Young Walter
Goenann's
Trolley Talk

"The Palisadian" was fortunate
enough to secure on Thursday last an
interview with one of Grantwood's
most ardent and sincere -wishers
and well-workers, Walter Goemann.
Mr.. Goemann, although life cripple,
is a young man of the keenest mental
capacity and power.
Mr.. Goemann, in his utterances,
showed remarkably strong grasp
of the facts bearing on the borough 5
development, past and present. In
Thursdays interview he dwelt with
particular emphasis upon the Public
Service Railways plan, recently an
nounced, of fencing in its right of
way through the borough.
"The plan, as announced by the
railroad company" he said, "would
not only be detriment to the Dor
ough, but would work to the disad-
vantage of the railway itself. The
welfare of the railway is tied up with
the welfare of the borough: it is de-
pendent upon the proper development
of the community for its future in
crease of business. Its only possible
increase in revenues from this section
can come from the increase in the
number of passengers supplied by
this section.

Bank Defaulter's
Property Is Attached

In Thursdays Evening Record
occurred this significant item: "Clin-
ton H. Blake, president of the Citi-
zens' National Bank of Englewood
obtained yesterday 80. writ of at
tachment upon the property of Abram
Cornelius, jr., the cashier who dis
appeared with 81 900. e.
1t is learned on the best authority
that the bonding company for Cor
nelius have made good the loss to the
bank. The foregoing item thus APP
parently indicates that the loss is in
turn to be made good to the bonding
company through the action of the
bank against the defaulting cashier
estate.
The net result, therefore appears
to point to the diSmantling of the ex-
cashiers estate to the crippling of his
family, as we'll as himself. 1t is to
be hoped that this form of compul-
sorry mortgage will not gain any con-
siderable vogue. The foreclosure
comes too hard on the unoffendine
partners to the compact.

Hudson Co.
Tax Values
Up Sky High

Hoboken, Union Hill, Weehawken
and North Bergen filed schedules of
their assessments in the office of the
County Board of Taxation yesterday
afternoon. The increase of these four
municipalities total $2,527 ,454 over
valuations last year, and show that if
Jersey City presents increased rat
ables aggregating from $8,000,000 to
$9,000,000 the county tax rate will
be lower than last year
The average basic rate was $5.16
on every $1,000 per valuation, while
Jersey City's tax rate was $500. The
increased valuation thus far is 49,
100000 over last year, and this does
not include Jersey City or Kearney
The schedule for Hoboken follows
Valuation of real estate, $60,212,-
600, an increase of $736,900; valua-
ton of personal property, $3,816,900,
decrease of 1888, 300; valuation of

Mass Meeting
For Good Roads

Remember the mass meeting at
Borough Hall, CHffside, next Tues
day night, August II, for the pur-
pose of discussing the plan to ex-
pend from $4,000 to $4,000 on the
reconstructing of Palisade avenue,
Gorge road, Walker street and Edge
water road Part of the expense to
be borne by the state. The apparent
object OF the proposes, expeLdicu,~
is to bring these streets up to the
high standard of the new Anderson
avenue improvement, it being feared
that otherwise their development will
suffer as compared with that of the
section traversed by the new Ander-
son avenue. All are urged to be
present.

Mayor White
Will Run For
Office Again

The announcement is made that
Mayor Edward A White has con-
sented to stand again for the office
of mayor of the borough of Fort Lee.
This is really no surprise, as his
friends calculated that he could not
resist the pressure that has been
brought to bear upon him. Just
what his policy will be is not known
to 'The Palisadian," though, were he
to be asked he no doubt would reply,
ITO run things right to the best of
my ability as | have done during the
past two years." This would not be
bad platform, if it went no further
What the mayors stand on taxa
ton will be he has not stated, though
he doubtless feels that he could not
help the raise, and the charge has not
been made that he could. Like Little
Topsy, who "just growed," the taxes
just came along. ~ the aslrissde

converted Democrats, and the old
liners have taken special interest
in getting Mayor White to take up
the battle once more, and are felici-
tating themselves that they have in
9uced the hardest man in the borough
to beat to enter the race.
"Run," said leading citizen in
discussing the mayors getting into
the race again, "why, he will run so
far ahead of the field the others will
all be left at the stake. There is moth
ing that can touch White. He has
made the most decent and acceptable
mayor the borough ever had. Not
only can you not beat him, but you
cannot match him"

