——One of the cases presented tc
the Board of Pardons, at its meeting
in Harrisburg last week, was that of
Charles Baney, of Bellefonte, sent to
the Eastern penitentiary from Lu-
zerne county, last April, for a term
of three years, for forgery. Mrs.
Ruby Baney, his wife, had planned to
appear before the board in person and
plead for her husband’s release, but
instead wrote a letter stating that
she lacked the funds for the trip to
Harrisburg. The papers in the case
were placed before the board, but so
far no decision has been handed down.
——On Monday evening Orvis Har-
vey, son of Mrs. Betty Orvis Harvey,
was coming ‘down ‘Linn street ‘in’ his
another’s Studebaker car ‘and just as
he reached Penn street Dr. Kilpat-
rick came down the hill on that street
from the alley in the rear ‘of his
home. To avoid a collision Orvis
swung sharply to the left but evident-
ly lost control and ran head-on into
a tree in front of the Harrison Walk-
er property. The windshield of the
car was shattered to fragments and
the front portion of the machine bad-
dy damaged. The boy driver was cut
dn several places with broken glass
‘but sustained no serious injuries.
——Miss Virginia Healy, daughter
«of Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Healy, has
“been confined to bed most of the week
:as the result of injuries sustained
‘last Wednesday night when she was
struck and knocked down by a Ford
car on the crossing at High and
Spring streets. The driver of the
car came down High street and made
the turn around the traffic sign and
Miss Healy naturally supposed he was
going south on Spring street, so start-
ed’ over the crossing: from Dr. Dale’s
to the Valentine property. But the
motorist swung entirely around and
started up High street, hitting
her and knocking her down. She
was picked up and carried into the
office of Dr. Dale where first aid was
given and was then removed to
her home. Fortunately no bones were
broken but she was badly bruised ana
suffered from shock.
DRAW STIFF SENTENCES
Tuesday was the day for regular
argument court but before the list
wes taken up pleas of guilty were
heard and disposed of by the court.
The first case called was that
against McClure Hendershot, charged
with unlawful possession and sale of
liquor on August 80th and unlaw-
ful possession and transportation of
liquor on September 1st. Hendershot
entered a plea of nolle contendre in
both cases. Court records referred to
showed that on July 28th, 1925, Hen-
dershot had been convicted of unlaw-
ful possession and sale of liquor be-
fore Judge Reeder, specially presid-
ing, and had been sentenced to pay a
fine of $250 and serve from one to
two years in the county jail. In Feb-
ruary, 1926, he was paroled by Judge
Keller and given six months in which
to pay the fine and costs, a total of
$309. He has never paid any of it.
For the recent violation he was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of $250, costs and
imprisonment in the county jail from
one to two years.
The second man up was Howard
Ardery, an escaped convict from
Rockview penitentiary. Ardery was
sent up from Clearfield county in June,
1924, for two to four years for lar-
ceny. He had served only four months
when he made his escape on October
14th, 1924. He made his way to
Niagara Falls where he worked sev-
eral months, but left there when he
heard that officers were on his trail.
He went to Chicago where he worked
and about six weeks ago was attacked
on the street by two Mexicans,
stabbed in the side and robbed. For-
tunately the stab wounds were not
fatal and three weeks ago, when he
had sufficiently recovered to travel, he
returned to Clearfield county and vol-
untarily surrendered to the authori-
ties. Judge Furst told him he would
like to do something as a reward for
his return but could not, so imposed
a sentence of two to four years In
the penitentiary to compute from the
expiration of his original sentence.
Ralph Holmes, a Washington coun-
ty inmate who escaped from Rock-
view on November 12th and was cap-
tured at Houserville on the 15th by
police chief Yougel, of State College,
also entered a plea of guilty. He
was sent up for two to four years on
January 18th, 1926, for larceny, and
gave as his reason for attempting to
escape because the prison board re-
fused to act on his application for a
parole. He was also given an addi-
tional sentence of two to four years.
Ira Stere, of Clarence, plead guilty
to unlawful possession and transpor-
tation of liquor on October 15th, 1927.
On the evening of that day he was
on his way to Bellefonte and between
here ‘and’ Milesburg his car was
wrecked ‘when it collided with another
car. State patrolmen summoned to the
wreck found a gallon jug of moon-
shine in Stere’s car. The court told
Stere he was inclined te. be lenient
with him and suspended sentence ant
gave him six months in which to pay
a fine of $50 and costs, a total of
