CONCLUDING CASES OF SEPTEMBER COURT. Interesting Automobile Collision Case Last One Tried. The two cases of Robert Myers Walker and Robert Myers vs. Charles N. Decker, which went to trial Wed- nesday afternoon, was the outcome of an automobile collision in the village of Hublersburg on the . evening of August 22, 1924, wherein the plain- tiffs alleged that the defendant came out of a side road from the left of the plaintiffs who were coming west on the State highway and hit the plaintiff’s car at or near George F. Hoy’s store. The defendant averred. that while he did come out of the side road, that when he did so he saw a car coming from the east some 356 feet from where he came onto the State high- way, and that the defendant had com- pleted the turn and was properly on the State highway when the operator of plaintiff’s automobile attempted to pass on the defendant’s right instead of the left, and that the plaintiff’s car hit the defendant’s car and broke his right front wheel and that the plain- tiff then smashed into a tree which ruined his, the plaintiff’s, automobile. The plaintiff, however, contended that the defendant had hit the plaintiff's automobile in coming out from the side road which caused the operator of plaintiff’s automobile to lose con- trol thereof and caused him to smash into the tree, whereby Robert Myers Walker, the operator of the plaintiff’s automobile, was injured by his mouth striking some part of the steering wheel and his upper jaw broken in three places; he producing in court part of the jaw containing two teeth. That he was taken into a house in Hublersburg and received first aid, after which he and his three compan- ions were taken back to Flemington to his home. The suit of Robert Myers was for the automobile which the plaintiff claimed was a total wreck. : The defendant and his witnesses contended that the accident was the fault of Mr. Walker, that he had been driving too fast and in attempting to go to the defendant’s right had struck the beam of the scale in front of the store which veered him to the left and caused the plaintiff’s automobile to strike the defendant’s automobile. The defendant produced witnesses who testified that the plaintiff’s automo- bile had first struck the defendant's automobile and that the fault was with the plaintiff, which, however, was strenuously denied by the plain- tiffs and that the fault lay with the defendant. A large number of wit- nesses were called and examined and the case went to the jury on Friday afternoon after the defendant had raised the legal question of contribu- tory negligence. Verdict on Friday evening in favor of Robert Myers Walker for $255.00 and in favor of Robert Myers for $225, or a total of $480.00. : F. L. Wetzler vs. Isabel Zerby, Exe- cutrix of the last will and testament of Gertrude A. Taylor, deceased; be- ing an action by Mr. Wetzler, a fun- eral director, to recover for his serv- ices at the funeral of the decedent. The case was not contested and a ver- dict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for $342.00, with interest from October 30, 1923. This completed the September term of court, SENTENCE DAY ON SATURDAY. In court on Saturday Harold Meadis and Clarence Shoy, the two prisoners who escaped from Rockview peniten- tiary on Wednesday evening of last week, were called up for sentence. The men were captured between five and six o’clock on Friday evening, out in the neighborhood of Snow Shoe Intersection, by sheriff E. R. Taylor and two penitentiary guards. They both entered pleas of guilty to escap- ing and Meadis was the first man to face the court. He was sentenced in Butler county in June, 1925, to 23 to 5 years for larceny and Judge Kel- ler imposed a like sentence for escap- ing. Shoy, who also was from Butler county, was sent up in July, 1926, for two to four years for larceny, and he also drew a duplicate of his original sentence. Floyd Wilson plead guilty to steal- ing $24 from P. S. Richards, of Worth township, on September 24th. This was the second time that he had stolen money from Mr. Richards, but the case was not prosecuted the first time. He was sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar, costs of prosecution and spend one year in the Centre county jail. George Baney, who on September 30th, in company with Joseph Toner, led a state policeman a merry chase through Boggs township in a Ford car, plead guilty to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor and was sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar, costs of prosecution and undergo imprisonment in the county jail for a period of six months. Baney was also informed that his driver’s license would be re- voked for at least one year. At the request of district attorney John G. Love recognizances were for- feited in the case of the following men and women who were under