ANTI-SAL0ON HEAD
ATTACKS MAYOR
Anderson Tells Pastors
That Mitchell Won't Stop
Sunday Selling.

Mayor Mitchell is indirectly respon-
Sible for The Sunday consumption of
liquor. the Methodist ministers OF
the city were told Yesterday by Will
lam II. Anderson, state superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League.
The responsibility OF existing CON
0ltlons rests primarily upon the
Mayor" Mr.. Anderson declared. "The
saloons can be closed in any city on
Sunday If the officials who have charge
If the police force want them closed
and give orders 20 that effect without
winking the other eye as the order
Is issued"
More than three hundred Methodist
clergymen and a number of ministers
Of other denominations were present
Of the meeting, held in the morning at
$50 Fifth Avenue, when the RESPONSE
bility of Sunday intemperancc was
placed at the door of City Hall
Prolonged applause greeted the re-
marks of the Rev. DR.. James V. Chal-
mers. vicar of the Episcopal Church of
the Holy Trinity, at 3l6 East Eighty
eighth Street, who recommended i'm
mediate steps to bring the Mayor to
account for the alleged laxness with
which the excise laws were enforced
on Sunday.
81 am not a lawyer" said the vicar.
"but it is my judgment that the Mayor
could be indicted under the ordinary
procedure of the courts for his fail
ure to enforce the law"
Further condemnation of the Mayor
was found in a resolution adopted by
the ministers, copy of which was
forv arded to the Governor. II read:
owe protest against the persistent
non-enforcemont of the Sunday closing
feature of theIexcise law upon the part
Of the municipal authorities Of New
York City and request Governor Whit
man TO use the power vested in him
to give us relief from this infraction
Of one of the Ten Commandments and
d plain statute of the state forbidding
such Sunday sale"
THE excise law is being enforced as
well as possible along the lines on
which it was laid down." said Mayor
Mitchell. replying to the attacks made
upor him. I'VE must maintain the in
tegrity of the human machine in the
Police Department, which Mayor Gay
nor understood when he forbade pre-
cinct commanders to handle the prob
lem with plain clothes men. | expect
to see the enforcement of the excise
law get better and better as We 60
along"

SAYS MISS RODMAN
WAS WITHIN RIGHTS
Letter TO r. p. a. Defended by
Counsel in Argument Of
Appeal at Albany.
lion . 81 Correspond.nt q u rrlbun.l


Albany, Feb l5-The appeal Of Mrs.
Henrietta Rodman de Fremery. whose
mother batting" letter to F. P. A. in
The Tribune caused her suspension as
teacher by the New York Board OF
Education on a charge of gross mis-
conduct, was presented 20 the State
Commissioner Of Education this after
noon. The argument was heard By DR..
Thomas +. Finegan, assistant Commits
sioner Of Elementary Education, and
Frank B. Gilbert, counsel for the de-
partment.
Gilbert E. Roe. who, with Mrs. ". p.
Cothren. appeared for Henrietta Rod
man, said he conceded that the letter
was in bad taste, but he argued that
1t did not constitute gross misconduct.
There are only two points in the
letter. he said, chat can be fairly
criticised, namely, the expressions
mother batting and the object of the
game is TO kick the mothers out OF
their positions in the public schools"
Mr. Roe held, however, that mother
batting" comes within the legal right
one has OF fair comment on the action
of any body.
"The whole matter" ne said, lis but
n mild form of expression 20 charac-
terize the true conduct Of the Board OF
Education. and the question to be de-
termined by the Commissioner of Edu-
cation is whether gross misconduct is
the issue under Section 1903 of the New
York charter"
This section provides for the dis
mssal Of teacher for gross nliscon-
duct, characterization, neglect of duty
or general nefiiciency. Mr.. Roe urged
that the act had no relation to the
offence charged.
Charles Mcintyre, who appeared for
the Board Of Education, held that the
letter was insulting, 1ippant, undigni-
fed in form ard constituted an insult
ing conduct, which was properly char
acterized by the board as gross mis-
conduct"

Identify Victims
On The Lusitania
By Corset Numbers

An interesting incident connects
Palisade with the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania. Otto Hunicke tells "The Pail
sadian" that the English Government
has cabled him about the labels and
numbers on Madam Campbell's
Corsets" found upon Lusitania wo-
men victims Of that terrible sea
tragedy. In this way Mr.. Hunicke
says their corset numbers have been
the means of identifying no less than
six people, all women of course. Each
corset turned out of the Madam
Campbell emporium is labeled with
the house name, and also bears a
number. The numbers are kept in a
register with the names of the own
ers opposite. 1t will thus be seen
how easy was the process of Identify
ing the Lusitania dead in this manner.

