JUDGE KELLER HANDS OUT
SOME JAIL SENTENCES.
Cases Disposed of at the Regular Ses-
sion of Court This Week.
The regular February term of court
commenced on Monday morning with
Judge Harry Keller presiding. Less
than a dozen motions and petitions
were presented for the court’s con-
sideration. The list of grand jurors
was called and twenty responded. H.
W. Rabert was appointed foreman
after which Judge Keller gave them
the customary instructions as to their
duties. The grand jury then retired
to take up the consideration of bills
presented to them by district attorney
John G. Love.
Following the retirement of the
grand jury the list of constables was
called but no special reports noted.
The list of traverse jurors was then
called and those excused for various
reasons checked off by the clerk of
court.
On Monday afternoon Oscar Lucas,
the young man arrested two weeks
ago by chief of police Harry Dukeman
on the charge of stealing tires and
other equipment from automobiles in
Bellefonte, entered a plea of guilty
and was given from one to two years
in the county jail.
Thomas Gorman, who escaped from
, the Rockview penitentiary in 1920,
{and has since served a four years term
in the eastern penitentiary for burg-
lary, being brought back to Centre
county on the expiration of his sen-
tence in that institution, entered a plea
of guilty to breaking and escaping and
was sentenced to serve out his original
sentence in the western penitentipry
and an additional one of two and a
half to five years.
The first case called for trial on
Monday was that of the Common-
wealth vs. Mrs. Emma 8S. Cooke,
charged with assault and battery and
aggravated assault and battery. Pros-
ecutor Charles S. Hughes. The case
grew out of an alleged assault made by
the defendant upon the prosecutor, on
the public pavement on Bishop street
last fall. The case was tried for the
Commonwealth by Ivan Walker, who
had it in charge while serving as dis-
trict attorney, while Mrs. Cooke was
represented by former Judge Arthur
C. Dale and S. D. Gettig. The jury
returned a verdict of guilty as indict-
ed and Mrs. Cooke’s attorneys
promptly gave notice that they will
file a motion for a new trial. The
court held Mrs. Cooke in $1,000 bail
pending the filing and disposition of
the motion.
All of Tuesday afternoon’s session
of court was taken up with the trial
of the case of the Commonwealth vs.
| George Mothershaugh, indicted on
{three counts, resisting an officer, as-
sault and battery and aggravated as-
.sault and battery. Prosecutors, J. C.
, Wedekind and Nathan Frantz. Along
, about the middle of January the above
named officers went to the home of
: Mr, Mothersbaugh with a warrant for
his arrest for cutting timber on land
alleged to be owned by Thomas Ken-
nedy. Mr. Mothersbaugh claimed the
land was owned by his son and he had
‘a legal right to cut the timber. He
refused to go with the officers and re-
sisted any attempt to take him with
{the result that a general fight ensued
in which the officers and Mothers-
, baugh were pretty well done up. The
“jury found him guilty on the first and
second counts and not guilty on the
third and the court sentenced him to
bay a fine of one dollar, costs of prose-
“cution and imprisonment in the coun-
[ty jail for not less than three nor more
than six months.
| There were also two larceny charges
"against Mz. Mothersbaugh but as his
son presented a deed to the land in
dispute the charges were dropped as
the title to the land is a matter to be
tested out in the common pleas court.
| Bert Parks pleaded guilty to the
lillegal possession of intoxicating
liquor, in court on Wednesday morning,
‘and before passing sentence Judge
| Keller asked him where he got the
i moonshine. Parks said he got it from
ta man he had never seen before and
[didn’t know; that he brought it to his
thome on Halfmoon hill. The court
| sentenced him to pay a fine of $100,
‘costs and from one to two years in
| the county jail.
Ruth Shade, of Lock Haven, plead
‘guilty to the charge of keeping a
{bawdy-house at State College, but
{told the court that she was simply
| there taking care of the woman who
| did run it while her husband is in jail.
{ The court imposed a sentence of one
‘dollar fine, costs and three months in
the county jail.
The grand jury completed its work
on Tuesday and reported that they
had acted on eighteen bills of indict-
ment, fifteen of which were found
true bills and three ignored.
They further reported that they
had visited and inspected the county
buildings and recommended that a
steel door is necessary at the rear part
of the jail to be used as an exit; floor
{of jail needs repairing, also roof of
building; windows need be glazed and
painted on the outside, also the entire
jail building outside should be painted.
The south side porch is badly in need
of repair. Present office room should
be converted into a ladies ward, and
the parlor used as the sheriff’s office,
present sitting room to be used as a
parlor, The kitchen should be moved
back to an adjoining small room. The
library room in the court house, part
of the ceiling dangerous and should
have attention. Book cases very dusty.
There should be a room provided for
the witnesses to be called before
the grand jury in which to stay until
called. Room should be adjacent to
and be open for business by the first of
April.
grand jury room. Coat hooks should
| also be provided in the grand jury
room. We recommend that some
provision be made in the prothono-
tary’s office to take care of excess
records,
fast. Entire court house, including
windows, walls and ceilings, should be
thoroughly cleaned, and walls painted
or cleaned in some respect.

