Hennessy Is Man Of
Straw Says Maley

Lawyer Patrick Henry Maley, who
is one of the most active non-office
holding Democrats in Bergen county,
issued statement last week rela-
tive to the announcement of Senator
Charles O'Connor Hennessy's can
didacy for Governor. Mr.. Maley, who
is known to be strongly in favor of
Naval Officer H. Otto Wittpenn, of
Hudson county for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, did not
sign the Hennessy letter that was
forwarded to State Chairman Gross
cup on Tuesday of Last week. Mr..
Maley said:
Il am not at all surprised. I've
known the announcement would be
made since 1911, when Hennessy told
me he would seek the Governorship.
He has no qualifications for the Of
flee that would commend his candi-
dacy to me. He has done nothing
IN his political career but to attract
attention to himself by assailing
mems characters, talking graft with
out convicting a CRATER, setting up
men of straw only to knock them
down, and fighting political wind
mills. He is the Don Quixote of the
Democratic party of Bergen county.
What l think of his chances for the
Gubernatorial nomination is ex-
pressed in this telegram 1 sent to
Chairman Grosscup concerning Chas.
OConnor Hennessy's candidacy. He'll
get as many votes in Bergen on pri-
mary day as he had signers to his
letter."

Might Auto Accident
Breaks Mans Legs,
Dislocates Shoulder

DIR. William F. Reynolds, Hack
ensack veterinarian, was painfully
injured at $50 o'clock New Years
morning when his auto and the
heavier machine of James J. Bertholf
met in collision on the Essex street
hill, Hackensack.
DR.. Reynolds is in the Hackensack
Hospital suffering from the fracture
of both legs, one being broken in two
places, and the dislocation of his
shoulder.
The injured veterinarian was re-
turning from Paterson where he had
been called at midnight by DR.. R. w.
Butterworth, who had been sworn in
as city veterinary, and who was
rushed with work.
Mr.. Bertholf says he was on his
way to the Hackensack Hospital with
nurse who had been a guest at a
family New Years party. Mrs. Ber-
tholf and Robert Barry were also in
the car.
eve were travelling on the right
side of the road going up the hill
when we saw the other car coming
directly for u.s." said Mr.. Bertholf.
Fearing of crash, we swung across
toward the other side of the road,
but the other car swung across at
about the same time and struck us
in about the center of my car"
DR.. Reynolds says that he had shut
off his power and was coasting down
the center of the road when he saw
the car coming up the hill suddenly
swing across the road directly in
front of him, as though planning to
turn the corner to the Hospital street.
The crash occurred just east of
Third street, where the Hospital is
located, and the small Ford car of
DR.. Reynolds was found in the center
of the road after the accident.
Chief of Police Dunn is making an
investigation.
James G. Reynolds, of the Reynolds
Iron Company, of Paterson, brother
of DR.. Reynolds, came over for con-
ference with Mr.. Bertholf, which re-
suited unsatisfactory. Mr.. Reynolds
says he will engage counsel and will
endeavor to fix the true responsible
ity for the accident.

New Years Eue At

December thirty-first witnessed
many parties to welcome the new
year in Palisade, among which was
an impromptu affair, arranged by
Miss Marion Flagge. A number of
neighbors were telephoned to and all
those who did not have previous en-
gagements accepted and were pres
ent. Games of every conceivable
kind were played, and when the in
genuity of everyone exhausted, Este
Flagge took the whole party coast
ing on his fine new bobsled, which
he had just recently completed. The
new Year was then ushered in amid
the roar of cannon, which some
one produced, and every other con-
ceivable instrument of disturbing the
peace. Dainty refreshments were
served and it was we'll on into 1916
before the guests departed. Those
present were: Miss Alice Thayer,
Miss Genevive Schlatter, Miss Spier,
Miss Field, of Englewood, Miss Mar
ion Flagge, Mr.. Robert T. Livingston,

