Runaway Van
On Englewood Hill

A large moving van belonging to
Tony Lombardi of 416 East Thirteenth
street, New York city, came laundering
down Palisade avenue, Englewood, its
main and busy thoroughfare, on Sun
day morning at terrific rate of speed,
and duplicated the performance of an
other large auto truck which came
down this steep hill uncontrolled about
two months ago, narrowing escaping
running down pedestrians.
Vincent Pambitta was driving the
truck at the time, and there were two
other men in the van when. it went
on its wild journey down the hill.
The driver and owner were brought
before Mayor McKenna, who acted as
judge, and fine of $50 was melted out
for the risky trip, which might have
cost the life Of one or more citizens

GEORGE B. HITCHCOCK, PROMINENT
BOC0TA REALTY man, CHARGED WITH
GETTING $23,400 ON BAD CHECKS

The whole of Bergen county was

Leonia Downs
Palisade-6-4

Palisade enjoyed novel game of
baseball last Saturday when Leonia
hooked up with the local players. Given
two crackerjack pitchers with fine
catching behind them, one putting up
big league stuff on every ball, the other
doing the identical same thing, one
striking out 16 men, the other u; the
first with gilt-edged support, the other
rotten, and the reason is in one word
why Palisade lost. McClatchy of the
Leonia Legion team is certainly sur
passing himself this season, and seems
destined to get into real baseball If he
chooses to. He is master hand at
ball tossing, and never appeared to bet
ter advantage than in Palisade this
trip. Tony Griffin would have won his
game even against McClatchy's box
work, for the local boys had good
lead through several innings, but with
easy flies sent into the three fields,
only to have them dropped or not ham
died at all, when each one should have
been an easy out, and the infield play
ing like the very deuce in not STOP
ping grOunders, no wonder the Count
de McClatchy walked off the field the
victor in as fine pitching duel as one
wants to see, or as any one ever saw.
And to think Griffin struck out 16 men
1t is no use telling who the sinners
were, but the playing was so tarnation
weak outside of the battery work that
Monsigneur Griffin journeyed home a
bit crestfallen, but proud of having
distinguished himself, though he lost
the game. The score only part tells
the story, so here it is:

Bus OVerturnS
In Palisade Ave.,
Several Badly Hurt

Last Sunday evening a crowded bus
bound for the West Shore ferry from
Palisades Amusement Park crashed
into telegraph pole on Palisade ave-
nue., causing the bus to overturn. All
of the occupants of the bus were more
or less injured and cut,by broken glass,
but none seriously. Among the more
severely injured were a boy whose
arm was broken. One passengers ear
was almost entirely cut off, while the
driver of the bus received broken
wrist. All of the injured were attend
ed by local doctors and were then
able to go to their homes.
The accident happened between Co
lumbia and Crescent .Fenues, where
there is a curve in the road. No one
seems to know just what caused the
accident, but the bus must have been
travelling at a terrific speed, as the
impact snapped the telegraph pole,
the wires alone holding it up.

Hitchcock is known all over the

He has great many friends. He is
about forty years old, and has been
doing business in Bogota for eleven
years. He is generally liked. He said
to the Palisadian, Thursday night:
while I may be technically guilty
of an apparent wrong act, at the same
time, have not profited one dollar,
having depended on another party 1

not materialize and I am the unwilling
victim. At best it is an unfortunate
affair, but my belief is that it will all
be adjusted to every ones satisfaction

BERGEN co. POPULATION INCREASE
over 81 PER CENT SINCE 1910. OR
1885, TOTAL NOW BEING 21O,688

=, I Bergen er county has a population of
Ten years ago the cities, towns and
boroughs had a total of 13S,002. Thus
the increase in the decade was 72,6S6,
OF at the rate of .527.
These figures were made public by
the Census Bureau at Washington.
Bergen cOunty's growth has been
steady. In 1910, the first year of a
census with the counties laid out as
they now are, the county had 1880
Ten years later it mounted to 14,70S.
Just before the Civil War the popula-
ton increased rapidly, and in 1860
the county had 21,618.
The strenuous days that followed do
not seem to have checked the growth
much, for in 1870 Uncle Sam listed
81, 033 nephews and nieces here.
The period of the 1873 panic set the
county back some, but in the later
years of the decade it picked up so that
by 1880 the total was 36,7S6. The next
ten years started the big jumps, for by
1890 there were 1926 of us.
There was great pride over that,
and the county went forward with
great leaps then. By 1900, when the
century closed, the population had
grown to 7S,441.

