Bartlett they let loose. Homes were bombarded with hrecrackers which were thrown against windows, and re- volvers discharged at front doors and on piazzas When the supply of noise makers gave out the crowd moved on to repIenish it's supply, to return to the same neishborhood and continue the uproar. One woman ventured upon her piazza to request the crowd to move along. The only response she got was a yoliey of iR- decent language, characterized by one on- locker as "the most vile I ever heard. Captain Bulger was summoned and short ly after his arrival, and the arrival. of extra policemen, the crowd was scatter ed.
 In commenting upon the affair Monday

The fire department re- sponded but nothing in the nature of a fire could be found.

Randolph Perkins to
Oppose McClave

Randolph Perkins, former assembly
man and former chairman of the Re-
publican County Committee, announced
that he would be candidate for Con-
gress from the Sixth Congressional
District. The meeting was largely
attended by representatives from the
county who We're interested in the
campaign of Mr.. Perkins and his re-
marks, in part, We're as follows:
yellow Members of the Republican
County Committee: You gentlemen
who are in the County Committee know
me personally and know of my activi-
ties and affiliations; you know me as
a man, and what qualifications 1 may
possess.
81 believe that the campaign in the
primaries, as well as in elections,
should be conducted on the highest
plane, having regard to the issues of
the day and not in anywise to per-
sOnalities affecting candidates. 1t is,
therefore, my intention in conducting
the campaign to avoid personalities of
every description and to confine the
contest, so far as L possibly can, to a
discussion of the issues and problems
confronting the people.
"There are two issues of great i'm
pOrtance which ought not to await a
formal statement from a candidate.
The first one is purely a question of
law and order This is a government
of laws and not of men, and in the
campaign I shall stand squarely for
the enforcement of the Constitution
of the United States and of the laws
of the United States The other mat
ter to which I refer is the question
of woman suffrage. I stand now, and
have stood in the past, squarely in
favor of woman suffrage, and it is my
conviction and hope that the constitu-
tional amendment enfranchising wom-
en- will be passed before the coming
election"

Nutley Man Killed
In Auto Collision

Albert Anderson of Nutley died in
the Paterson General Hospital Mon
day morning as the result of injuries
received in an auto accident the night
before.
Mr.. Anderson was driving south
along River road, Lnydhurst, about
IL 80 Saturday night on his way to-
ward Newark in a seven-passenger
Studebaker automobile when another
car ran into him, ripping off the front
wheel and turning his car completely
over. pinning Mr.. Anderson under it.
The driver of the second car never
stopped to see what the result of the
accident was, but put on more speed
and disappeared before any Informal
ton could be obtained.
Mr.. Anderson was rescued from I'M
derneath the auto and rushed to the
hospital, where an examination show
ed that he was suffering from a badly
fractured skull.
The police of Lyndhurst have. not
the slightest clue to work on toward
ascertaining who the driver of the
auto which caused the accident may

Startling Figures
On Building Costs

William J. Mahoney, the well known
sand man of Fort Lee, gave some star
Ting figures this week to a Palisadian
man on building materials. He was
asked:
"What is the difference now in the
price of sand and before the big raise
in the price of everything?"
"Sand has not gone up in proper
ton to other materials entering into
building costs. We formerly sold good
sand at $1.40 per cubic yard. We now
get $2.75. But brick that were 81 per
thousand now sell for $31 per thou
sand. Cement was $1.50 per barrel
and is now So. Lath were S. per thou
sand; now 500. Lime formerly brought
$125 per barrel, but is worth now SIS.
The old price of bricklaying in the
wall was SIS per thousand, but the
cost has gone UP to $50. The greatest
and perhaps the most arbitrary ad-
vance is the price of brick. A fair
price is looked upon now as $40. They
are not worth cent. more. So, you
see, sand has not been advanced any
where near other like commodities,
has it?"

