Justice Bergen Agrees to Re

Krom n StalT Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, June 7.—The
nine deputies convicted of man
slaughter in connection with the kill
ing of two and wounding of many
others last January at Roosevelt
were sentenced today to serve not less
than two years nor more than ten in
^ State's prison.
Supreme Court Justice Bergen, who
presided at the trial, pronounced sen
tence. Of the ten men on trial, one
was acquitted, by direction of the
court. Sixteen other deputies, facing
the same charge, murder, are in the
county jail here, awaiting trial.
County Judge Peter F. Daly occu
pied a place on the bench alongside
Justice Bergen.
Attorney-General John W. Wes
erdt, who, with his assistant, Joseph
t tryker, prosecuted the case, moved
that sentence be pronounced on the
defendants. Joseph E Strieker,
counsel for the defendants, made a
stirring plea for leniency. He as
serted that during his experience as
a member of the liar he had known
of two cases where juries were com
pelled to flee from the court after
rendering their verdicts, and many
<ases where juries were in error in
their verdicts. He asserted that per
sonally he believed the defendants
guiltless, that the verdict was eon
tiary to the evidence, and that while
the jurymen had not been malicious
and wilful in returning the verdict,
they no doubt were in error.
He pointed out that the jury had
been brought from another county,
that the case really developed into a
fight between capital and labor, and
that some of the jurymen felt that it
was their duty to bring in a convic
tion, even though they believed some
of the strikers not guilty. Mr,
Strickler said that seven or eight of
the jurymen were members of labor
organisations and this, no doubt, had
ila effect.
“Middlesex county has learned a
lesson by this affair," said .Mr. Strick
ter. "So has the Slate of New Jersey,
l.ong prison terms won’t remedy the
situation any more than a short
term.''
In sentencing the defendants. Jus
tice Bergen let it he known that, In
bus opinion, the evidence was
strongly agalst the deputies. He said
there was no case since he had been
on the bench that had given him more
trouble than had this one.
"There is no doubt that that many
of the jurymen believed the crime
was committed under great excite
ment and this prompted them, I be
lieve, to return a verdict of a lesser
degree The fact that these strikers
were shot in the back showed plainly
that the shots were fired while they
were running away. From that it is
plain that the deputies were in pur
suit and were no* being fired upon.”
Immediately afterward'Mr. Strieker
announced that he would take an ap
peal. Justice Bergen then said he
would sit next Wednesday to release
the defendants on $2,500 bail pending
the appeal. The fifteen deputies who
ere awaiting trial will be released
the same day on $500 hail pending
trial during the September term of
court.

MORRISTOWN, June 7.—A motion
was made today before Judge George
S. Silzer to mark off for the term the
ease of Lewis C. Nichols, of Wharton, 1
against Jeremiah F. O'Brien, of New
ark. Elmer King, counsel for O'Brien,

Judge Silzer reserved decision un

The suit is for $10,000 against
O'Brien, employer of the deputies in

the strike he was beaten and kicked
so badly hv O'Brien's tpen that he

Turkish Minister of War Declares Straits Are as Impassable

ers Submarine Fleet Blocks Russian Offensive and Makes
Little of Italy’s Participation in the War.
Enver Pasha is termed the “man of destiny." It was he who drew the
Ottoman empire into the swirl of the European war. Brilliant, polished
by diplomatic service in Berlin, learned in warfare, notwithstanding his
comparative youthfulness (he is only thirty-three) through a victorious
campaign in Tripoli, a nephew by marriage of the sultan, and all-powerful
among the young Turks, he is the outstanding figure in Turkey today.
This, and the fact that the allies have Just begun a determined gen
eral offensive against the Dardanelles, give peculiar interest to the follow
ing interview with Enver Pasha, obtained bv Henry Wood, United Press
staff correspondent, who is now at Constantinople.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 7 (via Berlin, The Hague and London)—
"The Dardanelles today are impregnable as Gibraltar—more impassable
than at any previous time. Sedd-Ul-Rahr, which was destroyed by the
allies’ fleet, consisted merely of out-of-date fortresses which answered in
no way lo the exigencies of modern warfare and were' merely nominal

