Assemblyman Berg Busy
Drafting a Bill to Prehibit
Them From Pleading In
Private Cases
AIMED AT spEER AND yIcKERs
THESE TWO HUDSON OFFICIALS
HAVE AROUSED MUCH CRITI-
oIsM BY THEIR OUTSIDE PRAc-
TICE

Assemblyman Herman A. Berg is ser
iousiy considering the advisability of
drafting a bill for presentation to the
Legislature having for its object the rs
sbriction of Prosecutors of the Pleas and
their assistants from appearing as eoun-
sci for litigants in any court of the coun-
ty in which they are representing the
State.
The bill is primarily aimed at Prose
cutor William H. Speers, of Hudson,
who. until recently. appeared as counsel
for the Public Service Corporation in
several important cases until the Hudson
County Bar Association strongly criticiz-
ed his conduct Then Mr.. Speer took a
fip-fap course and appeared in the role
as counsel for the plaintiffs in several
cases against the Public Service Corpo-
ration
Recently Assistant Prosecutor George
H. Vickers appeared in Recorder STAN
toms court, Hoboken. and strenuously
opposed the extraction of prisoner who
was indicted in Queens County, Long Is
land The appearance of an Assistant
Prosecutor as counsel for a defendant in
criminal proceedings was the straw that
broke the camers back. Mr.. vickers
withdrew from the case, but not until
his conduct had aroused storm of crit
icism from lawyers.
Mr.. Berg intends to consult the lead
ing members of the Hudson County Bar
Association before preparing his bill for
the purpose of obtaining their views on
the subject He says that he does not
consider it fair to the legal profession
for any Prosecutor of the Pleas or his
assistants to appear in court as counsel
for any htigant Officials should devote
all their tirae to the offices to which they
were appointed. II they do not receive
sufficient compensation to enable them
to do 50, Mr.. Berg contends. their sala-
ries should be increased. Prosecutor
Speer receives 81, 800 yearly. while his
assistant is given $5,0oe. Their salaries
are larger than any others holding SINH
lar positions throughout the State, ex-
cept those in Essex County. The sal
aries, it is claimed, are ample to enable
the Prosecutor and his assistant to re
frain from appearing in court on matters
other than those in which the State is
interested.

ENGINEER BILL OPPOSED

Assemblyman Bierck's bill providing
for the licensing of stationary engineers
has received the Newark Board of
Trades stamp Of disapproyal, because it
is claimed it would infiet undue hard
ship on manufacturers and business rem
who are compelled to use steam power.
The argument is advanced that the own
ers of fashionable fat houses could not
afford the expense Of an experienced en-
gineer to heat and operate the elevators
in such houses, which they would be COM
PEELED to do if the Bierck bill becomes a
law.
Another reason advanced for opposing
the Biefck bill is that manufacturers and
others now employing men to operate
stationary engines would be compelled to
engage only licensed men. and that the
examination would be SO rigid that less
than one-half of the men now employed
could successfully stand the test. For
this reason there would not be enough
licensed men to supply the demand, and
would result in closing down of many
shops until licensed men could be pro-
cured.
The stationary engineers bill has been
before the Legislature for many years,
and has always aroused storm of oppo-
sition Last year it passed the House,
but met defeat in the Senate. The
tBierck bin is now in the hands of a COM
mittee and It's fate is problematical.

and Eva Petroski Aged
Ter Caught shoplifting on
Newark Avenue
THEIR THOROUGH EQUIPMENT
EXTRAORDINARY DISPLAY OF
BOOTY FOUND IN THEIR
HOMES OF WHICH THEIR PAR
ENTs WE'RE AWARE BUT UN-
MINDFUL.

Two pretty, but somewhat i'll dressed
little girls were arrested last night as
shop-lifters. They are demure looking
and no one could possibly suspect that
they had for some time been carrying on
goods were found concealed in myster--
Gus pockets inside their frock and wraps
and the police are mystifed as to how
they could possibly have gotten away
with some of the plumber found at their
home, such as even ornamental parlor
lamps. and which they admitted they
had stolen.
The two young girls are Sophie jan
kuski. nine years old. and Eva Petroski,
ten years old. Both hive at No. Id Es-
sex street, tenement house in the neigh
borhood of the Sugar House. Their re-
speetiye fathers are employed in that es-
tablishment. They admitted that they
knew thar the girls were bringing such
articles home to their surprise. but they
did not ask where they came from.
The arrest of the two little girls fol-
lowed an attempt to steal certain goods
from R. Schuer's store, on Newark ave-
nue., while the store was filed with GUS
toners. A clerk says he saw one of the
girls take small cream cheese and deity
conceal it in pocket on the inside OF
her wrap. A policeman was called and
the two girls were searched. Each had
a fahcy leather pocket-book and several
after dinner cups and saucers concealed
in pockets in her skirts They admitted
that they hod stolen the articles from
stores on Newark avenue.

was sent to the house. He found num-
Der of new school-books. cases and.
ctraps. handsome parlor lamps, rubber
shoes and articles of china and glass and
jewelry, which. it was admitted, were
stolen from different stores.

inal Court this morning and remanded