bond to appear at the September session of court and failed to do so: R. J. Wit- mer, M. J. McBride, Michael B. Mor- risey, Stephen Morrisey, Hazel Me- Closkey and Anna Zelesnik. ——Columbus day was not gener- ally observed in Bellefonte, on Tues- day, the 434th anniversary of the dis- covery of America. TT TT Zion and Hecla Park to Get Electric CHEMICAL LIME CO. Light. Contracts were signed last week for the extension of the Keystone Power corporation’s service to Zion and Hec- la park. The main service line will be run from the aviation field down the back road to the park, with a spur line running into Zion. At Zion quite ‘a number of prospective users have been signed up while at the park the service will be taken by the Nittany Country club, Frank Hockman, at the park and his chicken farm, and Geo. H. Yarnell. Of course, many farmers along the line will probably eventual- ly take the service, as a number of them through the valley have been clamoring for electricity for a num- ber of years. As a means of perfecting its serv- ice the Keystone corporation has made plans for running a new feed- line from the Penn Public Service company’s lines at Tyrone down Bald Eagle valley to Bellefonte to connect with the lines coming to Bellefonte over Tussey mountain from Hunting- don county. This will give two main feed circuits, which should greatly re- duce if not entirely eliminate all dis- ruptions in service. Of course this line will not be built until next sum- mer, but it is one of the improvements planned for early in 1927. ——-Milton Sills’ masterpiece, “Men of Steel,” at the Moose theatre this Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Confer, who live near the Red Roost, with their two children, a boy four years old and a baby in its ‘mother’s arms, motored up Bald Eagle valley in a new Ford sedan purchased by Mr. Confer only about two weeks ago, for the purpose of visiting rela- tives. About a mile on this side of Unionville Mr. Confer intended mak- ing a left hand turn into a lane and held out his hand as a signal to cars in the rear. The driver of the car immediately behind Mr. Confer saw the signal and ran around to the right. The next car was occupied by Mrs. William Grauer, her daughter, Mrs. Sitnek and two boys and Miss Hannah Newman, of Altoona, Mrs. Sitnek at the wheel. She claimed she did not see the sig- nal given by Mr. Confer with the re- sult that her car crashed headon into the side of the Confer sedan, reduc- ing it to a complete wreck. The Con- fer boy had one ear badly torn and suffered other injuries. Both Mr. and Mrs. Confer were more or less injur- ed and while the baby was not ser- iously hurt a good part of the cloth- ing was torn from it. The front of the Altoona car was also badly dam- aged. Claude Moore and Party Have Narrow Escape in Accident Below » Milesburg. Saturday morning Claude Moore. who lives in Howard, and commutes to his business in the Crosley jewelry store in this place every day, was driving up in his car. With him were Rev. O. F. Moyer, pastor of the Re- formed church of Howard, and Mrs. Gregg Wentzel and her two children. They had reached the point, about a mile and a half below Milesburg, where the road makes two sharp turns in crossing the old canal bed. My. Moore noticed a car approaching at a high rate of speed and fearing that it would hit him on the turn he pulled his own car as far as possible off the road. He went too far and it plunged over the embankment, rolled over three times and landed in the bottoms of the dry canal. He was badly bruised about the legs, Rev. Moyer had his right ear nearly torn off and Mrs. Wentzel and her children escaped without injury. Rev. Moyer was taken to the Centre county hospital where his injuries were dressed, after which he was sent home. Work of Red Cross Nurse During September. If anybody thinks that the position of Red Cross nurse in Bellefonte is an easy one they had better try follow- ing the footsteps of nurse Anna Me- Cauley for just one month and they will then realize what she is called upon to do. During the month of September her work included 9 pre- atal visits, 833 babies under one year of age, 8 pre-school children, 36 school children, 22 sick patients, 17 first visits to schools, 9 re-visits to class rooms, 5 other visits to schools and the partial inspection of 165 other children. Fees collected were $29.59. She put in 80% hours at industrial nursing and the industrial receipts amounted to $73.25. The expenses for the month were $14.52. Miss Barnhart, of the State Health Department, who has charge of the weekly well baby clinic, is encouraged over the fact that during September 11 new babies were registered, 34 re- turned for advice, and Miss Barnhart made 43 visits to homes. ——After several years of fighting snowdrifts in the winter and swelter- ing in summer sunshine Geo.

