—Dauphin county has repelled the
ea of buying new voting machines.
'e are not surprised at that. Like
m Blaine said on the occasion of his
ly visit to Bellefonte, “that would
a work of supererogation.” Dau-
in county has a very efficient
ting machine now. The late Hile
eyer, a Bellefonter, was the inven-
r of the mechanical one. The late
die Beidleman was the inventor
the one that has been in use in

—John Gulliken, treasurer of the

VOL. 74.
Grundy Still Surprising and Amusing
Mr. Grundy continues to astound
the Senators and amuse the public
with his testimony before the lobby |
committee of the Senate. At the
session of the committee, on Wed- |
‘| nesday of last week, he gave details |
of the movement which led up to the !
nomination of Albert L. Watson, of |
Scranton, for the office of judge for |
the Middle district federal court,
which acquires interest from the
statement of President Hoover that
“no longer shall public office be re-
garded as political patronage but it
shall be regarded as public service,”
and that “his primary responsibility
was to select men for public office
who will execute the laws of the |
United States with integrity and |
without fear, favor or political col-
lusion.”
According to Mr. Grundy, the se-
lection of Mr. Watson was made at
a luncheon in his apartment in a
Washington hotel at which his
guests were Senator Dave Reed,
Governor Fisher, W. L. Mellon, of
Pittsburgh. State Chairman Mar-
tin, of the Republican State commit-
tee; Attorney General Woods and
others. It is only just to say that
this was not the Washington lunch-
eon which wags paid for out of funds
of the Republican State committee,
for Mr. Grundy assured the commit.
tee that he paid the expenses of this
feast himself. But it requires no
great measure of perspicacity to see
that the result of the conference was
to pervert public office to the low
level of political patronage.
Mr. Grundy likewise gave the
committee an interesting account of
the nomination of Warren G. Hard-
ing, for President, in 1920. Con-
trary to common understanding and
belief Senator Lodge was responsible
for that event rather than the late
Senator Penrose, though Penrose
had a sympathetic interest in
the matter but was too sick to give
it practical expression. The inference
to be drawn from this is that Grun-
dy, himself, expressed the voice of
Pénnsylvania in that midnight con-
ference and wants the public to
know it. He repeated the story of
his activities in collecting campaign
finds and raised the amount he se-
cured for the Hoover campaign to a
round million. dollars.
— The Anthracite Co-operative
association is moving on the right
track now. It is appealing to the
Interstate Commerce -Commission to
order a reduction in freight rates.
Mr. Pinchot Will Think It Over
. Former Governor Gifford Pinchot
has returned from his cruise in the
South seas full of vigor and curios-
ity. He had a wonderful time dur-
ing six months of exploration znd
investigation and discovery. On cae
island he saw 300 pound land turtles,
sat beside sea lions and held mock-
ing birds in his hands. He fished
and loafed and sailed about from
one place to another as any other
perfectly contented man with plen-
ty of money and leisure might and
discovered that the women in that
part of the world do not wear grass
skirts. “You see more grass skirts
in the movies than in real life,” he
said. But there must be some there
for he brought a few home as sou-
venirs. :
But however interesting his exper-
iences during his absence from Penn-
sylvania, they failed to divert his
mind from the Keystone State poli-
tics. He is interested in Mr. Vare
and his progresstoward a seat in the
Senate and curious as to public re-
action to Mr. Grundy’s testimony
before the Senate Lobby committee.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Grundy’s timely “flop” to him in the
primary campaign for Governor in
1922 gave him the nomination and
made him a figure in the political
life of Pennsylvania. But Grundy’s
revolutionary notions as to the
composition of the United States
Senate might sever a friendship
which never could have had a
stronger foundation than expediency.
It is safe to predict, however, that
Mr, Pinchot will promptly resume
acivity in politics and that he will
make things lively for his friends
and interesting for those who don’t
agree with him. On his arrival in
New York, where he came by rail
from San Francisco, he said, “Iam
very anxious to meet a number of
my friends and talk over matters
with them.” It is revealing no se-
and enemies in the Republican par-
cret - to say that both his friends
ty share in his anxiety in this mat-
ter. His conversations with friends,
and he has hosts of them, may prove
very significant to his enemies. If
he gets into the fight for Governor
next year it is safe to say that “the
fur will fly.”
«The wets of Pennnsylvania
are organizing for a real fight and,
it might be added, for a probable
defeat.

