The big programs of motion pictures shown there are always worth seeing and are not shown anywhere else in Bellefonte. Movie fans who want to Jee good pictures go to the Scenic and it is only the regulars who see them all. : The breaking of an amonia pipe on the refrigeration plant of the Bon Mot, next door to this office, so flooded our shop with gas, yesterday afternoon, that all hands had to leave their work just long enough to make us miss our western mails. In con- sgquence western readers of the Watiehman will know how a trifling axd uncontrollable accident can be the eduse of serious delay in a newspaper office. The fame of the Bellefonte &cademy has become s0 country-wide that its foot-ball team has been in- vited to play in California next Christmas and tentative overtures have been made to Head Master James R. Hughes to take charge of a school that wealthy Californians have sug- gested building for him on the Coast. Should such a project go through it would not affect the Belle- fonte institution. It is Mr. Hughes’ “first love,” and will continue under his direction just the same. ——Wednesday’s steady rain re- sulted in the customary January breakup and a good portion of the snow in the valleys and on the moun- tains turned to water with the result that the streams in the county are all well filled, although so far there has been no real danger of a serious flood. But if all the rain which fell on Wed- nesday had been snow the street com- mittee of Bellefonte would have had am opportunity to try out that two thousand dollar scraper purchased by bercugh council on Monday night. ,——In a talk at Pittsburgh, last week, Dr. Ellen Potter, secretary of public welfare under Governor Pin- chot, and who is a candidate for ve- appointment under the incoming ad- ministration, stated that every peni- tentiary building in Pennsylvania, in- eluding those at Rockview, are obso- lete. Just what kind of mansions Dr. Ellen would like to see for housing the State’s criminals she failed to state, but we do know that many .an honest, hard working man, who is pay- ing taxes to help keep the law viola- tors, are not nearly so well and com- fortably housed as the 669 inmates at Rockview penitentiary, all of whom are assured of three square meals a day and a well-heated, well-ventilated place in which to sleep and pass the time when not at work. BOROUGH COUNCIL BUYS A SNOW SCRAPER. Other Business Transacted at Monday Night’s Meeting. Just six members were present at the regular meeting of borough coun- cil, on Monday evening, the absentees being Mr. Brouse, who was ill at home, and Mr, Badger, away on business. There were no verbal communica- tions and secretary Kelly presented the following six names submitted by the Logan fire company as members avail- able for drivers for the pumper: J. T. Storch, Ellis Hines, G. Max Gamble, Robert M. Garman, Fred Love and Arthur Boob. The secretary also read an applica- tion from Harry Dukeman for the ap- pointment as chief of police for the ensuing year. The report of fire marshall Robert E. Kline for the year 1926 was sub- mitted and read by the secretary, as follows: To the Citizens, Fire and Police Com- mittees, and Borough Council, Sirs: I wish to submit to you the following report of the Fire Department of Bellefonte for the year 1926: During the year the Department respond- ed to sixty (60) alarms (which is quite a coincidence as it was the same number of alarms as in 1925). They were divided in two classes, No. alarms in Borough.................. 49 No. alarms out of Borough............... 11 The alarms in the Borough are divided into two classes: General alarm (both companies respond- ing) Still Alarm IDZYi pe aden vos ianitint oeaiihay ito Dik 13 Of these 49 alarms in the Borough 35 were extinguished by chemicals, 9 were ex- tinguished by water and at 5 of them our services were not required. Although the Department responded to the same number of alarms as in 1925 there really was a decrease in the number in Borough calls, there being four less than last year. The total value of property involved WAS: assesernnreaersreneines.. $372,100.00 Total Amt. of damage was........ 21,030.00 This represents an approximate loss of only 51% per cent of total property involved, a decrease of slightly over 1 per cent. In arriving at the above figures of losses we only consider calls in which we had to actually use either chemicals or water to extinguish. Contents are not included, and does not include out of Borough calls. The Department used over 600 gallons of Chemicals, laid 11,350 feet of hose, and raised 428 feet of ladders. The main factors in keeping the losses down to a minimum are an efficient and prompt Department, and I do not hesitate to state that the efficiency and promptness of Bellefonte’s Fire Department is a thing we can all feel