"In the meantime their places have*!
been taken by a complete system of

ample time to install these. They
have been constructed along the most
advanced lines for resisting every
possible phase both of land and sea
attacks, and of every possible arm
of modern warfare. The straits to
day are defended as never before. If
they can be forced, which I doubt, it
will only be at the cost of a sacrifice
that would only be Justified if their
passage constitutes the one supreme
end (if the entire war. Meanwhile, hy

no one pass them."
The man who addressed me was
Enver Pasha. Turkish minister of

tion on Watershed.
Special to the Keening Star.
PATERSON. June 7.—The attitude
of Paterson. Passaic and Montclair on
the development of the Wanaque
water system was framed in a set of
resolutions sdopted at a meeting of
representatives from the three mu
niciaplilies in the office of Mayor Rob
ert H. Fordyce today. The resolu
tions advocate the development of the
system under State supervision.
The resolutions, if carried out, may
mean a solution of the difficulty over
the development of the water supply
and permit Newark, with other mu
nicipalities. to draw its water supply
from Wanaque. The conferees de
clare that the State should supervise
the conservation of drinkable waters
In northern New Jersey for the bene
fit of all communities alike. The res
olutions will be submitted to each of
the three municipalities represented
for indorsement.
The resolutions adopted were the
following:
(1) That the conservation of potable
waters of Northen New Jersey under
State supervision and control Is
necessary, and affects all communi
ties alike; (2) that the development
of the Wanaque water shed for the
benefit of tjjgse communities and
such others as are or may be in need
of supply is necessary and should he
undertaken by the State commission;
(3) in order to participate in this de
velopment, it is necessary for each
of Ihe three communities to acquire
a distribution system; (4) that it Is
advisable for the three communities
to acquire distribution systems now
in service either by purchase or by
condemnation; (5) that the govern
ing bodies of the municipalities im
mediately by resolution or ordinance
take action to acquire their distribu
tion systems with the view- to turn
ing over to the State Water Supply
Commission for operation the pump
ing stations, Altering plants, pipe
lines, reservoirs and appurtenances
now controlled by the New Jersey

further consideration to the proposi
tion.
The report issued hy (he City Plan
Commission, indorsing the work, was
gone over by the delegation, and filets
and figures to substantiate the claims
of those desiring the work were given
to Mayor Raymond. It was argued
that the city at large would be

FOUR-FAMILY HOUSE STOLEN
FROM 31 NUTTMAN STREET
Joseph Di Tulio. of 155 Parker
street, some time ago purchased a
house at 31-33 Nuttman street. The
house was a two-story frame dwell
ing, and it was occupied by four fam
ilies.
Of late the tenants of the house
failed to pay their rent. Di Tulio w'ent
there several times and tried to im
press the tenants they should pay up.
He failed to get his money. The
house was occupied by foreigners, and
they all seemed to have the impres
sion that during war times nobody
should pay rent. This rule, they said,
is now in vogue in Europe, and they
were sure it should be in effect in
this country also.
Mr. Di Tulio thought this impres
sion was entirely wrong. Hg ordered
the tenants out unless they should
pay up by Juna 1. On that date all
four families moved away and the
owner started to look up some new
tenants. Yesterday Di Tulio went to
the Nuttman street address to pre
pare his house for ’he prospective new
occupants. He was almost dazed
when he glanced at the spot where his
house stood, for it had entirely disap
peared. At first Di Tulio thought he
was dreaming, Pul the presence of a
few timbers on the side brought him
to a realization that some person or
persons had stolen his house. He
learned from persons in the neighbor
hood that some men and women
started to wreck the dwelling a few
days ago, and that they had com
pleted the Job hv Saturday night.
The former landlord notified his
counsel, William J. Hampson, who in
turn notified the police of the Second
precinct of the theft. The police hope
to trace the persons who raided the
Di Xuilti dwelling..

