Can't Cure All Ills,
Says Mr.. Fettinger, of
Commission Movement

Theodore s. Fettinger. of the Gin
ton Hill Improvement Association.
addressed the members of the Essex
Civic League at 211 Halsey street last
night on ''Newark's Need for q Com
mission Government" Mr.. Fettinger
declared the commission government
was one of the big things Newark
and every other progressive city re-
quired.
"Many prominent men have found
that there is no use trying to do any
thing to improve the clumsy old sys-
tenn: 1t has got to be changed,
said Mr.. Fettinger. THE object
of commission government is to
let the people into their own gov
eminent, so the voters can choose
their own servants and judge them
fairly. There are many things In
favor of commission government and
few against 1t. 1t Is a movement for
business methods in the great corpo-
ration which we call the city OF New
ark. The chief objection is that it
puts so much power in the hands of
1--WE men; but those men have to do
everything right In the open, and the
people can call a halt whenever they
don't like 1t.
ssCommission government will not
cure all our troubles; 1t won't remake
men, but 1t will make 1t possible for
men to be better than they are now,
and that Is a step ahead"
Thomas Walker in his remarks
spoke of the initiative, referendum
and recall in connection with COM
mission government
The regular meetings will be omit
ted on Christmas Eve and New Years
Eve, and the next meeting will be
held January 6. The topic will be
"Commission Government; Its Growth
West and East of the Mississippi"

Man Accuses Woman of
Stealing His Diamonds; She
Charges He Annoyed Her

Considerable excitement was &C.
casioned at the Park place tube sta
tion shortly before noon today by
charges and counter charges enter
ed into by a well-dressed woman
who said she was Mrs Rosa Wolf
and man who said he was Lazar
Sternberg. The latter charged Mrs.
Wolf with having stolen his. dia-
monds. The woman asked for police
protection on the grounds that she
was being molested. Special Officer
D. c. Mcneil took both to police
headquarters and later the trouble
was aired before Judge Simon Hahn
in the First Precinct Court.
Officer Mcneil told Judge Hahn
that he had boarded the train, bound
for Newark, at Exchange place and
that there was no trouble on the
train. When the train reached the
Park place station, Sternberg Justify
called for police, Mcneil says. He
found Sternberg in the centre of a
large crowd of persons, angrily ac-
cusing Mrs. Wolf of stealing some dia-
monds. Mrs. Wolf, on the other
hand, was asking for protection from
Sternberg, who she said had been
annoying her
Before Judge Hahn later 1t devel-
oped that Sternberg had followed
Mrs. Wolf to this city from New
York and that the differences be-
tween them was the outgrowth of
litigation pending in the chancery
Court,
Judge Hahn warned Sternberg
about any further annoyance of Mrs.
Wolf and then set the matter down
for hearing on Tuesday morning,

Both sides asked for an opportunity

two hours were consumed in the ex-
animation, after which the referee
heard objections to the form of the

submitted by both sides were dis
allowed because of defects or tech
nicalities. The claim OF the Roseville
Trust Company, however, for $6S, 700
was allowed by Referee Adams de-
spite the objection of Attorney Ros-

SMITH INDICTED
AS EMBEzzLER
Charged With Taking Over
$1,000 Deposited Dec. 18,
1of1-Prosecutor Silent.

Prosecutor Louis Hood today re-
fused to discuss the indictment hand
ed in yesterday by the grand jury
against Raymond 2. Smith, former
treasurer of the wrecked Roseville
Trust Company. Mr.. Hood said he
was not ready at this time to discuss
the bank affairs in any particular.
1t was learned that the indictment
charges an embezzlement of an
amount In excess of 5000 and has to
do with transaction at the wrecked
bank on December IS, 1911, two years
ago today. 1t is understood that on
that date a large deposit was made
in a savings ACCOUNT at the bank, but
after the amount of the deposit had
been entered IN the bank book of
the depositor it got no further as far
as the depositor was concerned. In
other words 1t was not placed in the
books of the bank to the credit of
the depositor.
Instead 1t is understood that 1t was
converted by Smith to his own use
and that no record OF the more than
SIS, 900 appears any place on the books
of the bank. Who the depositor is
could not be learned.
The reason for rushing the indict-
ment through yesterday Is due to the
fact that entertainments of this char
acter are not liable to criminal prose-
cution after q lapse of two years,
and as that period of time would be
UP today the indictment was rushed
ahead of the number of others that
will be found against persons having
dealings with the wrecked bank
within a few days.
From an unofficial source 1t was
learned today that upwards of 100 In
stances have been discovered at the
bank where deposits OF large amounts
of money had been embezzled in a
similar manner. In each instance 1t
is said the embezzlement took place
at a date prior to December is, 1911,
and that, therefore, under the law OF
limitation, Smith, or whoever the
party or parties. that received the de-
positor's money and failed to credit
| 1t to him on the books of the bank
are not now liable to prosecution.
But 1t Is also unofficially asserted
that there are likewise 100 or more
instances where the alleged embezzle-
ment took place within the past two
years. In oil these instances 1t Is ex-
pected indictments will be found
against Smith or other employees OF
the bank.

aid of these the principle of the pull

Btrated Mr.. Heilig gave many in
stances of lives saved by the use OF
this mechanical respirator. Although
Il has been In general use only about
two years, IL has already been the
means OF saving hundreds of lives. It
is used to resuscitate partially
asphyxiated victims. 1t Is adapted to
such general uses as resuscitation of
the apparently drowned, persons
overcome by the inhalation of dele
FERROUS gases. fumes. smoke. etc. and
persons whose lung action has tenn
porarfly ceased by reason of electric
shock
Mr. Heilig explained that the five
machines owned by the Public Serv-
ice Corporation of New Jersey were
available for use by the general pub
lie. There is one machine in each of
the following cities: Newark, Jersey
City, Paterson; Trenton and Camden.
Although the pulmotor has been In
use in New Jersey onlys about one
year 1t has been successfully used on
at least five occasions.
