"MuscuLine WidOlU'
Is Sent To Jail For
Foolish Scheme

Angela Guisti, who was arrested in
Grantwood several months ago, by
Officer Borrelli, for conducting a fake
matrimonial bureau and who escaped
from the Trenton court room when
brought up for trial has been recap
tured and when arraigned the second
time he pleaded guilty to the charges
against him. Judge Haight sentenced
him to three years at hard labor in
states prison.
Guisti represented himself as a
rich Italian widow and inserted adj
vertisements in the Italian papers
asking would-be husbands to send
their photographs and a sum of money
to show their good intentions. The en-
terprising advertiser received mail
under many different names at several
nearby post offices and it is believed
that many dupes fell for his neat
little scheme.

At Someruille N. ].

New Jersey is fast making rabbit
history. Another thoughtless chap
has been arrested and jailed, this
time at Somerville, for killing a stray
rabbit with stone. Last fall oscar

killed rabbit out of season and was
sentenced to Jail and a heavy fine.
He served a month and was pardoned.

A Close Shaue Twixt
Ferryboat And Tug,
Everybody WINGED

One morning last week when the
six-thirty boat was about to enter her
slip on the New York side, there came
a shrill whistle, and suddenly the
Edgewater stopped her engines and
reversed her motion. People in the
forward part of the boat, and those
in the middle and at the other end,
Immediately got up and looked out or
ahead. Then there shot across her
bow one of those smart little tugs
of the Shamrock Towing Company
that went by as sassily as though she
owned the whole river. She gave her
wheezy little "shanh! shanh shanh!"
as she poked her nose past the Edge
water, missing the latter about ten
feet, then turned with a wide, sweep
ing curve into the next dock, as
though to say, "Well, you got out of
my way that time in hurry, sure!"
But the passengers did not like the
trick one bit, and roundly denounced
the Shamrock tug for its very bad
behavior.

Boy Thieves Caught
After Committing
Many Depredations

This borough, as well as nearby
boroughs, bid fair to be relieved of
the nuisance to which it has for some
time been subjected, in the form of
destruction and violation of public
and private property. On Sunday
last a number of these violators were
rounded up with the assistance of Mr..
Anton Bohm, recently created mar
shall, and Fairview officers.
Mr.. Bohm is the manager of the
Industrial Savings and Loan Com
pany, who own the row of blue-stone
dwellings in Shaler avenue just east
of Lincoln school, Fairview. Two
weeks ago Mr.. Bohm discovered that
the three unoccupied houses in this
row had been entered, and all the
available lead pipe made away with;
also brass chandeliers and other
fittings. Moreover, not a shred of
glass in the windows, or plate glass
in the doors was left. Door and Win
dow openings were wide open to the
weather. He reported this to the
police department who began an in
vestigation.
On Sunday morning last, Officer
Hammond encountered four young
boys shooting craps" He appre-
hended them, and brought them before
Recorder George Schulz, jr., who put
them through the various degrees of
inquisition. In that way the various
operations of this group were brought
to light.
The names of the offenders are
Tommy Trotter, Mike Sgmbate, Philip
Frisco, Nicholas Castellano, William
Supino, Felix Gentle, Joseph Mono
cone, and Nicholas Corbiscello.

A Billy Sunday
Accounting For Funds
Asked In Philadelphia

Philadelphia, March 31.-Francis
Porter, of 1928 Locust street gave out
a statement tonight which was in
the nature of a demand that the Rev.
Billy Sundays campaign committee
make a detailed accounting of the
money collected during the evangel-
lists campaign in this city and of its
disposition.
He points out that according to the
announcements of the committee, the
total received was about $66,150 He
asserts that thus far the committee
has given an account of the DISPOSE
ton of only $43,150, leaving $4,000
thus far unaccounted for.
Porter says that early in Sundays
campaign it was forecast that the
contributions would amount to more
than 100000; that the committee
promised to make an accounting of all
collections, but that week has
passed since the Sunday campaign
was closed and that complete state
ment is yet lacking.
Porter asks Mr.. Sunday why he
does not emulate the man in his (Sun-
days. sermon of ''The Rich Young
Ruler" He asks why Mr.. Sunday
does not give even a tenth of his re-
ceipts to the poor. He asserts that
Mr.. Sunday is wealthy man, hav-
ing more than 100000. Then he
adds, addressing Mr.. Sunday:
"lhe real truth is that you are
commercializing the name of Jesus
Christ, without leave or license, boldly
using His sacred name to advertise a
money making business, doing with
the name of Christ exactly what you
object so strenuously to, and have
the right to object to when, without
permission from you, a man engaged
in business uses your name for adj
vertising purposes. And yet in a
loud voice you cry out to the multi
tudes:
"Look to yourselves. What did his
possessions amount to if it cost him
his SOUL"

Building In Palisade
Promises Much
For 1915 Season

The building going on in Palisade
this season promises a successful sea-
son. Mr.. John LeCato, of Grantwood,
a New York, automatic player manu-
facturer, is just starting to build one
of the finest homes ever constructed
in Palisade. 1t is out Bluff road, ad-
joining and just east of the Decoudre
home. The lot is large, and the new
residence will greatly help that end
of town.
Another fine cliff front residence is
promised for this spring and will
soon be started. Last year Palisade
added about $4,000 in new homes,
and it is confidently believed that
1915 will surpass that record. Already
there are seven new buildings started
and more in prospect. The outlook
is good.

