this very well and strangers visiting
in town invariably go to the Scenic

good. Be a regular and see them
all.
As a means of future retrench-
ment in expenses at the Bellefonte.
plant of the Federal Match company
two more local officials were released
on Wednesday afternoon, W. Freder-
ick Reynolds, who has been acting
manager since the release of his fath-
er, Col. W. F. Reynolds, and Miss
Blanche Underwood, the very efficient
secretary of the local organization.
Miss Underwood has been with the

nice position.
——John Baney, four year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baney, of
Spring Creek, sustained a bad cut on
the head and other minor injuries
in a motor accident on Monday.
He, with several other children,
were playing on the bank of the pub-
lic road as Dr. J. C. Rodgers, driving
his own car and trailing another one
into town, happened along. The
Baney boy ran out into the road be-
tween the two cars and it was impos-
sible to avoid hitting him. Dr. Rodg-
ers promptly took the lad to the hos-
pital and gave him the necessary
surgical attention.
After being associated with the
Beezer garage for a period of twenty-
four years John Porter Lyon resigned
his position as manager two weeks
ago. Mr. Lyon, by the way, was the
pioneer garage man in Bellefonte and
Centre county. Back in the days
when autos were still in their swad-
dling clothes he took the Buick agency
and purchased a two cylinder model.
He later opened a garage in the Bush
Arcade, in the room now occupied by
the business office of the Bell Tele-
phone company. In those days oper-
ating a garage was not a paying prop-
esition and he finally closed out and
later went with George A. Beezer, at
his agency on north Water St.
BOROUGH COUNCIL
HAD BUSY EVENING.
Considerable Routine Business Dis-
cussed and Disposed of.
Just six councilmen were in at-
tendance at the regular meeting on
Monday evening, the absentees being
Messrs. Reynolds, Brouse and Eckel.
Henry S. Linn again appeared in
person and informed council that
unless something is done immediately
to prevent the drainage and sewage
from Masonic Temple seeping into
their cellar he would appeal to the
State Board of Health. Borough
manager J. D. Seibert stated that he
would start work the next morning
on laying a sewer pipe across Alle-
gheny street, and Mr. Badger stated
that the Masons would make connec-
tion as soon as the sewer pipe was
laid across the street.
A written application was received
from L. E. Harter for an appoint-
ment as borough policeman. It was
laid on the table for future considera-
tion.
The W. C. Krader Motor company
presented a permit from the State for
the installation of a gas tank and
pump under the curb at their place of
business on the corner of Allegheny
and Howard streets. Several council-
men expressed the opinion that the
street there is too narrow to permit
the construction of a filling station
and no action was taken.
In a written petition to council resi-
dents of Bishop street, between Alle-
gheny and Spring streets, complained
of inadequate sewer service. That
during hard rain storms the present
sewer will not carry off the water and
that the surface drainage is not suffi-
ciently sanitary. Borough manager
Seibert stated that the big sewer had
been about one third full of crushed
stone and dirt. That he had recently
removed twelve tons of stone and it
was now clean and clear and should
carry away all the water during the
hardest kind of a storm. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
to see that there is no further cause
of complaint so far as the borough
is concerned.
Theodore Haupt, contractor, pre-
sented a written request for a permit
to erect a concrete block house on
east Howard street for Raymond
Ammerman, giving a detailed de-
scription of the house as well as loca-
tion. After some discussion as to
just how council should proceed in the
granting of a permit the matter was
finally referred to the Village Im-
provement committee for investiga-
tion and report at next meeting.
The Street committee reported
cleaning out the big sewer on Bishop
street, and also the one on Lamb
street, near the armory, as well as
various repairs on other streets.
Mr. Cunningham, of the Water
committee, reported that the G. F.
Musser company vacated the Phoenix
mill property on August 1st, all but
a shed in which they have two trucks
stored and for which they will pay
$10 per month rent. The company
owed for rent to August 1st $260 and
asked a credit of $110 for an electric
motor installed at the elevator and a
heating plant, which was fifty per
cent. of the cost of same. The com-
mittee had made the allowance and |
presented the company’s check for the !
balance of $150. Council approved |
the action. |
The Finance committee asked for a
new note for $1000 to meet current
bills, which was authorized.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented a check for $77.25 a contribu-
tion of residents of Spring Mills, and
the individual check of C. P. Long for
$8.00, as a good will offering to the
Bellefonte fire department for the re-
sponse of the Logans on the occasion
of the recent fire in that town.
The Sanitary committee reported
progress in connection with the com-
plaint at the last meeting regarding
the smoke nuisance from the milk
station.
Mr. Cunningham presented five bids
for furnishing pipe for the proposed
water extension on Lamb and north
Thomas streets, but some of the bids
represented the price of the pipe per
foot and others in tons, and the bids
were referred back to the committee
to get them all in price per lineal
foot.
Residents of east Howard street
are complaining about a bad odor up
there caused by throwing wash
water in open gutters. Referred to
the Sanitary committee.
Bills amounting to $1075.94 were
approved for payment after which
council adjourned.

