Judge Johnson in Conference With

Litigants in the Centre County

Bank Case.

Hon. Albert W. Johnson, Judge ofthe Federal court for the middle dis-trict of Pennsylvania, spent last Sat-urday afternoon in Bellefonte in con-ference with attorneys and other rep-resentatives of parties interested inthe Centre County bank case litiga-tion,

Judge Johnson came not to holdcourt here. His visit was entirely un-official, made with a view of acquiringmore intimate knowledge of the in-volved affair and with the probablehope that out of such a meeting ofthe parties in interest might comesome plan by which the problem couldbe solved without further costly litiga-tion.The conference was held in the law

library of the court house. Amongthose present were Rev. Reed O.Steely, John S. Ginter and John S.Dale, receivers of the bank; IvanWalker Esq., trustee in bankruptcyfor Mary C. Harris and the late JohnM. Shugert; Col. W. F. Reynolds,Robert F. Hunter, Fred Herman,Howard Holzworth, and John Mitchell,representing the creditor’s committee;N. B. Spangler Esq., counsel for thecommittee; Hon. Arthur C. Dale, coun-sel for the receivers; S. D. Gettig Esq.,counsel for Mrs. Harris and theShugert estate; Hon. Ellis L. Orvis,counsel for George R. Meek, FlorenceF. Dale and Andrew Breese; John G.Love, counsel for George A. Beezerand Geo. H. Yarnell, petitioners in thenew proceeding, and T. H. Harter,editor of the Gazette.The situation was discussed gener-

ally by the attorneys interested, withSome comments and interrogations byseveral of the laymen. There wasrancor, few pleasantries and an atmo-sphere so surcharged with personalanimosities that nothing but a miraclecould have brought anything veryhelpful out of it. Judge Johnson lis-tened with his customary patience andcourtesy until everybody who had any-thing to say had gotten through, thenMr. Spangler made the proposal thatall of the points in controversy be-tween all of the litigants be submittedto Judge Johnson for final adjudica-tion.. And that all parties waive alltheir rights of appeal from his finalfinding.Thereupon Judge Johnson suggested

that an agreement to that effect bedrawn up, signed by all the partiesand forwarded to him. Then he askedthe various attorneys whether theywould agree to such a proposal. Allof them answered in the affirmativebut Judge Orvis who said that becauseof the fact that none of his clients werein the conference he had no way ofknowing their wishes in the matterand was not justified in binding themto a proposal they had no knowledgeof. Judge Johnson then asked him ifhe would advise them to sign and heanswered in the affirmative.That is in substance about all there

was to the meeting.

It was brought out, however, thatthe attorney for the creditor's com-mittee is doubtful of the profit ofpressing the suit against Florence F.Dale or Andrew Breese any further.Both of them are out of the State andnobody seems to know just where aprocess server might find them. Be-sides, what they have to prey upon isprobably far less than “the fee bill”would permit the lawyers to chargethe creditors for doing the preying.Another interesting development

was the virtual admission that in thenearly five years that have elapsedsince the closing of the bank the cred-itors committee has apparently beenso interested in chasing questionablegold mines—two of which seem nowto be admittedly “salted” that theyhad nothing to report as to the $75,-000.00 in stock of the Whiterock Quar-ries that the late Thomas A. Shoe-maker assigned to the Centre CountyBanking Company. Which stock be-longs to its creditors. Col. Reynoldsis chairman of the creditor's commit-tee and Col. Reynolds is president ofWhiterock Quarries and Col. Reynoldswas present at the conference.

It would seem then that the onlyperson the creditors committee isreally after is Geo. R. Meek. Whatcertain of them are after him for will,no doubt, be explained in due time,Oné of it’s blatant members, fouryears ago, broadcasted the deceivingnews that Mr. Meek’s holdings in theWhite-Dugan Coal Co., would amountto alarge per cent. to the creditors ofthe bank. Today Mr. Meek’s holdingsamount to exactly as much as theydid fouryears ago and we are author-ized to say that he, without admittingany liability to the creditors of thebank, will present these holdings tothe gentleman if he can convert themin to 1% for the benefit of the credit-ors.

Mr. Meek has also authorized us tosay that no matter what the advice ofhis counsel might be in the matter ofsubscribing to the proposal made byMr. Spangler at the conference onSaturday he will not sign any agree-ment to waive his legal rights in acontroversy where unknowing credit-ors are being exploited by those whoseem to be interested more in gratify-ing personal animosities than servingthe best interests of the creditors.Of course there will be another

great hue and cry that “Meek is hold-ing it up again,” but the Dumb Dorasand over-stuffed furniture who broad-cast such stuff will only be playingintothe hands of a few machiavelian spirits who want it.

For nearly five years Mr. Meek hasbeen the red-herring they have drawn |across the trail to throw the creditorsoff the scent of their real interests inthis case. Years have been wasted andthousands of dollars in chasing threepeople. Two of them have apparentlyturned out to be “deaf nuts.” If thethird is finally shaker. down thecreditors are going to find that it isfar “deafer” than they have been ledto believe.

