Leopold Mambourg Is In
volved In Petition
SUM OF $S9O.12 CLAIMED
Attorney B. E. sapp Of This City Rep.
resents The Paintiff-Action
Brought IN Fairfield
Co. Courts

Attorney B. r. Sapp went to Lancas-
ter Wednesday for the purpose of fill
ing in the Fairfield county courts the
petition of James Edward Brown
whom he represents, against the Ohio
Central Glass Co. Mr.. Brown was for
merly employed in Utica and frequent
ly visited in Mt. Vernon where he
still has number of friends.
The plaintiff in the action states
that, in Sept, 1915, while he was en-
ployed with the Utica Glass Co., he
was informed that Leopold Mambourg
formerly of Mt. Vernon), general
manager of the ohio Central Glass
Co. of Pleasantville, wanted to see
him. He complied with Mr.. Mann
bourg's request and, on Sept. 1S, ac-
cording to petition, was induced to
sever his connections with the Utica
concern in order to work for Mr.. Nam
bOurg's company, the salary stipula-
tion being S35 a week when the fire
was in and $50 when the fire was out
Plaintiff states that the fire started
Oct. IL, and was out May 81, 1916, a
period of 32 weeks and four days. 1t
was out, he claims, from May 27 to
Oct. IL, 1916, a period of 10 weeks and
four days. Plaintiff says that, had he
worked the full time, he would have
received $1,714.2S. He states that de-
fendant arranged for his board and
lodging.
However, plaintiff AYERS that, after
stopping his work at Utica, he was in
formed by Mambourg that he (Mam-
bourg) was going away to Cleveland
and not to come until he heard from
him." On Oct. 2, 1915, plaintiff says
Mambourg called him by telephone
and told him that his services we're
not needed because he had hired an
other man.
Plaintiff says that he was out of
work until Oct 16, 1915, when he en-
tered the employ of the American
Glass Co. at Arnold, Pa. He remained
there, at $24 a week, until Feb. %,
1916, then working for the Reliance
Glass Co. at Dubois, Pa, from March
to June l at $35 a week.
Car-fare and freighting to these
places amounted to $91.S4. Including
this as credit to himself and deduct
ing the amount of wages he received
during this period when he was en-
ployed, he claims that there is due
him from the defendant the sum Of
$S9O,12 with interest from Oct. H.,
1916.

Pres. Chamberlain of Denison Secured
For Initial Cathering-These
Are To Continue Regularly
Until Easter Sunday

At the monthly meeting of the Min
isterinl association, held Monday
morning at the Y. NJ. C. A. building,
much of the time was devoted to the
consideration of plans for the stimuli
taneous evanpelistic campaign to be
conducted in the month Of March.
As was announced in these columns
some time ago. that there should be
more of cooperation in evangelistic
effort has been the feeling of many
and when it was deemed impractical
to hold tabernacle meetings this win
ter, the whole question of ways and
means of working out a city-wide pro-
gram was referred to the ministerial
association.
At the meeting month ago, the
ministers adopted the plan of ST.
multaneous effort to begin the first
Sunday In March with what is desig-
mated as Go-to-Church Sunday. At the
meeting Monday, it was learned that
nearly all the churches had agreed to
conform to this plan. Committees
were therefore appointed to assist in
the arrangements.
Special stress is to be placed upon
the Importance of Go-to Church Sun
day and in addition to the regular
services. mass meetings for men and
women will be held in the afternoon
The meeting for men win be held nm
der the auspices of the Y. Nj. C., A.
whose efficient secretary, Mr., Spence
is most cordially assisting the minis
ters in these plans. Mr. Spence an
nounces that Dr. C. W. Chamberlain
president of Denison university, Gran

sion and that other out-of-town speak

swers Filed Notes
From Court

Criminal cases occupied the atten-
7aion of the petit fury Monday. Only
one of these was placed in the hands
of the jury-that of the State of
Ohio VS.. Hogle on a charge of dispos-
ing of mortgaged property.
The jury returned a verdict Of not
guilty in this case and the defendant
was discharged.
Orange Underwood, he who insisted
despite assurances OF physicians to
the contrary that he was afflicted
with tuberculosis and therefore could
not work, finally entered a plea of
guilty to a charge OF non-support. He
was sentenced by Judge Blair to one
year in Jail. This was suspended on
condition that Underwood pay the
sum of IS a month 10 his wife. I'm
Sierwood's real disease was laziness,
1t developed.
Another nonsupport case was that
of 39hlo VS.. Sells. The defendant, it
will he recalled. was placed under ar
rest not long ago on the occasion of
. brief visit here. He had been re-
siding in Akron. Sells decided to
plead guilty and Judge Blair took his
Gase under advisement.

BOLIVIA WOULD DENY
ALL RIGHT OF ATTACK
Invites All American Neutral States TO
Join In Declaration As to
U-Boat Warfare.

Washington, Feb. IA proposal
by the Bolivian government that all
nations OF Pan-America make a joint
declaration against submarine at
lacks on neutral merchant vessels was
made public tonight by the Mexican
embassy. Boliyia's suggestion is in
reply to Carranza's peace message,
and declares that such Joint deciar-
alton would have an important moral
influence at this time. The communi-
cation follows:
Considering that the employment
of submarines in war can have no
other object than to ada another ele-
ment of defense or attack between
beiligerents, without prescribing the
uses and utilities recognized by inter-
national right in maritime war. much
less annul the rights which belong to
neutrals in the peaceful commerce of
their nationals and their trade. we
believe II proper to invite the nations
Of this continent to make the fol-
lowing declaration Of principles:
The American neutral states in
the present war now cnveloping Eu-
rope consider it opportune to make
the following declaration In harmony
with the permanent interests of the
universally of nations:
The attack of submarines against
neutral merchant vessels Is contrary
to all law even within the zone of
blockade and ran only apply legiti-
mately against them under cases aris-
ing out of the prize law"