Bellefonte Lost to Jersey Shore.
The Bellefonte ball team lost to
Jersey Shore, last Saturday, by the
score of 5 to 4 in a ten inning game.
The locals scored two runs in the first
and second inning and this, probably,
was their undoing. It looked as if
things were going to be easy for
Bellefonte but Jersey Shore proved a
worthy foe and made a grand slam
in the third inning when three run-
ners crossed the plate. They tied the
score in the 8th and the winning run
was driven in in the tenth by a clean
base hit by Nicholson. Having won
Thursday’s game Bellefonte was able
to move up two pegs from the tail
end as will be seen from the follow-
ing standing of the clubs:
Lewistown ......covveeeeenn 3. 0

Escaped Prisoners Captured Last Fri-
day Morning.
Harvey and Fred Buck, the two
brothers who escaped from Rockview
penitentiary last Wednesday after-
noon, are now back in the peniten-
tiary at Pittsburgh with long terms
ahead of them as the result of their
breaking and escaping. The two men
were caught on Friday morning up at
Snow Shoe Intersection through in-
formation furnished by Mickey E.
Flynn, the night trick operator at the
tower. When he wasn’t hammering
the key of his telegraph instrument
or answering the telephone Mickey
kept a watchful eye out of the win-
dow. Between four and five o'clock
he saw two men trying to start the
Ford car of Mr. Sommers, who lives
near the tower. He called to them to
find out what they were doing and
grabbing a rain coat from the car the
men ran up the railroad track.
Mr. Flynn had read a description of
the escaped convicts and feeling cer-
tain that the two men were those in-
dividuals promptly called the peni-
tentiary. Deputy warden W. J. Mec-
Farland and assistant deputy C. C.
Rhoads quickly responded and found
the fugitives lying on the ground fast
asleep, about half a mile from the
tower. They were captured without
any trouble and landed in the
Centre county jail. Operator Flynn
will be entitled to $100 for furnishing
the information which led to the ar-
rest of the escaped convicts. On a
former occasion Mr. Flynn was paid
$50 for turning in the information
which led to the arrest of an escaped
prisoner.
The Buck brothers were taken be-
fore Judge Furst, on Saturday after-
noon. He sentenced Harvey to serve
an additional sentence of two to four
years and Fred four to eight, follow-
ing the expiration of their original
sentence. Milan Dackrack, of Cam-
bria county, who escaped from Rock-
view on July 1st and was caught the
next day, and who refused to plead
guilty when taken before the court on
July 9th, for fear he would be sent to
the electric chair, changed his mind
and on Saturday entered a plea of
guilty. He was given two and a half
to five years, a duplicate of his
original sentence.
The three men were taken back to
Pittsburgh early in the week by
sheriff E. R. Taylor and deputies.
State Cop Released on Bail Charges
Sheriff Taylor with Assault.
Corporal Glen A. Amend, state
highway patrolman who was arrested
and confined to the Centre county jail,
on Monday night of last week on the
alleged charge of aggravated assault
and battery on the person of Robert
Taylor, was released on bail last
Thursday and later transferred from
Bellefonte to Altoona where he has
been assigned to duty.
His release followed a visit to |
Bellefonte of Lieut. J. M. Bender, of
Altoona, who came here to make an
investigation of the case. On his ad-
vice Amend went before ’Squire
Woodring and made information
against the sheriff charging him with
assault; against Robert Taylor charg-
ing him with assault and resisting
an officer, and against three other
Bellefonte young men charging them
with interfering with an officer in the
performance of his duty. No war-
rants were issued for the arrest of
any of the men, but all went before
'Squire Woodring and voluntarily
entered bail for their appearance at
court.
The Altoona Tribune, on Saturday,
published a column story of the entire
incident, as told by Lieut. Bender and
Corp. Amend, and when the correct-
ness of the story was disputed by
sheriff Taylor a staff correspondent
was sent here on Sunday with the re-
sult that the paper carried another
long story on Monday giving the
other side of the affair.
In the meantime Mrs. Taylor has
recovered from her attempt at suicide
and is back with her husband at
Pleasant Gap. So far there is no in-
dication of a settlement out of the
courts and if the case is eventually
tried some unpleasant truths may be
divulged.
Seventy Graduate at Close of the
Summer Session at State.
Diplomas were awarded to 70
graduates at the fourth annual sum-
mer commencement of The Pennsyl-
vania State College last evening, by
President Ralph D. Hetzel. Fifty-six
of these were given to graduates of
four-year college courses and the re-
mainder were advanced degrees to
those completing work in the Gradu-
ate school.
The commencement address was
given by Dr. Harold W. Foght, presi-
dent of Northern Normal and Indus-
trial School, at Aberdeen, S. D. He
has been at State College for the past
two weeks giving special courses in
rural education to teachers of country
schools. A feature of the evening was
a combined concert by the orchestra
and chorus of the Institute of Music
Education.
The Penn State summer session.
without doubt the best ever conducted
at State College, closes today. A
