Washington, July acknowledge
of the act concerning the relation of
Villa and Carranza is being eagerly
sought by this government. A COM
|plete report from Consul Carothers,
who was with Villa, is being for
warded. ..-
Carothers reached Ell Paso yester-
day and his report Is believed to be
in the mails. Meanwhile the belief
grows here that villa will be hard
to keep in check although officials do
not expect any move from him that
will hamper the establishment OF a
provisional government in Mexico.
Because of the fear that a break
must come, however, an official inves-
tigation is being made Of the report
that arms and ammunition are being
smuggied across the border in large
quantities. Naturally these are all
consigned to Villa, who will be so
we'll armed II the traffic Is not halted
soon that he can start a new counter
revolution and prosecute 1t for weeks
on his own reserve resources. Ac-
cording to reports received, every
thing is quiet In Mexico City.
A complete understanding is look
ed for between CarranZa and the ex-
listing government and then Carranza
is expected to take the city and
formally proclaim his own govern
ment.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jamesburg, July 20--Another res
ident Of this place has fallen vic
tim Of a bullet, making the third
person to be rushed to st. Peters
hospital within three weeks from
this place.
The victim of Saturday nights
shooting was George Miller, a farm
er, employed by Joseph Appiegate
on the farm known as the Rue
farm" and so many conflicting sto-
ries are told by those intimately
connected with the affair who are
supposed to be able to throw some
light on the case that many are led
to believe that the affair was not
one of accidental shooting, as the
victim would have his friends to be-
lieye.
Only One Witness.
There was but one witness to the
shooting, Miss Minnie Bennett.
daughter of Elias Bennett, Sr., and
she claims that the thot was fred
by the accidental discharge OF the
pistol
Miller lies in critical condition
at St. Peters hospital, with little
hope for his recovery.
Pedestrians SATURDAY. night were
startled to hear the discharge OF a
pistol in the parlor Of the Bennett
home and the subsequent piercing
scream of female voice. Soon the
whole neighborhood was in an up
roar and the house filled with peo-
pie, attracted to the scene by the
shot and the female voice. Miller
was found writhing on the floor OF
the home with his sweetheart by his
side with her arms about him.
DR.. John l.. Suydam was sum-
moned and after a casual examina-
ton, decided that the injured youth
be hurried to the hospital Miller
was placed in the Bennett automo-
bile and rushed 10 New Brunswick,
where an immediate operation was
performed.
Miller In a statement placed all
the blame for the affair on his own
carelessness. He said he was afraid
to 20 to the Applegate farm where
ne was employed and purchased the
pistol for protection. 1t was while
handling the pistol and slowing Miss
Bennett how they worked that 1t was
discharged His version OF the af-
fair is that he was about to put the
pistol In his pocket, and when the
hammer got fastened in some of his
clothing he raised the hammer to
dislodge same when it was dis
charged.
Bullet in Stomach.
The bullet, a twenty-five calibre,
entered the stomach on the right
side and passed through the intes-
tine, severing one completely and
piercing three others. AS far as the
doctors can trace the bullet 1t pass
ed across the stomach and lodged in
the fatty portion Of the body, d.
rectly beneath the liver.
1t was after Miller was informed
that there was but a slight hope
held out for his recovery that Miller
let slip several statements that has
led many to believe that ne inflicted
the shot while temporarily discour-
aged over his love affair Once when
closely questioned In the hospital
about telling the truth, . he re-
piled. "Oh, why did l do it?" "Oh
why did do it?"
Miller's courtship of Miss Bennett
has not been looked on with favor
by the parents of the girl, who Ia
