Fairuiew School
Exhibition Closes
Tomorrow, Sunday

Tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, will
be your last chance to view the ex-
hibit of the work done by the pupils
of Fairview schools during the last
week.
The exhibition will be in the audi
torium of School No. 3, Cliff street,
and should be of interest to every
parent in the town. The display was
held Thursday and Friday afternoon
and evening, and many persons were
present and praised the work of the
pupils. The admirers did not forget
a word of praise for the Board Of
Education in picking suitable instruc-
tors for the youngsters, which is too
often the case.
Supervising Principal Masten has
gone to considerable trouble to ar
range for to-morrow's exhibition, and
hopes that he will be repaid for his
efforts in seeing large crowd
present.

Second Attempt To
Rob Film Co. Thwarted

A bold attempt to rob the Ideal
Film Company plant on the Hudson
Boulevard, Hudson Heights, early
last Tuesday morning was thwarted
by Samuel Mills, the Waterman of
the place.
After making his three o'clock
tour of the buildings, Mills seated
himself at his desk to make out his
report, when sound, not at all
familiar, came floating in from the
direction of the laboratory. Having
heard just such sounds at this point
of the building before and at Just
such lonesome hour, Mills decided
to investigate. His fears were well
founded. just outside the laboratory
door a man was busy trying to force
an entrance and never noticed the
presence of the Waterman.
In his eagerness to capture the
would-be robber, Mills tripped and
fell over chair as he reached for
his gun. The noise heightened the
man and by the time Mills had gath
cred himself together, Mr.. Burglar
was Logging it in the direction of
Woodcliff at LAO clip. Mills gave
chase, but gave up after a miles
run.
Last Tuesday mornings attempt to
rob the film plant was the second
within couple of weeks. That the
would-be burglars are bent on enter
ing the laboratory of the place is
evidenced by the fact that on both
occasion they have tried to force an
entrance at this point of the build
ing. The alertness of Waterman
Mills, has kept the men out of the
plant thus far

Fort Lee Dentist Ends
Life With Pistol

Elliot st. John Stacpoole, dentist,
practising in the First National Bank
Bldg, on Main street, Fort Lee, and
residing with his brother in-law at
129 W. 10th street, New York, COM
mitted suicide last Saturday by shoot
ing himself through the head while in
a sleeping room adjoining his office.
Miss Natal Anita Dragau, of
Englewood Cliffs, daughter of the
borough clerk, was in an adjoining
room when the shot was fired. 1t is
alleged that Stacpoole had sent for
Miss Dragaw to look over his books.
When she arrived he dispatched David
R. Runcie, his bookkeeper and assist
ant, upon an errand to purchase
dental supplies. Both Miss Dragaw
and Runcie were examined by Re-
corder Sheehan, but neither were
able to throw any light upon the
cause for Stacpoole shooting himself.
However, it developed that there had
been a slight falling off of his prac-
tice recently, but not to such an ex-
tent as to cause the man to become
Respondent.
Mr.. Stacpoole had been practicing
in Fort Leet for about year and a
half, and was looked upon as most
competent young man with a bright
future before him. He came of d
well-to-do family in New York City,
who are well known in social circles.

Insulting Old Glory
Proves Costly For
Union Hill Man

Charged with insulting the Ameri-
can flag and striking woman over
the face with the staff after he had
torn Old Glory from it's place, Anton
Fuchs, of 205 Fifth street, Union Hill,
was held in 5000 bail for a hearing
before Recorder Schulz, of Fairview,
when arrested late yesterday after
noon.
Fuchs, together with his wife, son
and father, was walking along Dan
Kelly's hill in Fairview yesterday
afternoon when an auto, owned and
driven by Joseph Askt, of 35 Nassau
street, New York, came along with
two American flags floating from the
machine. AS soon as the car hove in
sight Fuchs rushed to the middle of
the road and stood directly in front of
the car. Luckily, the driver was rum

