NEW BRUNSWICK, March 21:-
Thomas H. Hagerty, attorney for
Morris Manheimer, Joseph c. billiard
and William J.. .Byrne, gamblers,

house, pleaded this morning with
Judge DAILY that the fines of $1,000
imposed on the men by Judge Daily
when they were sentenced, be recon-
sidered. Judge Daily said that If MIR.
Hagerty brought the mef before him
this afternoon he. would reduce the
fines t. $500 each, if Mr.. Hagerty be-
lieved that the men could not raise
the required $1,000.
On February 2S the men were sem
fenced, Byrne and billiard to one
month and Manheimer to five weeks
in the workhouse together with a
81, 900 fine for all three. Mr.. Hagerty
said hat 1t was physically impossible
for the men to pay the fines The
Judge has received letters from Mrs.
billiard, Mrs. Byrne and Manheimer,
all saying that they cannot raise the
money. billiard and Byrne, 1t is
claimed, have lost good jobs and Mrs.
billiard pleaded that she had been
forced to go to work to support her
father, mother, sister and small son.
Judge DAILY said to Mr.. Hagerty:
"Are you satisfied that these men
cannot pay their ines?" Upon re-
ceiving an affirmative answer, the
fudge continued: where the court
finds that a man cannot pay his fine,
it would be an injustice to keep these
men in jail"

LOCAL
MEN DEMANDED
FreehoIders Act to Prevent Out
of County Men From Getting
Employment First
By STAFF Correspondent.

By STAFF Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, March 21:-
With the accusation that clam dig
gers" from other counties were being
employed in the various munition
plants in this county in preference to
the native sons, who are in need of
and are searching for work, Director
William H. Dey of the Board of Free
holders vent on record yesterday as
favoring the employment by the gov
ornament of Middlesex county men in
preference to all but discharged SOL
diers INC sailors.
Mr.. Dey in bringing this matter be-
fore the board said that he knew of
a great man men from Perth Am
boy and South Amboy who had gone
to the various plants in search of en-
ployment only to be turned away with
the understanding that there was no
work to be had" He also made the
statement that out-of-town employ
ment agencies were continually send
ing men here and who are being put
to work"
The members of the board have
backed up the director and are deter
mined to do all in their power to OBJ
tain work for men of the county who
are not now employed and are unable
to procure employment. To that end
the clerk of the board has been in
structed to notify the officials of the
munition plants that are still in oper-
alton, as to the attitude of the board
in this matter and request that men
from this county be given some con-
sideration and preference in any
future cases where help is needed.
Not only men from out of the
county localities but men with teams
to hire from other sections are now
doing the work and carting which the
members of the board feel should be
given to local men with teams for
hire. 1t has been said that a contrac-
tor from Plainfield is now doing the
big share of the teaming now being
done 1t one OF the plants. At the
present time there are a great many
teams in this county that are idle for
the reason that their owners are un-
able to obtain work.

and shortly after he started TO take
the medicine the pains left him and

Meals Should Pay Dividends.
Are your meals paying you divi-

YOU headlong into physical bank

add to your supply OF blood bone
and muscle II should give you
more strength more vigor. more
vitality to carry you pleasantly and
probably through life Food which
does nothing but give YOU momen-
tary satisfaction is Of no benefit.
Pepgen's success as an appetizer,
invigorant and revitalizer depends
largely upon the manner in which it
promotes healthy digestion, so that
food taken into the system is prop
erly digested and converted into
nOurishment for every organ in the
body Pepgen has a pleasant cool
