FOUND DEAD IN
FIELD WITH HIS
HEAD SHOT OFF
Farmer Near Jamesburg While
Working in Field Carried
Gun to Shoot Crows and is
Accidentally Shot in Head.
REFUTE SUICIDE REPORT
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Jamesburg, June 19-Samuel Sc
ligman, thirty-five years old, of
Gravel Hill, was found dead in a field
of corn yesterday afternoon, and the
left side of his head completely blown
away. From the position of the
body and the gun that was RESPONSE
BILE for the fatality, Seligman was
evidently the victim of an accidental
death. The supposition is that the
gun was accidentally discharged.
Seligman's body was discovered by
a man from Freehold, whose name
cannot be learned, who was engaged
in carting cement blocks to the Sc
ligman farm. He was just entering
the lane and hearing the report of a
gun saw the man topple from the
farm machine on which he was rid
ing. Rushing to the spot he found
the man apparently dead and run
ming to the house a short distance
from the scene, notified the wife.
DR.. w. Edward Anderson, of Eng
lishtown, was summoned and ar
rived In few minutes as he was al
ready on his way to visit a patient
close by At first 1t w2s thought
that it was a case of deliberate sui
eide, but from a statement from his
wife and children, a different story
is learned.
According to his wife the dead
man had been troubled with large
number Of crows, who we're creating
havoc with his corn. 1t was to abate
this loss that Seligman procured the
gun. He fastened the firearm to the
cultiVator he was riding, with the
barrel pointing upwards and it is
supposed that in making a short turn
some part of the machine came in
contact with the trigger that had
been cooked. The body fell to the
rear and this lead one to think that
he was walking when he met his
death. In his pockets were a num-
Der of loaded shells and this also
tends to disprove the suicide theory.
County Physician Edgar Carroll. of
Dayton, was notified, but after hear
ing Dr.. Anderson's story thought 1t
not of questionable case and placed
the body in his care, deeming a visit
TO the scene not necessary.
Seligman came to this place sew
eral years ago from New York city
and bought a small farm. He was
evidently prospering. He leaves a
wife and four children, a son twelve
years old and three small daughters.
The body was inferred in the Jewish
cemetery at Perrineville before sun
set

Huerta Must Recede.

Cpeclu| " OHftcd freS5 WTS.
Washington, June 18: - Unless
the Huertista commissioners at Nj
agara Falls recede, mediation is at
an end. 1t is frankly stated here
without qualification that the United
States had given the last word.
Either Huerta retires voluntarily In
favor of a provisional government,
dominated by the constitutionalists
or the United States will openly aid
the rebels.
There will be no invasion by the
United States troops, but as soon as
the mediation collapses the embargo
on arms from the north will again
be lifted in favor of the constitu-
tionalfsts. There will be no discrim-
inaion against Huerta other than
that Vera Cruz will continue to be
held against him and he will have
to purchase any ammunition he
needs abroad and get them through
some other port. Mexican affairs
were again to be a subject of dis
cussion at today's regular cabinet
meeting. Secretary Bryan was still
a believer that the Huerta envoys
will recede from their position and
accept a provisional president with
strong constitutionalist leanings.

MR.. AFFLERbACH
SECRETLY WEDS
MISS MAC ARTHUR

! Despite all efforts on the part of
the principals to keep it secret, It
has become known that r. V. Afler-
bach, public playground supervisor
| in this city, and Miss Daisy l..
Macarthur, of Tottenyille, are mar
! ried. Just when the wedding took
place and who married them, Mr.
Afflerbach could not recall today, but
he believed that it was early in
| March The marriage license was
procured at St George, S. l., and the
ceremony was performed in New
| York City.
Mr.. Afflerbach said he met his
/ bride-to-be by pre-arrangement at
| the railroad station in Tottenville
| one morning and they had gone to
get a license and to be wed. Two
strangers were engaged to act as wit
| nesses. After the knot had been
tied, Mr.. Afflerbach returned and re-
| sumed his duties as physical instruc-
tor at Peddie Institute in Hightstown
and his bride went to her home in
Tottenville.
| There was much CONSERVATION in
| both the Afflerbach and Macarthur
| homes last week when it became
known that the wedding had taken
place. Mrs. Afflerbachs parents
\ were the first to hear it. While the
! brides parents we're inclined to OBJ
| ject to the match at first, they finally
accepted the inevitable and Mr.
| Afflerbach stated today that his wife
! had about become reconciled at her
| home. 1t appears to be different at
the home of Mr.. Afflerbach, however
He left his parents roof when the
report of the wedding became known
| there week ago today and, with his
| wife, started housekeeping at 105
Rector street. Mr.. Afflerbach' s
mother refused TO discuss the affair
! today and it was evident from her
conversation that she was highly dis
pleased
| The former Miss Macarthur lived
l. in Connecticut prior to taking Ut
! her residence in Tottenville. Thu
couple have known each other for
some time and Mr.. Afflerbach said
| the wedding was the result of a
romance lasting over two years. They
had intended to be married in Tot
tenville and we're disappointed when
the wedding had to be postponed a
night because a wedding license
could only be obtained at St. George
AS q result, they deferred intentions
until the following morning when
| they went to st. George, where the
| license was secured and from there
continued on to Manhattan, where
the ceremony took place.
Following the wedding Mrs
| Afflerbach went to the home of her
parents and her husband returned to
live at his home, following his return
from Hightstown. They took every
precaution to keep the union a secret,
but it finally got out. Mr.. Afflerbach
said today that the only way it could
have become known was through a
letter he sent to his wife, addressed
Mrs. R. V. Afflerbacn."

