Cliffside Ends
Season With Victory

Cliffside Park High Schools foot
ball team closed it's season with a
comeback last Saturday afternoon, de-
feating the representatives of Emerson
High School by the score of rs. Fol-
lowing their defeat by Hackensack the
previous week the local lads showed a
decided improvement and played a
brand of football that kept the large
crowd of spectators on their toes from
start to finish.
Throughout the game Cliffside re-
sorted mainly to open football, for
ward passes and end runs, for their
gains, while their opponents took adj
vantage of their heavier weight and
played straight football, making their
gains through the line.
Although Cliffside entered the game
handicapped by the absence of three
regulars, the local boys had things
pretty much their own way during the
first half. They gained ground con-
sistently and were able to hold their
opponents at all times. In the second
quarter Cliffside scored their touch
down, and Borrell kicked the goal from
touchdown that eventually decided the
game. The local teams trick plays
completely deceived the boys from EN-
ersOn. 1t was through these, with the
aid of forward pass that netted 20
yards, the second play of the game,
that brought Cliffside within striking
distance of the goal line.
In the second half Emerson had
somewhat the edge. Time and again
their backfield men tore through the
weakened Cliffside line for gains.
They carried the ball to the Cliffside
one yard line, but only to meet with
stone wall resistance and to lose the
ball on downs. Borrel kicked out of
danger for the time being, but Emer-
son again began it's relentless march
down the field This time the ball was
successfully put across the line for a
touchdown, but the kick from touch
down was unsuccessful, leaving the
Cliffside still one point in the lead
The game ended with some sensa-
tional playing by Cliffside In three
plays the ball was carried go yards.
The spectators were wildly shouting
for another touchdown, but the bali
was lost to Emerson with but ten yards
to go. The game then ended.
Thus Coach Longey's team has end
ed very successful season, winning
six of the nine games played. The
spirit with which this fighting little
team met its much heavier opponents
has won for it the admiration of all
football enthusiasts. The team will
only lose very few players through
graduation in June, which will leave
strong nucleus for strong team
next year.

Senior Dance a
Brilliant Event

The senior dance given last Friday
evening by the class of 1921 of the
Cliffside Park High School will go
down in the history of the school as
one of the most enjoyable and sue
cessful affairs ever undertaken by the
students of the school. Fully 200 peo-
pie responded to the invitations ex-
tended by the seniors and gathered in
the gymnasium. The members of the
class of 1921 had spent many hours in
decorating the gym, and their efforts
magically turned it into an artisticalIy
decorated ballroom. With the use of
many purple and gold streamers and
with the dimming of the lights a very
pleasing effect was obtained.
The committee in charge of the
dance had worked diligently to make
it success, and much credit is due to
them and to their class adviser, Miss
Anna M. Rauscher, for the manner In
which everything had been cared for.
The chairmen of the various arrange
ment committees were: Emil Martini,
Invitation; Dorothy Ficken, Music
Dorothy Horton, Decoration; Jessie
Merritt, Refreshment, and Adele Di
Sciascio, Reception. The patronesses
were Mrs. Joseph Whelan, Mrs. George
Vaughn, Mrs. William Patterson AND
Mrs. James Mccarthy.

Co. Clerk Eager
Takes His Office

Bergen cOunty's new clerk was
sworn in last Monday morning in
Hackensack before a large crowd anx-
ious to see the new officer take the
oath. The ceremony was held in the
searching department on account of
the large size of the room. Retiring
Clerk George Van Buskirk was on
hand to turn over the affairs of the
office, and number of friends sent
handsome flowers. The incoming clerk
said he thought the management of
the clerks office should be nonpolitical
and declared that he would manage it
that way. Mr.. Eager has ample ca
pacity for the office to which he has
been chosen, but the retiring Mr.. Van
Buskirk has always given a mighty
fine account of himself, and anyone
will have to work hard to overshadow
or even equal his able record in the Of
flee.

Had the Laugh On
Sflerif's Posse

A game of craps that has been
going on for some time in Palisades
Park was the cause of some Inerriment
last Sunday evening. The Leonia au-
thorities had gotten wind of the game
going on at pool room, and not hav-
ing "A very large police force at his
command, the chief called on County
Sheriff Kinzley, and the latter furnish
ed an auto load of specials, and about
five o'clock Sunday the raid" was
made. Imagine the chargin of the
police and sheriff's aides to find that
there was no game on, but there were
some forty or fifty citizens lined up on
the sidewalk to watch the seizure
which did not come off. Chief King
of Leonia gave the poolroom owner
severe reprimand, either for not hav-
ing the game ready to pull or for al
lowing the victims to escape Any
how, the large crowd enjoyed the fun.
Who gave the tip-off is still a mys-
terry.

Orphanage to Ask
For Free Schools

Considerable interest is manifested
in the statements that have recently
been going the rounds of the Borough
of Fort Lee regarding the inmates of
the orphans asylum now being operat-
ed in the former home of Dr. O'Neill,
on the cliff front 1t is said that there
are now about $50 children cared for
there, and efforts are being made to
have the borough allow them to at
tend the public schools free of all
cost. 1t is also proposed to have the
orphan asylum run without taxation,
as other schools in the borough are
given this privilege, it Is said.
The orphanage to which reference is
made is a branch of an institution of
like character in Jersey City. at
seems odd" said prominent man this
week, that an institution of this kind
could come into the borough and ask
for the privilege Of working here with
out paying taxes Of any kind. I am
aware that the care of orphans is a
great and worthy charity, but the line
must be drawn somewhere, and the
burden of carrying schools and other
institutions falls on the taxpayers,
who themselves give literally to char
ity. Maybe l am all wrong in my
ideas Of this matter. But at the same
time do not think 1t right. Suppose
the largest institution of New York
city should come here and buy prop
erty for similar purposes. / cannot
see why we should not exact some
form of taxation. am opposed to
the whole business on principle"

