DON'T WANT CARNIVAL.
Borough Council Declined to Take
Action Against It.
Henry S. Linn appeared before bor-
ough council, at its regular meeting
on Monday evening, and for the sec-
ond time entered a vigorous protest
against the drainage and sewage
from the Masonic Temple flooding the
cellar of the Linn home. At his first
appearance before council he stated
that the present sewer from the Ma-
sonic building runs through their
property to Howard. street and he
then asked that it be repaired. On
Monday evening, however, he entered
a vigorous protest against permitting
the Masons to relay a sewer through
their property, suggesting as the best
course for it from the building out to
the Allegheny street sewer. Borough
manager Seibert also stated that that
would be the best way for it. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee with instructions to see
that the nuisance complained of by
Mr. Linn is abated as quickly as
possible.
‘John Ammerman, who lives in the
Bush house block, on Race St., com-
plained about the surface water, dur-
ing hard rains, flooding his cellar.
The trouble there is that the street is
higher than the pavement and when
it rains hard the surface water over-
flows the pavement and runs into the
cellar window. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee.
A petition was presented from
forty-five residents of east High St.
requesting that that thoroughfare
from the jail to Wilson street be top-
dressed and oiled.
Daniel M. Snyder requested infor-
mation regarding a sewer tap con-
necting his properties on Pine street
with the Stony Batter sewer. This
was also referred to the Street com-
mittee.
It was at this juicture that a reso-
lution passed at the last meeting of
the Kiwanis club protesting against
the coming to Bellefonte of a carnival
company, was presented to borough
council through W. J. Emerick. The
resolution was read but inasmuch as
the carnival will exhibit outside the
borough limits council decided they
had no right to interfere, so no action
was taken.
The Street committee reported
that the sewers on west Lamb street,
Logan and Burnside streets have been
completed. Also the usual repairs
made on various streets. :
The Water committee reported new
water lines completed, repairs made
at the Phoenix pump, and the collec-
tion of $46.75 on the 1925 water du-
plicate and $553.25 on the 1926 dupli-
cate.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of two notes aggregating
$9,000, which was authorized.
Mr. Badger reported that Daniel
Snyder has made complaint about the
water from the private swimming
pool at the Judge Orvis home running
down over the hill and flooding his
property, on north Allegheny street.
He avers that the pool is emptied on
an average of twice a week and the
result is his property is water-soaked
all the time. The matter was refer-
red to the Street committee.
Report was' also made that the
Misses Valentine had entered com-
plaint about the hospital people
dumping their refuse over the hill, as
it rolls down into the road along the
west side of the Phoenix mill dam.
This matter was also referred to the
Street committee.
Regarding a foot bridge across
Spring creek Mr. Reynolds reported
that the Federal Match company is
negotiating for the construction of a
bridge but it will be a private one and
only for the use of its employees.
Mr. Reynolds reported progress in
the matter of securing street signs.
Regarding the request of the Logan
fire company for the payment of a
bill of sixty dollars for repairs to the
hook and ladder truck which was
damaged in a collision while return-
ing from a fire, the Fire and Police
committee reported that inasmuch as
council refused to pay a bill of $20.00
for the Undines when their squad
truck was damaged in a similar way
they thought it would be unfair to
pay the entire bill for the Logans, but
recommended that they be reimbursed
to the extent of $40, and it was so
ordered.
Mr. Brouse, for the Street commit-
tee, reported that they had secured
bids for oil and stone for repairs on
streets and recommended that the
Texaco Oil company be given the con-
tract for oil and the Chemical Lime
company the contract for stone, and
council approved the recommendation.
Report was made that there are in-
dications that the big sewer on Bishop
street is becoming clogged and the
Street committee and borough mana-
ger were instructed to investigate it.
Bills were approved for payment
amounting to $3454.57, after which
council adjourned.
School of Religious Education will
Begin June 13th.
The Bellefonte churches will begin
their school of religious education in
the Allegheny street public school
building on Monday, June 13th, at 9

event in the lives of the young-
sters-and if they display as much in-
terest in the economic life of the town
when they reach their majority as
they displayed last week they will
make good citizens. The committee
who had charge of the week’s pro-
gram was composed of Clarence E,.
Williams, chairman; John J. Regen-
old, Jay T. Storch, E. E. Widdowson,
Rev. Homer C. Knox and general
secretary John W. Stuart, of the Y.
M. C. A. They planned various events

tween Bellefonte and Williamspirt
and saw the home team come off vic-
tor by the score of 2 to 0.
On Saturday morning all the boys
and girls were guests at a special
matinee at the Richelieu theatre.
During the week the boys held an
election which resulted in the follow-
ing choice of county and borough of-
fices: Sheriff, Maxwell Kelley; pro-
thonotary, Jimmy Rogers; register,
Ned Ray; recorder, "Ross Beatty;
treasurer, Wayne Morrow; burgess,
Karl Heverly; councilmen, Billie
Brown, Paul Gallagher, Richard Hev-
erly, William Zerbe, Henry Bullock
and Robert Guisewhite; chief of po-
lice, Bud Kelleher.
At noon on Saturday burgess Hard
P. Harris administered the oath of
office to all the above then turned
them loose and told them to go to it.
The boys made a tour of the court
house then looked over the town to
see if they could find anything wrong.
They found ten or a dozen cars park-
ed across the white line and prompt-
ly proceeded to tag the same, which
was as far as their authority went. :
The committee in charge hereby ex-
tends thanks to all firms and individ-
uals who in any way contributed to
the success of the first Boy’s Week
held in Bellefonte.

