ANSE Bellefonte High Debaters Win Three Out of Four Contests. The debating teams of the Belle- fonte High school have started off well in their contests with teams from the schools of Tyrone, Philipsburg and State College. The question under debate is: Re- solved that the direct primary should be abandoned in State and Federal government. On the night of April 13 the Belle- fonte negative team won a unanimous decision in Tyrone. The same night the Bellefonte affirmative team de- feated the Philipsburg negative in Bellefonte; gaining a 2 to 1 decision. Last Friday evening Bellefonte’s negative debated the State College affirmative here and gained a 2 to 1 decision. Our affirmative debated in State College the same evening and lost to the debaters up there on a 2 to 1 decision. Tonight the Bellefonte affirmative will meet Tyrone negative here and our negative will journey to Philips- burg for a contest with the affirmative of that place. The Bellefonte teams are made up as follows: Affirmative: Kathryn Bullock, Louis Nichols, Louise Tanner, Alternate, Dorothy Wilkinson. " Negative—Louise Meyer, Donald Conrad, Peter Gray Meek. Alternate, Mary Rogers. Bellefonte having won three and lost one cannot come out worse than tied for first place, even if we lose both of the closing debates tonight.

Only one contact was given him:’and at 7.14 he was pronounced dead by Drs. Priestess and Hickok. Neither man had anything to say and as neither body was claimed both were buried in the penitentiary cem- etery. : Matakovich was convicted of the murder of George Greich, of Wash- ington county, because of alleged love for .Mrs. Greich, while Loftus killed Flora Terrell, a negress, during a These two electrocutions make one hundred and eighty-three in thirteen years. \ Nathan Kofman Awarded Mail Carry- | ing Contract.

First sergeant Clayton S. Martz, of Boalsburg, has been selected to represent Troop A, of the 52nd ma- chine gun squadron, in the honorary battalion which will sail for France, May 19th, to dedicate war memorials to the Twenty-eighth division, com- prising the National Guard Troops of Pennsylvania in the World war. Sergeant Martz has been in active service in the National Guard since 1917, when he enlisted in the Boal troop. He saw service with that or- ganization during eighteen months overseas and took part in all the ma- jor engagements of the Twenty-eighth division. Captain Harold D. Foster, the com- manding officer of the troop, was con- fronted with a difficult situation in the selection of the honor man on ac- count of the large number of men in the troop who, by reason of their ex- cellent merits, were qualified to rep- resent the State of Pennsylvania in the honorary battalion. Sergeant Wm. McAlevy, of Boals- burg, received the next highest per- centage and has beeen appointed as alternate. ‘The escort of henor will assemble in Philadelphia May 14th, and under- for go several days training before sail- (ing with the Pilgrimage of Pennsyl- vania’s World War Veterans from New York on May 19th.