CASE OF EACH OFFICIAL
A Brief Review of First Crim

Out Contentions.
Taking up the case of the work of
the police Judges to further empha
sise the "crying need" of a third po
lice court for N'ewsrk, or to demon
strate that there is absolutely no
necessity, as there has certainly been
no public demand, for It. the dally
doings, during the month of May, in
the First Criminal Court, presided
over by Judge Horace C. urice, are
given in a general way.
It must be said at the outset that in
the First court the clerks attend to a
large volume of work in connection
with matters concerning violations of
city ordinances.
There is no question as to (he accu- j
racy of the working schedule, the I
time being so approximately correct i
that where there may be a deviation j
of two or three minutes. It applies
either way. The judges did not de
vote more than an average of two
hours a day to active court, duties dur
ing the month, from the time they ar
rived at the respective police stations, j
where sittings are held, until they)
look their departure from the station!
houses for the day. This is with the )
probable exception of Judge Mancusl- j
Ungaro.
so ham here” Seeetnne.
There Is nothing to show that police j
judges, like chancellors and vice
chancellors, for instance, hold session*
In “chambers.” They go and come,
and that appears to be all there is to I
it, the routine features being attended :
to by the clerieal forces. The tax
payers, however, are interested in
knowing what they pay for services
and whether work performed is com
mensurate with the money paid. The
question has arisen over the appoint
ment of a third police court Judge, not
that the new judge is H. Edward
Wolf, and the appropriating of $8,200
to defray the expenses of (he extras
position.
It seem to lie. ns it should he. an i
impersonal matter, so far as the in- I
oumbent of the position Is concerned,
tlie criticism being more as to
whether the police judge force should
he increased and on the basis of an
added expenditure of $8,200 per year.
A contemporary suggests that, in
the face of the discussion over the’
problem, there should he an investi
gation, and goes so far as lo state!
that a police Judge should possess a |
deep knowledge of human nature, as
much as legal qualifications, in han- |
dling the cases I hat are brought be- I
fore the police courts.
All In the Snme Bntii.
On Saturday the Evening Star re
lated something about the work that
Judge Wolf Is called upon lo perform,
and stated that other Judges were In
the same boat In this regard. The
finance committee of Common Coun
cil has refused to allow an item of
$8,200 In the tax ordinance, for the
Payment of Judge Wolf and his two
clerks.
Judge Grice’s circuit is confined to
the Flret precinct. It formerly took
in the Third precinct.
The First Precinct Police Court,
schedule shows that Judge Grice was
not required to put in more than an
average of two hours' work daily In
the month of May, calculating from
the time he arrived at the station
house until court adjourned and he
had left for the day. There are days
that he spent two hours and thirty
minutes at the police court, and there
are days when an even hour covered
the period of attendance. The time
ranges from two hours and thirty
minutes, with fractional periods of
time intervening. Court sessions are
not held Sundays and on Memorial
Day ('May 31) Judge Grice did not
show up at all. Police Captain Caf
frey paroling persons charged with
offenses on Saturday for appearance
on Tuesday morning.
During the month, on May 20, Judge
Grice held court in the afternoon.
There was a jury trial on an overseer
of the poor complaint. This took up
two hours.
Outside of a number of cases
brought by the Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty lo Animals, a num
ber of Hoard of Health cases and
complaints from the overseer of the
poor, a cocaine selling incident, a row
in a Greek restaurant, a false pre
tense case argument and a burglary
matter, the calendar contained noth
ing but drunk and disorderly entries,
loitering and similar minor charges
to be disposed of.
But, with everything taken into con
sideration, the judge’s dally working
time in this court does not exceed i
two-hour average.

PAIR CHARGED

Mary Prusiak and Laidlaw
Wrubleowski Held for Kill
ing Julianna Antosiak.
PLEAD NOT GUILTY; ARE
HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Wm. Perry Appears as Coun
sel for Man at Request
ot Uncle.
A formal charge of murder was
made against Miss Mary Prusiak
and D&idlaw Wrubleowski today for
the killing of Miss Julianna Antosiak
In the Wyoming section of Millburn
two weeks ago tomorrow night. The
pair were charged jointly with the
crime and were arraigned before Fe
lix McGee, recorder of Millburn. who
held court in the office of Chief of De- j
tectives Frederick Weimer in the
Court House nt noon. George Bro
desser, captain of the Millburn police,
made the* charge and Prosecutor
Guild conducted the State’s case.
Both defendants pleaded not guilty
and were held without bail to await
the action of the grand Jury. They
had been brought from the county
Jail, in which they haVe been con
fined as material witnesses since the \
discovery of the crime a week ago j
Thursday. Abram Cohen, the court
interpreter, translated the complaint |
in Polish to them.
(nun he I for .Man.
There was no one to represent the
accused pair when the hearing \nh.h |
held, but shortly afterwards William j
H. Perry, former town counsel of
Nutley, appeared at the Court House
as counsel for Wrubleowski. He was1
accompanied by Frank Pa la ski. of
Linoleumville, Staten Island, an un
cle of the accused man, who had en
gaged him to handle the case. The
lawyer was too late to he heard in
the case today, and he declared that
he would ask for an examination for
Wrubleowski before the case went to
the grand Jury.
The crime is supposed to have been
committed some time during the
night of Tuesday. May 27. That eve
ning the Antosiak girl had left the
home of her employer in Wyoming to |
visit the Prusiak woman, where the
latter was employed a. short distance
away. tfhe never returned, and two
days later her body was found a short
distance from the house where the
Prusiak woman worked with her skull
crushed. She evidently had been
I beaten to death with a. club.
From evidence secured the police
and county authorities have been
working on the belief that the Pru
slak woman and Wrubleowski had a
hand in the crime. One of the ties of
the murdered girl "as said to have
been found in the cellar of the house
in which the Prusiak woman worked,
and some of the latter’s clothing
which bore spots resembling blood
were taken possession of by the au
thorities.
It was thought that Jealousy
prompted the crime. The man and
woman charged with the murder wer?
formerly sweet hearts, and it was
said that the latter transferred his
affection to the dead girl. The three
went about together a good deal right
up to the time of the death of the
Antosiak girl, and it was thought that
the two women were fast chums.
The Prusiak girl was arrested at
her place of employment right after
the discovery, and the man was taken
into custody later in the day at the
home of the dead girl's sister in this
city, where he boarded.

