William E. Sage Released from Rock-
view Last Friday.
On recommendation of the board of
pardons William E. Sage was released
from Rockview penitentiary, last Fri-
day morning, after completing his
minimum sentence of three years for
shooting James N. McNair, a fellow
employee in the ticket office of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Pittsburgh.
The shooting took place on June
6th, 1913, and was the culmination of
a quarrel in which Sage charged
McNair for being instrumental in pre-
venting his promotion. The men got
into an argument and Sage became
so wrought up that he pulled a revolver
from his pocket and shot and killed
McNair. The shooting occurred in
broad daylight but Sage got out of
the station and disappeared so quickly
and completely that it was believed
he had been drowned.
As it happened, however, he had
gone to California where he was later
joined by his family and for ten years
lived at Bakerfield where he worked
for the Southern Pacific railroad.
Then one day he and his wife quarrel-
ed and the latter informed the police
that her husband was wanted in Penn-
sylvania for murder. This led to his
arrest and extradition to this State.
Six years ago he was tried at Pitts-
burgh and convicted of murder in the
second degree. The sitting judge sen-
tenced him to imprisonment in the
western penitentiary for not less than
three nor more than six years. Two
‘years were spent in the institution at
Pittsburgh and the past year at Rock-
view where he was a clerk in the big
cannery.
Sage was a model prisoner in every
way and thus won his release on the
expiration of his minimum sentence.
When discharged on Friday morning
he was brought to Bellefonte by auto- ‘Philipsburg and that had been his |
mobile and at the station purchased a
ticket for Pittsburgh. He also went
to the telegraph office and received a
telegram of congratulation from the {held until 1922 when he was appoint- |
office force of the Southern Pacific
railroad at Bakerfield, Cal.
Before leaving Rockview Sage told
the deputy warden that he intended
going to California as soon as possible
to his family of nine children, the
youngest of whom is ten years old. He | Per of the Independent Order of Red
{ Men, the Modern Woodmen and the |
has had offers of several good posi-
tions and seemed most inclined to ac-
cept one in the middle west. Accord-
ing to the deputy warden Sage has
been frugal and saved his money, and
as he expresed it, had a nice bank ac-
count. Enough to take him to Cal-
ifornia and keep him several months,
or until he can become located.
As stated above Sage purchased a
ticket for Pittsburgh at the Bellefonte
station and a delegation of his former
employees gathered at the station to
greet him, but he must have disem-
barked at an outlying station as he
did not get off the train in Pittsburgh.
Raymond G. Bressler Appointed Depu-
ty Secretary of Agriculture.
Raymond G. Bressler, who the past
nine years has been vice dean in the
school of agriculture of State College,
was last Friday appointed deputy
secretary of agriculture under Dr.
Charles G. Jordan. Mr. Bressler, who
originally was a candidate for Sec-
retary of Agriculture in Governor
Fisher’s ‘cabinet, and only failed in
getting the appointment because of
the naming of Charles E. Dorworth
as Secretary of Forests and Waters,
is a rative of Dauphin county, having
been born at Halifax. At one time
he was director of physical education
at Wofford College, in North Carolina,
then went to Texas where he spent
several years in agricultural extension
work. He came to State College in
1918 and has been in charge ‘of in-
struction work in the school of agri-
culture. Mr. Bressler lives on a farm
near Lemont and is a practical as well
as theoretical farmer.

County Must Maintain Abandoned
Road.
Judge Harry Keller handed down an
opinion yesterday in the case of the
road supervisors of Taylor township
against the county commissioners, a
peremptory mandamus proceeding to
compl the county to maintain the old
Bald Eagle turnpike across the moun-
tain from Bald Eagle to Philipsburg,
in which he found for the supervisors
and ordered the county commissioners
to maintain the road.
The road in question was the one in
continuous use between upper Baid
Eagle valley and points on the other
side of the mountain, and which was
taken over by the State several years
ago as a portion of Highway route
No. 37. When the State built the
concrete road over the mountain the
old road was discarded and a new
{ route chosen, the latter being quite a
distance away from the old one.
Naturally people living along the
old road demanded that it be kept up
for their convenience. The supervis-
ors of Rush township kept up their
Taylor township took out a mandamus
to compel the county to maintain the
portion of the road in that township.
i There was no precedent case to go by,
‘but after reviewing the case pretty
thoroughly Judge Keller threw thie
burden upon the county. Whether tie
county commissioners will accépt his
| decision or appeal the case reinains to
i be seen.

Mrs. Alexander G. Morris was hos-
tess Friday evening for the bridge
club of which she is a member.
The dinner guests entertained by
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey Saturday
evening, in celebration of Mr. Shuey’s
seventieth birthday, included, Mr. and
Mrs. W. T. Twitmire, Mr. and Mrs.