Very Sad Tragedy,
Boy Shoots Mother

There was a sad case of accidental
shooting in DumOnt last Saturday.
Twelve-year-old Herbert Pekary, Jr.,
was cleaning an old revolver after
having removed all the cartridges.
Playfully swapping the weapon in the
kitchen when he was with his mother,
the "always there" shell exploded, the
bullet striking her in the right temple,
killing her instantly. There were five
other children in the house, and the
six did what they could to revive the
mother, but, of course, failed, and
Herbert disappeared, but was later
found near the home.
A policeman happened to be near
and, hearing the shot, went to the Pek-
airy house and later found the boy in
the woods near. He was taken to the
Hackensack Jail, but not locked in.
A report in the Record tells of the
pathetic scene between the boy and
his father when the latter returned
from New York.
Mr.. Pekary and Miss Beatrice Os-
born, the boys Sunday school teacher,
visited the Jail at about II O'Clock
Sunday, and Albert was sent for. The
father stood in the sheriffs office as
his son came out of the Jail door, and
the latter ran to the Outstretched
arms.
Daddy, didn't mean to shoot man.
ma honest, l didn't, for 1 didn't know
the gun was loaded" exclaimed the
lad, tears streaming down his face.
81 know you didn't, son, and every
thing will be all right" replied the ia
Their as he patted Albert ON the back.
81 know mamma is dead, daddy"
said the boy.
GLOW do you know that? Who told
you?" asked the father in surprise.
"Why, saw the undertaker's wag-
on at the house just as they were
taking me away" answered Albert,
and the father was thus saved a pain
full duty.
Mr.. Pekary said that his son knew
he had revolver in the closet, but he
was told never to take it out unless it
was necessary to protect his mother or
any urgent need.
Under Sheriff Fox says the lads in
Dumont have developed mania for
using all sorts of small guns in target
practice, and Albert thought he would
like to try his fathers .3S caliber re-
volver. The lad was cleaning it at the
time of the tragedy.
1t is doubtful ! if the case will be
prosecuted.
Albert was the oldest boy in the
family. There is a girl fourteen years
of age. The other five children are
younger.

Community Service
May Be Cliffside

In all interview with Mr.. Adolf Les.
ser of Edgewater, chairman of the
Community Service, he told of the
work and of his efforts aided by a
Y. M. G. A. secretary, Mr.. Steele. The
men were originally gathered into
large groups for the classes as started
by the Community Service and now
each group belonging to certain fac
tory is taken care of as such. 1t will
be remembered that a large number
were taken to Hackensack about May
first to receive their naturalization pa
pers and quite a demonstration was
made in celebration. Since then Mr..
Lesser has taken several smaller
groups The work is so organized that
if a man comes in new to a factory,
willingness is ascertained in regard to
becoming citizen, the Y. M. c. A. man
is notified and he is encouraged I'M
til he receives his papers two years
later. Should he need schooling, it is
supplied in the meantime. The work
done by these methods considerably
accelerates the necessary procedure at
Hackensack so there is no time
wasted.
AS the hearty wish for some such
work in Cliffside Park was expressed
by its resident who was interviewing
Mr.. Lesser, the latter suggested that a
work of that kind be started in that
borough and in Fairview, in both of
which is large population of foreign
workers.
Mr.. Lesser is planning to try to Sc
cure an experienced worker in the
next few weeks, who shall be play
ground director, and one who will adj
vance the proposition, co-ordinating
the different groups, interesting the
adults in athletics, etc, and do val
liable work in providing as substitute
for the harmful recreation of the
former saloon, the improving recrea-
ton which trained workers are intro
ducing, as well as creating patriotic
citizens.
Should Cliffside Park and Fairview
cooperate in a Community Service
with Edgewater, it would be to the adj
vantage of all for the National Com
munity Service headquarters would
feel it of sufficient importance to send
trained worker to give his whole
time for several months to the splendid
work in this section.

Two Big Cars Crash
In Anderson Ave.

Last Sunday morning around one
o'clock, a big seven-passenger Kissel,
going south in Anderson avenue, col
lided with a Hudson of similar size.
The Kissel car was badly demolished
around the front end of the hood, and
several hundred dollars damage done.
1t looked a sight. The Hudson was
not so much hurt. Both sets of oc-
cupants were arrested by the Cliffside
police and taken in for trial. Speed
and drink were limited at by parties
who saw the wreck, as the cause Of
the accident.

