Fred w. Bull Dead;
Had Strange Malady

Frederick Warrington Bull, one of
the pioneer residents of Palisade, died
on Monday morning last at Z 80
o'clock.A He had been i'll two weeks
lacking one day. When he was taken
down his pulse fifteen minutes later
took sudden jump and went to over
200 beats per minute. 1t remained
that way all the time till the end, sew
eral times going as high as 230. DR..
Scott Of Fort Lee attended the case,
but even with the assistance of DIR.
Carlyle, head diagnostician of Bellevue
Hospital, New York, was unable to
tell thefIAuse of his naLay. DIR. Car.
lyle appeared to believe In the theory
that the patients trouble might have
been superinduced by nervous
breakdown, but beyond this theory
they never got to the root Of the dis
ease.
Mr.. Bull had operated in real es-
tate in this section since about 1906,
when he first came to Palisade, and
had sold as much property, perhaps,
as any man of the section. AT times
he was very successful, and was at
the time of his death just about to put
on the market eight new homes he had
built on the south edge of Fort Lee In
the great woods of that district. He
leaves wife and one child, Freddie, a
son Of nine, and two sisters, who are
now In western Canada. He was born
in Thorald, Canada, on the 10Th OF
February, 1876, and was therefore al.
most forty-fve years old. The funeral
took place Wednesday afternoon al
the Bull home in Palisade avenue, Rev
Marshall +. Montgomery conducting
the service.
Mr.. Bull was a man of unusual cul
ture and refinement, was modest and

Clifside Women
Organize League
Cliffside Park Forms Branch of New
Jersey League of Women Voters.
Civic Duty and EnIighten-
ment Their Slogan.

At a meeting at the home of Mrs.
John White, Columbia avenue, Grant
wood, September 81, group of inter-
ested women formed local branch of
the New Jersey League of Women Vot-
ers to be known as the Independent
League Of Women Voters of Cliffside
Park with "civic duty and enlighten-
ment' as the slogan. This move was
decided upon only after considerable
discussion, after which it was decid-
ed that the direct political news from
both Trenton and Washington which
the State League sends it's members
offset the undesirability of adding
another organization to the borough.
1t was emphatically stated that the
league is absolutely non-partisan, with
NO intention of influencing it's men,
bers along party lines, but merely CIV
ing them instruction and knowledge of
procedure which will enable them to
work cOnstructively in either the Dem
ocratic or Republican partly for the
ideals in which they believe.
The leagues immediate object is the
enrolment of every woman of voting
age in Cliffside Park AS it is in a
very embryonic state, all suggestions
as to scope or conduct of work will be
welcomed and should be sent to the
chairman or secretary pro tem., Mrs.
Warren E. Sammis, or Mrs. Wallace J.
Macdonald, who are also authorized
to receive application for membership
or give any information when request
ed so to do.

Thirty of Donald Ulbrich's friends
gathered on Mrs. G. Siegrists pretty
lawn last Saturday afternoon to cele-
brate his homecoming from the Engle-

ribs, one of them puncturing his lung,
breaking his leg in two places and
suffering numerous other bruises. He
Is now up and around and will soon
be his old self again. Doctors mar
veled at Donalds recovery, as his in
juries were numerous and severe
enough to keep at least three people
in bed for weeks.
Mrs. Siegrist, who is very fond OF
children, planned to make Donald's
recovery an event which he will long
remember. Her lawn was beautifully
decorated with flags and Japanese
lanterns, and the happy guests, both
young and old, presented a very
charming scene indeed. Various games
were played and prizes awarded by
the hostess. Donald also was the re.
cipient of many useful gifts from his
friends. Refreshments consisting of
ice cream, homemade cakes and candy
were served, and everyone enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent
Among those present were Donald,
William and Regenia Ulbrich, Esther
Anderson, Helen and Dorothy Riel,
Anna May Miller, Mary and Eugene

