BRIGHT FUTURE PICTURED
FOR BELLEFONTE CENTRAL.
Director T. D. Geoghegan Talks at
Kiwanis Luncheon on Future
of the Road.
Coming direct to Bellefonte from
an important business trip to New Or-
leans T. D. Geoghegan, a director of
the Bellefonte Central railroad, was
the guest of honor at the Kiwanis
luncheon, at the Brockerhoff house,
on Tuesday, and took advantage of the
opportunity to make public his pre-
dictions as to the future of the Belle-
fonte Central railroad. In his talk
Mr. Geoghegan confirmed almost in
detail the story published in the
Watchman almost three months ago,
which at that time was “real news”
to many people in Bellefonte and Cen-
tre county.
The subject of Mr. Geoghegan’s re-
marks was “The Past, Present and
Future of the Bellefonte Central Rail-
road.” He explained that for many
years, from 1892 down to date, the
Bellefonte Central had been known as
a stub-line railroad, with no outlet
but the Pennsylvania, at Bellefonte.
That the rates to and from the Belle-
discriminatory against all receivers
and shippers along that line, and the
effect of such a condition was to de-
tract from the development of either
the receivers or shippers along the
line and of the railroad itself.
He also spoke of the recent fight
before the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission and the Public Service Com-
mission, wherein the shippers secured
practically 100% relief as to rates for
the future, and explained how it
would benefit such receivers and ship-
pers, resulting in prosperity for the
Bellefonte Central railroad, making
a brighter outlook for the little line,
and all those persons who use it. Af-
ter detailing present conditions along
the line, he then went into the future
plans for the road, the gist of which
indicates that they are going ahead
with the plans to build the six miles
from State College to Fairbrook, and
going ahead with plans to operate the
Fairbrook branch, and are prepared
to negotiate with the Pennsylvania
railroad for trackage rights from
Stover to Tyrone. This would give
the Bellefonte Central a through line
from Bellefonte to Tyrone.
Further, taking up the proposed
plans he confirmed many of the ru-
mors that have been persisting
around Bellefonte over the past eight
months or a year, that the Bellefonte
Central expects to extend its lines
eastward for a physical connection
with the New York Central.
He further explained that the Belle-
fonte Central is the last remaining
hope of Centre county for competitive
railroad service, pointing out that in-
dustries have avoided Bellefonte and
loeated elsewhere on account of lack
of such service. While labor condi-
tions have been ideal, large indus-
tries have refused to locate where
there is service by only one railroad.
The only way in which Bellefonte can
develop in an industrial way is to
have better facilities in way of a com-
petitive line.
He stated that the Bellefonte Cen-
tral is proceeding in a concise and
orderly way to carry out all these
plans, and while it realizes that there
will be a certain amaunt of opposition
from the Pennsylvania, it is proceed-
ing right along, convinced of the just-
ness of its cause, and with no doubt
of the ultimate outcome before the
Public Service Comimssion and the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
After lunch, Mr. Geoghegan indi-
cated that details concerning the plans
of the eastward extension would be
forthcoming very shortly after the
hearing of the westward extension,
which is scheduled for Bellefonte on
April 4th. While the Bellefonte Cen-
tral has been more or less the butt
of ridicule in the past, ix this vicinity.
developments the last year or so
would idicate very clearly to farsight-
ed persons the necessity for whole-
hearted local support of this ambi-
tious little road to extend its line and
help put Centre county, and especial-
ly Bellefonte, on a new competitive
basis, insofar as the industrial situ-
ation is concerned. i
The Pennsylvania railroad is so
large that any business it may have
to divide with the Bellefonte Central
will not seriously interfere with the
financial condition of the former car-
rier, and its ability to perform proper
service; in fact the entering of the
Bellefonte Central into Centre county
and other counties in this vicinity
ought to convince the Pennsylvania
of the necessity of rendering better
service to the public than it has in
the past. :
To this end every public spirited
citizen, having the good of his town
and community at heart, should at-
tend the hearing in the court house
on April 4th, at 9.30 a. m., and find
out for his own satisfaction what the
actual details of this proposed devel-
opment will be.
—Mprs. George O. Benner, of Cen-
tre Hall, was taken to the Clearfield
hospital, last week, and on Wednes-
day submitted to an operation by Dr.
Waterworth for the removal of an in-
ward -goitre. The operation was ap-
parently a success, as Mrs. Benner 1s
getting along nicely and her condition
looks ‘promising for a complete recov-
ery. rs, Benner, before her mar-
riage, was Miss Margaret Miles, a
daughter of the late John Q. Miles,
of Martha Furnace, and has many
friends in that section of Bald Eagle
valley.

