WASHINGTON

George Harvey, American ambas-
sador to Great Britain, has made
mysterious trip to Washington in con-
nection with the reparations crisis,
which came to a head with the mo-
mentous statement of Premier Bald
win in British Commons. HarVeys
arrival created intense excitement in
Washington, and indicated the keen
interest of the United States in I'M
pending developments in Europe.

FLACK HOME IN
PALISADE ROBBED
Thieves Pass Up ValuabIes and
Steal War Tokens; Evidently
Work of Boys.

The home of Major Flack in Pali-
sade was entered and robbed some
| time between 1890 and o'clock on
| Tuesday afternoon. The loot repre-
sented little in intrinsic value, but
the articles stolen were very dear to
the Flack family because of the senti-
ment attached to them. The stolen
goods consisted chiefly of service but
tons and badges, most of which be-
longed to the late Walter Flack, son
of Major and Mrs. Flack. Some jew
elry was taken also, as well as flash
light and an old, worthless revolver.
Mrs. Flack was in New York on
business and Major Flack left the
house about 1890 p. m. on Tuesday
to meet her, and did not return until
p. m., when they discovered what
had taken place.
The thieves entered by the back
door, which was not bolted, and forced
open small glass case in the front
room with knife they took from the
kitchen. The blade was broken dur
ing the act. From this case they stole
many war trophies and souvenirs, and
from the closet on the ground floor
they took Major Flack's army hat
The entire house was ransacked from
garret to cellar, yet the intruders de-
| liberately overlooked pieces of jewel
ry solid silverware which lay in plain
view on the table, and other articles
of real practical value. The nature
of the things stolen seems to indicate
that the job was done by young boys,
and it is known that a group of
youngsters were camping in the
woods nearby day or two previous;
in fact, bands of boys constantly use
the woods for camping or picknick-
ing purposes most all summer, most
of whom come from New York
The Fort Lee police were notified
and an offifficer is now working on
the case.
! A list of the things stolen follows;
Two World War medals Zone with
three bars and one with five stars) 4,
two cuff buttons Company X, 107th
Infantry), one officers insignia
| Crossed guns), one silver wound but
ton, one Preparedness button, one
American Legion button, one N. G. N

with oversee ribbon, one German
officers bar for Iron Cross, one minia-
| ture helmet CA. E. F. Armistice SOU

Editors Meet
Black at Dinner

AT the Union League Club, Hacken-
sack, Friday evening, July 20, an in
formal dinner was arranged by some
friends of Charles F. Black, candidate
for nomination for member of Assem-
bly, on the Republican ticket, at which
Senator William B. Mackay and rep
resentatives of the press were pres
ent as guests.
The purpose of the gathering as
stated in the invitations was to pro-
vide an opportunity for the represent
atives of the Bergen county press to
meet Mr.. Black personally in an in
formal way, prior to the coming cleo
tions.
After the very excellent dinner,
Senator Mackay spoke informally and
referred to his personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Black and his many excel
lent qualifications for the office for
which he is a candidate, stating that
he believed Mr.. Blacks experience
and training would unquestionably en-
able him to serve the people of Ber-
gen county and the State of New Jer-
sey with efficiency in the legislature,
especially as Bergen county is vitally
interested in the matter of better and
additional transportation facilities and
Mr.. Black is familiar with these
transportation problems.
Mr.. Black outlined briefly his ideas
on how he could be of service to the
people of his county and state, refer
ring particularly to the Port Authority
and the matter of bridges and tun-
nels across and under Bergen county,
and promised that as the campaign
progresses he would go into discus
sion of these transportation problems
in greater detail

SOLUTION TO SEWER
PROBLEM MAY Be NEAR
Joint Action of 3 Boroughs Likely;
Engineer to Give Approx
mate Cost.

The sewer conditions in West Pali-
sade and West Grantwood have been
a subject of discussion in the councils
of the two boroughs for many years,
and at times when it seemed some
definite action would be taken a hitch
in the plan always interfered.
Time and again citizens of West
Grantwood have petitioned and plead
in person with the Cliffside Park
Council for relief from flooded cellars
that followed every downpour of rain,
and, on the other hand, periodically,
complaints of similar nature have
been made to the Fort Lee Council by
citizens of West Palisade. Investiga-
tions which followed bore witness to
the truth about the bad conditions as
outlined by the professors, yet moth
ing was ever done to remedy the sit
uation, but many plans were copsid-
cred.
At the meeting of the Fort Lee
Council on Wednesday night of last
week Mr. J. F. Bradshaw, of West
Palisade, addressed the board and out
lined the condition that existed, sug-
gesting that now was the time to act
as Ridgefield was laying a new sewer
in the vicinity and might consider a
joint proposition. Councilman Corker
proposed a joint meeting of the Off
cials of the three boroughs at Bergen
boulevard and the trolley line in
Ridgefield, and set the date for Tues
day at 6 p. m.
The meeting was held as scheduled
with representatives from the three
boroughs present. 1t was decided to
let the engineer prepare plans, giving
the approximate cost of the project,
and Ridgefield was asked to submit a
figure which would be agreeable to
them as compensation for permitting
For Lee and Cliffside Park to connect
with their sewer.
If the cost is not exorbitant it will
probably lead to the solution of the
perplexing question of how to remedy
the sewer conditions in this section
within a short time.

journed for one week, as was the case
of John Kerwinkle.

charge of violating the sanitary law
and was fined $5. He asked if the other

that there was not sufficient evidence
to hold the defendant for the grand

Annoys Edgewater

Says as Far as He Is Concerned There
Is to Be No Fight for G. o. P. Head.
Former Judge John B. Zabriskie,
Isbusy with law practice which Ian
guished during his term on the bench,
expressed surprise at the hot weather
political news which makes it appear
as if he were leading fight to be the
head of the Bergen County Republican
Committee, and in response to an in
quiry by newspaper man he said:
"Since the last meeting of the Re-
publican County Committee to my
surprise | have been repeatedly ques-
toned by newspaper men and others,
who desire to know whether or not 1
am to be a candidate for the chair
manship of that body Many seem to
be anxious to ascertain whether or
not there is to be fight between
my old and esteemed friend, Duncan
B. McClave, and myself for that posi-
tion.
"My answer is that the only fight
that l expect to make for some time
to come will be the right to build up
my law practice, which naturally suf-
fered during the five years l was on
the bench.
GAS you know, the judge of the
court of common pleas during his
term of Office is not permitted to prac-
tice in any of the law courts of the
county, and when clients are repeat
edly turned away during period Of
years it takes some time to re-estab-
lish, so you are perfectly at liberty to
say for me that there is going to be
no fight in which l am party for
the Craftsmanship of the Republican
County Committee"

grist said that his pumps as placed
was violation of the law and par
ticularly menace in view Of the fact
that they are near the lumber yard.
He asked that the matter be laid over,
and it was. Mr.. Dietrich explained
that the man had been allowed to
place his tanks where they are and
that the police knew he was doing SO,
yet he was not told it was a violation
until he had the work completed. Mr.
Woodcock, chief Of police, stated that
he was right in placing the tanks
where they are, but the pumps should
be back from the curb.
In addition to the foregoing, several
communications of minor importance
were read.