The CITIZENS CLUB OF CL|FFSIDE
VOTES TOEXCLUDE WOMEN MEMBERS
CROWDED CONDITION OF SCHOOLS

The Cliffside Park Citizens Club
held its September meeting last Mon
day at the Masonic Hall, Grantwood
AT this meeting the club declined to
have women members and endorsed
the Independent candidacy of Gottlleb
Siegrist for Councilman.
Mr. J. Il. Whelan, president of the
School Board, gave some interesting
information regarding the conditions
In local schools. All OF the schools
are now filed to capacity due to the
unusually large number of new stu
dents. The high school is particularly
crowded and 1t will be only a matter
of several years before IL will be nec-
essary to exclude all students not re-
siding in Cllffside Borough.
In speaking of the matter OF select
Ing new supervisor to succeed Mr..
Drum, Mr.. Whelan said that the Board
received more than thirty applications
for the position and of these six or
eight had been selected for considera-
ton. Mr.. Lehsten was of the opinion
that 1t would be good policy, If possi-
Bile, to appoint as supervisor man
already connected with the local school
system.
The question of postal delivery was
brought up and II seems that there
will be no postal delivery until all
houses are numbered House numbers
would not only aid in getting postal
delivery but would also be great con-
venieDce to everyone. II was suggest
ed that Chairman Siegrist of the
Public Utilities Committee, get In
touch with Mr.. Stockwell, scoutmaster
OF the local boy scouts, to work out
plan whereby the scouts would assist
in numbering the houses.
1t was proposed to give a grand re-
ception in honor of the passage of the
coming ordinance. Invitations will be
issued to state, county and borough
officials and 10 all the members of the
coming commission. Plans for the re-
ception were left In the hands of the

DENIAL MADE that BENDER QUIT,
BUT COUNCIL Man SAYS He DID. AND
THAT IT ADDED $500 TO SALARY

The article in last weeks Palisa.
dian about the resignation of Borough
Tax Assessor Bender created an un.
usual amount of interest. One promi.
nent Palisadian called up the editor
and said, "That article about Bender
was all wrong"
what is wrong about it," he was
asked.
Several things. First, he never
resigned; next, he does not own a
Limousine automobile"
"Well, the council proceedings stated
he resigned last June"
"No; that is not true. He never re-
signed"
Don't you mean that he resigned
as was stated, and it was not accept
ed?"
"No; don't think he ever resigned
at ALL"
Perhaps you mean to say that he
did not mean it?'
The Palisadian took occasion to con-
suit one of the councilmen on the sub
ject and was told the following:
ITO be sure, Bender resigned. I'll
make affidavit to that The night it
came in-meaning the resignation-he
was asked what he wanted to resign
for and replied, I don't want to re-
sign; want more money"
'Then what happened?' he was
asked.
'Well, Howard Mackaye. acting Dor
ough attorney, was standing near and
said: Let him resign. Any man who
has his thoughts elsewhere ought to
resign. He hasn't any business filling
public office Then another council
man asked me, What do you think of
raising Charles salary $300?' I told
him that if he had to have it go ahead,
and the council voted him an extra
$780, There has been no action on the
resignation SINCE
The Palisadian was in error in an
other matter. The salary is not 49,
600, as stated, but $2,10O, which cor
rection is cheerfully made. The auto
mobile happens not to be a limousine
and is only touring car in the fam
lily. But that's nothing. Everybody
owns car nowadays, even the poor
and rich alike. Bender gets $720 a
year from the Fort Lee Building and
Loan also.

Rev. Chas. Murkland
At Palisade Church

Services at the Union Church of
Palisade were resumed last Sunday
week, Rev. Charles S. Murkland has
been retained for the month of Sep
TENDER. His first appearance was
marked by the delivery of wonder
full sermon, short enough, but filed
with the kind of message that brings
home the very soul of Christianity and
its fullest meaning. Rev. Murkland
is an earnest, cultivated speaker, and
his fine thought expressed in his first
two sermons stamp him as a man of
unusual scholarship, a theolOgian Of
marked ability, and with a chate and
marked ability, and a refined vocab-
ulary. His Bible lessons read at his
morning service give one a new inter-
probation of the meaning of Bible his
tory Last Sunday he read the scene
of Paul before Agrippa and made of
it story of profound interest, which
it has always been, of course, but his
manner of presentation gave one a
new and enlightened vision Of its
deeper meaning. No one ever heard
the story of Paul's appeal better in
terpreted, when he almost made his
accuser a Christian before he started.
1t was one of those naturally eloquent
renditions that must be heard to be
appreciated. Rev. Murkland is well
along in years, but he has lost moth
ing of earnestness, power or zeal on
that account. He should have been
favored by larger congregation.
