MYSTERY OVER DEATH
OF PLANT WATCHMAN

hand. Two bullet wounds were
found In his forehead which indi-
cate, many assert, that the man met
his death at the hands of another.
Medical authorities assert that no
man can shoot himself horizontally,
as was evidenced in the Allgaier
wound; also. that no man can shoot
himself twice In the brain, as the
first shot would render him power
less to pull the trigger on the sec
ond attempt. There were powder
marks on the dead mans face.
DR.. william E. Ramsay believes It
Is a murder. Allgaier was watch
man at the cigar factory during the
present trouble and had been threat
ened by the girls and women for act
ing as "scab," 1t is said. 1t Is re-
ported now that Allgaier was re-
peatedly informed by the strikers
that somebody will get you yet"
Detectives Long and HUFF are work

BARBER WILL
HOLD COUNTY
FOR DAMAGES

A representative of McCarter &
English, of Newark, counsel for the
Barber Asphalt Company, of this
city, served written notice on Acting
Mayor Garretson and Sheriff Boil
schweiler yesterday afternoon that
the Barber company would hold the
city or county responsible and liable
for any damage to its property by
the strikers. The acting mayor said
that the city was not responsible

over to the sheriff. The representa-
tive declared that in case of the
plant being damaged the matter
would be taken into court and the
responsible party, whether the city
or the county, sued for damages.

There appears to be a difference
of opinion as to how JOSEPH Allgaier,
watchman of the Perth Amboy
Cigar Company, met his death yes
terday shortly before noon in the
lonely grove in the rear of st. Mary 8
cemetery. The police declare that
the man committed suicide, and
point to the revolver in the dead
mans hand to substantiate that
statement. Coroner James ]. Flynn
does not know whether it is a mur-
der or suicide, although he is in
clined to believe that it was the fer
mer crime, 1t Is said.
Allgaier, who lived at GOT State
street, was found dead in the rear
Of the cemetery by Mr.. and Mrs.
Jenski, who live In that section Of
the city, at l o'clock yesterday after
noon. A revolver, in which were

Chicago, June 15.-"The sight of
Colonel Roosevelt's fighting face
will be the last straw needed to
complete the utter rout of the Taft
forces" said Senator Borah, leader
of the Roosevelt forces Hes lick
ed, that's all. Volume of sound
never nominated a candidate.
Roosevelt in coming here, admitted
that his managers could not save
him and his bluff and bluster will
be of no avail" said William Barnes,
Jr., Taft's field captain.
With Roosevelt speeding toward
this city today party leaders on both
sides admitted that the storm center
of the convention from this even
ing on. is to be the colonel himself.
The statements of Borah and
Barnes. managers of the two camps,
show their position as they want
the public to know It, but Borah
realizes that the more delegates are
needed to cinch his cause and that
Roosevelt must furnish them.
Barnes also realizing this ,s fearful
not of the noise, but Of the effects
of Roosevelt's personality on waver-
ing office holding delegates.
The Roosevelt plant is personally
to buttonhole Taft delegates who
hold office, and who were originally
appointed by Roosevelt. To recall
to these men that he has always
been friendly to them and then to
argue that Taft would have a hard
time being elected even If renomi-
mated. Roosevelt is then expected
to try to convince these Taft men
that If Roosevelt Is nominated his
election is certain, and they will
hold their Jobs. The Roosevelt
managers expect this bread and
butter" argument to have a good
effect.
The Taft men insisted that they
have more than enough delegates
to nominate on the first ballot, men
who were noise and dynamite
proof" That a national convention
is assembling was brought home to
Chicago today. The blare of the band
was heard for the first time as the
marching delegates filed off their
special train and proceeded to their
hotel. Corridors of the hotel and
streets in the netghborhood are
crowded. Arguments are frequent
and heated.
That the Taft majority of the Re-
publican national committee was de-
termined to give all or practically
all OF the remaining sixty-eight con-
test to Taft was admitted today.
Roosevelt's only chance, Taft men
said, is to secure a few delegates in
Texas, from districts where the Taft
managers were unable to prepare
contests that had any merits in them.
The conference OF Taft leaders on
the national committee was held last
night, when it is said they deter
mined to give Taft all the twenty
contested seats from Virginia, all
of the fourteen from Washington,
two from the District of Columbia,
two from North Carolina and posi-
bly, twenty-four out of the thirty
from Texas. Powerless to prevent
this, Roosevelt men on the commit
tee, consoled themselves by declar-
ing that even though the Taft men
"stole" all the remaining contests
Taft wouldn't have enough votes to
insure his nomination.

tain the children who were to take
part at their respective churches this
afternoon. Notwithstanding the call
ing off of the Red Mems parade, the

Mayor Garretson and the other
authorities believe it would be un-
wise to have a parade at this time
and II a sudden outbreak of any
kind should take place at the time
it would mean a panic among the
children and probably injury to
some Of them. The Red Mems
demonstration would also be a bad
