A Suggestion to Mr. Walker and the
Receivers of the Centre County
Bank.
Since the latest start at more liti-
gation in the Centre County Bank case
it appears to us that it is opportune
to make another suggestion. We have !
made many since the beginning of the
muddled affair. Any one of them, if
it had been acted on, would have re-
sulted in speedy and economical ad-
justment of the difficulties. Not one of
them was accepted. That, however,
doesn’t phase us and we are herewith
gratuitously offering another.
Starting litigation in this case is a
good bit like the late Dr. Hibler’s door
knob venture. The porcelain knob on
his front door was chipped so that it
looked unsightly. When he went to
replace it he found that the fixture
was such an odd style that he had to
buy an entire new lock. There were
none to be had for front doors except
rather ornate ones so the Doctor got
one of that kind. Then he discovered
that to get it fitted to the old fashion-
ed door and frame a carpenter had to
do a lot of cutting so that old mortises
could be closed up. When the lock was
finally in place the front door looked
worse than it had with the chipped
knob, for sticking out like sore thumbs
were the inserts of new wood all
around the lock. To obliterate that
eye sore he had the front door painted
and that made the rest of the house
look so shabby that he had to paint
the whole structure.
We have no brief to defend either
the trustee of Mrs. Harris’ estate or
the receivers of the banking conpany.
We are not learned in the law, so
know nothing of the legal intricacies
involved in their dispute as to who
shall distribute the assets to the credi-
tors. We have a modicum of common
sense and that” motivates us to make
the following suggestion:
Messrs. Ginter, Steely and Dale, re-
ceivers for the bank, might offer to
make the distribution of the funds in
Mr. Walker's hands without charge.
We understand that they are about
ready to make a small distribution
anyway so that adding the funds in
question to the amount they have in
hand would involve no more labor than
writing checks for a larger amount.
And it would save to the creditors the
cost of and annoyance of having to
prove claims twice in order to receive
payment on one account.
CENTRE HALL HAD
DISASTROUS FIRE.
Hosterman’s Garage Burned with a
Loss of $16,000.
The Walter Hosterman garage, at
Centre Hall, was almost completely
with all its contents, entailing a loss
of from $16,000 to $17,000. How the
fire originated is not known. Mr.
Hosterman did not keep his garage
open on Sundays and about 5:30
o’clock in the evening he went into it
to fix the fire in the store. He put on
fresh coal and fixed the stove door as
he always has in the past. So far as
known he was the last person in the
building and it was shortly after mid-
night when the fire was discovered.
By the time Mr. Hosterman reached
the garage the flames had spread
through the entire interior so that it
was impossible to save anything of
consequence or even guess where the
fire started. The front portion of the
building was of frame construction
and quite old, so that it burhed rapidly
and quickly fell prey to the flames.
An appeal for help was sent to the
Bellefonte fire department but the call
was cancelled later as it was impos-
sible to save the building and the Cen-
tre Hall firemen with their hose were
able to keep the flames from spread-
ing beyond the confines of the garage.
Two new cars belonging to Mr.
Hosterman, a Dodge and a Nash, were
burned and his service truck almost
completely ruined. A Dodge touring
car and a Dodge coupe belonging to
Lyman Smith were burned and also a
car belonging to Miss Eckroyd, of
Tusseyville, a Studebaker car belong-
ing to a resident of Pittsburgh which
has been there on storage for a month
or more, and two second hand cars.
Mr. Hosterman estimates his loss at
from $16,000 to $17,000 after making
a fairly accurate inventory. He car-
ries some insurance but not sufficient
to cover his loss. The garage will be
rebuilt.
Two Bellefonte Boys to Become Co-
partners of Paul Whiteman.
Jazz music and good food will in-
termingle ‘in a new venture to be
launched in New York city, the lat-
ter part of February, when Paul
Whiteman, the jazz wizard, and Ed-
mund G. and Manny Joseph will open
the Whiteman club, a legitmate, non-
selling, popular-priced restaurant cat-
ering to mass turnover in preference
to exclusiveness. The new club will
be located on Broadway and 48th
street, on the site now known as the
Trianon ballrcom, formerly Rector’s.
Whiteman will give a full White-
man orchestral ensemble of thirty-
three men at a $2.50 dinner and $2
cover after theatre.
It will be Whiteman’s first appearance
on Broadway in three years. The Tri-
anon will be completely renovated and
will start functioning simultaneously
with Whiteman’s opening in the Dill-
ingham revue starring him.
The Trianon is controlled by Ed-
mund Joseph, a New York attorney,
and his brother, Manny Joseph, known
on Broadway in association with Rob-
(ert M. Langdon. The Josephs and

