from the gates, shortly before the
execution was to take place the
crowds surged about him.

you to avenge him but just fight for

There was no disturbance and the
crowds melted away when the prison
bell told them that Traynor was
dead.
Plying eyes were turned on the
bowed and shabby form of a woman
who knelt near the prison entrance
surrounded by her brood of ten chill
dren. The woman was Mrs. Tray
nor, wife of the doomed man.
Tears streamed down her face and
she prayed audibly, the beads Of her
rosary slipping through her tremb-
ling fingers. The older children
were weeping and praying also. the
younger ones clinging dumbly to the
mothers shawl.

Bergen County
Dry by July 4th

Inspired by the rapidity with which
law-abiding saloonkeepers are volun-
tarily closing up their establishments
and devoting their efforts to more
legitimate business, and speak-easie.
are being forcibly closed, Sheriff
Kinzley ventures the announcement
that Bergen county will be entirely
"dry" by next July. 4th, and is now
setting about to make that prophecy
come true.
In statement issued last week the
sheriff says emphatically that those
who are violating the prohibition laws
in fancied security had better prepare
themselves for the inevitable, as "the
saloon must CO." Prosecutor Hart,
working in close cooperation with the
sheriff's office, is bringing quick con-
victions, with stiff fines for the first
offense, and after that Jail sentences.

Home Defense guard, as well as aiding
several times at Camp Merritt in gen.

N. Y. Telephone Co.
Nearly Normal

The New York Telephone Company
in 1920 met 65 per cent of the demand
for new service in it's New Jersey divi-
sion. This was a remarkable showing
in view of the size of the demand for
service and the inability to secure and
install new telephone facilities as rap
idly and to the extent desired.
The demand for new service in 1920
was the greatest the company has ever
experienced. 1t was II per cent larger
than that of 1919 and IS per cent
larger than that of 1916, in which year
wartime demands reached the high
water mark.
The company installed 1885 tele-
phones in the past year in northern
New Jersey. This figure best shows
the extent to which applications for
new service were met, yet today there
are approximately $4,000 applications
for service still pending on the COM
pany's books.
Telephone service in the New Jersey
division today is close to the standard
of pre-war days.

zONINC ORDINANCE IS
UPHELD IN OPINION OF SUPREME
COURT, JUDGE PARKER DECIDING

The long looked for decision in the
Cliffside Park Zone case has been
made through a decision by Judge
Charles w. Parker of the supreme
court. Borough Attorney Arthur NJ.
Agnew prepared the case, and it was
argued several months ago. The basis
OF the suit was on plea against the
Zoning ordinance passed by the Dor
ough of Cliffside Park last September.
In the Spring of 1920 Senator Mackay
passed bill making it legal for mu-
inequalities of the size of Cliffside Park
to establish coming divisions. These
divisions consisted of one family dis
trict, two-family section, business Sec
ton, light industrial land multi-family
section. The Cliffside Park Realty
Company contended that on certain of
it's holdings between Palisade avenue
and George road, it interfered with
their property rights, and sought to
have the ordinance nullified through
court action. The realty company
employed Wendell j. Wright ais its
attorney, he attacking the ordinance
ON the ground that 1t was uncOnStitu-
tional, and discriminatory against the
rights of the petitioners. The deci-
sion of Judge Parker handed down
last Saturday holds that the act is
not unconstitutional There are GER
tain technical things in the opinion
which are not essential to the main
thought that the ordinance has been
upheld, which is the main thing of
interest to the general public. Attor-
ney Wendell Wright has said that he
would appeal from the decision but
it is not clear just now how he may
proceed The main facts of interest
are that coming laws are effective in
other municipalities of the state, and
because Cliffside Park is new sized
municipality accorded the coming privi-
leges, is no reason for the privilege
being taken away. The opinion pre-
walls that it is going to be very diff
cult to upset Judge Parker's decision.
There is great rejoicing all over the
borough at this great victory. Attor-
ney Agnew's friends feel proud over
his fine victory, while he is wearing
his honors with becoming grace.

Taking Weather;
6-Inch Snow-Not

The muchly touted snOwstorm that
was to follow the one of last Sunday
did not materialize. Old Andy Devoe
has now reached the professional
press agent stage. He is sending his
pictures and so-called weather data of
late to the New York newspapers. The
Daily News appears to be exploiting
DeVoe considerably. Tuesday News
said:
"New York will be the center of an
other snow and wind storm, with a
sudden drop in temperature that will
leave the mercury near the zero mark.
The storm will break as Monday
merges into Tuesday That's the
warning sounded by Andrew Jackson
DeVoe, the Hackensack IN j. wealth
er prophet.
"Chief Observer James HI. Scarf of
the United States Weather Bureau
here was not as definite, but neverthe-
less predicted a storm due today. He
said a storm was moving north, but
whether it would bring snow and cold
or rain and warmth. depended on it's
course.
Mr. DeVOe said: Sundays storm
was only half blizzard The storm
that is still due is now in Texas and
moving north. 1t will bring New York
a six-inch snowfall on top of the one
we had Sunday
"On March the worst storm of the
season will hit the western and south
western states, with much snow and
high winds. 1t will be mostly rain
here, but on March Is we'll get our
last big snowstorm of the season.
Note the cocksureness of the wealth
err tinkerer and the man of real wealth
er science. "Unless it is Diverted
says the latter in effect; "there is like
ly to be another snowstorm." Not so
the pretender. He speaks with all of
the audacity of some one knowing
nothing at all and let's it go at that.
Tomorrow he would rush in where an
gels dare to tread, as of old, and make
it hit or miss.
Instead of the siX-inch snow there
was merely party cloudy day, with a
few flakes of snow falling now and
then that did not amount to anything
at all. In the early afternoon the
blue sky showed itself, and more glo-
rious sunshine never came from out of
heaven. If some people would only
learn the difference between being a
mountebank and an honest man they
would see how fine it is to rise above
humbuggery and foolish deception.
