The regular February term of court convened at ten o’clock on Mon- day morning with Judge M. Ward Fleming on the bench. The list of traverse jurors was called and those excused from service noted. The civ- il list for both this week and next was then gone over and disposition of cases noted. On the list for this week were four cases in which George Searson was the plaintiff and the Boalsburg Es- tate and A. A. Klinefelter, J. I. Ross, James Elliott and Clyde Stamm, de- fendants, all of which were settled. On the list of continuances of cas- es scheduled for next week were six against the Pennsylvania Railroad company in which the plaintiffs are Elrea E. Ellenberger, J. Raymond Guyer, George B. Lake and Jean B. Lake, his wife; Guy Rossman and | Minnie B. Rossman, his wife; the Evergreen Hunting club and the Ty- rone Mining and Manufacturing company.

Prosecutor in the first case, L. K. Metzger, and in the second case, W. R. Gentzel. Af- ter the case was opened it was dis- covered that some documentary evi- dence was not presented in court and the jury was set aside and the next case called. Commonwealth vs. Harry M. Hoy. Indicted for assault and indecent pro- posal. Prosecutrix, Olive Hendershot. This case is from Spring township, and the occurrence was alleged to have taken place October 24th last. The Commonwealth alleged the sub- stance as contained in the indictment and the defendant denied having been at the home of the prosecutrix but setting forth that he was at another home. Verdict of not guilty and the prosecutrix to pay the costs. Commonwealth vs. Andrew Kokur, indicted for a statutory offense. Pros- ecutrix, Julia Mulholland. Defendant plead guilty and the usual santence was imposed. At this stage in the proceedings the two cases against G. A. Caddan were recalled. The gist of these cases was the alleged attempt of the defendant to get away with a Jewett roadster which had not been entirely paid for. In his own defense the defendant testified that his going from State College to Scranton was not an act in an attempt to defraud. That he had gone there on a visit, was taken ill and housed up for a period of six weeks. That later he had transferred the car to his brother-in-law who paid off the claim of the Finance company holding the lease on the car. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty in both cases. The next case taken up was that against John Kelly, indicted for vol- untary and involuntary manslaughter. Before going to trial the first charge was waived by the Commonwealth. The testimony in the case showed that on the evening of October 7th, Kelly came to Bellefonte from his home in Coleville with a jug of moon- shine. On the street he met Russell Bryan and William Mills and gave each of the young men a drink from the jug. Later Bryan was found ly- ing on the street in an unconscious condition. He was taken to. the Cen- tre County hospital where he died the following afternoon, and the physi- cians pronounced the cause of death as alcoholism. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and Kelly was promptly sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution, a dollar fine and two years in the county jail. Commonwealth vs. William Jones, indicted for aggravated assault and battery. Prosecutor, W. J. McFar- land. The defendant was a prisoner at Rockview and during an alterca- tion with other inmates ran amuck with a knife and stabbed several guards before he was subdued. De- fendant plead guilty and was sen- tenced to pay the costs of prosecution, a dollar fine and from two to four vears in the western penitentiary to date from the expiration of his orig- inal sentence. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. R. E. Ellis, indicted for fraudu- lent conversion and embezzlement, the court quashed the indictment on motion of defendant’s attorneys. Commonwealth vs. Earl E. Shaffer and Joseph Hunt, indicted for viola- tion of the liquor law. Prosecutor, A. E. Yougel. ' The defendants plead guilty and were each sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution and $100 fine. Commonwealth vs. Grover C. Bal- linger, indicted for attempt to de- fraud. Prosecutor, F. L. Clemson. Defendant plead guilty and was sen- tenced to pay the costs of prosecu- tion, one dollar fine and three months in the county jail. —— A —— Charles M. McCurdy Makes Interesi- ing Address to Woman's Club. The regular February meeting of the Woman’s club of Bellefonte, held in the High school building last Mon- day night, excelled in interest even ‘the anticipation of the large number of members and guests who ‘were present. ; | Charles M. McCurdy, president of . the First National bank, was the i scheduled speaker. The assigned sub- | ject was “Banking and Business.” { While it was to be presumed that Mr. McCurdy would handle it intelligent- ly few expected such a profoundly comprehensive address. Beginning with the establishment of the national banking system he followed its his- tory down to the present day and at each period of change or development explained the contributory effect on business. It was an intensely interesting treatment of a subject with which women are not credited with being so well informed as men and its devel- opment by a banker of the experience that even the least informed of his auditors comprehended the relation between banking and business as nev- er before. Rev. Reed O. Steely to Continue in The