By Federal Judges

Trenton, Oct 12.-An Scent fare in
stead of 7-cent fare and 1-cent
charge for transfers instead of g
cent charge, on the lines of the Public
Service Railway Company is permitted
in decision handed down today by
the three federal judges who heard
the application of the company for an
injunction restraining the State Board
of Public Utility Commissioners from
interfering with the collection of 10
cent fare. The company is instructed
to give receipts for fare collected
pending final adjustment of the fare
contest in the New Jersey courts.
The Public Utility Board, after ex
tensive hearings earlier this year, on
an application for a 10-cent rate of
fare granted 7-cent rate and an ad-
ditional charge of 2 cents for transfers
on the lines of the company.
The decision was handed down by
Judge Wooley of the United States
Circuit Court and concurred in by
Judge Rellstab of the United States
District Court. Judge Davis of the

EOS Pupils in the
Palisade School

In talk with Miss Maud Brady,
principal of the Palisade public school,
this week, she said:
Eyes, am pleased to announce that
we have now more than 200 pupils
in the Palisade school. So many new
families have moved to town with
children that we cannot take care Of
all that would like to get into school.
1t is too bad, but we hope for the BEST
We are doubling up some Of the grades
in the only way we can-that is, allow
ing one half of a grade to attend
school morning for one week, then
come in the afternoons the next week.
While this is somewhat discouraging,
we can only hope for more room as
soon as the board can find the money
with which to build an addition to our
present building. Our facilities are
inadequate, but at that we are doing
very well indeed with 205 pupils.".

Fl. Lee School
May Expel Orphans

The first meeting for this season of
the Helping Hand" association was
held at the Christian Home for Or
phans on Tuesday afternoon, repre-
senting all the nearby towns. The
members who met at two o'clock be-
gan the sewing and mending of the
children's clothing and at the later
business meeting the problem of the
education of the children was discus
sed, for the Fort Lee Board of Educa-
ton has not only rendered bills for
twenty-five dollars apiece for the
childrens' education last season, but
has this year increased the tuition to
fifty dollars, for this Home which
depends entirely on voluntary gifts
from month to month and which has
not dollar to expend on the educa-
ton, which has always, until now, been
free to these children as to all others
In this state.
A numbere of the women interested
are writing to Commissioner Enright
at Trenton expressing their strong
protest against this injustice as they
feel it. AS the Home has no funds for
this unexpected demand the children
are threatened with expulsion from the
school by the board.
Through the influence of Mrs. Sibley
the julius Zannette Post is taking up
the matter and sending resolutions to
Trenton decrying this action against
American born children.
Two new members were received
into the Association. A letter was
read from the president of the body,
Mrs. Donaldson, recommending the
consideration of an entertainment in
October for the Home and asking for
aid on various committees and it was
decided to have musicale on Sat
urday, October 90 at the Home, with
talent from the nearby towns and some
entertainment by the children. Re-
freshments will be served and col
lection taken for the Home.
