Tablets Were for Indigestion
SAVED FROM DEATH BY
QUICK MEDICAL AID.

EpscfaI to the EVENING NFWs.


Tottenville, July 2S.-Though he
swallowed thirty-two grains of two
tablets of blchloride of mercury
Saturday afternoon, Vincent Oliveria
thirty-two years old, of Kreischer-
vile, Staten Island, is today rocov-
ering from the effects of the poison
at Smith Infirmary, West Brighton.
The two tablets were taken intact
by Oliveria, who mistook the blush
pellets for indigestion medicine,
which he had ordered from a drug
store. Both prescriptions were sent
to Kiefer's hotel In Broadway, Tot
tenville where Oliveria spent most of
Saturday, and as the victim is not
well conversant with English, he
swallowed blohloride mercury tablets
which were to be used by Mrs. Kie-
fer in bathing her feet, instead of
the pellets for his indigestion.
In addition to being a shoemaker
at kreischerville, Oliveria aceompan-
les his trade with participation in
the part OF music and is proficient
with the clarionet and mandolin.
He had been in the habit OF playing
the mandolin on holidays and Satur-
days at Kiefer's hostelry. He had
kept himself at the hotel, where he
had room most of the day. About
o'clock in the afternoon two bot
ties of medicine arrived from a local
druggist. They were put on q ia
BILE In the hall together, one mark
ed "Bichloride of Mercury-Poi-
son." and the other some simple
designation. Oliveria found both
bottles where they had been depos-
tied, and instead of taking his indi-
gestion medicine to his room he took
the poison, not being able to under
stand the labels on either. lmme-
diately on reaching his apartment he
put two of the blush tablets in his
mouth and washed them down with
drink of water.
Directly he became nauseated, and
came down to the bar of the hotel,
where he complained to the proprie-
tor that he was sick, and told him
that he had taken two blush tablets.
Mrs. Keifer at once recognized what
he had done and probably only her
quick actions saved his life. She has
tened him back to his room and after
giving him milk, mustard and other
home emetics. In the meantime Mr.
Keifer summoned DR.. Renwick, Of
Pleasant Plains, and DR.. Washington,
of Tottenville. Before DR.. Renwick
started for the hotel he gave the sim
pie home antidotes over the tele-
phone, and then with his emetics he
hastened to the scene. The doctors
were able to relieve the victim s
stomach of practically all the poison,

Smith Infirmary was notified and
an ambulance arrived in about
twenty minutes. A few grains of
bichloride of mercury is fatal to

Make Demands on Mexico.

Washington, July 2S.-The Huerta
government In Mexico has received
from the administration at Washing
ton the most drastic representations
yet made.
The United States government de-
manded not only the prompt arrest,
court martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
Charles B. Dixon, an American immi-
grafton official at Juarez. Mexico, but
the immediate release of two mining
engineers-Charles Bissell of New York
city and Bernard Mcdonald, an Eng
lishman-imprisoned by federal SOL
diers at chihuahua City without cause
and said to be threatened with execu-
ton. They were arrested for aiding
American refugees in leaving Mexico
and were prisoners for several days
before the United States government
learned Of their plight
So serious were these incidents re-
garded In official circles that they over
shadowed largely the theoretical con-
sideratons Of policy which the visit
of AmbassadorAHenry Lane Wilson
had brought to climax. The ambas-
sador was so exercised by the develop
ments In Mexico that he dictated two
strong kilograms, one to the embassy
at the City of Mexico and the other to
the American consul at Juarez, and,
while Secretary of State Bryan slightly
modified their tone, they were dis
patched promptly.
TWO Reports of Shooting.
1t was not until yesterday that the
admtnistrat ton received an official re-
port on the shooting of Immigration
Inspector Dixon. This came from two
sources. The state department re-
ceiyed a reoprt from the American
consul at Juarez, Thomas ID. Edwards,
and Secretary of Labor Wilson recelv-
ed an account of the shooting from
Immigration Inspector Berkshire, in
charge of the Ell Paso district. Both
were laid before the president They
corroborated the press dispatches and
stated that Mr.. Dixon was arrested
while in pursuance of his duty as an
Immigration inspector and while at
work on white slave case.

SCULLY GIVES
HIS CONSENT
VIII be Candidate for Demo-
cratic State Committeeman

Congressman Thomas ]. Scully,
now serving his second term as rep
resentative from the Third Congress
sional District and recognized as the
most leading exponent of Middlesex
Democracy, will serve this county on
the Democratic State Committee af-
ter the primaries. After solicitations
from number of political friends,
who know the popularity of the Con-
gressman with the people in the
county, Mr.. Scully decided to allow
his named to be entered in the De-
mocratic primary in September as a
candidate for the nomination to re-
present this county on the Democrat
ic State Committee, which comes III
existence officially under the Geran
law for the first time next fall.
Mr.. Scully's receiving the nomina-
tion Is assured as he is desired by
both the county and city organiza-
tions to be a member of the State
Committee, and as yet no other op-
ponent has presented himself-and
no one Is expected to do 80. Mr..
Scully, 1t seems, is the unanimous
choice of the Democrats of MiddleseX
Under the new law, as only one
may serve from each county on the
committee, leading Democrats say
that there Is no other man in the
county so we'll qualified in every way
as is Mr.. Scully for this important
position They believe him to be as
acceptable to the rank and file of the
party as well as the leaders. A petit
tion will soon be filed with the county
clerk for Mr.. Scully's candidacy as
provided by the Geran Act, which
says that such petitions shall be on
file thirty days before the primary,
which is on September 90. The can
didacy of Mr.. Scully will mean the
retirement of Edward Furman, of
this county, who Is q member-at-
large of the committee, as under the
Geran act there will be no members
at large.
BY being member of the State Com
mittee Mr.. Scully will also be a mem
ber Of the state convention, which
will be held one week from the date
of the primary, and will thereby rep
resent Middlesex Democrats in the
forming of state platform. The
convention will be composed OF the
candidates of the party for assembly
and the senate, candidate for COVER
nor, members of the senate, whose
terms are yet unexpired, and mem
bers of the State Committee.
Though No man has been put forth
by the Republicans of the county, as
yet, for the position on the party's
State Committee, still Theodore
Strong at present member of the
committee has been mentioned as a
probable aspirant, and possibly John
Pfeiffer, chairman OF the Republican
County Committee.
1t is believed that the Progressive
candidate will be former Judge Ad-
rian Lyon. though as yet no final ac-
ton in the matter has been taken.
1t is said that the Bull Moosers de-
sire the former Judge to represent
them on the State Committee, but
when the latter was asked If he
would be a candidate he stated that
the matter had not yet been definite
ly considered, adding "If some other
good man wants 1t, let him have It,"
According to the Geran Act petitions
for nomination of candidates for the
state commftteeship shall be filed
with the county clerk by August "a
