TO DISCOURAGED THIEVES.
Prosecutor Intends Watching Junk
Dealers Who Receive Stolen Goods.


Amato Lanzetti, who keeps a junk shop
at No. GIG Monroe street, Hoboken, and
his wife We're tried in the General Ses-
sions Court this morning on an indict-
ment for receiving stolen goods. On No
vember 90 last year, William II. Atkin-
sons ship yard, No. "a Fourteenth street,
and Isaac Ingleson's wood yard, at First
and Jefferson streets, were broken into
and 9 lot of brasses stolen. The thieves
even unscrewed the brass lubricators from
the engine in Atkinson's place and car
ried them off.
The Hoboken police learned that the
robberies were committed by two boys
named Henry Eggenberger and Leonard
Alberts and arrested them. The boys con-
fessed the crime and said they had sold
the brass to the Lanzettis for $3.50. There
were forty pieces of brass, the intrinsic
value of which was $iS, to say nothing
of the damage resulting from their re-
moval.
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle in
opening the case, said that the State was
particularly desirous of stopping the en-
couragement of thieves by junk dealers
who bought their plunder. Mr.. Atkinson
and Mr.. Ingleson testified that the
brasses were stolen. The boys, Eggenber-
ger and Alberts, told the story of steal
ing the brass and selling it to Lanzetti.
AS there was no evidence that Mrs Lam
zetti had taken any part in the purchase
the case against her was abandoned.
Detective Fallon testified that he went
to the junk shop two days after the rob
berry but could not find the brass. For
mer Judge Hoffman, who defended Ian
zetti, argued from this that his client
ought to be acquitted. The case was
given to the jury at recess.

The progress of man is one long
struggle for independence, a struggle
for freedom, struggle to get out of
the power of other men. No matter
how we'll intentioned the wielder of
the power may be, the person over
whom it is welded cannot reach a
healthy development or enjoy the full
measure of existence in that condition.
Lincoln expressed fundamental truth
when he declared that no man was
good enough to govern another. The
principle underlying it all is that when
a man is in the power of another he
cannot reach his highest estate.
In the domain of intellect all systems
which place one set of men in the
power of another set we're failures. Alb
solute freedom was necessary. In the
domain of religion absolute freedom
was found to be the only healthy condi-
ton. In the domain of government
mankind came up through all manner
of experiments in the way of limiting
power and preventing its use. but
these systems were all failures. FL
nally it was recognized that absolute
political freedom was the only true basis
for the organization of the human So
ciety.

Objectionable power than q power that
controls the bread we eat, the clothes
