Joseph Valotta, of Pittsburgh, Saved
from Death Chair.
Joseph Valotta, of Pittsburgh, has
been saved from death in the electric
chair at Rockview through a recom-
mendation by the Board of Pardons,
on Wednesday, that his sentence be
commuted to life imprisonment.
Valotta, who was scheduled to go to
the chair next Monday morning, had
been granted more respites in his
fight for life than any other map in
the history of Pennsylvania.
On October 30th, 1922, he attended
a christening on the South side, Pitts-
burgh, and on his way home he was
followed by a bunch of striking rail-
road shopmen who cried out, “Get the
scab.” Valotta drew a revolver that
he had purchased a few days previous
and shot into the crowd, fatally
wounding Thomas Hopkins. Police-
man Edward Couch made a dash to
capture Valotta and he also shot him,
maintaining at his trial that he
thought him one of the strikers.
At his trial Valotta was convicted
of first degree murder for killing the
policeman and second degree for kill-
ing Hopkins. He was sentenced to
die in the electric chair and the origi-
nal date set was March 24th, 1914.
Valotta was brought to the death
house on March 22nd, and on the night
of the 23rd, only a few hours before
he was to have gone to the chair he
was granted a respite.
Then started a fight for his life |
which has been carried through most
of the State courts and up to the U.
S. Supreme court, as well as repeated
appeals to the Board of Pardons. In
the two years Valotta has been grant-
ed eleven respites, and now has finally
won the fight for his life.
Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers
at State College Next Week.
The Pennsylvania State College
ought to get some good advertising
next week when the summer conven-
tion of the Pennsylvania Newspaper
Publishers’ association is held there
on Monday and Tuesday. It will be a
good opportunity for newspaper men
from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to
see that those
Pennsylvania, and their educational
institutions not the only ones of merit
in this great Commonwealth.
Headquarters and meetings = of the
publishers will be held at the Centre |
Hills Country club, while the guests
will be quartered in Watts hall and |
Varsity hall. Meals will be served at
the Country club at Tbcts. A golf
tournament will be held on Tuesday
afternoon on the Centre Hills course.
Big programs have been arranged for
both the daily and weekly divisions of
the association and the meetings
promise much of interest to news-
paper men.
But even so, all of them should take
time to visit Bellefonte and see the
town’s magnificent Spring and the big
trout in Spring creek, as well as the
night landing of the mail planes on
the aviation field. These are all things
they cannot see anywhere else in
Pennsylvania and we feel sure that
every man will consider it time well
spent to visit Bellefonte, the home of
sc many Governors.
New Humane Society
Centre County.
Officer for
County health officer J. L. Tressel, of
Bellefonte, has been appointed to rep-
resent the Western Pennsylvania
Humane Society in Centre county.
The Society is a chartered organiza-
tion, has been in existence since 1874,
and has done a very commendable
work. It was organized for the pur-
pose of preventing cruelty te dumb
animals, helpless children and aged
persons, and for the punishment of
those who wilfully violate the laws of
Pennsylvania regarding such offenses.
Allegations of cruelty reported to
officer Tressel wiil be given careful
investigation, and any cases that can-
not be remedied by advice and warn-
ing will be prosecuted in accordance
with the law. The humane work is
not new to Mr. Tressel. He repre-
sented the Society in Washington
county for several years before com-
ing to Bellefonte.

George C. Johnson Killed by Truck in |
Altoona.
George C. Johnson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Curtis Johnson, of Bellefonte, is
dead at his home in Altoona as the re-
sult of being run down by a big truck
on Wednesday morning. The acci-
dent happened at 11.10 o’clock in the
morning and Johnson died at the Al-
toona hospital at 12.30 o’clock.
Mr. Johnson was a plumber by
trade and was employed by Elway &
Chamberlain. At the time of the ac-
cident he was on his way to Sixth
avenue and Second street where he
was engaged in installing bathroom
fixtures. At the intersection of
Eighth avenue and Seventh streets he
stepped from the curb right in front
of a truck driven by Thomas Francis,
of Jugtown. He was knocked down
land one wheel passed over his body
but the driver was able to stop his
truck before the rear wheel touched
him. Johnson was picked up and
taken to the Altoona hospital where
it was found that he had sustained a
fracture at the base of the skull,
caused no doubt when his head struck
the pavement.
The unfortunate man was a son of
Curtis and Augusta Ward Johnson
and was born in Bellefonte on July
26th, 1881, hence was almost forty-
five years old. He learned the plumb-
ing trade in Bellefonte and eighteen
years ago located in Altoona. He was
a member of the Presbyterian church,
the Mountain City lodge I. O. O. F.,
Altoona Encampment and the Modern
Woodmen of America.
Surviving are his wife, Jessie M.
Johnson, and three children, Harold,
Laura and Ralph, all at home. He
also leaves his parents, living in
Bellefonte, and four sisters, Mrs.
Charles Smith, of State College; Mrs.
Oscar Lonebarger, of Spring town-
ship; Miss Hannah, at home, and Mrs.
Robert Gehret, of Bellefonte.
Former Bellefonte Resident Takes
Own Life.
William H. Frank, a well known
resident of Hollidaysburg but who a
number of years ago lived in Belle-
fonte, committed suicide on Sunday
morning by hanging himself to a
rafter in the attic of his home while
the members of his family were at
church services. Ill health was as-
signed as the cause. Mr. Frank was
alone in the house at the time he com-
! mitted the deed. When the family re-
turned from church Mr. Frank was
not in evidence and failed to answer
when called. An investigation dis-
| closed his lifeless body hanging in the
| attic. :
{ Mr. Frank and family came to
! Bellefonte thirty-five years or more
| ago, shortly after the building of the
| Bellefonte furnace. He was an ex-
|pert furnaceman and had charge
| of the furnace a number of years. The
family lived out near Coleville. On
I leaving here he moved to Hollidays-
burg. Of late he had been employed
lat the plant of the Penn Central
{ Light and Power company and a
broken arm sustained at that plant
brought on a spell of impaired health
{which was probably the controlling
i factor in his act of self-destruction.
He is survived by his wife and five
| children; one brother and six half-
{brothers and sisters. Burial was
made in the Greenlawn cemetery,
| Hollidaysburg, on Wednesday morn-
ing.
Penna. Railroad Accident Cost Six-
teen Lives.
One of the worst accidents that has
{ occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad
iin years took place at Gray’s Station,
! three miles east of Blairsville, short-
{ly after midnight, last Wednesday
night when the Cincinnati limited
ran into the rear end of the
Pittsburgh express which had been
stopped on the main track to re-
pair an air hose. Fifteen people were
killed outright and one died later,
bringing the toll of death to sixteen
with thirty or more injured. The
property loss will reach close to half
a million dollars.
When the Pittsburgh express stop-
' ped on account of a leaking air hose
i the rear brakeman was sent back the
| required distance to post flares and
| torpedoes and he is supported in his
declaration that the signals were
properly placed by the fact that the
flares were found burning after the
wreck. On the other hand the fire-
man on the second engine of the Cin-
cinnati limited, which was hauled by
two engines, declared that he did not
see any signals. The engineers of
both locomotives were killed as was
the fireman on the front locomotive.

