The Cliffside Park police made an<
important capture of three chain store
robbers who tried to “turn off” the
A. & P. grocery store on Lawton and
Palisade avenues on Friday night of
last week.
James Nicholas, of 220 Lawton ave
nue, late Friday evening heard un
usual noises in the rear of the grocery
store. He arose from the bed and
saw a man forcing the door. To avoid
detection Nicholas jumped out of a
window of his home to notify the
police and met Officer Harold Jacobs,
who was patroling the section and
had heard the noise.
Nicholas got in touch with the
police department and Jacobs took a
look around. He found the door had
been mutilated by a “jimmy” and on
Palisade avenue saw a car parked
with no lights. Two young men com
ing down Palisade avenue were ques
tioned by Jacobs, who suspected they
might be “lookouts.” They claimed
their car had run out of gasoline and
they were en route to a gargae and
asked Jacobs where the nearest ga
rage was. He gave them directions.
Captain John McEvoy and Patrol
men Seitz and Hozier responded to
Nicholas’s phone call and forced the
rear door of the A. & P. store. Total
darkness and silence greeted them
but searching flashlights soon revealed
the big form of Vincent La Salle, 26,
of Jersey City, on a pile of bags.
When the two occupants of the
parked car returned with a can of
gasoline they were seized by the
police and questioned. They were
Theodore Sommers and Joseph Le
fowski, also of Jersey City. The men
claimed to have no knowledge of La
Salle and La Salle declared he did
not know them.
An examination of the machine re
vealed that there was four and a half
gallons in its tank.
The gallon which the two had sfc
cured at the garage was held as evi
dence.
The trio were committed to the
county jail and will appear in the
Criminal Court today.
High School Boy Skips
Class, Gets Drunk and
Returns to Classroom
' George Winters, sixteen-year-old
Hackensack high school pupil, was
expelled this week because of having
attended school while intoxicated.
The Hackensack Board of Education’s
ruling came after charges were pre
ferred against the boy by Principal
Marlatt of the Hackensack High
School.
Winters is said to have acted
"stupid and funny” in his classes,
and it led to an investigation which
disclosed the fact that he had been
drinking.
He admitted to the members of the
Hackensack Board of Education that
he had cut a school period on April
18 last and and had driven his caT
to a saloon in the city, where he had
taken a drink, later returning to his
studies. The vote of the board in ex
pelling Winters was unanimous.
Talented Boy Violinist,
John Corrado, to Give
Concert in Grantwood
John Corrado of Palisade avenue,
Grantwood, the young high school
student and talented violinist, played
at Aeolian Hall, New York, on
Thursday afternoon, before a large
and enthusiastic audience.
The young artist is but fifteen years
of age, but is regarded as a marvel.
He has frequently performed in the
local schools and churches. He has
also rendered selections for phono
graph records and has broadcasted
over the radio. Prominent New York
critics have predicted a career of
great promise for him.
At the solicitation of his many
friends, this well-known youth will
give a recital in Grantwood before his
departure for Europe in the fall where
he is to take up his studies under one
of the great masters. His host of ad
mirers are eager to manifest their ap
preciation of his efforts and will take
that occasion to do so.

Adam J. Ruby Says
People Oppose Creation
Of Useless Political Jobs
Cliffside Park, May 10.—Adam J.
Ruby of Cliffside Park, who is seeking
one of the Republican Assembly nom
inations, has this to say about Ber
gen’s development:
“Bergen County, facing the greatest
development era in its history, is not
in favor of any penny wise and pound
foolish policy, but it does want the
spirit of progressive advancement,
tempered by the proper spirit of econ
omy and prudence.
“The people are delighted with the
prospect of a Hudson River bridge,
with the outlook for rapid transit de
velopment, but they are opposed to
the creation of useless new jobs and
the unjustifiable increase in the sal
aries of those public officials who al
ready receive adequate pay.”
