Revised Highway
Map Ready Now

Announcement has been made by
the State Department of Conservation
and Development that the official
State Highway Map, revision of 1928,
is now ready for distribution. This
map, which has attained great popu-
larity with motorists and other users
of New Jersey roads because of it's
great accuracy and clearness, shows
every highway in the State with it's
condition as of July 1, 1928.
The map is of large size, 25 by As
inches, which gives it scale of about
four miles to the inch and permits
great detail. By folding in quarters,
the map is easily reduced to handy
size.
A comparison of the new map with
the 1922 edition shows the very con-
siderable extent to which concrete
and bituminous highways have re-
placed the less durable types of pave
ment in the past year both on the
State Highway System and on roads
under the jurisdiction of other
agencies.
Copies of the new map may be OBJ
tanned from the State Department of
Conservation and Development, State
Office building, Trenton, for 25 cents.

D|S0RDERLY HOUSE IN
CL|FFS|DE RA|DED AGAIN
Proprietor and Five Young Men
Held on Serious Charges; Girl
Forced to Enter Resort.

The resort of Antonio Auriemma
on Walker street, in Cliffside, was
raided by Patrolmen John Bruley and
Harold Jacobs last Sunday night and
the proprietor and five young men
placed under arrest.
Bruley arrested Auriemma last
week on the charge of keeping a dis
orderly house, but he was discharged
because of lack of evidence
Late Sunday evening Bruley was
near Auriemma's cafe when he no.
ticed several young men forcing a
girl to enter the place. He went to
the back of the building and saw what
was taking place, SO called upon Of
ficer Jacobs and raided the place.
The young men arrested were Mich
olas Rizzi, twenty years old, of Fair
view; John Festo, twenty-five years
old, of Cliff street, Cliffside; Ed De
Luca, twenty-five years old, of Fair
view, and A. Colagrico of Lincoln
avenue, Grantwood. The proprietor
was held under $1,000 bail, charged
with the keeping of disorderly
house, and the young men were sent
to Hackensack with very serious
charge against them, and were held
under $4,000 bail each.
The girl, Katherine Sullivan, aged
eighteen, of Englewood, was in Pali-
sades Amusement Park when Cola
grico asked her to go for a ride. She
accepted, according to her story, upon
the promise that he would take her
home at 10:30 p. m. They picked up
several of the other young men in a
short tour about the borough and
Fort Lee and ended the trip in the
Cliffside section, where, on a side
street, a bottle of wine was consumed
Driving up in front of Auriemma' S,
the girl was asked to go in and have
soda, and the invitation was pressed
by the five men. She refused, but
was forced to enter the place, and the
other details of the story are not fit
for publication.

Pub. Ser. Employees
To Get Six Day Week

New working conditions are being
voluntarily put into effect by Public
Service Electric Company and Public
Service Gas Company, which will re-
suit in the substitution of six-day
week for the seven-day week which
has heretofore prevailed in these two
industries. Several thousand men
will be favorably affected, as the re-
adjustment will involve no reduction
in their wages.
Ever since the inception of the gas
and electric businesses in this State
it has been the practice for men in
the electric power station and cleo
trio sub-stations, and also in the gas
making plants, to work on the seven
day week basis. For many years the
plants were manned with two sets of
employees on twelve-hour shifts, but
Public Service discarded the twelve
hour day a long time ago and substi-
tuted three shifts of eight hours each.
Now the seven-day week is going by
the board and additional help will be
enSd6eu W oohllhue lHe eiSht-hpuA
day and give every man one day of in
seven.
The employees of the electric dis
tribution department, except sub-sta-
tion operators, have always been on a
six-day basis, and the same is true OF
the gasfitters and other employees of
the gas company's distribution de-
partment 1t is expected that all en-
ployees will be on the siX-day basis
before the end of the month.

JERSEY CITY PORTIA
TO Defend PRISONER
Miss Hogan First New Jersey
Woman In ROIe-SeekS Free
dom for EzaI Robertson.

A slender wisp of girl stands be-
tween Ezal Robertson and death.
Robertson is in the Bergen county
jail at Hackensack charged with MUIR
der. A felon's death leers at him con-
stantly through the cell bars.
Anna B. Hogan-the girls in her
law office in Jersey City. And death
the death of her client-also leers
at her.
But she answers the leer with a
smile as she prepares the defense
which she is confident will free her
client when the case comes to trial.
The fresh bloom of twenty-five sum-
mers is in her cheek in striking con-
trast to the musty old volumes which
she thumbs diligently in her prepara-
tions to rout the states attorneys.
1t is probably the first time in the
history of the state that a woman at
torney-and one so young-has step
ped into the limelight as defense
counsel in a murder trial. But that
fact doesn't worry Miss Hogan.
She will be pitted against veterans
of the bar, this girl, who though she
has won numerous cases has never
before borne upon her shapely but
slender shoulders the responsibilities
of defending a man on trial for his
life.
She is confident of the outcome. So
is Robertson.
Time alone will tell if this modern
Portia will be as successful as Shake
speare's famous heroine.-Hudson

MARINI ENDORSED BY FORMER
SMITH FORCES AT MEETING WE'D.
NIGHT; KENNY men CONFIDENT
G. Siegrist and John Macdonald Favored for Council
Nomination at Meeting; Excitement Great Primary
Day Draws Near; Aikens and Lawlor Other Candi-
dates for Council Board.