large group of county and district
superintendents of schools is at the
college this week for special confer-
ences, addressed by prominent educa-
tors including Dr. J. A. H. Keith,
suprintendent of the State Depart-
ment of Public Instruction, and many
members of his staff.
NEW BELLEFONTE BANK
IS GRANTED CHARTER
Will be known as Farmers National
and Capitalized at $50,000.
The United States Comptroller of
Currency has granted a charter for a
new bank in Bellefonte to be known
as the Farmers National bank, capital
and surplus $62,500, full paid with
quite an additional list of applicants
for stock.
The board of directors chosen at the
time application was made for a
charter includes Dr. S. S. McCormick,
William H. Brouse, Rev. Reed O.
Steely, Van S. Jodon, W. C. Smeltzer,
Jacob H. Weaver, John W. Garbrick,
John P. Eckel, Frank P. Hockman,
Dr. F. K. White, Edward F. Garman,
Dr. S. M. Nissley and Willis M. Bot-
torf. The officers chosen from the
above list are president, Rev. Reed O.
Steely; vice president, W. C. Smeltz-
er; secretary, Willis M. Bottorf.
No selection has yet been made for
cashier although it is understood
that the board has quite a list of ap-
plicants.
The new bank will be located in the
building on the corner of Spring and
High streets formerly occupied by
the Centre County Banking company,
which will be thoroughly overhauled
and renovated, without any extensive
remodeling at present. It is planned
to have the institution open for busi-
ness on or about October first.
While the new bank will be located
in the Centre County bank build-
ing its interests are entirely separate
and apart from those of the old insti-
tution, although every creditor of the
Centre County will be given oppor-
tunity to subscribe for stock in the
new institution.
The initial capitalization is only
tentative. It could have been made
$100,000 and the amount would have
been subscribed, but the limit was
fixed at fifty thousand so that the
creditors of the old institution would
have the opportunity to join in if
they so desired.
Before anyone else is offered stock
in the new institution every creditor
of the Centre county will be offered
a chance to subscribe, whether it be
for one share or ten. They will not
be urged to go in, but if enough
desire to do so the capitalization will
be increased—so that they may be
accommodated.
We understand that the new Con-
pany will take over the banking
building at just what Mr. Eckel paid
for it, plus interest on his investment.
The banking rooms will not be greatly
changed at once but the third floor
will be converted into ultra-apart-
ments so that the building will have
an earning capacity that will make it
an exceedingly profitable investment,
instead of a frozen asset on the bank’s
books.
If the plans in prospect are all
carried out there can be no doubt of
the success of the new institution. In
fact its final development might be
the most substantial business organi-
zation Centre county has ever had.
W. C. T. U. Convention to be Held at
Port Matilda.
The Centre county Woman’s Chris-
tian Temperance Union has announc-
ed that the annual convention will be
held at Port Matilda, one day only,
September 15th.
The county treasurer, Mrs. F. P.
Knoll, reports that the books already
show an increase of membership over
that of last year. Almost every local
reports a gain and there are several
new or reorganized Unions. With
over a month in which to collect dues
and enroll new members the Unions
will no doubt make greater gains be-
fore the convention.
The program of the W. C. T. U. is
changing a little with new knowl-
edge of the problem. The basic fact
is now seen to be more scientific than
ethical, resting upon the simple dis-
covery that alcohol is a poison, a
habit-forming drug; that the preven-
tion of alcholism is a matter of pub-
lic health and sanitation. The tradi-
cation of the bootlegger is in the
same list of public duties as the eradi-
cation of the typhoid germ.
Mrs. W. A. Broyles, of State Col-
lege, is just completing the first year
as president of the county organiza-
tion. Mrs. Frank Fisher, of Centre
Hall, is vice-president.
A large delegation from this local-
ity is expected to attend the Port Ma-
tilda meeting. The evening speaker
has not been announced, but an effort
is being made to secure a notable
minister for the occasion.
The Bellefonte Union, under the
leadership of Mrs. E. O. Struble, re-
ports a gain in membership over last
year and a number of educational pro-
jects carried out. The local Union
owns a fine property on High street,
known as Petrikin hall, which is free
from debt.
Y. M. C. A. News Notes.
The Regular monthly meeting of
the board of directors of the Belle-
fonte Y. M. C. A. will be held Mon-
day evening, August 8th, at 7.30
o’clock. All standing committees will
please report.
The older Y boys will go out today
for an over night hike. Full informa-
tion can be obtained from the secre-
tary.
The “old-timers” bowling social
held last Friday evening proved an
enjoyable event for all who partici-
pated. One of the new men in evi-
dence was Mr. Caum, local manager
of the Bell telephone. Doc Williams
made the high score, 210.

Four Young Men Injured in Auto
Accidents.
" On Saturday evening Walter Lei-
den, aged 21, of State College, and
Edward Leahey, aged 23, of Johns-