Woods, on Fire in
Ft. Lee Last Sunday
The large piece of woods, between
Fort Lee and Coytesville, and be
tween Jones road and Linwood ave
nue, Fort Lee, brought the Fort Lee
firemen out twice last Sunday.
Early in the morning the woods
started to burn. No report was made
and the fire spread over about four
miles of property. Sunday evening
the firemen beat the worst flames out
with brooms and, feeling confident
that they had gotten the best of the
Are, returned to Firehouse No. 3.
About 30 minutes later they were
again called out, this time to thor
oughly end the threatening Are with
an additional hose.
Residents in the western end of
Coytesville and on Edwin avenue,
Fort Lee, feared that their homes
would be in danger.

The Editor Speaking
After all is said and done, the matter of flying over the North Pole
was due to two circumstances. First, the Wright Brothers invented
the airplane at Dayton, Ohio, and made it fly at Kitty Hawk, N. C.,
along the sand dunes. Next, Count Zeppelin invented the right kind
of rigid dirigible balloon. Then came along a bird in the United States
Navy named Byrd, and flew an airplane right smack over the North
Pole, just like that, (snapping one’s finger!) Three days later that
smart chap, Amundsen, from the Norway, hit it up over the same
point of polarity in a Zep. He had once dog-sledded to the South Pole,
and knew how.
That’s how it all was, with all the credit marks, every one in the
miracle class. And that’s that, as a record for 1926 which won’t be
beaten, because now there’s nothing more to beat.

J. F. DWYER, FORMER
PALISADIAN. MUST
SERVE PRISON TERM
Convicted in Miami, Florida, for
Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.
John F. Dwyer, former New York
police inspector, and once a resident
of Palisade, was sentenced in Miami,
Florida, to serve three years in prison
for obtaining money under false pre
tences. Dwyer was convicted last
week in the Criminal Court of Record.
He was arrested two months ago in
Fort Worth, Tex.
Dwyer was charged with defraud
ing John A. Driscoll of Miami Beach,
a former police lieutenant of New
York, serving under Dwyer, out of
$12,293.75 in a real estate transaction.
Evidence at Dwyer’s trial tended to
show the defendant left Miami imme
diately after obtaining Driscoll’s
money.
A motion for a new trial, filed by
Dwyer’s attorneys Saturday, was over
ruled and ninety days were allowed
him in which to file a bill of excep
tions. His bond was fixed at $3,000.
John F. Dwyer was highly regarded
by advocates of “reform” in New
York ever since the days of 1913,
when he led a series of spectacular
raids on gamblers and resorts of crim
nals.
Police Commissioner Waldo ap
pointed him an inspector in 1912, a
month after he had been made a cap
tain, with special instructions for
cleaning up the district.
Dwyer served in the navy during
the Spanish-American War, and at the
end came to New York and joined the
harbor police.
In 1921 the Meyer investigating
committee inquired rather extensive
ly into his considerable real estate
holdings, and Dwyer admitted that in
buying one apartment house he had
used another name and turned the
building over to his son.
A few months later he completed
twenty-one years of service in the
department and retired on a pension,
remaining for two years in charge of
the police reserves. In 1923 he was
sent to Kings Park Asylum, Kings
Park, L. I., as insane, but later dis
charged as cured. He is nearly sev
enty years old.
Pupils of Mrs. Susan
Breiby Sweisguth to
Give Benefit Recital
Several years have passed since the
friends of Susan Breiby Sweisguth
have had the pleasure of attending a
recital by her pupils.
These were always of rare interest
and unusual merit, and music lovers
of the Hilltop section will be gratified
to learn that on Friday evening, June’
4, such a recital will be given in the
Palisade school, at the corner of An
derson avenue and the State road,
Palisade.
More formal invitations will not be
issued, as Mrs. Sweisguth desires the
presence of all who have a love and
appreciation of music.
On account of the very general in
terest in the children of the Christian
Orphan Home at Fort Lee, Mrs.
