Returns From Tour
A. II. Croonquist of Camp Senia,
just returned from trip that took
him all thru the east where he ad-
dressed over forty meetings of lovers
of the nut-nf doors. These audiences
numbering from 100 to 1880 people,
listened with interest to his dscript-
ion Of the beauty and grandeur of the
Beartooth mountains, says Mr..
Croonquist, who had 100 colored
slides and three reels of motion pic
lures to verify the claims made for
this remarkable beauty spot about
which even people here in Red Lodge
know so little.
These pictures showed the Eastern
people that nature has been particul-
arly kind to this region for not only
did she raise mountains to enormous
attitudes and cut interesting canyons
of wonderous beauty, but she planted
forests on their slopes, crowned many
OF them with perpetual snow, deposit
cd extensive glaciers In recesses at
their feet, and above all saw fit to
place there the only grass hopper
glaciers In the world.
Fisherman Interested
Besides the scenes of wonderful
natural beauty, the lakes, streams and
the strings Of fish shown In the slides
and films made the blood in the veins
of many anglers present tingle with
anticipation, and as result several
nationally known fisherman are COM
ing here this summer to fish our lakes
and our miles and miles of virgin
trout streams.
Croonquist says, 1.-THE Beartooth
Region Is practically the only play
ground that has retained all it's natur-
al ruggedness and wild beauty and
as a public plsy ground is accepted
TO be the most rugged and picturesque
in the northwest. There are no fash
ionable hotels in this region, no set

written by Mrs. John D. Cro;ssant and
read by Mrs. De Witt Croissant. Mrs.
Augustus knight told OF interesting
features of the biennial convention of
the G. F. w. c., recently held at
San Francisco. Two guests were
present. Miss Mary Brown and Mrs.
j. J.Livsey of Newport News. who gave
an outline of the studies Of the art
club Of that place.
Battery Park Garden Club.-The i'm
portance Of the actual preservation
OF our native wild flowers can
scarcely be too highly emphasized.
For this reason the club secured
Prof. Edgar T. Wherry Of the Wild
Flower Preservation Society, and
originator Of the "Wherry test Of soil
acidity," to bring before them the
actual wild flower situation as 1t
exists today and to suggest methods
of preservation, also means Of check
ing the marauder of our national
heritage. The meeting was held at
the home of Prof. and Mrs. David
Lumsdon on Michigan avenue, Tues
day. at 10 am. Prof. Wherry advo-
Gated the cultivation of wild flowers
In our own gardens as one Of the
best ways of preserving the species.
Many of the wild flowers and shrubs
require acid soil. For this reason
transplanting wild flowers into soils
not suited to their needs Is but
another practice of annihilation. A
combination of white sand. pine
needles and oak leaves forms the acid
soil required by such plants as ar
butus and laurel. Examples Of
luxurious growth of foliage and
dowers were shown on the screen
products Of this combination acid
soil.
Mrs. ]. B. Bennett. who has recent
ly returned from a sojourn in Europe,
brought with her numerous scenes
from French gardens, which were
placed on the screen. The preserva-
club. as was evidenced by a motion
from Mrs. Edward Kohman that in
stead Of cutting trees for Christmas
live trees be used. 1t was brought
out that nursery men Will provide
trees set in tubs, which can be deco
rated and used the same as cut trees
and planted out later. AS much
planting of trees, shrubs and bulbs
has been going on in the gardens
owing to favorable weather, and also
in view of capturing one or more of
the prizes to be given out in May for
the most effective home surroundings.
the idea OF live Christmas trees was a
popular one.
The president, Mrs. P. II. Mallory.
suggested Christmas carols be sung
by the children of Battery Park to
augment the community spirit al
ready existing. She moved that
Christmas candles burn in the win
dows Of every home in Battery Park
on Christmas eve. which suggestions
were unanimously approved.
In order to replenish the treasury
1t was proposed by Mrs. j. B. Bennett
that a series of bridge parties be
held. She offered her home for the
Initial party in January.
The treasurer, Mrs. w. F. Baugh-
man, read her yearly report, balanced

