It was declared last Saturday that
if the Freeholders of Essex, Hudson
and Bergen counties do not come to
some agreement during the next
wear to build a bridge across the
Hudson river the New Jersey ana
New York Bridge Association Will
cause bill to be introduced IN the
next legislature providing for the
construction of a bridge by the state.
according to Frank q. Turner. OF
this city, counsel for the organlza-
ton.
"The association will have NOTHING
to do with any proposition to bulld
tunnels under the river to New
York" said Mr.. Turner, "but it IN
tends to keep up the agitation Tor a
bridge. We expect to take up the
matter again with the Essex poara
of freeholders.
1T hardly seems fair" he con-
tinted. "to expect three counties TO
nav for a bridge which will beneht
most of the state. l believe that the
taxpayers in these three counties are
willing to pay the cost if their free
holders will take some action. II,
however, the delay continues 1t Will
be necessary to secure the improve
ment through another avenue, whlcn
would mean an issue of bonds by the
state" ~
The association will meet in Ber-
genfields on April IL to discuss the

last Tuesday afternoon, casting his
eye along the string of factories at
the foot of the Palisades in Edge

strikes are the burning question of
the day.
"Not only here, either" he con-
tinued, "but a number of our men are
being withdrawn from this place to
be sent to the paper strike at Niagara
Falls. This noon the New York Cen
trail track workers walked out; and
others of our men are being sent to

agitated for the strike walked out

Cornelius Doremus
Named For Senator

"Strong efforts are being made by
friends of ex-Judge Cornelius Dore-
mus, from various sections of Bergen
county, to induce him to run for state
senator this fall on the Republican
ticket" says the Passaic Herald.
Gle has been president Of the First
National Bank of Garfield ever since
its organization, ten years ago, and
IS well known. -
When interviewed, the judge said
he appreciated the spirit which ami
mated the action of his friends and
was thinking it over very seriously.
1t is thought by others who have
been seen, that he will be induced to
enter the race, and if so, he will
make an exceptionally strong candi-
date"

Baby Wittpenn Hill,
Heir To Big Fortune,
Born During Dinner

On Saturday night of last week
Naval Officer H. Otto Wittpenn, can
didate for the Democratic Guberna-
torial nomination, had two honors
conferred upon him in this county.
The first was dinner rendered to
him by a large gathering of en-
thusiastic admirers from the City of
Englewood, at the Hotel Palisade,
that city, and the second was the ac-
QUESTION of name-sake, who will
undoubtedly develop into a staunch
Democrat. The story of how he
gained this youngest of mascots fol-
lows:
DR.. Valentine Ruch, of Englewood,
was attending the aforementioned
dinner, when he received a telephone
call that sent him rushing in his auto
mobile from the hotel to the home of
Myron Hill, at Tenafiy.
The doctor arrived just in time to
greet the stork who was bearing in
its arms male heir to the Hill for
tunes.
Now what about a name?" asked
Dr. Ruch.
Let's name him after you," sug-
.geSted th10GS tIS father.

step pennantward last Saturday af-
ternoon by defeating the Holly boys

crowd at Association Park. The boys
showed marked improvement over
their last game-Gnd they were good
then. Some idea of their class can be
had by taking the scores Of the three
games they have played. The total
shows that they have scored ia
points and have never had score
registered against them. Saturday
they proved they could handle the
forward pass, which they frequently
fumbled the week before, and they
made several fine gains by working
it. The Savages scored three touch
downs in the first quarter, and one in
each succeeding one and kicked four

splendid game all through and have
developed a machine under the guild
ance of Mr.. Koonsman that promises
to clean up everything in this end of
the state. The man who gets the
ball has the aid of a powerful and
united interference in carrying it
down the field and it is seldom they
fail to make good gains.
The Holly boys were game losers
and fought to the last ditch to make
a score. They have adopted football
for the first time this year and this
was the first league game any of
them ever participated in. Individual
ly they played a good game but have
not yet acquired the team work neces-
sary to complete first class scoring