Bellefonte Lodge of Elks Robbed Last
Friday Night.
The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks was
burglarized, last Friday night, and
while the exact amount of spoils se-
cured cannot be definitely determined
members of the order estimate that
the robber or robbers got from $100
to $125 in cash, three slot machines,
a new electric lathe and rendered
useless a perfectly good cash register
which was badly broken in the at-
tempt to get at its contents.
And the peculiar thing about the
robbery it that it must have been
done by some one who had a key to
the front door as there was no evi-
dence anywhere of the home having
been broken into. Every window on
the first floor was locked but one and
the undisturbed dust on the sill of
that one was evidence that it had not
been used as a means of entrance.
The robbery evidently took place
between midnight and morning and
the man who committed it must have
worked with considerable stealth and
dexterity, as he failed to awaken Paul
Haag, the caretaker, who occupies
rooms in the rear part of the build-
ing. The man evidently forced the
cash register and took all the cash
in it, estimated at from forty to fifty
dollars, then afraid to break open the
three slot machines, carried them
away with him.
Just why he stole the electric lathe
is a mystery. It was a new piece of
machinery and had been installed on
the work bench in the basement on
Friday. It is just possible that the
taking of the lathe may have been
done to throw suspicion on an inno-
cent party.
Chief of police Dukeman is work-
ing on the robbery and developments
may be expected most any time.
Protesting Against the Removal of
Trains from Lewisburg Branch.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says
that protests against removal of
trains from the Pennsylvania railroad
branch running between Montandon
and Bellefonte are on the increase.
If the plans announced calling for one
train each way, daily, are carried out
in the schedule of the Pennsylvania
Railroad effective April 29, this see-
tion will be without passenger sarvice
from early morning until late in the
evening.
The towns along this branch are
Mifflinburg, Centre Hall, Coburn, Ris-
ing Springs, Millmont and Lewisburg.
Reports say that a large number of
patrons will be inconvenienced by the
curtailment of this service, including
commuters, business and traveling
men. Mail service, parcel post and
express deliveries it is said will also
be hampered.
Trains now leaving Bellefonte at
6.20 a. m. and 1. 30 in the afternoon
are to be eliminated along with the
one : leaving Montandon at 1.54 and
arriving at Bellefonte at 4.40 p. m.;
and only one train leaving Bellefonte
at 6.14 in the morning and Montandon
in the evening will be run.
Interesting Club Meeting.
Another of the Woman's club’s
very interesting meetings was held
Monday night in the High school au-
ditorium.
A short business session was fol-
lowed by brief talks by Mrs. Brouse,
in the interest of Polk institute for
feeble minded children; Miss Linn in
explaining the final Near East drive
to be put on in 1928-29, and by Mrs.
Beach for the support of the Gillette
resolution to resume negotiations for
the World Court. The Academy or-
chestra was then heard in a very
much appreciated and exceedingly en-
tertaining musical program of a half
hour, their variety of selections. and
special acts, showing great versatility
on the part of the boys. Then Judge
Fleming, the speaker of the evening,
in a terse fifteen minute talk, put be-
fore the women their responsibility
in being at the polls for the primar-
ies, then followed adjournment for the
scoial hour in the cafeteria.
Twenty women from Pleasant Gap,
ten from State. College and a dozen
or more from Howard, were ‘the
Bellefonte club’s guests for the even-

District Convention of P. O. S. of A,
The Central Pennsylvania Associa-
tion of the P. O. S. of A., for the dis-
trict comprising the counties of Blair,
Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, Clinton

P. O. S. of A. hall, Bellefonte, Sat-
urday evening, March 31st. §
All surrounding camps of the coun-
ty are urged to attend and partici-
pate in the parade which will form at

