vice Commission, will start on a regu-
lar service today, covering most of

Last Friday evening a street
hawker secured a license for selling
riovelties on the street corner. He put
up his stand on the corner at the
Bellefonte Trust company and started
in by virtually giving away every-
thing; that is his customers were
urged to make their own price then
he would give them the article and
their money back too. When he play-
ed them to the point of thinking that
they could offer anything with safety
and be sure of getting it back, he
roped them for $5.00 offers for a
cheap fountain pen, but didn’t give
that back. He took in $80 in a short
time, then packing his kit into his
waiting automobile and driving up
Jail hill left for Lock Haven.
The mysterious disappearance
of two cars belonging to members of
the same family, last Friday night,
caused some excitement in police cir-
cles, on Saturday morning, but both
cars were found in due time and their
disappearance satisfactorily explain-
ed. John Morgan, son of Thomas
Morgan, works at night as a guard
at Rockview penitentiary. He is
married and lives in Milesburg. Fri-
day evening he was in Bellefonte until
quite late and when he was ready to
go home took his brother Gilbert’s
Ford car, which was standing on the
street near the West Penn Power
company office, intending to return
it early Saturday morning. But when
he tried to start it, on Saturday morn-
ing, it wouldn’t start, so he left it
stand and came with a neighbor to
Bellefonte. There was no bus running
up to the penitentiary at that hour, (4
o’clock) and being late as it was, he
went to his father’s home and taking
his Chevrolet car out of the garage
drove to Rockview. When he got an
opportunity to do so, during Saturday
morning, he telephoned his brother
what he had done and thus the mys-
terious disappearance of the two cars
was cleared up.
Monday was
BELLEFONTE LUMBER CO.
LEASED TO CLASTER & CO.
New Owners Took Charge on Monday
Morning.
Another important business change
took place in Bellefonte during the
week in the lease of the Bellefonte
Lumber company’s plant, on South
Water street, to Morris Claster & Co.,
of Lock Haven. All details in con-
nection with the lease were concluded
and papers signed the latter part of
last week, and the new owners took
charge on Monday morning. The
lease, it is understood, was made with
an option to purchase the plant at a
stipulated figure on or before a speci-
fied date and is for a ten year period.
Operations at the plant will be in
direct charge of Isadore Claster, son
of Morris Claster, and to a represen-
tative of the Watchman he stated on
Tuesday that the lumber yard and
mill will be continued in operation,
for the present, at least, as they have
been in the past. Rumors have been
current on the street that the planing
mill will be shut down at once, but Mr.
Claster stated that such is not the
case. The mill will be kept in opera-
tion indefinitely and may never be
closed down. It all depends upon
whether it proves a money making
proposition or a loser under the new
management.
Morris Claster & Co. are large lum-
ber dealers in Lock Haven and their
experience there will be utilized in
the operation of the plant here.
The Bellefonte Lumber company
plant is the oldest industry of its
kind in Bellefonte. Just who estab-
lished it originally is not exactly clear
but it passed into the hands of the
late John Ardell over forty-five years
ago, and for many years was operated
as the Ardell Lumber company. Fol-
lowing the death of Mr. Ardell it was
taken over by the Bellefonte Lumber
company, an organization formed by
the late Edward Hoy. Different in-
terests have been connected with it
since that time and the principal own-
er of late was Col. W. F. Reynolds.

Thousands See the “Human Fly”
Scale Crider’s Exchange.
Several thousand people congregat-
ed in the Diamond, on Saturday even-
ing, to see Harry W. Gardiner, the
celebrated “human fly,” climb to the
top of Crider’s Exchange. The feat
was performed at 7.30 o’clock and Mr.
Gardiner made the climb successfully
to the roof, but he quailed at climb-
ing the tower. Not because of the
height but because of the fact that
the galvanized iron runners on the
corners of the tower are so rusted and
weakened that they crumbled to dust
in his vise-like grip, and it would have
been foolhardy to have risked his life
under such conditions. After several
attempts to ascend the tower Mr.
Gardiner candidly announced to the
crowd that it was dangerous to at-
tempt the climb, then made his de-
scent over the same course he took in
scaling the building.
The sale of tags amounted to $99.-
95. Out of this amount Mr. Gardi-
ner’s hotel expenses were paid and
| Penn State
the balance divided evenly between
Gardiner and the Bellefonte baseball
association. The carnival which was
conducted on the Haag lot by mem-
bers of the American Legion for the
benefit of the baseball association,
came to a close on Saturday evening. !
While the exact proceeds are not
known at this writing it is estimated i
that the baseball fund will benefit to !
the extent of five hundred dollars.

