Siegrist Says
He Has No Coal

To the Editor of the Palisadian, Pali-
sade, N. ].
Dear Sir-Now that election is over
and won, | had a feeling of relief
thinking that my name would fall into
oblivion, for time at least; but to
my surprise column of the Palsadi-
an seems to be insistent upon ha-
RAISING public officers, myself one of
them. This time | am accused O. hav-
ing in my cellar ten tons of coal,
REAL coal l presume is meant.
If harmony, as talked about in your
p. e. Pull column is instrumental of
producing ten tons of coal, | am not
surprised that others were anxious to
join in the chorus. p E. Pull must
be fishing among coal dealers or their
drivers to evolve this type of fish
story. Undoubtedly he could get away
with it were it not that everyone Is
clamoring for the same commodity.
In the same issue the Palisadian
makes mention of the appointment of
a coal Committee. How about an in
vestigation by this Committee? They
are not all harmony candidates.
An jnsinuation of this kind is un-
called for, and | wish to deny en-
phatically that | have received coal
of any kind.
Very truly yours,
G. S. SIEGRIST.

Insolent Negro
Hits Conductor

On Friday evening of last week.
about 4:45. when the Englewood
car westbound reached Palisade
Junction, the conductor turned the
crank handle that opens the rear
platform door The corner OF the
door happened to strike big, black
fat negro slightly on the leg, and he
at once bawled out the conductor
why did you hit me like that?'
he savagely asked the conductor
The remark being ignored, the negro
hauled off and smashed the conductor
one in the face with his fist The
negro, having finished his job, took
position in the outside Cor inside) cor
ner of the car platform, where he
sullenly awaited the return of the
conductor, who went out and called
Fort Lee Police Headquarters. No
one who was present, at the time,
who witnessed the occurrence volun-
teered to prefer charges. When the
police auto came, which 1t did in
about five minutes, Officer Schlupp
had no difficulty in getting his man,
who, while he resisted mildly and
tried to shift the blame on the con.
ductor, was given quick ride to
Fort Lee on the runabout Lizzie, OF.
ficer Schlupp standing on the running
board to watch his quarry. The negro
complained that 1t was mot Justice
to arrest him, claiming that the con
ductor had struck him, which wasn't
so. The negro was allowed his liberty
on depositing S25, and at hearing
Saturday night last he was fined $25
and costs.
The conductor was Andrew Nc
Poeck, of Newark. The negro gave
his name as Charles r. Bamfield, IL
West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth
street, New York City. His ideas of
Justice" have probably had backset.

which netted 3S persons, including
the two alleged proprietors.
For some time the place had been
frequented by number OF strangers
who came over from New York city
in the afternoon and remained there
several hours. This unusual spectacle
caused some of the residents in the
neighborhood to become suspicious
that everything there was not alto
gether right. These suspicious were
finally whispered at the Office of Prose
cutor Hart and plans were laid to
conduct an investigation.
Assistant Prosecutor Charles j. Nc.

4.30 Tuesday afternoon to look over

defeated the Grantwood A. c. at bas-
ketball, 80 to IS, at the high school
gymnasium on Wednesday evening.
The game was fast and interesting.

ority from the start In the first few
minutes of play they jumped into the
lead and they never relinquished it.
At half-time the score read 1879
Both teams played an especially
fast game, considering that it was

ment which will come as the season
progresses, these teams should reg.
lister many victories before the season

Gil in Schlosser's Hall, Fort Lee, on

brought into the limelight, namely,
the coal situation and Palisade ave-
nue..

Bad Grantw'd Fire
Wednesday Mor'g

A serious fire menaced the lives of
eight families on Anderson avenue in
Grantwood on Wednesday morning.
Splendid work by the Grantwood and
Cliffside fire departments saved five
story apartment house and two
family dwelling within ten feet of the
ravaging flames of a burning work
shop. The shop was owned and oper-
ated by August Deichman to make
oxy-acetylerie repairs and all it's con-
tents were totally destroyed.
The fire was discovered by Charles
Glynn. He saw a. blaze shoot up in
the rear yard of the shop. He alarm
ed the tenants and one of them, Mrs.
H. Werner, phoned to fire headquar
ters.
Both companies responded in quick
time. Several streams of hose were
soon playing on the fire. The flames
that enveloped the shop were large
and a high easterly wind blowing
soon scorched the nearby buildings.
1t was with their. fine work at this
crucial time that the fire fighters
saved adjacent buildings.
Those living in the five and two
family houses were forced out. They
fed into the cold in their night
clothes. Neighbors took them in care
until the danger was past.
The local firemen were the recipi-
ents of many congratulations for their
good and efficient work. The saving
of the Deichman apartment house was
a grand accomplishment

LATE REFLECTION BY ", CRANTWOOD
ASSNOVER WOLF ELEC'N AFFIDAVIT
December 5, 1922.

December 5, 1922.
Editor, Palisadian:
In view of the prominence given to
the West Grantwood Taxpayers AS
sociation during the few days preced-
ing and on election day, November 7.
1922, due to the distribution through
out the borough of Cliffside Park of
an affidavit signed by Charles Wolf,
the then secreary Of the association,
which affidavit denied his knowledge
and signing of a certain letter issued
by the association, and in order to
correct the erroneous impression re-
garding the associations position In
the matter which the affidavit un-
doubtedly set up in the minds of
many Of the citizens of the borough,
the undersigned, members of the ex-
ecutive committee, desire to place the
following facts before the public on
behalf of the association:
/. The letter of the association
referred to was issued by order of
the majority of the executive COM
mittee, for two reasons: First, that
linking the associations name with
any particular candidates name car
ried an implied endorsement of the
candidate by the association, and in
violation of its bylaws. Second, the
particular claims made by the candi-
date were not according to facts, and
the members of the association feel
that in justice to the officers who,
without other reward, have done the
work which the candidate claimed
credit for, 1t was unfair to allow him
to masquerade In false role.
2. The letter stated fairly the po-
sition of the candidate in association
activities.
3. The letter was issued in due
legal form and bore the then secre-
tary's name through authority vested
by him in the president.
A. We have been repeatedly in
fomed by Mr.. Wolf that the affidavit
signed later by him and distributed
broadcast in the borough was OBJ
tanned from him on the following
representations severally made to
him by Messrs. Kenny and Dietrich:
