MEETING TO OTAKEUP
| LOCAL RATE CASES
Citizens Federation to Con.
slider Railway Issues Before
| Utilities Commission.

A special meeting Of the Federation
of Citizens Associations probably
will be held within ten days
to consider what stand the citizens
should take on the several rate cases
that will come before the utilities
commission the latter part Of the
month.
This meeting of tho federation. the
date for which has not been set, Will
be followed by a conference of the
organizations that make up the red
Grafton.
Request for Lower Rate Pending.
The federation already has pending
bccare the commission request LOT u
reduction in the rate of fare on the
Capital Traction lines. William Mck.
Clayton, chairman Of the utiilties
Committee of the federation, told the
Commissioners a few days ago tnat
the federation was not insisting upon
separate rates of fare for the two
street railway companies.
He intimated that the federation
would contend for uniform rate OF
fare, based on the needs OF the Capltal
Traction Company. This would mean
reducing the fare on both lines to an
amount that would not give the Cap
ital Traction Company excessive earn
ings.
Hearings to Begin July IA.
Between July IA ana 20 the COM
mission will hold hearings on street
car fares, electric light rates, gas
rates and telephone charges.
Mr.. Clayton expressed it as his be-
lief last night that the present rate
of $125 per thousand cubic feet FOR
gas should be reduced in September,
when the existing order expires.
At the special meeting soon to be
held the federation, 1t is expected,
will pass resolutions voicing it's atti-
tude on each Of the forthcoming rate

Leaving the park, the Noffka party
rode up Palisade avenue in their car
and turned down Grant avenue TO
their home. A large car filed with
men drove up alongside and command
ed Noffka to throw up his hands. He
did not do this and Dyer was searching
through three bags said to have held
$4,000 for revolver. When Noffka
did not obey one of the holdup men
jumped on the running board of his
Hudson, but George shot the car ahead
and the fellow fell off, but shot at the

he reported the attempted holdup.
All the post men were then informed

Bullet Hits Beans
Home Monday

Two young men having the fun of
their lives last Monday evening about
7 O'Clock, were firing a pistol at any
thing they came across, over by Pail
SADIE avenue, about opposite the
George e. Clarke home. At that hour
a stray shot from a pistol was heard
to sing through the air for mo-
ment, then it struck tree in the
Prof. Beans home, and glancing, hit
the white wall of the house, fortu-
nately not hitting anyone. Mr.. Clark
and Professor Beans at once put out
after the parties and soon found them
They We're compelled to give up their
weapon, told of their dangerous act in
firing a pistol in these woods and ask
ed not to come around again. But for
the fact that the young man who did
the shooting had two ladies with him
and also two children, he would have
been turned over to the police. The
firing in the woods of Palisade has
continued for years, and no set plan
has ever been adopted to stop it. 1t
IS high time to make a start.

Clifside Police
Get Auto Thieves

Cliffside police were on their mettle
this week
Three daring automobile thieves
were captured by Cliffside police last
Tuesday night less than an hour after
they had stolen an automobile owned
by William Baker of Anderson ave-
nue., Grantwood, which was parked in
front of 55S9 Hudson Boulevard, North
Bergen, says the Observer.
The Cliffside police were on the
lookout for the stolen car, on in
formation from North Bergen.
Seeing the officers approach, the
three men jumped out of the auto
and started to run. Two We're cap
tured after thrilling chase in which
several shots were fired. They were
James Kings of 753 Thirty-fourth
street, who gave his name to the Cliff
side police as James Burns and
Thomas Webb of 155 Hamilton ave
nue., North Bergen.
The third man, Ray BRANDON,
who lives in the house in front of
which the car was stolen, managed 70
escape, only to be caught an hour
later at his home, after the first two
captured had revealed h S identity.
King gave his name as Burns to
the Cliffside police, but when the men
We're brought to North Bergen, Webb
and King were well known to the
police there. King is the same man
.who was arrested in West New York
on a serious charge preferred by a
girl, and is a brother of the notorious
King that broke North Bergen Jail two
months ago and is still at large.
Webb had been arrested different
times in North Bergen for various Of
lenses, but each time political pres
sure was brought to bear and he es-
capped punishment. Each time he ap-
peared he was told that if he came
again severe punishment would be
melted out to HIM. All have been

81 Maple street, Rutherford will prob
ably survive an experience practically
unparalleled in the history of Fourth
of July accidents. On Sunday, the
boy was loading a toy cannon on Park
avenue, Eaa Rutherford, packing in a
charge of Jowder extracted from tor
pedoes, as an explosive locally known
as ''throy Edown." He was using a steel
rod five inches long and three-eighths
of an inch thick for a ramrod, when
the cannon exploded. The boy was
thrown to the sidewalk, but was able
to walk to the office of DIR. Charles
d. Brooks.
The physician found a bad wound
in the boys face, under his right eye,
which he cleaned of the powder marks
as far as was possible, and applied the
usual treatment. In the course of his
work DR.. Brooks noticed a swelling at
the base of the brain, which he lanced,
and found the rod which the boy had
been using as ramrod, prOtruding.
The rod was extracted, having gone
clear through the boys head. After
further dressing he was taken back
to his grandmother's home, where he
is resting easily, with the practical
certainty of recovery without perma