courts for years before it would finally
wind up in the Supreme court again
with bills for fees, costs, mileage,
paper books, ete. left in the wake for
the creditors to pay. It can easily
become another Dr. Hibler door knob.
The only justifiable reason for Mr.
Walker's refusal to turn the funds
over to the regular receivers would be
a desire to save a double percentage
on them.
* The receivers are justified in their
demand for the funds by the belief
that they are legally responsible to
the creditors for them and should,
therefor, make the distribution.
We have suggested a way out of the
difficulty without loss to Mr. Walker
or much extra work to the receivers.
Will they try to get together on it.

. Mr. Smith to Retire from Bellefonte
Lumber Co.
After many years in the active
management of the Bellefonte Lumber
company, Mr. J. P. Smith has decided
to retire. He and Mr. George H. Yar-
nell, who also resigns his position,
have been largely responsible for the
business enjoyed by the company dur-
ing the past few years, and the man-
agement will no doubt feel the loss of
the two men who have shown an effici-
ency and interest in their work. Their
{esighation takes effect on February

| Presbyterian Church, at Snow Shoe,
Destroyed by Fire.
Catching fire from an overheated
chimney the Presbyterian church, at
Snow Shoe, burned to the ground
about ten o’clock on Sunday morning.
The church was a frame edifice and
was originally built about 1868. It was
generally overhauled and remodeled,
however, about three years ago and
was in splendid condition. The loss is
only partially covered by insurance.

——WD tower, about a mile east
of Howard, on the Bald Eagle Valley
railroad, was totally destroyed by fire
last Friday night. It was a two story
structure and at the time of the fire
operator Holter was busy in the tower
room on the second floor. The first
knowledge he had of iit was when
he noticed the floor under his feet
being very hot. He investigated and
found the lower room a mass of
flames. An outside stairway led to
the second floor and setting his
switches he gave a call for help and
made his escape just as the flames
broke through. The tower will be re-
built.

Lock Haven Man Dies from Injuries
in Auto Accident.
Raoul J. Moquin, one of the four
people injured in an auto accident nea
Hublersburg, on Monday night of last
week, died in the Teah private hos-
pital, at Lock Haven, early last Thurs-
day morning. In the accident Mr.
Moquin sustained severe cuts and lac-
erations on the head and face but his
injuries were not considered serious.
He was apparently getting along all
he suffered a collapse and all efforts
to revive his fast failing strength
proved fruitless.
Mr. Moquin, who was a native of
New York State, was comparatively
2 young man. During the world war '
I
in France and it was while in that
country he met and married Miss |
{ Maude Albright, a Red Cross nurse. |
On returning to this country Mr. and ;
Mrs. Moquin spent a brief time in |
Montreal, Canada, then several years !
in New York and finally located in
Lock Haven. Mrs. Moquin is a niece
associated with Mr. Satterlee in the
insurance business and was quite sue-
cessful. He was a member of the
American Legion, of that city, and
had only recently been elected secre-
tary of the Kiwanis club. He is sur-
vived by his wife, but no children; al-
so his parents, living in New York
State. Burial was made on Satui-
day morning.

Coal Operators Must Quit Polluting |
Cold Stream.
On petition of the Penn Public Serv-
ice Corporation, of Philipsburg, Judge
Harry Keller, last week, granted a
permanent injunction restraining Ath-
erton & Barnes and other coal com-
panies in the Philipsburg region from
emptying their mine drainage into the
water of Cold stream. Back in 1919
the late Henry C Quigley, then judge
of Centre county, granted a similar
injunction but it evidently proved “but
a scrap of paper” on record at the
court house, as it didn’t result in keep-
ing the sulphur water from draining
into the stream. It was because of
this fact that a new petition was pre-
sented. A hearing on the petition was
held in December which led to judge
Keller’s granting a permanent injunec-
tion.
Bellefonte High Cage Boys Drop Two
Games.
The trip over the mountain proved
a disastrous one for the Bellefonte
High school cage boys last week, as
they lost their game with Houtzdale,
on Friday evening, by the score of 33
to 23 and were defeated at Philips-
burg, on Saturday evening, by the
score of 46 to 31. But they are neither
downcast nor disheartened and hope
to recover their standing before the
season is far advanced. Philipsburg
leads the league with Bellefonte fifth
in the race. This (Friday) evening
Bellefonte will play Mr. Union on the
home floor and all lovers of the game
should be on hand early.