$70.75, when sheriff Taylor informed
the district aftorney that there is a
second commitment against the man
for operating a car while under the
influence of liquor. The court asked
Stere if he was intoxicated and he
denied it, stating that he had taken
a small:drink before leaving Snow
Shee but that was all he had. Stere
also offered to explain to the court
the presence of the jug of whiskey in
his car but the court said it wasn’t
necessary. Stere was remanded to
jail until such time as a return is
made on the second commitment, ai
which time his case will be disposec¢
of.
Harry Quick, nineteen years old, of
Snow Shoe, entered a plea of guilty
to stealing a ten dollar watch from
his grandmother. The lad explained
that he had been living with his
grandmother and merely took the
watch to wear. When his grandmother
made a fuss about it he returned the
watch, Sheriff Taylor stated that the
young man had been chased away
Irom home by his father and for al-
most a year had been living wherever
Quick -did not have a very: good repu-
tation. The court decided it was a
case for investigation by the proba-
tion officer and remanded the young,
man to jail until a report on the case
can be received. \
Jackson Fry was the next man
called to answer to an indictment
charging him with operating a car
while undér the influence of liquor,
but he refused to plead guilty. He
declared that the only thing he had
taken was one drink of cider, but a
Bellefonte physician had pronounced
him intoxicated. Sheriff Taylor stat-
ed that in his judgment Fry was not
drunk when brought to jail. At pres-
ent he is out on bail and the court
directed his case to be held until the
December term of court.
Harold Moyer, 21 years old, plead
guilty to stealing a single-barrel shot
gun from John Rossman on the night
of November 4. He got the gun by
crawling into an upstairs window. He
saw the gun while helping Mrs. Ross-
man -move. Moyer had for several
months been cutting prop timbers for
Earl Brown, at Yarnell, and felt con-
fident he could get a job there if re-
leased. The court remanded Moyer
to jail and instructed the district at-
torney to communicate with Mr.
Brown and if he will give Moyer a
home and employment he will sus-
pend sentence on the payment of the
costs.
he could, He stated, however, that.
Trail.
Now that Thanksgiving day is over
the several thousand deer hunters in
Centre county are making prepara-
tions to pack their kits and take the
trail to their favorite hunting grounds
in time to start the first drive at the
break of dawn next Thursday morn-
ing, the opening day of the deer sea-
son. Some of the hunters will prob-
ably hie to the woods today and to-
morrow so as to have a few days’ rabh-
bit hunting before the first of De-
cember, Others will go out early in
the week and by Wednesday evening
every mountain range in the county
will be literally a hive of hunters,
Hunters treking into the Seven
mountains will find the going consid-
erably improved over conditions a
year ago. During the summer the De-
partment of Forests and Waters con-
structed two improved roads some six
or eight miles into the depths of two
of the best camping sections of the
mountains, and now it will be no trick
at all to motor right to the heart
of the deer country. :
In addition to the thousands of Cen-
tre county hunters who will go to the
mountains large parties from one-
third the counties in the State will
invade Centre county’s deer paradise.
Most of the invading hunters have
had permanent camps in the Seven
mountains for a number of years,
while a dozen or more new perma-
nent camps were constructed during
the summer. Every hunting party
has its regular camping place and
generally refrains from infringing on
the rights of others.
Of course there are hundreds of
day hunters composed of farmers and
others living near the mountains,
most of whom are conversant with
the various deer trails, who organize
in groups and go out in the morn-
ing and home at night, and these are.
generally as successful
their buck as those
the woods.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that there are more deer in the
mountains this year than ever before.
The only question that is perplexing
the hunters is as to the number of
buck. But if reports reaching this
office recently can be taken as a basis
for computation there will be plenty
of bucks for the two weeks’ sport. A
Bellefonte party who recently made a
short trip into the Seven mountains
saw fifteen deer, four of which were
bucks with a legal rack of antlers.
On Monday of this week a herd of six
deer were seen in a field not five
miles from Bellefonte, two of whirn
were legal bucks.
The Watchman will appreciate it
if every hunting party will make an
effort to report their kill to this pa-
per as early as possible. We would
like a report of the first day’s }
that day, and also a report of the
season’s bag later,