Aftermath and Comments of the
Davis Trial

If Principal Davis was responsible
for all of the departments and phases
of our school system which Supervisor
Davis claims he was, we could dis
pense with the Supervisor, the janitor
and the Board of Education.
Justice is lame as we'll as blind
among us.AOtway. On the first night
of the trial, in addition to the above,
Justice seems deaf, dumb, and totally
paralyzed.
Only one former pupil of Mr.. Davis
testified against him. Twelve testi-
fled for him and another twelve want
ed to be called, but Lawyer Mackay
thought it unnecessary.
One of the High School teachers
who testified for Mr.. Davis had care
fully observed his work for nine years
and another for seven. Those who
testified against him had been in
the schools but three months.
Lawyer Morrison stated that the
High School is rafting and humping
alng and that the whole thing racks
as it moves. The wonder is that it
even moves. Walter Davis must have
been some principal to keep the in
stitution together at all, with four
Supervisors in eight years, whole
sale dumping of unprepared pupils
from the eighth grade, and system
of marking that made the examina-
tions farce.
The decision of the School Board
and their unfair attitude, especially
on the first night of the trial, has
brought protests and denunciation
from every section of the village and
from members of every church.
If President Bernecker could have
foreseen the present attitude OF
Ridgefield Parks citizens, the charges
would have been relegated to the
same place as was the county GER
tificates.

an East End boarding school. A little

some natural history questions.

A Hot Time In The Old Toun
Tonight" Re-enacted Last Week
In Mass Meeting At Rdgefeld Park

Over in Ridgeield Park the gen

agitated over the conviction of High
School Principal Walter G. Davis
who was tried before the Board Of
Education for inefficiency. The PEG.
pie did not think the charges just
and regarded the trial farce ane

Of the latter, Rev. Allan MacNeill
spoke out in meeting with greater
final verdict of the board "damn-
force than elegance and called the
able outrage" The Bulletin in speak
ing of the affair said, among other
things: The Rev. Allan MacNeill was
elected chairman of the meeting, and
in his opening remarks made plea
for justice and fair play, which will
go down in the annals of Ridgefield
Park as being second to no speech
ever delivered from local platform
He characterized the treatment ac-
corded Mr.. Davis as a "damnable
outrage" and stated that he never
believed that there were men in
Ridgefeld Park who would enter
tain such so-called charges and then
dare to bring in such so-called
verdict. 81 am now convinced" said
the pastor, "that we have some peo-
pie who would dare to do anything.
have had the experience. l believe
that the heart of Ridgefield Park
rings true, and that the citizens of
our town will not only demand that
Walter Davis be given square deal,
but that they will see to it that he
gets it." This was followed by ire
mendous ouburst of applause.
Other speakers of the evening
were equally as vehement, and after
passing set of resolutions denounc-
ing the stand of the Board of Educa-
ton and urging the Reinstatement
of the High School Principal, the
meeting adjourned.
A monster petition of protest is
expected that 1000 or more names
will be obtained.
At the big mass meeting the Presi-
dent of the Board of Education, who
undertook to explain the rumor that
Principal Davis had been offered
5000 and recommendation to leave
town, was roundly Kissed.

Meanest Man Stole
All Electric Lights
From Community Tree

There are varying degrees and
grades of the "meanest man." The
chap who stole all the electric lamps
from the Municipal Christmas tree in
Ridgefeld Park, however, will run
any man close place for honors on
being low down. The ladies of the
village got up big community tree,
then went all over town and bor-
rowed lamps from residences. When
the people were resting after their
enjoyment over the beautiful spec
tacle of an electric lighted tree, this
scamp came along and stole all the
lamps. The situation was very en-

Old Freeholders Say
Their Expenditures
Will Profit County

Declaring that he believed the
Board of Freeholders for the year
1915 would go down in history as
having done more for the county
than any other Board, Director Jack
L. Fox thanked the members for
their earnest cooperation for the
past year, at the final meeting Of
the Board on New Years Day.
Continuing the Director said:
although large sums of money
have been expended by this Board,
fully and honestly believe that the
return values to this county will be
ten-fold. 1t may not happen in a
week, month or a year, but l never
theless honestly believe what / say
to be true"
The Board, twenty-one members Of
whom answered to the roll call, adj
journed sine die, five minutes before
noon on January 1.
At noon, Clerk Shuart called the
Board together and the business Of
organizing the body for 1916 was
conducted.
Jack L. Fox, of Dumont succeeded
himself as Director and Harry A..
Shuart was re-appointed Clerk. Miss
Redmond will continue as steno-
grapher.
Freebooter John T. Harrop opposed
the appointment of permanent of
ficials on the ground that temporary
organization was sufficient to carry
over until the Small Board members
would take over the management of
county affairs.
On advice of counsel it was, how

first official reports. Six or seven
zeppelins formed the squadron. They

pelins very soon after they reached
points over British soil and anti
aircraft guns opened at once. The
dirigibles flew at heights Of from
5000 to 5000 feet.
In the fourth air raid in less than
seven days British patrols were able
to sight the aerial invaders before

ings were sent broadcast over all the
east coast counties long before the
dirigibles appeared overhead.