“Miss Pittsburgh” Before a Buffalo
Grand Jury.
Thelma Williams, of Port Matilda.
the “Miss Pittsburgh” beauty of 1926.
with her manager and side patings in
alleged fake beauty contests, yee
Grimm, appeared before the federal
grand jury, at Buffalo, N. Y., on
Monday, when the latter was} ar-
raigned to answer to the charge of
violating the Mann acf. An Altoona
and a Pittsburgh girl were present as
witnesses. Both Grimm and Miss Wil-
[1iams are still at liberty under bail.
Many Dairymen Attend Public Meet-
ing Last Friday Evening.
A large number of dairymen and
farmers from all sections of Centre
county attended the public meeting
held in the court house, last Friday
evening. The call for the gathering,
which was sent out by the Spring
Mills Dairymen’s League, did not spec-
ify what the meeting was for, but
the impression prevailed that it was
preliminary to the organization of a
| county association. If this was the
purpose, however, it was not brought
up at the meeting.
The court room was filled, most of
the crowd being from Pennsvalley,
when Mr. Walker, of Spring Mills,
called the meeting to order. After
stating the object he introduced B. F.
Fairchild, of Union county, who spoke
further as to the purpose of the meet-
ing and introduced Mr. Slocum, pres-
ident of the Dairymen’s League. The
latter gentleman talked nearly an
hour on dairying problems. The gist
of it was co-operation and its pre-
sumptive benefits to the farmer. It
would seem from his references to the
matter that the price of whole milk
in the New York market is to be
dropped a cent a quart early in April
and there is controversy between the
Dairymen’s League and the Sheffield
Farms Inc. as to who is responsible.
| = Mr. Slocum urged the dairymen of
Centre county to form units and join
the League in order to hold prices at
a point where there will be a living
profit in it for them. At his conclu-
sion the meeting was thrown open for
general discussion and u Mr. Gable,
from Union county, responded at some
length. He was followed by a gentle-
man in the audience from Bradford
county who said he is a Union man
and a farmer who had been forced to
quit his farm in order to make a liv-
ing at other pursuits. Several others
spoke.
from down near Madisonburg, who
suggested that the surplus milk in the
seasons when cows are in pasture and
producing at the highest should be
“fed to the hogs” rather than put on
the market with the consequent ef-
fect of driving the price down. Mr.
Zeigler’s suggestion was regarded
' rather lightly by the gentleman pre-
| siding, but it touched the very root
| of the trouble, because, after all, the
‘price of anything is regulated by the
| law of supply and demand. :
| At present there are three branche
of the Dairymen’s League in Centre
| county, one at Spring Mills, another
| at Rebersburg and the third in Nit-
| tany valley. The principal purpose of
' the League is co-operative marketing
of milk and all farm products, as well
as co-operation in the purchase of
about everything needed by the farm-
jer. ; .
W. R. Shope to Build New Sucker
| Stick Factory.
W. R. Shope has been given the
, contract for the construction of a new
building to be used as a sucker stick
and skewer factory for Calvin Troup
{ and Clarence Rine. The building will
i be approximately 18x30 feet in size,
plenty large enough for the present
equipment and to permit of some ex-
pansion.
For several years the factory was
operated in one of the buildings of the
Bellefonte Lumber company but when
that plant was leased to Claster &
Co., of Lock Haven, the new com-
pany wanted the room taken up
by the factory. Messrs. Rine and
Troup had made partial arrangements
to take over the brick building at the
Phoenix pumping station but because
of various reasons abandoned that
proposition.
Finally arrangements were made
with Mr. Shope to build a factory for
them and this he is going to do. While
the exact location has not been de-
cided upon it will be near his pres-
rent planing mill and the waste prod-
ucts of his mill will be used in making
skewers and sucker sticks. All the
machinery has been removed from the
plant of the Bellefonte Lumber com-
pany and has been stored out at the
Shope plant ready for installation as
soon as the new building has been
erected.
Penn State Glee Club to Tour Europe.
Announcement was made, on Tues-
day, that as a reward for diligent
service and twice winning the State
intercollegiate championship, mem-
bers of the State College men’s glee
club are to use an accumulation of
the club’s funds this summer in tak-
ing a seven weeks’ tour of Europe.
Richard W. Grant, director of the
club and the college music depart-
ment, said twenty-five men will be
taken on the trip.
According to the tentative program
the club will sail from New York on
July 28th. Arrangements are now
being made for concerts before Ro-
tary clubs of London, Paris, Brussels
and Amsterdam, as well as in other
cities on the continent.

Indications Favorable to Good Trout
Fishing This Year.
According to all indications trout
fishing, this year, should be very good
in Centre county. There was not
enough extreme cold weather dur-
‘ing the winter to freeze the mountain
streams, and the water was high
enough at all times to afford the trout
ample protection in any of the
streams in the county.
Most of the larger streams have
been fairly well stocked with trout
since the close of the fishing season
last year and this will help some. So
far this spring there have been no in-
dications of illegal fishing on any of
the streams. In past years the fish
hogs got in their work early with the
result that on.the opening day of the
season many of the best pools on
Spring creek, Logan’s branch and Fish-
ing creek had been scooped clean and
law-abiding fishermen had hard work
finding enough trout to make the
sport interesting. But the activities
of fish wardens and sportsmen’s asso-