Bellefonte High Defeats Juniata High
4 26 to 0.
The, Bellefonte High School foot-
ball team defeated the Juniata High
school, last Friday afternoon by the
score of 26 to 0, and thereby increased
their average and added to their total
of points scored.
* Because of the fact that 4 number
of Lock Haven scouts were on the
ground Bellefonte did not play its
game, by any means; in fact, coach
Bream started the game with three
subs in the line and several of the
best regulars were held out until the
last five minutes of play and then
sent in merely as a limbering-up ex-
ercise. :
Bellefonte made a touchdown in the
first two minutes of play and anoth-
er toward the end of the first quarter.
Touchdowns were also made in the
second and third quarters when the
team eased up. Harnish kicked two
goals.
In the fourth quarter Juniata con-
fined its efforts elmost entirely to an
aerial attack which resulted in consid-
erable ground gaining, but they were
unable to get the ball over the Belle-
fonte goal line.
Bellefonte played seven games prior
to the game yesterday with Lock
Haven, and the results are as fol-
lows:

BE SENT TO CHICAGO '
To Take Part in Organizing Airport
; Association.
At a regular meeting, on Monday
evening, borough council voted to
send Burgess Hard P. Harris to the
conference to be held in Chicago, De-
cember 12-15, for the purpose of or-
ganizing a National Afrport associa-
tion. And the members aia not at-
tempt to dictate how he should make
the trip, so he will probably go by
train instead of airplane.
John Benner, his son and two sons-
in-law were again present to hear
what council intended doing In com-
nection with the extension of a sewer
on Burnside street, on Reservoir hill.
Mr. Brouse, chairman of the Street
committee, stated that the matter
had been gone into pretty thoroughly
since the last meeting of council. Of
the fourteen residents along the street
where the sewer extension is desired
ten signified their willingness to pay
$30 for a tap, which would make a
total of $300. A careful estimate
showed that it would cost between
$1,000 and $1,100 to put down the
sewer and as the total returns as-
sured would be less than one-third
that amount, the committee recom-
mended that for the present the re-
quest be refused. The recommenda-
tion was approved by council, but
President Walker informed Mr. Ben-
ner that if they come before council
with a signed petition agreeing to
bear 50 per cent of the cost of the
sewer they will be given further con-
sideration.
Roland Ickoff submitted a written
communication in which he stated
that he is completing arrangements
for the erection of a house on his lot
on Lamb and Shoemaker streets, and
made application for an extension of
the water line to his property. Re-
ferred to the Street committee.
Communications were received
from Mrs. D. H. Hastings, Jesse Der-
stine in behalf of his mother, Mrs.
W. H. Derstine; G. Edward Haupt
and J. I. Young regarding adjustment
of taxes, and the requests were re-
ferred to the respective committees.
The Street committee reported vari-
ous repairs, cleaning the streets and
putting them in shape for the advent
of winter.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $3.00 on the 1924 dupli-
cate, $21 on the 1925 and $100 on the
1926, as well as one dollar for old
brick sold and ten dollars for garage
rent.
The Finance committee reported the
payment of one note and a substantial
balance in the treasury.
The Village Improvement committee
presented the request of Jacob Smith
for a permit to erect a house on Halr-
moon hill, and the same was granted.
Bills totaling $1,221.59 were ap-
proved for payment, after which coun-
cil adjourned.

About twenty members of the club
accepted the invitation of the Wom-
an’s club of Howard to visit that
place Wednesday evening, Nov. 16.
The entertainment of the visitors was
very interesting. The Howard women
presented a tableau play entitled
“The Fortygraf Album,” which was
well acted and brought generous ap-
plause. Mrs. Eben Bower made a re-
port of the state convention at Pitts-
burgh and musical numbers were sung
by Mrs. Marlin Rumberger and Miss
Eva Grove, both accompanied by Mrs.
John Ocker.
A delicious lunch was served and
all had an exceedingly enjoyable eve-

Scenic and Moose Theatre Leases to
Change Hands.
Last Thursday morning Mrs. Mag-
gie Brown signed an agreement to
transfer leases she holds on the Scenic
and Moose theatres in this place to
John P. Fretz, of Troy, Penna. a
Ever since the death of her hus-
band, the late T. Clayton Brown,
speculation has been rife as to what
would be done with these two popular
places of amusement. Several people
have made proposals to purchase, but
not until last Thursday was Mrs.
Brown satisfied with the price offered.
Under the agreement Mr. Fretz
will take over the business on Jan-
uary 1, next. He will acquire owner-
ship of all projection machines,
screens, the organ in the Scenic, oth-
er accessories and the leases on the
two houses. That on the Scenic has
three years to run, without a re-
newal clause, while that on the Moose

While here Mr. Fretz was very un-
communicative as to his plans for
conducting the theatres. Somehow a
rumor has been started here to the
effect that the Stanley Theatre cor-
poration is in some way identified
with the transfer. A letter from the
Pittsburgh office of the corporation
yesterday advises us’ that “the Stan-
ley. Theatre corporation through this
company has had no business deal-
ings in your city and any statement
made as to the purchase of the Moose
and Scenic theatres is without any
authority.”
It might be possible, however, that
Mr. Fretz is working with individual
members of the Stanley corporation, .

Chimes at Susquehanna a Memorial
to Dr. Aikens. it.
Impressive Founders day exercises
were observed at Susquehanna Uni-
versity on Tuesday.
In a masterful manner J. P. Car.
penter, Esq, of Sunbury, eulogized
f the founder, Dr. Benjamin Kurtz, who
in 1858 established the institution. To
Dr. Charles T. Aikens, late president
of Susquehanna, loving tribute was
paid. For many years Mr. Carpenter
was closely associated with Dr. Aik-
ens, being a member of the board of
directors and the executive commit-
tee of the University.
What Dr. Kurtz founded, Dr. Aik-
ens nurtured. During Susquehanna’s
most critical period it was his gen-
ius, business judgment and sagacity
that piloted her course and in time
established Susquehanna on a sound
basis. :
The presentation and dedication of
chimes recently presented to the Unt-
versity by M. P. Moller, of Hagers-
town, Md., and installed in the organ '
in Seibert Hall chapel, was a most
impressive feature of the program.
For twenty-two years Mr. Moller
has been a member of the board of
directors. During that entire period
a close and intimate friendship exist-
ed between him and Dr. Aikens. It
was in loving memory of his friend
and fellow-worker that Mr. Moller
presented the chimes at this time.
