Palisade Boy at Play
Breaks Thigh Bone

Ernest Gringras, the eight year old
son of Mrs. A. Gringras of Abbott
boulevard, lies in the Englewood Hos
pital suffering with a broken leg
which is the result OF fall he ex-
perienced while playing with some
school chums during the noon recess
on Monday last.
Some of his young chums say it
was this or that boys fault but it
seems unfair to place the blame on
any of the youngsters in particular for
the accident was just one of those un-
fortunate things that happen when
boys become little boisterous in their
games.
DR.. Scott attended the little fellow
and reports that the leg Is broken in
one place between the thigh and the
knee. 1t will be just case of patient
waiting for the bone to knit and Ern-
est will be up and out again. He is
a popular boy and everyone regrets
the misfortune and sympathizes with
his mother who like all good mothers
suffers with her children.

Mackay Has Bill For
Bergen Co. Tube

Hackensack, Dec. IA bill to
pave the way for a proposed vehicu-
lar tunnel between Bergen county and
One Hundred and Twenty street,
New York, will be presented to the
New Jersey Legislature early next
month by Senator Mackay. The tube
would link Harlem with point some
where near Palisades Park or Leonia.
The enterprise, unlike the one now
under way between Jersey City and
Canal street, Manhattan, would not
be a state undertaking but backed
by private capital. All that is re-
quired by the hackers is the permis-
sion of the two states to start opera
tions. State Senator-elect Duncan T
O'Brien, of New York, is working in
the interests of the venture in New

Supt. Nelson Tells
Of Snow in Summer

The monthly meeting of the Helping
Hand Society of the Orphans Home
held at the home on Tuesday after
noon was an interesting one, in it's
pleasant anticipations of Christmas,
some donations, already arriving,
in it's encouraging reports from the
November musicale, and it's closing
with an interesting talk by Superin-
tendent Nelson about his summer va
cation in Norway and Sweden, the
first he and his wife have enjoyed for
fifteen years.
Besides the financial results of over
eighty dollars by the musicale, over a
dozen new members for the society
were gained, voluntarily joining
through the interest aroused by a
personal visit in this Home.
Much mending was accomplished in
the Tuesday meeting, by the repre-
sentatives present from LeOnia, Edge
water, Palisade, Fort Lee and Cliffside
Park and Fairview, some of the chill
dren came in and sang sweetly, and
gave opportunity for social period.
At the request of the president, the
superintendent gave his talk and told
of the trip across the ocean in terribly
hot weather, then of arrival in Nor
way, amid the snow and ice and the
trip on the railroad among winter
conditions, of the midnight sum- etc;
of visits among relatives and other ex-
periences.
The trip on the battlefelds was
abandoned because of the extra ex-
pense involved for passes, but a prof
liable time was spent in England, and
two of the sights described were the
Muller Home and the Barnado Home
for children maintained by faith and
voluntary contributions.
The arrival home was delayed some
six hours by a group of belligerent
immigrants on the steamer, and in the
meantime the seventy-five children at
the home were eagerly waiting and
watching for Father and Mother Mel
son and finally had to go to bed very
late and disappointed, but the next
morning atoned for it. Several new
children have been recently taken into
the home. How many will help to
make Christmas a happy one for these
little ones? Donations of clothing,
material for dresses, food or anything
for them will be gratefully received.

Apparently the writer's had an axe to

Walter Fisher Held
For Schluter Murder

Within few hours after the dis
'covery of the dead body of Henry
Schluter on the floor of his Ford Sc
dan abandoned in lonely spot on
Anderson avenue on Friday, December
S, the county authorities obtained a
confession of the killing from Walter
Fisher, garage owner in Leona,
whose knee was injured by the same
bullet that crashed through Schulter's
brain. He claimed the shooting was
accidental
Three men are being held in con.
nection with the crime, Walter Fisher,
who is charged with murder; his
brother. George Fisher as material
witness and George Knapp, who drove
the car to the spot where it was aban-
doned, as an accessory.
Combining the stories of the three
men which are substantially the same
the events preceding and following the
shooting were as follows:
Schluter left his own garage at 8
O'Clock on Thursday night, December
Z, to complete a deal for the purchase
of Fishers garage. When he arrived
at Fishers the four men mentioned
consumed the contents of a quart bot
tie of whisky and Schluter slightly
overcome by the effects, flung himself
upon a couch while Fisher sat beside
matte which was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet passing through
Schluter's head which rested on Fish
er's lap and into the knee of Fisher.
Knapp says he then put Schluter
in the sedan intending to drive him
to the North Hudson Hospital but
after finding he was dead became ter
ror stricken and abandoned the car
in the spot where it was found and
returned to the garage to aid Fisher
whom he helped to his home on Sec
ond street in Palisade Park. Fisher
was later taken under guard to the
Englewood Hospital.
1t is generally conceded that the
shooting was accidental and the fol-
lowing statement is credited to Prose-
cutor Hart: 81 have no doubt but
that the shooting took place as dis
closed in the confession made to my
men. I am holding Henry and George
Fisher and also George Knapp as
principals" AS is often the case
whisky was the real murderer.
The funeral services of Schulter
were held last Sunday evening in the
Masonic Temple at Palisades Park,
and were conducted by Rev. J. c.
Kretzmann, pastor of the Grace Evan
gelical Lutheran Church. Schluter be-
.1onged to a number of organizations
including the Masons, the Republican
County Committee, the firemen of
Palisades Park and the Townley lodge,
F. & A. M, all of which were repre-
sented by delegations. Hosts of
friends were present likewise.
