ALL THE GIRLS FAULT.
Charged with Bringing
GLASS Eyes Into the

Especial to 'srhe Jersey City News.'
TRENTON. Nov. 8, 1S97.-T. Lindner
Schultz, a young German dramatic author
and Manufacture of glass eyes, is on
trial in the United States Court in this
city for smuggling into this country over
1860 artificial eyes. He came over last
tune on the Holland American line from
Rotterdam.
On his arrival in this country the glass
eyes were found in a trunk containing his
clothing, under an alleged false bottom,
although counsel for the defendant deny
that it is q false bottom. The trunk is
in court. The bottom outside is round
ing, inside it is fiat with a lid lifting and
two inches of space under it. The eyes
We're seized and were sold by Marshal AL
colt for the government. They brought
about 10 cents apiece-far below their real
value.
The defendant is represented by Senator
William Daily of Hudson county. assisted
by Lawyer Valentine of this city. He was
on the stand when the court adjourned
for the day.
His story Is that he is in business with
his uncle. They had $4,000 finished glass
eyes to sell and some unfinished ones.
His uncle took half of them and went to
England to sell them and the rest were
ia ltie Jfuilh. when re DUuSnt Il tlShSl
at Leipsig for this country he got d trunk
label and left il with his mother to put on
his trunk. He then went TO Hanover and
other places to make sales and came on to
America without returning home.
He brought here samples of the unfin-
iShed eyes to secure orders. The maid at
his mothers in packing his clothes, put
them in the trunk containing the artificial
eyes instead of in his own truflk, and his
mother simply put the label on the trunk
containing the clothes. He did not get
track of his trunk until he got over here,
and then only knew it by the label on it,
as it was not his own personal trunk ard
he did not know the eyes were in it. The
case will be continued today.
Max Meyerhar1t pleaded guilty 10
smuggling and was fined $3.50.

Mr. Lucien d.. Fowler is undoubtedly the
right man for the place to which he mas
been appointed He has a vast store OF
knowledge regarding the topography OF
the city. He is an expert on city work.
and one of the most painstaking officials
the city has ever had. Fol- years. IN
deed through its active existence, MI
Fowler was Clerk of the Adjustment
Commission and practically is Engineer
and surveyor. In that position he won
golden opinions from all, not only by his
efficient service but by the obliging als-
position which he always displayed to-
wards those who had business with the
Commission.
That Mr.. Fowler will improve the state
Of things in the Engineering Bureau IS
more than likely. At any rate it is certain
that neither laNity nor abuse will exist
there under his administration. The work
of the city will be done swiftly, accurately
and honestly.
The report of the Committee of tnvesti-
CATION of the Street and Water Board
shows that the Bureau has been laboring
under serious disadvantages of late. h
work has outgrawn the force. This IS
easily understood when one considers the
vast number of improvements that awe
been made in recent years. It has be-
coms impossible to use methods as
tharoush as the best interests OF the city
require, under such pressure as has
weighed upon the Bureau. If Mr.. Fowler
is to realize all that is expected from him,
he must be given an adequate force at
once. Fl is really no economy to restrict
the payroll of the Bureau, for experience
shows that the money h saved is lost
tea-foid in leakages in the plans and
estimates hastily and insuficiently pre-
pared.

The members of the Hoboken Good

cussed questions pertaining to the city

the Executive Committee to offer sug-

attention of the club to the recomnnenda-
ton for endorsement of Samuel A. Bes-

authorities in enforcing the bicycle ordi-

restore him to his position of Deputy
Warden of the county almshouse. The
Veteran act of March IA, 1895, was
taken as the basis for the suit, Stewart
being an old Union soldier. He was
expelled by q resolution of the Board
passed in December last, the contention
made being that he was not a public
officer within the meaning of the Veteran
act.
The position, says Justice Dixon in the
opinion, SIS not one the term of which
is fixed by law, except that, when held
by an honorably discharged Union soldier,
sailor or marine, the statute OF March IA,
1895, fixes the term as lasting during good
behavior. The provision OF this act that
the incunnbents therein described shall
hold their offices or positions during good
behavior cannot be thWarted by the APP
pointing W by making the appoint
ment for a specified period
A similar decision is given in the cases
of George A. Lewis, bridgetender of the
Hackensack River bridge; Edward Wis
Snake Hill; William H. Buckrfdge, coo
in the penitentiary; Richard Carr, cook
at the ~almshouse; Thomas Lloyd, assist

The Court decides thai Norman L.
Rowe, who was appointed attorney of

does not come under the protection of
the Veteran act, because there is no law
creating the office.
