Killed By Fall On
Hard Saloon Floor

William Barrett walked into ]. j.
Maylot's saloon, Cliffside, on one
night last week, and presenting HIM
self at the bar, demanded of the at
tendant to be supplied with a drink.
AS he did not have anything with
which to pay therefor, his request
was refused.
According to the statement of the
barkeeper, backed up by three per-
sons who were in the room at the
time, Barrett thereupon hauled off as
if to strike the former, who showed
him off. Barrett lost his balance
and fell with crash to the hard
floor and was knocked unconscious.
A physician being called, it was found
that the mans skull had been frac-
tured, and death resulted shortly
afterwards.
The claim is made by Barrett's
friends that the bartender struck
him with bottle, but this is denied.
The latter is now in Hackensack Jail.
He will be tried next week.

Bomb Plot Is
Unearthed In
CiffsidePark

Nine lives of the family of
Clemente Papa and others at Gorge
road and Oakdene avenue were placed
in danger of instant death at mid
night Of Tuesday last, when a bomb
exploded in the vestibule of the Papa
home.
Clemente had closed his saloon at
11.30 as usual that night and all
souls in the building were peace
fully asleep when a few minutes be-
fore twelve, the entire building was
shaken by a terrific explosion, ac-
companied by the crash of falling
glass, the cracking of timbers and
falling plaster. A blast as of a
violent tornado was felt in all parts
of the building, and doors were
forced ajar as in an earthquake.
The inmates of the house and of
the nearby houses rushed from their
beds in a state of panic.
It was found that bomb had
been placed at the inner corner of
the entrance vestibule next to the
wall Immediately behind the saloon.
The vestibule was found heaped with
the entire plaster lining of the YES
tibule and the door where the glass
had been was gaping hole. A great
crack in the corner of the vestibule
floor showed where the bomb had
blown through and down to the eel
lar. As result none Of the inmates
of the building were touched, and
the crime of murder committed.
Latest developments in the bomb
mystery point to a Black Hand at

Raps Hennessy Some Ripping Blows;;
In Letter To County Chairman The
Mayor Of Alpine DEGREES Senator
In Well Directed Attack Mayor Neidlinger Asks if
Hennessy Opponents are to Poke Their Heads in the
Sand and Play Ostrich?-- Calls Hennessy's Primary
Candidates .sHnnd Picked. -
NEIDLINGER FAVORS WITTPENN FOR GOVERNOR

Maybe you think the political mil
lenium is here? Well it amt. You
know all about these political hopes
with reverse English attachments.
Tell me, are Hennessy's opponents
supposed to put their heads in the
sand, ostrich-like, and pull them out
only after the "harmonizing" is done
and leave their memories where they
had their heads?
eff you are going to have harmony
why not have the clean smelling
kind? The kind that's built on the
rock foundation, not the kind that
yells Wilson politics and then con-
ducts, the public business in a closed
room of a club; not the kind that
breaches the holiness of the Geran
Act and then hand-picks our candi-
dates for US; not the kind that pre-
tends Democracy or the rule of the
majority, and then "bolts" the will
of the majority. Hennessy means
all this.
eff the Democracy of Bergen
county did what its plain duty is to
do, it would get behind unquestion-
ably the strongest Democrat in the
State for Governor and that man
unqualifiedly is Naval Officer H.
Otto Wittpenn. He should be pre-
scented to the electorate of the State
for its support. AS he has always
stood, he stands to-day, for Wilson'S
principles exactly as they IRE I'M
derstood by the man in the street
and not the kind whose precept and
example are so Numerically opposed
as we find in the case of your can
didate.
"You'll never see the day again
when few men can bolster up a
weak candidate and have the voters
step to their music"

The candidacy of Senator Charles
O'Connor Hennessy for Governor is
not meeting with that gracious favor
throughout the State and in Bergen
county especially that his friends had
hoped. The pullers of pull for the
senator have given him all in their
power, and yet he appears to have
renewed opposition.
The latest public man to whang
Mr.. Hennessy over the head is Mayor
Neidlinger, of Alpine. Mr.. Neid-
linger's remarks about the Senator
are rather more brusque than kind.
His cause of complaint starts when
he sends letter to Jesse Moore, who
heads the county committee, whom
he rebukes for signing an endorse
ment of Senator Hennessy without
first consulting with the other mem
bers of the committee over which he
presides. In this he was, no doubt,
justified, for it must have taken the
other members somewhat by sur
prise as an act per Sc.
In part, here is what Mayor Neid-
linger wrote to the county chairman,
which is hot tamale for fair:
"Do you imagine for one minute
that the Democratic workers of Ber-
gen are going to forget so soon the
contempt Hennessy held them in when
he insisted on picking the party's
candidates for the primaries? Do
you suppose these workers are going
to forget the attempt of Hennessy
and his friends to mislead them by
evasive half-truths, if not falsehoods ?

