9-YEAR-OLD BOY SAVES HIS MOTHER
FROM SUICIDE when SHE THROWS
HERSELF IN FRONT OF TROLLEY CAR
Remarkable Act of Little Fellow Who Failed to Get Re-
sponse From Mother Seeking Death After Husband
Resumes Drink Habit-Latter Alleged Have
Slapped Wife's Face at Scene of Suicide Attempt in
His Rage.

The quick wit of nine-year-old
youngster saved his mother, Mrs.
John Boyles of Corona, L. l., from a
horrible death when she attempted to
commit suicide by deliberately fling
ing herself on the car track in front
of a speeding car in Grantwood near
Franklin avenue last Sunday night.
The Boyles had been visiting for
several days with Mr.. and Mrs. James
Kane of Franklin avenue, and in the
evening Mrs. Boyfes, together with
her two children, little girl of five
and boy of nine, and Miss Mary Law
of Palisades Park were out walking.
Mrs. Boyles was very despondent over
the fact that her husband had started
to drink again after aSperiod of total
abstainance for nearly year.
While walking along the car track
en- route to the Kane home she evil
IDENTIFY decided to end it all and fell
upon the tracks with a car but a short
distance away. Her daughter and
companion were too terrified to do
anything but scream. However, John
junior, her son, tugged at her body,
crying: "Mother MotherI' Seeing
that she would not move, he ran up
the track and, waving his little arms
frantically. signaled the motorman to
stop. The brakes were quickly ap-
piled and the sqqeaking car came to
a stop only few feet from the pros
trate body.
1t is reported that the husband ap-
peared on the scene under the infiu-
ence of liquor and was enraged at his
wife's behavior, so much so that
when her body was lifted from the
tracks he slapped her in the face.
Someone 'phoned for the police,
and Captain Borrell and John McEvoy
responded and arrested the woman on
the charge of attempted suicide.
She was taken to the Hackensack
Hospital for observation and released
the following day after the county
physician pronounced her sane.

WATER FAMINE HERE,
SOME FACTORIES CLOSE
FreehoIders Discuss Problem;
Boats Come With Water =
to Sell.
The water famine is here.

Inc water famine is here.
Without rain within the next few
days the water company will have to
go step further than simply lower
ing the pressure, but the water will
be cut off entirely for a few hours
each day.
Some industries have already closed
down, and if no relief is obtained
many more will be forced to close in
day or two.
The granting of permission by the
FIT. Lee Mayor and Council to the
motion picture companies to use the
water of Crystal lake will keep this
important industry going.
1t is reported that many boats with
water to sell have. come across the
river from New York offering a supply
to the Edgewater factories.
At regular meeting of the Bergen
County Board of Chosen Freeholders
held on October II, 1928, a statement
by the director of the board, unani-
mously approved by the full board and
endorsed by prominent men of the
county, was read:
The Board of Freeholders is charged
with the responsibility of county man
agement. It's duty is to meet not only
present day demands but also to plan
for future requirements.
We must face now our most impor-
tant problem. Bergen cLunty, with
its great future promise, has made no
provision to cope with it's greatest
need. We have no adequate water
supply for our communities.
On all sides we hear expressions of
anxiety as a result of the report from
superintendent French, of the Hacken-
sack Water Company, that even pri-
vate homes may be shut off if relief
does not come within the next two
weeks. Industry is being threatened,
constructive work may be stopped,
and thousands be out of employment
as we'll as in danger and possible dis
tress. That is alarming.
Rain is promised and temporary re-
lief may come soon but what of the
future? We must bend our best ener-
gies and thought to safeguard a pota-
Bile water supply for our people suffi-
cient to anticipate the great demand
that will come and we must properly
prepare for it.
Bergen county cannot grow if our
water supply is hazard, depending
entirely on an accommodating nature
Industry will not come if it faces the
frequent possibility of a short water
supply There can be no great induce
ment to home seekers if there is ad-
vertised doubt along such vital lines.
The BayOnne project may have been
a start but that is lost legal history.
There are no cities in Bergen large
enough to undertake the financing of
such a project. But | confidently be-
lieve our legislators and the State
Board of Conservation and Develop
ment, with the cooperation of this
board and all our municipalities, could
work out a comprehensive plan which
would make possible the security of
the Ramapo water shed, with its great
promise of stored water within Bergen
county for Bergen county.
My sincere hope is that this may
be done before it is too late. AS the
director, | ask for the aid of my col
operation of all our municipalities.

COOLIDGE IS TOLD
PLIGHT Of FARMERS
Conditions Among Wheat
Growers and Aid Measures
! Detailed by Mr.. Capper.