proud of. Where is there a more loyal, efficient, courageous and self sacrificing body of men? There are none, and I feel proud to be their Marshall. Re- gardless of weather condition, day or night, they are always ready to respond to a call for assistance, and their promptness is truly remarkable. Other factors which help keep down losses are the proper use of chemicals, care in useless destruction, and, most important of all, good apparatus and equipment of which we are justly proud. I can assure you the men take a great deal of pride and interest in their appa- ratus, always keeping it spic and span, in good working order and testing it regular- ly. In conclusion I wish to thank the Mem- bers of Council for their loyal supprt of the Department. Wishing the Citizens, Couneil and Mem- bers of the Department a Happy and Pros- perous New Year, I am, : Sincerely yours, : ROBERT E. KLINE, Fire Marshall. Our hose is in excellent condition, there being approximately 1250 feet in the Undine Co. and 1400 feet in Logan Co. making a total of 2630 feet of first class hose in service. The Street committee reported cleaning streets and pavements. The Water committee reported the completion of the water line extension on Reservoir hill, putting in a new fire hydrant at corner of Spring and Howard streets, and the collection of $49.50 on the 1924 water duplicaie; $459.00 on the 1925 and $2491.56 on the 1926, a total of $3000. The Finance committee reported that the borough treasurer has a bal- ance on hand of $5436.38, and also asked for the renewal of notes totaling $9,300, which was authorized. The Fire and Police committee re- ported a fire at the Frank P. Blair property, on Spring street, on January 13th, at which the firemen did splendid work. Edward C. Cooke made his appear- nce at this stage of the proceedings and asked for a rebate on water taxes on his building on Bishop street by reason of the fact that two flats have been unoccupied for about seven months. He was informed that coun- cil recently passed a resolution that no rebate was allowed for less than a vear because of the fact that buildings always have fire protection. Mr. Cunningham reported that bor- ough engineer H. B. Shattuck would make a survey of the Phoenix mill property in the near future and defi- nitely establish the lines of the tract. Mr. Cunningham also reported that have some repairs made to the public building in the shape of paint and papering and he suggested that the council chamber also be freshened up. The matter was referred to the Fire and Police committee with power. The Fire and Police committee rec- ommended the election of the follow- ing men as drivers for the two pump- ers: The Logans—J. T. Storch, Ellis Hines, Robert Garman and Arthur Boob. The Undines—Walter V. Smith, Basil Doll, Charles Saxion and the Logan fire company would like to Ralph Moerschbacher. All were elect- GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY ed. The committee also recommended the re-election of Robert E. Kline as | fire marshall. There being no other names presented he was elected. Regarding the application of Harry Dukeman for election as chief of po- IS NIPPED IN BUD. mn Man Who Planned Escape Given Long Term in Penitentiary. A proposed jail delivery planned for lice for the ensuing year the Fire and (the Centre county jail, on Sunday : es | afternoon, was nipped in the bud by Police committee reported that when | sheriff E. R. “Taylor, who confronted the police were elected a year ago it was for as long as their services proved satisfactory and it was not deemed necessary to re-elect again this year. On motion the president of council, Mr. John S. Walker, Mr. Reynolds, burgess Hard P. Harris and the borough solicitor were designated as delegates to attend the annual con- vention of the Association of Boroughs to be held in Harrisburg on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week It was at this juncture that Charles F. Beatty made his appearance and stated to council that upon the recom- mendation of most of the members of council who had witnessed a demon- stration given by him some weeks ago of a snow scraper he had gone ahead and ordered one. He now had it on hand and desired to know if council was going to take it. Mr. Emerick, who was the only member of the Street committee present, stated that at the time of the demonstration every member of council who witnessed it gave Mr. Beatty assurance that they would favor purchasing a scraper and authorized him to order one. Mr. Cun- ningham stated that in justice to him- self he wanted to say that he had not joined in the authorization, but that he had said if the Street committee would come before council with a rec- ommendation that a scraper be pur- chased he would not oppose it. Presi- dent Walker asked what the scraper would cost and