The local ledge of Moose have
not abandoned their plans for re-
modeling their theatre building. The
project was rather an ambitious one,
involving a very large expenditure of
money. In order to spread it over a
longer period, they are considering the

living tragedian. Rarely does an
actor of his eminence appear outside

ported by Miss Genevieve Hamper and
a large cast when he appears here
Monday night Sept. 20.

to spend them is at the Scenic. There
you can have several hours of inter-
esting entertainment at a minimum of
expense. Every evening’s program is
high-class, the musical program be-
ing on a par with the pictures.
MARSH CREEK YOUTHS
CUT TAIL OFF DOG.
Inhuman Act Cost Them $41.85 in
Fines and Costs.
To dock the tail of a bull dog is in
keeping with the nature of the beast
but when it comes to cutting the tail
off of a dog not your own it is a costly
proceeding, as two Marsh Creek
youths, Theodore Emenhizer and
James Packer, have found out to their
sorrow, as the inhuman act cost them
just $41.85.
The dog in the case, a young collie-
shepherd, is the property of James
Fye, of Marsh Creek. On the 30th
of July Mr. Fye had driven in to
Howard in a two horse wagon, the
dog following along. Emenhizer and
Packer had also gone to Howard with
a two horse team. The two young
men were not far behind Fye on the
way home and the dog evidently got
mixed in the teams and followed that
driven by Packer instead of that of
his owner.
When they got far enough into. the
foothills of the mountains so they
would not be detected, it is alleged,
the young men stopped their team,
caught the dog and while Packer held
him Emenhizer cut off all but about
four inches of the bushy tail. Thus
maimed the dog went home and
when Mr. Fye discovered what had
been done he had no doubt as to who
were the guilty parties.
George S. Glenn, of Bellefonte,
humane officer for Centre county, was
notified and on August 30th he went
to Howard and before ’Squire A. A.
Pletcher swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Emenhizer and Packer. The
young men were placed under arrest
and Saturday of last week was fixed
as the date for the hearing before
"Squire Pletcher, but rather than ap-
pear for a hearing they appeared be-
fore the justice last Friday and set-
tled the case by paying the fine and
costs, a total of $41.85. This should be
a warning to others that it does not
pay to be inhuman to dumb animals.
Why the Pike Alley Sewer Leaked.
On several occasions during the
summer Dr. C. M. Parish appeared be-
fore borough council and complained
about sewer water draining into the
cellar of his new building every time
it rained hard, maintaining that the
sewage must come from a leak in
the sewer on Pike alley. Borough
manager Seibert expressed the convic-
tion that the drainage came from
filled up cess pools east of the Parrish
building.
No one, however, doubted the doc-
tor’s assertion that sewer drainage
into his cellar was not a very desirable
thing and finally borough council or-
dered a new iron sewer pipe laid
which, once sealed, would pre-
vent any leakage. Consequently the
iron pipe was secured and men were
put to work digging the ditch for the
new line and then the mystery of the
sewage drainage into the Parrish
building was uncovered.
In the old building there was a
sewer connection with the Pine street
sewer but when the doctor erected his
new building he connected with the
main sewer on Allegheny street. And
in erecting the wall and chimney the
workmen in charge: had simply cut
the connection to the Pike alley sewer
and never plugged the opening. The
resuit was that during hard rain
storms, and at other times when an
excess of sewage was sent down the
Pike alley sewer it could not help but
run right out of the oper. sewer con-
nection against thc foundation
wall of the Parrish building, and of
course seep through into his cellar.
But the condition was one in which
the borough was not at fault.
Bellefonte and Jersey Shore Conten-
ders for League Pennant.
The Susquehanna baseball league
season was officially declared closed on
Monday by C. C. Crouse, of Williams-
port, president of the association, who
also declared the Bellefonte team the
winner of the second period. Owing
to so much rainy weather during the
summer each team had quite a number
of postponed games, but inasmuch as
the season was scheduled to close on
Labor day regardless of the number
of postponed games, president Crouse
had no altermative in the matter.
Jersey Shore, having won the first
series of games and Bellefonte being
declared the winner of the second
series, these two teams will now have
to play five games to decide the cham-
pionship of the league. The first of
these games was played on Hughes
field, Bellefonte, yesterday afternoon,
but had not been decided when the
Watchman went to press.
Academy Will Open Next Tuesday.