Sweisguth has been prompted to per
mit an opportunity to be given at the
close of the evening for the guests
to leave a free-will offering for that
benefit.
LOCAL RECORDERS CAN
NOW TRY TRAFFIC CASES
Commissioner Dill of the State
Motor Vehicle Department has an
nounced that Bergen county crimi
nal judicial courts, established two
weeks ago, do not deprive borough
recorders of their power to hear
and determine cases involving vio
lation of the motor vehicle law.
The announcement was based on
an opinion by Attorney General
Katzenhach. Determination of a
number of pending motor vehicle
cases awaited the ruling.
Fred Dyer Talks on
Health Matter Before
Local Exchange Club
The Cliffside unit of the Exchange
Club listened to an interesting and en
lightening talk by Health Inspector
Fred Dyer, at the weekly meeting and
luncheon held in the Park Inn, Hud
son Heights, on Tuesday.
Mr. Dyer told of the functions of
the Board of Health, which he said,
are not always understood and re
spected as they should be, particularly
in regard to observance of the quaran
tine law. He said that the Exchange
Club can do much toward helping the
Board of Health by educating the peo
ple in safeguarding and maintaining
the health of the community.
Mr. Dyer urged the unit to help
families in its community who are in
need, especially int he case of under
nourished children, and pleaded for a
better understanding of the laws
which govern the health and welfare
of the people at large.
On the suggestion of Charles J.
Leeger that a permanent health relief
committee be appointed to render
financial aid to stricken families in
time of illness or want the following
members of the unit were so appoint
ed: Fred Dyer and Erwin Goemann.
The discussion of improving the old
borough hall property for a play
ground was continued, and President
Joseph Marini made an appeal to the
unit for co-operation in forestalling
the proposed plan of selling the prop
erty. Chief of Police Frank Borrelli
called attention to the fact that the
police department is badly hampered
for space, and Mr. Sailno suggested
that the first floor of the old borough
hall be converted into police head
quarters. This was referred for later
consideration.
Erwin Goemann suggested that the
playground committee, composed of
Frank Safino, Joseph A. Preston and
Dr. John Irwin, be authorized to meet
with the building and grounds com
mittee of the borough council to con
sider the matter of retaining the
property.
Chief Borrelli suggested that a por
tion of Gorge road, from Edgewater
road to Cliff street, be closed to traf
fic in order that the roller skaters
may be safeguarded from injury by
traffic. This will probably be taken
up as a police ordinance by the bor
ough council.
President Marini asked the co-oper
ation of the unit in observing the im
portance of cleanup week, beginning
May 24. It was announced that a
communication from the Public Ser
vice had been received expressing
willingness to confer with the unit on
the matter of reduced trolley fare to
the ferries, at the meeting on May 25.
The next matter to be taken under
consideration will be the problem of
stray dogs.
GORGE ROAD TRUNK
SEWER ASSESSMENT
OF 80% PROTESTED
Eleven Assessment Hearings Are
Held in Cliffside Park Tuesday
Evening—Muthern Says Speci
fications Not Adhered to on
Anderson Ave. Curbing Job.
The Cliffside Park Mayor and Coun
cil held two busy sessions this week,
one on Monday night and one Tues
day evening, the latter being an ad
journed meeting from Monday night.
Property owners along Gorge road
turned out en masse at Monday
night’s meeting and protested the as
sessment of 80 per cent of the cost
of the trunk sewer on the property
owners living along the highway.
Nicholas Schweitzer, former Council
man, acted as spokesman for the resi
dents. They claim that notice of the
assessment hearing prior to its con
firmation was never received and de
mand that a much larger portion of
the cost be assessed against property
that will benefit from the sewer in
the vicinity and the borough at large.
A protest against the present drain
age system in the street was also
made. No action was taken but the
matter will be considered further by
the governing body.
