Attorney General Thinks
Proposed Plan Would Re-
suit in Long Debate.

Washington. Aug. 2o.-Proposed
amendments ito the food control act
which would authorize the president
to fix wholesale and retail prices of
certain commodities were strongly OPP
posed today by Attorney General
Palmer.
Appearing before the house agri-
culture committee to urge speedy en-
actment of additional laws to help re-
duce the cost of living the attorney
general declared such executive pow
er would be too drastic. and would
provoke so much debate in congress
as to delay passage of other amend
ments suggested by the department
of justice.
IAN anti-profiteering law imposing
Of $1,000 and two years Imprisonment
of violations is the best method OF
combating high living COSTS" said Mr..
Palmer.

FORT LEE WEDDING; ETHEL
BURDETT WEEDS VICTOR
ENGL

One of the prettiest and the first of
the season, was the wedding of Miss
Ethel Burdett, daughter of Mr.. George
.Rurdett of Fort Lee. to Mr. Victor
Engl of Fort Lee, on Thursday eve-
ming in the Church of the Good Shep-
herd, the Reverend F. w. Kirwan Off
ciating. The church was artistically
decorated with oak leaves and chrys-
anthemums, an entire arbor of leaves
being built around the chancel. To
the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding
March, played by Mrs. Jos. Gabrik,
sister of the groom, the bridal party
entered the church. After the bene-
diction, Miss Miriam Smyth rendered
"Oh, Promise Me-" The bride looked
very lovely in a shimmering gown of
white charmeuse with court train
and veil of tulle. She carried a shower
bouquet of lilies of the valley and
sweet peas. The bridesmaid, Miss
Florence Grennel of Englewood, was
attired in pale yellow gown of tat
feta, and wore a large black picture
hat. She carried yellow roses. Mr..
Duncan Mcleod was best man, and
Mr.. Clarence White was usher
An informal reception was held at
the home of the bride, after which the
young couple were whisked away on
their honeymoon. Upon their return,
they will reside in Fort Lee.

CHAUNCEY L. GILES, LONG
ILL, DIES IN N. Y; LIVED
IN PALISADE

Palisadians were much shocked to
learn of the death Of their erstwhile
neighbor and, friend, Chauncey l..
Giles, which occurred on Monday last
In New York after an extended illness.
Mr.. Giles, who had just sold his
home on Cumbermede road here,
where he and his family had lived so
many years, had sought treatment
in the hospital for some weeks. He
had apparently grown better, and with
Mrs. Giles had gone to Atlantic City in
the hope that the sea air would. prove
beneficial His malady, an affection
of the liver, was too far advanced,
however, and he was brought back to
the city, where he survived but short
time.
Chauncey Giles was known and
liked by his neighbors as a good
friend and earnest citizen and made
an enviable name for himself in the
business world. The esteem in which
he was held by his business associates
was shown by the flowers that were
sent him by one of his oldest custom
ers while he lay i'll in the hospital.
He was as conscientious in his bust
ness as he was good husband and
father and neighbor.
His death is a double bereavement
to the Giles household, his daughter,
Gladys, having fallen victim to the
influenza epidemic of last winter.
Mr.. Giles was native of Ohio, hav-
ing been born in Cincinnati, his father
having been a prominent minister
there. He married Essie X. Lloyd
who was born in the old Ninth ward
of New York, Greenwich Village, and
five children were born to them. A
son, Chauncey, died in infancy. The
children who, with Mrs. Giles, survive
him, are Mrs. Lulu May, Mrs. Sim,
mons, both of New York, and Mrs
Prescott Wellman of Newtonville,
Mass.
Funeral services were held last
Thursday at the Campbell Funeral
Church, Broadway and 66th street
New York. Interment was in Green
wood cemetery.

TWO PALISADE LADIES SEE
CAPE COD WATER SPOUT
IN GREAT ALARM

Mrs. Charles T. Logan and her
daughter, Mrs. Reynolds got back on
Friday evening of last week from an
extended tour through New England.
They left the Sunday morning previous
en- route to Boston, going by Danbury,
Waterbury and Hartford, thence to
Springfield that day and making Bos
ton the next day before two-thirty.
The two ladies made the trip alone, 60
ing to Provincetown on the Cape Cod
tour Tuesday, stopping at Plymouth to
visit the museum there and seeing
Plymouth Rock.
Late Tuesday afternoon they had a
thrilling experience watching a Cape
Cod water spout, phenomenon pecu-
liar to that section. The day had been
pleasant and clear, and when about
twenty miles from Provincetown, well
into the neck of the Cape Cod peninsu-
la, a terrific wind storm came up, and
the sky suddenly turned black as ink,
the clouds out to sea boiling, and
quickly forming into the fearful fun
mel shape taken by water spouts and
tornados, gave them the idea that they
might themselves be destroyed by the
monster. There was no visible motion
to the water spout, it appearing to
stand still But the dense blackness
of things and the high wind struck
terror to their hearts and both were
greatly alarmed, until they were re-
assured by an old farmer who told
them there was really no danger, ad-
ding, THAT be just Cape Cod water
spout" But at that the Palisadians
had very uncanny feeling, especially
when they were alone, and not house
within twenty miles.
Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Reynolds called
at Newport, Narragansett, Providence,
Buzzard's Bay, New London, thence
home via New Haven and the Long Is
land sound towns.

