TENAFLYS YIGILANTES SO>VIGILANT THEY
KEEP THE RESIDENTS INDOORS O'NIGHTS

ENGLEWOOD, Oct. 15.--There is
no curfew in Tenahy, a little village
near here. Yet the highways, and
particularly the byways of that hand
some hamlet, and most particularly
the dark and lonely ways leading into
it are strangely deserted these beau
tiful moonlight nights. The macadam
roads ring no more with the evening
laughter of children. The shadows no
longer murmur with lovers whisper
ings. Shadows-sh-sh! Even the
houses seem to have taken on an air
of mystery and present silent fronts,
sides and in many cases backs to the
enveloping darkness.
The question is, of course, What
is this nocturnal terror that is OPP
pressing Tenafiy?
The answer was highway robbers,
but is now too much constabularyl
Yes. believe it or not, this unfor-
tunate village is being terrorized by
its own police force! That is, the
new vigilance committee. 1t was or
ganized a few weeks ago with the
purpose of ending the burglaries and
hold-ups that were making that Sec
ton of the country almost unlivable
in. The members styled themselves
mined that they must stop all pedes-
TRANS and all vehicles using the roads
after midnight and discover their
identity and their business. The plan
went into operation last week.
The very first night one of the
deputies saw a suspicious looking
character lurking in the shadow of a
house. He accosted him, policeman
fashion.
For whom are you searching.

I'm lookin' fer a soft snap like

upon the outraged deputy was dis
armed and relieved of his watch and
pocketbook.
But the climax was reached at the
second hour of the fourth day. There
was a dance at Tenafly Hall on
Wednesday evening. John Parsell, of
Closter, station or two above. drove
down in his buggy and took Miss
Van Valen. of Tenafly, to the ball. 1t
was a right smart affair and lasted

Judge Osobrne, Addressing
Prison Association, Points
Out Flaws in Jail System

Flaws in the present-day prison sys-
tenn were pointed out by Judge Harry
v. Osborne, of the Court of Common
Pleas, in a paper read by him this
afternc on before the American Prison
Association at Indianapolis.
"That we have a criminal problem
today is largely due to the failure OF
society to discover and prevent those
contributing causes which lie at its
root and to it's failure to provide for
adequate treatment of the offender
he said. IF we are to secure prac-
teal results we must consider the
problem from its psychological and
medical, as well as it's legal, aspect.
ut has been estimated that there
are some 100000 prisoners in the
United States, but the problem is far
greater than can be measured by
mere numbers.
Before sentence is pronounced, a
careful examination of the prisoner
should be made by medical and psy-
Geological experts, in order to ascer-
tain to what extent the act was due
to deliberate intent or was the result
of heredity. unfortunate environment,
physical abnormality or mental de-
ficinecy. The result of this examina-
ton should be laid before the judge
to assist him in reaching proper
conclusion in disposing of the case:
He could then act intelligently and
discriminate between the defective.
the first offender and the habitual
criminal.
Men cannot be tortured into good
ness. The knowledge which we have
gained through our experience in the
past, in conjunction with the inteili-
gent interest now being manifested in
this subject. will modify the action of
the courts and beneiieially affect the
meahods of treatment and manage
ment of prisoners in our institutions
to the ultimate benefit OF both society
and the individual"

CANDIDATES ARE

Wilson League Campaign Head
Hits at Quinn, NUM-

Branding as usurpers the three men

Democratic Principles" Bernard W.
Teriinde. chairman of the campaign
committee of the Woodrow Wilson

the following circular.
I'VE would have you know that the

of said candidates are: Harry $.

William NUM-, 604 Bergen street, and
Jacob Stein, 80 Brunswick street, all
of this city.

MORE PUPILS IN
ORANGE SCHOOLS
Superintendent's Report Shows
Increase in Enrolment and
Percentage of Attendance.

That the attendance in the Orange
public schools is on the increase des-
pite the handicap under which the
years work was started, was shown
last night by Superintendent of
Schools James II. Muir in his report to
the Orange Board of Education.
At the Orange High School there are
BOG pupils. more than have ever before
been enrolled at that institution. The
night school boasts an enrolment of
800. Mr. Muir called attention to the
fact that during the past month the
records showed an average attendance
of $685. per cent, which, he stated, was
the highest average recorded since his
appointment.
Commissioner Kelly last night held
up payment of bill OF $66 for three
new typewriters for the commercial
department. He was finally joined In
his opposition by Commissioner Bee
gle. Both objected on the ground
that the three machines are all of
the same make. being of the opinion
that the pupils should be taught to
use as many of the different makes
as possible 1t is likely that substi-
tutes of other makes will be ordered.
Edward Schilling was appointed to
fill the coming vacancy by the resig-
nation after Christmas of Mrs.
Martha F. King, director of depart
ment of drawing in the high school.
In rendering her resignation Mrs.
King announced her intention of en-
gaging in magazine illustrat ng. Miss
Mae Faatz and Miss Jane Hunt were
appointed as instructors in the COM
mercial department of the high school
and the Lincoln Avenue School kim

which is not busy thoroughfare at
any time of day, and certainly not at
o'clock in the morning. Thinking
over the pleasures of the evening, he
began to doze.
Suddenly he was awakened by a
voice commanding him in no uncer-
tain tones to halt. He saw dimly the
figures of two highwaymen at his
horses head. "Robbers" he thought,
and, snatching up his whip, gave one
of the men a savage lash across the
face. The man uttered a yell of pain,
and Parsell took the opportunity to
leap from the buggy to a clump of
bushes. His ASSISTANTS opened fire at
his vanishing form, but of the four
shots fired none found its mark.
1t seems too good to be true, but the
bushes in which Parsell crouched
trembling grew on the lawn surround
ing the house of a Mr.. Ambush. This
worthy householder, aroused from
peaceful slumber by the shots and
urged to action by his wife, picked up
his revolver and proceeded to pune