——-Several hundred Kansas rabbitshave been shipped into Bellefonte dur-ing the past month for release in thewooded sections of Centre county, andif they all live and multiply as rabbitsusually do there ought to be a goodcrop of cottontails for the huntersnext fall. Coming from Kansas therabbits ought to be a sober, industri-ous breed.

——During the past week or two ayoung man has apparently been fol-lowing women in certain portions ofBellefonte and stopping and staringthem in the face as they pass by onthe street. The individual is knownto the police and is regarded as per-fectly harmless, but some action willbe taken to prevent him continuing hisevening escapades, as they are of acharacter to frighten a timid woman,even though no harm is contemplated.

Streets.

The unusual condition of the streetsin Bellefonte last Friday and Satur-day made the operation of motor ve-

'hicles a very hazardous matter.The snow had all melted leaving an

underlying coat of ice exposed and therain of Friday night had washed thatclean of all grit that had accumulatedon it so that wherever there was iceit was about as treacherous as it couldbe.

Early Saturday morning a truck ofthe Bellefonte Fuel and Supply Co.undertook to deliver a load of coal

| to a patron on Half Moon hill. It had| just started up the hill road at the| borough home when the rear wheels| began to “churn.” The truck slipped| backwards, brakes and chains were| of slight avail and the load slid backdown the hill, across South Potterstreet and through the fence into theborough home yard. Nothing wasdamaged but the fence.A little later in the day another

truck of the same company was de- livering: coal to a home on east Linn{ St. It became uncontrollable on thei ice and slid onto the fire plug in front'of the Love property. The plug was| broken off and the truck had to bei Jacked up before it could be gotten{ back onto the street.| On Friday the City laundry deliverytruck was going down Allegheny| street, from Logan, and becoming un-| manageable slid around so on the ice!that one of the rear wheels collapsed.

The most serious accident reportedI was that in which Chas. S. Hughes, of{ the Academy figured. He was tryingito turn his Hudson sedan around on| the south approach to the Academy| building. There were no, chains on thewheels and when he backed out onto

{ the ice covered grass to make the turn| the heavy car started slipping down| over the campus. Realizing that he| couldn't stop it and was helpless Mr.| Hughes jumped out. The car slid ondown over the hill and dropped over aseven foot retaining wall at the rearof Miss Olive Mitchell’s home. Thearea way was not wide enough for itto fall clear down so it landed withthe rear end jammed against the sideof the Mitchell house and the frontup on the wall.

It was necessary to remove the twoposts supporting the roof of the back-porch before the car could be gottenout. The left side and top of the carwere completely ruined.————

Work Started on New Feed Line forKeystone Power Corporation.

The Watchman some weeks ago an-nounced that a new feed line for theKeystone Power corporation would beconstructed this spring from the PennCentral Light and Power company’shigh voltage transmission lines atTyrone down Bald Eagle valley toBellefonte. Work on this line has al-ready been started. The Penn Cen-tral will build the line from Tyroneto the Blair-Centre county line andthe Keystone Power corporation willbuild the twenty-five miles or morefrom the Blair-Centre line to Belle-fonte.As now planned the line will he

built down Bald Eagle valley a goodportion of the way, but just how farwill depend upon later developments.Residents of Patton township have ap-plied to the Public Service Commissionfor a charter for the Patton Electriccompany and it is presumed they willsecure their current from the Key-stone Power corporation. Should thisprove to be the case and satisfactoryarrangements can be made the lattercompany will build their high powerline across the Bald Eagle mountainfrom a point between Martha and Jul-ian to Buffalo Run valley, thence downthat valley to the sub-station south-west of Bellefonte. If, however, noarrangements are made with the Pat-ton Electric company then the linewill be built down Bald Eagle valleyto a point between Unionville andSnow Shoe Intersection, thence acrossthe mountain to the substation.To handle this extra circuit new

equipment will have to be added atthe substation and the entire cost isestimated at approximately one hun-dred thousand dollars. But it willgive the Keystone Power corporationtwo separate and distinct feed lineswhich should do away with all inter-ruptions to the service, as has beenthe case in the past with only onetransmission line.. While normallyboth lines will be in service eitherline will be capable of carrying theentire load, so that a break on one willcause no abatement of the service asautomatic switches will promptlythrow the load onto the other line.

The Groundhog Sure Did See HisShadow.

There will be no “ifs” and “ans”| about it this year. The groundhog( had boundless opportunity to see his| shadow on Wednesday, and now, ac-| cording to old tradition, back he goesto his burrow deep in the ground fori another six weeks snooze. We haveno protest to make against his hog-ship sleeping all summer, if he wantsto, but if we were superstitious enoughto believe that his seeing his shadowhad any influence on the weather, andWe are in for six more weeks of frigidatmosphere, we would register a kick.But the learned weather prognos-ticators have given assurance that thegroundhog has nothing i» do withmaking the weather; and their pre-dictions are at least as good as the

groundhogs. They said it would becloudy and rain on Wednesday and itwasn’t the one and didn’t do the other,so there you are. As to six moreweeks of winter weather, we refer youto the calendar, which says that win-ter ends on March 21st, which is al-Jos seven weeks from groundhogay.