Senator Capper of Kansas chan
man of the farm bloc, today as
Gussed with President Coolidge the
plight Of the wheat farmers OF tne
country. On leaving the Whlte
House he said that he had found the
President heartily in sympathy win
the farmer and that he was intent
upon some means of aiding the farm
er along practical lines
Senator Capper pointed out that
the wheat farmer of Kansas not long
ago was receiving s2.26 a bushel for
his wheat, The freight rate from
Kansas to Chicago was II cents. To-
day the farmer is receiving 80 TO 9O
cents a bushel and the freight rate
is % cents.
In the opinion of Senator Capper the
farmer should be relieved of some Of
this burden of high freight rates.
The transportation problem, he said,
would be given particular attention
at the next sessions of Congress. The
railroads are doing more business to-
day and rates should be shaved down.
Senator Capper smiled when his at
tention was called to the suggestion
made last week by former Repre-
sentative Campbell of Kansas to the
effect that Senator Capper should be
the vice presidential nominee with
President Coolidge on the republican
ticket next year. He said he is can
didate for reelection to the Senate,
and has no idea of being a candidate
FOR any other office.

cheering persons packed themselves
into 11th street at Pennsylvania

New York described to them, blow
for blow, as it was received over
wires running direct from the ring
side into The Star office.
The crowd that actually saw Jack
Dempsey successfully defend his
title against Luis Angel Firpo may
have been much larger, but it could
scarcely have been more enthusiastic
than the one that stood for hours be-
fore The Star Office, waiting to re-
ceive news of the bout that was to
decide the heavyweight champion
ship of the world.
Long before the first preliminary
Washingtonians began to gather and
Snatched the choice curbStone places.
By $3.50 o'clock moro than 5000 per-
sons were grouped in front of The
Star office, patiently waiting for the
man with the megaphone to announce
that the champion and his challenger
had entered the ring. At 8 o'clock
the throng stretched clear around
into Pennsylvania avenue and almost
up to Z street.
Cheer FfrpO Announcement.
Impatient cries came thick and fast
from the crowd during the last few
minutes while 1t was waiting for the
formal introductions and announce
ments in the ring at the Polo Grounds
to be completed. Then came word
that Firpo had climbed through the
ropes. He was given a rousing cheer.
But a moment later the din was over
whelming when the megaphone man
said that Jack Dempsey had entered
the squared circle.
That the crowd was almost solidly
with Jack was plainly evident when,
a few minutes after the battle started,
the announcer told the crowd the
American had fioored the Argentinian.
AS he related how Dempsey had
knocked Firpo off his feet three more
times the cheering bordered on frenzy.
But the next moment the cheers were
turned to groans of apprehension
when the announcer said Jack had
been knocked clear through the ropes
and a sigh of relief greeted the end
of the round.

the history of the ring. The vast
audience of listeners-in that had it's
ears glued to headphones or before
loud speakers had only one complaint
TO register the fight was too brief
but Dempseys powerful pile driving
hands, and not WCAP, are to blame
for the brevity of the great battle.
Radio parties were numerous

With little expanding of the imag-
inatton Washington's radio audience
could boast of ringside seat, so pic
turesque and thrilling was the de-
scription of the battle that Mai An
drew White sent out from theNarena
The cheers which greeted Dempsey
and Firpo as they took their respec-
tive corners, the ringing of the gong
the counting of the referee when
the fighters went down was realistic
and placed before the listeners-in a
mental picture of the ringSide the
great throng of spectators, and the
fighters in action.
When Firpo'S pugiliStic aspirations
were punctured in the second round
the radio audience knew it instantly.
They did not wait to hear Maj. White
add that Dempsey is still champion
of the world" but burst into cheers
as soon as they heard the referee
count the Argentine challenger out
One of the largest radio parties
was staged by the telephone company
for members of the Deadltne Club of
Washington newspaper men and their
friends. In a room on the top floor
of the Strayer building, adjoining
the company's headquarters on 13th

their friends gathered to hear the re-
turns as they came over a powerful
receiving set. After the fight the
company served buffet luncheon
to its guests. Stuart Hayes, divis-
ional director of information of the
company, arranged the party for the
newspaper men and acted as host.
Another large radio party was held
in the National Guard armory, where
more than 500 national guardsmen
and their friends listened-in on the
fight returns. The entertainment was
made possible through the courtesy
and cooperation of Robert Chisolm,
manager of the radio department of
the Hecht Company After all ar
rangementS had been made to receive
the returns, the receiving set would
not function, and a hurry call was
sent to the Hecht Company, which
rushed one of its sets to the armory.
The telephone company also staged
radio party in the Sylvan Theater,
especially for automobilists. Radio
supply stores also had large crowds
of fight enthusiasts in front of their
establishments 1istening-in to the re-
turns.
