GETS SENTENCE.
FOR 29 YEARS
Mike Serhe Pleaded Guilty
TO AssauItina a Little
Girl in This City.
AFTER LEGAL ADVICE
Judge DAILY Particularly Bit
ter in Dsnouncins thu
Character of the Crims.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, June 28:-De-
scoring him numerically, Judge Pc
scribing the man as fiend and
ter F. DAILY today sentenced Mike
Serbo, of Perth Amboy, to twenty
nine years in states prison, follow
ing the mans plea of guilty to a car
nal assault upon Lizzie Garick, of
Perth Amboy, who is seven years
OF age, on the night of May 8, last
Serbo entered a similar plea on
June %, but Judge DAILY refused to
allow such plea on charge of this
nature, unless the prisoner had had
the advice of counsel Thomas
Brown, of Perth Amboy, was assign
ed and stated in court today that he
had advised the defendant to enter
similar plea, whereupon he did SO.
Judge DAILY, in passing sentence,
said that the crime was such horri-
BILE and unnatural one that he had
assigned two members of the bar,
Lawyers Thomas Brown and Stephen
F. Somogyi, both of Perth Amboy, to
investigate the case and consult with
the prisoner In regard to his plea of
guilty. He also stated two physicians
had examined Serbo to determine his
sanity and had reported to the court
and Prosecutor Booraem that Serbo
was fully aware of the knowledge of
his crime, the plea he entered, and
also his mental condition is perfectly
normal.
Judge Daily held that 1t Is the duty
of the law to protect society and the
removal of this flend from natural
surroundings was the only positive
course. Judge Daily stated he had
talked with the girl and could not
see how any man, drunk or other
wise, could commit such an assault
upon such little child.
The crime is of the character which
aroused the legislature a few years
ago to increase the penalty to thirty
years in prison. Judge DAILY recog-
nized the plea of guilty by taking
one year from the maximum pen
atty.
According to the story told De-
tective Peltier by the little girl,
Serbo, who Is about thirty years old,
met her outside of a saloon in this
city and offered her a few pennies to
go on an errand for him. He fol-
lowed until she reached a lonely
spot, and then assaulted her He
the earrings from her ears. The
girl told her story at once, and Ser
bo was arrested Immediately 1t is
said he was in the act of throwing
the earrings away when captured.

WILSON WOULD
HELP ALASKA
Makes Statement on Recent
Land Decision.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Trenton, June 28:-Basing his
views upon his recent visit to the
state of Washington, Governor
Wilson today gave out a statement
upon the recent decision of the de-
partment of the interior against
some of the principal claims of coal
lands In Alaska. He declared that
the question was not so much one
of conservation of national resources
as of territorial self government. He
said.
My recent visit to the state Of
Washington has greatly enhanced my
interest in this particular question.
1 know how deeply important it is
to the people both Of Alaska and of
the northwest in general that the
question of the use of the coal lands
of Alaska should be settled and set
tied very definitely The many legiti-
mate interests have suffered in the
northwest from the long delay, how
ever necessary 1t may have. been in
the settlement of this question.
Realize Significance.
"The whole country realizes the
significance of this particular matter
but perhaps the country does not
realize the very great injustice that
is being done the people of Alaska
by Withholding from them a terri
torial form of government. This
matter need not involve in any way
the question of conservation of the
| resources of Alaska for the national
government. 1t is question of gen.
eral government. The people of
Alaska are clearly entitled to terri
torial self-government and 1t Is of
the utmost Importance to their well
fare and to the whole progress and
temper of life in the northwest that
1t should be granted to them.
ut Is greatly to be desired that
public opinion should concentrate
itself upon this matter with energy
| and intelligence, and that congress
should act in the liberal spirit of
those who would promote the liberty
of American citizens whoever they
are, particularly when they are living
| under circumstances or strain d1tii-
| Guilty.

WILSON ON THE

Says He Is Not Surprised at
Deisat of Commission

CHANGE BOUND TO COME
Surprised that Political
Leaders Should Take Such
Narrow gisW Of Subject.

Special TO the z FEN MING NE VS..
Trenton. Jpe 28.-Governor VIII
son, commenting upon the defeat Of
the commission government propo-
sitiOn in New Brunswick and Hobo
ken yesterday, said the result was
not surprising. Continuing, he
said:
The campaign was a very brief
one. The proposition was no doubt
a new one to large proportion of
the voters and It is not to be wander
ed at that fundamental changes of
this sort should require time to ac-
complish Friends OF be commits
sion form Of government now know
exactly what they have to contend
with and whom they have to contend
with. l cannot but regard it as
very unfortunate that the men re-
sponsible for the official organiza-
tion of the two great parties should
have shown themselves opposed to
this great measure, undoubtedly in
tended TO place in the hands of the
people the power to control their
own government. / am afraid that
in the hong run this opposition on
their part will be very hurtful to
their influence and reputation. They
will find that as opinion grows clear
and strong on this subject it will be-
gin to be felt that they acted in
their own interest and not in the in
terest of the people. This lineup is
extremely instructive and also very
seryiceable. 1t shows Just what
work remains to be done and just
how to do It.
There is only one instrument of
effective self-government and that is
the instrument of public opinion.
When that once declares itself, every
thing will be simplifed and the
friends Of commission government
have no need to be anxious about
the ultimate verdict of the votes of
our cities.

LEWIS STREET
TIME EXPIRES
No Official Test Made Yet
by Engineer.

Although two weeks test of the
Lewis street concrete Is at an end 1t
is not definitely known yet whether
or not the Hastings Pavement Com
pany will be permitted to proceed or
If it must do all of the work over
again. City Engineer Samuel j.
Mason has looked it over, but says
that no official test has as yet been
made. Until that has been done no
decision will be made and property
owners and residents along Lewis
street will continue indefinitely to
complain because wagons cannot be
hauled up in front Of their doors.
Such complaints have been numerous
of~late and some of them have even
reached the police.
At hearing two weeks ago. when
the concrete put on Lewis street by
the Hastings concern was adJudged
deficient In quality and quantity. two
weeks were allowed the concrete laid
to settle. At the expiration of that
time, which has now been reached,
an official examination of the con-
crete was to be made to determine
it's fitness as a proper foundation for
the pavement. If satisfactory, the
Hastings concern must lay one-inch
coat of rich cement and sand mix
ture over the concrete and then a
mortar bed about an inch in thick
ness.
1t is understood that the concrete
will be approved and that the work
will ~ resumed in a few days. Since
the public hearing the surface has
been routed with a mixture of pure
cement and water. Some of this has
helped to harden the mass and form
ed crust over it.