All political parties and all sec
tons of Bergen county were repre-
scented at the meeting of the Citizens
Committee of which Mayor Osler, of
Leonia, is chairman, held Saturday
night at Odd Fellows Hall in Hack
ensack. Mayor Osler explained, in
calling the meeting to order, that it's
chief purpose was to formulate plan
to counterfeit the action of the large
Board of Freeholders in it's effort to
have declared unconstitutional the
act providing for the election of a
small Board of Freeholders this fall.
The general sentiment expressed was
that steps should be taken to employ
the best counsel obtainable to defend
the small Board Act.
Speeches along this line were made
by Mayor CARRIER, of Ridgewood;
Prof. E. H. Sturtevant, Of Edgewater;
Commissioner Harry F. Ayers, of
Ridgefeld Park; eX-Mayor Dan Eel
lows Platt, of Englewood; Daniel S.
Goss, of Rutherford; Charles Fash,
of Hackensack; E C. Iron and Geo.
White.
Chairman Osler called upon Sena-
tor Hennessy for an expression of his
opinion, and the Senator stated that
he had no doubt of the constitutional
ity of the Gill Act, but he considered
that competent defence of it should
be made because resourceful and
clever lawyers, with ample funds at
their disposal, would be engaged in
the attack upon it.
At this stage, Secretary James D.
Moore read telegrame from former
Senator VIM. M. Johnson, who is
summering in Maine, as follows:

Ex-Chairman Brohel
Says Bergen Needs
Its Face Washed

Hackensack, Aug. 12.-Declaring
that the time had come for a COM
plete house cleaning and for the in
stallation of new county govern
ment in Bergen County, former
County Chairman Joseph A. Brohel,
of Hackensack, last night at meet
ing of the Bergen County Republican
Committee, made a sensational speech
urging the Republicans to back up
the citizens movement to clean out
the present Board of Freeholders.
1t is expected that his speech will
be followed by the naming of seven
candidates for the Republican Free
holder nominations pledged to the
ousting of the present county gov
eminent The Republicans will also
get back of the movement to pre-
vent the upsetting of the small Board
of Freebooter Act, and to facilitate
the BUSTING of the present large
board,-Hoboken Observer.

STRONG SET OF RESOLUTIONS PASSED

Mayor w. F. Osler, Leonia, N. j.
"The sentiment of the people of
Bergen county is Overwhelmingly in
favor of the Small Board of Free
holders. Your association should re-
tain the best counsel possible-a man
of the ability and standing of Robert
N. McCarter or John R. Hardin, of
Newark, to defend the suit brought
for the purpose of prolonging the life
of the present board | will gladly
contribute one hundred dollars to a
fund to cover expenses OF litigation.
"W. M. Johnson"
Mayor Vernon Monroe, of Engle-
wood, who is out of town, sent this
message:
81 am decidedly in sympathy with
the efforts to see that the public gets
what it wants, which is Small
Board, and gets rid of what l regard
a scandal in the community, namely,
the large Board"
Freebooter John T. Harrop, of Gar
field, declared that he was in sym
pathy with the efforts of the County
Clerk to obtain funds with which to
defend the Small Board Act, and
after consultation with Mr.. Thompson,
he had prepared request upon Di-
rector Fox for special meeting of
the Board of Freeholders, which re
quest had been signed also by Free
holders Devine and Lynch. He had
made efforts to reach Director Fox
without success, and had found the
Clerk of the Board to be also absent
from the county. He would make
another endeavor on Monday to see
these officials.
On motion of Dan Fellows Platt, il
was unanimously resolved that foul
committees be constituted to promote
the work of preserving to the people
of Bergen county "the opportunity tc

Trolley Fences Fought In ChGside
With Strongly Expressed Feeling
Against Them From All Quarters
Sunday Saloon Opening, Also, A Source of General
Disapproual- Rev. Church and Charles j. Leeqer
Visit All Saloons On Sunday And So Report to
COuncii-- Citizens Club Opposes Trolley Fence
VERY LIVELY SESSION WITH MUCH TALK

The fifteenth regular meeting of
Clffside Park Council board for 1915
was held at Borough Hall last Mon
day evening. Mayor Neumann and
Councilman Naedler were absent.
President Sammis was in the chair.
The attendance outside the rail was
fairly large, and included represen-
tatives OF church organizations, GIVE
clubs, those interested in borough
contracts and a number of saloon
managers.
Don't Want Trolley Fenced
The growth of Sunday disturbances,
especially as resulting from the Sun
day selling of liquor in defiance OF
law received large part of the meet
ing's attention. A determined at
titude of opposition on the part Of
the borough to the trolley company's
plan to fence in its tracks was fore
Swallowed in the remonstance OF the
Citizens Club, signed by a large num-
Der of citizens. Petitions were re-
ceived for the sidewalking Of portions
of Cliff street and Walker street, and
many other matters of lesser import
ance preached and discussed.
Sunday Liquor Selling
The question of Sunday selling OF
LIQUOR was brought to head by the
reading by the clerk of a communica-
ton from the Citizens Club calling
attention to the increasing condition
of disorderlyness in the borough on
Sundays due to the ignoring by the
saloons of the liquor laws of the
State.
Minister Church Visits Saloons Sunday
Rev. Alfred C. Church, pastor OF
the Congregational Church, backed
up the stand of the Citizens Club
He said that on Sunday evening,
August /, he had visited all the
Grantwood saloons, and had found
them selling liquor in defiance OF the
law. Councilman Zimmerman, IN
terrupting, said that the pastors
statement was pretty broad one:
could he not be a little more specific
Yes; Mr.. Church could be more spe-
cific; he had found all the saloons
wide open. Charles Leeger, in sup
plementing Mr.. Church's remarks
said that he had accompanied the
latter on his tour of investigation
and among other evidence which he
had found, he saw two men outside

