ENGINEER MONED
Must Appear Before Coroner to Tell
What He Knows of Accident.

j. w. Sheerin, the driver in charge
of engine No. 1147, Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which killed Petro
Stenko. twenty-five years old, of
Woodbridge, at Spa Springs, Sunday
night. as told in the NEWS yester-
day, has been ordered to appear be-
fore Coroner Harry Bishop, of this
city. and give testimony in regards
to the accident.
From a railroad man, it was learn
ed this morning, that although Sheer
in has been ordered TO appear before
Coroner Bishop he viii be able TO tell
little or nothing about the affair, for
it is said that after the engine struck
he body and threw it aside the train
kept right on its way, as the engineer
did not know that he had hit anyone
and the first tidings he had of the ac-
cident. was when he was notified to
appear before the coroner.
Engines of the 1147 class, it is
said. are of the heaviest kind owned
bv the Pennsylvania railroad, II
when they are going at full speed II
strike an object it is not often that
the engineer or fireman know any
thing about it, unless they happen to
see ahead and notice the object be-
fore it is hit. 1t was dark when
Stenko was killed.

MENHADEN BILL is
A QUESTIONABLE ONE
Different Views as to Whether 1t Is
for or Against the Fishing
Interests.

TRENTON, Mar. 6.-The house
committee on game and fish gave a
hearing yesterday afternoon on the
Hildreth bill, No. 179, repeating the
law compelling the menhaden fishing
steamers to take out a license. There
is a question whether this bill is for
or against the menhaden steamers,
called pirates" by many private fish
ermen. One view is that if the Hill
dreth bill is passed a former law will
become operative and the steamers
driven outside the three-mile limit to
fish. Others claim it will give the
steamers absolutely free rein.
Charles A. Shriner, secretary of the
state commission on salt water fish
ing. appeared and stated that the
commission would present its report
10 the legislature next week. He said
the report would deal with the mat
ter fully, and thought there was no
need for future hearings.
Mr.. Gibbs, chairman of the com
mittee, said that Mr.. Hildreth had
been anxious to have the bill report
ed, but the committee would hear
those present on the measure.
Walter e. Hathaway, representing
the fisheries company of New York.
said his company employed over 900
men with nine plants and Al steam
ers. He told of the hearings before
the governors commission, and offer
ed to submit that evidence to this
committee. He asked postponement
on this bill until the commission re-
port was submitted.
Mr.. Hathaway reaffirmed his dec
laration before the commission that
it was absolutely untrue that his
steamers catch food fish. Offered to
hermit the committee to assign any
person to its steamers for investiga-
ton on this subject. He claimed the
government had investigated the mat
ter and reported that practically nc
food fish were taken.
The speaker said that New Jersey
received $500 in licenses from the
menhaden steamers last year. He
claimed the law was not enforced, sc
that steamers from other states fish
ed free. otherwise the state would
have received nearly $4,000,
Mr.. Hathaway maintained tina
taking the past 80 years there hac
been practically no diminution in the
number of menhaden along the Jer-
sey coast.
Several others also spoke.

SMITH STREET PAVING.
Aldermen Passed the Ordinance on
Final Reading To Advertise.

The ordinance to pave Smith street
from State street TO the Central rail
road with c~reo-resinate wooden block
was passed by the Board of Alder
men last night on second and final
readings. and the street commission
err was directed to advertise for bids.
This settled the question raised by
Alderman Smith Il month ago when
the ordinance was laid oyer because
Mr.. Smith wanted to specify treat
ed wood block instead of "creo-res-
mate" but it was ''creo-resinate' in
the petition which was granted. A
petition with three signatures asking
for brick or asphalt was received at
the meeting two weeks ago.
Alderman Smith raised the ques-
ton last night as to whether the rate
of interest to be paid by the property
owners along the street could be lin
tied to five per cent. An effort was
made to reach City Attorney HON
mann by phone, but he could not be
located. A recess was taken and ar
investigation of other paving ordi
nauces was made. the outcome o
which was that the five per cent
clause was not added to the ordi-
nance.

LOCAL OPTION BILL Is
LOST IN THE ASSEMBLY
Continued from Page ~

must be solved right. If not, it will
pop up again, so We must face the
question, not run away from it. In
1880 the Republican party voted for
local option and almost Immediately
was voted out of power. That indi-
Gated that the people of New Jersey
did not want local option.
The next year the Werts law was
enacted and hat must have been the
law the people wanted, for it vas an
issue in that campaign. The Werts
law provided hal there should be To-
cal option as to the AMOUNT of the Ii
cense. The Werts law was declared
unconstitutional in the Thompson
case. At that time that law repre-
scented the best public sentiment and
there has beer no further expression
on the subject since. For this rea-
son, it is the duty of the house to vote
not for local option, but for just what
the license fee shall be.
Would Breed Speak-Easies.
The Prohibitionists could not OBJ
ject to this proposition, because they
can, if strong enough, vote a prohibi-
ton license. Prohibition, Mr.. Martin
said, breeds ''speak-easies.' and for
that reason the real practical solution
of the liquor question is high license.
Our duty as Republicans is to stand
by this solution. Our party must
solve the problem, but it must be
done in a reasonable way. The safest
solution is to go back to the Werts
law and make it constitutional.
Mr.. Barber opposed the bill. He
agreed with Mr.. Martin that the ques-
ton must be met squarely and fairly.
He then attacked the principle of To-
cal option.
The bill then was advanced to third
reading. Mr.. Buck made a strong
defense of the measure. Messrs. Col
gate and Everett also spoke for it.
Messrs. Barber, Marelli, Berg, Biercll,
Heck, Perkins and Norris spoke
against it. Marelli told of the COZ
ditions prevailing in supposed-to-be
( Asbury Park, where prohibition was
a farce.
Mr.. Barber in his final speech made
a determined attack on the measure.
He said it vas wanted mainly by pro-
hibitionists, and would not solve the
liquor question. He charged that the
friends of the bill were lot consist
ent, for they were prohibitionists, yet
they were supporting a bill that
would continue the liquor traffic.
