ROBBED OF COMMON
SENSE BY INTOXICANT
N. Y. Italian Loses Life in Plunge

Crazed with drink and laughing at
the urgent warnings and pleadings OF
many people, Tuero Toscha, 35 years
old, of 306 West 169th street, New
York City, walked to his death on
Sunday afternoon, when he staggered
out to the huge surf bathing sign of
Palisade Amusement Park. Ventur-
ing beyond that beacon he lost his
balance and slipped out of sight onto
the trolley tracks fifty feet below.
A south1bound Hudson River troll
ley was brought to a grinding stop
as the body came within inches OF the
filled car. Although unconscious,
Toscha was still breathing when he
was rushed to the Edgewater Police
Station. After a brief examination

AUTO ACCIDENT ON
PALISADE AVE. KILLS |
Herman Andressen Loses Life
When Speeding Car Hits
Parked Truck Near
Route No. 10.

Herman Andressen, twenty-five, of
Dumont was killed instantly last Fri
day night in Palisade when the auto
in which he was a passenger ran with
great force into stationary truck on
Palisade avenue near Route No. 10.
The machine was being driven by a
companion of Andressen, Harold S.
men had been working on the car dur
ing the day and took it out at night
to "see how it ran" They were COM
ing down Palisade avenue at high
rate of speed and after passing two
cars crashed into the projecting cor
ner of the parked truck. The road
ster in which they were riding somer-
saulted several times, and both bodies
were hurled to the road. Clifford was
not injured and got up, ran toward
the woods and disappeared.
Thomas Phillips of Jersey City,
driver of the car the young men
passed, picked up the lifeless body of
the victim and took it to the Cliffside
police station, where Officer Bruley
called in DR.. Dilger, but death had
been practically instantaneous.
The truck, on its way to market,
had broken down when the right
front wheel came off. Those in charge
of the truck had placed warning
light on it before they left it by the
side of the road.
Andressen was a carpenter and re-
Gently had been living at 155 Quacken-
bush avenue, Dumont. Some time ago
he worked in various parts of Bergen
county and belonged to the Carpen-
ters' Union. His mother is in Europe
at present, but he had three sisters
and two brothers in this vicinity. Fu-
neral services were held in Brooklyn
at an aunt's home under the direction
of McNally brothers.
Fort Lee authorities took charge of
the case, and an investigation by Ser
geant Rosentengel resulted in the car
owners identity being learned. He
was arrested in Dumont by the local
police Saturday morning.
Later he was arraigned before Re-
corder Ennis and committed to the
county Jail at Hackensack
John Schlute of New Bridge road,
West Englewood, in charge of the
truck, was also placed under arrest
by the Fort Lee police. He, too, is
being held under $1,000 bail, techni-
cal charge having been lodged against
him.
County Detective Nathan Allyn is
investigating the case.

TROLLEY CRASH KILLS
ONE, INJURIES SEVEN
Head-on Collision in Palisade
Last Saturday Night; Acct
dent Blamed on Dead
Mot0rman.

One man was killed and seven were
injured in a head-on street car colli-
sion in Palisade last Saturday eve-
ming about 1880 o'clock.
The man killed was Floyd Bower,
33, motorman of one of the cars,
who died from the result of injuries
in the Englewood Hospital a few
hours after the accident.
Those most seriously injured were
removed to the Englewood Hospital
after being given first aid treatment
by Dr. Crandall of Fort Lee. They
were: j. D. Dryer of 155 West Eighty
third street, New York; John Lynch
of 2179 Edwin avenue, Fort Lee; Al
fred L. Nance of 657 West 1S7th
street, New York, and o. Debella of
Fort Lee.
Others suffered only minor injuries.
One car, with Milton Bronson as
motorman and Gordon Gullage as con-
ductor, was travelling south and when
about 800 feet south of where the
north bound car, in charge of Brewer,
with Nathan Thorman as conductor.
Bronson escaped serious injury by
jumping when he saw the crash could
not be averted. Several of the pas
sengers on both cars attempted to
jump also, and number of women
and children tainted.
The Public Service officials claim
the dead motorman was responsible
for passing the signal, a red light.
1t is reported, however, that Bower
before he died said, 81 had the green
light" meaning it was all right for
him to go ahead.
Bronson was held for the grand
jury by Recorder Ennis of Fort Lee
on the technical charge of man
slaughter.

