APPRAISEMENT FILED OF
A. R. McNITT PROPERTY.
! Coincident with the appointment
of the Bellefonte Trust company as
trustee of the estate of A.R. McNitt,
pending his return to Bellefonte or
the solving of the mystery of his
disappearance in February, 1929, ov-
er eighteen months ago, an ap-
praisement of his holdings was made
by Ivan Walker and H. P. Harris,
the same having been entered of rec-
‘ord in the register’s office in the court
house. The principal items of person.
"al property recorded inthe appraise-
ment are 1093 shares of the pre-
ferred stock of the Chemical Lime
company, 50 shares of the common
stock of the same company, 419
shares of the Sunbury Bridge com-
pany and 25 shares of the Bellefonte
Trust company.
In his safe deposit box were
found 2237 shares of some thirty or
more stocks which have no market
value. Mr, McNitt’s lumbering ma-
chinery, etc, were appraised by W.
R. Shope and George H. Yarnell and
the total value of the personal prop-
erty is given as $159,157.50. In ad.
dition Mr. McNitt has coal lands in
Armstrong and Greene counties, has
timber land in Walker township and
‘owns other real estate which will run
his estate up to $200,000, or over.
One thing was noticed when the
appraisement was made and that
'was the absence of any coupon
bonds among his stocks and other
! papers. People who claim to know
aver that Mr. McNitt owned some
bonds, although they were not able
'to say how many, and the fact that
none were found in his deposit box
|maturally is exciting interest as to
what became of them.
stood that the Bellefonte Trust com-
pany is now making an effort to find
out positively in regard to any pos-
“sible bonds. In this way it may yet
"be possible to solve the mystery of
his disappearance and also deter-
mine whether he is alive or dead.
TWO PENN STATE MEN
LEADERS IN BIG BUSINESS
Much public interest has lately
been aroused by James W, Gerard's,
former Ambassador to Germany, list
of the fifty-nine men who rule
' America. Ignoring political leaders
entirely, Mr. Gerard lists industrial
leaders in all lines, banking, steel,
' railroads, mining, public utilities,
amusements and journalism. In
this list he includes the name of
, Philip G. Gossler, president of the
{ Columbia Gas and Electric Corpor-
ation and lately placed on the board
of directors of the United Corpora-
tion. Mr. Gossler was a member of
the class of eighteen-hundred-nine-
‘ty, The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, and is known socially in Belle-
fonte where he visited during his
college days. His sister was the
‘wife of Lieutenant Pague, Com-
mandant at the college, and it is
doubtful whether there has ever
been there a more popular, hospi-
table host and hostess than Lieuten-
'ant and Mrs. Pague.
i Ambrose N. Diehl,
graduate, Department of Chemis
try, class of ninety-eight and vice
president of Carnegie Steel Com-
pany, has been appointed to a simi.
lar office in United Steel Corpora-
tion. Mr. Diehl is one of the alumni
trustees of The Pennsylvania State
College, re-elected last June.