William H. Brown to Manage Cenire
County Hospital.
At a special meeting of the board of
directors of the Centre County hospi-
tal, held on Tuesday evening, William
H. Brown, former recorder of Centre
county, was elected business manager
of the institution.
The creation and filling of the new
position is altogether experimental.
It is to be tried for a year and, if then
found to be advantageous to the insti-
tution, it will be continued.
As the new official has had no ex-
perience in this kind of work he will
go to Johnstown for two weeks of
study of the management of one of
the larger institutions in that city.
His salary for the year has been
fixed at $1800.00. So far as we have
been informed Mr. John Dubbs
was also considered for the position.

Penn State Telephone Exchange will
be Closed Monday.
Bell Telephone company linemen
have been busy this week making the
final connections of all Penn State
subscribers with the Bell switchboard
and by Monday morning every phone
will have been replaced and cut in
and the Penn State exchange will be
closed as a separate operating unit;
and thus will pass away all com-
petition in the telephone business in
this part of the State.
With the closing of the Penn State
exchange W. W. Smith, who has been
the superintendent in charge for
many years, will retire from the tele-
phone business and in the future will
divide his time between his dairy
farm above Milesburg and the ice
cream business in Bellefonte, and thus
expects to be about as busy as ever.
The trouble gang of the Penn State
company will be given employment by
the Bell company and two of the
young lady operators in the Penn
State exchange have been offered posi-
tions in the Bell exchange, as the in-
creased number of subseribers will
necessitate an addition to the operat-
ing force of the Bell company.

Big Spring Garage to Expand.
Mrs. Odillie Mott owns two build-
ings on south Water street which she
is anxious to sell to somebody just as
they stand, the ene proviso being that
they must be removed from the
ground on which they are located be-
tween the first and tenth of April.
The buildings are the old blacksmith
shop just south of the Big Spring
garage and the house next in line and
which is now accupied by Patsy Bath-
urst and family.
The ground is under a ninety-nine
year’s lease to the proprietors of the
Big Spring garage, Jack and Earl
Houck, and when the lease was exe-
cuted it was with the understanding
that the old buildings be removed at
any time the garage proprietors de-
sired the use of the land. That time
has now arrived, hence the desire of
Mrs. Mott to sell the buildings as they
stand on condition that they be re-
moved early in April.
As soon as they get possession of
the ground it is the intention of the
Houck brothers to erect thereon an
up-to-date filling station and convert
the ground surrounding it into a park-
ing space for cars in order to avoid
congesting the street at that point by
cars stopping for a supply of gas and
oil. It will be an improvement to that
portion of south Water street in var-
ious ways.