Find Mrs. Cohen's Pin
Made In Black Enamel
And Get Ten Dollars

Mrs. J. G. Cohen, of Palisade, went
to the athletic exhibition at the
Englewood Armory Friday n G h t
week given by the Englewood High
School, and had the misfortune to
lose black enamel lace pin, set with
three small diamonds. 1t was not the
money value represented in the pin
that she valued; this, while con-
siderable, was nothing compared
with the associations treasured
with its possession. Mrs. Cohen
had had it for over fifty years, and
naturally priced it greatly on that
account She does not know where
she lost it, except that she put it
on to wear to Englewood and missed
it upon her return. She would will
ingly pay ten dollars for it's return.

Toll Roads Purchase Vetoed
By Governor Fielder This Week
States Executive Thinks Freeholders Boards Might be
Likely to Bunco The State, And He Did Not Want
to be a Party to The Action, Hence He Sat Dovn
Upon 1t With Both Feet Hard

Governor Fielder has sent in his
objections in veto on the Gaunt
bill, No. 241, Senate, and gave the
following explanation of his action:
81 return herewith Senate bill No.
241 without my approval.
SIT authorizes boards of freehold
ers to purchase toll roads, giving the
state no voice as to the amount of
the purchase price, but making it
possible to have the whole cost paid
out of state funds and none paid To-
cally. This is another attempt to
saddle on the state the expense of a
proposition which is largely, if not
wholly, of purely local benefit. You
have recently adopted a concurrent
resolution calling for the investiga-
ton of the policy under which the
state assumes the expense of NUM-
cipal examinations, inspections and
functions, local in their results and
this bill is similar in principle. I'm
der the law now in force for the pur-
chase of toll roads, the price to be
paid is subject to the approval of
the Commissioner OF Roads; not eX-
ceeding one-third of the cost can be
placed on the state and the freehold
ers may require each municipality
through which the road passes to
pay ten per cent. of the value of the
portion lying in such municipalities.
"This bill, too, authorizes the pay
ment of the entire purchase price
without requiring the satisfaction and
discharge of a mortgage on the road,
by permitting the freeholders to ac-
cept from the owner satisfactory
bond" that the mortgage will some
day be paid. This is not possible un
der the present law and l fail to see
why the owner, upon receiving the
whole purchase price, should not be
required to deliver title free from
encumbrances."

Ramapo Snake Killer
Says Don't Spare EN-,
But Hit EN- To Kill

George C. Billings, better known as
"Rattlesnake Chet," of Mahwah, a
deputy game warden, was in town to-
day visiting his friends at the Court
House.
"Chet" is some guy with the snakes
up in the Ramapo mountains, and to
an Evening Record reporter, who
knew this fact, he said:
at looks like a good early season
for snake hunting, as indicated by
the great number of little song birds
that are back again. | have already
inspected some of the snake dens and
found evidence of their presence.
"1f you are interested in birds,
game or fish, you should kill the
snake without hesitation. The moe
casin, commonly known as the water
snake, preys on trout, small bass, pike,
pickerel and perch, while the white
chin black snake, blue racer and pine
snakes are all bird and egg destroy
ers; in fact, that is their main food.
II have often come upon these
varmint and killed them while close
beside pheasant, partridge, quail
woodcock or meadow lark nests, per-
haps helping themselves to the young
| birds or the eggs. | have even caught
black snakes in trees, robbing the
nests of blue jays, cat birds, blue
birds, scarlet tanager, dove, flicker
robins, etc.
"The rattlesnake and cooper head
are very fond of field mice, mole
ground or chipping squirrel, alst
common barn rats. They are gener-
ally found in swamps or meadows IL
| dry seasons. In wet weather they
hunt some old lumber pile or build
| ing that has gone to destruction
waiting for rats or small rabbit.
"The ring neck, spreading adder,
sand and ground, commonly known
as garden snake, also green snakes.
are all satisfied with large insects.
small toads and frogs.
81 was on my way home from a
snake hunt one day with 81 poison
reptiles in my sack. l was tired and
thirsty and sat down beside a brook
to rest and slacken my thirst. AS
looked up the stream l saw snake
crossing the water, coming directly
toward me. When it got within my
reach l grabbed the snake and killed
him. The snake had but recently
swallowed two goodsized brook
trout. Continuing on my way home,
and while passing brush lot, l saw
two large black snakes, both of which
| captured. One had swallowed two
ground pheasants and the other a
woodcock or robin.
81 don't believe there is anything
that will brighten you easier than a
snake" declared "Chet."
ooh yes, they brighten me, too, some
times" he said. "They are as quick
as flash, but they have go to go
some to get away from me, bar none.
81 have caught hundreds of them
and been scratched with rattlers and
copper heads many times but |
should worry. like the sport and
will clean up as many as can.
"Now, if you love Gods little dumb
animals, such as birds and fish, you,
too, can do lot of good if you are
quick to think and brave to act.
"Say, will you tell your readers to
please try and kill all the black and
water snakes you can? I'll take the
rattlesnakes and copper heads Z"
