Baby Sheila Ahearn
Dies of Poisoning

The infant daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
VIM. P. Ahearn, of Grantwood, was ac-
cidentally poisoned last week, Friday,
and died the same evening from it's
effects. The community was greatly
shocked at the terrible news, and the
greatest sympathy was expressed on
all sides for the bereaved parents.
Little Sheilla, though only one year
old was unusually alert, of wonderful
disposition and loved by all who knew
her, being the idol or her parents
hearts. 1t seems that sometime during
the day the little one was left alone
upstairs by the mother, and in some
manner it is supposed that. little Mary,
the four-year old sister, in trying to
amuse the baby, handed her little
bottle containing small belladonna tab
lets her mother was taking for a cold.
In some manner the infant swallowed
about fifty of the tablets, it is said,
and later was in the yard when the
drug, very powerful on the eye mus
cles, began to be asSimilated, and
caused a strange look out of her baby
eyes which was noticed by the mother,
and she hastily summoned her hus-
band, and the latter in turn hurried
the child to the Hudson hospital. But
the treatment was of no avail and the
dear little heart passed away. The
funeral took place early this week.

PAL|SADE Chill DREN IN BASEMENT
OF PUBLIC SCHOOL, BUT ON PART
Time TILL ROOM CAN Be PROVIDED

The situation in the Palisade public
school has grown into such unusual
Importance that several meetings have
taken place lately between the parents
of grades one and two and the Board
of Education. Last year the school
attendance was about 100 This year
it has grown to 1S9, nearly 100 per
cent. Recently it became necessary to
place these two grades in the base
ment, at which the parents registered
a protest, claiming that it was I'M
sanitary to allow children to sit in
the basement of school building all
day. After conference between the
parents of these Palsade grades and
the Board of Education at the White
man street school, Fort Lee, it was de-
cided to hold another meeting, which
was called to order in Palisade, Thurs
day night of this week. Superintend-
ent Chase and J. C. Abbott, Jr, were
present, and after an amicable con-
ference it was decided to place the
children in a class room upstairs,
each grade on part time-that is-No.

No. two to take two weeks throughout
the term, or until better provision can
be made. Superintendent Chase feels
the necessity of the Palisade school
having a large sized addition, as he
does the necessity of a high school
building. He win do all in his power
to get both The big thing in the
way, of course, is the tax question.
The borough is now taxed to the ut
most, and the burGen is greater than
many people can stand. In speaking
of the matter this week, Robert Carl
ton, of Anderson avenue, said:
"We are very greatly upset at the
| idea Of having onr children placed in
| the basement, but the Board of Edu-
! esfien has acted yerSy nicely about
| the matter, and We can only be salts
fed until such time as we can get bet
ter facilities In fact, we have got to
have larger school, that's all, and
every parent in Palisade knows it,"

Cliffside Board
Has Meeting

SO many were present at the meet
ing of the Board of Education on Mon
day evening that the meeting was
held in class room.
Not much business was transacted
but the breach between Korsinek and
the other members seems to have
Widened.
The main business of the evening
was the adopting of rules and regula,
lions. There was only one change
made. This was of the meeting night
which was changed from Friday to
Thursday evenings.
On all votings, Korsinek answered
present.
When the discussion of hiring a
lawyer came up it was referred to a
committee of five appointed by Mr.
Goermann.
Mr.. Bohm gave a statement saying
that Mr.. Mahoney, president of the
Rent Payers and Taxpayers Associa
ton, said he was sorry he could not
be present at the meeting to thanli
the members of the board for having
the audit made and he was very mucl
pleased and satisfied with it, but he
said the action of Korsinek were OBJ

Englewood Favors
Pontoon Bridge

Mayor David McKenna of Engle-
wood Thursday morning transmitted to
the Office of Colonel Burr, engineer in
charge of government construction for
the U. S. Army in New York district,
a letter recommending the erection of
a pontoon bridge across the Hudson
River from Yonkers to Alpine.
The mayor pointed out forcibly that
some other means of egress and en-
trance to and from New York at about
the point mentioned is needed, and
needed at once to relieve congestion.
He pointed out that the present ferry
at the foot of Englewood Cliffs was
inadequate to deal with the situation,
and that a bridge and not ferry is
the only means of coping with the
vehicular traffic across the river.
The mayors letter was the result of
a resolution adopted by the common
council at its last meeting recommend
ing to the government officials that the
bridge be built and pointing out the
many advantages to be gained by the
two states by the erection of such a
bridge.-Record.

Boy Who Robbed
McClaves Caught

When Steve McClave returned to
the McClave home in Edgewater
Heights on last Saturday he found
things out of their usual placings.
: He Immediately summoned Captain
Frank BorreH of the local police
After looking over many articles it
was found that two suits of clothes
and a double barrel shotgun had been
stolen.
Several false clues were left but un-
needed. A boys blue hat was found
and this led to the arrest of Frank
Gagliostro, a paper boy of Lincoln ave-
nue..
Upon his capture, the lad was taken
to the McClave home where he was
given dozen misplaced articles which
he placed in their proper places.
Investigating the woods nearby, the
shotgun was found, but the boy could
not tell what he did with the suits.
In his confession the boy claims that
nobody else was implicated, but condi-
lions indicate that more than one dill
the job. While the newsboy was
quizzed he gave some evidence of be-

Yurillo Fireworks
Gets Gold Medal

Emil YurillO, of the Hudson Fire
works Company fame, of Grantwood,
has again scored a victory in COM
petition, this time over at Berwick,
Pa, Saturday night, August 20. The
other contestant was Davite Calvano,
who claimed that in three other pre-
vious fireworks competitions, with
Yurillo he had won first honors. Ac-
cording to Yurillo this statement made
in the local paper at Berwick, The
Enterprise, is not true. He said this
week in speaking of the matter:
Il do not care for the incident a
great DEAL but it was not fair for Cal
vanO to say he had beaten me three
times when we had never met before
works competition, so his display of
medals he said he had won at my
expense was an audacious claim, and
one that no honest man would make.
CalvanO had the advantage of starting
first with his display at Berwick, but
the committee decided in my favor
without the slightest argument I have
never set off a more brilliant display,
and was proud of my efforts What
the Berwick paper said was all true,
except the published claim that Cal
vano had beaten me three times He
has met me once and l beat him. This
is the real merit of the story My
fireworks speak for themselves. Ask
anybody in Palisade or other nearby
localities that have seen my displays
The sincerity of my efforts always
speak for ITSELF"
Yurillo got $50 prize and gold
medal at Berwick for beating Cal.
vano in the competition.

Look Out, Ladies!
Jury Duty Serious

Sheriff Joseph Kinzley and Jesse V.
gen county, have been having their
troubles just now over the summOning
of women to act as petit jurors at the
opening of court this week, says the
Record
Monday morning in looking over the
mail Sheriff Kinzley found number
of letters from the prospective jury
women offering excuses and reasons
why they could not be on hand on the
date announced.
One announced that she was going to
move and couldn't be bothered just
now. Another was in upper New York
state on her vacation, which she did
not want interrupted. Still another
could not change her plans and would
therefore be unable to serve for the
present, and still another had secured
a position and would likely lose it il
she served.
These women and others may learn
before they are through that it is not
up to them to say whether they are
ready to appear on the day the sum-
mons calls for. This matter is entirely
in the hands of the court, and it is for
the presiding judge to say whether
they shall be excused
Failure to appear may mean that an
officer will he sent with warrant to
arrest the absentees, who are subject
to a fine of at least $3.50.
