HOW PRISONERS PAY FOR
BREAKING AND ESCAPING.
Comparatively Few of Those Es-
caping Rockview Penitentiary
Evaded Recapture.
The recent escape of several pris-
;oners from Rockview penitentiary
impelled a Watchman reporter to
delve into the records at the court
house just to see how many pris-
oners have broken faith with the
officials at the penitentiary and
sacrificed their pledge of honor for
a fancied freedom, and we found a
great deal more than we expected
in more ways than one.
First, the records show that since
work was started on Rockview pris-
on in 1913 up to the present time
exactly 199 prisoners have escaped.
Of this number 166 were recaptured,
the most of them after only a few
hours or days of liberty. All of the
166 faced the Centre county court
on the charge of breaking and es-
caping, and 163 of them drew addi-
tional sentences aggregating the
enormous total of 465 to 882 years.
Centuries of confinement for only a
few hours freedom. Verily these
facts should cause every inmate at
Rockview to pause and ponder be-
fore even considering an escape.
Only two prisoners who faced a
Centre county judge escaped without
being given any additional time, and
they drew suspended sentences. One
prisoner, the first man to escape,
stood trial before a jury and was
acquitted, but that was before the
law was enacted putting the costs
of escaping prisoners on the coun-
ties from which they were original-
ly sentenced.
Of the thirty-three men who have
not been caught one is known to be
dead; one, who escaped in 1914,
was able to make his way back to
Italy and joined the army for serv-
ice in the World war. What be-
came of him then is not known. A
number of the 31 still unacccounted
for are known to be serving time in
prisons in this and other States
and detainers have been lodged
against them so that when their
terms expire they will be brought
back here for trial for breaking and
escaping. This leaves only a few
who have so far evaded recapture,
but it is quite likely they will be
caught some day and will have to
pay for their liberty with extra
terms in the penitentiary.
The greatest number of escapes
in any one year was in 1924 when
26 prisoners got away. The small-
est number in any year since the
prison has been filled up was in
1922 when only 3 escaped. The
number of escapes by years since
the prison was started is as follows:
1913 1
1914 4
1915 2
1916 6
1917 10
1918 7
1919 15
1920 10
1921 5
1922 3
1923 13
1924 2d
1925 21
1926 21
1927 21
1928 13
1929 15
1930 6
Total lain 199
Sentences meted out to escaped
prisoners ranged all the way from
a minimum of one and a maximum
of two years to a minimum of
four and a maximum of thirty years.
One man drew 10 to 20 years, one
9 to 18, one 4 to 12, one 8 to 10,
one 7 to 10, nine 5 to 10 and one
4 to 10.
The average cost of recapturing
an escaped prisoner, giving him a
court hearing and conveying him
back to Pittsburgh is about $130,
and on this basis the 166 captured
entailed an expense of $21,580. This
expense is distributed among the
counties from which the prisoners
were originally sent, and only a
very small amount has not yet been
paid over to Centre county.
WOOLRICH CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATED LAST WEEK.
The centennial celebration
Woolrich, that little town nine miles
‘below Lock Haven, was duly observ-
ed over the weekend with an ap-
propriate program. The town was
founded by John Rich, the pioneer
of the family in that section, as a
logical site for a woolen mill, and
during the one hundred years of its
existence the woolen mills have been
its only industry. In fact most of
the town is owned by the Rich
family and they have made of it a
place beautiful in every respect.
The town has never had any la-
bor trouble save one strike which
lasted twenty minutes. There has
never been a constable employed by
the village, and never been any
trouble with drunkenness. The 85
familes have 36 pianos, 31 victrolas,
71 other musical instruments, 58
radios, 84 bathtubs, 91 automobiles,
in addition to those owned by the
mills and by the Johnston bus lines,
The town has seven hogs, five cows,
23 dogs, 702 chickens and one lamb.
——The third annual institutional
farm tour for managers of State
institutions, under the jurisdiction
of the State Department of Wel-
fare,will assemble at Rockview pen-
itentiary next Tuesday morning, and
after inspecting the penitentiary
farms will visit State College then
proceed west. A brief divergence
will be made into Ohio to see some
of the State institutional farms
there.

State College $1884.00 less; Worth
township $1021.24 less; Snow Shoe
township $947.78; Halfmoon $735.00;
Bellefonte $718.23, and Curtin $539.16