NARROWING HACKENSACK TRAGEDY
OF MIRIAM Wal Ter, IA, WHO TRIED
TO BOARD MOVING TRAIN BUT FELL

A terribly sad and narrowing trag-
edy took place Tuesday morning in
Hackensack at the station there. Mir
lam Walter, fourteen, daughter of the
local minister, Rev. Judson Walter,
had started to the 8 10 a. m. train EN-
route to the Hackensack High School
and attempted to jump on the train
which had started just as she ran to
catch it little late. She slipped in
some way, and a passenger standing
on the platform, seeing her fall, push
ed her from the moving train. She
jumped up and in another moment
made further effort to catch the hand
rail on the next passing car, only to
fall the second time, striking the plat
form curbing where she was crushed,
but not mangled. The fall killed the
young girl instantly. Her father ran
over, surmising something might have
happened to his child, and found kind
mobile. He at once recognized her,
ana nearby physician pronounced
her dead, and her body was taken to
the Walter home. A brother of the
girl was on the train and went on TO
school where he was later told of his
sisters death. 1t was one of the sad
dest accidents in the history of Hack
ensack. In all of the circumstances
the fatality was regarded as unavoid-
able, though most tragic and unfor-
tunate.

Many Committing Suicide and Cases OF
CannibaIism Are Feared-War-
Hardened Nurses Are Moved

Constantinople.-T condition of
the refugees aboard the ninety or more
ships strung along the Bosphorus is
appalling and terrible catastrophe
is feared unless the promptest meas
ures are taken to land the thousands
who are writing in misery and In
pain. The correspondent visited sew
eral of these floating hospitals and
madhouses" and returned to shore with
forebodings of impending calamity.
None of the refugees has as yet been
taken ashore excepting the sick,
diseased and insane, the latter being
extremely numerous.
AS the correspondent rode across
the Bosporus an unpleasant smell from
the ships was waited to him despite a
strong, cold sea breeze. An American
relief officer accompanied him. AS
soon as the pair boarded the ships the
clothing Of both was virtually torn Off
by half-maddened refugees, who beg
ged to be taken to land on the open
Men, women and children, regard
less Of age or sex, are herded together
proIliscuously on the ships day and
night in state Of appalling filth and
misery. Many women Of distinguished
demeanor, despite their draggled ap-
pearance, offered to barter their val
tables, jewels and furs for a crust Of
bread or glass of water. In some
cases the refugees have been without
water for eleven days.
The correspondent heard that there
had been numerous suicides of desper-
ate refugees going insane during the
night hours. They spoke of ghostly
temptation and the sobbing call Of
the sea at night when they were dying
with thirst. Many Of the refugees
were restrained from jumping over
board, while many succeeded.
The American navy Is assisting In
transporting sick women to hospitals
and the Near East Relief also has
been prominent in the work. War
hardened nurses were moved to tears
by maddened mothers Offering their
children to visitors and the scenes of
separation have been beyond descrip-
ton. The death rate has been abnor-
NAL as the result of the biting cold
and the lack of food. The American
Red Cross is offering $4,000 rations
daily, and several Americans are Offer
ing donations and subscriptions.
The French government, which is in
full charge Of the relief work, is in
capable of dealing with the situation
and Is appealing to the Near East Re-
lief, whose funds are limited. Fear
was expressed by the ships officers
that cases of cannibalism would oc-
cur unless food supplies are received
promptly. In many cases they had to
fight off maddened men from Staying
children, they declared. The Ameri-
can hospital in STEAMBOAT is crowded
to suffocation and the American Red
Cross is giving all its available medi-
cal supplies.

Juneau Canines Too "Fresh" Dog-Catcher Badly Needed

Nearly everybody in Juneau will have something to be thankful fol tomorrow. Many will have more cause to be thankful than others and many, while they have cause to be thankful would be twice more thank full if certain things would happen. In the latter class belongs Chic; of Police Keegan.
 Say, Chief, what have you st 10 be thankful for tomorrow" was the question asked today by an Empire reporter of the head of Juneau's finest.
 Say, young fellah, I have much to be thankful for, but would be more thankful if the city would have a dog-catcher."
 Funny little thankful" thing, but the chief meant it and then tho re- porter began remembering the many complaints that had been bropghs to his notice during the past t1J weeks, by automobile owners and drivers, by one or two mothers and also by remarks made by visitors in Juneau.
 Considering it from all angles the Chief would not be the only ohe to be thankful for a dog catcher
 Two children have recently been bitten by dogs. Fortunately nothing came of the bites as medical at tention was immediately sought and given. But the dogs were running without restraint on the streets.
 Several auto parties have nearly been wrecked by a horde of dogs suddenly taking up an auto chase and getting mixed with the wheels.
 Several near accidents as certain street intersections, have narrowly been averted, and injury to pedes ren nearly run down, and in all cases the dogs were at the bottom of tho cause.
 Nobody really cares, said the chief how many dogs there are in Juneal provided they are kept under leash or in yards and used for purposes O defending property. But when dog are permitted to run at large, inter fering with traffic, knocking peopI; down, engaging in fights in tht streets, provincialism and lack O community interest is manifested.
 One afternoon last week during fiji teen minutes, according to his count | F delivery autos or private automo piles either went up Seward Stree at Front or came, down. That stree l intersection is a busy place. Durin. that time from five to eight dogs 1 of all sizes, huskies, malamutes, shep herd, sky-terriers or plain purps, be seiged the vehicles for half a blocl or SO Twice drivers narrowly es capped running down children, wh'