Confusion Among Tariff Tinkerers
!
The retirement of Senator Wat-
son, of Indiana, as majority floor |
leader of the Senate, is additional |
evidence of dispair with respect to
the tariff bill. A few days ago Sen- |
ator Reed, of Pittsburgh stated that |
the measure is dead and was sharply |
criticised by his Republican as-|
sociates for his infidelity. But!
the action of Watson is full concur-
rence in his opinion. Of course Mr.
Watson has an excuse. He says that
his nerves are shattered and that he
needs a three week’s rest to avert a
complete breakdown. Under the ad-
vice of his physician, therefore, he
will go to Florida for that period and
leave the duties of leadership to an-
other sick man, Senator Jones, au-
thor of the “five-and-ten.”
It will be recalled thatata White
House breakfast, a few weeks ago,
Senator Watson informed the Presi-
dent that it is impossible to pass the
tariff bill during the special session.
Later ' on the same day Senator
Smoot assured the President that it
was not only possible to pass the
measure during this session but that
it could be put through the Senate
by the 20th of ‘November. The stat-
ment of Senator Reed and the action
of Senator Watson were intended to
refute this prediction. Mr. Reed is
devoted to the high tariff policy and
would not give up while there is
hope and Watson, the leader of his
| party on the floor, would not aban-
don his post if there were a chance
of success.
Possibly, however, in both cases,
the “wish is father to the thought.”
Senator Reed and Senator Watson
want the tariff bill as it was writ-
ten by the Senate committee or they
don’t want any tariff bill at all
When the Democrats and insurgent
Republicans mutilated the measure,
first by striking out the flexible pro-
vision and subsequently writing in
the debenture provision, that in-
fringement upon the prerogatives of
the Pennsylvania Senator and other
Senators from manufacturing States
so completely disgusted Reed and
Watson that they determined to
“strike.” But they are not likely to
succeed in their purpose to kill the
bill. Rumor has it that the Presi-
dent has joined the coalition.

NO BIG SURPRISES IN
TUESDAY'S ELECTION
Election day was rather quiet in
_ Bellefonte, considering the fact that
there were several interesting local
contests, but the final results show-
“ed no surprises. On the county tick-
‘et John G. Love was re-elected for
ia second term as district attorney
{by 871 of a majority over Philip
{ H. Johnston, which was the closest
contest on the ticket. Superior
i court judge William H. Keller had a
| total of 6433 votes, Judge Baldridge
| 5359, while Henry C. Niles the Demo-
| cratic candidate, had 3224. Love's
total vote was 5701 to 4830 for
Johnston. For jury commissioner J.
C. Gates had 5786 votes and J. C.
Condo 3770.
In Bellefonte Hard P. Harris was
re-elected burgess over. Harold D.
Cowher, the Peoples’ party . candi-
date, by a vote of 953 to 515. O. A.
Kline defeated Charles A Schaeffer,
for tax collector by a vote of 910 to
654.
W. J. Emerick and Thomas B.
Beaver, being unopposed, were elect-
ed councilmen in the North ward.
| In the South ward William Night-
| hart was elected over John Mignot
by 138 of a majority while the men
chosen in the West ward are J. C.
Jodon, Republican, and E. E. Ardery,
Democrat.
In the North ward Mrs. Anna Wil-
kinson was elected judge of elec-
| tion over Mrs. Ruth Bower.
Philipsburg was the only place in
the county where the voting ma-
chine proposition was submited to
the people and it carried in every
ward, the total vote in the borough
being 561 for to 322 against.
At State College the proposal for
a bond issue of $10,000, for the de-
velopment of a borough park, was
defeated.
Following is the complete returns

