Hudson Heights Stop


"You can put me down.. said, a
prominent resident of the. Hilltop
section last Saturday, "as unequivoc-
ally opposed to, that fool change cars
business at. Hudson Heights. Why
last week during that cold weather
l had taken a Palisade car at Wee
hawken, and never once thought of
having to get out and hang on for
ten minutes or more waiting in the
cold for another car. But that's
what happened, and ]. was sore, clean
through. True, there is a little
waiting room, but it is SO crowded
one could not be comfortable in it a
minute, I saw woman with two
small children, one an infant in arms,
compelled to get. out in that cold at
Hudson Heights. She fairly shiv-
cred, then had to get into that little
waiting room and stand up till an
other car came along. What sense is
there in that business? 1t isn't five
minutes away from Palisade juno
ton, and nothing whatever is gained
by shifting passengers from one car
to another that way. The public is
not benefited, but it is greatly in
convenienced." =.

Bond Issue
Brings Big Premiums

Quite in contrast with the recent
sale of Bergen county bonds by the
old Board of Freeholders is sale
of refunding bonds of Hoboken last
Wednesday morning. The Bergen
bonds were sold without bidders at
about par, while $4,000 of the Ho-
boken bonds brought $181 ,685.71, or
premium of $12,605.71.
There was large number of bid
ders, A. B. Leach & Co., being the
successful firm. R. M. Grant, of
New York, was second highest, with
$181, 1902, and Gibbons & Co., of
New York City, bid $181, 117.30, be-
ing third.
These prices are the highest ever
bid for City of Hoboken bonds, and
are indicative of the prosperity of
the city and the place it holds in the
estimation of the financiers of New
York City.
1t is interesting to note that the
$4,000 asylum, thirty-year bonds,
offered by the Board of Freeholders
a few days ago, were sold at a
premium of $1,583.40, which was
considered a particularly fine price,
being the best in five years. IS

Bergen Assemblymen
To Fore At Trenton

The barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT in
the Office of the County Supervisor of
Roads at Hackensack Court House
was attacked on Tuesday last by
long-range guns from Trenton. On
that day the appointee of the new
Freebooter Board, John 7. Harrop,
accompanied by County Counsel
Clarence Mabie, appeared before the
State Road Department at Trenton
to request the release of State Road
funds to Bergen county. The hold
up is occasioned by the refusal of
former Road Supervisor Ernest Thier
to vacate his office.
Assemblyman Herbert M. Bailey,
of Bergen county has mailed copies of
the bills on county and municipal fl
nancing which are of moment to Ber-
gen county. These bills will come
up for consideration next Tuesday
morning before the Assembly Judi
ciary Committee at Trenton. They
include a bill providing for serial
bond issues; the making of January
the beginning of the fiscal year;
and the fining of municipalities
when they do not pay their taxes to
the County Collector on time.

Woman Left
In Burning House

On Wednesday morning last an
aged lady, Mrs. J. Quigley, was sit
ting in her bedroom in Jersey City
when a fire started in the adjoining
rooms of her son-in-law, Allen Ruth
erford, and soon the entire apart
ment was filled with smoke.
In response to the patrolman's
alarm an auto-engine appeared bear
ing among other fire officers Lien
tenant Frank Ertle. Rushing into
the smoke filled building he was MAX
ing his way blindly along when a
child's voice came to his ears
"Grandma's in the other bedroom"
Although he could make his way
along only by the sense of feeling,
the lieutenant managed to find the
helpless woman, and lifting her
form bodily, he CROPPED his way
toward the entrance, finally succeed
ing in reaching the outer air. His
appearance was greeted by stun
ming cheer, but when he was asked
to make statement about his gal
liant rescue, the lieutenant refused
to do so, saying that it was ii the
simple line of duty.

Christmas Brings
Cheer To Fine Young
Newark Violinist

The holidays of 1915-1916 are like
ly to be long remembered by diminu-
tive Max Gladstone, as they probably
mark the beginning of his career as
a musician. The circumstances are
not without human interest.
On Christmas eve, Mrs. John
Philip Sousa, wife of the March King,
drove to several of the city parks
where the municipal government had
provided illuminated trees for the
poor children of the city. She had
filled her automobile with dolls and
toys to distribute and when she
reached Madison Square Park at
23rd street, she was attracted by a
youngster, himself tattered and rag
ged, playing a violin for the vast
collection of the city poor children
congregated around him. She was
amused at first but soon joined the
others in admiration of the little fell
lows remarkable ability. Calling him
aside she found that he was Max
Gladstone of 1859 Livingstone street,
Newark, and that he was as needy
as the little urchins he was trying to
entertain. Enlisting the support of
her famous husband Mrs. Sousa sent
for the lad latter and he is to be
given a musical education and his
talents developed under their guild
ance. Mr.. Sousa recalled that he
himself had begun his career at the
age of eleven, which is the same age
as Master Gladstone and with a
violin. When the great conductor
asked his protege how he could best
serve him, he replied: "Let me play
in your band, l want to earn some
money with my fiddle" But the
March King explained that there was
no string instruments in Sousa's band,
However, he spoke to R. H. Burnside
the general stage director for Charles
Dillingham;, and it was decided that
if Mayor Mitchell will grant him a
special permit, Mr.. Dillingham; will
arrange for his appearance in the
Fifth Avenue scene of clip Hip
Hooray" where his playing can be
heard by the large audience of the
Hippodrome-and he can earn a
salary.

Hoboken Youth
Kidnaps Aunt And
Lands In Lookup

Hoboken, Jan. 20.-Arthur Cooper,
the twenty two-year-old youth who
kidnapped his uncle's pretty young
wife, Mrs. Bessie Zubrod, of Will
iamsburg, and was taking her to
Washington, N. j., when arrested in
the Lackawanna station here, found
he was in a lot of trouble when he
was arraigned before Recorder Car
stem in Hoboken. All the Recorder
did to him was:
Committed him to the county peni-
tertiary at Snake hill for ninety days
as disorderly person.
Held him for the grand jury upon
a charge of carrying a concealed
weapon. Held him for the federal
authorities upon a charge of having
violated the Mann white slave law.
Held him for the New York au-
thorities, where it was said he might
be prosecuted for making threats
upon the life of his aunt, carrying a
concealed weapon and also for
breaking d pdIOlS.
In court Cooper said:
at was my intention to shoot her
and myself if she made an cutlery,
but they took me by surprise"
Mrs. Zubrod told the recorder that
because Cooper, who lived with the
Zubrod family, annoyed her with his
advances she caused his arrest, but
that the young man was paroled on
his promise to keep away from the
house.
On his last visit, however, he rang
her bell, forced the door open when
she tried to shut it and with a re-
volver held against her body made
her pack a suit case, and, with her
fve-year-old son, start with him for
Washington, N. j.
Each time they passed police
man Cooper, pretending to take her
arm, would press the muzzle of the
revolver in his coat pocket against
