Him from Justice.
ALLGOR OFFERS REWARD
FOR TRUE BILL’S RETURN
Beautiful Rumson Road Is
Decked With Eyesores
in Long Contest.
Newarkers summering in Seabrlght,
L Rumson and other coast places in Mon
mouth county are watching with keen
F interest the sensational developments
in the famous Allgor case.
The Allgor case is as amusing to some
■1 as it is annoying to others, and every
® body is anxiously awaiting the next
move. The Allgor case is truly a “spite
case,” but the community is divided
as to which side of the fence the spite
work lies. The millionaire colony is
fighting James M. Allgor and the oldest
settler in Seabrlght is returning the fire.
Throughout the county Allgor, who
claims that his life has been threat
ened, his property destroyed and
stolen and Justice denied him, has
posted notices offering $25 reward to
any person securing an indictment be
fore the grand jury now sitting at
Freehold. Allgor insists that he has
proof positive against six persons, but
that wealth and political influence are
exerted to such an extent that he Is
deprived of his constitutional rights.
These reward notices, printed In bold
faced type, are of two sizes, hand-bill
and poster. Automobillst as well as
yachting parties are confronted with
the posters, and there is not a man,
woman or child in that section -who
has not been handed a circular. The
so-called "spite fence” which Allgor
has erected around his property on the
beautiful Rumson road, at the ap
proach to the Seabrlght drawbridge, is
the greatest eyesore of all, however.
Whether the hideous obstruction will
remain there another summer is a
question that is gravely agitating those
who have invested their money In near
by real estate. Allgor says it will un
loss the present grand jury, which has
the subject under consideration, gives
him the relief that previous grand
juries refused.
Alleged Offenses Nearly Outlawed.
Supreme Court Justice Voorhees
charged the Jurors to act. The case has
been hanging fire for two years, and If
action is not taken by the present Jury
the alleged offenses w*ll be barred by
the statute of limitations.
AllgoFs place, now so inarttstically
fenced, was up to two years ago used
as a means of earning a livelihood. He
conducted a bungalow ice-cream parlor
there. His announced intention of
erecting a bowling alley in the rear of
the bungalow started the trouble. The
wealthy residents did not want the
bowling alley, and boycotted the ice
cream business when Allgor proceeded
with its construction. Servants were
forbidden to patronize him, so he al
leges. The boycott was ruinous to All
gor's business.
Frank McMahon was a candidate for
mayor of the borough at the time. He
declared that, if elected, he would re
fuse the Allgor bowling license. His
election followed, and, making good his
promise, Allgor was left with a partly
„ constructed bowling alley and a ruined
business.
His tilts with Mayor McMahon and
other officials were lively, and Allgor
Invited trouble by hanging wearing ap
parel bearing descriptive placards on
clotheslines stretched from the bunga
low- to an adjacent flagpole. Allgor's
sign offering his place for rent to
negroes was the most unkind cut of
all, and his arrest and indictmenb for
libel followed.
Causes Mayor's Arrest.
Allgor says that lawyers not con
trolled by the millionaire colony were
hard to get, and he retained his wife's
* cousin, Thomas Griffen, of Jersey City.
The indictment was quashed, and he
again placarded his place. On June 26,
1908, according to Allgor, borough of
ficials and policemen held him up at
the point of pistols, broke into his
place, stole and carried away his chat
tels.
A He caused the arrest of Mayor Me
! Mahon, of Rumsen; P. Hall Packer,
£ then mayor of Seabrlght; Charles D.
■ Halsey and Policemen John MePeak,
r William Porter and James Wallace. It
is these six men whom Allgor is trying
to have indicted.
Further, Allgor avers:
“With my witnesses I went before the
grand Jury to secure indictments. Ro
and behold, who did I find as foreman
MISS MAUDE E. EMERY, WHO
RECEIVED DIPLOMA AT BARNARD
COLLEGE, N. Y., YESTERDAY.
NEWARK GIRL GRADUATED
FROM BARNARD COLLEGE.
Miss Maude E. Emery Receives
Degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Miss Maude E. Emery, of 34 Avon
avenue, received the degree of bachelor
of arts at the commencement exercises
of Barnard College, New York, yester
day. Of the eleven New Jersey girls
to graduate Miss Emery was the only
one from this city.
Her career at the school has been
most successful from the standpoint
of both instructors and students. So
popular was she with the latter that
they insisted on her being one of the
speakers at the class banquet, which
was really its final frolic, last night.
but Frank McMahon, one of the six
that I wanted indicted. The automo
bile parade came over from Rumson,
containing the wealth and Influence of
th^t district.
"They came to Freehold to use their
influence to prevent the return of the
indictments.
Scores Olil-Timo Friend.
"They were led by a prominent New
arker, whose name for the moment I
will withhold. He is a man who has
changed amazingly of late years. I
have known him since he was a baby.
Formerly he was approachable, but now
God Almighty's overcoat wouldn't
make a vest for him. He is so unlike
his dear old father.
“This same man talked to my lawyer,
my wife’s cousin, Tom Griffen, and ever
after that interview he was of no use
to me as counsel. I paid and dismissed
him. I presume he Is doing work for
some big corporation since that memo
rable trip to Freehold.
"That grand jury failed to Indict the
men, and so has every grand Jury
since. I have tried before all of them
to get justice. Think of it, a grave
crime committed and I can’t punish
the guilty ones.
"These influential and wealthy people
went so far as to have the last Legis
lature paB» a bill the only object of
which was to force me to remove my
fence. I told Governor Fort all about
the case and he vetoed the bill.
“Finding myself unable to get Justice,
I am offering the above-mentioned re
ward. I hope I may get it, but I am
not sanguine.”

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use is it to
Anyone?
Thousands? Yes hundreds of thous
ands of people throughout America are
taking the slow death treatment daily.
They are murdering their own stom
ach, the best friend they have, and In
their sublime ignorance they think they
are putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement; It is
a startling fact, the truth of which any
honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swal
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin
and other strong digesters, made espe
cially to digest the food in the stom
ach without any aid at all from the
digestive membrane of the stomach.
In other words, they are taking from
the stomach the work that nature In
tended it should do, and are also refus
ing it the only chance for exercise It
has.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach In live minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make It strong enough to
digest its own food. Then Indigestion,
belching, sour stomach and headache
will go.
Ml-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists * everywhere and by E. R.
Petty, who guarantees them. 60 cents
& box.