was told a little more than two thousand dollars. He then stated that he had heard the proposi- tion discussed by a number of proper- ty owners who were opposed to the scraper because it would pile the snow along the sides of the streets and in the gutters, and he suggested holding the matter over until a full meeting of council was present. Mr. Emerick stated that he would be away during the next two meetings of council and favored settling the matter at once. He further stated that the entire Street committee was in favor of he purchase and he then made a motion that the scraper be bought. The mo- tion was seconded by Mr. Reynolds. It was put to a vote and carried by a majority of those present. Bills approximating $2,300 were ap- proved for payment after which coun- cil adjourned. Don’t Miss This. All next week the ladies of Cen- tre county, and the men as well, will have an opportunity of learning how to fashion many new and novel things from crepe paper. As announced elsewhere in this paper Mr. H. E. Clevenstine, proprie- tor of the City bakery, on south Alle- gheny street, has secured Miss B. C. Anderson, art demonstrator for the Dennison Paper Co., of Philadelphia, to spend all of next week in his store teaching any who cares to learn the knack of getting many useful and ornamental results out of crepe paper. Miss Anderson is here now instruct- ing a few assistants and next Monday afternoon will welcome you at the City bakery. Every afternoon and evening during the week she will con- tinue the demonstration. Practical articles such as lamp shades, hats, caps and dresses can be made from crepe paper when you know how. And there are so many unique and pleasing decorative designs for church sociables, parties, picnics and other social functions that can be made from it that you should not fail to take advantage of the free oppor- tunity to learn how that the City bakery will extend to you next week. There will be no charge and the in- vitation is extended to every body to call any afternoon ¢r evening next week. Alleged Murderer Removed from Jail to Hospital. George Kosut, alleged murderer of Peter Jeiz, in a drinking bout near Philipsbug on New Year's day, was removed from the Centre county jail, on Saturday morning, and taken to the Centre County hospital by order of the court for treatment for a badly infected thumb. It will be recalled from the article published in the Watchman two weeks ago that in the altercation between Kosut and Jeiz ‘the latter bit Kosut’s thumb, which was the latter's excuse for hitting him on the head with an axe inflicting an injury which caused his death. Since his arrest and incarceration in the Centre county jail Kosut’s thumb has become badly infected and his arm considerably swollen, and in order that he might have the proper treatment Judge Keller, on Saturday, made an order transfering him to the hospital where he will be a patient at the ex- pense of the county, and under con- stant guard by men selected for that purpose by the sheriff, until such time as his thumb heals to that extent that he can be returned to jail. It is understood that Kosut is willing to plead guilty to- voluntary man- slaughter, and his plea will likely be accepted when he is able to appear in court. ——————— lp ———_ For Rent.—Two one car garages near the station. Inquire at this office. the ringleader, Oscar Lucas, on Satur- day evening, with facts in his posses- sion and the latter finally owned up and confessed the plot. Ever since Lucas’ arrest in Decem- ber on the charge of robbing two taxi drivers he has been kept locked up in a cell by himself, only being given the run of the jail corridors on Sunday afternoons for exercise. Last week the sheriff learned through under- ground channels in the jail that a plot had been hatched by Lucas to pull off a general jail delivery on Sunday afternoon, so taking time by the fore- lock he went to Lucas’ cell on Satur- day evening and accused him of the conspiracy. The latter at first denied the accusation but after the sheriff convinced him that he knew what he was talking about he broke down and confessed. According to Lucas’ statement the delivery was to have been pulled off late Sunday afternoon when the sher- iff went into the jail to lock him in : He had planned to hit the | his cell. sheriff on the head with a cake of soap in the toe of a stocking, hoping to knock him out with the first blow. Then he was to take the keys, release any other prisoners who wanted to £20 along and make a getaway. The soap and the stocking were found in Lucas’ possession and were confiscated by the sheriff. Lucas also told the sheriff that most of the money he had stolen in his taxi holdups and in the robbery of the Pot- ter-Hoy hardware store he had left at home. The total amount stolen was $117.50. Out of this he had spent