Young Peoples
Society, Palisade
Union Church Meets

The Young Peoples Society met
last Sunday evening at the usual
hour, James Woolcott leading. His
subject was the Life Of Moses. He
gave an outline Of the main points of
Moses and his career, then calling on
several others who responded with
more detailed statements of the work
and purpose Of the great leader and
character builder Of the Hebrews. Mr..
McCord, Prof. Siceloff, Mrs. Sibley,
Mr.. Barsam and Charles T. Logan all
gave interesting talks on the subject,
so that the evening was greatly en-
joyed. One Of the statements about

Hennessy Cause
OF Court Reuersal

Regarding the action Of the Su-
preme Court, in reversing the convic-
tion Of ex-Sheriff George M. Brew
ster and Walter Scott, in the Mercer
county courts, the opinion contains
the following paragraphs:
"Section 63 and Ga of the Evil
dence Act, C. S. Vol. 2, 2239, confer
ring upon any joint standing or spe-
cial committee, the power to summon
witnesses, limits that power to the
committee, and they must exercise
their judgment as to what persons
shall be summoned as witnesses in
Investigating the matters delegated
to the committee by the legislature,
and q subpoena caused to be issued
by the chairman of the committee, or
any other member of the committee,
without the authority of the commit
tee is nullity, and the person sum-
moned is not bound to appear in re-
sponse to summons or subpoena so
issued.
"The trial court was requested to
charge there is no evidence that any
such committee ever authorized the
issuance Of subpoena or summons to
either defendant and also the pa
per writings served on the respective
defendants were beyond the author
ity Of the statute and the defendants
were not bound to respond thereto
"Both Of these requests were re-
fused and in this we think there was
error, because there was no evidence
that the committee ever authorized
the issuance of the subpoena or sum
mons. These were issued on the de-
termination alone Of the chairman,
and without any statutory authority,
and the defendants were not bound
to respond thereto. For this error,
the Judgment in each of the above
stated causes will be reversed"

messy was desirous Of having Mesrs.

The FroEckers''
Haze Split Up Into
Warning Factions

The Frolickers, a social and
dramatic club, of Grantwood, conf
posed Of number Of the young men
about town, and which has been in
existence about six years. The dra-
matte feature Of the organization
was introduced only about two years
ago when the club made its debut,
and also made great hit with a
show they put on that caught the
town. It was full of fun and frolic,
and quite well fitted the clubs name.
On February 4 last the club gave
its second show, which was even more
Of success than the first, Carney
Hall being filled to capacity, and the
town talked for several weeks about
it and the talent the boys had brought
out Nothing in Grantwood ever
scored greater success than the
Frolicker's last show and the clubs
future seemed assured. The boys
were very proud Of their triumph.
It was while q settlement Of tho
finances Of the last show was in pro-
cess week after It was given that
an element appeared that promised
trouble, and which finally reduced it
self to a DETECTION, and Rudolph
Pfeiffer, Lamar vieau, Richard Fox,
jr. and John E. Madden at this
meeting were asked to resign, which
they did on the spot, and then the
trouble began. It latter developed
that the revolt had already been or
ganized before the resignation took
place.
Consulting Arthur NJ. Agnew, d
well-known local attorney, the parties
named above applied for a charater
under the name Of "The Frolickers,"
and sent it on the sixteenth Of Feb
ruary for record at Hackensack.
Later the charter was issued at Tren-
ton, February 21. When this an
nouncement was made, the other
members, constituting q large ma
jority, over twenty, were up ip arms,
and are now engaged in an effort
to prevent the use of the clubs name
and title by the DETECTING members.
The feeling is intense. A member Of
the old organization in speaking to
the "Palisadian" on the subject Of
the split said this week:
"The whole thing is foolish at
tempt on the part of Vieau, Pfeiffer
and the others to break up our or
ganization merely because they could
not run it to suit themselves. Much
OF their conduct was not In accord
ance with the rules Of the club, and
their becoming sore was due entirely
because we wanted them to live up
to the rules, which were based on
common sense and justice. We feel
that we shall have the sympathy Of
the whole town in this fight for cur
rights, and the fact that new char
ter for The Frolickers' has been
granted to minority, and q small
minority at that, Of the old members,
will not cause US to lose cast before
the community. There wasn't the
slightest cause for any ruction, and
only the most extreme infraction Of
the clubs rules brought about the
disaffection. If the town knew the
facts in the case, we feel sure our
side Of the case would be upheld.
When just four members may under
take to break up an organization as
strong and staunch as ours is, it is
a pretty pass indeed. One Of the
dissenters, Richard Fox, jr., has with
drawn from the newly chartered
erovvd aud come hark home IN ~
claiming that he was led into with
drawing through misunderstanding
of the facts in the case"

J. w. Dudley for Sheriff.
Sfch. 81.

This week we present the an
nouncement of j. w. Dudley as
candidate for sheriff of Chaves
county, subject to the action of
the democratic primary election.
He is native of Texas, coming
to the Valley in 1905, where he
has made his home ever since.
In commenting on Mr.. Dudley
the Itagarman Messenger has
the following TO say in his be-
halfi
"Mr. Dudley is real sheriff
timber, His temperament, and
other natural qualifications, are
just such as ore needed in a
sheriff, and his business ability
to perform all the functions of
the office is more than ample.
His democracy comes by inher-
itence and after reaching the
age Of discretion he confirmed
hIs allegiance TO that political
faith by Supporting its princi-
pies on every occasion. Since
he has been resident of Chaves
county his political affiliations
have been unostentatious, new
er the-less enthusiastic and reg4
ular
In personal character Mr..
Dudley is a good citizen
and a gentleman of unquestion-
ed integrity, His ambition to
be sheriff of Ohaves county is
prompted as much by a desire
to serve as it is by selfish mot
ives, and in the event of his
nomination and subsequent cleo
tion, he promises to discharge
tht duties of the Office with fidel-
ity to the common good, asking
no favors only the cooperation
Of every good citizen to the end
that all law abiding citizens
may be protected and all infrac-
tions of the law may he punish