Ft. Lee Marrieders
Get alisade-1O to 4

Fort Lee sent another team down
to Palisade last Monday, her married
men team, and they wolloped Palisade
agin to the tune of 10 to this time.
1t wasn't so much that they won, but
they rubbed it in, Palisade does not
have many married men who can play
great ball, and several who can play
acceptable ball were away, among
them Jimmie Woolcott, Lester Burdett
and one or two more. Single men sub
stituted because of these absentees,
but some of them did not add much
to the game. The bright particular
star Of the Palisadians was MCGEE,
married, Of course. He put up a game
in center that was spectacular in the
extreme, three of his catches being lit
tie short of Speaker at his best. The
Palisade first baseman, Editor Logan,
the youngest man on the team at &C.
played the comedy element Of the
game. getting two hits and making
two one-handed stabs, one with his
.nH: &, I'm hand that made everybody
laugh. But he said he put the best
he had in him in the game, and wanted
to win awfully, If for no other reason
to spite Jimmie Moore and Pitcher
Tracy. Tracy, by the way, pitched
ball right albeit he won. And Jimmie
Moore is the best coach on the side
lines anywhere in these diggings.
Then there was old Tim Manning, a
professional of the long ago. who
brough along his batting eye and hit p
wallop to center for two bags. He was
all there at second, too.
The game, with all it's faults, was
indeed good to look at. Had Hollen-
beck had a supporting catcher he
would have made closer score. The
game ended 10 to in favor of Fort
Lee.

When the state of New Jersey tried
its hand at counting noses 1t managed
to put the number of Bergenites at
over hundred thousand-in fact,
three more than that number. When
the federal government went at the job
again in 1910 it counted 138OO2, as
told before.
New Jersey in 1915 found that this
number had been increased by 1854.
The war and the unfortunate shortage
of houses worked to keep down the in
crease during the last half of the dec
AIDE, so that instead of keeping up the
rate there was jump of but 32,O92
The increase was largely in the in
dustrlal centers, and the recently an

tain that the countys total would be
high despite the housing situation. But
for that it would now be close to
quarter of a million.

Striking Auto

James Driver, colored, employed as

died in that institution last Tuesday
night from a fractured skull.
The story as told by the police is
to the effect that Driver was riding
his motorcycle west on Passaic street.
The automobile of Theodore Boettger,
driven by Guy Newton, was going
south on Passaic avenue and had
reached about the center of Passaic
street.
Driver evidently became confused in
an effort to go around the automobile
and crashed into it on the left side
near the center.
He was found to be suffering from
a severe fracture of the skull. All
efforts to revive him were unsuccess-
full and he died shortly after.

For several months past, / have

Intoxicating liquor. and am now per-
mitted to quote d part Of his last let

II deem it at rms stage proper md
advisable to indict for selling with
out state license until that course
is held Illegal; and also proper and
advisable in suitable cases to proceed
for injunction in the Court of Chan
Gerry under the Volstead Act"
Until these instructions are changed,
we must consider the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor in Bergen county in
dictable.
The. law provides that where there
is reason to believe any of the pro-
visions of the Crimes Act is being vio-
cutor may notify its mayor to take
immediate measures by complaint, ar
rest or raid, to prevent the continu-
ance of such illegal practice and
should the mayor neglect or refuse
for a period of ten days to perform
said duty, he shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor.
1t is entirely impossible for my Of
flee to police Bergen county! l pro-
pose hereafter to use the privilege al
lowed by this statute, and if the
municipalities will not properly police
their territories, l shall be reluctantly
obliged to proceed upon that statute.

the instructions of Justice Parker in
the Intoxicating liquor matter.