——Rev. F. W. Brown, at one time
pastor of the Aaronsburg Reformed
charge, died at his home in Lewisburg
Kiwanis Hears Tree Culture Talk.
The weekly luncheon of Kiwanis
was held at the Brockerhoff hotel on
Tuesday at 6 p. m. and a successful
one it was. The change of hour was
made to accommodate the Bellefonte
Trust Company Directors and stock-
holders who desired to hold a dinner
party at the same hotel at the regu-
lar noon hour.
The attendance was not quite as
large as usual owing to the fact that
several Kiwanians went to Harrisburg
to attend the inauguration of Gov-
ernor John S. Fisher. Prayer was
offered by Kiwanian Arnold, pastor of
the Lutheran church. During the en-
joyment of the eats, secretary John B.
Payne read the resolutions for the
second time, recommended by the
board of directors, relating to the
amount of the annual dues and the
meal tickets which must be purchased
for every meal. The music was in-
spiring as usual and Miss Freda
Edmondson made a most satisfactory
Miss Bernice Crouse,
the regular pianist. A beautiful letter
was received by Arthur Sloop from
Mr. Satterlee, of Lock Haven,
acknowledging the receipt of the
club’s letter of sympathy to the
Moquin family and the Lock Hawen
Club for the sad and untimely death
of N. J. Moquin, the secretary of the
Lock Haven Kiwanis.
Guests of the evening were an-
nounced as follows: Mr. Vaugh,
Pittsburgh; Mr. Charles Schwab,
Bradford; Mr. R. R. Davison, Belle-
fonte, and Mr. Henry Hartling, State
' College.
President Harrison Walker gave an
interesting account of the suggestions
made at the Pittsburgh meeting of
officers for the good of all Kiwanis
clubs. He stressed the worthy sug-
gestion that Kiwanians pay special
attention to young boys who are in-
clining toward foolish and unlawful
acts of life that they may give them
the encouraging word and the hand
of uplift that will cause them to face
about and become good and useful
citizens in their respective communi-
ties. He then introduced Mr. J. D.
Hunt, of State College, who gave an
interesting and instructive talk on tree
surgery, emphasizing the methods
employed and the significance in pre-
serving the life of our trees and there-
by beautifying our towns.
President Walker announced a new
committee to be called the vocation
and placement committee. He also
announced that ladies’ night would
take place next Tuesday at 6.15.
After the saluting of the flag the
meeting was concluded.

JOHN 8S. FISHER IS NOW

Thousands Flock to Harrisburg to See:
Inauguration and Parade.
In the neighborhood of four hundred’

counties, members of the Harry B.
Scott club and others, went to Har-
risburg, on Tuesday, to witness the in-
auguration of John S. Fisher, as Gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania. The delega-
tion occupied a position in about the
middle of the parade and were led b
the Girls’ band of Morrisdale, whic
drew rounds of applause along the line
of march.
The day’s events began at 11 o'clock:
when Lientenant Governor Arthur H.
James was sworn into office. It was
just 12 o'clock when the oath was
administered to Governor Fisher by
Supreme court justice Robert Von
Moschisker. Immediately afterwards
Governor Fisher read his inaugural
address, which was one of the briefest
ever delivered by any Governor of
Pennsylvania. Chief among his rec-
ommendations were the following:
Enactment of more stringent meas-
ures for the safety of the highways
and the protection of the people.
Such relief for capital investment in
state-owned institutions as the public
means will afford.
Expansion of the Department of
Mines into two bureaus with separate
jurisdiction over the anthracite and
bituminous fields.
Readjustment of the Workmen's
Compensation law.
Strengthening of the insurance de-
partment.
Enactment of constitutional amend-
ments to perfect the present state
budget system.
He commended as a careful study
the safeguarding of building and loan
and insurance investments.
The Governor said the Public Ser-
vice Commission should be organized,
sustained and equipped to carry out
its functions of assuring to the people’
adequate service at reasonable rates.
At the conclusion of his address the
Governor was driven over the route
of the parade and then to the review-
ing stand, where he stood for more
than an hour bowing in recognition to
the thousands from all over the State
who marched in his honor. The parade
was said to have been one of the big-
gest and most spectacular ever seen at
an inauguration in Harrisburg.
In the afternoon the Governor sent
to the Senate the names of his cabinet
officials, all of whom were promptly
confirmed, and a short time later were
given their duly inscribed commissions
and at once took charge of their var-
ious offices.
The retiring Governor, Gifford
Pinchot, with Mrs. Pinchot, left for
Washington early in the afternoon,
immediately after the inaugural cere-
monies.
