W. S. Gibbsons, representative
from Meade County has a plan
whereby automobile thieving can
be greatly reduced in the next
legislature, making it necessary for
the possessor of a car to produce
bill of sale and also an abstract
showing all owners from the time
the car leaves the dealer until it
goes into the junk pile. The bill
will also contain a clause, making
it a crime for any party to pur-
chase car having questionable
title, or mutilated number. Other
clauses which will make the steal
ing of car hard task will be
included. Such law will have an
excellent effect on the reduction Of

Sad and Strange
Auto Killing of
Young N. Y. Man

Robert Moore, twenty-four years old,
a driver of 576 Eleventh avenue, New
York, died in the Englewood Hospital
at II :45 o'clock last Monday evening
as the result of injuries sustained
when he jumped from a motor truck in
LeOnia.
Moore, it is said, was riding in a
five ton motor truck on Edsall boule-
ward, Leonia, about IL o'clock Monday
evening when one of the solid rubber
tires came off. Moore jumped from
the machine and in some way became
entangled in the tire and was thrown
under the wheels of the car His alb
dOminal wall was practically torn to
pieces and he was otherwise internally
injured.
He was hurried to the EnglewOOd
Hospital in an ambulance from that
institution in charge of DR.. SacharOff
but died five minutes after his recep
ton there.
Moore was married and besides his
widow is survived by two children.
He was accompanied in the truck
by his father-in-law, Henry Enders
of the same address.-RecOrd.

ed to deny her her rights, but she was
quick to come back with hot retort.
'"Then why you come here to inter-
fere with me? So long as behave my

Mrs. Taormina said she employed
six girls and used four sewing ma
chimes. She made dresses for the trade

with great pride in her speech. She is
a determined little person, talks with
great and vehement emphasis and says
she will fight for her rights to the last
She said she was not afraid of the re-
suits.
Mrs Taormina's admission that she
did not put out a sign was evidence
that she is aware of the restriction
clause, but it evidently does not worry
her in the least.
Two Italian men came to the door
and listened to the conversation above
cited, but neither had syllable to
say. And with Mrs. Taormina talking,
perhaps their silence was golden at the
moment. She showed a lot of fighting
spirit, but withal she has an engaging
smile-at times.
Mrs. Taormina wore a magnificent
three stone diamond ring and raped
the police for allowing burglars to en-
ter her home some time ago, when they
stole another fine diamond ring and
some money.

Officer Joseph Rosenstengel, day Off

Guhse home in Edgewood lane. Officer

Another Bill Board
In Anderson Ave.
North of Palisade

A large bill board sign for the United
States Tire Company has been built
alongside of Anderson avenue on the
West side going North and just on
the outskirts of the north end of Pal
isade Just who is responsible for
this dissertation is difficult to find out,
but it is most undesirable thing to
have happen. 1t is a companion piece
to the Hood Tires in Fort Lee Dor
Ough still further to the North on the
same avenue.
In the present case the party build
ing the huge sign cut down ten or a
dozen fine trees in order to force an
unobstructed view along the roadway.
In speaking of this landscape outrage
a well-knOwn gentleman of Fort Lee
borough this week said:
"NO wonder we don't amount to
much. We haven't any pride. These
signs are a disgrace to the section.
The very joy of our rural beauty is
in the charm of our wooded country
through which our highways pass. The
authorities should hesitate to give
these privileges. 1t is true the law
has decided that bill boards may be
erected on private property, but a
Hackensack judge once said that pub
lie sentiment would be sustained if
Objectionable signs were removed-nc

The crime for which Thompson was
sentenced was committed ON October
10 last in Midland Park. The little
girl whom young Thompson murdered
worked in a store conducted by the
father of the boy in Midland Park
She attended customers at the store
after school hours, and on the day in
question left the store at 9 o'clock in
the evening to go to her home. She
was never seen alive afterward
It was charged that the boy fol

brutally assaulted her and beat her to
death. He escaped at the time, but
was captured later in Paterson.

Cliff Indecencies
Arouse Palisade
Residents to Act

The misconduct and depredatiOns of
city picnic parties in the roads along
the cliff front have become more and
more of a nuisance The head of one
of the families living in that section
said this week:
"Why does the borough not take
steps to stop this nuisance? This land
is not free land 1t does not belong to
the public. The borough is its real
custodian, and some measure of relief
from this nuisance is due the residents
of this immediate section. Why, on
Saturdays and Sundays it is intoler-
able. We have signs up all around
the property here, saying Private
property and others bearing the in
formation No water yet the crowds
pay no attention whatever to the
warnings. They actually break over
the hedges or wire fence and come
right up to the houses and actually de-
mand water. We are put TO these eN-
IRENE measures through self protec-
ton. Then, too, the bad conduct of
men and women is most reprehensible
-intolerable, in fact. Women do not
hesitate to undress right before our
eyes, put on kimonaS and loose lifting
garb, then do as they please with them
selves. Men are no better. Some of
their conduct is shameful"
This is IA long-standing complaint,
but the east end residents say it is
worse this year than ever before.