Madman Uses Hatchet On Ferry,
Cutting Off A Passengers Ear,
And Creating Widest Excitement
Luke Malloney Attacks Stephen Mohoney Without
PrOUocation On The EdgeWater And Clues Crazy
Reason For ASSAULT Captured After Desperate
Fight With Police On The NelU York Side

AS the ferryboat Edgewater, from
Fort Lee, N. j., with 1000 passeng-
ers, was entering her slip at West
both street at o'clock last Wednes
day evening, a man, believed to have
been crazed, swung lather's small
Ratchet through the air and struck
Stephen Mahoney, of 1873 East Forty
fifth street from the rear across the
right side of his face as he was lean
ing over the starboard rail on the
main deck near the bow. A part of
Mahoneys ear was cut off and he fell
to the deck stunned.
John Mahoney, a brother of the in
jured man, and Michael Fleming, of
1888 Park avenue, friend, turned
upon the assailant, but he backed
against the rail and swung the Ratchet
so viciously that they dared not APP
proach him. Other men in the crowd
rushed at the man, but he drove them
back with swings of his weapon,
meanwhile screaming at the top of
his voice.
Many of the passengers were
women and children, and their eX-
element verged on a state of panic.
AS soon as he saw the trouble on the
lower deck, the captain sounded the
whistle and Police Sergeant James
Hamil and Policeman Ford of the
West 124th street station, who were
in the ferry house, rushed to the end
of the pier and jumped aboard the
ferry when she was still several feet
from the landing. Sergeant Hamil
knocked the Ratchet from the mans
hanl with a night stick and over
powered him.
At the West 125th street station,
the man said he was Luke Malloney,
but he refused to give his address.
He said that Mahoney had caused him
to lose several jobs, and added that
he had recognized Mahoney by his
cap. DR.. Frascola of Bellevue Hos
pital, decided the man was suffering
from paranoia, and removed him TO
the hospital DR.. Padula, of Knick-
erbocker Hospital, attended Mahoney's
injuries. Mahoney said he never had
seen his assailant before-New York
Times.

Henry Grabowsky
Grantwood Boy,
Released From Jail

Henry Grabowsky is again free. On
Monday afternoon at half past four,
while he was engaged in some light
work in Haekensack in connection
with the sheriff's office, he received
the joyful news that his term of con-
tinement in the Hackensack Jail was
ended.
Henry, who lives with his brother
and sister in Lincoln lane, Grantwood,
was sentenced on August 5, 1914, for
alleged completely in the killing of a
poor Polish girl in the lane back of
Hotfman's saloon, Palisade avenue.
The unfortunate incident, it will be
remembered, happened on a Sunday
evening, and apparently was more
from accident than design.
Henry's sentence was for eleven
months in Jail and fine of $500.
Since his release, he has secured work
on the new Aluminium plant at Edge
water as a steamftter, his old trade.
He was formerly connected with Will
lam Smith, plumber, Edgewater; also
with Knight, of New York.
Henry, who is twenty-six years
old, says that the life in the sheriff's
colony was made very agreeable
for him. He was made a "trusty,"
and was given every freedom pos
sible. His many friends were ready
for him on his return to c--tond the
glad hand. They all say that he is
looking remarkably well.

Strange Antic Of
An Automobile S
Impolite Drive,

A most curious proceeding took
place near the residence of Mr.. Alves
Thursday last. A big, powerful auto
mobile came charging up the Bridal
way hill. 1t crossed the car tracks
at a fast clip, and, to the surprise
of several persons who were casually
watching it from a distance, plunged
right across Washington avenue, over
the sidewalk, through the hedge, and
onto Mr.. Alves' lawn. But before
anybody could say "Jack Robinson"
or catch the number of the machine,
the driver backed out of his precari-
Gus position, and headed off up the
street
There are two theories for the
cause of the unusual occurrence. One
is that the party were strangers, and,
not knowing that Bridal way ended
at the top of the hill, came up at a
fast speed, intending to go straight
on. When they saw that the street
ran into Washington avenue instead,
it is supposed that is was too late
to turn and that the car was stopped
as soon as possible The other sup
position is that the driver came up
the hill knowing that he would have
to make the turn, but that his brakes
failed to hold and it was impossible
for him to do so without turning
turtle.
The hedge was badly bruised in two
places and Mr.. Alves naturally felt
that the owner of the car should have
stopped and made an offer to repair
all damage Which goes to show that
there are many kinds of automo-
bilists, just as there are many kinds
of people in this world.