Murder In "Mouie"
Turns Out Fatally.
Culprit Escapes

A moving picture murder that was
not a moving picture murder, but
real one, took place on Friday after
noon of last week in Hoboken. No
body knew that it was a murder ex-
cept the three men in the auto, which
had stopped near the Loop, and the
driver who jumped from his seat and
tried to escape from the bullets of
the three men.
A fifteen year old boy, John Poppe,
saw the murder and laughed, long
and loud, until some people running
by called out that the man who had
just fallen down had been murdered.
Then he began to tremble
When they went up to the victim,
they found blood dripping from the
clothing near his side, and it looked
as though he had died instantly.
Young Pope, when he reached
home, was as white as a sheet. He
said that among the crowd around
the murdered man, was a man who
was greatly agitated. He had left
saying that he would get the police.
He never returned
An inquest was held on Thursday
evening, at which young Poppe told
of his experience.

it was to have the Public Utilities

it would be long and hard fight
to bring about the reforms in water

the right track, and would yet ac-
complish something tangible. He
said he wanted to impress the fact
that the municipalities of Bergen vera
too small individually to make much
of an impression against the water
powers. He said the cost of the in

thousands, but that they had gone
to the state for funds, and were now

The Eastern Bergen Improvement
Association held it's May session on
Thursday night at the Palisade school
house. On roll call there were ten
members present, though there were
a number of outside people there, in
GLIDING quite fair attendance from
Palisade. In accordance with the
tremendous importance OF the meet
ing, however, the house should have
been packed A number of visitors
from neighboring boroughs were also
out, and in all about sixty people
gathered. Mayor Hurley, of Tenafly,
was in the chair, with Secretary
Vincent B. Kelly at his post.
The meeting was opened with the
secretary announcing the death of
Mayor J. Wilkes O'Neill, of Bergen
field, stating that committee had
been appointed to attend the funeral,
and that a letter of thanks had been
received from Mrs. O'Neill thanking
the association for its thoughtful
kindness. Secretary Kelly said the
loss of Mayor O'Neill had been keenly
felt by the members.
The reports on the cleanup cam
paign inaugurated by the association
included statement from Mr.. Kelly
as to when the movement started
early in the year, how it had pro-
crossed, and how it had worked out.
He then read letters from about all
of the boroughs telling the tale of
how a "Spotless Bergen" had been
attained, etc. Some of the letters
indicated that much work had been
accomplished, and the remark was
made that that was the best work the
organization had ever done. Prob
ably true. The showing made was
really quite creditable.
The Water Service Committee re-
ported progress, Mayor Boyd saying
that there really was nothing to re-
port at this time. Judge Seufert,

200 Bottles Of Beer
Drank In Two Days
By Men And 2 Boys

A Palisadian had an experience last
week unique in the annals of things
in general, and particularly as relat-
ing to house roofing.
The new garage was ready for the
slate roofing. The contractor sent the
right men, slate roofing being a
special line and requiring a certain
kind of skill. A slate roofer could
lay single roof, but not all shingl-
ers could lay a slate roof. Hence
and therefore.
Well, anyhow, two men and two
boys were put on the job, the men to
nail, the boys to tote slate.
The progress of the skaters had not
gone far before it was seen that the
job demanded inspection from a
distance off. The men therefore got
down and looked things over. 1t was
noticed that they were not steady on
their feet. Also, one of the boys
SO far forgot himself as to lose his
equilibrium. He found it again after
he had rolled off the roof and hit the
ground. None of the men fell off the
roof, but it is wonder they didn't.
In two days the skaters finished up
more than two hundred bottles of
beer. Of the empties, $50 were left
in the residence cellar, the others
were thrown over the cliff front in
bags. The distant inspection given
the job was when members of the
party in the stress of thirst-quench-
ing found it necessary to go down
to Edgewater to bring up more bags
of bottles of beer.
Funny thing about the whole
things is" said the owner of the
garage, "is that the roof is a good
job. Yes, | counted the bottles"
