Roosevelt School
Cornerstone Laid
Without a DiscOrtE
II,OO0 Masons - Marcl,
Through Ridgefield Park +;
Plans for Orders Rites
Drew Earlier Criticism

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N. j., June II.
The cornerstone Of the Roosevelt
High School in Ridgefeld Park, N. j.,
over the laying of which there grew
a controversy that spread beyond the
town limits to the State Board of Edn-
cation at Trenton, was laid peacefully
this afternoon by the Grand Master OF
Masons of New Jersey, Ernest A. Reed.
There was big parade before the
cornerstone ceremonies were begun.
Delegations from Masonic lodges
throughout New Jersey and from New
York to the number Of 1000, marched
through the town to the high school,
ar Hazleton Street and Teaneck Road.
Job Hedges. of New York was in line,
hut his address was prevented by
squall of wind and rain.
Six weeks ago, when George L. Leigh,
President of the Board of Education,
announced that the cornerstone would
be laid by Mosaic Lodge of Ridgefield
Park, protest was made by Joseph
Court, saying that ritualistic cere
roony by secret society over a pub
lie building was something that ought
not be permitted in free country
Egan and others attended the next
meeting of the Board of Education and
lodged a formal protest. The School
Board said that its plans were made
and it was too late to change. A letter
was then sent to Acting Commissioner
of Education John Enright, who wrote
to the Ridgefield board suggesting that
the stone be laid by the board itself.
To this letter the same reply was sent,
that the ceremonial plans had already
been completed.
Theodore Roosevelt jr, who was un-
able to attend, sent letter to the
school board that was added to the
memorabilia in the cornerstone.
The big street parade, throughout
which many bands were interspersed,
was led by Major George F. Mahon as
grand marshal. He was grand marshal
of the parade in New York that well
coined the late Theodore Roosevelt back
home from his jungle trip through
Africa.

Couvert'Charsgse
Mystery Solved
I'm Cabaret Suit
It's Notfor Tip Insurance or
Rent, but 10 Pay Enter
tainers, the Hysons Say
i'm Demand for $4,000

Persons who have paid convert
charges in restaurants, particularly in
those places where, entertainment is
furnished with the meals. will learn
something of interest from the suit
filed in the Supreme Court yesterday
by Carl Hyson and Mrs. Dorothy Dick
son Hyson against the Russell Hotel
and Restaurant Company, (which owns
the Palais Royal.
Diners out have su,mised all along
that when they spent an evening in
one OF the cabaret restaurant they were
in some way contributing toward the
upkeep of the performers. Also it was
Q matter of conjecture with them just
what part of the general or extraordi-
nary expenses Of the establishment they
were defraying when they paid cou-
vert charge. ranging from twenty-five
cents to So. Of course it is not the
way of a convert paying New Yorker,
or to ask questions about what he is
paying for.
So the convert has remained just
matter of conjecture. Some guessed
that the extra charge covered the
laundering of the table cover, while
still others, equally inexperienced, had
an idea that the convert charge was
something demanded by the walters
union, as insurance against diners who
might be inclined to forget to leave
tip All these persons were wrong,
at least in the case of the Palais Royal
as the suit of the Rysons proves.
This action reveals that the man who
guessed that he paid the talent was
right. The HSsons are suing for S10,-
600, which they claim is due them
under contract with the concern that
conducts the P.alais Royal. Carl and
Dorothy Dickson Hyson state in their
complaint that they are first class per-
formers of wide reputation, They
went to work for the Palais Royal last
September, they allege, under con-
tract which provided that they were
to receive one-haaf of all convert
charges collected ARID that such charges
after 10 o'clock at night, were to be
not less than ST and then upward to
81. The plaintiffs say that in the first
two weeks of their employment the
defendant restaurant company col
lected $3.50 in convert charges and
accounted to them for only SLABS.
The convert industry took squirt in
October, when, according to the Hy
sons, it produced $12,7S6, while the
defendant, it is alleged accounted for
only $9,562 In November, still using
the figures supplied by the Hysons, the
collections amounted to $10,833, the
accounting to the plaintiffs showing
only $7,839.
The Hysons say the share still due
them under the fifty-ffty arrangement
for the division of the convert charges
is $4,000, for which they ask judg-
ment

Autoists Asked
IoElelp Enforce
The Traffic Law
Chief Magistrate McAdoo
Issues Appeal to Drivers
To- Cooperate With Court
for Benefit of the Public
Cites New Regulations
New Legislation Gives Courts
w i d er Discretionary
Power Over Applicants

Automobilists of New York were
asked yesterday, in a statement issued
by Chief Magistrate McAdoo, to assist
by carrying out the letter and spirit of
new legislation involving the regula
tion of vehicular traffic in bringing
about great benefit to the public
The chief magistrates statement
was an explanation of the new laws, in
which he explains each with the great
est care, He says:
In the first place the whole licens-
ing machinery has been taken from the
Secretary Of States office and lodged
in that of the Tax Commissioner 1t
was generally agreed by all concerned
that if the power remained with the
Secretary of State, instead of less than
half a dozen inspectors for the whole
state, he should be given corps of
trained and intelligent men to do the
work that was then required of him;
that the examinations of proposed
drivers should be painsstaking and thor
ough, and include field examination
as TO their character and fitness, or
Use that separate Office for Motor
Vehicle Commissioner with sufficient
force should be created. The transfer
TO the Tax Commissioner appears to be
based on economic reasons.
Another outstanding feature of the
new law is that the reckless driver
who runs down persons in the street
without kinlling them is to be held
Tor assault in the third degree. That
means that a driver guilty of culpable
negligence in running over or injur-
ing any one can be arrested the same
as if he had committed a deliberate
assault with his fist, his hands or a
weapon.
"ln connection with the power to
take specific charges for assault of per-
sons who are run over in the streets
or injured we also hope to beget spe-
cial court in which all the facts will be
Brought out where persons have been
killed and the charge necessarily would
be manslaughter. We have not given
up the idea, when proper quarters have
been secured, to establish a clearing
house as in the old Coroner's Court
pecially In the big borough of Man
haitian. When one considers that
nearly one thousand cases have never
had day in court, the necessity of this
is apparent. If for nothing else it is
demanded by decent and orderly ad-
ministration Of the law and as a right
on the part Of those who have lost
relatives or friends by death under
these circum stances.
''In order that this situation may be
thoroughly understood, herewith are tho
instructions which are being sent out
to the magistrates and clerks:
"'Your attention is called to various
new laws having an important effect
on motor vehicles and their operation.
The first of these is Chapter IS, Laws
of 1921. 1t amends the motor vehcle
law by providing:
"'That steering mechanism as we'll
as brakes shall be in good working
order; that horns or other signaling