The most important political move
of the week was an Endorsement of
Joseph Marini for the Republican nom-
ination for mayor of Cliffside Park by
the former Smith forces at the home
of H. L. Post on Columbia avenue last
Wednesday night.
A large number of representative
citizens which included both Republi-
cans and Democrats were present and
after a lengthy discussion of the two
candidates seeking the Republican
nomination Marini was endorsed with
out one dissenting vote.
Mr.. Kenny and Mr. Marini were con-
sidered as to their capability to fill the
office and from a standpoint of past
service to the borough, and Marini
was considered the best of the two
men by the group at this meeting.
On the other hand, Mr.. Kenny is the
favorite with great many citizens
and has a good sized organization who
are making every effort to elect him
as the next mayor, chief among which
is the Town Club.
1t is rumored that if Marini is de-
feated in the primaries he will be Of
fered the Democratic nomination; but
just at present the primary contest is
the all important event.
OF four Republican candidates for
councilmen two will be left behind
after the primary election. Which two
will it be? The people through their
vote will decide.
The contenders for the nomination
are G. Siegrist, Mr.. Aiken, John Mac
Donald and John Lawlor 1t is no
secret that the Post faction are sup
porting G. Siegrist and John MacDon-
aid.
H. l.. Post will have no opposition
at the primary due to the withdrawal
of c. M. Stein, who will run in the
General Election as an Independent
The Democrats have full ticket ex-
cept for the office of mayor, which was
left vacant by the withdrawal OF ].
Whelan, and there is no opposing can
didate.
At meeting of the Cliffside Repub-
lican club held on Wednesday night
the members unanimously endorsed
Ed. A. Kenny for the Republican nomi-
nation as mayor

new ELECTION FOR
SCHOOL MAY Be HELD
0vercroWded Condition Serious;
To Discuss AdvisabiIity of New
Election at Meeting.

The Board of Education of Cliffside
Park met last evening and discussed
at length a number of things that are
vital to the interests of the tax payers
of the borough.
The early part of the meeting was
taken up by long but splendid re-
port from the Supervising Principal,
Mr.. Hall, giving complete information
relative to the present conditions of
the various schools. The report was
neatly mimeographed and all present
received one.
The congested conditions of the
schools was the all-important subject
discussed and the only solution SEEM
ed to be putting the pupils in the
lower grades on part time. Mr.. Harry
Lucht, who was present at the meet
ing, suggested that it might be good
Idea to have the high school pupils
put ON part time rather than the
grade students, but Mr.. Hall, in re-
ply stated that it was far easier and
conceded to be so by the leading edu-
Gators to arrange part time schedules
for the grades than for the high
schools.
Mr. Velsey. president of the board,
suggested that in case of extreme
emergency it might be possible to
erect what is known as portable
school buildings which could be pur-
chased at a comparatively low price
and erected in a short time. The sug-
gestion was not enthusiastically re-
ceived by the other members and sew
eral spoke against the plan.
This discussion most naturally led
to a discussion of the writ which has
prevented the board from carrying
out their building program in Hudson
stated that he intended to take deposi-
tions this coming week and the case
would go into open court in Novem-
Der and decision would be handed
down not later than next February.
Mr.. Everett asked whether or not it
was advisable for the board to rescind
the former election and call a new
one to expedite matters and made a
motion that the same be done. The
motion was lost as no one would sec
ond it and after discussion it was
voted to hold an adjourned meeting
for the purpose of discussing the ad-
visibility of so doing.
Mr.. Dietrich read the financial re-
port and commented on the same,
stating that it was a good report and
the first of its kind presented to the
board; he also stated that it should
be published which all agreed was
proper.
Other matters relative to the pro-
lection of school children from the
possibility of traffic fatalities, the ap-
pointment of new teachers and the
like, was taken up during the course
of the meeting.

MON. NIGHTS MEETING
SHORT AND SNAPPY
Over at 9.45 P. NJ; Cops Ask for
Raise; Little Fun About Houses
That Don't Exist.

