HUCKsTER MAKES
COMPLAINT = IS
NABBED HIMSELF
City Sealer Discovers 'BusheI"
Basket Seven Quarts
Shy.

People in glass houses should not
throw stones, is a proverb that IL ad-
hered to by Max kleinberg, a local
huckster, who stables on Prince street,
would have been the means of savins
him a great deal of annoyance and
possibly $25. The first scene of the
little incident that will teach this
man to be more careful in the future
was laid in The First Precinct Police
Court this morning. The closing scene
win likewise be in the police court.
Weinberg complained to Judge Hahn
that a commission merchant in Com
merce street had Cheated" him by
selling him a barrel of 'specked" APP
pies. City Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures John H. Sullivan, and one of his
inspectors, George Bosch, were in the
courtroom at the time attending to a
complaint against a dishonest dealer.
When the two officials heard Klein
berg's story they Immediately became
interested and looked the complainant
over very carefully. There was some-
thing in his appearance that did not
strike the sealer and his inspector ia
vorably. Said Sullivan: George, I
have a bunch that we can get the
goods on tins complainant. Let us go
out to inspect his wagon" The men
did, n on examination oun that
there were a complete set of short
measure baskets in use by the huck-
ster
A basket supposed to measure a
bushel was just seven quarts shy. The
eight-quart and the t%en-quart baskets
were each a quart shy, and the two
quart measure was "phony"-it had an
inside ring that only an experienced
person could detect.
The measures were confiscated and
are now in the sealer's office in the
City Hall. The complaint against the
complainant will be drawn up today.
Another complaint against another
merchant will also be entered on the
books this afternoon. Abraham Gill
man, of S7S Avon avenu a grocer, will
be charged with selling a three-and-a-
half-pound package of sugar that
weighs just five ounces less than it
should.
Inspectors Pupiella and Franz con-
fiscated two of these packages from
about a hundred that the man had
his Shelves. 1t is customary among
grocers to have prepared sugar In
observation-disclosures packages, and
it has been the experience of the
weights and measures department that
very often the packages do not contain
the proper weight. For that reason the
inspectors were ordered to keep watch
on all grocers that are accustomed to
so sell their sugar. Besides being five
ounces short, the sugar is wrapped in
Il paper bag that weighs at least an
ounce, according to the sealer.

SENATE KILLS MUNICIPAL
EMPLOYEES PENSION BILL.
[From q staff correspondent.

TRENTON, April 13.-Assembly bill
No. 500. a tenure of office act, apply
ing to first and second-class cities and
having special reference to employees
of boards of health, was advocated by
Fielder and passed by the Senate.
Assembly bill No. 56S, providing for
pensions for employees of municipalities
after thirty years of active service,
was opposed by Gebhardt, who said
that an employee who had been In
the public service for thirty years had
been paid long enough at the public
expense. The bill was absolutely ridicu-
lous. Nichols agreed with Gebhardt.
He said that thousands of men were
hungry for public places and as UNI
willing to retire from them as they
were eager to get them. Such legisla-
ton had a tendency to create an aris-
tocracy of office-holders in this coun-
try. The Senate killed the bill.

SENATE AMENDS
BILL To RETIRE
AGED GUARDSMEN
Change Mandatory COurt-mar-
tial Provision-Measure
Must Go to House.
rFrom a staff Correspondent

TRENTON, April Ex-senator Edge
called up the military retirement bill,
Assembly No. 49s, which had been laid
over at mis- request, pending a proposed
amendment, submitted the amendments
this morning.
Edge said the object of the amend
ments was to make the bill constitu-
tional.
The present bill provided for a court
martial hearing to get a man out of
the National Guard. He was opposed
to this principle, but he had attempted
to amend the bill so as to exclude from
its provisions the officers of the line
and the staff officers. But he contended
that the head of any military depart
ment should have the privilege of
choosing its own military family.
Court Martial Bitter Medicine.
The Senate should consider that the
commander of every regiment in this
State, of both brigades. and the division
commanders, were against the passage
of this bill. Surely they should have
something to say about the military
legislation of his State. The court
martial provision in the bill certainly
was, Edge said, bitter medicine"
Just to get the words "64 years. in
the bill this court-martial was asked
for. There was only one a General
Howard, in the guard who was over GA
years of age. 1t was a distinction to
have him in the guard. The bill did not
touch him, but since 1t did not, where
was n need of this legislation. He
asked the support of the Senate for his
amendments.
The amendments were lost. Yeas
Brown, Cornish, Edge, Hand, Johnson,
Leavitt, Plummer, Price and Fitzher-
bert. Nays-Fielder. Frelinghuysen,
Gaunt, Lewis, Low, Nichols, Bradley,
Silzer, Osborne, Alderman and Prince.
Edge offered an amendment to which
he thought there would be no oppo-
sition. 1t merely. he said, removed the
mandatory provision in the bill.
Silzer said the amendment practically
destroyed the bill.
Edge retorted that things had come
to a strange pass when the Senate
would not leave it to the governor, who
was the commander-in-chief, to say
whether OF not a court-martial should
be called. The amendment was adopted
8 to z.
Edge wished to be further quoted as
saying that the opponents of his amend
ments to the retirement bill had found
it necessary to send for President
Alderman, who had recently taken the
oath as governor to act during Gov
ernor Wilson's absence in Indiana, and
vast hen sitting in the executive chair
to come to the Senate chamber and vote
against the amendments, thereby cast
ing the deciding vote.

HAD ALREADY BEEN FINED
BY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Complaints and Fines Under
Different Ordinances.

The wheels of justice in the First
Precinct Police Court were a bit
clogged today when the Board of
Health stated TO Judge Hahn that a
fine had already been collected from
Otto Ekart. a milkman, on a charge
of selling milk that was not up to the
standard. Judge Hahn was in ignor-
ance of the case and demanded to
know who had found the man guilty.
Mr.. Young, on behalf of the health de-
partment, stated that Ekart admitted
his guilt at the health Office and then
paid a fine of $50 and costs.
Deputy Clerk Elmer Freeland, upon
examining the complain. found that it
called for a fine of SIS. Here Judge
Hahn halted and demanded an expla-
nation Of the case. According to the
health ordinances milk must contain
II per cent. solids and this was vio-
lated by Ekart. Inspector Sharwell, OF
the health Department, had made the
arrest. He averred to the court that
Ekart had signifed a willingness to
plead guilty. and the fine. according to
the provision of the State law of 500.
was imposed, although the complaint
was made under the city ordinance.
nc AiOLt6Ss LOU, was III Inc OllCc Oh
the health department. Clerk Freeland
complained that he had difficulty with
the experts on just such cases as this
when his books We're examined, and
demanded that the money should be
collected in the criminal court.
At the conclusion of the Ease JFge
Hahn found that the department of
health had been bringing complaints
under city ordinances and collecting
fines as prescribed by the State depart
ment. This eannot be done, as the
fines in each case are different. In
spector Sharwell also stated that
Ekart had been fined SIS two months
g on a similar complaint, and as
this was his second offense he was
fined $50 and costs. Judge Hahn stated
that he would look after the matter
at E later date.
