Auto Speeding .
On Anderson Ave.
Worse than Ever

The fast speeding continues along
Anderson avenue, in Palisade, with
out any effort to put a stop to it.
The speediest count that ever fitted
through, perhaps, was on Tuesday
evening last about six thirty. A gray
runabout came south, and as it
passed Dorincourt road, could not
have been going less than seventy
miles an hour. 1t went so fast that
it looked mere streak, and many
residents along the avenue wondered
what had happened. 1t raised ire
mendous dust as it. passed two re-
pair spots between Dorincourt and
Bluff roads.
The borough authorities would do
well to put out a few chasers and
make examples of these law breakers.

Conductor Killed
By an Englewood
Trolley, Friday

William Wescott, a well-known and
faithful conductor on the Hudson
River line, running from Paterson to
Edgewater, was Killed on Friday
near Morsemere.
The car was running east at the
time, when the trolley jumped the
wire. Westcott got off to fix it,
when an Englewood express coming
just in the rear, hit and killed him
instantly.
The accident occurred in the rock
cut on a curve, and the slippery
tracks caused the wheels to slip when
the brakes were applied.
Westcott was an old hand, lived in
Hackensack and leaves a wife and
two children.

Freeholders Order
Park C0ncessioners
To Disclose Incomes

At the Freeholders meeting on
Wednesday, the Tax Assessors of the
Boroughs of Cliffside Park and Fort
Lee were ordered to call upon Man
ager Schenck, of the Palisades Amuse-
ment Park, with the end in view of
getting at the incomes Of the con-
cessionaries. The impression has
long prevailed that the park was
getting off very lightly in the mat
ter of taxes, and this recent order
is virtually an order for a show
down from the park itself.
The order will undoubtedly create

In letter to The "Palisadian'
from Battle Creek Senator Charles
O'Conor Hennessy declines to stand
for the Democratic nomination fol
Governor of New Jersey, giving poor
health as the reason. The letter fol
lows:
The Sanitorium,
Battle Creek, Mich,
June 3, 1916.
To the Editor of the "Palisadian,"
Palisade, N. j.
Sir: Owing to the conditions of my
health, am obliged to withdraw from
all political activities for some time.
| wish to take this occasion to ex-
press to you my grateful appreciation
of the kindly and generous treatment
have always received from your
newspaper during my service in the
Legislature.
Yours very sincerely,
Charles O'Connor Hennessy.
In another letter Senator Hennessy
says he is out of politics for the
present and will not at this time
stand for the State Senate.
He says:
"When l left Hackensack a month
ago, after severe illness, | was as
sured that brief rest was all that
was needed to complete my recovery;
but more complete diagnosis at
Battle Creek of my condition, has
led to the advice of the physicians
that l must remain under medical
treatment for some mopt1n. to come.
l!l tssful
remembrance the generous assurance
of confidence and support that came
to me from a practically united Demo
cratic party in every section of my
home county,"
Senator Hennessy also sent let
ter to Charles H. Ingersoll, of East
Orange, the watch manufacturer, who
had undertaken to form a committee
of independent Democrats in Essex
county and elsewhere, to promote
Senator Hennessy's candidacy. Mr.
Ingersoll was active in formulating
the report of the State Manufacturers
Association which last winter recon-
mended the abolition of personal
property taxation. He has been ar
ardent supporter of Senator Hen
nessy's Home Rule Tax Bill.
The withdrawal of Senator Hen
messy will aid the Wittpenn campaign
beyond doubt, unless some other
ambitious candidate enters the race
Bergen county is a great breeding
place for candidates. Of course every.
body is sorry to know Senator Hen
messy is in such poor health, and hope
for his early recovery.

Just what has been looked for some
time has started on its way. Pick
pockets have begun to raid the cars
to the park, and last Sunday there
were many of the light Fingered
gentry around.
The observer" of Monday gives
the facts as follows:
That gangs Of New York pick
pockets are infesting the trolley cars
plying between Union Hill and Pail
sades Park and reaping harvest is a
fact that has been borne home force
fully to the Union Hill police. Al
though the summer has hardly begun,
as far as crowded trolley cars is con-
cerned, half dozen cases have al
ready been reported. AS result holi-
day seeking passengers are holding
their pockets in alarm on their trips
to and from the park.
Sunday the fifth case in a few
days was brought to the attention of
the Union Hill police. This report
was made by John Siebert, of 543
Blum place, Union Hill, who declared
that while he was a passenger on a
Palisade car between the Grantwood
Junction and Union Hill he had his
pockets picked and sos stolen.
On Sundes John Gleuck, jr., of
1876 Fourth street, son of the real
estate and shipping agent, reported to
the police that his pockets were pick
ed and SIG was stolen. Gleuck de-

On. the same day man who is
prominently connected with one of the
big plants in Union Hill, but who has
had his name kept secret, reported to
the police that his pockets were pick
ed and $500 stolen. This was the
largest theft reported so far.
On May IA Joseph Liquore, Of 536

trolley car, succeeded in catching

Constantinople was definitely aban-

allied troops withdrawn from the Gal
lipoli peninsula. About 10000 troops
had been used in this venture, sup
ported by a mighty fleet. Six battle
ships, five British and one French,
were sent to the bottom as well as
some minor craft and the casualties
were unofficially reported to be al
most equal to the original number of
the expeditionary force. This was the
result of six months of some of the
most sanguinary fighting of the war.
The second disaster of the British
was the surrender of 10000 troops
under General Townshend to the
Turks at Kut- El-Amara on the Tigris.
This expedition had made a sensation

mated at 100000 men, and is pre-

The principal success won by Aus
trian arms during the year was a
great offensive undertaken against
Italy in May. The Austrian forces
swept the Italian invaders back over
wide stretch of country in the Sou
thern Tyrol, reconquered about 270
square miles of Austrian territory
and carried the battle into Italy. The
Italians rallied, however, and at the
close of the twelve months had re-
gained a large portion of ground and
were vigorously pressing a counter

of the entente for concerted action.

The German official account of the

One other event on the sea aroused
intense interest On June Field
