Germ is called the Palisade Theater
Corporation, and William Richard
krebs is named as treasurer. The
company has offices in New York at
l03 West Forty-first street. From the
advertisement it would appear that
the proposal is to build structure that
will contain a fine banking room, u
theater for movies and a public hall,
besides Offices and stores. The cost,
while not as yet stated, Is, according
to information that has reached 1.-The
Palisadian," to be about $4,000 or
more. The public hall will be subject
to rent for all public occasions, dances,
public meetings, and the like. 1t will,
If properly managed, be fine addi-
ton to the public buildings of Pail
SADIE, and the enterprise appears to be
most appealing. When further infor-
nation Is to be obtained it will be
given out, of course.

communities are eagerly anticipating
the treat that is to be given them at
the Cliffside Park High School on Fri
day evening, June IS. The seniors of
the school are to present the fine come
dy that thousands enjoyed for several
seasons on Broadway, the play of
"Shop Thief" It's a treat that
shouldn't be missed and If you don't
hurry and purchase a ticket you'll be
standing through the performance.
Miss Ball has coached her proteges
so that they have the play down so
well that you won't realize that the
play is being presented by amateurs.
There are the precarious positions
as well as the comical circumstances
that the thief as well as the members
Of the household and their friends
enter.
Leading roles are played by: Jack
Hunter, Orrin Carpenter, Frank Weeks
ner, David Kuehne and Edwin Lecato.
while the leading feminine roles are
taken by Julia Weigle, Edith Carpen-

Palisade Children
Have Evening Dance

The Children's Dancing Glass of Pal
isade held it's closing meeting with an
enjoyable party on Friday evening at
the schoolhouse. Miss Graf, the dane
ing teacher who is also the manual
training teacher of the schools, had
made delightful preparations for the
children, and they matched for their
partners in various ways. For one
dance they matched pictures which
had been cut in two, and for another
they had lighted candles with white
and red bands around them, on the I'M
der side of which the name of a bow or
girl was printed, so that as the candle
burned down it revealed the name. In
still another dance the girls had red
hearts and the boys white ones and
with numbers which matched.
The refreshments of ice cream and
cake were much appreciated, and so
was the boys orchestra from Fort Lee.
Each member of the class was priyi-
legged to bring guest, and these, with
a..
several of the mothers and fathers
also dropped in to see the pretty sight
Mr.. and Mrs. Pencil, Mr. and Mrs.
Miller, Mrs. Cornell, Mrs. Schmidt. Mrs.

Cliffside High
Boosts A. A. Fund

AT the beginning of the school wear
now closing the Alumni Association of
the local High School offered the fol-
lowing proposition to the High School
Athletic Association: If the A. A.
would raise the sum of 5000 by means
other than A. A. dues or admissions
to same the Alumni Association would
give them like sum.
SO the student body of the High
School, after delay of eight months.
put their shoulders to the wheel and
started the drive.
Edwin CorriSton was selected as
chairman of the fund committee and
both Martin Stein and Kenneth Green
leaf served as vice chairmen.
Up to last Thursday one hundred
and thirty dollars had veen raised.
So the last assembly of the student
body was held under the auspices of
the Athletic Association.
Speeches in plea for the entire
student body to ego over the top in
the fund were made by Stein, Green
leaf and COrriston. When theys were
finished they asked for pledges of sums
of at least fifty cents from the stu
dents. After twenty minutes the sum
of money pledged was $235.
One of the ideals of the local High
School and which they always show
is the slogan of, "Never Quit" The
student body is to be commended for
the brilliant support they have given
to everything that has been requested
of them. The Junior High School de-
serves great deal, too, for the fine
manner in which they aid the
older students of the High School.

in his usual good manner, while Bor-
relli welded his bat to good advan-
tage.
Stein made a spectacular catch of
ASpanos long drive to left In the last

SubpoenaS, returnable June 81, have
been issued in &c suits instituted in
the Court of Chancery against as many
jitney operators by Public Service Rail

ing the legal right of these operators
to run their busSeS as at present in
competition with and to the Obstruc-
ton of the street railway in the con-
duct of its business as passenger
carrier under legislative authority.
The company asks that these opera
tors be enjOined.
The SO defendants were selected at
random among the many operating in
the territory served by the railway
company, which embraces 142 munich
palities in II counties. Should the
court sustain the cOmpany's contention
that the jitney operation is unlawful
and hindrance to the proper carrying
on of the duties of the railway, actions
against other operators will be insti-
tuted.
In it's complaint the company sets
forth that it pays out more than ST.
100000 annually in wages to employees
and additional millions in taxes, be-
sides street repair and paving obliga-
lions, and that it's business represents
an investment of more than $150,00O,-

fair return, due largely to jitney COM
petition.
The company has pointed out that
it had been hoped regulation of the
jitney would place it under the same

Paterson, June S.-Prior to the i'm

tice, yesterday blamed the officials of
Passaic for the crime in that they per-
mitted Intoxicating liquors to be sold
in violation of the eighteenth amend
ment and also on the Sabbath in VIC
lation.of state law.
The court, after pointing out that
the quarrelsome disposition of Petrow-
sky had been aggravated on the night
of the Staying by the extraordinary use
of intoxicants said:
"And it happened on a Sunday, when
you should have been in church or in
your home with your wife and family.
That rs largely not your fault, but the
fault of the people and officials of Pas
sale, who are greatly responsible for
the crime that exists here and are to
some extent responsible for the crime
that exists in your particular case"
Justice Minturn intimated that he
would have liked to have had the case
go to trial so that he could incidentally
investigate the sale of liquor in Pas
sale.
