Dirty Worker Pushes
Palisadian Off
Car With His Foot

Some of the dirtiest, lowest bred
men that ever disgraced humanity are
working in Edgewater. They come
up on the trolley cars in the late
evenings, and many of them anxious
to beat the others to it, and hog the
seats in the cars they meet at Palisade
Junction, crowd the rear platforms
almost TO suffocation, then refuse to
make room for any one to get off at
the Palisade Post Office. On Thurs
day evening last Charles 7. Logan
was seated inside the LeOnia car that
left Edgewater about :15 p. M, and
just before the car reached the first
stop at the Post Office, tried to make
his way to the platform. A big, burly
brute of a man had his arm stretched
across the door with firm grip ON the
handle of the door, and would not
let him pass. "Wait till we STOP" he
said. Don't be so dam anxious to
get off" And the more the passenger
tried to get off, the harder the man
held on to the door handle. When
the car stopped and Mr.. Logan made
his way through the crush, some one
of the party gave him a savage push
in the small of the back with the sole
of his dirty shoe, and pushed him off
the car, fortunately not throwing him
down. 1t was about as scoundrelly
piece of impudence as ever one saw.
And not one of the crowd failed to
approve of the vicious act.
I'D give fifty dollars for the name
and address of that whelp," said Mr..
Logan in speaking of the incident.

New Homes Exempt
For Two Years, Now
Proposed at Trenton

Trenton, March 16.-Alleged out
rageOus rent profiteering and totally
inadequate housing accommodations
exist in New Jersey, according to de-
velopments at a hearing yesterday be-
fore the House Committee on Taxa
ton relative to assembly bills Nos. 1919
and 200, introduced by Assemblyman
Hansen of Hudson county, and de-
signed in measure to check these
evils.
Commissioner James Cannon of Jer-
sey City, in opening the discussion,
stated that the poor housing conditions
of the country were due to the lack of
houses and to rent profiteering. 1--WE
think the legislature can help to anne
liOrate the present intOlerable condi-
tions," said Cannon. He referred to
having seen members of families whose
sons had served their country in the
world war being evicted. He said that
assembly bill No. 1919 proves that new
dwellings shall be exempted from taxa
ton for two years, while assembly bill
No, s2QQ would prevent evictions. only
after three months notice to tenants,
instead of one month, as at present.
Mr.. Cannon said assembly bill No.
1919 had been prepared by George l..
Record, single tax advocate, and
while it may be considered along the
lines of the single tax idea, the speaker
said, it was something that would help
in the present emergency as if would
stimulate building. He predicted that
if the bill passed there would be hous-
ing accommodations in New Jersey
very soon for more than 100000 more
persons.
Chairman Young asked if the pro-
posed exemptions would not work an
injustice to those owners who have al
ready built or who are commencing to
build. Cannon replied some would be
affected in this way, but the people
generally would be benefited.

Junior Girls Win
Boys Lose to Sophs

On Tuesday afternoon in two highly
spirited games the Junior girls easily
defeated the Soph girls, but the third
year boys had to acknowledge the
supremacy of the Soph boys. Before
the girls began to play it was the con-
sensus of opinion that the girls repre-
senting the Junior class would win.
The victory over the Junior boys
gives the Sophomore boys the right to
dispute the class championship of c..
2. H. S. with the Senior boys, cham
pions of last year. When these two
teams clash it will be good, fast
game, as both teams are in each 9TH
er'S class only as to regard of weight,
in which the Seniors tip the scales at
heavier poundage. The High
School standing pickers and placers
state that two class teams were never
so evenly matched as the Sophomore
and Senior teams will be when they
clash on the court Tuesday AS yet
the High School A. A. Board hasn't
decided whether this game will be
played in the afternoon or evening.
If this is an evening game large
crowd of rooters, besides the students
of all the classes, will be present
Both Captains Carpenter and McDon-
aid, the former Senior and latter
Soph, are predicting victory.
In the preliminary game the girl
teams of these classes will meet. The
Seniors should by past performances
easily dispose of the Soph girls.
The line-ups will probably be: Sem
iors: Mazzei, r. f.; Corriston, |. f..
Vanderbach, c.; Greenleaf, |. g.; Car
penter, +. G. Sophomores: Mcdonald,
|. f.; Houk, +. f.; Kirmeyer, c.; Mar
tens, l. g.; Whalen, +. G.
A complete summary of the game
will be in the next issue of The Pail
sadian.

morning following an attack of pneu-
monia about month ago. He had
recovered, apparently, and was up and
around, though not strong. On We'd

settled in Hoboken, removing to Pail
SADIE about IL years ago. He was an
expert accountant and was auditor for
large trade publication in New York,

joyed the respect and confidence of all
of his associates. Mr. Willmann was
of a quiet, retiring disposition, kindly