Tractor Clinic Attracts Hundreds. |
The tractor clinic held in Bellefonte,
Tuesday, by the Beatty Motor Co., at-
tracted hundreds of interested farmers
and others from all parts of the coun-
ty. |
The clinic was started in the Riche-
lieu theatre at 10 o’clock, when there
was shown a screen picture of the
making of a Fordson tractor, from the |
taking of the ore from the ground |
through the processes of smelting,
casting, milling, machining, assemb-
ling, painting and delivery to the sales
floor. Every step in the process of |
making a tractor was combined to’
make a very illuminating picture. !
That feature over the spectators as- :
sembled in the shop of the Beatty gar- |
age, which had been converted into a
banquet hall, where a sumptuous feast
was served. Sumptuous is the word—
for it was not a mere luncheon. It was |
a regular dinner served by the Colo- |
nial restaurant, hot and in courses.
259 persons were served and it was
well into the middle of the afternoon
before the last of the guests had left :
the table. i
Chas. R. Beatty was the toast mas- |
ter and at intervals introduced speak-
ers who talked of subjects relative to i
the use and practicability of tractors |
in agriculture and other industry. |
Among the speakers were J. W. Orr,
of the Ford Motor Co., Pittsburgh; R. |
U. Blaisingame, of The Pennsylvania
State College; Jack Harold, of the H.:
R. Hooper Implement Co., Youngs-
town, Ohio; W. Harrison Walker Esq., !
Bellefonte; John B. Payne, Bellefonte ;
and Supt. J. C. Stutsman, of the new |
Western penitentiary.
The Kiwanis quartet composed of :
Cecil Walker, Russell Blair, J. C.!
Stutsman and John Rossman contii- |
buted some of their -catchiest songs
and then the drawing for the attend-
ance prizes was made.
The prizes were merchandise up to '
$5 in value and the lucky numbers
were held by C. D. Shook, Spring
Mills; J. E. Gilbert, Rebersburg; I. O.
Campbell, Penna. Furnace; Claude |
Poorman, Bellefonte, and K. A. Wil-
liams, Unionville.
Bellefonte Jumps to Second Place in
Mountain Basket Ball League.
The Bellefonte High school basket- |!
ball team trounced Philipsburg, last
Friday night, obtaining half the re-
venge for a two point defeat suffered
the week before. The final score, 41
to 24, shows just how ample revenge
was. During the first half, Bellefonte
ran wild while their opponents did not
score a single goal in the field. Dutch
Waite surprised himself in his success
at dropping them in from the center
of the floor. He did this no less than
four times in the first half. At the
close of the first half the score stood
28-5 in favor of Bellefonte. It seemed
that Bellefonte had satisfied itself at
this stage of the game and was unwil-
ling to continue the crushing stride,
consequently they tallied less often
than their opponents but still main-
tained enough points to keep the com-
fortable margin that they possessed.
Bellefonte accounted for 17 field goals,
most of them of the spectacular va-
riety.
The largest crowd that has appear-
ed in the Y. M. C. A. in four years was
on hand to see the game. The entire
balcony was crowded and some trick-
led onto the playing floor.
This (Friday) night the team will
go to Tyrone and tomorrow night will
play at Huntingdon. By winning from
Philipsburg last Friday night Belle-
fonte jumped to second place in the
Mountain league and has a good
chance to win the pennant.
No New Concrete Road Work in Cen-
tre County This Year.
At the present time there is no new
state road work in prospect for Cen-
tre county this year. Early in Janu-
ary the State Highway Department
advertised for bids for the grading
of roadway from Snow Shoe to the
Moshannon creek, in Centre county,
and from Moshannon creek to Kyler-
town, in Clearfield county, but before
the date for the letting the advertise-
ment was withdrawn and no bids for
the work were opened.
It is understood, however, that bids
for this work will again be advertised
for in the new future, but they will be
limited to grading and drainage only.
The entire stretch of roadway in that
section is elose to eight miles, running
from Snow Shoe to near Kyiertown,
and after it is graded and drained it
will be stoned and put in good condi-
tion for travel by State highway em-
ployees, which will give an improved
highway clear through from Belle-
fonte to Clearfield. Other improve-
ments are contemplated on roads in
the county, but so far as can now he
determined no new concrete roadway
will be under construction.
——The Centre county association
of Philadelphia gave its twenty-
fourth annual dinner dance at the
Bellevue-Stratford hotel in that city,

er Underwood, William S. Furst, Ira
D. Garman and I. G. Gordon Foster.

only organization of Centre county
people in existence, though many

Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Altoona,
Johnstown and most any other city or
large town in the State.

State College Planning for a Commun-
ity Hotel.
Citizens of State College are inter-
ested in a proposal to build a fine new
hotel in that place. The project was
launched by the Hockenbury System
Inc., of Harrisburg and has thus far
met with such encouragement as to
give promise of successful outcome.
The Hockenbury System have epe-
cialized in Community hotel building ;
the Lycoming, in Williamsport, being
their largest nearby project, and have
built many hotels within recent. years.
They make the survey for location,
design and equipment of the building,
selecting three sites in the communi-
ty from which the local committee
later must chose the one to be used..
Owners of the present hotel at State
College having withdrawn their build-
ing and site as a possibility it is rea~
sonably certain that the new structure,

Perrine—XKnisely.—Theodore G. Per-
rine, an employee of the State High-
drive on to Bellefonte. The party came to
‘way Department in Bellefonte, and
| Miss Dorothy Knisely, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Knisely, were mar-
ried in Lock Haven, last Saturday, by
Rev. J. Merril Williams. They re-
turned to Bellefonte on Monday and
for the present will be quartered at
the Garman house.
——Peculiar atmospheric condi-
tions prevailed in Centre county on
Monday morning. Out at Runville
and throughout the Bald Eagle Valley,
as well as down Nittany valley it was*
quite cold while in Bellefonte the
morning was very springlike. Auto-
mobhilists driving to Bellefonte from
Bald Eagle Valley and also from dowi
Nittany valley aver that about half
a mile from Bellefonte they struck a
warm current of air and the change
was so pronounced that the windshield
on the car clouded up like a heavy
coating of frost and it was necessary
to stop and clean the glass before the
driver could proceed. Over in Brush
valley it was crisply cold while an-
other warm stretch prevailed in
Pennsvalley where the water was
running in little rivulets on the roads
before nine o’clock.

Every man woman and child
is entitled to a certain amount of rec-
reation every day, and while the
children get theirs in play grown peo-
ple devote their play time to various
diversions, one of the principal ones
being the motion pictures. Bellefonte
people know that the one place where
they are always assured of seeing the
best and most up-to-date pictures is
at the Scenic. The greatest films
made are shown there, which means
a big program every evening in the
week. Be a regular and see them all,
Bellefonte Grain Markets.
