It was the third time the defendants had been tried in a year. The first trial resulted in a disagreement of the jury and the second ended in a mis- trial after an alleged attempt to tamper with a juror had been discovered. ‘The men acquitted were John L. Geiger and William F. Groghan, for- mer prohibition agents; Joseph Farrell, president, and Louis Lazarus, secre- tary, of the Glenwood Distilling Co.; Walter J. Reynolds, assistant yard- master of the FPrankford Junction yard of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Reese Hannum and Harry J. Wohl, railroad clerks, and George D. Clymer, inspector of railroad detectives.

J. and other East- ern citles for bootleg purposes, and that the eight men had conspired to make the transfer. «y” FRIENDS TO DINE C. E.

With a record of 109,594 free meals | and 45745 destitute men given free | shelter, the Central Union Mission | passed successfully through one of the | most trying years in its existence, Supt. Jokn S. Bennett said yesterday in rendering his fiscal report for the year | ended September 30, F:!L ‘The astonishingly large statistical record is one of the reasons the mission has decided to keep its bread lines in doors this Winter, Supt. Bennett said, 50 as to save many worthy jobless men the humiliation of waiting in the streets for & night's meal and lodging. Huge Burden Carried. ‘The iIncreased relief work at this “mission of the churches” is indicated in the statistical report rendered to the board of directors, which shows an in- crease of 200 per cent in the number of men given nightly shelter and nearly 300 per cent in the number of meals dispensed to the hungry. In the 1929 fiscal year, when conditions were much better, 21,137 men were given lodging and 39,595 meals were served. | In addition to the jobless men cared for during the past year, the mission’s ‘Emergency Home ‘for Ghildren, which Mrs. Bennett conducts with the assist- ance of the Women's Guild, supplied 35,155 meals to underprivileged boys and girls. The home also provided shelter for 420 children who were sepa- rated by circumstances from their parents. | The month of September was typical of the “slack” period at the Central | Union Mission, whose work is always increased during cold weather. During the last month shelter was given to 2628 men and 9,167 free meals were served. Of 1,039 men who applied for assistance, 996 had never before so- licited aid from the mission. | Clothing Badly Needed. | Clothing for the coming Winter is one of the chief needs, Supt. Bennett re- ported. Under direction from the board, he is appealing to the members of the mission’s Ministerial Councli represent- ing Protestant Churches of the city, to send in all the discarded clothing they THE HECHT CO, F Street at Seventh LIKE SL ONAC E’'S dreaming EEPING LOUD! peacefully that he’s floating on a cloud high above all the trials apd tribulations of his business day.