Love Affair With
Married Woman
Has Tragic End

Mrs. Ethel Wheeler. &c. of Harring-
ton Park, N. j., died in the Englewood
Hospital on last Monday night after
taking a drug which, the authorities
claim, was given to her by Maurice
During of Dumont in a Coytesville
roadhouse on Monday last.
Evidence gathered by the prosecu-
tors Office indicates that During had
been keeping company with Mrs.
Wheeler over a period of time and
that on this day he purchased guam
tity of cantharides in Dumont drug
store and put a part of the "love po-
ton" into Mr.. Wheeler's drink at the
roadhouse. She became violently ill
and was removed to the Englewood
Hospital, where she lived only a few
hours.
Young During is being held under
homicide charge.
Mrs. Eleanor During, mother of the
young man, claims that Mrs. Wheeler
supplied the drug and says her son
told her this. She says also that he
had taken some of it once and it had
made him violently i'll. She knew of
his affair with Mrs. Wheeler and had
tried in vain to put an end to it.
Prosecutor Hart discredits the
mothers story and says he has con-
elusive evidence that During is guilty

for vacation stay in Canada

GRANTWOOD MAN OF

Cool Action by Police Prevents
Panic Among School Children
Near Scene of Tragedy.

Alfred Carlsen, 70 years old, of 2SS
Lawton avenue, met with instant
death at his home on Friday afternoon
when severe explosion rocked the
house and demolished it to a certain
extent.
Although no definite reason can be
given, it is very likely that Carlsen,
who was an aged man, failed to notice
when he pressed the gas it did not
make a contact with the pilot light.
He had planned to heat pot of coffee.
While waiting for the coffee to heat
he evidently fell asleep. The fact that
the kitchen was gradually filling up
with escaping gas made the old gen.
tleman unconscious. Finally the pilot
light ignited the gas in the room caus-
ing the fatal explosion.

the time of the unfortunate accident
Mrs. Ostrum was visiting friends in

she became grief-stricken as were the

THE EDGE MACHINE DEFEATED

New Jersey has followed her re-
cent blow to Nugent's Democratic
machine with an equally heavy
blow to Senator Edges Republican
machine. The party forces opposed
to Senator Edge have long been
biding their opportunity. A year
ago he was regarded as liability
to the Coolidge ticket and last fall
ran far behind it. In fact, his ma
jority over his Democratic oppo-
nent for the Senate was nearly
100000 less than Coolidge's majori-
ty in the State. Now his choice for
the Gubernatorial nomination, T. F.
McCran, is swamped in contest
in which all the strength of Sen
ator Edges organization was en-
listed.
The returns show plainly that
Arthur Whitney's victory was an
anti-machine victory. Mr.. Whit
ney's stand as dry was of the
less advantage to him because a
third candidate was in the field as
"bone dry" and managed to poll
about 10000 votes, while the State
is by no means overwhelming
''dry" in sentiment. Moreover, we
find Mr.. Whitney carrying not only
rural territory, where the Prohibi-
ton question might have been ex-
pected to assist him most, but ur-
ban territory-he almost doubled
Mr.. McCran's vote in Essex Coun-
ty. The issues in the contest were
mixed But there can be no doubt
that Mr.. Whitneys cry is Down
with Edge bossism!" and his plea
for a Governor-whoW would not take
orders from Mr.. Edges Washing
ton Office went home to men and
women voters alike. His victory is
victory for his party.-New York

DAY TO Be ONE OF SIMPLE INTEREST
With A GREAT FIREWORKS DISPLAY

has been arranged, all short address

a Palisade boy and a Palisade girl
during the public exercises at the
school.
The great evening demonstration of
fireworks at the Palisade Fairgrounds
will excel all of Emile Yurillos previ-
Gus exhibitions Mr.. Yurillo has
promised to surpass anything he has
ever shown here, difficult feat in
deed. Among other novelties he will
have an illumination of the woods to
the east of the Fairgrounds that will
be in color and of surprising beauty.
This illumination has now become a
feature of rare beauty, but this year 1t
will surprise all.
In set pieces, in aerial bombs and
other pyrotechnic displays the 1925
display will be wonderful No city OF
100000 population or over will have a
superior display to that of Palisade.
Reservation space for automobiles
will be made by family tickets issued
to Palisadians, and a fee charged
to outsiders who want to use space for
their cars. This move has become
necessary owing to the great crowds
that have attended the Palisade dis
plays.
If there is rain in the forenoon there
will be no parade, but the. speaking
and music will be at the school house
in. Anderson avenue.
If it rains at night the fireworks
will be postponed to the first clear

PARIS DRESSMAKER
KILLS DYING SISTER
Paris Woman Admits She Killed Sis

from tuberculosis.

Paris - Taking her cue from the
acquittal eight days ago of the Polish
actress, Stan Uminska, who shot her
lover because he suffered from an in
durable disease. Anna lie Vassor, g
poor dressmaker, ended the agony of
her tubercular sister.
When the revolver which had
brought death to the sick girl clogred
as she turned it on herself, Anna
walked to police commissariat and
said calmly:
81 have killed my sister because
she preferred death to a hospital"
A police inspector thought the drab
little woman insane. But the dispas-
sionate, sombre tale she told could
be nothing but truth.
Tuberculosis took two other sis
ters," she said. "The girl insisted
kill her. ! refused, but the pain grew
more intense. She suffered untold
agony. At last she pleaded in such
desperation / could no longer resist. y
Anna was not detained, but probably
will be arrested today to face trial
for murder.
The decision in the Uminska case
aroused storm of protest.