that it was the boroughs duty to see
that honest, intelligent and efficient
ruen were appointed on the election
Boards and they were supposd to
count the ballots in an honest, intel
hgent and efficient manner If the
recount shows that the ballots were
counted wrong in error, then Mr..
Schall will get the office; if it shows
they were counted wrong fraudulent
ly, or with intent, then it means Jail
for somebody of somebodies.
He said that on the night of the
election it was reported that two
members of the election Board in
District No. (Palisade) had said
there must have been something
wrong in the count in Coytesville.
Judge Moore said that Mr.. Schall
the night of the Council meeting fol
lowing the election had told a group
of men that he thought the election
was honest and that he had been de-
feated, yet few days after that the
request for the recount was made.

tude" the speaker asked, and an
swered himself, you must go to Mr.
Schalls advisors for that informa-
ton"
Decent, Honest, Boobs"
The Judges remarks about Pali-
sade as a section left the impression
that he exonerated the mass of vot
ers as not realizing what they were
doing in following the dictates of a
few misled leaders and characterized
them as decent, honest, boobs''
Judge Moore also said that he felt
that Palisade was sufficiently well
represented on the Council Board
Low, stating that two men in last
years election were put into office
by Palisades large vote for them, and
surely they will show their gratitude
by seeing that Palisade is properly
cared for
He said also that he did not consid-
er Mr.. Schall typical representa-
tive of Palisade anyway, and added
that he judges a man by the company
he keeps.
He reported that he had heard
Philip Smith of Palisade had contrib
uted 800 toward the recount and SO
had Richard Pagliughi. He further
said that it was reported to him that
Mr.. Pagliughi had said he would
spend up to $1,000 on the recount.
The Judge wondered just what was
the cause Of such deep concern on
the part of these two men. could
it be friendship? "Well," he said,
they must be wonderful friends!'
Big Cost of Recount.
He told his listeners that the re-
count would cost between so cents
and one dollar per vote, or total
OF $1,000 to $4,000. He said the only
one who could stop it now was Mr..
Schall himself, and he feared that he
didn't have nerve enough, and if he

Anti-Saloon Head
Opposes Chandless
AS Majority Leader

Just when everything was set to
make Ralph Chandless, Asemblyman,
the majority leader of the House at
the coming session of the Legislature
the newly-eiected head of the N. ].
Jersey Anti-Saloon League, Rev. M
S. Poulson, issued the following state
ment:
I'm view of the platform declara-
tions that were unanimously adopted
by those who will control the next
session of the Legislature, and after
the proposed wet plank had been so
overwhelmingly defeated by vote of
SO to 5, Mr.. Chandless being one of
the five, an attempt to force him into
this position of influence and leader
ship looks like needless challenge
to the dry forces of the state.
"Mr. Chandless' official and per-
sonal attitude on this issue is too
well-known among his associates in
the assembly for me to go into de-
tails.
the far-sighted among them, that this
would be an unfortunate selection,
and in the event of it being carried
out, the public would inevitably know
all that they know, and the reflection
would be upon those who sponsored
him and voted for him. A word to
the wise is sometimes sufficient"
Senator Mackay, Chandlesss chief
supporter, denies the charges of Rev.
Poulson and says that. a change of
the Volstead Act is no longer an is
sue. II it was an isue, the Senator
said, Chandless has no power as an
individual to bring it about. The
only opponent in the field against
Ohandless to date is Asemblyman
Glenn Anderson, of Essex county, and
it is not thought that Rev. Poulson's
attack will have much weight against
him.

ing and not to talk and that as far
as the recent election and the re-
count were concerned he had no per-
sonal feeling in the matter. He eX-
planned that in the campaign the pa
per he represented was not for or
against any individual or group of
individuals but had condemned the
ace" vote system not only this year,
but in years past, warning that it ulti-
mately defeated the very purpose for
which it was invented and the last
election proved this contention sound.

