Trolley Fare
Reduction Hearing

Many ladies and gentlemen of
Grantwood and nearby boroughs APP
peared before the Public Utilities
Commission of New Jersey when they
met to hear the complaint of the
Mems Club of Trinity Church,
against the Public Service Corpora
ton. The complaint set forth in sub
stance that the charge of a double
fare from Grantwood and other
points on the Palisade line to Edge
water ferry was eXorbitant.

The case was called before Justice
Tracy and much interesting testi-

strate the injustice of the present
fare system. 1t seems to be the con-
sensus of opinion that the Public
Service Corporation got rather the
best Of the contest, as they handled
their side of the case with much
cleverness. On the other hand, a
number of witnesses for the COM

creditable showing.
The session lasted till the latter
part of the afternoon, when recess
was taken until Wednesday morning,

An Old Man Suicides
In West Bluff Road
With Pistol Tuesday

An old man, about seventy, well
dressed, was found in Palisade
with bullet in his left temple
about three o'clock Tuesday after
noon. Ed. Kimball who drives "a
truck for Joe Wunch, the old
tree and lumber man, was driving
along Bluff road and saw the body
lying near the little bridge out Bluff
road about 600 or TOO feet west of
the Lester Burdette home. The man
was then dead, and Kimball immedi-
ately notified the Fort Lee authori-
ties. McNalley Brothers sent their
wagon down and carried the body to
their For Leet morgue. The suicide
left no means of Identification what
ever. He wore dark suit of clothes,
and was we'll dressed, having on clean
underwear. He wore home-knit gray
socks, and appeared to be rather well
to do. He wore, also, a black derby
hat There was $4.20 in change in
his pockets.
This makes five suicides in Palisade
to date.

The Woman's
State College. By
Amusing Yourself

You may have an afternoons or
evenings amusement at Palisade
Amusement Park overlooking the
Hudson River, at bargain prices, and
thereby help raise $1,000 more for
the Woman's State College movement.
This is possible because Schenck
Brothers, owners of the Park, gener-
ously donated $500 combination tic
kets which include admission and
number of amusements, to local
Committee for the boroughs of Fort
Lee, Englewood Cliffs, Cliffside Park,
and Edgewater.
And this Local Committee now off
rse these tickets for sale not only to
its friends in these four Boroughs but
also to neighboring boroughs and
towns accessible to the Park.
Tickets may be obtained at: George
Stables, Pallsade; Goemann's Drug
Store, GrantWood; Herchlers Cigar
Store, Grantwood; Mrs. c. P. Berkey,
Palisade; Mrs. John H. Koch, Grant
wood.
The prices are 40 cents for adults
and % cents for children. The tickets
cannot be purchased at the box office
IN the Park, where only full priced
tickets are sold. The date is Wednes-
day, June %.
These tickets for both adults and
| children include six attractions as well
as admission to the Park.
There is very little doubt that this
movement for the Woman's Sttae
College in New Jersey is about to be
realized.
While it took great number of
years to reach the present point Of
approach to success, the final success
that is bound to follow will be all the
greater for the long wait.
The trustees of Rutgers College
who are undertaking the proposition,
have already received donation of
twelve acres of land near New Brun-
swick.
The only further requirement on the
part of the promoters of the idea is
that seventy five thousand dollars
shall be raised to cover the first four
years of the College and that, of this
sum, fifteen thousand must be raised
Immediately to cover the first year,
and twenty thousand a year for the
three succeeding years.
The New Jersey State Federation
of Woman's Clubs have undertaken
the colossal task of raising this mon
ey. Already they are coming near to
accomplishing their first task.

Swam For Degree
Il, Last Minute
At Columbia

J. Donald Duncan, Columbia
senior, was just slipping into his cap
and gown yesterday morning to
march with his graduating class to
jhe assembly hall and get his diploma
and his A B. degree when one of the
professors, with list in his hand
stepped up to him.
"Sorry, Mr.. Duncan" said the pro-
fessor. "But you can't be graduated
| see here you fave failed to uhtiergo
your swimming examination"
"Great Scott! So | have!" exclaimed
Duncan. GLOW did l ever forget it %
every unfortunate, my boy; very
unfortunate" commiserated the pro
feSsor.
"Wcll, here-listen-quick!" said
Duncan. ''There's twenty minutes be-
fore the exercises begin. Let me take
it now! I'll show that | can swim!"
And he dragged the astonishcd col
lege official across the campus, raced
into the gymnasium, ripped off his
clothes. pulled on pair of trunks,
shouted for the swimming master,
and then dived overheard.
He went through half a dozen diff
ferent strokes, swan on his back,
touched bottom, jumped from high
board, and proved himself altogether
an aquatic expert.
BLOWS that?" he pulled as he
climbed out.
"All right-passed!" said the swim
ming teacher. So J. Donald Duncan
hustled into his clothes, ran back to
his class, pulled on his uniform of cal
and gown and was properly gradu-

The Palisade Choral Society has
been busy all week rehearsing the
comic opera Pinafore which is to be
presented at Cella's Hall on the even
ing of June 49, Arthur w. Tams,
of Palisade, an old wheel horse of the
operate stage who will direct the per-
Torrance, says he is greatly encour-
aged by the work of the members at
the rehearsals.
"The members have learned their
lines" said Mr.. Tams. "They have
the music very we'll in hand, and
what now remains to be done is to
learn the 'business'-the acting part
of the opera. And in this part of
the work they are rounding out in
good shape. One thing that pleases
me is that they so willingly cooper
ate in every effort to improve the
weak spots and to get in readiness
for giving finished performance.
My prediction is that the public will
be more than pleased with the pro-
duction."
And the members of the company
say it will not be the fault of Mr..
Tams if the performance is not a
complete success. His painstaking
efforts have already shown marked
results. There is not one of the per-
formers who has not greatly improved
in voice and technique since the re-
hearsals began. Those who have at

Lighted Match Kills
Child By Careless
Man, Tossing 1t

On Tuesday afternoon last little
three-year old boy was standing On
the sidewalk in front of his home III
Jersey City and all of sudden bis
clothing was seen to take fire. Be-
fore the blaze could be eXtinguished
the child's side had been badly burned.
From the only evidence it has been
possible to secure, the casualty, for
the child died later from the shock
was caused by the careless throwing
down of a lighted match by some man
passing by.
The little sufferer was taken at
once to City Hospital where it died
Tuesday night.
No trace of the man responsible
for the occurrence has been found.

NOW it out?"
"Mow it! That's a good one. Why,

just sprinkle salt along, and the grass
