MAKE ATTACK
ON M CARTER
AssembIyman TumuIty Says At
tOrney General Serves COrpOr-
atiOnS Rather Than People

TRENTON, Mar. 14:-Assembly-
man Tumulty, of Hudson county,
made sharp attack on Attorney
General McCarter in the house yes
terday afternoon The bill under
consideration was one by Senator
Wakelee, of Bergen, providing that
municipal bonds about to be issued
should first have the approval of the
attorney general.
Tumulty said that the attorney
general was not fit to pass on the Sc
curities of a city, because he would
not act for the state, but for some
corporation. He charged that he re-
fused to help Jersey City on quo
warranto proceedings in its fight with
the Public Service Corporation. He
charged that the attorney general
had too long been serving two mas
ters and it was time he was brought
to account by the people. He said
he proposed to show up the attorney
generals conduct before long. 1t was
impossible to serve God and Mann
mon at the some time the assembly
man affirmed.
Mr. Barber defended the attorney
general and said his record and char
acter were above reproach.
Tumulty said he would give Barber
chance to defend his friend later.
Barber said he was ready to an
swer any attack. upon any state Of
fetal at any time. The Wakelee bill
was overwhelmingly beaten, only re-
ceiving four votes.
