Smoke-Stocks On
Big Coz. Ship

Ever since the declaration of
state of war there has been anchored
in the Hudson opposite Palisade and
about the middle of the river, a big
siX-masted acknowledged vessel.
She is long, lean and lank, has
black sides and red underbody, and
looks like freighter No one seems
to know her use in the navy, but she
evidently is government vessel of
some kind. Some have said she is a
collier, but there are no men of war
near needing coal. Others think she
is machine shop, but most people
don't know what the samheck she is
or may be.
Anyhow, the meat of this story is
that her foremost is her smokestack.
At any hour passing ferry boaters
watch the soft coal smoke pouring
from her foremost and then they
begin to talk and wonder.
"She must use that smokestack for
a donkey engine" suggested one man
up on things like that.
NAV" added another, "that's just
her smithy-forge working"
Still another passenger said, "Well,
anyhow she's a sailor alright, for you
couldn't set up enough steam through
that bean pole to float her to the
battery with the tide going out"
A lady passenger looked out of
the Fort Lees" big glass sides and
demurely remarked yesterday, my
husband keeps coming home nights
telling me that's a puzzle ship.
think its just the cute way they have
of fooling the enemy out at sea to
make 'em see the smoke and think
it's battle ship in the distance"
"Oh! do you really think so,
ma 2" asked her little daughter. 'I'll
tell dad about it."

$2,5O0,OOC For
Interstate Park

Gov Whitman, of New York, has
just signed the bill passed by the
New York Legislature appropriating
S2,500,O0O toward the enlargement
of the Interstate Palisade Park pro
ject, and for the development of the
present park further.
This liberal donation by the State
of New York insures further progress
in connection with this great park
undertaking.
New Jersey this year actually ap-
propriated $4,000 toward the park
and made an appropriation of $685.
600 also for expenses of the Inter
state Park Commission.
Under the Wakelee Oct of 1910
there are still due now from New
Jersey the sum of 100000.
Under the Glover Act passed by
this years New Jersey Legislature
the State obligated itself to pay
100000 additional in five annual in
stallments of 100000 each.
The generous appropriation just
made by New York will place at the
disposal of the Park Commission
needed funds that the New Jersey
Legislature failed to appropriate
owing to the heavy demands this
year in other directions.

COUNCILMAN OBJECTS ToEAPPARArUs g;a

Wrangling and pickering marred
the perfect performance of the meet
ing of the Cliffside Council Board
held last Monday night at the Bor-
ough Hall. A brave attempt was
made to show who's who" and just
who hasn't authority. At times all
decorum was thrown to the winds
and grand stand plays to the gallery
gods was in evidence. And after the
smoke of battle died down and scores
checked up it was found that nobody
in particular was punished to any
extent. AS a matter of fact, it ap-
pears that those who set out to get
somebody only got in their own way,
and the victim, who had been pre-
pared for a Roman holiday came out
on top.
Chronically, the events of Monday
night are as follows:

held on Thursday night, March 20, at

pose of taking action on measures
advocated by the Cliffside Park Bor-
ough Safety Commission, and it was
deemed advisable to appropriate

Wife Beaten Sentenced
By Recorder Schulz

Although John Pagno, of Franklin
avenue, Fairview, has broken the
laws of the land on more than one oc-
casion, he has always been fortunate
to escape punishment, due to wife
who would get down on her knees
and plead for him until the court
give him his liberty. However, John
came to a sad ending when he ap-
peared before Recorder Schulz We'd
nesday night on a charge of disorder
ly conduct, preferred by Mrs. Matilda
Odais.
In testifying, Mrs. Odais swore
that few days ago John came home
pretty well soused" She said that
as soon as he got into the house he
started dancing and when he tierd of
tangoing, he brought his wife out on
the floor and compelled her to enter
tain him by feet footing around the
floor until the woman was nearly ex-
hausted. The witness testified that
the actions Of Pango disturbed her
peace and quiet, and asked that John
be punished for his shortcomings.
and he was Don't forget that.

alright" replied che court, 'but
where did your wife get that black
eye that this court happens to know
she has?"
John couldn't remember at first
that his wife did have a discolored
optic. His memory was Jared and
then he did remember that she
dumped into door while the gas
was out in the house." No, John
never beat his wife according to his
own story, but when Officer Ham
mond took the stand and testified
that he saw the man knock his wife
down twice on one occasion, before
he could reach him, the prisoner adj
mitted that he had struck her and
added, "but I've got a right to hit
my own woman mot in this coun-
try, john" replied the court 1t was
brought out that on this occasion the
man was arrested, but owing to the
scene which his wife made in the
courtroom he was allowed to go.
But it was different Wednesday
night. After giving the man severe
lecture, the recorder ended by saying,
II find you gilty of the charge made
against you and I'm going to give
you just ninety days in the county
Jail to think matters over. And let
me warn you never to be brought in
this court again"