——Sheriff E. R. Taylor left on
Wednesday afternoon for Albany, N.
Y., to appear before Governor Al
tradition papers for a woman, Mrs.
Minor Cleveland, under arrest at El-
mira, N. Y., and wanted in Bellefonte
on two charges, skipping a board bill
and taking an unpaid for car out of
the State. Mrs. Cleveland is one of
four people who made several sojourns
at the Garman house, Bellefonte, and
finally departed without paying their
bill and also taking with them a car
which had not been paid for in full.
The woman was finally located in El-
mira, N. Y.,, and placed under arrest
but to bring her back to Pennsylvania
it was necessary to secure extradition
papers and that was the purpose of
the sheriff’s trip to Albany. Mr. Bart-
ley also left last night for Elmira for
the purpose of identifying the woman.
Residents of Spring street,
Bellefonte, are anxiously waiting to
see how Mr. H. S. Moore intends im-
proving the old Longwell property
which he purchased at public sale last
fall. It is understood that an archi-
tect is working on several plans and
when they are completed it is likely
Mr. Moore will select the one which
most appeals to him.

State Employees to ba Quizzed About
Their Job.
Ever since the inauguration of Gov-
ernor Fisher employees of the State,
and there are quite a number of them
in Centre county, have naturally been
more or less on the anxious bench lest
they lose their jobs in the big politi-
cal upheaval foreshadowed from Har-
risburg. Every man who is now on
the State payroll, no matter how men-
ial the job, went there with the brand
of Pinchot, and every indication that
has come out from the State capital
since the Fisherites are in control
points to the fact that the State is to
be purged of Pinchotism. Whether
this means that every man now on
the pay roll will be supplanted by
Fisher favorites is not known, but it
is a fact that a questionnaire is being
sent out to all employees in every
county in the State, and woe be it to
the man who can’t answer the ques-
tions satisfactorily. The questionnaire
contains a list of nineteen questions,
which are as follows:
1. What is your mame?
2. Give date of your first appointment.
3. Has your employment in this depart-
meat been continuous?
+. Location of your legal (voting) resi-
dence.
5. Location of the office in which or from
which you are employed.
6. What were your duties when first em-
ployed? Be specific.
7. What was your salary at that time?
8. What are your present designated
duties? Be specifie.
9. What are the actual duties which you
are performing at this time?
.. 10. Where are your duties now perform-
ed?
11. What is your present salary?
12. Give amount and date of inerease or
decrease.
13. How many hours a day are you en-
gaged in the service of the department?
14. How many days a week have you
been engaged in performing the service
for which you have received the above
mentioned salary?
15. Have you, during your connection
with this department, received any com-
pensation, either in fees, salary or ex-
penses from the State, or any sub-division
thereof, other than the salary stated?
16. If so, give amount received, weekly
or monthly, name of employer, character
of service performed.
17. Upon whose recommendation were
vou originally appointed?
18, Who is your present sponsor?
19. Give referenée as to yoiir character,
ability and political status in your homs
county. ; ; . iL :

Legislators Want More Stringent
Game Laws.
_ Centre county sportsmen will be in-
terested in all kinds of legislation pro-
posed or enacted at the present ses-
sion of the Legislature which affects
the game laws. It is a well known
fact that at every session one or moie
members feel the urge to have laws
phssed which make it more exacting
for the man behind the gun. The
present game laws restrict the open
‘séason for hunting to a comparatively
‘limited time, and the amount of game
{that may be killed by individual hunt- |
‘ers also to a limited number, but Sen- |
ator North, of Tioga county, wants
still further restrictions.
While favoring an open season for
x
of squirrel, he wants the season re-
duced from November 1 to 30 to No-
vember 10 to 30, with the exception
of red squirrel, on which he asks an
open season from November 10 to
August 15 next following. Rabbit
season he would limit to November
10 to December 15, instead of Novem-
ber 1 to December 15. Bear and deer
seasons are not to be changed. He
would also limit the number to be kill-
ed. Ringneck pheasants, one a day
and four a season; quail, four a day
and twenty a season and rabbits, four
a day and twenty a season, instead of
five a day and thirty-five a season.
Senator Salus, of Philadelphia, has
also introduced a bill prohibiting the
arms without the taking out of a li- |
cense, and the license to be good for
only one year. Should this bill be
enacted into a law every hunter would
have to take out a license for his gun
as well as a license to hunt.
Two Centre County Cases Before the
Supreme Court.
Several Bellefonte attorneys ap-
peared before the Supreme court, sit-
ting in Philadelphia this week, and
presented argument in two cases. One
was an appeal by the First National
Bank, of Spring Mills, in the case of
S. G. Walker vs. the First National
Bank, an action brought in the Centre
county court to show cause why a note
and judgment executed by Mr. Walker
in favor of the bank should not be
stricken off and satisfied of record.
The case grows out of the act of omne
W. C. McFeaters, a bond salesman, in
withdrawing $5,000 worth of Liberty
bonds from the bank several years
ago, while Mr. Walker was cashier,
without making payment for same or
putting up any collateral. When the
case was tried in the Centre county
court the jury returned a verdict in
The other case is an appeal of the
defendants in the case of Charles H.
Watson vs. The Kelley Bros. Coal com-
pany, an action to recover alleged
royalties due the plaintiff, with inter-
est. The case was tried before Judge
Miles I. Potter, in the Centre county
court, and resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $5,709.49, from
which the defendants appealed.
Bellefonte High Wiis Again.
Bellefonte High school continued its
drive for another Mountain League
pennant, last Friday evening, at Ty-
rone. The victim was Tyrone High,
and though the score was only 18-16
the main line boys knew that they
were up against a real team. The
game was replete with thrills through-
out the entire forty minutes of play,
and it required an extra five minute
period to determine the final outcome.
The Centre county lads did their
stuff, so to speak, while coach Jay
Riden sat back and watched them dis-
play the clever basketball he had
taught them. From Captain Furey
down to the last substitute the Red
and White basketeers looked like
championship timber. Tyrone was
kept in the running by the grace of
fouls called on Bellefonte. Referee
Davis decreed that the representatives
from Centre county had fallen from
grace about nineteen times. The Blair
county entries were apparently on
good behavior for they offended only
five times.
Winning the above game puts Belle-
fonte in the running, making four
games won to two lost. This (Friday)
evening Bellefonte will play Holli-
daysburg on the local Y floor and
every effort will again be put forth to
win this game.
The girls team journeyed to State
College, last Friday evening, and de-
feated the girls of the High school
there by the score of 16 to 13.