I which says:
“Stubborn fighting on the Seddul

This was achieved by us by our right

old position after suffering lrcavy
losses.”
LONDON, June 7.—The general ad
vance attempted by the allied troops
on the Gallipoli peninsula, on Thurs
day and Friday, heralded by the cor
respondents, and regarding which
hopes were raised by Winston Spen
rer Churchill's remark in his Dundee
speech yesterday I hat thp allies here
were "within a few miles of a victory
such as the war had not yet seen,"
netted a gain of BOO yards on -i front
of nearly three miles. But it appears
front l lie official statement given out
regarding these operations that vari
ous divisions of the allies, after mak
ing still more substantial gains by
dint of great gallantry, were unable
fully to hold these gains because of
the activity of the Turkish artillery
and on account of fierce counter-at
tacks.
Tlte statement is a narrative i f
despecate assaults by British, French,
territorials and Indian troops, carry
ing their point successfully and then
loo often being forced to fall hack
again, because some other part of Die
line had not been able !o keep up
with the advance. The Indian troops
especially were subjected to a disap
pointment of this kind, using two
trenches they had gained by a mag
nificent advance because the 'roops on
their right were held up by bnrbed
wire, anil thus the Indians were left
open to an enfilading fire.

Report Wilson Is Expect
ing Further Word from
Berlin.
BUT REJOINDER REMAINS
UNALTERED BY PRESIDENT
Contains Frank Demand Ger
many Recognize U. S. Rights—
“Will Be Cabled Tonight.”
WASHINGTON, June 7.—While
President Wilson’s note to Berlin re
mained unsent indefinite rumors
Possible moves that might end th*
European struggle circulated through
out Washington diplomatic circles
today.
They were so intangible that i; was
impossible to locate their author-hip.
Diplomats declined to comment on
them for publication, yet most Of
them seemed anxious to learn wheth
er there was any*connection between
them and the American note’s failurs
to go forward. If so, only President
Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan
knew. All other government soureeh
were in complete darkness.
The rumors apparently had their
origin, however, in the offices of the
international hanking houses, which
are naturally interested in the res
toration of early peace.
No far as the note itself is con
cerned, officials who should know
said that it was only more hack in
President Wilson's hands. II wgs
also staled that the president wa*
highly displeased over the wholesale
speculation over its contents, despits
the fact that this speculation was
entirely due to the secretiveness of
men who know all the facts.
At th* *t*»t* Hppartment it was ex—
plained that the note will follow
closely the lines already known. Tt
was, an official explained, a continua
tion of the policy first announced by
the president In his original note of
February 10. and repeated on May 1S.
The question of the time of transmis
sion, officials said, was entirely im
material.
VIST Kxprct Further Word.
A suggested reason for the r.elay,
whispered In officialdom, was that th*
president may he expecting further
word from Berlin. It 1r known here
| that the Berlin Foreign Office has
been closely watching events in he
United .States since the original nois
was received here. May 30 lnasmuen
as thiR note admittedly was not a re
ply. hut an inquiry, directed at the
facts, there was nothing to prevent
an addition to It, and. If the pre*f
dent had received an intimation tiiat
something of the kind might he ex
pected, it would constitute a reason
able excuse for watting. Inquiries
along this line were severely frowned
on everywhere.
The only positve official word was
that the note was complete and would
go forward when the president said
the word.
Secretary Bryan had on hour's con
ference with the president this fore
noon. At Its conclusion he said lit
had nothing to give out except tha'
when the communication was dis
patched the fact would be mad
known. lie would not tell whether oi
not lie had received the note from fhe
president, and was taking it back tp
the State department.
It has been no secret that Secretary
Bryan was opposed to adopting a ton
of finality in the various German
notes. His opposition wrs so sincere
that, prior to last Friday's cabinet
meeting President Wilson felt im
pelled to have a, private conferen^i
with him at which he carefully ex
plained why he deemed it necessaA
for this government to stick to a
positive position. The secretary, rj
luctantly, withdrew his objections, H*
did not relinquish ills position, how
ever. although accepting his chief's.
Encnurnged hy tills knowledge other
sources have been trying to have the
note’s positive tone modified.
Pressure t'pon White House,
In this they have been aided by
certain Democratic senators who
have let the White House know that
they believe concessions ought to be
made that will render war impossible.
Thus far they have failed. The note,
ns it remained In the president’s
| hands today, hud not been alters#,
it was a frank demand that Germany
recognize America's rights undpr In
ternational law: that it ngree to 90