The most important thing about the
meeting of the Mayor and Council of
Cliffside Park on last Monday night
was that it ended in record time,
about 9:15 p. m.
The meeting started with the regu-
lar routine of the reading of the min
utes, followed by communications,
one from the Fire Chief announcing
that the annual drill would take place
on September 29.
A letter signed by all of the Cliff
side patrolmen asked for an increase
in pay. The matter was referred to
the Police Committee to report.
After several unimportant COM
munications were read the claims
suggested that steps be taken imme-
diately to secure fuel for the fire
houses. The suggestion was passed
on to the Building and Grounds Com
mittee.
Councilman Meyer reported appli-
$50 worth of proposed buildings. The
permits were granted.
Attorney Agnew reported that the
legal papers on the Cliff street curb
and gutter improvement were ready.
The clerk was told to have repre-.
sentative of McClave & McClave pres
ent at the next meeting to give an
approximate figure on the entire cost
of the job, including grading.
Mayor Cadien objected to the pas
sage of two resolutions. which did
away with assessments on houses
that the resolutions stated did not
exist. He asked: Where are these
houses located that don't exist?"
Everybody gave up the answer, SO he
suggested they have the recommen-
dation of the assessor and collector
before taking action. Twas agreed
it was quite the proper thing to do,
so the resolutions were laid over
Thus ended the meeting.

Fort Lee Schools
Much OvercrOWded

The most important thing that
came up before the Board of Educa-
tion in Fort Lee when they met on
last Monday night was the report of
the Supervising Principal, A. l..
Chase, showing the crowded condi-
tions that at present exist in the
schools of the borough. He reported
a total enrolment to date of 1,252 pu-
pills. The matter of relieving the con-
gestion was considered so important
that a special meeting will be held
next Monday night to discuss ways
and means of relief.
Principal Chase reported the resig-
nation of four teachers from the bor-
ough school, as follows: Miss Aery
Miss Nevard, Miss Baker and Mrs
Coleman. Mr.. Chase recomm ended
the appointment of Mrs. Schurich
Mrs. Thompson and Miss Wikander,
to fill three of the vacancies, which
recommendation was approved.

Legal Action Taken by Both
Sides but Service Not
Resumed.

The Public Service strike remains
unsettled. There was hearing on
Wednesday at Trenton in the Chan
Gerry Court, at which the State and
the company both had legal talent in
a hard fight all day. The Attorney
General was severe on the Public
| Service, and the legal representative
of the Public Service did not hesitate
to say that the Public Utilities had
Public Service lawyer, Mr.. Bergen,
was so plain that the judge asked him
if he meant to be as blunt as his Ian
guage indicated, and he got the yes
answer. Mr.. Bergen, for the COM
pany, repeated what he had said,
which was the statement that Public
Utilities position was IAN unlawful
and offensive attitude" The Chan
cellor asked Mr.. Bergen: do you
think it is proper to castigate pub
lie body in writ of this kind?" Mr..
Bergen reiterated: unfortunately
the charges are true"
Lawyers who were present on be-
half of the company were two former
attorney generals, Robert II. McCar-
ter and his brother, Thomas N. Nc
Carter, president of the company;
Chancellor Merritt, also former State
Senator Edmund w Wakely, former
Circuit Court Judge William H. Speer
and Mr. Bergen
The answer of the company was
to the effect that they had been forced
to lose $13.0OO00O, and that it had
been prevented by Utility Boards dur
ing long period of years from earn
ing $13,652 ,542.99 that it should have

Utility Boards had unlawfully IL
censed jitneys operating in competi-

already stated, the arguments were
long and tiresome and no advance
whatever was made towards a settle

Service knows nothing of when the
strike will end Neither does the

Mrs. Logan's Ring
Found in Pantry

The valuable diamond ring which
was missing from the home of Mrs
Charles T. Logan has been found.
Continuing her search, which went on
for over a week, Mrs Logan was 60
ing through the shelves of the but
ler's pantry in her home on Sunday
morning last when she saw the little
medicine box containing the ring,
jewels found 1t was an exciting mo-
ment, and Mrs. Logan and her daugh-
ter were greatly rejoiced. The police
at Fort Lee were Immediately mott
fled, Captain Hartnett congratulating
Mrs. Logan upon her good fortune.
One regrettable incident took place
in connection with the disappearance
of the ring Young Mr. Schuester, the
ice man, the only one known to have
been in the house about the time the
ring was missed, was examined by the
police, but, of course, nothing was
found The examination was not
made in the nature of an accusation,
but merely as a precaution. Mrs. Lo-
gan greatly regrets the annoyance to
the young man and has so expressed
herself to the police department. She
does not understand how the ring
came back and is almost sure that
some one, self suspected perhaps,
who might have had it, put the ring
back on the shelf. How it could have
been placed there, however, is mys-
terry. The police and Mrs. Logan and
daughter ransacked every nook and
corner of the pantry without results.
The strange part of it is that the box
was plainly visible when found.
