CITIZENS CLUB HAS
ANNUAL ELECTION
MAKES C. HEARN PRES,

AT the annual meeting of the Cliff
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: c. b. Hearn, president;
G. SiegriSt. Vice-preSident J. A. Mile
ham. treasurer; c. E. Berls. recording
secretary; A. w. Bennett, correspond
ing secretary.
The meeting was marked by IL har
mony of opinion upon the several
items of business, which is good
omen for the future. Probably the
most important subjects discussed We're
zone trolley fares, and zone property
restrictions. The former was intro
duced by a report of Mr. Venables on
the investigations of his committee
into the zone fare system proposed by
the Public Service Railway This re-
port shows inequalities, Inconsistent
cieS and unjust discrimination in the
scheme as worked out by that cor
poration. There could be no objection
to Il zone system, the committee
thought, based upon an equitable and
evenly divided mileage charge. They
did not think that it cost five times
as much to carry passenger the
first mile as it does the second mile.
1t was the unanimous opinion of those
present that this committee continue
its work
The report of the Publicity Commit
tee, working with the Zone Commit
tee, showed that considerable prog
ress has been made, and the outlook
for the successful contamination of
their work is distinctly encouraging.
1t will be the policy of the new
administration to so develop the ac-
tivities of the club that it will exert
a more potent, positive. and conStruc
tive influence for the good of our
borough Social features in connec-
ton with the business meetings may
be looked for in the near future.
Several applications for membership
were received.

THEY ARE THOUGHT To Be ERIE BRAKEMEN

One man was perhaps fatally shot
and another painfully wounded in a
fight at the Little Ferry station of the
Susquehanna railroad at O'Clock
Thursday morning when Policeman
John Ritter, Jr., of the Ridgefield Park
police department, investigated the
open door of the freight house at that
depot and saw two men ransacking
packages of freight stored in that
building.
The injured are:
Frederick Derricks. twenty-eight
years old, of Marshall avenue, Little
Ferry, who was shot through the right
lung and right leg and whose condition
is considered serious and John Fuchs,
nineteen years old, of Williams ave-
nue., Little Ferry, who received pene-
tration scalp wound.
Both men are in the Hackensack
Hospital under guard, and in the care
of DR.. John Fineberg, who answered
Tic call IOT all ambulance SnOrtlS
after the shooting.
Policeman Ritter was patrolling the
lower or southern section of Ridge
field Park at 4 10 o'clock Thursday
morning when he saw the open door
leading to the freight house.
Walking to the doorway, the officer
saw the two men at work and asked
them what they were doing there.
Derrick, who stood nearest the Off
Ger, made Il lunge at him and knocked
him down and pinned him against a
pile of old iron, almost choking the
officer into insensibility.
AS DerrickS arose from the pros
trate body of Ritter, the latter drew
his revolver and fired three shots all
of which apparently took effect.
Derrick was struck first and col
lapsed on the platform. while Fuchs,
receiving only a scalp wound, ran
away.
Ritter telephoned for help to the
Ridgefeld Park police headquarters

Wake Up, PaIisade !

From published statements already
made it is evident that the village of
PaiSade is about to enter period of
activity in a material way that should
road to greater prosperity and prog
ress. The new minister of the local
Union Church has sensed the situation
and already in a series of very earnest
public utterances on the subject has
announced his willingness to take hold
and lead IA movement looking towards
a sweeping and radical change in the
long standing apathetic attitude of the
town and people.
Mr.. Guhse has found out that the
greatest drawback in Palisade is the
lack of unity among the people. He
hopes to see the time soon arrive
when an awakening will take place and
the residents will come together, pull
together and stay together on every
thought looking towards the goal of
community uplift. Without it he feels,
and many leading citizens are with
him heartily in the thought, that the
village is just stumbling along, seeing
progress developing all around it, but
standing stock still itself Last Sun
day Rev. Guhse preached solid shot
sermon on the spirit of the hOur-the
get together spirit that won the war
and thai will put Palisade over the top
in a way that will amaze the commu
nifty once the movement gets Roadway.
He dwelt long, broadly and literally
upon the differences that have hereto
fore existed He wants the men to be
manly and forget their individual feel
ings of prejudice, which are largely
imaginary with the best of us, and put
their shoulders to the wheel and work
together. And he wants the women to
come on to the band wagon, too, and
ride along with the men in the new

and Policemen John C. Taylor and
Thomas E. Williams were sent to his
assistance.
The police made search of the
neighbOrhood for Fuchs and trailed
him by means of his footprints in the
mud to a wagon in the lumber yard
of Brewster & Son, adjoining the de-
pot, where he was found covered up
with a lot of bags and other material
They were finally placed in the am
bulance and hurried to the hospital,
where they were received at ) 80
O'Clock.
Both men are now under charges
of breaking and entering and are in
the care of Sheriff Courier on com
mitments issued by Justice John q.
Griggs.
The men are said to be in the en-
pl0y of the Erie Railroad as brake
men.
Fuchs is said to have run over and
killed little Ethel Rehm in Ridgefield
Park last October while driving an
automobile without drivers license.

