CRANTWOOD FIGHTER
SURPRISES RING FANS
Nearly Knocks Out Clever Hudson
County K. O. Expert on
Last Monday Night.

Pip" Damis of Grantwood took a
double step up the pugilistic ladder
of fame when he very nearly knocked
out Jimmy Francis, Hudson county rs
boxing star, in the eighth round of a
twelve-round battle.
The Hudson Dispatch gave the local
boxer full credit for his remarkable
showing and part of the article fol
lows:
Pip Damis of Grantwood came near
staging a tremendous pugilistic upset
Monday night The Bergen county
mauler, fighting a cool, cautious bat
tie, held and punched his way to a
twelve-round draw with Jimmy Fran
els, West Hoboken's knockout king,
before tremendous throng at the
opening show at Amsterdam Hall on
Monday night.
Before the battle began the Grant
wood lad was the underdog in the bet
ting, but after few rounds had swept
into history it became evident that
Francis was not going to have his own
way entirely, and in the thrilling
eighth session the GrantWoOd lad al
most knocked Francis out, arm-weari'
ness alone preventing him from turn
ing the stunt.
"He also scored a clean knockdown
in the eleventh round, sending Fran
els to the floor in a neutral corner
with a clean left to the head
"Damis, had he not held so much
might have been the victor. How.
ever, in his defense, it must be said
that he was outweighed considerably
and that he would have been foolish
to mix it up with Jimmy recklessly
The weights were announced as 154
for Damis and 160 for Francis, but
Jimmy appeared to be full fifteen
pounds heavier than the Grantwood
man."

ALEX, WHO Wandered
FROM HOME, IS DEAD
Hanged Himself With Clothesline
in Woods Near New Bruns-
wick; Had Suffered From
Nervous Breakdown.

The body of Ludwig F. Alex of 80
West View place, Coytesville, who
disappeared from his home a week
or so ago, was found hung by a clothes
line from the limb of tree in the
woods near the Lincoln highway,
about four miles from New Bruins
wick, on Saturday last.
He was employed by the Miller Con-
struction Company in New York and
one morning about two weeks ago he
left his home to go to work and was
not heard from until the news of his
tragic death reached his wife and
little daughter Marion.
His identification was established
by an automobile license and other
cards found on his person. He had
been suffering from a nervous break
down for some time, and that he was
fearful of some unusual action on his
part was indicated by note found
in his pocket. 1t read:
May God protect my wife and child
for my mind is wandering and l do
not know what my next act" The
note was unfinished.
The body was found by two young
men who were walking through the
woods. There was evidence that Alex
had fastened the rope over the limb
of large tree and had then jumped
from a second and smaller tree. The
rope, though broken, had either broken
his neck in the drop or caused his
death by strangulation, County Detec-
tive Ferd David, who investigated,
stated. The body was removed to
Hubbard's morgue in New Brunswick.

Find Body of Young
Man in Hudson River

The body of an unidentified young
man was found in the Hudson river
on Monday at Ross dock, not far from
Interstate Park. The body was or
dered removed to McNallys morgue,
Fort Lee.
At the morgue it was stated that the
body did not bear any marks which
might be taken to indicate violence.
The face was discolored, but the rest
of the body was in good condition. 1t
is believed that it was in the water
only short time.
Nothing was found on the man, in
his pockets or elsewhere, to identify
him. Seventy-nine cents and a Yale
key was all that the pockets pro-
duced.
The young man was not more than
twenty-five years old and was we'll
dressed.

ATLANTIC CITY GAY
WITH FALL CROWDS
The Editor Goes on Visit of Re-
cuperation to the Great
Resort.

