SHOT BROTHER
BY ACCIDENT

The fact that Andrew Contra car
ried a revolver to protect his life
from former strikers of the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Works,
almost caused the death of his
brother, John Contra, in their board
ing house conducted by Mike Evan
in Inslee street, yesterday aftetr-
noon. According to the testimony of
Paul Seaman, an eye witness, as
given to Mounted Patrolman Hart
mann today, Andrew Contra was
cleaning a thirty-two calibre revol-
yer when he accidently discharged
it and a bullet passed through the
left leg of John Contra just below
the knee.
DR.. G. w. Tyrrell was summoned
to dress the wound. 1t is not con-
sidered serious and the victim is
expected to recover in short time.
unless complications should develop.
The owner of revolver has agreed
to pay all expenses for medical at
tention to his brothers wound and
for the loss of his working time.
During the investigation of the
shooting Patrolman Hartmann was
told the Contra brothers, with two
others, had come to this city from
Tremley about twelve days ago to
take positions at the A. S. and r.
plant. They claimed they were en-
gagged in the places of other men be-
cause they had been employed in a
chemical factory in Tremley and
knew something about chemicals in
use at the A. S. and r. warks. The
men whose places they were given
thought they themselves were dis
charged because of activities in the
recent strike and therefore are said
to have threatened the Contra broth
ers and their two fellow workers
from Tremley. 1t was for this rea-
son Andrew Contra said he carried
a revolver.

IN VALUATION
County Tax Board Continues
to Raise the Property in
Perth Amboy.
LOSE 100000 IN COAL
Railroads Are Taking New
Course This Year Keeping
Stock in Transit.
LOSE 100000 IN COAL

Although there will be a loss of
about 100000 in the northeastern
section of the city, Secretary Will
lam A. Spencer, of the MiddleseX
County Board of Taxation, states
that the taxable ratables of Perth
Amboy this year will be over $20,-
100000. The board visited all the
industries in the city yesterday, eX-
cept the terra Gotta plants, and the
commissioners are unanimous in the
opinion that s1,700,000 increase,
over the 1911 figures, can be ex-
pected.
Keep Coal I'm Transit.
The loss in the valuation of the
Lehigh Valley Company is due to a
new practice of the railroad and
transportation companies. The coal
is kept in transient and is not
brought to the taxing districts, in
any great quantity, until after May
20, the date of the beginning of the
assessments. But for the 100000
loss, the increase in ratables in
Perth Amboy for 1912 would touch
record figures. The increase this
year at New Brunswick was only
$1,O00,0O0, which was unusual and
only brought about by consent of
the industries in that city.
1t is not the intention Of the
board to return here again this year
for inspection, as nearly all the work
was completed yesterday. Other
changes which may be made in the
assessors books will be recorded
without personal visits to the prop
el.es, if possible. The Barber AS
phalt Company faces an increase of
$4,000 in its valuation, exclusive
of 200 tank homGEhich are owned
by the compaA IN transient
between this city ana C:cW fields
| The tax board faces a problem il. IS 6
sessing this property, as the State
of Ohio has served the Barber COM
pany with a requisition for tnforma-
ton concerning the tank cars, their
worth, etc. This rolling stock will
be assessed by the Iiddlesex coun-
ty board, however, and taken to
court, if necessary, to invalidate
Ohio's claim of right of assessment.

COMMITS SUICIDE IN
SHALLOW WATER ON
SOUTH AMBOY SHORE
Christian Schultz
Undressed and
n AIDED In.
LEFT A NOTE

With his mind weakened by ex-
cessive drinking, Christian Schultz,
Norwegian about tGirty-eight
years old, who had been doing book
keeping for various city officials the
past few months, committed suicide
by drowning himself in shallow wa
ter off the ''coye" near South AM
boy this morning. He left a note on
a white handkerchief to Mrs. Ma
thilda Peterson, of 141 Brighton ave-
nue., stating he was a crook, but
had been insane from drink when he
did wrong.
The deed is believed to have been
committed about $50 o'clock this
morning, when a number of South
Amboy men saw him undressing on
the beach. They thought he was
going to bathe. His clothes caused
the first alarm of the suicide when
they were found about noon and the
body was found floating near the
scene of drowning about l o'clock
this afternoon. 1t was removed to
Coroner Mason's morgue in South
Amboy
The suicides clothes, consisting of
a light striped suit of clothes, cap,
collar and tie and low tan shoes,
were found on the beach by John
Nau, Leo Collins and John Price, of
South Amboy They notified the
South Amboy police and Chief Nc
Donald sent word to the local police.
Mounted Patrolman Hartmann car
ried the word to Mrs. Mathilda Pc
terson, where Schultz had been
boarding. The note he left to Mrs.
Peterson follows:
Mrs. Peterson, 14I Brighton ave-
nue., Perth Amboy. You was very
kind to n1e and was a crook. I am
no more, but | was insane with
drink when / did wrong. (Signed)
c. s."
This message was carefully writ
ten on a white handkerchief which
was found in the pockets of the
clothes, together with a red hand
kerchief, lead pencil and some
Danish coins The body was found
by Georeg =9n, of 4&Ss.5 Water
street. ev------'-
The suicide was committed in wa
ter about three feet deep. The man
must have walked out and held him
self under water
Schultz worked for City Treasurer
Seaman and Comptroller Rhodes as
a bookkeeper until some time ago.
OF late he worked for the tax asses
sors and occupied the city treasurers
office. City employees about city hall
declare he was on spree for more
! than a week and that previously he
often got drunk and could not
work. He worked unsteady the past
week and was last seen in city hall
| at noon yesterday. He discharged
! himself from Mr.. Seaman's employ
last February, when he was told an.
| other spree would mean his dis
charge, but he worked for brief pc
riods at intervals for the city treas
| urer. He was considered an exc IL
| lent bookkeeper and a fine penman.
The man was born in Lyllisland,
| Norway. So far as is known he has
no relatives hereabouts,