forward procession that will make
Palisade joy to itself and the admi-
ration of this whole eastern part of
Bergen county. The people are here,
the talent is here-everything is at
hand except the casting aside of the
dead weight of apathy Men have re-
Gently come to Palisade to live who
looked around New York for place to
live and saw nothing the equal of Pail
SADIE. We have every attraction here
that can delight the eye or appeal to
the imagination. We have an unsur-
passed location 800 feet above New
York streets; we have at our doors
primeval forests; we are in close touch
with the southern edge of the great in
terState Park; we have churches and
schools of every character, if not in
Palisade, near enough to be called in
walking distance; we have beautiful
homes, well to do people and an atmos-
phere the quality of which cannot be
matched outside of the mountains of
Colorado.
Under Mr.. Guhse's leadership start
at least can be made. Somebody is
needed to steer things, and this gifted
young scion of the church appears to
have risen to the spirit of the occasion
and is going about his self imposed
task, not in the guise of just looking
for something to do-he is busy
enough, heaven knows-but with the
thought of the pioneer blazing into the
heart of new country and opening up
the pathway of civilization. He is
young, wonderfully able, has the en-
terprise and spirit that never falters
The one thing he asks is that the peo-
pie stand by the thought expressed in
the ideals that are uppermost in the
plans now proposed to lead Palisade
out of the wilderness of her own stag
nation. She has never helped herself
much.

ROBERT G, MCCARTNEY
CHANGES $40 FOR
SOLDIER, LOSES $50

Robert G. Mccartney of Bridleway
and Abbott Boulevard, PaliSade, had
a unique experience last Wednesday
afternoon in New York. He was about
to take Broadway subway train at
Times Square When he reached the
ticket booth there was an army officer
standing ahead of him in line, offer
ing the woman inside a twenty dollar
bill to be changed. The woman could
not change the bill, and Mr.. Mozart
ney seeing the soldiers plight said,
Here, I'll be glad to change that for
yOu," handing out as he believed a ten
and two five dollar bills, taking the
twenty from the officer. He then
bought his own ticket, and seeing the
soldier still standing there, evidently
with the view of thanking him, Mr..
Mccartney said the man asked how
to take the shuttle train, which he
showed him.
The two then separated, and when
Mr.. Mccartney got some distance on
his train, he took out his money and
found he had given the man hun
dred dollar bill and two tives instead
of a ten and two fives. Imagine his
surprise when he realized that he had
no show whatever to find his man.
And the soldier must have been equal
ly surprised to find himself in pos
session of a great deal more money
than he thought he had Mr.. Nc
CARNEY said he would try to locate
the man in some way through the
military camps. Having a son in the
army, he said he is at all times more
than ready to listen to their appeals,
and in this instance readily offered
to help the officer out of his trouble.
His courtesy cost him 800.

"BEANSY" ROSENFELD.
GUILTY OF GAMBLING,
Will GET SENTENCE

Some months ago a bevy of New
York gamblers conceived the idea of
invading New Jersey where it was re-
ported that the weakness for gambling
was the same as in most other, places
The horde soon invaded the Sanctity
of New Jersey soil and with the as
SiStance and cOnnivance of certain To-
cal whelps, got their "games" started
in several places, among them Carl
Lieve's Half Way House, and the
charge was that it was run as a dis
orderly house where gambling pre-
vailed, together with bOOkmaking on
horse racing. The place was well
patronized, but finally Sheriff Courier
down on the house, arresting a full
hand of people, including one 'Bean-
Sy" RoSenfeld, whose real name is
Simon Bien of 40 West Eighty-sixth
street, New York. This gambling raid
was the cause of a true bill being
found against the sheriff by the grand
jury under the charge of neglecting
to perform his duty, of which he was
duly acquitted.
Then the trial of Simon Bien took
place last week, and though the most
strenuous efforts of his counsel, Wen
dali J. Wright, were made to free him
on technicalitieS, he was convicted.
His sentence has not yet been imposed,
but he will no doubt be given a severe
penalty due to the unusually bad cir
cumstances surrounding the case.
Bien did not give the people a square
deal, which was not to be expected,
of course, from man of his type,
but he no doubt will learn that trif1ing
with New Jersey law is not what it is
cracked up to be-

has the advantage of being in a posi-

map his course accordingly.
This much is known that some day,
whether it be near or far off, he will
have statement on the matter, def
nitely putting himself in the contest
or announcing his intention not to be
candidate
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the State House Commits
sion is now made up of three men, all
of whom are regarded as Republican
gubernatorial timber, either now or in
the future. Messrs Runyon and Bug
bee are in the limelight this year in
this connection, and State Treasurer

discussion, is looked upon as strong
possibility in the next campaign for