A ten days stay at Atlantic City in
worlds resorts as choc-o-block with
customers as in mid-August. On Sat
urday. Sunday and Monday, October
II, IL and 13, there was scarcely a
room to be obtained at any of the
boardwalk hotels. The Ambassador,
Marlboro -Blenheim, Traymore, Chal-
fonte or Haddon Hall all turned peo-
pie away. While October is al
ways a good month, this year it has
been a record breaker. On Sunday
last the boardwalk was packed with a
bedlam of promenaders and rolling
chairs as though the season were at
it's height. There were only few
bathers,f however. AS matter of
fact, the slogan of Atlantic City is
that it is an All-the-Year Resort. / do
not know how it would fare in Janu-
airy or February blizzard, but if 10,-
900 people happened in here during
the most savage snowstorm they
would be comfortable and happy be-
cause of the homelike charm of the
hotels.
One of the oldest of these Atlantic
City hotels is Haddon Hall, formerly
all framed of wood, but now one-half
of it has been modernized into sky
scraper, wit habout the most appeal
ing string of well-ordered lobbies one
ever saw. Indeed, these lobbies and
lounging parlors, extending over three
floors and covering an immense area,
perhaps several acres all told, are tru-
ly wonderful. Along a long lane of
one of these Haddon Hall lobbies are

COUNCILMAN HARRY COOK ACTS AS
PRESS CENSOR AND SAYS THAT The
SALARY PETITION HAD 729 NAMES
Mayor White Said He Was Not in Favor of Any Con-
troversy With the Newspapers; Question of Salaries
for Officials Not to Go the Ballot This Year,
Other Matters Come Before Governing Body.

Councilman Harry Cook of the Fort
Lee Council Board presented a page
of the Hudson Dispatch to the clerk
at the meeting on Wednesday night
and asked that he read the article
pertaining to the petition asking the
question Of salaries for the Mayor and
Councilmen be submitted to the vot-
ers.
Mr.. Cook objected to the part of the
peared on the petition when it was
presented. He criticised the newspa-
per for making such a statement and
said there were 729 names on the Pc
tition. He explained that four votes
were necessary in the Council to
consent to have it placed on the bal
lot and only three were assured, so
the petition was of no avail. 1t was
evidently Mr.. Cooks desire that the
clerk write to the newspaper and call
attention to the inaccuracy.
Mayor White said to Mr.. Cook, "Is
that the only paper you saw"
81 saw The Palisadian, if that's
Mayor White continued and said
that he was against the proposition
from the beginning and the petitions
and signatures were big surprise to
him. He further said that he was
afraid to take the matter up because
it was all done in such short time.
In regard to the press he said he was
not in favor of any controversy with
the newspapers, and he felt knock
was boost every time.
Mr.. Cook said that probably the rea-
son for The Palisadian's attitude was
because it was in favor of commission
government, but said he was not, be-
cause he felt a large board was bet
ter than small one.
The contract for the repair of Hud-
son Terrace was awarded to John ].
lMcGarry at $2,555.40. The contract
for the construction of a sewer in
Buckingham road went to Frank Ca
VALERIE at $4,857.50, while Richard Pa
gliughi got the contract for the side
walks, curb and gutter at $6,24O on
buckingham road.
A hearing was given on the Area
dian Way improvement ordinances,
and no objections were made.
A representative of the Palisade
Holding Corporation was present and
explained in detail request made by
letter for the cancellation of the in
terest on ten years back taxes due on
a couple of lots they own on Bucking-
ham road The Mayor ordered the
letter filed, which was accepted as a
refusal of the request, and he stated
it would set a bad precedent to grant
it.
Saturday, November Is, was set as
the date for the annual firemen's in
spection, and 5000 was appropriated
by resolution to defray the expenses.
A light has been ordered for Seven
teenth street in West Palisade, and
from various reports it was learned
the residents in that vicinity will soon
have water service and proper drain
age facilities.
Other business of minor Importance
was transacted.

To Take Over and
Maintain Highway

Frank Meyer, Republican candi-
date for councilman in Cliffside Park,
in recent statement said he thinks
Palisade avenue should be taken over
by the county or the state and the
borough will thus be relieved of the
cost of maintaining this highway.
Mr.. Meyer explained that large
percentage of the traffic using Pali-
sade avenue was from other munich
palities, and the damage caused by
foreign traffic put an unfair burden
upon the people Of Cliffside Park.
