Woman Under Sheriff, Miss Kopp,
Saves Insane Man From Drowning
When He Jumps Into The Riuer
Female Officer Had Brought Tony Hojnacka to the
County Jail, When He Broke AlOay and Ran to the
RUer-- Would Not AIIoU Men to Rescue the Prisoner
feat Was No Easy One.

Miss Constance A. Kopp, an Under
sheriff of Bergen county, has again
distinguished herself as an intrepid
officer of the law, by jumping into
the Hackensack river last Sunday
midnight and rescuing a crazy man,
who was bent on self destruction.
The rescued man was Tony
Hojnacka, age At years, of Ga Ander-
son avenue, Wellington, who has been
in the county Jail since February 6,
to which institution he was commit
ted for twelve months by Justice
William H. Mayer, of that place, for
cruelty and neglect of children.
Hojnacka was yesterday adjudged
insane and ordered to be committed
to the Morris Plains insane asylum
by County Physician w. E. Ogden.
The papers in the case were turned
over to Miss Kopp by Sheriff Heath
and late yesterday afternoon prepara-
lions were made to take the man to
the asylum.
At 6 o'clock Sunday evening the
automobile in charge of Nicholas
Dunn and containing Miss Kopp and
the man, with Mrs. Robert N. Heath,
left the county Jail for Morris Plains.
Miss Kopp was under instructions
to stop in Rutherford for a Mrs.
Anna Kayser, of 134 Ferona way,
who was also to be taken to that in
stitution.
Arriving at the home of Mrs. Kay
ser, some difficulty was encountered
as to their authority for the removal
of Mrs. Kayser, with the result that
the expedition was delayed until a
late hour and all hands were ordered
by Sheriff Heath to return to the

They arrived here at midnight and
driving around to the east side of the
jail began the unloading of the two
patients.

Kayser, who it was said was unruly.

Boys Minstrels
Will Come Of On
Friday, May 10th

The boys minstrels now being
coached by Edgar Darby has fixed
the date of the performance for Fri
day night, May 26.
Owing to the success of the first
minstrel show by the Junior Civics
last year, Carney Hall was selected
Tor the second performance, and if
the present outlook is fulfilled many
will be turned away at that. There
isn't anything nearby in the way of
hall large enough to hold the crowd
this time, it is believed
The boys are being drilled several
nights, a week now, and Mr.. Darby
says the show will be bigger, better
ana brighter than ever. Many novel
ties will be introduced that will create
sensation.

Police OF CIiffside
Chafe AT Criticism

Members of the Cliffside Park
police force complain that recent re-
marks of derogatory nature eX-
pressed in public in regard to their
work have not tended to improve
their status in other communities
throughout the county. In regard to
the proposed addition of sergeant
to the force which has come to the
fore of late, the hope is expressed
that the powers that be will see the
wisdom of selecting such official
from among the present body.