Property owners along Kamena
street also voted an objection to the
amount of the assessment levied
against them for a recent improve
ment.
Tuesday evening, hearings on the
following street improvement assess
ments were held: Anderson avenue
curb (Cliff street to north Borough
line); Bender place; Dewey avenue;
Gorge road (36 inch storm sewer
Laird avenue to south Borough line);
Grenmount avenue; Jefferson avenue
(Lawton to Lafayette avenues); Lin
coln avenue (Anderson avenue to west
Borough line); Main street; Oakwood
avenue and Walker street (lateral
sewer).
Daniel Mulhern, a local contractor,
stated that the Anderson avenue curb
was not laid according to specifica
tions in front of his property and that
the contractor had failed to lower
the curb as requested; to make possi
ble a driveway into the property. Mr.
Mulhern claimed that the specifica
tions made it necessary to set the
granite curb on a 6 inch concrete base
and that this was not done in front
of his property as he observed the
work while it was being done and
asked the inspector about it. The
inspector according to Mr. Mulhern’s
statement at the time knew little
about the specifications. The Mayor
thought the matter should be looked
into. Mr. Mulhern offered to pay the
cost of digging up part of the street
to prove the truth of his statements.
Councilman McDonald substantiated
what Mr. Mulhern said in regard to
the request the curb be lowered to
permit a driveway and stated he per
sonally had asked Mr. McClave to see
that the contractor complied with the
request. John J. McGarry of Edge
water was the contractor on the job
and a Mr. Kenery the Borough’s in
spector. The matter was left in the
hands of the Road Committee.
Several residents of Lincoln avenue
including Mr. Steiner, Mr. Scheick,

DINNER-DANCE OF ENGLEWOOD
CLIFFS CIVIC CLOD ONE OF OEST IN
' HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION
Over One Hundred Guests Present to Enjoy Fine Evening
—Many Prominent Personages Present, Including
Congressional Candidates—Aims and Purposes of the
Civic Club Explained.
The annual dinner-dance of the ]
Civic Club, held at Fort Richard on
Monday night, surpassed every ex
pectation. One hundred guests en
joyed an excellent chicken dinner
prepared by “mine host Richard,”
and served at tables charmingly dec
orated with apple blossoms and
pretty crepe paper hats.
Civic Club pennants hung on the
pillars and garlands of apple bios
soms, magnolias and forsythia bright
ened the entire room.
At the long guest table were seated
Honorable Randolph Perkins, member
of the House of Representatives; B.!
Duncan McClave, former Bergen
County Republican County Commit
tee Chairman, and aspirant to the
office of member of the House; Black
of Ridgewood, former opponent of
Senator Mackay; Mayor Herbert
Jenkins; Wm. S. Corker, manager of
the Fort Le$ Sentinel, and the of
ficers of the club—the president, Mr.
E. Bronte with Mrs. Bronte, the sec
retary, Mrs. Lutz with Mr. Lutz, the
treasurer, Mr. Haaker, and last but
not least the very clever toastmaster,
Mr. Tom Clendinen and Mrs. Clen
dinen.
Mr. Clendinen spoke briefly about
the high aims and purposes of the
Civic Club and extended a welcome
to everyone who is heart and soul
for the welfare of the borough. Then
with a few words of praise for the
popular president, Mr. E. Bronte, he
called upon him to speak. Mr.
Bronte tactfully made a short speech
of welcome, saying that the members
could listen to their president at any
time, but that the privilege of making
speeches at this time belonged to the
distinguished guests of honor. He
repeated Mr. Clendinen's welcome
and thanked the guests for their
presence. Mayor Herbert Jenkins
was next called upon, and after call
ing attention to the fact that the ef
fort of centuries had been rewarded
and the North Pole reached by Byrd,
the aviator, as well as by his prede
cessor, Peary, he took up the subject
of civic affairs and the big opportu
nities that are open to the Civic Chib
if its members and the Council can
co-operate and work together to help
solve the many problems that wil

A
FREEHOLDERS CHANGE
THEIR ROAD POLICY
Pass Resolution Establishing 30
Feet as Minimum Width of
County Roads Instead
of 24 Feet.
