Young Italians Burn
Spring House For
Bottling In Morsemere

The young Italians who were
caught after they had robbed the
Galloway home in Cumbermede road
in Palisade in the summer of 1914,
set fire to and burnt up the bottling
house at Trinity Spring, Morsemere,
last Sunday The loss was several
thousand dollars. They were arrested,
and are now in the Hackensack Jail.
When they were kept in Jail for
the Palisade robbery for time, the
boys were sent to a house of correc-
ton, but later released on promise of
good behavior. 1t was for the cap
ture of these youthful burglars by
policeman Tom Dalton that he was
awarded the gold medal for the most
heroic deed in police circles of Ber-
gen county for the year 1914, offered
by Major S. Wood McClave, of Grant
wood. He watched for the robbers
for a whole week by concealing him
self in the Galloway house, and finally
on a very hot morning, he was re-
warded by seeing them come in when
he ran up to the third story of the
house and held them up at the point
of pistol. 1t was a coura geous act
He did all the work while off duty
for his regular hours in Palisade.

What might have been serious
accident took place in Fort Lee last
Monday afternoon during the heavy
snow storm. While Andrew Cries, of
395 West 18th street, New York, was
coming down Main street, driving a
Hubmobile touring car, headed east,
ne saw trolley car Of the Palisade
line almost upon him. Before he
could do more than jam on his brakes.
ne saw he would be hit, SO he
jumped out in the snow and saved
himself. He was none too soon. for
the automobile was wrecked so badly
that traffic was tied up for over an
hour. Greis was unhurt, fortunately.
but his auto was a sight to behold.
1t took some time to clear the wreck.
A lot of movie actors and actresses
We're on the car at the time, and they
all had to take to the snow and wade

get back to New York, some Of the.

ernor, Makes Address Other Speeches on National
Struggle in November.

Mr.. Kuhn was not the only candi-
date for the Office, the name of Philip
c.. Wadsworth, of Glen Rock, being
put in nomination by former Assist
ant Prosecutor John B. Zabriskie.
Mr.. Wadsworth, however, in a
manly speech and for the sake OF
party harmony withdrew from the
race before vote was taken.
Mr.. Zabriskie paid glowing trib-
ute to the young committeeman from
Glen Rock, whom he declared had
turned his district from a Democratic
stronghold to three-to-one Republi-
can district, all in the short space of
two years.
Mr.. Kuhn was put in nomination by
Seymour N. Sears, of Cliffside, who
called attention to his faithful service
to the party for twenty-five years and
of his ability to fill the Office. The
nomination was hailed with loud ac-
claim, including decided preference
for the nominee.
Oscar w. Jeffrey, of Englewood
seconded the nomination and urged
the election of Mr.. Kuhn whom he
declared was a friend of every man
on the committee.
Mr.. Wadsworth's withdrawal was
hailed with storm of applause and
there is no question but that he made
host of friends by his action. He
was warmly congratulated after the
meeting.

Excellent Service
This Wintertime
From Public Service

The electric trolley car service this
winter by all the lines running to and
through the Hilltop section has been
excellent remarkable, in fact, con-
sidering the many heavy SHOWS since
early December.
There have been few delays at any
time, and the public duly appreciates
this kind of work. During the worst
snow storms of the winter, and ex-
cept for a run off Oh tMb, the delays
have been few and far between.
There is one thing, though, that
the Public Service seems powerless
to overcome: The starting Of ferry
boats on schedule time. At every
leaving time there has got to be sew
eral minutes wasted on the getaway.
Telling the starters to leave on time
won't work. They've got to have
two, three, four or five minutes of
laguiappe time or bust, and dynamite
would not move them until they IRE

mated on motion for the secretary to
cast one ballot.

cerned and promised them that nc
action would be taken on any matter
until the chair had consulted with
those interested.

vote Of confidence" he concluded and

but to serve you"
Mr.. Wadsworth was rendered a
seat along side the chairman but this
he declined
Mr.. Zabriskie offered a resolution
tending the undivided support of the
committee, which was unanimously
adopted.
State Committeeman Edmund w
Wakelee addressed the meeting on
the subject of delegates and alter
mates to the National Republican
Convention in June. He declared that
unless the various county committees
making up this Congressional District
worked together their work would
not amount to much. He said that al

tives Of the County Committees Of
this district it was arranged that
Bergen would have delegate and ar

Congressman Archibald C. Hart. in
answer to many communications on
the foreign situation, has sent out
the following reply, which clearly in
dicates his sympathy with the adj
ministration and his intention to
vote against the McLemore resolu-
ton which came up in the House last
Tuesday.
1T is idle for us to discuss the wis
dom of keeping out of the war. Even
without the horrible picture that con-
fronts US to-day, the frightfulness and
uselessness of war must influence all
our minds to abhor it and our natural
impulse is to refrain from doing any-
thing that might draw us into con-
fiict. Yet, withal, the present inter-
national situation is such that it is
absolutely essential that we present a
united front. The slightest show of
weakness at the present time will
provoke that conduct towards us by
other nations, that must result in
coWardly submission or in resent
ment leading to strife. I firmly be-
lleve that there is less likelihood of
"e+A ASou1ei1iS lIONl determined and
united attitude of the Administration
than from a weak and coddling one.
may be wrong, but this is my con-
viction and l believe it is the con-
viction of such constituents of mine
as view the situation in a sober man
ner; and because of it, / would feel
myself derelict were / to do aupht
but sustain the Administration.
The responsibility upon each of
US is awful, and it's force is felt by
me. As l recognize your patriotism,
| trust You will not question mine.
Il should not personally travel on
an armed belligerent vessel, and l
believe that any American who
would do so at the present time and
thereby lead this country into the
danger of strife, would be unpatri-
otto, when other means of travel are
open to him, but am acting now in
a legislative and not an individual
way, as part of our Government"

she began fifteen years ago, Laura
Biggar, or Mrs. Laura Bennett, as
she holds she is, yesterday lost her
suit in the Court of Errors and APP
peals for a share in the estate of
Henry M. Bennett. Bennett was a
wealthy resident of Farmingdale,
Monmouth county. Laura Biggar,
formerly an actress claimed to be the
wife of Bennett and charged that he
was the father of her unborn child.
1t was maintained that this asser-
ton was fraudulent and that Miss
Biggar presented bogus baby and
tried to palm it off as her own. She
sought to have the Bennett will set
aside, and to get part of the prop
erty Bennett owned, including the
Bijou Theater, in Pittsburgh.

An $500. 90 Garbage
Horse Is Killed By
Trolley Last Monda,

On Monday afternoon about one
o'clock last while the garbage team
owned by Austin Mannix was cross
ing the trolley tracks of the Pail
SADIE line near Brannigan's barn, it
was struck by an electric car going
south and one of the horses killed.
The driver saw the on-rushing car
in time to jump and escaped unhurt.
Strange to say, the other horse was
not even scratched. 1t is alleged
that one of the inspectors was driv-
ing the trolley car at the time. The
accident took place near the garbage
dump south of Brannigan's barn.
Mr.. Mannix valued the horse that
was killed at $500. He was a large
fine specimen of the draught animal
and the pair was well-known all over
the upper end of the borough.