——Only thirty-one days of the
trout fishing season remain and so
cold has been the weather up to this
time that there really hasn’t been any
ideal fishing since the opening of the
season on April 156th. Of course a
few persistent fishermen, who have
haunted the streams day after day,
have been fortunate in landing some
trout but very few have reached the
limit on any one day.
Wheat continues to tumble in
price and nobody cares much, but the
farmer who either forgot to or
wouldn’t sell his last year’s crop when
a dollar-eighty could have been got-
ten for it.

Centre County Junior Farmers Hold
Field Day and Picnic at State
College.
Young farmers from every part of
the county assembled at State Col-
lege last Thursday for the purpose of
competing in the State wide live stock
judging contests and for holding their
annual picnic. The entire forenoon
was taken up by the judging contests
in which two boys and two girls took
part as representatives of the county.
The final results show that Centre
county stood high. The vocational
team in poultry and the vocational
team in swine were right up among
the top notchers. The young farmer’s
team consisting of boys and girls not
in vocational classes, placed 2nd in
general livestock. The Spring Mills
vocational school team was third in
dairy cattle.
Our boys know good livestock when
they see it, as was shown by their
ability in the judging ring last Thurs-
day. As a reward for their fine show-
ing, the whole Center county group of
over sixty boys were taken down on
Spring creek for a fine picnic dinner
and an afternoon of sports.
A brief meeting of the Junior
Farmers’ Association was held imme-
diately after dinner. Plans were made
for the opening of their club house at
Grange Park as soon as it is complet-
ed late in August.
The boys were divided into two
groups. The boys from the western
section of the county consisting of
Boalsburg, State College, Pine Grove
Mills, Penna. Furnace, Port Matilda,
and Stormstown; the eastern section
was composed of Centre Hall, Spring
Mills, Pleasant Gap, Bellefonte, Hub-
lersburg, Howard, Millheim, Rebers-
burg, and Aaronsburg. Horse shoe
pitching, and base-ball were the main
events of the afternoon. Points were
awarded for all events. The west won

Two Well Known Men Join College
Staff.
The coming of Dr. Wheeler P.
Davey, internationally known re-
search physicist, to join the faculty
of the school of Chemistry and Phys-
ics at the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, has aroused great interest
among the industrial people of Penn-
sylvania. Dr. Davey has been in
charge of physical research at the
General Electric Company’s labora-
tories, and is noted for his contribu-
tions to the field of electrical science.
The college also has engaged Dr.
Emil D. Reis, formerly in charge of
motor fuel research for the Standard
Oil company, as associate professor
of chemical engineering. Both will
start their duties in September.

Reed O. Steely, Minister,
Ninety Pounds Pasture Daily, is Cow’s
Limit.
A cow giving an average of 35
pounds of milk a day would have to
consume 175 pounds of good pasture
every day to maintain her yield and
keep in good condition, according to
the Larrowe Institute of Animal Eco-
nomics. Since few can eat more than
90 pounds of grass in one day even
from the most luxuriant growth, a
big portion of the 35 pounds of milk
she gives comes right off her back un-
less the pasture is supplemented with
a grain ration.
“All grass, regardless of condition
or location, is well over one-half wa-
ter,” states the Institute. “In ordin-
ary field grasses this percentage runs
from 53 to 77. Sweet clover is 75 per
cent. water, Alfalfa ranges from 70
to 80 per cent. water. From any pas-
ture a cow gets not more than 2 to 5
per cent. of protein and a fraction of 1
per cent. of fat; and of all the grasses
she eats, only 15 to 30 per cent. is
made up of the very necessary carbo-
hydrates. Because grass does not con-
tain enough of the feeding elements
a cow needs in proportion to its bulk,
the cow cannot keep on producing to
the limit of her capacity on pasture
alone. Supplementing the grass with
a grain ration, however, keeps her
from using up her bodily reserve.