Lee had only one candidate in the
field, George Hill, Republican. George
Schlosser and Hart were chosen for
the council. Cook was defeated.

ton were unimportant.
George Hill, the newly elected Mayor
of the Borough of Fort Lee, should
make a good Mayor, and will, If he
holds to certain promises he made to
some of his friends. One of his stands
is to make no great move of any kind
without consulting the voters. That
is, he will confer with men outside of
his council to make sure that he re-
lieves the borough of as many iniqui-
ties as possible. And heaven knows
it has been filled with them. Mr.. Hill
has it in his power to make a clean
record, and those who know him init
mately believe he will do it.

HALLOWEEN PARTY AT
WHITMAN SCHOOL FOR
SEVENTH GRADE

The seventh grade of the Whitman
street school, Fort Lee, held their Hal
cen, but that didn't make any
difference to them at all, the spirit of
Halloween was there; the witches rode
lowe'en was there; the witches rode
their broom sticks, the ghosts shook
their clammy hands, the Yama- Yama
girls turned tumblesets just the same
as if the Witching Hour were there.
Despite the dreary, rainy night, hard
ly single youngSter was missing, and
the six chaperons had their hands full.
The only thing that worried the young
sters was the shortage of sugar, for
what is party without lot of home
made goodies, but somehow or other a
lot OF high layer cakes appeared when
it came time for eats" The hall was
decorated in good taste. Yellow crepe
paper. reached from one end of the
room to the other, hung at intervals
with beWitching witches, and odd-shap-
ed paper pumpkins. The lights were
appropriately dimmed, and indeed a
spooky atmosphere pervaded. But the
seventh grade not only romped and
played games, there was a program,
too-talent from their own grade.
Little Miss Marion Deldano, whose
work shows promise of greater things,
delighted with some interpretive dane
ing, pirouetting on her tip toes. The
dim lights, her fluffy veil, and the
tambourine, waited one to tales of
Arabian nights. A three-piece orches-
ira, composed of violin, cello and
piano, was furnished by the Monohan
children, Gertrude, Janethel and JOS
seph These three children, it will be
remembered, attained success playing
with John Barrymore in Peter Ibbet-
son." Then, little Miss Dorothy Tracy
made very dignified speech, thank
ing the mothers for their cooperation,
and the teacher Mrs wilkins, for her
many suggestions, after which the
cakes and punch were brought for
ward, which, according to the seventh
grade, counts for 1870 in any party.
But there was still another feature
the awarding of a Kewpie doll for the
best dressed child, which was won by
Miss Frances Lathberry. She was
dressed as a weird Oriental, and eel.
tainly carried off the part well. The
costumes were all so pretty, 1t was
difficult to make a choice, but the
judges, Mrs. Lozier, Miss Nellie Reilly
and Mrs. Jos. Monohan, selected little
Miss Frances.
At 1870, despite a chorus of "Ah's"
and Obs" the ghosts and the COB
Inns and the witches and the fairies
trundled themselves to home and bed,
feeling that they had accomplished
great deal.
The chaperons were Mrs. Lathberry,
Mrs. Noel Raufest, Mrs. Edward
Lyons, Mrs. Chas. Corker, Mrs Jos.
Monohan and Miss Isabelle Tracy.

According to Wednesday mornings
Hudson Dispatch" Herbert l.. Post OF
Grantwood sprang a surprise in the
election by defeating Councilman Fred
V. Neadler by a dozen votes. But it
was not surprising as this was Mr..
Posts second time as a candidate for
Councilman and as he was only nosed
out last year by Councilman Joseph V.
Amann, Jr., he was expected by many
to be returned a victor in this years
contest. The voting for Councilman
was queer as there were many split
tickets that evidenced this.
McEvoy was high in Grantwood with
two hundred and siXty-five votes, lead
ing Post here by votes, while in the
lower district he had one hundred
lightweight. Neadler was high man in
Cliffside with two hundred and three
votes, leading Post by fty-two votes,
but in the Grantwood district Post had
two hundred and fifty-six votes and
Neadler had one hundred and ninety
two.
The contest between j. J. McEvoy
and H. l.. Post for high man in Grant
wood was very interesting at one time.
McEvoy was leading by twelve votes
and Post climbed and led McEvoy by
two votes, but it ended in McEvoy be-
ing high man in both districts, having
four hundred and fifty-three.
Another close race was seen for the
office of Assessor Mr. Timony was
elected to this position. IN brentwood
Jean Henri Raas was eighty-three votes
ahead of the successful candidate,
while in the first district Timony led
Raas by one hundred and eleven.
Thus Timony won by twenty-eight
votes.
In this borough Edwards and Geu-
fert were ahead of Bugsbee and Mac
kay.
Almost every ballot ballot had an
x before the name of Edward Shee-
han, the only candidate for collec-
tor.