WANT HUGHES
FOR SENATOR
Congressman ScuIIy An
nounces Himself in Favor
of the Paterson Man.
WESC0TT IN THE RACE
Both Men Did Great Work
for Wilson at the BaIti-
more Convention.
Speci1l TO the EVENING NEWS.

Washington, August 2.-Con-
gressman Thomas j. Scully, of South
Amboy, New Jersey, will throw his
support in the Third Congressional
District to his colleague in the
House of Representatives, Congress
man William Hughes, of Paterson,
who aspires to the Democratic nom
nation for United States Senator,
to succeed Senator Frank o. Briggs,
Republican. Mr.. Scully, in an inter-
view with the NEWS correspondent,
declared he is out strong for his old
friend Billy" Hughes and will ex-
ert his great influence in Middlesex,
Monmouth and Ocean counties to
land the nomination for the Pater-
son congressman.
Two Aspirants.
Two prominent Democrats have
announced their candidacy to the Of
fee now held by Senator Briggs.
Mr.. Hughes has already started an
earnest campaign while Judge John
W. Wescott, of Camden, also has
a petition In circulation, indorsing
him for the high office. Judge Wes-
colt, it will be remembered, placed
the name of Governor Woodrow Will
SUI LII dL luc
convention. The sentiment thus
aroused at that time for Judge Wes-
colt was counter balanced In great
measure by the splendid work done
by Congressman Hughes in the COM
mittee rooms and on the floor of
the convention, in the interest Of
New Jerseys governor.
The Logical Candidate.
This fact was mentioned today by
Mr.. Scully in his interview. He
also referred to Mr.. Hughes work
while in congress for three terms,
and asserted that the Paterson gem
tleman is the logical candidate for
the higher office. Congressman
Hughes work at Washington and at
& Baltimore has placed him in the
forefront of the Democratic aspir-
ants" said Mr.. Scully, "and l intend
to do all I can to forward his candi-
dacy. l believe he will be elected" J"
Congressman Scully's support should
not be under estimated. Although
he did not enter into state politics
until two years ago he already has
the united support of the Democrats
of the third district, who are pledged
to him to a man. The belief be-
came history at the presidential prl-
maries in May, when Mr.. Seul]y was
elected delegate to Baltimore by a
!, ,tt-7e2lendous majority, in face Of anti
Wilson sentiment aroused by ex-Sen-
ator Jim" Smith.
Is Personal Friend.
Congressman Scully spoke of his
leaning towards Congressman
Hughes, who "chummed" with him
at Baltimore, when asked directly
whether or not he expected to enter
the senatorial race. He was in
formed that many of his friends in
the third district were out strong
for him. Mr.. Scully referred to Mr..
hughes candidacy and declared he
would not oppose him.
Instead, Congressman scully says
be Is out for reelection and hopes
chat his candidacy will meet with
general approval. In closing, he
added: II have always tried to prove
to my constituents that their conf
dence in me is not misplaced. l will
go up to South Amboy next week and
begin my active campaign"

USE Steel IN
NEW BUILDING;
Change Plans for the Kant
Structure.

Original plans for the Kant build
ing at State and Smith streets have
been altered and instead of iron con-
struction Architect J. K. Jensen has
supplanted steel. When the new
building is complete it will be the
first steel building in this city. Al
though the original plans were to
make the building fireproof, yet the
change will make it doubly so. The
work towards the erection of the
frame was started by the general
contractor, Ira r. Grouse, this
morning.
A portion of the lower walls have
been torn away and work will be
rushed in this line so as to allow the
frame work to go ahead without de-
lay. AS yet, Miss Agnes Kant says
that she has not made any definite
arrangements for the rental Of the
building.