Nipped in the Bud

Early morning auto speeders ON the
Bergen roadways have been hitting it
up at a too lively gait for some time.
They got balk last Monday. Before
Justice Max H. Them, of Rochelle
Park, any number of violations of the
speed law got theirs. The Franklin
turnpike SpeedSters were complained
of principally.
According to the Record. Chief
County Traffic Officer Peter J. Siccardi

day and took up his vigil on Franklin
turnpike

Robert P. Bell 592 Seventeenth street
Brooklyn; Philip Simone, 317 East
Twenty-seventh street, New York city !;
Otto Gauer, Cornwall, n. Y; James

part because he was in hurry to ap-
pear in bankruptcy proceeding in the

Joseph kantrOwitz, of 81 Eldridge
street, New York city, paid $25 and
costs TO Justice, Cummings for driving
his automobile twenty-five miles an
hour on Passaic street, Monday.

Motor Rider
Bolts Highwayrnan

Raymond Hubert of Bogota reports
that an attempt was made last Tues
day night to hold him up at Arcola
while on his way home on a motor
cycle. He claims that an auto con-
tanning five men stopped their ma
chine in front of his, turned out their
lights and commanded him to stop.
One of the five had club and another
a searchlight.
AS Hubert came nearer two of
them stepped little to one side and
as he passed they each made grab
for a handle bar. Grasping the situa-
ton quickly, Hubert put on more
speed and shot by, one of the foot
pads shouting, "Stop, or we will shoot"
This caused the young man to give
his engine another squirt of gas and
he soon outdistanced his pursuers.-

GAS RATE TO BE $1.40 PER 1000;
COMPANY HAD ASKED FOR S1,55,
BUT UTILITIES BOARD FIXED RATE

A wire from Trenton on Wednesday
last says:
A lowering of the heat standard OF
gas used in this state, with a rate in
crease from $1.15 per thousand to
$40 per thousand, has been granted
by the State Board of Public Utilities
Commissioners. The standard has
been reduced from 600 to 525 British
thermal units. The rate increase
granted to the Public Service Gas
Company throughout the state as far
south as Camden, provides for grad.
ually decreasing rate with the con.
sumption of more than 10000 cubic
feet per month. The company's appli.
cation for an increase to $1.55 per
thousand cubic feet was denied
"a fair deduction from all of the
testimony submitted" said the re-
port of the board, sis that from the
economic standpoints in the manufac-
ture and consumption of gas and con.
Servation of the fuel supply, which
admittedly is fast becoming deficient
a change in the existing caIorific
standard is desirable. Industries nor,
mally using oil have largely increased
their use other industries not nor
mally using Oil are now using it. The
current production has not kept pace
with these increased demands. 1t af-
Tentatively appears, however, that re-
cent investigation by the United
States Interior Department developed
the fact that the supply from the pres
eent available sources will become eX-
hausted in from fifteen to twenty
years."
Based ON the new standard of 500
B. T. u, the board established the
following schedule of rates, to be eff
fective after August 1, 1920 For the
first 10000 cubic feet per month, S1.40
per 1000; next 10000 cubic feet per
month, $1.35 per 1000; next $4,000
cubic feet, S13O per 1000; next 3d.
600 cubic feet per month, $120 per
1000; next 100000 cubic feet per
month, $1.1O; and all over 100000
cubic feet per month, $1.05 per 1000.

Gas Record Sales for
Grantwood Garage

The Grantwood Garage, at Anderson
and Larston avenues, owned by Becker
Brothers, although not one of the
oldest, is credited with remarkable
record in the sale Of gasoline. 1t is
said to sell more gasoline and motor
oil than any other garage in Bergen or
Hudson counties. They sell Tydol
and Standard, and the record covers
both products. Mr.. Becker said this
week to Palisadian man, Eyes, 1
guess we merit this record. If you
come around here any time of the
day or night you can see for your
self how busy we are. We expect to
put in the Sinclair products soon, and
shall sell that gasoline at very low
figure"