Interstate Commerce Commission Re- port Says P. R. R. Rates are Unjust and Unreasonable. Under date of October 9th, David T. Copenhaver, an examiner for the Interstate Commerce Commission, submitted his report in the case of the Chemical Lime Co. et al. vs. Belle- fonte Central Railroad, et al., in which he favors the petitioners and recom- mends that new controlling rates be established. The report is quite long and would take up too much space to publish in full, but the salient facts are as follows: ~ Something over a year ago the Chemical Lime company and the Cen- tre Lime company, as well as nineteen business men of State College, appeal- ed to the Interstate Commerce Com- mission for a hearing on what they termed unjust and discriminatory freight rates charged by the Penn- sylvania Railroad company in con- junction with more than a hundred other railroad companies to State Col- lege and points on the Bellefonte Central railroad, claiming that the | flat Bellefonte rate should apply on all shipments, and petitioning the Commission for a ruling and order in the case. A hearing was held in Bellefonte , on October 5th and 6th, 1925, before David T. Copenhaver, examiner for the Commission. The complainants were represented by T. D. Geoghegan, a commerce expert, and Mason Mang- hum, an attorney of Washington, D. C., while the railroad company’s in- terests were looked after by Messers. Carbine and Daley, traffic experts, and Mr. Fletcher, a company attorney. A voluminous amount of testimony was taken—evidence submitted by the Chemical Lime company tending to show that the rates to State College and points on the Bellefonte Central railroad are unjust and unreasonable when compared with other short line rates within the Baltimore circuit, in which Bellefonte is located. The gist of the matter was that the Pennsyl- vania railroad declined to absorb any portion of the shipping charges made by the Bellefonte Central over its line to State College and intervening points, and according to the com- plainants, freight charges from points in West Virginia and the far west were higher to State College than they were to New York and Portland, Maine. The Bellefonte Central Railroad company claimed that it could not lower its shipping charges and be- cause the Pennsylvania company de- clined to absorb any portion of them merchants and business men at State College had car load lots of freight, consigned to Lemont, and were able to truck it to the College cheaper than the Central was able to deliver it. Mr. Copenhaver’s report contained many facts and figures that are too complex for the average mind, but which are perfectly clear to railroad managements, and after quoting de- cisions as authority for the findings in his report he says: “Upon this record the Commission should find that the interstate rates herein assailed have been, are, and for the future will be unjust and unrea- sonable to the extent that they ex- ceeded, exceed or may exceed those contemporaneously applicable on like commodities to Bellefonte; that com- plainants, with the exception of Lynn Woomer, C. E. Snyder and J. D. Nei- digh, made shipments as described and paid and bore the charges there- on and were damaged in the amount of the difference between the charges paid and those which should have ac- crued at the rates herein found rea- sonable. Complainants should comply with Rule V of the Rules of Practice. The statement submitted under Rule V may include shipments made since the hearing, accompanied by appro- priate proof of damage in the form of an affidavit. An appropriate order for the future should be entered.” As will be seen from the above the Chemical Lime and the Centre Lime company, as well as most of the com- plainants at State College are enti- tled to rebates on all shipments made from the date of the hearing, just three days over one year ago; and that an order will be issued fixing rates for the future. ; While Mr. Copenhaver’s report has not yet been passed upon by the In- terstate Commerce Commission, it is highly probable that it will be accept- ed and a general order to that effect issued in the near future. The result will mean cheaper freight shipments to and from State College and points on the Bellefonte Central as well as rebates to all shippers during the past year, Penn State Professor, Tours Europe by Air. To obtain material for writing of a book on “Flying over Europe,” Dr. W. D. Crocket, of the liberal arts faculty at the Pennsylvania State College, last summer made thirty-six airplane trips covering a distance of about 5000 miles while visiting twelve different countries. On one day he breakfasted in Ber- lin, lunched in Amsterdam and dined that evening in London. On the first day of his tour he made five flights over six countries, to Ostend, Amster- dam, Hamburg, Copenhagen and thence to Malmo in southern Swee- den, a distance of 600 miles. He feels that future touring of Europe by Americans will be done largely with the aid of airplanes, and is enthusias- tic over the opportunities offered. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mrs. Miles A.

Mr. Goheen was a frequent visitor to Bellefonte up to the time he withdrew as a director of several organizations that met here quarterly. We presume he retired from them because he thought he was growing old—but he isn’t. True, he is 81, but he looks little more than half of it and evidently feels less than half, for he was as alert as ever and dur- ing the few minutes he had to tarry here discussed the political situation in the State with his usual zest and well inform- ed interest.

Golden Wedding and Birthday Anni- versary Celebration. The John M. Keichline family had a double celebration in the beginning of the week, Monday being the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Keichline and Tuesday being the eightieth birthday anniversary of Mr. Keichline. To see his sprightly walk as he comes down street several times a day not one man in a hundred would take him to be four score, but figures won’t lie. A son of Peter and Sarah Long Keichline he was born at Boals- burg on October 12th, 1846. As a young man he attended the Pine Grove Mills Academy, and the Normal school at Rebersburg, after which he engaged in teaching. His first school was at Tadpole, then the Glades, and last Walnut Grove. He came to Bellefonte about 1872 and read law in the office of Bush & Yo- cum, being admitted to the Centre county bar on December 4th, 1874. He is now the dean of the bar and during his professional career prac- ticed under Judges John H. Orvis, Adam Hoy, A. O. Furst, John G. Love, Ellis L. Orvis, Henry C. Quigley, Arthur C. Dale and Harry Keller. He has been an office holder in Bellefonte for forty-five years, including tax col- lector and justice of the peace, filling the latter office at the present time. On October 11th, 1876, he married Miss Sarah L. Wagner, of Milesburg, and for fifty years they have been es- teemed residents of Bellefonte. The double celebration began on. Sunday with a family dinner which included all the children and grand-children, namely: Dr. John M. Keichline, wife and eight children, of Huntingdon; Miss Daise Keichline, of Galeton; Ed- ward and Miss Anne, at home. Of course many friends called to tender congratulations on Sunday and Mon- day and on Tuesday there was a wind- up celebration for Mr. Keichline’s birthday.