Cliffside Realty Co. S
Office Damaged By
Fire,Cause Unknown

The attractive office of the Cliffside
Park Realty Company, at Edge
water Heights station was badly
damaged by fire on Thursday night
last. Shortly after nine o'clock
passersby were startled to see a
bright light in the room nearest the
trolley tracks and smoke issuing
from the windows and roof. In a
very few moments the building was
ablaze, the fire burning with the
greatest intensity in the smaller
west room of the office, and break
ing through the windows to the porch
and outer walls.
The fire ladies responded quickly
to an alarm, and it is only through
their efforts that the probably COM
-plete destruction of the building was
prevented. AS it was, the west office
was Quilted through the ceiling and
the roof, the walls and furniture
charred to a crisp and many valuable
papers and maps destroyed. Thanks
to the safe in which they were placed
the books and accounts of the Realty
Company were preserved unharmed.
The main Office of the building was
somewhat less ruined, the fire fore
ing an entrance through the door OF
the rear office. The stove, strange
to say, in the main office, was I'M
touched, and hours later the fire was
peacefully burning in it, apparently
as though it had not just passed
through a furnace itself,
The damage to the building is
covered by insurance. The Realty
Company moved yesterday with it's
effects to the building on Palisade
avenue opposite Cliffside school No.
8. The work of restoration on the
wrecked building will begin at once.

McClaue Boom For
Congress Launched

At the meeting of the Republican
County Committee held last Wednes-
day evening at Hackensack, County
Committeeman Herman B. Hoeckel-
berg made an appeal for the nomina-
ton of Major S. Wood McClave for
Congressman from the Sixth District.
Mr.. Hoeckelberg urged that there
should be no further delay in making
this nomination as the time between
now and the September primaries
was short enough at best. The
majors hat was in the ring, said the
committeeman, and the people were
glad of it, AS candidate he would
have no trouble getting more than
half the Democratic votes in the Pail
sades' section of the county.
The committeeman went on to say
that the major had been one of the
leading factors in bringing about the
issuing of transfers from the Pail
SADIE Line to Edgewater Ferry which
was promised for January 25. He
had worked harder than any man in
Bergen county for the three-cent
fare from Edgewater to New York.
The same was true in regard to the
Hudson River bridge.
"Major McClave," said Mr.. Hoeck-
elberg, "has served the borough of
Cliffside Park for two terms as
mayor, and is as active out of Office
as in. He is a good husband, and a
good father to a large family; he is
also a good politician, having re-
ceived nominations twice when de-
feat was practically certain. The
major has also withdrawn couple
of times from the race, for the sake
of peace and harmony in the party
ranks.
The committeeman concluded by
saying that next November would see
the Republican party back in power
in the county and country. He was
sure that there was no man in the
Sixth District more deserving of the
nomination for Congressman than
Major S. Wood McClave.

This time a departure is made and
the programe is to be ragtime one
with some of the cleverest opponents
of the syncopated art in both Grant
wood and Palisade. To reveal the
various numbers and artists now
would be to spoil a pleasant surprise,
but suffice it to say the catchy num-
bers will include solos, sketches and
instrumental music by well known
singers of more than local fame.
Refreshments will be served dur
ing the intermission between the
two parts of the ragtime program
and they will be discussed in rag
time, too. The admission is only
twenty-five cents, as usual, for a
most unusual evening.

BOOM LAUNCHED FOR MAJOR McCLAVE

That the Republican County Com
mittee, or at least certain members,
are not entirely satisfied with the APP
pointments made by the new Board
of Freeholders was indicated on We'd
nesday evening last at the monthly
meeting of the Committee, when
rather pointed remarks were made
concerning their action in this re-
spect.
Seymour N. Sears, of Cliffside, de-
clared that ugly stories were going
the rounds concerning "one-man
control" of patronage of the Repub-
lican administration, which looked
bad for the Republican party. . He
said that if the stories were true, 1T
indicated a peculiar state OF affairs
and that the County Committee
should take some action.
William G.. Gilhuly, of Englewood,
reporting for the Bylaws Committee,
said the bylaws were not ready as
vet. and on motion the matter was
referred back to the subcommittee,
to report at the next meeting.
Chairman Randolph Perkins en-
deavored to make it appear from the
report of the Bylaws Committee that
it was a lack of bylaws which had
prevented the County Committee from
taking any acton relative to patroris
age.
The committeeman from Teaneck
complained that Charles Anderson
had been appointed by the new Board
of Freeholders as bridgetender on the
Anderson street bridge and after
serving week had been turned out
and the former bridgetender, who is
a Democrat, returned to the position.
John R. Ramsey said that if such
was the case the Board of Freehold
ers should pass resolution replac-
ing Anderson.
P. A. Kuhn, of Union, also made
an attack on the patronage handed
out by the Freeholders. He said that
a man in his district had been prom
ised a position as bridgetender, but
that Democrat had been put on the
