YOUTHFUL DEpRAvITY.
Boy Thieves of Hoboken Take
Pride in Their Many
Misdoings.

s.What has come over the Juvenile pop
ulation of Hoboken? Are they all degen-
| erating?"
| The testimony of two youthful prisoners
led Recorder Edward Stanton to make
| the above remark from the bench this
morning. The boys, Henry Eggenburger,
IA years old, and Len Alberts, 1S years
old. were arrested as the outcome OF
numerous complaints of petty robberies
received by the local police. Detectives,
| investigating. traced three of the rob-
berries to the two boys, who admitted
their responsibility for dozen or more.
The methods of the youngsters were dar-
ing. They operated like old hands IN
the business. Factories and other build
ings were entered after dark ana mid
night trips to loot piers and other river
front property were made by them IN
| rowboats.
A noticeable feature of these robberies
is the pride the boys take in their wrong
doing. The two prisoners of this morning
were no exception in this respect Eggen-
burger testified that he lived at No Az
Dod street, West Hoboken, but that he
slept in freight cars for the past month
He said: s'I heard there was brass on the
boilers and machines in Inglesons WOOD
factory on Jefferson street, and me and
Albert went there last Sunday, got the
stuff and sold it to Quincy Mary for 3d.
We did the same thing at Atkinsons coal
ward. Another time we took the loan Of
a rowboat and rowed to a float, screwed
the brass off pile driving engine. Quincy
Mary gives US 81 for it. We also took
brass from Muller's factory on Paterson
avenue one night and sold that. l don't
remember how much we got for it. Me
and Albert and another boy named Mickey
Feeley nearly always. worked together. We
had no other pals. They call me White
because that's the color of my hadr.
never went in Fatam's place to steal We
found the door open once but didn't take
anything. There was whele box full of
good stuff there.
Fatam,s is a rubber goods concern on
Washington street Detectives Fallon
and Weinthal, who arrested the boys, ac-
cused them of robbing this place.
Alberts also testified.
I'm thirteen years old, but haven't
gone to school since me father died, five
years ago. I sleep most at me mothers
home, No "A Park avenue, and never
steal COAL"
The Recorder remanded the boys.
s'Guiney Mary whom the boys referred
to. is the wife of Antonio Marzetti,
downtown junk dealer. The two have
been arrested before for receiving stolen
goods. They will be taken in custody
again.

PARK SITE COMMITTEE MET.
No Action Was Taken--Hudson City
Merxbers ExpIaizsd.

The joint park site committees of the
Hudson City Business Mems Associa-
tion, the Twelfth Ward Improvement
Association and the Hudson City I'M
provement Association met at Architect
Won Arxs office in Palisade avenue last
night and discussed matters in connec-
tion with the efforts to secure the addi-
tion to and Improvement of the Ogden
avenue site and the Improvement OF the
old reservoir site. No definite action was
taken.
The Hudson City Improvement Associa-
tion members of the committee explained
why they had not before attended the
meetings of the committee. They said
they had not been empowered to take
any particular stand in the matter.
They were asked whether they propos-
ed to work for the addition to the Ogden
avenue site and the reservoir site at the
same time. There was considerable dis
cussion over this point, in which Dr.
Allen and Messrs Barber, ROLLS and
Holder took part. The Hudson City men
did not commit themselves except to say
that they would not favor spending any
money on the Ogden avenue site as IT now
stands,