The Bellefonte Academy will open
its fall session on Tuesday, Sept. 14th,
at 9 a. m. Students in Centre county
who wish to enter the Academy this
fall are requested to report for en-
rollment at that time.
Mr. A. P. Ringler, of Gettysburg
College, Princeton University and the
University of Wisconsin, has been
added to the already large faculty to
assist in the mathematical and
modern language departments. Mr.
Ringler was a teacher at the Academy
before the World’s war and proved
himself a strong teacher and a good
disciplinarian.
The prospects for another success-
ful year in scholarship and in athle-
tics are very bright.
Few Centre County Farmers to Motor
to Sesqui Next Week.
As it looks now comparatively few
Centre county farmers will go on the
proposed motor trip to Philadelphia,
next Monday, to attend agricultural
week at the Sesqui-Centennial. Ac-
cording to county agent R. C. Blaney,
yesterday, the rainy weather of last
week undoubtedly had a deterring in-
fluence on many farmers who were
considering the trip but hesitated in
saying they would go because of the
uncertainty of weather conditions.
This week a few farmers have inform-
ed the county agent that they would
like to go and if they can arrange
their affairs will be on hand on Mon-
day morning. Mr. Blaney, however,
is not expecting a large delegation,
stating that there will probably be not
over half a dozen cars. But he is go-
ing. He will go on the schedule time
as published last week and any farmer
who intends going should report at the
court house, Bellefonte, not later than
eight o’clock on Monday morning.
The Hess Party is Off Again After
"Big Game.
The call of the wild is on Centre
county’s big game hunters again. !
Lured on by the thrills of their ex-
perience in British Columbia last fall
Newton E. Hess, of State College,
and his brother Ernest, of Boalsburg,
left on Wednesday for the “Packson’s
Hole” country of Wyoming.
With duffle bags bulging and faces
beaming in expectation of a great
time in the Rockies the brothers
boarded the Lehigh after telling their
friends that they had set no time for
their return and were going to stay
as long as the chase offered good
sport. Newt confided to us that he
doesn’t intend coming back until he
brings down an elk, even if it takes
until next spring.
Their destination was Cody, Wy-
oming, which place will be their base
while on the expedition.
——The remains of Lieut. Cyrus
W. Bettis, who died in the Walter
Reed hospital, Washington, on Wed-
nesday of last week as the result of
injuries sustained when his plane
crashed in the Seven mountains on
Monday, September 23rd, were taken
to Port Huron, Mich., his home town,
for burial on Tuesday. A small
fleet of army planes flew over the
cemetery during the services at the
grave.
Argument on the petition of
Geo. A. Beezer, Geo. H. Yarnell and
Josephine Grenoble in- the Centre
County bank matter has been set for
next Tuesday before Judge Albert W.
Johuston sitting in the U. S. District
court. The petition seeks the removal
of the present receivers and the trans- |
fer of control of the affairs of the
bank from the courts of Centre ecoun-
ty, back into the hands of the Federal
courts.
——One of the surprising things in
connection with the quantity of rain
that has fallen during the past several
weeks is that it has had no appreci-
able effect on the streams in Centre
county.
clouded several times from surface
drainage it has not raised enough to
be noticeable. But those farmers in
the county who depend upon cisterns
for their water supply are now well
stocked up. ?
——The Pennsylvania Railroad
company has started a campaign
against the careless automobile driv-
er who not only endangers his own
life but the lives of others by taking
reckless chances at grade crossings. |
The company has had published a
neat booklet entitled “Cross Cross-
ings Carefully,” which contains many
valuable pointers for the man who |
thinks he can beat a train over a
crossing and get away with it safely.
Anthony Pantallo, a sixty-two
year old Italian, was brought to the
Centre county jail from Philipsburg,
last Friday, for alleged misdoings
with a fifteen year old girl, whose
name has been withheld from public- !
ity. Coincident with the arrest of
Pantallo Mrs. Lydia Daughenbaugh
was also arrested for keeping a dis-
orderly house and in default of five
hundred dollars bail was committed to
jail to await trial at the next session
of court.
Last Friday's Philadelphia pa-
pers came out with a scare story in
effect that two army fliers had been
lost in the mountains of Pennsylvania
while flying to the air races in Phila-
delphia. The intimation was that
they had come down in either the Al-
legheny or Seven mountains, but for-
tunately there was no foundation for
the story, as the fliers had never en-
tered Pennsylvania, one of them com-
ing down at Dayton, Ohio, and anoth-
er at Moundsville, W. Va.