about $20, having bought a pair of galoshas for his sweetheart, a pair of shoes and galoshas for himself as well as neckties, etc. On Sunday morning the sherff went to the home of Lucas’ mother and demanded the money but she denied having it. Later, however, a sister of Lucas went to the jail and turned over $60 which she claimed to have found hidden behind a picture at home. The sheriff, however, is not satisfied with that amount and insists that all the money must be returned. Lucas was brought into court at eleven o’clock yesterday morning and plead guilty to five indictments, plot- ting an attempt to break jail Janu- ary 16th, robbing the Potter-Hoy hard-ware store on December 6th, holding up and robbing Harry K. Re- sides, of State College, on December 12th, robbing the Whiterock Quarries office on December 8th and holding up and robbing Salvatore Morasco, of Lock Haven, on December 11th. Lucas had been paroled from the county jail on November 10th after serving a por- tion of a year’s sentence for larceny. In pronouncing sentence Judge Kel- ler told the young man that he could send him to the penitentiary for a maximum of sixty-eight years but would sentence him on only one in- dictment, that of holding up and rob- bing Harry K. Resides. On that he sentenced bim to pay the costs of prosecution, pay a fine of one thous- and dollars and imprisonment in the western penitentiary for not less than ten nor more than twenty years. On the other four indictments sentence was sespended pending the man’s be- havior after he is released from the penitentiary. Operating Force to be Reduced at Bellefonte Aviation Feld. Now that the Bellefonte aviation field has been reduced in rank to a semi-terminal the Postoffice Depart- ment has ordered a reduction in the operating force effective February first. The men whose services will be dispensed with at that time are John Woods, David Newcomer, Wil- liam Smith and Arthur Trushinski. This will leave six men in charge, and there is hardly likely to be any fur- ther reductions as leng as the govern- ment operates the air mail, which will be until July Ist. The awarding of contracts for the carrying of the airmail will take place in the near future, and of course it is impossible to predict what may event- ually happen te the Bellefonte field when the planes are operated by a contractor. Since the high power planes have been put in use, and Belle- fonte cut off of the mail schedule, no regular stops are scheduled for Beile- fonte, but even so about sixty per cent. of the planes do stop here for oil and gas, especially the west-bound. Last Saturday afternoon pilot Wil- liam Hill, eastbound from Cleveland, was forced down in a blinding snow storm at Aristas, near Ashland, be- cause of a low gas supply, and though he escaped serious injury his plane was completely wrecked. When he passed over Bellefonte employees at the aviation field sent up two flares warning him to come down because of the storm in the eastern part of the State but he evidently failed to see the signal. They also had Sunbury send up two flares but he missed those also, and continuing on his journey was finally forced down at Aristas be- cause his motor went dead. —————————l——————— ——Capt. C. T.

Held on Tueday. The annual meeting of the stock- holders of the Bellefonte Trust com- pany was held on Tuesday. The pres- ent members of the board of directors were re-elected, namely: Col. J. L. Spangler, A. C. Mingle, A. R. MecNitt, C. Y. Wagner, J. L. Seibert, W. J. Emerick, F. L. Wetzler, L. H. Me- Mullen and N. E. Robb. The board of directors organized by electing Col. J. L. Spangler, president; A. C. Mingle, vice president; N. E. Robb, secretary, treasurer and trust officer; Earl S, Orr, assistant secre- tary and treasurer, and Helen R. Wil- liams, assistant treasurer, The report of the auditors for the year ending December 31, 1926, was read by M. L. Altenderfer and unani- mously approved. A special report of the board of di- rectors was read by N. E. Robb, treas- urer. This report was read at this time to show what has been accomplished, under the present management, since January 1, 1919, to January 1, 1927. In the past eight years very gratify- Ing and substantial gains have been made in every department. The busi- ness has increased steadily by reason of the hearty co-operation of its depositors, stockholders, officers and employees. The trust department shows a rapid growth. It is evident that individuals are making their wills and naming the Bellefonte Trust company their executors to settle their estates. The individual executor, administrator, guardian, ete., is rapidly being re- placed by trust companies. The savings department also shows a marked increase, which is an indi- cation that the people of this com- munity are a thrifty, conservative class of citizens.