SPAWLS FROM THE KEYSTONR
—A wild cat chasing a deer was the
unusual sight witnessed by a party of
motorists along the State highway
above Laurelton State Village recently.
Mrs. Lee Francis Lybarger and a party
of motorists noticed the chase just as
it was growing dark and they followed
with the aid of a spotlight until the
animals disappeared in the bushes.
—Pong Bing, of the Wah Hing Com-
pany, Pan Choa Chin, China, within a
few days will receive from General Ed-
ward Martin, State Treasurer, a check
for $1.69. Nine cents of this amount is
interest, and the $1.60 is the sum for-
gotten by Pong Bing when he returned
to China. It was escheated to the State
by the Farmers’ Deposit Bank of Pitts-
burgh. : Lh
—Drilling operations for another test
gas well on the C. B. Howard company
land in Cameron county will soon be un-
der way by the Pengasoil company.
This company recently made history
and surprised geologists when they
brought in a gasser that produces be-
tween 140,000 and 200,000 cubic feet of
gas a day. The first well is within a
mile of the McKean county line.
—The Public Service Commission has
rejected an application of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad’s bus subsidiary, the
Pennsylvania General Transit company,
to operate a motor bus line between
Tyrone and Grampian. A number of
protests were entered against the appli<
cation, and the Commission, in refusing
a franchise, held that the territory was
being amply served by existing carriers.
More than 900 employees of the
Goodyear Shoe Company at its two
Carlisle plants will benefit under a
$900,000 group insurance policy placed
with the Metropolitan Insurance com-
pany, of New York. The individual
policies carry a = $1,000 death benefit
and $7.50 per week for sick and acci-
dent contingencies. It was effective No-
vember first and for fifteen days the ex-
penses will be maintained on a coopera-
tive basis. :
~The claim of Blair W. Toy, of Kit-
tanning, presented to L. E. Christley,
of Butler, referee under the workmen's
compensation law, is a bit novel in
character. Toy wants the West Win-
field Coal Co., to pay him the amount he
was required to expend in replacing a
set of artificial teeth broken in a fall
through a roof when employed by the
company. Toy received compensation
several weeks for injuries to his head
and face, but nothing for the broken
teeth.
—Fimerson Godown, of Millville, N. J.,
several days ago sent to General Edward.
Martin, State Treasurer a $2 bill issued:
August 1, 1861, by the Northwestern bank.
of Warren, Pennsylvania. - “I presented.
this piece of money at a Philadelphia
bank,” Mr. Godown wrote, ‘but they re-
fused payment and suggested that per-
haps the State Treasury might cash it.”
The Northwestern Bank of Warren is not
in existence, and N. Brown, president,
who signed the bill, has been dead for
many years.
—A suit for $10,000 damages for per-
manent disfiguration to his face and
body, alleged to have been due to an au-
to crash, was filed in the Dauphin coun-
ty court at Harrisburg, on Friday, by
Solomon Hurwitz, attorney for Leopold
Stern, Brookline, Mass. Mrs. Annie
Stern, wife of Leopold, also claims $10,-
000. Both allege disability. Stern says,
acid from the battery caused the disfig-
urations. The suit is brought against
Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Spackman, Philips-
burg, Centre county. The accident oc-
curred several months ago at Front and
Shamokin streets, Harrisburg. 3
—More than 2,300,000 corn plants in 629
fields located in 181 townships of twen-
ty-eight counties were examined for
European corn borers this summer by
scouts of the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture. This scouting work as
reported by the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try shows infestations in 376 corn fields
or about one of every five examined.
Counties in which more than one-third
of the fields were infested include Beaver, -
Centre, Clarion, Clinton, Crawford, Erie,
Lawrence, Mercer and Venango. In Cen-
tre, Clarion, Lawrence and Venango, the
infestation was heavier than that found
in 1928 while in Beaver and Clinton, the
infestation was less.
—Cutting off her son with $5 in her
will, Mrs. Madeline Alexander, of Pen-
field, Pa., bequeathed him the wide,
wide world in which to make a living.”
The instrument, filed for probation at
Media last week, disposes of an estate
valued at $50,000 and upwards. Mrs.
Alexander died August 10 last in: Phila-
delphia. The disinherited son is Sidney
Alexander, of Englewood, N. J. In her
will his mother wrote that she was
prompted to take this action in return
for “his unnatural unkindness and be-
havior to me.” A daughter, Miss Elsie
Alexander, is named as beneficiary of
the entire estate. The will was drawn
up by Mrs. Alexander, September 232,
1926.
: —Eking out an existence in a hog
pen, the sordid tale of a family of six
came to the attention of -Northumber-
land county authorities. Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Slickinger and four children,
have been living since last spring in a
hog pen on an old farm near Bear Gap,
and the home-life is one of sickness,
skimpy meals and unhappiness. Wel-
fare societies of the county were
brought face to face with the plight of
the family and planned immediate steps
to bring relief to the parents and their
children. It has been learned that
Slickinger and his family formerly liv-
ed at Kulpmont. Last spring he lost
his job, and finally the family funds
became so low that he was forced to
move. He chose the hog pen and the
six persons have been living in it since
that time.
—Pong Bing, of the Wah Hing Com-
pany, Pan Choa Chin, China, within a
few days will receive from General Ed-
ward Martin, State Treasurer, a check for
$1.69. Nine cents of this amount is in-
terest, and $1.60 is the sum forgotten by
Pong Bing when he returned to China.
It was escheated to the State by the Far-
mers’ Deposit of Pittsburgh. The China-
man, Pong Bing, some years after he re-
turned to - China remembered his $1.60
and wrote to the Pittsburgh bank, which
by that time had turned over the money
to the State Treasury. ~The bank noti-
fied the Board of Finance and Revenue
of Pong Bing's demand for his money,
and “the refund was authorized. The
