which showed, he said, that Mr.. Ford
believed in the orderly processes OF
government and therefore could not

NEW ZONE PLAN GETS A
START SUNDAY, LESS
TROUBLE THAN OLD
WAY

Passengers on the Public Service
lines in this section Sunday adapted
themselves to the new order of zone
fares quite as a matter of course, and
as though it were but another change
In the weather
For the passengers who travel
through two zones regularly In using
the cars, they never even noticed the
change, and smiled In a superior way
at the one-Zone passenger, who now
pays two cents more than previously.
AS for the long distance riders, they
smiled also at the sign which said re-
duced trolley fares and the fact that
they would now pay only one cent
after the two-mile post faded in the
distance.
The only difficulty, If it might be
termed that, was about the transfer,
which again came into style. Some
undertook to argue with the conduc-
tors as to why they paid one cent for
transfer and then continue to pay
one cent for each additional zone they
passed through aboard another car.
They believed 1t should pay for the
first zone on the transfer line 1t was
the conductors duty to explain that
the transfer was not u transfer, but
an identification slip, by which he was
given to know that the holder had
paid fve-cent fare and could ride for
one cent a zone thereafter.
The trouble over the transfers was
not local, but was experienced In sew
eral parts of the system. On a car
entering Newark from Jersey City
some workmen who boarded the car
with transfers refused to pay the ex.
ira cent and insisted that the cent
paid for the transfer paid for one of
the zones through which they passed.
They left the car, paying the conduc-
tor one cent less than he asked.-Rec-
ord.

TROLLEYMEN KICK AT ZONE
SYSTEM-APPEAL TO
TRENTON

Trenton, Nov. 1S-The State Board
of Public Utility Commissioners to-
day received the application of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees of
America, asking for the abolition of
the zone system on the lines of the
Public Service Railway Company.
The Board fixed Nov. rs at Newark
for public hearing on the matter.
The trolley employees have become
dissatisfied because of the many diff
culties encountered In the operation
of cars and claim that they cannot
properly operate cars under the zone
system. The trolley men will secure
counsel and fight the zone plan. fol-
lowing the adoption of resolution at
a meeting in Newark.
The trolley men also claim that
there are tedious delays in loading
and unloading cars and that as re-
suit they are compelled to exceed the
speed limit in operating cars to make
up the time lost under the pay-as-you-
leave system. With increased patron
age the difficulties would be further
increased, they claim.

PALISADES P. M. QUITS THE
JOB, EFFECTIVE JAN. 1

Palisades postmaster, George sta
bel, has resigned the office, which Will
take effect about January first next.
He claims that his work in the moving
picture business consumes so much OF
his time he cannot give any attention
at all to the post office. The office has
been run entirely for several years by
Miss Bertha Grobosky, of Grantwood.
The office is worth at this time $1,000
a year, and is now Third Glass and
gaining all the while.
1t is said that a petition will be cir
culated to have Miss Grobosky APP
pointed to succeed Mr.. Stabel. She IS
very efficient and accommodating
and Is well-liked. Palisades first post
master was Ferdinand Stabel, who
took the office as an accommodation
to the Palisade public, and ran 1t in a
small office located inside the Palisade
Supply Company's store. When he
resigned, his son was appointed
through Congressman Archie Hart,
though Mr. Stabel had always been a
Republican in politics.

Edward Snedecker, 10, of Tenafiy,
taxicab driver, was fatally shot by
Camp Merritt soldier in Edgewater on
Saturday night, when within about
half a mile of the Edgewater ferry.
Walter Northrop, IS, of Highwood,
was shot by the same soldier at the
same time, and is in the Englewood
Hospital with bullet in his back.
The shooting occurred in Snedeck-
er's taxi, after the soldier had been
given a ride from the Tenafiy depot to
Closter, then across country to Pearl
River and to the spot where the shoot
ing occurred.
Just before the shooting occurred
the soldier had asked how much the
taxi charge was for the trip, and when
told it would be $40 uttered an oath.
The next moment he yelled that his
hat had fallen out of the car, and
Snedecker swung around and went
back for it. Northrop got the hat and
the taxi was turned around again and
started for the ferry.
Three shots rang out and the first
bullet landed in Northrop's back. The
other entered the back Of Snedecker's
head and he collapsed in his seat.
The auto swerved across the road
and crashed into the curb, tearing off
tire.
1t is said that the murderer leaped
from the car, ran down the road yell
Ing "police," and then disappeared
in the woods.
Chief OF Police O'Brien soon receiv-
ed word and the police summoned the
Englewped Hospital, and an ambu-
lance was soon hurrying away with
the wounded young man.
Snedecker died at $40 yesterday
morning. Northrops condition is said
to be serious.
According to Northrop's statement,
the soldier landed at the Tenatiy de-
pot in bus from the camp and said
he was anxious to find his sWeethearts
home in Closter. The taxi driver ask
ed Northrop to go along, not thinking
the trip was to be so long. The house
could not be located in Closter and
the soldier ordered the taxi to go to
Pearl River. From there the trip to
the Edgewater ferry was started.

crime?
The result OF the trial Is not ct all
creditable to Bergen county, and
brings up certain feeling regarding
the judiciary that may or may not
be ethical for discussion in a news
paper But while having discretionary
powers just judge should weigh cir

the little child in Palisade in the sum

stances, where the testimony was
clear and unmistakable, the IMAM, 3 ~
tured, yet the prisoner escaped though
a technicality. The Holloway case

The ease of Phillip Holloway,
charged with assault upon the per
son Of pretty little five-year old Mary
Quinn, of Central avenue, Fort Lee,
came I'D in Hackensack before Judge
zabriskey, Thursday OF last week, and
according to information reaching
1.-THE Palisadian'', resulted in being
nolle pressed. The facts in the trial
are no doubt that the defendent had
as is stated, that the child was too
young to testify, and so the case was
laid over 1t will be recalled that this
little girl was led into the woods near
Fort Lee along with two other young
children, a boy and girl, and the
original testimony of the latter two
was that the man asked them to go to
the woods to hunt for flowers, stop
ping, by the aunt of little Mary Quinn,
where She was stopping, and asking
her to go along, also, which she did.
After the party got into the woods,
time, Holloway took the little girl off
so the two other children said at the
alone. telling the other children to
await near a large rock until his re-
turn. But he was gone so long that
the children got alarmed and went on
home alone. The man and little Mary
Quinn came home late in the evening,
and Holloway at once disappeared,
cutting short his visit Immediately.
He is married and lives in New York
City. The discovery of a silver dime
by the clild's aunt, who never left
money around. led to the statement
that the dime belonged TO the child,
Mary Quinn. Asked where she got it,
she said Holloway had given it to her,
telling what he did, and all of the cir
cumstances of his acts.
Now, while the evidence against
Holloway was circumstantiai it was
never have made up such testimony
extremely strong. The child could
as she presented, and the two othe
children told story from which they
have never wavered, so the report