Some years ago the county of Ber
gen established a policy relative to
the improvement of county roads, fix
ing the limit of the paved portion at
24 feet, while the co-operation of vari
ous municipalities was invited to ex
tend such pavement from curb to
curb, and which in some cases many
of them did.
How'ever, realizing that the county
is rapidly growing, and that, due to
the great increase in traffic on the
county roads brought about by con
stant changing in freight and passen
ger transportation, the gradual aban
donment of street car railways, the
opening of the vehicular tunnel in the
near future, and the projected con
struction of the Hudson river bridge,
conditions now make it increasingly
imperative to construct and recon
struct roads of sufficient width, and
to widen those already reconstructed
to meet this condition the Board of
Freeholders therefore, at their meet
ing held at Hackensack on Wednes
day, passed a resolution declaring
that all roads to be constructed or re
constructed in future be 30 feet wide,
and be of the same type as designed
for the original improvement.
Further provisions in this new reso
lution, briefly summarized, are to the
effect that the various municipalities
prior to construction or reconstruc
tion install or cause to be installed
the necessary gas, water and sewer
mains and their connections, and
sidewalks where necessary.
Heretofore, when municipalities
widened a county road pavement,
they stood the cost, less the 24 feet.
Hereafter, they shall bear the cost in
excess of 30 feet, and shall pay for
the same in accordance with an
agreement to be entered into between
the municipality affected and the
county.
The resolution also recites that an
amount of not less than 10 nor more
than 20 per cent per annum of the
bond budget for roads be set up in
every fiscal year until no longer re
quired for the widening of the present
county roads.
It was explained that the county
contemplated widening every road
now under 30 feet in width. The re
construction will not, however, affect
improvements now actually under con
tract.
Mr. and Mrs. Mulligan of
Palisade, Wed 35 Years,
Never Apart Two Hours
Mrs. Agnes Mulligan, of Palisade,
the well-known real estate operator,
will celebrate her forty-fifth anniver
sary in the real estate business on the
4th of July, though the real date falls
on a day in June. Mrs. Mulligan is
now proud of being sixty-three, and
is still active in her work, as witness
her remarkable efforts in developing
Palisade Gardens along Palisade ave
nue. She was for many years quite
active in portions of the Bronx, New
York city, and other points suburban
to the great metropolis.
“I want to celebrate my forty-fifth
birthday in real estate in a befitting
manner,” Mrs. Mulligan said to the
Palisadian this week. “I think I
would like to join Palisade or the bor
ough in whatever it undertakes on
July 4.”
Mrs. Mulligan has been married
thirty-five years, also, and speaks of
an unusual incident of her life which
probably cannot be matched any
where. She and Mr. Mulligan have
never left each other as long as two
hours at one time during this period.
The Mulligans were for many years
intimate friends of Judge Alton B.
Parker who recently died. They were
speaking to him upon one occasion
when the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Mul
ligan had never been separated for as
long as two hours, when the Judge
laughingly asked Mr. Muligan, “How'
have you stood it?”
Auto Accident
• A slight accident occurred Monday
on Main street near Lemoine avenue,
Fort Lee, when the cars driven by
Robert G. Campbell, 69, of Palisades
Park, and William D. Newberg, of
Westwood, both going east on Main
street, collided.
Plans Four Stores
Harry Barber, real estate operator
of Grantwood, plans to build foui
stores on the corner of Anderson and
Greenmount avenues. This commer
cial building will cost approximatelj
$40,000.
The following Associated Press dis
patch, which appeared in most of the
New York papers on Sunday, fur
nished a very startling piece of news
for this section:
MILWAUKEE, May S (AP).-Dr.