CITIZENS CLUB HAS BUSY SESSION
TALKING ABOUT FREE DELIVERY and
FA|Rv|EW SPLIT AND OTHER TOPICS
Postmaster Madison Tells of Application for Free De-
livery of Mail-Fa rview Tax of $614 Causes Scare
Building Code Changes Desired-Inaccurate News
paper Reports Condemned.
SESSION WAS A VERY BUSY ONE

There was large crowd of Grant
meeting of the Citizens Club. The i'm
pOrtant event of the session was a talk
by Professor Mattison, postmaster of
GrantwoOd, in connection with the ap-
plicatiOn he has made to Washington
for free mail delivery in Cliffside Park
Borough. He gave interesting facts
and figures, saying that the minimum
requirement by the government of
$1,000 receipts would be passed, so
that it is now up to the people to get
behind the movement if it is desired
to have the system put into operation
at once. Carriers salary, he said, for
an Office of the Grantwood size, was
now $72 a month, but might be more
after June l. There has been some
opposition to the carrier sytem, large
ly sentimental, however, so that the
people will have to say what they
want.
hubbub was created by reference
to the split in Fairview Borough, where
the tax rate is now $6.14 per 500.

to the question and said it was a seri-
Gus menace. Fairview had designs, he
feared. on lower Cliffsida, ard the
sewer system Of Fafrvfew was fo Be
lodged If possible. Mr.. Flood feared
the Trenton politicians might sneak
something over as is their wont at
times. George N. Venables thought
the people would have to vote on such
question.
The building code came up. J. C.
Vosberg mOtiOned that the mayor be
requested to revise the code so that no
buildings of any kind could be put up
nearer than 10 feet from the street
line. Carried.
Several members complained of in
accurate reports of the clubs meetings
published in the Hudson Dispatch and
urged greater care in future. Careless
reporting is indefensible.
The Eisburg trial, the joke telephone
service, and other matters were talked
on briefly. Mr.. Velsey thanked the
members for their aid in having him
elected to the School Board recently.
Poor mail service received sound
drubbing also between the nearby bor-
oughs.

Boy Scouts at
Luncheon Have
Helpful Time

Troop One of the Boy Scouts of
Cliffside Park, has had it's first party,
and with the true spirit of their move
ment, they did not enjoy it alone, but
invited their parents to share it with
them, so on Friday night at the Cliff
side Park High School, group of
parents witnessed the practice game
of basket ball of their first and second
teams, and then all adjourned to the
Domestic Science room where three
long tables greeted the guests, daintily
set and loaded with good things.
The Boy Scouts movement must be
very popular with the mothers, and
the Scout master must be born lead
er, for every one had responded with a
generous supply of all kinds of sand
witches, great delicious cakes, salad,
cocoa, and as finishing touch, ice
cream.
After the guests were seated, the
Scouts marched in, in orderly line, and
before eating, recited the Scout oath,
and proceeded to do full justice to the
banquet, after which the Scout master,
MIR. Wallace Stockwell, in a brief
speech, said that Troop always has
a committee which oversees the work,
and vOuches for the Scout master.
He called on Mr. Warren Drum to
speak.
Mr. Drum then made a two minute
speech, in his time limit, speaking of
his sympathetic liking for the Boy
Scouts, because they had ideals, and
stood for loyalty in their relations to
each other, their home, their school,
and their town. He knew of towns
where 80 per cent of the boys belonged
to the Scouts and he hoped to see a
Troop soon established in the High
School, and to see in time every boy
in the borough in the movement.
Professor Sporting expressed his
satisfaction at the recognition which
the Scouts were already receiving in
the borough, and at their recent SPLEEN
did Pntertainment. He feels that the
Fises s6se VI tile Scouts Is s;ie wight one,
thai of service and loyalty.
Each one of these speakers received
the Scout cheer, led by Martin Con-
roy, and Mr.. Goemann, the third men,
Der of the committee, also received
this tribute for his services, although
absent on account of illness of his
son.
The same tokens of appreciation
were given to the teachers who so ably
helped in making the refreshment part
of the evening such success in the
carefully laid tables, Miss Esther
tombstone, the Domestic Science teach
er, Miss Madden, Miss Flood and Miss
Flanagan who were all thanked by
the Scout master and his well trained
troop, then the ianitor and his boys
received cheer, and in their consider
alton for these latter, the happy COM
pany, with a last cheer for the parents
and the answering applause, went
home at half past nine, after the
Scout master had chosen several boys
TO be on hand next morning for the
clearing uD time
