This was mutiny, and McGrath's
remedy for that distemper was ever
heroic. In a fash his big fist shot out
and the crew looked to see it's lighter
champion go backward into the river

land. Griswold saw It coming and
swerved the necessary body-breadth.
The result was a demonstration of
simple theorem in dynamics. McGrath

Terminal Begun
In Newark

In the presence of several thou
sand people, President Thomas N.
McCarter laid the corner stone of the
new $5,000,000 Public Service Term
inal building in Newark Tuesday
afternoon. The building with it's
subway and it's overhead approaches
is destined to be the largest and
most modern street railway terminal
in the country. 1t is designed to ac-
commodate a maximum of 400 cars
an hour. 1t is unique in street rail
way terminals in that there are two
train floors, and the street level will
be used as concourse. Above the
train floors the structure will rise six
stories which will be devoted to the
uses of Public Service Corporation of
New Jersey and it's railway, gas and
electric companies.
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond, of
Newark, stood at Mr.. McCarter's
side as the stone was laid, and in the
party were mayors, councilmen and
other officials of various municipali-
ties in Essex county and west Hudson,
business, financial and professional
men prominent in New Jersey, New
York City and Philadelphia were in
attendance.
Following the placing of the stone
a luncheon was served at the Wash
ington Restaurant to nearly $50
guests. Mr.. McCarter presided and
made a short address, telling what
Public Service had done to develop the
communities it served and express
ing the hope for the realization of
greater Newark extending from and
beyond the Passaic River to the
Orange mountains. Mayor Raymond
congratulated the company and pre-
dicted great things for the future
Newark. Former United States Sena-
tor James Smith, jr., told of the de-
velopment of the utilities of Essex
and of the City of Newark, and Sena-
tor Austin Colgate added his con-
gratulations and his views of what
the community would develop into.
Former Governor Franklin Murphy
was the last speaker. He said that
long ago he took his stand as be-
lieving that public corporations and
public service companies were bene-
fetal from a public standpoint.
The terminal building is expected
to be completed some time next sum-

pany has the contract for the build

Mosquito Commission
Continued from page y
ing picture lectures by Mr.. Cleave

ing picture lectures by Mr.. Cleaver
followed throughout the county.
In February, 1915, Mr.. A. H.
Vannote, chairman of the Mosquito
Commission delivered an illuminat-
ing lecture on the aims and work of
the commission before the Civics
Department of the Woman's Club of
Cliffsde Park. At this lecture Mr..
Vannote stated that the results of his
preliminary work in combating he
mosquito pest had impressed the
Board of Freeholders favorably
enough to make them willing to de-
vote $4,000 of their funds to the
countrywide work.
One of the statements made by
Chairman Vannote at the meeting
referred to and at other times to Cliff
side Park residents was that the
commission counted on the co-opera-
ton of residents if success were to
be secured. This was promised and
given.
Wednesday noon of this week, Mr.,
A. G. Leeds, inspector for the COM
mission appeared at the office of "The
Palisadian," made a statement of the
mosquito determination work as car
ried on in the county to date.
Mr.. Leeds covers the Palisades sec
ton, once or more each week, from
Fort Lee south to the Hudson county
line. Mr.. Leeds travels by automobile,
carrying one or more barrels of oil.
He reported having applied oil in this
borough to numerous ponds or pools
and an open cellar in Franklin ave-
nue., west of the trolley tracks. These
ponds are located by means of charts.
The chief origin of the mosquito
swarms, however, is the Hackensack
meadows. The Overpeck section, Mr..
Leeds says, is practically immune as
a breeding area. Throughout the
former section and the county at
large, at least seventy-fve miles of
the ten inch drainage bitches have
been dug. Where ditching is impos-
sible, oil is used. In a few cases fill
ing in is resorted to.
Last week, as a result of the heavy
east winds the waters of the bay
were driven inland up the meadows
around Little Ferry. The inspectors
reported breeding on an increased
scale, and as a result Chief Inspector
Leslie ordered force of fifteen in
spectors to the spot, accompanied by
a dozen or more laborers. This army
of determination spent two solid
days applying oil to the surface of
the water areas with the result that
the water was filled win huge crop
of dead wrigglers.
Mr.. Leeds seemed anxious to meet
any and all persons in the borough
who desired his counsel or aid in MAX
ing the work of the locality more com
plete. The Commissioners address
is 46 Hudson street, Hackensack.

Bachelor Makes
Fight To Keep
His Little Baby

Passaic, N. j., July 21.-Thomas
Miller, an unconfirmed bachelor of
thirty-two, living at 118 Second
street, gave Judge Thomas F. Co.'S
tello what he called several good rea-
sons why he refused to surrender the
custody of his four year-old niece,
Francesca Athena Samtax, to her
father, Joseph SamtaX, of Athena.
The child's parents became estrang-
ed when she was six months old. She
was left motherless at two, and neigh
bors complained that she was allowed
to toddle uncared for around the
streets. Miller found her and took
her in.
eff you please, your honor, I've
done my best by this little girl"
said the young bachelor. "For two
years I've washed, dressed and fed
her. I've ironed her clothes, too, Pm
not ashamed to say. l have a contract
to build a house in Delawanna, and
every day l take Frances with me.
She plays near me in the fresh air
while l work and is growing strong
and healthy. l love her, judge, and
| know she loves me-"
A dozen of Miller's neighbors said
the young man told the truth, and
Mrs. Sadie Ranzenhoffer, a lawyer,
volunteered to defend without fees
his claim as the little girls guardian.
Judge Costello will give his decision
on Friday. If the child is permitted
to help the court out, the neighbors
say, she would vote in favor of Uncle
Tom.

there will be innumerable cases of

will, therefore, represent a dead loss

not agree with the Association that
a half loaf is better than none.
The Fort Lee Borough Club has de-
clared itself against the compromise
proposal"
Vincent B. Kelly, of Palisade, sec
rotary of the Improvement Associa-
ton was also interviewed by "the
Palisadian" in regard to the dispute.
He said that he understood that the
Freeholers' Ferry Committee had
voted down the compromise propo-
sition by vote of five to four. at
seems to me that the compromise
proposition ought to be favorable to
Palisades residents. Four thousand
commuters will be benefited by it, and

sidered worth while"