Vincent Poole, said to be a prominent
physician of Edgewater, N. J., was
today named in a first degree mur
der warrant issued at Waukesha,
charging that he was the driver of
an automobile which killed four-year
old Marian Becker.
The driver of the car fled from the
scene yesterday afternoon, pursued
by highway employes, authorities
learned.
Dr. Poole, who had been visiting
his mother in Germantown, Wis,
and his brother in Milwaukee, left
this city for his home in the East and
police are seeking him.
Dr. Poole voluntarily surrendered to
the Cliffside police on his return Sun
day night from Milwaukee, Wis., when
his wife told him that Wisconsin au
thorities had wired directions for his
arrest on a charge of murder In the
first degree, and he was released on
his own recognizance.
On Tuesday last Governor Blaine of
Wisconsin signed extradition papers
to return Dr. Poole from his home on
Palisade avenue in Grantwood to
Waukesha county, Wisconsin, where
the fatal accident occurred.
According to reports from Milwau
kee, the Becker girl, a farmer’s daugh
ter, had been playing in a ditch off
the road near the town of Waukesha
when the car thought to have been Dr.
Poole’s approached. Playmates said
that the driver of the car swerved ofT
the road, striking the child and Infix
ing fatal injuries.
After the accident there was a
spectacular chase of 20 miles. The
car is said to have exceeded 70 miles
an hour and once left the road, crash
ing through a fence into a farmer's
field and then back to the road. Pur
suers included highway employees
who followed in. department automo- TT5*
biles. Although they failed to over
take the fleeing auto, the license num
ber was secured and the driver traced
through the highway department rec
I ords. Mrs. Poole says:
"All that I know about it Is that
Dr. Poole did not, does not, and prob
ably will never know how the acci
dent occurred.” She said that the doc
tor was driving from his mother’s
home in Germantown on his way to
his brother’s house in Milwaukee, Fri
day night, when the accident is said
to have happened. The car he was
driving belonged to his brother, ac
cording to Mrs. Poole.
The report was that the car was
driven at a terrific rate of speed,,
crashing through a fence, and had at
tained a speed of 70 miles an hoar.
Mrs. Poole says that is entirely er
roneous, as the car the doctor was
driving was an old Bulck, which could
not make much more than 30 miles
an hour.
Mrs. Poole also says that she had
received a telegram Saturday night
from Elmira, N. Y., informing her of
her husband’s arrival home Sunday.
She states that her husband learned
of the accident from her when she met
him at the railroad station. The first
report of the accident to reach her
was through the newspapers.
An officer from Wisconsin is ex
pected hourly to take Dr. Poole back
to answer the charge made against
him.
Tribute to Mrs. Elva Hall
In California Newspaper
In a lengthy article in the Pasa
dena (Cal.) Star-News, a beautiful
tribute is paid to the life and char
acter of Mrs. Elva M. Hall, mother of
Supervising Principal G. F. Hall, who
so recently passed away at her daugh
ter’s home in California.
Her pastor referred to her true
Chrstian character, her deep interest
i in the work of the church of which
i she had long been a member, and her
I constant attendance at church and
Sunday School services.
| Another friend in a character study
1 of her, has written at length of her
beautiful Christian character, her
prayerful life, her keen cultured mind
and large heart.
Despite her advanced age she had
kept, with singular vigor, the youth
ful spirit of her earlier years, kept in
touch with good literature and the
world’s happenings, and with her art
of repartee and her enthusiasm for
all good work. She was an interest
ing conversationalist and an agree
able, congenial companion to all the
young people whom she met.
Above all she was a good mother,
ideal in her relation to, and love for
her children, ever companionable,
sympathetic and ready with needed
advice.
The beautiful floral tributes and the
presence of many friends at her fu
neral services, testified to the high
esteem and affection held for her by
a large circle of friends.
Our supervising principal has the
sympathy of his many friends In his
deep loss and sorrow.
