MAY REIMBURSE
CENTER COUNTY
Agreement With State to Sc
cure Payment Withheld
on Bounty Claims

Bellefonte, Pa. Feb. 25.-An echo
of the old notorious bounty frauds
in Center rcounty as awakened dur
ing the past week when the initial
steps were taken whereby Center
county expects TO secure reimburse
ment on bounty claims aggregating
perhaps $4,000.
Recently an agreement was effect
cd whereby the Commonwealth has
agreed to reimburse Center county
for such of the bounty claims pro-
hated by former Squire Hayes
Schenck. now serving sentence in
the Western Penitentiary at Rock
view because of bounty frauds, as
can beyond question be proved legal
1t will be recalled that officers
of the State Game Commission back
in 1915 arrested SQuirer sSchenck, of
Howard, on the charge of fraudu-
lently probating bounty claims us
ing certain pelts over and over again.
or raising the number of pelts ac-
tually submitted To him by trappers
and hunters for probate Following
his arrest the Commonwealth held
up payment on all claims probated
by SChenck and paid out by Center
county upon the legal evidence sub
mitted by the holders of probates
the entire sum aggregatinS $2.S71.
SChenck was indicted on some ten
charges by the grand jury at the
February term, 1916, before Judge
Henry c. Quigley, and found guilty
on one charge. An appeal was taken
for a new trial, but at the May
term, 1916. SChenck entered plea
of guilty TO certain of the indict-
mentS on the understanding that all
further prosecutions in connection
with the frauds be dropped. He was
sentenced to term OF from two to
three years in the Western Peni-
tentiary.
Following a recent understanding
to the effect that the Commonwealth
is willing to reimburse Center coun-
ty for all claims legally probated by
Schenck. Game Protectors l.. Woody
Kelly, of Dubois, and Charles Batch
eler. of Philipsburg, who handled
the bounty claims during the Hayes
Schenck trial, which was personally
conducted by Elmer J. Shoyer. dep
uty attorney general of Pennsylva-
mia, came to Bellefonte on Thursday,
and with the county commissioners
and District Attorney Furst, pro-
ceeded to the Rockview Penitentiary,
W re they interviewed the former
Justice of the peace. All the pro-
bates were gone over carefully and
SchenCk, who, following his con-
viction was stripped of his office.
checked up the entire list, designat-
ing just which probates were legal
and which fraudulent.
While the result of the interview
was not made public. it is stated
that the game commission officials
as well as the county officials were
satisfied SChenck was giving a true
statement and the entire matter will
be referred TO Secretary kalbfus. of
the State Game Commission. Upon
his decision will depend the amount
of. money the Commonwealth will
reimburse Center county, though it
is expected that this county viii re-
ceive something over $4,000 by the
agreement. and thus will be called
upon TO stand the loss only of such
bounties as were paid on fraudulent
claims.

SOME DEMOCRATS
WON'T GO ALONG
Philadelphia Record Objects
to Guffey as a Candidate
For Governor and Kicks

Evidences that the Democratic
conference on state ticket. issues
and party affairs at Philadelphta on
saturday was not as harmonious as
pretended and that the liquor issue
threatens TO make the same old
breach in the Democracy are piling
up. Various newspapers hint at
trouble inside of the organization
and the Philadelphia Record. the
big Democratic organ. saws that
some Democrats in PENNSYLVANIA
intend TO so 10 the President and
tell him a few things that reorgan-
ration bosses can hardly be expect
ed to confess.
The Record is not satisfied with
Acting Democratic State Chairman
ana Petroleum Administrator Jo-
seph F. Guffey for the gubernatorial
nomination: 1t wants National
chairman Vance c. Mccormick to
run. The Record says to-day:
The gubernatorial atmosphere
was by no means cleared at Satur-
days conference of Democratic lead
erS and workers from all sections of
the state, who, while united in the
nope that the Republican squabble
will give prospect of victory in No
vember. are generally agreed that
as yet they have no candidate for
head Of the ticket whose entrance in
the race would inspire the party
rank and file. In fact, il is admitted
that strong candidate is needed
even should the Republican factions
carry their fight to the polls and
third ticket be placed on the ballot.
With National Chairman Vance {.
Mccormick. Secretary of abor Will
liam r. Wilson and National Com
mitteeman 4. Mitchell Palmer ELI
minated by their own declarations.
much of the talk among the lead
ers centered on Acting State Chair
man Joseph I. Guffey. of Pitts
burgh. 1t was. however. the con-
sensuS Of opinion that Guffey has
not sufficient strength to make him
promising candidate under existing
conditions.
Many of those in Saturdays con-
ference are still of the opinion that
Vance c. Mccormick can be con-
vinced that it is his duty to repeat
the fight he made against Brum-
baugh four years ago. No man can
win the nomination unless he repre-
sents or unqualifiedly indorses the
policies of President Wilson. ANY
other candidate would be hopelesslv
beaten at the start, and by many
leaders il is hoped that the Presi-
dent can be made to realize that
Mccormick would come nearer to
filling the necessary requirements
than am of the men whose names
have been mentioned"

