WANTS JURY TO
 BE ALL ONE SEX

Cleveland-A jury composed either of all men or a women will be sought by Edward c. Stanton county prosecutor to try the case of Judge William s. McGannon, which was scheduled to start today.
 Stanton said he intended taking the matter up with counsel for Judge McGannon before the trial, in an eff fort to work out a method whereby a mixed jury might be avoided because of the possibility of a long drawn out legal battle. Under the present statutes, Stanton said, il is impossible to separate a jury.
 Judge McGannon goes on trial for the second time on the charge Of second degree murder for the alleged killing of Harold c. Kagy, garage owner, on the night of May last, The first trial resulted in a disagree nent after the jury had been out i 8 hours

It had not been decided early to day, which of the common plea: | judges would preside but it was prob able that the case would go before | Judge A. J. Pearson or Judge Homer G. Powell

PROHIBITION AND CARDS

Prohibition enforcement has had the effect of greatly increasing the number of card games, both private and semi-public. Thousands of per sons in Bridgeport are known night ly to be enaged in this pastime.
 The effect has been to create a laggRrd disposition on the following morning, superinduced by the long stretches of the night, the stuffy at mosphere and the prevalence of to- bacco smoke in the air. It is a gen eral poisoning of the system together with lack of sleep.
 It has been found that in order to overcome the 1assitude, to regain quick recuperation of the physical and metnal powers within a short space of time the Turkish and the Russian bath is most efficacious.
 The Atlas Bath on Fairfield avenue is open day and night, and Alex Mais- seI, the new manager, has some novel views and methods of combating in ertia.

Manufacturing interests and busi-
ness in general seems to be picking
up according to Michael Berliney,
proprietor of the Amboy Employ
ment Agency, of 80 Maple street.
During the past few weeks the
agency has been able to place sever
al applicants in good paying posi-
tions. Although many calls IRE re-
ceived from firms for young girls, in
all cases where possible Mr.. Berliney
e~ndeavors to supply boys. The en-
deavor of the agency is to find work
for men and boys instead of women.
Yesterday fifty-six boys were given
employment at the plant of the
Blakley Canning Company at Free
hold through the efforts Of Mr.. Ber-
liney. This firm in the course of a
few weeks will need $50 more men
and boys.
During the past few weeks the
agency has been able to place ten
women a day for general houseworl.
Women finding that other lines OF
business are closed have agreed to
again take up housework in order to
make a living. There is a consider
able demand for domestic help.
During the past six months that
the agency has been in operation
over 200 applications for positions
have been received and between SOC
and 400 persons have been placed in
positions. There are calls for hun
dreds of girls. especially in the mills

REPUBLICANS
II CRY F0RP|E
Senator Edge Gets Numerous
Complaints From Party Men
About Washington Jobs
BY GEORGE IL. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of tho
Perth Amboy Evening News

WASHINGTON. Aug. Ex-senator
Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey, has
received a large number of COM
plants from New J~erseyites employ
c in the various government depart
ments in Washington, some of whom
called on him in person and others
who wrote him, stating that the de-
partment and bureau heads are not
showing any inclination to put Re-
publicans in the good positions held
by Democrats who were placed in
those places to take the place of
Republicans when the Democrats
came into power about eight years
ago.
1t is a we'll known fact that when
the Democrats came into power
eight years g after being put TWEEN
ty years they denoted almost every
Republican holding a good job in the
departments to make places for de
serving" Democrats. There were
numerous complaints about 1t at the
time, but the transfer, demotions
and promotions were attributed by
the Democratic heads to changes for
the good of the service and nothing
was done or could be done to stop
the practice.
But since President Harding took
office, with the Senate and House in
control of the Republicans. there is
complaint that practically no steps
have been taken to better the condi-
ton of the Republicans in the service
and that nothing has been done in
the way of giving back to the Re-
publicans the jobs they lost eight
years ago to make way for Demo-
Gratis.
1t will be recalled that the pres
emit cabinet heads have almost all
gone on record as favoring a pure
efficiency basis. Postmaster Cen
eral Will Hayes and Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover, it will be remem-
bered, stated specifically the first
day they took office that their de-
p%artments would be run on an eff
ficiency basis and that nobody who
was doing good work would be dis
turbed.
1t is this situation of which the
New Jerseyites in the departments
are bitterly complaining.
Senator Edge heartily sympathizes
with them, at least to the point
where Republicans were denoted to
make places for Democrats eight
years ago, and where the order of
things has not been reversed since
March a.. He has taken this matter
up vigorously with several of the
department heads in the past few
days picking out specific cases where
the injustices of eight years ago
have not been righted.
1t has become almost a rule in
connection with a large number of
the department jobs that the head of
a bureau, division or section should
belong to the party in power and
the assistant chief of the opposite
party. and that they should reverse
positions as their party was in pow
err. This rule has not been OBJ
| served since March 4, it Is claimed.

loss of a considerable number of
Jerseymen.

A heated discussion took place as
to whether or not the city and coun-
ty Democratic committees should
take any part in the election until
after the primaries. Many present
thought that the committeeman
should keep their hands off until
after the primary election. James

ed that he thought the candidates
should be allowed to fight it out be-
tween themselves. He also said that
he has not decided as yet whether he
will be a candidate for freeholder or
not.