reason because | have to be interest
ed in it as a reporter, and, too,
because | live here and intend to

tinued. He said that the Palisadian
had always argued on matters of
principle and policy and did not deal
in personalities except as they for
Warded or retarded the principles for
which it stood He referred to his
papers unqualified support of Samuel
J Corker in last years election and
said that Mr.. Corker dared to come
out with a definite platform and
stand for principles which the paper
also believed in In closing he told
briefly of the birth of the Commits
sion movement in the borough and
the reason why he felt it was a step
il, the right direction.
Collect Fund of S145
Before taking up collection
Frank Chichizola, newcomer from
Brooklyn, told what he had learned
about Fort Lee politics during his
brief residence here and ended by
saying that a clique existed in Fort
Lee and it must be broken.
The collection resulted in the neat
sum of S145 and further contribu-
tons are to be sent to the secretary,
Jack Lang, Fort Lee, N. ]. This
money is to be used to defray the
attorney of Hoebel and Grieb during
the recount.

him.
When Grieb and Hoebel were
served with the notice, he related they
appeared before the County Board of
Elections and told the members that
they had the utmost confidence in
them and preferred not to go to the
expense of employing counsel and
that they would be satisfied to leave
the entire matter to the Board.
A member of the County Board
advised and urged them to employ
counsel to argue the debatable bal
lots as the other side would have
an attorney also, he said.
The first thought was to ask for
financial aid from the local Council
but it was found that they would not
be permitted by law to spend money
for this purpose SO they were appeal
ing to the citizens to dig down into
their jeans and give what they could.
He said that the attorneys for Mr..
Schall have said that they had suf-
ficient money back of them to go
means they must have from 800 to
So, 900.
He urged that no letter be sent to
the defeated candidate asking that he
reconsider and that no intimation be
made to his friends that they were
afraid of a recount
A Democrat Speaks
Next to speak was one of the Dem
ocratic County Committee members,
James DAILY, who said he was sorry
to say that they had a Democrat
asking for recount He said he
felt he had a right to talk because
he was responsible for appointing
half the members of several of the
election Boards and knew that he
had appointed responsible, honest
men. He quoted Mr.. Schalrs record
as Democrat, saying that in some
elections he had urged the election
of Republican candidates against
those of the Democratic party and
that he as a Councilman had never
moved or approved the appointment
OF any Democrat to appolntlVe OF
fees. He said, further, that Harry
Cook was the only Democrat on the
Board that explained why he voted
tc confirm the appointment of Re-
publican attorney and the only one
who raised his voice in protest
against the appointment of William
j. Ennis as Recorder after his over
whelming defeat as a Republican
candidate for Justice of the Peace.
Principles, Not Personalities
Charles Lane, the manager and as
sociate editor of the Palisadian, was
the only person present who resides
in the Palisade section and the chair
man called upon him to make a few
remarks. Mr.. Lane said that he had
come to listen and report the meet

duction of charges in connection with
financial reorganization, result in an
additional net increase in surplus.

the Fort Bliss polo team, winner
in the midwinter open polo tourna-

by the University of Arizona team,
which, while winner in the intercolle-

The score of the Arizona triumph
over Fort Bliss was eight goals to five.
The Bliss team used university

CATCH RUINS HITTING
Jameson Might Have Led Batters
But for Neck Injury in Fancy Catch.

Cleveland, April 12.-You may re-
call that for months last season Char
ley Jameson. the Indians left-fielder.
was in the thick of the fight for the
league batting championship.
At one time he was leading the
great Ruth by nearly so points and
as late as August he was but twelve
points behind the pace-sctting He'll
mann. Then suddenly he went into n
mysterious slump and dropped steadily
back. finally finishing with a .345
mark.
The critics explained the slump by
saying Jameson had been hitting over
his head, and this was generally &C.
copied as the truth.
The fact was. however. Jameson
developed stiff neck following SOM
ersault catch and this stayed with him
for weeks. affecting his swing and
timing to such an extent that he was
unable to meet the ball solidly.
When he finally recovered he was
too far back to catch Gp with the
leaders. .tk
For all that the Connie Mack dis
card made more hits than any other
player in the league and this spring
he stands out as a formidable chal-
lenger for the batting championship.