ton avenue, appealed to the police

whether her husband, who mystic
riously disappeared May 81, is still

Ing, May 81, without telling his wife
to what place he was going. She has

SALOON ROBBED
WHEN OWNER|S
NOT WATCHING

A man entered the Anchor cafe at
299 New Brunswick avenue, shortly
after 10 o'clock last night. About
II o'clock Martin Bartos, proprietor
of the place, sorted out the contents
Of the cash register, placing more
than 800 in cash and about $100 in

he saw that the sullen looking man
was the only customer in the bar
room. The proprietor left the room
again and returning found the man
gone.
About one-half hour later Mr..
Bartos searched in the compartment
behind the bar for the money and
checks, but they too were gone. Mr..
Bartos did not know the man who
had attracted attention during the
evening by his unsociableness. The
wallet stolen had been used by the
proprietor for fourteen years, during
which time every night he would
empty the cash register and remove
the days proceeds to his bedroom for
safe keeping.
AS soon as the proprietor discover
ed the theft, he notified Patrolman
A. Jensen, who reported the robbery
at headquarters. Detective Ser
geants Huff and Long are working on
the case. Early this morning Mr..
Bartos notified the First National
Bank and Perth Amboy Trust Com
pany not to cash any of the checks,

u. S. Army Will Not Invade
Mexico, but When Peace
Conference CoIIapses En-
barge on Arms to be Lifted.
AND WILL HOLD VERA CRUZ
Sp 7nial bv United Press Wire.


Niagara Falls, June 19:-Failure
of the mediation plan to insure peace
in Mexico was believed almost a cer-
tainty today. The American and
Mexican delegates were irreconcila-
bly, divided on the personnel of the
proposed provisional government.
The faint hope yet remaining is that
the mediators themselves may pick a
Mexican to the presidency agreeable
to both factions and this will involve
at least recession on the part Of
either the American or Mexican dele
gates. The mediation meetings may
end today unless there is a backing
down by one or the other side. The
firm stand by the American ENJOYS
that constitutionalist must be
named is met by the equally firm
declaration by the Huertas that the
federal government in Mexico cannot
acquiesce.

President Wilson Puts
His Trust Policy Into
One Bill in Congress

Washington, April 15.-Important
changes in the Administration pro-
gram of antitrust legislation are
proposed in a bill introduced in the
blouse by Representative Clayton,
chairman of the Committee on the
judiciary.
BY direction of President Wilson the
|anti-trust program, heretofore made
fnp of four tentative bills, is embodied
! n one measure. 1t is the opinion of
fhe Administration leaders that II
will be easier to pass one anti trust
Tbill than a series of four.
The revised program softens the re-
ktrictive features of the original bills
fn some respects. This is notably the
|case in the provisions dealing with
holding companies. Other features OF
the revised program are more drastic
than those provided in the first in
Stance.
This is true in the matter of the
against interlucking d.
fectorates. In the antitrust bills as
originally presented subsidiary con-
cerns representing the Legitimate
growth of corporations We're prohibit
Red. Under the revised program the
Eholding company prohibition does NOT
Epply to subsidiaries of this character.
The new feature of the new anti
trust program that is expected to cause
p lot OF trouble in a political way is 10
be found in the provisions dealing
with labor.

Parafin Bath Heated
to l25 Degrees Is New
Rheumatism Treatment

Paris, April is. A paraffin wax
bath, heated to 1875 degrees Fahren-
heit, is a new treatment for rheuma-
tism, sciatica, gout and kindred all
ments, as described by DR.. Barthe de
Sandfort at the Academy of Medicine
last night.
The physician, 1nding that super
heated wax applied to wounds, burns
and ulcers removed all pain and
caused them to heal rapidly, was led
to believe that it might be advan.
tageously applied to the whole body.
Accordingly he went to an oil refinery
and got into vat containing 100 gall
Ions of wax at temperature of 140
degrees. Not only did this cause no
burning, but it resulted in a pleasant
sensation. A number of patients suf-
fering with various ailments We're then
put through the same process. with
results that exceeded the physician S
expectations.
DR.. Sandfort communicated his dis
coveries of the properties of hot wax
to DR.. Alexis Carrel. of the Rockefeller
Institute. New York. who is said to
have used it with great success in con-
nection with skin grating experiments.