Mysterious Stabbing Affray
Rebersburg.
at
Yesterday’s Millheim Journal says,
that on Tuesday night of last week
an unidentified man was stabbed in a
brawl that occurred in the Rebersburg
hotel. Much secrecy shrouds the affair
and so far as could be learned, no
police investigation has been made.
Five men and a woman are reported
to have been the principals. One of
the men was stabbed twice, once in
the small of the back and again on the
left shoulder blade. The trouble is
alleged to have started over the

| Not Much of a Mea:
for Real Hungry Man
Uncle Lije Waters was accustomed !
to seeing good-sized squares of sponge
cake or gingerbread on the upper
table, and when he had his first plate
of ice cream in a city cafe, he looked
with some disfavor on the macaroons
and small sponge drops which accop |
panied it.
“How do you like it?’ asked the
niece, who was doing the honors of
the city for her uncle.
“The ice cream is certainly first
rate,” said Uncle Lije. “I call it
extra good; but when you come to
these things, he added, lifting one
of the lady fingers and surveying it
doubtfully, “I presume to say they're
right enough, what there is of ’em, but
there isn’t enough of 'em—just nothing
but gape and swallow.”
Craze Followed Hysteria
A classic example of what popular
imagination applied to the common
spider can do is told in Hygeia Maga-
zine. Italy in the Middle ages was
swept by a dancing mania or tarap#
ism.
Persons bitten by a spider called the
European tarantula suddenly became
extremely sensitive to musie, dancing
in a frenzy of excitement until they
sank to the ground, exhausted and al-
most lifeless. Certain forms of mu-
sic were considered good for the af-
flicted and bore the name trantella. |
The cause was not a spider’s bite but
a hysteria due to the depleted men-
tal and physical condition of the peo-
ple as a result of the frequent wars
and plagues. The same sort of thing
was seen in the craze for long-distance
dancing in this country a few wears
after the World war.
Abbey Is Battle Pledge
Battle abbey, near Hastings, Eng-
iand, was built to fulfill :a mnovel
pledge made by William the 'Con-
queror just before his victory ‘there on.
Qctober 14, 1066.
When William was arming for the.
dght he is said to have inadvertently
put on his shirt of mall with ithe hind
side in front. Partly in order to avert
the bad omen, he vowed ‘that, ‘if vie-
torious, he would build on the very:
site of the battle a great abbey.
It was finally dedicated by William
Aufus in 1094. At the dissolution of"
the monasteries under Henry ‘VIII, the-
buildings were given 'to Sir Anthony
Browne, who added to the Abbot's:
lodge a west wing for the use of his
ward, the Princess Elizabeth. The ab-
bey still is in excellent preservation,

Pipe Organ to be Dedicated.
A new Moller pipe organ, with
chimes, has been installed in the Zion
Lutheran church, at Boalsburg, and
the same will be dedicated with fitting
ceremonies on Sunday, February 13th,
with two services, at 10:30 o’clock in
the morning and 7.30 in the evening.
Rev. John Wagner, of Hazleton, presi-
dent of the Susquehanna Synod, of the
Lutheran church, will preach both
morning and evening.
The organ was manufactured at the
M. P. Moller factory, at Hagerstown,
Md., and with the chimes cost $3,500.
The chimes, however, are the gift of
Mrs. Wallace White, in memory of her
mother, Mrs. Felding. To date a fund
of $2000 has been raised toward pay-
ment of the organ leaving a balance of”
$1000, which it is hoped can be raised
at the dedicatory services.
On the Saturday evening prior to:
the dedication a recital will be given
by Miss Helen Lackenmeyer, of State
College, assistant musical director.
The public is invited.

brakes every day after taking the car
out of the garage. It isn’t being over-
cautious to apply them within the first

just to determine that nothing has

used. It may mean the difference be-
tween life and death some day and the
test thus may be regarded as a ramifi-
cation of the definition of nature’s first
law as self preservation.