aged to stop about six inches clear
of Fuchs.
AS soon DIS lie Cdr CAME 70 SCOp,
Fuchs began heaping abuse on its oc-
cupants, among whom were women.
Noticing his condition, they paid little
or no attention to his abusive Ian
guage until he grabbed one of the
flags from the dashboard and with an
oath broke the staff in half and began
striking Miss Friede Heise, of GA
Washington street, Hoboken, over the
face with the heavy stick. The woman
lodged the blows as best she could
and in missing Miss Heise, Fuchs
struck her companion, Mrs. Lehman,
Of Els East Twenty-third street, New
York, several times. Wilhelm Schmitz
of the above address, and who was
one of the auto party, climbed out and
after a hard struggle managed to
drive the half crazed Fuchs away just
as Officer Bert George appeared.
A large crowd congregated and as
soon as the news leaked out that
Fuchs had offered such insults to the
flag the officer had difficulty in re-
straining several in the throng from
handling him roughly. He was push

Heise made a charge against him.
When the young woman appeared in

which was caused by the blows from

Fairuiew To Build
New SchooIBe
OfCrowded Quarters

The proposition of erecting the
proposed new school in the lower sec
ton of Fairview was thoroughly dis
cussed at an adjourned meeting of
the School Trustees held in the Lin
coin school Thursday evening. Archi-
tect William Mayer was on hand with
rough sketches of the proposed build
ing and suggestions for improvements
to the plans as submitted by Mr..
Mayer were offered
The proposed building is to have
four class rooms with spacious audi
forum. 1t is planned to have every
modern improvement in the building
and if the project carries, and every
indication points that it will, the
structure will be that Fairview will
be rightfully proud of.
1t is proposed to use the sight
where the old school now stands,
providing the board can purchase adj
dltlonal property. Trustee Hopkins
stated that he had been informed by
the owners of the land that it was not
for sale, but the attorney has advised
the board that it can be taken by con-
domination proceedings if necessary.
The question of securing the sight
has been left in the hands of the at
torney. 1t was suggested by Trustee
Linskey that if the whole plot, which
contains about twelve lots, could be
purchased at reasonable price the
board would be wise in buying it in.
This proposition is to be looked into.
By way of getting away from the
old standard of numbering the
schools, Trustee Hopkins suggested
that the board fellow the idea of
naming it. He said that many resi-
dents had approached him on this
subject and all favor the name plan.
The residents of the lower section of
the town have suggested, too, that
the new school be given the name
English Neighbourhood," which the
| lower section of the town was known
by years ago, when persons first
lSsttled there. There is no doubt but
hRIeauest of the old timers of
will be complied with

the delighted audiences. The show
was a success in every sense of the
word and the future announcements
of the club will be watched for with
interest.
The hall of the club, beneath the
church, has been completely removal
ed, and it's changed appearance was a
pleasing surprise to those who at
tended the show. New and elaborate
scenery has been designed and paint
ed by Andrew Burns, and modern
system of electric illumination has
been installed. The improvements
give the hall an exceptionally fine APP
pearance and add to the charm of the
affairs held within it.

Your Mite Needed To
Swell Picnic Fund

picnic is growing slowly, but surely.
During the past week contributions
amounting to $46.75 were received,
making the total to date $131.50.
Remember there are four hundred
dollars needed to assure the kiddies
a good time on the day of the picnic,
which, by the way, is to be held at
Palisades Amusement Park on We'd
nesday, June %. And as we told you
before, in the event of rain on the
twenty-eighth, the affair will be post
poned until Friday, June 80.
Everyone is putting a shoulder to
the wheel that spells success for this
affair, SO come on with your mite.
Send nickle, a dime, anything that
looks like money will be gratefully
received and put to good use. There are
a lot of children going to this affair
the twenty-eighth who will not get
a taste of ice cream, to say nothing
of the other pleasures, for another
year.
Once again-it costs thirty-five
cents to give one youngster a good
time on this day. Before you lay
this paper down now, just dig down
in your jeans and put thirty-five cents
in an. envelope and direct it to Geo.
Ebel, Hudson Heights postohice.
That's right, now you feel more at
ease! We will have your name here
next week.