W. C. T. U. Essay Contest Won by |
Unionville Boy.
Randall Thompson, of Unionville,
was fortunate enough to win the
county prize in the essay contest con-
ducted by the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union. The nature of
the prize has not been announcd but
it will be publicly awarded at the
county convention to be held at Port
Matilda on the evening of September
15th, and it is reported that it will be
worth young Thompson’s claiming at
that time.
Mrs. Lella Gardner, of State Col-
lege, has for years added to her other
numerous activities the management
of the department of scientific tem-
perance instruction in the county.
The work of this department is to
visit schools and encourage teachers
and superintendents of schools to
stress the teaching of the effects of
alcohol upon the human body. Al-
though this instruction is made com-
pulsory by state law, experience has
shown that the whole subject is vital-
ized by the interest of organized
mothers in the community. The
essay contests carried on by local
Unions are one great method. The
topic this year was “Why the United
States Outlaws Wine and Beer.” Con-
tests were held in the schools of Phil-
ipsburg. State College, Unionville,
Bellefonte, Millheim and some others
not yet reported. The Bellefonte con-
test was in charge of Miss Lucy Pot-
ter.
At the meeting at Port Matilda, on
the 15th of September, some of the
essays will be exhibited as well as a
group of posters designed by State
students. Plans will be launched for
extending the essay contests for next
year. As the local essays carry hand-
some cash prizes the interest has
grown rapidly in communities where
they are introdced.
Work Begun on New Hangar for Na-
tional Air Transport Co.
The Austin Construction company,
of New York city, began work on
Monday on the erectton of the new
hangar out at the government avia-
tion field for the National Air Trans-
port company which on or about Sep-
tember first will take over carrying
the airmail from the United States
government between New York and
Chicago. The hangar will be of steel
sheeting with a lining of fireproof
plaster board, and will be rushed to
completion as fast as possible. Local
workmen will be used as far as possi-
ble.
The National Air Transport com-
pany evidently intends combining ex-
press business with the airmail right
from the start, as they have already
engaged D. Wagner Geiss to haul ex-
press matter back and forth between
Bellefonte and the landing field.
Summer Session Best
Ever.
When the eighteenth annual sum-
mer session at the Penna. State Col-
lege came to a close last week it was
voted the best all-around session ever
held there. The faculty and student
latter numbering about
2650, including those at branches in
Erie and Altoona, was of unusually
high caliber. Degrees were awarded
to 74 at the summer commencement.
{ Visiting lecturers for entertainments
and the many conventions and insti-
tutes included scores of men and
women of national reputation. There
is a general feeling on the campus
that this summer Penn State has con-
"tributed much to education and the
general welfare of the people of the
State and nation, not the least of
which came from the Institute cf
Chemistry held at the college by the
American Chemical Society.

ASK IMPOUNDING OF
COUNTY BALLOT BOXES.
Judge Furst will Not Comply Unless
Expense is Guaranteed.
Judge James C. Furst, on Monday,
received a letter from David S.
Barry, sergeant at arms of the United
States Senate, requesting the im-
pounding of the ballot boxes, ballots
and everything pertaining to last fall’ s
election, but he has decided not to
comply with the request unless the U.
S. government guarantees all ex-
penses that would be entailed in com-
plying with the request, and also
either releases the ballot boxes or
furnishes new ones in time for the
primaries on September 20th. Judge
Furst’s reply to the sergeant at arms
is as follows: —
Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 8, 27
Honorable David S. Barry,
Sergeant at Arms U. S. Senate,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Your letter of August 8th has been
received in which you ask that I, as
President Judge of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas of Centre County, make an
order at the earliest possible moment
requiring custodians of all ballot
boxes, ballots, tally sheets, voters’
lists, registration lists, aand all docu-
mentary paraphernalia connected
with the election of November 1926
be deposited at the County Seat and
held there in possession of the Court
subject to the order of the Sergeant
at Arms for transportation to Wash-
ington.
I assure you that I am ready and
willing to act in full harmony and
accord with any request from the
United States Senate, but there are
several matters that I wish to call to
your attenion and upon which I desire
information before making such an
order.
Centre County is next to the largest
County in the State of Pennsylvania
and is composed of sixty six voting
precincts. To carry this order into
effect would require the expenditure
of a considerable amount of money.
The transportation item alone would
be large. The question of storage
under proper conditions would be a
problem and it would immediately be-
come necessary to supply each of
these precincts with new ballot boxes
and they would have to be in place
on September 20th, the date of our
fall primary, and this item would also
be large. The service of such a
notice and the necessary expense in-
curred will have to be met and under
no conditions can I see that it would
be just or right to place these costs on
the County.
Elections held in Centre County
have always been conducted in a very
careful and orderly manner and the
probability of error or fraud is so
slight that I am satisfied a recount
would not produce any material
change in the official returns. If you
will outline the matter in which this
order shall be made, served and exe-
cuted, and give me proper assurances
that all costs incident thereto will be
promptly paid, I assure you that I
will most whole heartedly co-operate
in this matter.
Very respectfully,
JAMES C. FURST.

High School Football Schedule.
The athletic management of the
Bellefonte High school has arranged
a schedule of nine games for the foot-
ball team for the 1927 season. Last
year the team went through the sea-
son without a single defeat and only
one tie score. But unfortunately some
of the best players on last year’s
team were lost by graduation. Indi-
cations are, however, that there will
be plenty of good material from which
to build a team this year, and this is
where the new athletic trainer will
have a job on his hands.
J. M. Riden, who has coached the
team the past three years, and been
unusually successful, will go to Sun-
bury as coach, while Bellefonte’s new
coach will be Charles C. Bream, a
graduate of Gettysburg college, and
one of the best all around athletes
ever turned out at that institution.
With the opening of school early in
September Mr. Bream will inaugurate
football practice and hopes to have
the team in shape for the opening
game. The schedule for the season is
as follows:
October 1—Open for home game.
October 8—Altoona at Altoona. *
October 15—Mount Union away.
October 22-—Altoona Catholic High
home.