JUDGE PORTER TO
GET BIG SUPPORT
Prominent Democrats Among
Those Who Favor Renom-
ination of Pittsburgher

Men of all political parties, espe-
cially attorneys. who have been in
Philadelphia the last few days have
been going over the superior court
iudgeship situation and judging from
philadelphia newspapers the con-
census of opinion appears TO be that
Judge William u. Porter. of Pitts
burgh. who is an aspirant to succeed
himself. can count upon practically
unanimous bar Endorsement and
that his reelection is assured. 1t
was agreed in Philadelphia no law
yer of prominence is likely to take
the field AGAINST him and that it is
quite likely that the vote at the
primary will mean his election in
November without opposition: that
is, that he will poll the more than
so per cent. of the vote required to
assure his election.
Charles J. Reilly. of Williamsport,
one of the most representative men
at the bar IN that section of the
state; Charles a. Pagan. of Pitts
burgh, who for years has been
dominating factor in Democratic
politics as we'll as the possessor of
an extensive and lucrative law prac-
tiCe; Joseph O'Brien, of Scranton,
who has figured as chairman of
Democratic State gatherings and
whose admirers acclaim him as not
only the leader of the Lackawanna
bar but of his profession in north
eastern Pennsylvania, and others of
like prominence who participated in
the Eubernatorial conference, con-
idently predicted the reelection of
Judge Porter and said they were
working heartily in his interest.
The committee OF lawyers which
IS directing the canvass in Judge
Porter's behalf yesterday authorized
the publication of list of counties
in which the organized lawyers in
county bar associations have
adopted resolutions in support of
Judge Porter's candidacy for re-
election.
These counties include the follow
ing: Allegheny. Armstrong. Beaver.

Sergeant Home From
France Joins Veterans

Sergeant Reuben @. Bodenhorn, of
423 Nerbeke street, is the first Har-
risburg soldier to serve in France
and return to his home town. But
the sergeant didn't stay long. He is
gone again and is already on his way
to the front again.
Sergeant Bodenhorn gave his
family the surprise of their lives
when he turned up suddenly one
morning last week when they imag-
ined he was somewhere in France
with his command. He told them he
was on brief furlough and had re-
turned on business for the govern
ment. But he was home long enough
to be the first soldier of this war to
become member of Howard L..
Calder Post, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, which held a special meeting
last Monday evening to induct him
into the order.
Sergeant Rodenhorn enlisted in
the Regular Army last Nav and
quickly won promotion.

CHURCH UNITY
SAID NECESSARY
DR.. Bagnell Praises the Stand
Taken For Prohibition
Amendment

The fact that churches of every
denomination in Dauphin county
have united in n prohibition cam
paign was cited by the Rev. DIR.
Robert Bagnell in Grace Church last
night as evidence that complete
church unity is n possibility and
necessity. Think what the churches
have lost through pulling apart in
stead of together" he reminded in
expressing his conviction that unity
must eventually come. The old or
der has gone. Germany, France,
England. Russia and America will
never be as they We're, and the
church, too. must change. AS one
surveys the causes by which the
churches have split up into denom-
nations. they appear ridiculous"
DIR. Bagnell recently made a tour
of the camps and the universal as
sociating in Y. NJ. &. \. shacks of
men of almost all religions made a
great impression on him. I'VE have
been too much afraid of our car
pets to give our boys a chance" he
said last night. Might there not
have been too much stiffness. too
much starch in our way OF doing
thinEs?"
lie gave details showing that
many communities are not able TO
support so many churches, a notable
instanse being in one county in Mis-
souri, where twenty-seven churches
have been closed down. Il can see
a day" he predicted, when a COM
will enter a community as
experts and recommend what
churches shall get out and which
shall remain"
DR.. Bagnell emphatically' advised
that moving pictures be made more
of feature in church activities. At
present, he. pointed out, the industry
is wholly in the hands of men who
are out for profit and there is no
reason why the church should not
itself employ ii for profit inasmuch
as pictures can help in world saliva
