MIILIONAiRES HAVE
ANOTHER OUTING.

The members of the well known Mil
lionaires' Club of this town had fine
time on an automobile ride on Satur-
day evening. AT first it was decided
to take a mOtOrboat trip up the Hud-
son, but later they agreed they could
have better time on a straw ride.
The large motor truck of Joseph
Weiss was hired, and it was piled al
most to the top with straw, while the
exterior was draped with the national
and allied colors.
On the trip all the new songs were
sung with great pep TO the jaZzy ac-
compartment of several kazoos.
Albert Dyer told of his experiences
"over there while Patrick Mahoney
kept the party laughing at his funny
stories.
hey STONED at the Susauehanna
hotei, Paterson, and after having a
dinner de la luxe journeyed as far as
Tuxedo lake, and from there the re-
turn trip was made. This was the
fifth straw ride conducted by this club,
and only twelve of the members at
tended it,

together with warnings that proceed
ings in court would be taken if the
rights of the public were in any way
threatened
In this connection it was reported
that one of the parties complained of
had rented another building outside
the restricted area and would soon
favorable sign, but Mr. Tams, chair
man of the Executive Committee, was
requested to follow up the case and see
that the present violations are stopped
Judge Seufert was asked whether
the erection on a restricted lot of a
be a violation, even though it was IA
vored by many residents and was real
ly intended for public purpose. He
said emphatically that it would be Il
violation. He was told of Il report
that the transforming of Bluff road
into a state highway would have the
effect of breaking the restrictions on
property abutting that thoroughfare.
He said the restrictions would not be
affected in the slightest way. This
was reaSSuring, as it removed the fear
of residents that attempts might be
made to erect other than residences
along Bluff road Judge Seufert's re-
port was most satisfactory and was SO
voted by the members.
There was general discussion
among tho mamhprS and oil ourap1
that good progress was being made by
the Improvement Association. Among
the business transacted was the APP
pOintment of Dr. A. f. LAM, NJ. Men
stadt and John. II. Bradshaw as n COM
mttee to urge the mayor and council
to adopt a building code for the Dor
Dispatch, July Z.

Y. KELLY AND EX-JUDCE SEUfERT
AGAIN LINK UP WHEN FORMER IS
MADE PRES. PALISADE IMP'T ASSN
Annual Meeting of Local Organization Elects New
Officers, Promising to Defend Model Suburb Against
All Violators of Restrictions-One Action
Promised by Attorney-Opinion Strikes
at New Community House.
CODE IS RECOMMENDED

At the annual meeting of the Pail
SADIE Improvement Association many
new members were added, and the fol-
lowing officers were unanimously elect
ed for the coming year: President
Vincent B. Kelly; vice presidents, L. K
Sager and r. r. Brown; secretary,
John Purdon; treasurer, Harry D.
Schall. These officers, with Arthur W.
TamS, constitute the Executive Com
mittee, of which Mr.. Tams is chair
man.
When his name was put in nominal
ton for president of the association
Mr.. Kelly said that he would prefer to
have some one else elected, but since
it appeared to be the wish of his neigh
bOrs that he serve them ne would bow
to their wishes. He added that he ac-
copied the post only upon the distinct
understanding that the association
would continue its united efforts for
the maintenance of the property re-
strictions which had made Palisade
really worth while. Every one present
heartily indorsed this announcement.
Former Judge William M. Seufert,
attorney for the association, was pres
ent and explained the steps that had
been taken to prevent any encroach-
ments upon the restrictions. He said
he had made two trips to Trenton to
study the records of the cases already
tried and which had firmly established
the restrictions upon all property in
Palisade. He thought there would be
no difficulty in continuing to uphold
them, since it had been decided that
the restrictions run with the land
Judge Seufert exhibited copies of
the letters written to three different
parties in Palisade, who We're reported
to be preparing to violate restrictions,

Checked Himself
Into Prison by
Criminal Route

Adrian Wirth, twenty years old, of
1916 Fifty-seventh street, Brooklyn,
was arrested Tuesday noon by Chief of
Police O'Shea in the Lyric dry goods
store, 165 Main street, on charge of
attempting to pass fraudulent check.
Wirth admits the charge, it is said,
and told the chief that his reason for
doing it was that his mother has a
large family and he was trying to help
her out
Wirth's first exploit in town so far
as known was in Bohlman's confec-
tionery store at 229 Main street, where
he attempted to pass S24 check in
which he said was for the Hackensack
Hospital.
He next visited Lachmunds delica-
lessen store opposite, where he picked
out a pound of coffee, saying he would
be back later.
Wirth also stopped in McFadden's
drug store and offered a check in pay
ment for a bottle of cologne, which
was refused. He then went in the
Lyric candy store and finally in the
Lyric dry goods store, where Chief
O'Shea captured him with check in
his hand.
Four checks We're found on his per-
son. two drawn on the Corn Exchange
bank and two o nthe Bank of the
United States, both of New York city.
Two were for 800 each and two for $24
each, two being signed by J. NJ. Harri-
son and two by J. NJ. Davidson and in
each instance payable to the order of
Joseph Goodman.-Hackensa Rec