' WANT LINDBERGH TO
STOP IN BELLEFONTE.
: Renowned Flier will be Asked to Land
on Trip West. !
Burgess Hard P. Harris has ex-
tended an invitation to Capt. Charles
Lindbergh, the hero of the two conti-
nents, to make a brief stop in Belle-
fonte on his way west to St. Louis.
Had it not been for the miscarriage
of a letter Capt. Lindbergh would
have stopped in Bellefonte on his trip
from St. Louis to New York before
his remarkable flight, so it is not be-
ibe induced to stop here, for a brief
time, at least, on his way west next
week. i
As a means of impressing him with
the urgent desire of Bellefonte people
to greet him it might be a good idea
for some of the leading business and
professional men of the town to sup-
plement burgess Harris’ invitation.
And this is where the Western Union
Telegraph company comes in.
That company, in anticipation of a
nation-wide desire on the part of the
public to congratulate the intrepid
flier has authorized a special rate for
such messages to Capt. Linbergh to
Washington. In fact a message of
ten words can be sent for 30 cents.
As these messages should be in
| Washington to greet the flier on his
f arrival tomorrow, they should be sent
today or early tomorrow morning.
Of course, it is a certain fact that
most every city and town along the
route of Capt. Lindbergh’s flight
west will be after him to stop, but
Bellefonte should have prestige over
most of them because it has a govern-
» ment airmail landing field, and be-
cause it is currently ° reported that
| Lindbergh has stopped here on one or
‘ two occasions. in making flights while
i he was still an airmail pilot, although
: he never flew regularly over the east-
; ern route. 2
Escaped Convict Cries when Sentenced
for Breaking and Escaping.
John Harrison Knapp, one of the
three men who escaped from the
Rockview penitentiary on the even-
ing of April 21st, by cutting a hole
through the wire stockade, was cap-
tured in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on
Tuesday of last week, brought to the
sentenced for breaking and escaping
by Judge Furst on Saturday morning.
Knapp’s record showed that he was
convicted at Sunbury for implication
in the robbery of a jewelry store at
Milton and sent to the eastern peni-
tentlary for three to six years. After
serving about six months in the east-
: érn institution he was transferred to
i Rockview and had been there about
| & year when he escaped.
.. When called up for sentence Knapp
stated that he was 39 years old and
a native of Oklahoma City. That he
was a painter by trade and had spent
most of his life traveling over the
country. He denied that he partic-
| ipated in the robbery of the jewelry
store at Milton but admitted that he
had been arrested in Corry when en-
' gaged in an effort to dispose of three
. of the stolen watches which had been
given to him by one of the robbers
to sell; but stated that he did not
know they had been stolen.
While he was telling his story to
the court tears trickled down his
cheeks and when Judge Furst told
him that the court had no option in
the matter of imposing sentence the
man cried loud enough to be heard all
over the court room. The court gave
him three to six years to compute
from the completion ~f his original
sentence.

Bellefonte Has Personal Interest in
Trans-Atlantic Fliers.
Bellefonte has had a personal inter-
est in the success of the Trans-Atlan-
tic fliers. While as an airmal pilot
Capt. Charles Lindbergh never was a
regular pilot on the eastern division
he did on one or two occasions pilot
ships over the course between New
York and Chicago. As is well known,
his ship “The Spirit of St. Louis,”
was built by the Ryan Airplane com-
pany, of San Diego, Cal., of which B.
F. Mahoney is the president, and the
latter’s brother, Ivan Mahoney, was
at one time a student at the Belle-
fonte Academy.
Charles R. Levine, the owner of the
Columbia, which this week completed
a successful flight to Germany, is a
native of Pittsburgh, and two of his
brothers have been students at the
Academy, Bernard Levine, who com-
pleted his course last year and enter-
ed Syracuse University, and Philip
Levine, who will complete his course
next week and is counting on entering
Harvard in the fall. Naturally both
boys are proud of their brother for
having made the trip in the Columbia.
When John F. Marks opened
up his uptown restaurant, “The Gov-
ernor,” last Thursday morning, he
found the cash register open and $23
in change missing. A thorough
search failed to reveal any place
where the robber gained entrance and
the only conclusion arrived at was
that the theft had been made by
somebody who had a key to the room.
Whoever it was evidently unlocked
the front door, walked in and tapped
the till of the cash register and on
leaving relocked the door, It is need-
less to say that the lock on the door
was promptly changed.
