It is hard enough for professional attn
lete to undergo that sort OF exercise. and
the athlete has been reared ana trained
for physical exertion.
Plenty Of oxygen and lots Of bathing
(varied with salt baths) are better than
work in the gymnasium for the torrid
days. Fresh air. walking. or whatever
takes the mind of the effect Of the heat
and of business. will pay q higher divi-
dend.
The business man who begins his exer-
else In the summer undertakes a risky
contract. He needs something other than
his work. but he does not need severe
physical exhaustion.
On the other hand. let us take the bust
ness man who is accustomed to his gym
nasium or road work. He likely feels
that he wants to keep 1t UP to some ex-
tent The best time for him to look after
this work in summer Is early In the
morning. before the heat has become 20
pronounced Were he to vary his oper-
atoms with swimming he would be ahead
OF the game, although too much SWIM
ming also carries its penalties. Ten min
utes in the water Is long enough.
II the exercise Is to be confined chiefly
to swimming, then evening Ii also q COM

freedom from the heat and ample physi-
cal action.
But any form OF exercise during the hot

at Greenwich, Conn. His car was north
bound in West End avenue. and q large
car. in which four men were seated. was
making west along I'D street. The two
machines reached the corner at the same
time and were upon each other before
the chauffeurs saw their danger. Mr..
Seligman's chauffeur attempted to put on
speed and shoot ahead Of the machine
that was bearing down on It. But he
was a second too late, and the other car
plunged into the left rear wheel Of Selig-
mans machine. The tire and rim were
smashed off the wheel and the car made
complete circle. striking the sidewalk
on the northeast corner of the street.
Mr.. Seligman was on the left-hand side
in the rear seat. The impact when the
automobile hit the curb was so great that
he was shot over the head of his COM
panion and landed on his head against

distant relative Of Mr.. Seligman, was his
companion on the rear seal, and was also
thrown out Of the machine, his body fall
ing beside that OF Mr.. Seligman.

In the other car were Russell W. Stu
art and three friends It was brought to
a stop at once, and the occupants hurried
to the aid Of Mr.. Seligman. He was dead,
however. Mr.. Ranger was not seriously
hurt. The chauffeur. Harry Larkin. had
managed to stick to his wheel and escape
injury.
A large crowd soon collected, and extra
policemen were put on duty to preserve
order. The body Of Mr.. Seligman was
carried into the residence of Mrs. John
S. Huyler, widow Of the candy manu-
facturer at 3O1 West I'D street, and was
later removed to the West 6Sth street po-
lice station.

years old. He was formerly treasurer of
the Anglo-American Bank but retired
several years ago to devote all his time to
art. He kept a bachelor partment and
studio at 16 East Goth street, where he
spent much OF his time painting and mod
cling In clay. He was also a musician.
He was the financial hacker of the Young
Mems Symphony Orchestra, in which he
himself played the first cello.

PHILADELPHIA, June 25.-Bishop AL

MAKE REQUEST
FOR M0RE'C0PS
Business Section Said to be
Not Properly Protected.

Pressure is being brought to bear
on the authorities to have at least
one more policeman for day duty in
the principal business center of the
city. Merchants along Smith and
State streets are complaining about
the small amount of attention from
the police and there is talk of pre-
pairing a petition for presentation to
the Board of Aldermen concerning
the subject. While all of fifteen ad-
ditioual patrolman are needed, n
more is urgently needed in the bust
center, Chief of Police Burke says.
1t is declared that politics is in
yolyed in the matter. One of the
men most strongly opposed to nam
ing of policemen at this time, and
who held up Patrolman Woods ap-
p~lication for pension for a day or
two, is Alderman Richard j. Calvin,
chairman of the police committee.
1t is understood upon good author
ity that he will have the naming of
at least one policeman should a DEM
ocratic mayor be elected this fall.
Under the present method of choos-
ing policemen, they are appointed
by the mayor, subject to confirma-
ton by the council.
Appeals have been made verbally
to the chief to have another man
patrol Smith and State streets in
conjunction with Patrolman Tonne
sen, who is required to cover Smith
street from Staten Island ferry to
the Central depot, and State street
from Smith to Buckingham avenue
and adjacent streets. He has found
it impossible to do the work and as
q result, State street from about
Center street to Buckingham avenue,
received little attention, as does the
section of Smith street between
Madison avenue and the Central
railroad crossing. 1t has been pro-
posed by the chief to have Patrolman
Timothy j. Quinlan help out with
Officer Tonnesen on Smith and State
streets and New Brunswick avenue,
as before the shakeup of last Novem-
Der, but despite the fact that he has
the authority to place his men, he
does not feel disposed to do so. The
principal reason seems to be that
other authorities have so often step
ped in and usurped his powers.

KICKED FAMILY
OUT OF DOORS
Mike NOvak Sentenced to
Year in Jail.