Ministry. Two weeks ago the Rev. Reed O. Steely announced that he was an as- pirant for the Republican nomination for Assemblyman from Centre coun- ty. Since that time the gentleman has changed his mind about taking a fling ing tc the active ministry. Inas- much as he has been located in Belle- fonte as long as the assignment reg- ulations of his church permit a min- ister to remain on one charge it is apparent that the decision means the residential loss of Rev. Steely to Bellefonte. Certainly that is a very regrettable matter. It will also mean that he will relinquish his active work in the Farmer’s National bank. While Rev. Steely has decided to remain in the active ministry, no as- the Central Pennsylvania conference of his church would remove him so far from Bellefonte that he cannot be in frequent and intimate contact with the Farmers National of which he is president and expects to remain in such position. To Apply Original Name to “Acid Phosphate.” Farmers of Centre county who buy fertilizers will be interested in learn- ing that acid phosphate has had its name changed, declares county agent, R. C. Blaney. For many years the term, acid phosphate, has been applied to a fer- tilizing material which is neither acid in nature nor does it impart an acid reaction to the secil on which it is used. It has been felt desirable, therefore, to get away from the mis- nomer which is responsible for the general impression among farmers ial will bring about an acid condition in their soils. : In changing back to the original rame, superphosphate, the fertilizer industry, editors, agronomists, exper- iment station directors, and others have voiced their approval. The or- iginal name is descriptive of the con- tents of the fertilizer, whereas the only excuse for the word acid is that sulphuric acid is used on phosphate rock to make the phosphorus avail- able for plants, but the acid does not remain as such in the finished fertil- izer. State College Woman Arrested for Shoplifting. Mrs. A. H. Martin, a cook at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, was placed under arrest on Saturday night on the charge of shoplifting. A search of her room revealed fem- inine wearing apparel stored in two cedar chests, eight grips and bureau drawers to an estimated value of close to five thousand dollars. At a hear- ing before Squire Dale, on Monday, the woman was held in $2000 bail for court. Unable to furnish bond at the time she was brought to the Centre county jail, but on Wednesday a bond was filed and she was released. —The Society of Friends in Centre county is making arrangements for a big reunion to be held at the Friends church in Halfmoon township on Wednesday, July 18th. Half a cen- tury ago this religious society flour- ished in Centre county, especially in Bellefonte, in the neighborhood of Unionville and in Halfmoon township. In the latter section fifty per cent or more of the residents were members and they were able to build their own church and school. But as the years passed the younger generations, through marriage, became allied with other churches, and today the society is limited to the older members. fonte business man, has been confined to his home on Bishop street for the past ten days.

The Centre county League of Wom- en Voters, beautifully gowned, re- vived in spirit, and hopeful of the fu- ture, gathered at the Brockerhoff ho- tel in this place, Wednesday evening, to banquet and listen to the revised principles and policies of the parent organization. About ninety ladies were present and a dozen or more gentlemen, who were their guests. It is of interest to note that when the time for coffee and cigars and the post prandial offerings arrived there was not even a cigarette in evidence. That indicated that the League has not thought it necessary, as yet, to hypo itself with young blood. Mrs. Robert Mills Beach presided and introduced Mrs. Thomas Ross, of Doylestown, who is a director of the State organization and came here especially to launch the movement to give regional representation in the State Councils. Mrs. Ross spoke at length on the principles and policies ‘of the League, explaining them most carefully and emphasizing its objec- tives as being wholly non-partisan be- cause they should be nothing else with an all partisan membership. She is an exceedingly charming talker, knows her subject and punctuated it with just enough subtle quips to bring her audience into thorough interest in her subject. : Miss Gertrude Wetzel, of Ithaca, N. Y., a League organizer, exhibited a model of a voting machine and ex- plained its operation. The League has endorsed the amendment to be voted on next November that would legalize but not make mandatory the use of voting machines in Pennsylva- nia. Other speakers were Roy Wil- kinson, who was called upon to ex- plain the duties of the office he has recently been given, and Judge M. Ward Fleming, who undoubtedly spoke the whole truth and nothing but the truth when he said that he would have given anything under the blue canopy of Heaven for voting ma- chines, with their rapid recording of results, during Some well remembered anxious moments he had last fall. : Really it was a delightful gather- ing, interesting in every phase, care- fully arranged and most successfully carried out. Mrs. Adolph Fauble was chairman of the committee in charge. ———————————— Sutton Engineering Co. Stockholders to Meet Next Monday.