Representatives of the Crouse-
Hinds company, of New York city,
were in Bellefonte last week giving a
night demonstration on the Diamond
of their four way traffic signal. The
signal is equipped on the four sides
with three lights, red, which means
“stop;” violet, which means “caution,”
and green, “go” It is an electrical
signal automatically operated but the :
price of over three hundred per did
not appeal very strongly to the mem-
bers of Bellefonte council who saw
the demonstration,
While the water has been °
' Miss Thelma Williams Not Barred as
“Miss Pittsburgh.”
Court action was invoked in Pitts-
burgh, last Friday, to disbar Miss
Thelma Williams, the nineteen year
old Port Matilda girl, from represent-
ing that city as “Miss Pittsburgh” in
the boardwalk beauty pageant at At-
lantic City this week, on the ground
that she was not a duly qualified resi-
dent of that section of the State. But
the committee of actors and movie
officials under whose auspices the con-
test for the selection of “Miss Pitts-
burgh” was held, refused to consider
the disbarment proceedings and the
brown-haired Centre county girl is
this week parading among the beau-
ties in Atlantic City.
Following her selection to repre-
sent Pittsburgh in the seashore pag-
eant Miss Williams was taken in
charge by the committee and for four
days made rounds of the shops of the
Smoky city while purchases of suit-
able clothing were made for her. On
Friday she was taken to Washington,
D. C., where she posed in moving
pictures and a test made of her his-
trionic ability. On Monday she was
taken to Atlantic City for the pag-
,eant which begun on Tuesday and
which will close today.
Whether she is chosen “Miss Amer-
ica” or not she will be taken to New
York city following the pageant and
. given a tryout in the movies and on
, the stage. So it is among the possi-
| bilities that the little girl from Bald
, Eagle valley may finally develop in-
|to a movie actress or a star on the |
| legitimate stage.
Green Family Reunion.
The fifth annual Green family re-
union was held at Runville on Mon-
;day. Arrangements had been made
: to hold the gathering in Locust grove
i but because of the wet weather the
i farm house on the George Walker
estate farm was secured and the sev-
eral heavy downpours during the day
did not mar the pleasure of those in
attendance. In the nature of such
gatherings the big dinner was one of
the most enjoyable features. It was
decided to hold next year’s reunion
in Locust grove, at Runville, on Labor
day. Those in attendance on Monday
were as follews:
Thomas Green, wife and daughters,
Dorothy, Minnie, Roberta and Anna May,
and son Robert, and John Stevenson and

Altoona Races Postponed Until Next
Saturday.
the Altoona Speedway Association
that the Labor day, 250-mile speed
classic is postponed until Saturday,
September 18.
| Steady rainfall during the last
week-end followed by a cloud-burst
1 Sunday flooded all land adjoining the
| speedway property.
| Joint conference was called by the
{ speedway management, in which
| drivers, speedway officials and A.A.A.
| representatives were present. Condi-
tions about the track were investigat-
ied with a result that unanimous con-
“sent was reached on postponement.
Delaying the staging of the race at
this time will offer additional assur-
‘ance of a more carefully selected
‘group of eighteen starters from the
, twenty-three entered. In announcing
the new race date the drivers and
mechanicians will be afforded an addi-
‘tional opportunity to tune their cars
to a higher degree of efficiency. Qual-
ification tests can therefore be accom-
| plished more readily than would have
| been done in the recent short interval
| between rains.
All tickets held for the Labor day
date will be honored on September 18.
Rockview Penitentiary Without Pie
on Tuesday.
Rockview penitentiary was minus
pie on Tuesday, only in this case it
was not the table dessert but Pie, a
negro inmate, who made his escape
from the early morning gang at work
on the big impounding dam in Me-
Bride’s gap. The early gang goes on
duty shortly after six o'clock and a
few minutes after they arrived on the
mountain Pie ducked into the dense
underbrush and disappeared.
He was sent up from Erie county
for from six to twelve years for rob-
bery and had five years yet to serve.
He is 35 years old, 5 feet 7% inches
tall, weighs 155 pounds and light in
color.
Mrs. J. Will Conley is offering
her home on Logan street for rent for
the winter. The house is in an ex-
ceptionally good condition, well fur-
nished and with all modern conven-
'iences. Those wanting a furnished
house could not find one more com-
, fortable or desirable than that of Mrs.
Conley. 34-3t.