Route No. 10 to
Start Very Soon
Up Cliff Front

brated Bluff Road State Highway,
is about to be started, according to re-
ports reaching The Palisadan.. Some
of the construction material has been
placed ON top of the cliffs already and
more will follow The biggest part of
this work, so far as it relates to Pal
isade is concerned, will be confined this
year to building the great wall neces-
sary to bring the road up from Edge
water to the top of the Palisades in
Palisade. This will probably consume
the greater part of the year. 1t is UNI
derstood that the contractors have two
years in which to finish the road out to

DR.. Beattie Talks
In Stirring Way of
War in France

Rev. DIR. Lee w. Beattie, former
pastor of the Palisade Onion Church,
"came back" last Wednesday evening
and delivered stirring talk on his ex-
periences with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France. He was
about a year i; Y. NJ c. A. work over
there and is as full of "reminiscences as
oozes out of his system, and for nearly
two hours he RECALLED his audience of
about seventy with the most illuminat-
ing war talk any one has so far given
in Palisade He illustrated his address
on the blackboard, and it is fair to say
that a great deal of information was
obtained that most people never knew
before.
DIR. Beattie appears in robust health
and does not look a day older. He
talks with his old time vigOr and spirit
as well as humor, and some of his
stories fairly dubbed over with humor.
He attested the faith he had in the
Y. Nj. c. A. organization and said no
trust need be laid on any report that it
was unfair or Inefficient It's work in
France during the period of the war;
and today, was magnificent and over
topped all other outside organized re-
lief work in size, scope and value. 1t
was by far the largest force engaged
in the war with similar purpose. DR..
Beattie paid tribute to the X. of c., the
Jewish Relief and other organizations
and said all were splendid and worked
for the cause of humanity alike. Re-
ligion, he said, never had any higher
emphasis than was eXemplified in these
organizations. 1t would require book
to tell all DR.. Beattie said. His whole
talk was full of carefully thought out
messages he brought home from this
service abroad, and he told it all like
one who had been there with the one
thought of service alone for others.
There was pathOS and patriotism,
laughter and work, patience and pray
er, and above all deep conviction of
duty in all that DR.. Beattie depicted.
And though he talked almost two
hours, there was not a tireSOme mo-
ment in it, and he said he had only
scratched the surface of what he knew.
He told the story well, and Palisade
was more than gratified as well as re-
paid for the very instructive evening
he gave.

inches below the elbow, then striking
| and penetrating the chest for short
distance in the neighborhood of the
eighth rib. Because of the angle in
which the revolver was fired the bullet
came out of the chest and was found
on the floor
Mr.. Van Stone suffered mostly from
shock and loss of blood. No bones
were penetrated or broken.
Wild rumors in circulation were to
the effect that regular fusillade had
occurred, but from investigations made
by the police only the one shot was
fired. This theory appears to be
proven by the fact that Mr.. Van Stone
was wounded only once and only one
bullet was found.
Mr.. Van Stone, who was sleeping on
a couch on the first floor because of
the excessive heat upstairs, was awak-
ened shortly after o'clock by the
milkman.
Mrs. Van Stone had left a note in
the milk bottle for an extra quart, and
both overheard the milkman say to his
assistant, Bring an extra quart
MIR. Van Stone then got up from the
couch and started for the kitchen for
a drink. As he reached the kitchen
door man In that room called out
$50 back or I'll shoot YOU
Van Stone quickly slammed the
kitchen door in the mans face and ran
to the front of the house.
The voices and the slamming of the
door evidently aroused Mrs Van Stone
and second burglar whom she found
in the hallway upstairs as she came
out of her room.
Mrs. Van Stone Immediately closed
with this man and fought and strug-
gled with him down the hallway and
stairs. a.s
The struggle on the stairway attract
ed Mr.. Van Stones attention as he ran
back into the front room, and he has
tened to the assistance OFF his Wife,
1t was at this time that the man
drew his revolver and fired point blank
from the stairway.
The burglar then ran to the rear of
the house. pursued by Mrs. Van Stone,
and vaulted through the open window.
They We're seen later to come out of
the alleyway alongside of the munich
pal building on Main street.
The shot and the screaming of Mrs.
Van Stone aroused the neighborhood,
and DR.. Brinkman, who lived opposite,
telephOned police headquarters.
Sergeant Baar, who was ON desk
duty, ran out on Main street and, sum-
hurried them to the house, later calling
up Chief OShea, who also responded.
1t was during the interval that Ser
geant Baar was out of headquarters
that the numerous calls which began
to flood police headquarters remained
unanswered.
No description of the men has been
obtained by the authorities, but be-
cause of the shooting and the holiness
of the crime the opinion prevails that
it might have been Frank Hart, no.
torous burglar, who recently escaped
from Il state prison camp at Mon
mouth Junction. Hart committed
many daring burglaries in Bergen
county, was captured once and escaped
from the county Jail after shooting his
way out, was again captured and SEN
fenced to long term in state prison.
Other burglaries in Bergen county
recently are laid at Desperate Harris
door.
