TO-DAY La a hunted fugitive from justice
ID In London.
He was located there today by a
well known Boston business man who
aaas been associated with him In sever
al OF his spectacular enterprises.
While his friends and agents were
.nfrculating reports of his being In
New York to raise funds. Of confine-
ment In a southern sanitarium the f.
pancier for whose arrest on a charge
'pf embezzlement warrants have been
issued, and for whom the police OF the
world are now looking. quietly gather
ed up his things, took every available
penny and every negotiable paper
in his office, valued at about $4,000.
and sailed for Liverpool On the Cunard
Liner Etruria February 22d.
Kings name was not entered on the
list OF passengers, and his presence
aboard the boat was not known until
the pilot had left. Then he made his
appearance and seemed to make no ef-
fort to hide his identity
He was recognized by a prominent
Boston business man with whom he
had been associated, and discussed his
plans and the outlook for the future,
intimating that he was going abroad
on business
At that time no warrant bad been
ISSUED. Inc the friend did not know
that King was in financial difficult
ties.
He and King left Liverpool togeth-
er and went to London together. It
was there that the friend learned a
few days ago, of the fact that King
had disappeared and that the police
were seaching for him. He communi-
Gated with his Boston lawyer, who no.
titled the police.
Tonight a cablegram was Received
from London saying that King was
stopping at a second-rate hotel and
quoting him as saying that he would
soon issue a statement explaining his
side OF the difficulty. He denies that
ne fed as a criminal and a y that he
Is innocent Of every charge. He
claims that If anything he is only a
debtor and mo- az embezzler. He ad-
mits that he is broke" but says that
III certain plans turn out he will be
able to make good his losses and set
tie with his creditors before any GRIM
1nal action can be taken. He says he
has communicated with his Boston
ounse and that they will at once
act in his behalf.
None of his lawyers in Boston to-
might would admit that they had heard
o their client, and non of his
agents or friends would ad-
init that they even know King was
IN London.
The police will at once communicate
with the London police and it is prob
able that King will be arrested tomor-
row n held for extradition.
Whether he can be extradited or not
is q question. His business affairs are
Il. such a shape that it is almost i'm |
possible. to learn anything from them,
and the receiver now in charge says he
cannot make head from tail.
If King persists in the claim that
he is only a debtor. the general i'm
is that the authorities will
nave a hard time proving embezzle-
ment, owing to the in. which
he conducted his affairs.-BostOn dis

THE LESSON OF A MEETING.

An event like the Republican Club
rally held as far back as October 20
should find no more than passing men
ton here But that rally developed the
fact that Palisade has some spirit and
that it is of the right sort. There was
a staggering amount of enthusiasm to
those Indifferent citizens who remained
away, and these should learn the lesson
that life without enthusiasm soon pals.
This rally also brought out the fact
that Palisade has some nightly fine tim
Der among its people. The speeches of
Messrs Dwiggins, Carson, Brady and
Quigley were models of their kind, and
these gentlemen deserve every credit for
the interest they displayed. Mr.. Dwig-
gins particularly interested the audience,
which was large, considering the stormy
night, and gave strong evidence of his
sterling worth as a thinker His work
was admirable from any standpoint
Such gatherings evidence more and
more the spirit of good citizenship, and
they should be held whenever occasion
demands.

THE ELECTION.

The election is over and a good,
strong man, human to the core, has been
chosen to preside over the destinies of
the American nation. Whatever may be
said of the causes that led UP to the de-
feat of Mr.. Bryan, himself an excellent
man, the country could not tie UP to his
theories of government. 1t has been
asserted by friends of Bryan that the
recent panic was brought about to effect
his DOWNFALL If this be true, it was
timed to the exact minute. With panic
on one year before the election, and
full recovery on the eve of it, what
voter would chance Organism or any
ism" against the possible recurrence of
hard times? The full dinner pail is the
great factor in American elections all
the time, Bryan, Debs, Hearst and all
of the others to the contrary notwith-
standing. Bryans election might not
have brought about more panic, but it
would have unsettled the country and
held business back while the wait was
on wondering what Bryan would do.
The results of the election are the
logical outcome of the inherent common
sense of the American people.

QUESTION OF TECHNOLOGY.

In a crowded Subway car recently
lady and gentleman were discussing sci
ence religion, when the lady remarked,
"The whole thing is question of term
inology.' The definition of Technology
in the Standard dictionary is: The art
or science of correct use and distribu
ton of terms; any treatise or thesis on
this art; orismology" The definition
of orismo1ogy is: "The Science Of def
nitions and of defining, especially of de-
filming scientific and technical terms"
Now, if the mysteries connected with
correct understanding of the several
science religions is merely a question
of "terminology,' and the definitions
mean anything at all, the ease with
which they may be understood is APP
parent.

IS MAYOR EDSELL DODGING?

The borough of Palisades Park, on
the plea that it cannot give to Pallsade
what it denies itself, has refused to po
lice the streets here. Ordinarily there
would be good logic in this were the
conditions the same. Palisade con-
tributes a good share of taxes to the
borough, and gets very little in return.
All will admit this The borough gets
taxes from the residents here to sup
port everything in Palisades Park, but
nothing virtually in Palisade. The Dor
ough is at no expense in Pal1sade, and
does not even furnish street sprinkler.
1t does furnish very unsatisfactory
number of street lights and a hose reel.
1t could we'll afford police protection in
Palisade, because it would tend to equal
ize things Here we pay out lot OF
taxes to support the borough, and the
village of Palisades Park gets it all.
All of the public improvements here
cost the borough nothing whatever. We
have no school facilities Why does
not the official head of the borough look
at the situation in a common-sense man
ner? He is a common-sense man, and
knows something of the law of equity.
He should realize that Palisade is en-
titled to some kind of recognition, but
when the subject is mentioned of help
ing Palisade, he side-steps the issue on
some ground or technicality What Pail
SADIE wants is results, not promises and
talk. 1t wants police protection and
should have it at the borough's expense.
No doubt of this. Is Mayor Edsell