Cruelty on the part of Mike Novak,
q Slav, t~hirty-six years old, of AIT
Lawton Place, in beating and kicking
his wife and chasing her and their
three little children from their home
last night caused Recorder Kehoe to
sentence him to serve a year in Jail
this morning. Novak admitted he
had been twice before the court, and
the police recognized him as a con
frmed ~wifebeater. Recorder Kehoe
said he would be lenient with him
and then issued a commitment for a
year in the county jail.
Patrolman MCGOWAN discovered a
pitiful scene after having been de-
tailed to the Novak home. He found
the woman and children outside cry
ing, having been locked out by the
drunken parent. DR.. Charles |. Silk
was administering medical attend
ance to the woman where she had
been beaten and kicked by her hus-
band. He hit her head so hard as to
cause severe earache and kicked her
IN the abdomen and thigh, she testi-
fed. She told the court it was i'm
possible to live with Novak when he
was under the influence Of liquor.
The woman sobbingly told of how he
had wrecked a part of their home,
breaking glass in several doors and
windows, and how he had beaten her
on other occasions.
The accused man was arrested
about s o'clock last night by Officer
MCGOWAN, after he had trailed the
drunken man to a saloon in New
Brunswick avenue near Washington
street.

.|NVENTS A NEW
CONCRETE TILE
Local Man Puts It Up to
Lehigh Valley.

A new kind of concrete tie, de-
clared by the maker to be adaptable
to all kinds of railroad work, has
been perfected by Charles A. Mundy,
a local mason, who enlarged the
uses for concrete by making it
waterproof a few years ago. Mr..
Mundy believes he has reached the
acme of perfection in the making Of
his concrete railroad tie. His Singh
lar kind of reinforcement, coupled
with advantages of a~daptabil1ty to
bridge. and most every other kind Of
railroad work, leads him to believe
he has the idea that will revolution
ize the Misunderstanding industry.
He opened negotiations this morning
with the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company for a rigid test of his pro-
duct.
There are approximately ITO
kinds of concrete railroad ties. Many
kinds of reinforcement are used, but
in his idea Mr.. Mundy believes he
has the ideal one, the one that will
hold the tie together under all con-
ditions. AS yet he Is not prepared
to divulge his secret to the public.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has been experimenting with
concrete ties reinforced with old
boiler tubes. They have served the
purpose of wooden ties In a number
of cases, but cannot be declared a
real success, 1t Is claimed.
Mr.. Mundy says n OF the big
advantages of his make Of concrete
tie Is the fact that 1t can be used on
railroad bridges by means of "U"
irons, which can be made in any size
to fit the superstructure.

MATTER OF RIPARIAN
RIGHTS TO COME UP

The matter of securing riparian
tights to the ends of Buckingham
avenue, Washington, Commerce and
Fayette streets, and to ascertain
what right, if any, the city has to
Land between high and low water
marks at the foot of Washington
street, Is likely to be brought up at
q committee meeting of the Board
OF Aldermen tomorrow night. Acting
Mayor Garretson has learned thai
the city secured some rights for use
OF land at the end of Washington
street, but he Is uncertain as to the
nature of the privileges.
1t appears to the acting mayor
that the city was granted some con-
cession when it laid a sewer at the
easterly end OF Washington street.
He states the city does not want to
buy riparian rights over again should
It own them now.
The city fathers may definitely de-
eide tomorrow night whether the
Perth Amboy e Tottenville Ferry
Company shall continue on its pres
ent course to secure riparian rights
for Buckingham avenue directly
from the state, or wait until the city
has purchased the rights for the four
streets and then lease from the city.
The latter method is favored by all
of the aldermen, yet they admit
that they are at present doing moth
ing to carry u their desires in that
direction. One of the city fathers
said n of the big obstacles to pur-
CHASING grants was finances.

EXPECT RUSH
AT DRY DOCKS
Many Boats Being Overhaul
ed--FaIl Prospect Good.

From the amount of construction
and repair work or hand at the pres
ent time 1t is the opinion OF the
officials of both the Perth Amboy and
Raritan Dry Docks that the rush
during the fall season will be the
greatest in the past twenty-five years.
Lack of lumber at the Perth Amboy
docks is holding up the construction
of several floats for the Bush Termt-
nal Company. The docks at both
places are crowded with craft being
overhauled for the winter.
st the Raritan docks plans are be-
fng made for the construction Of two
1000 ton barges. Work on these
will be rushed through so as to COM
mence operations on smaller scoWs
and lighters. One of the largest car
floats to be used by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is being CON
structed at the Perth Amboy docks.
1t is two hundred and fifty feet long.
Several scows and lighters for the
Bush Terminal Company will also be
turned out from the Perth Amboy
docks shortly.
At the Perth Amboy docks the fol-
lowing boats are being overhauled:
odIdl bdCOH, Do0h
nal car float No. 3b; tug Lehlgh,
schooner Charles Church ana Tug
William Shaubel.
On the docks of the Raritan COM
pany the following are being painted
and made ready for the fall: Schoon-
or George B. Hudson, Fireproofng
boat No. IS, barges President, Tone,
Arthur, Puritan and the Joseph
6tingy.
At the Schantz & Eckert foundry
five engines are under construction.
Two of the engines will be placed In
twin screw tug boats to be used in
Mexican waters. One will be the
property of the New York and New
Jersey Steamboat Company, while
two 300-horse-power engines Will be
sent to the McClaury Line, of New
Yrok.