THE NEW TAX LAW IS
BRINGING IN THE MONEY,
The new tax lawisnot a popular
act by any means, and whether
just or unjust, it is bringing in the
money, according to reports from
both the county commissioners’ and
county treasurers’ office.
As is now generally known tax
collectors are required to make re-
turn of their duplicates the first of
May to the county commissioners.
During the month of April, accord-
ing to records at the commissioner’s
office, about $18,000 in county taxes
were paid in, which was over three
times the usual sum. Because of
this fact the commissioners have
not been compelled to make over
about half the temporary loans they
made in former years, notwithstand-
ing the fact that damage claims
paid so for this year have been al-
most double those of last year.
When the county commissioners
certified the delinquent list to the
county treasurer it totalled $28,000
in unpaid taxes. Included in this
total were a few double assessments
and some exonerations which will
naturally reduce the amount. Since
the properties have been advertised
$10,000 or more have been paid in
at the county treasurer's office, and
it is confidently expected that con-
siderable more will be paid before
the hour of the sale, on Monddy.
Between one and two hundred
notices have been posted in ‘the
court house, representing alleged
delinquents whose whereabouts can-
and many of these
not be found,
properties will probably be allowed
to go to sale in order to get a
legitimate title thereto.
ESCAPED PRISONER
CAPTURED ON FRIDAY.
William Edwards, negro of Alle-
gheny county, escaped from Rockview
penitentiary about eight o’clock last
Thursday morning, and was caught
at Centre Hall. On Friday after-
noon. Edwards, who .was serving
two to four years for larceny, was
working one of the tricks
mowing wheat in a barn. On
off trick he slipped away and got
under cover on Nittany mountain.
He made his way to the railroad
somewhere between Oak Hall and
Linden Hall and there crawled into
a box car, When the freight train
stopped at Centre Hall one of the
crew thought he noticed a man
ducking behind the boxes in the
car. Knowing that a prisoner had
escaped he was suspicious enough
to slam the car door shut and tele-
~
phoned to the warden. When officers !
arrived the fellow turned out to be
Edwards.

BELLEFONTE CENTRAL R. R.
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Trackmen who have been putting
in shape the old Lewisburg and Ty-
rone railroad, from Fairbrook to
Stover Station, are finding it in
much better condition than expect-
ed, The rails are all in splendid
condition and, while it will require
some new ties to put the roadbed
in perfect shape the number isnot
nearly as large as contemplated. A
construction train was run over the
line, last Saturday, as far west as
Warriorsmark, and as the end of
the line is only about five miles
from the latter point it is evident
that good progress is being made.
Of course it will be some weeks
yet before the road will be open for
traffic, as new water tanks are be-
ing built at both State College and
Stover Station.
Q
BARN ON HUMES FARM
BURNED TO THE GROUND.
The big barn on the Humes farm,
southeast of Bellefonte, was burned
to the ground between two and
three o'clock on Tuesday morning.
How the fire originated at that hour
is so far an unsolved mystery. The
farm house is occupied by Russell
Lucas and family while farming of
the land is in charge of Thomas
Beaver. The latter does not believe
that the fire was the result of
spontaneous combustion, as the hay
crop had been in the barn a month
while the wheat was stored ten
days previous and was good and
dry when hauled in.
One of Mr. Beaver’s horses perish-
,ed in the flames. Four young cat-
tle on the farm were out in the
field and all the chickens were sav-
ed, The barn contained the season’s
crops, a big mow full of hay and:
forty-eight loads of wheat.
tion of the farm implements were
also burned. The barn, crops and
machinery were all fairly well cov-
A por-

The Logan fire company respond-
9% ed to a call for help but the barn
was too far gone to make any at-
tempt to save it, and the firemen
concentrated their efforts on saving
the house and out buildings by the
use of chemicals. The barn was
built about twenty-three years ago
to take the place of another one
destroyed by fire.
CARRIE NEIMAN BARN BURNED.
The barn on the Carrie Neiman
farm, in Union township, was de-
00 stroyed by fire between eight and
nine o'clock on Sunday evening. No
stock was burned but all the hay,
wheat and two loads of oats were
burned, as well as some farm im-
plements. The origin of the fire is
not known but some people who in-
vestigated it believed it was the
result of spontaneous combustion.
The barn was built within two
years and while not overly large,
was naturally in a good condition.
It was covered by insurance but
Miss Neiman had no insurance on
her crops or farm implements.

are boys and girls to add to the joy
of getting ready for a picnic, then
finally the day, after that the many
days in which they live over again
the exciting events of the picnic.

largest picnics in the county, and
this year promises to even surpass
any previous year. Centre county
automobile dealers are joining this
year which will add very materially.
i The committee is busy arranging
contests and entertainment. In ad-
dition to base ball,
horse shoe pitching, dancing, the con-
tests for boys and girls will be more
numerous and prizes more generous.
, Music will be furnished by the Boals- '
burg banjo band, a new musical
organization that has met with
{much favor by those who have
heard them.
Lay aside your work for August
14th and take the folks to Hecla

ROBBERS RAID HOME
OF Mrs. W. U. IRWIN.
Between 8 and 9 o’clock,on Wed-
nesday night of last week, robbers
entered the home of Mrs. W. TU,
Irwin, on Allegheny street, stole
two watches, $4.00 in cash and a
quantity of jewelry, the value of
which has not been made public.
Mrs. Irwin, at the time, was
sitting on the front porch at the
home of Dr. J. L. Seibert, just
across the alley. When she went
out she had left the front door open
but hooked the screen door and
gone out the rear way. The robber
or robbers had cut a hole through
it and unhooked the door, thus gain-
ing entrance without being seen by
anybody.
The money taken was from be-
tween the covers of a book where
Mrs. Irwin had placed it only a
short time previous after returning
home from a shopping trip down
town. After completing their job
the robbers left by the rear door.
