HEAT CAUSESONE
MAN TOFALL AND
AFFECTSO SOTHERS

Being overcome by the excessive
heat yesterday afternoon, Chris Sam
soc, Of 556 Sayre avenue, fell from
the roof Of two and half story
building in Market street on which
he was working and, although the
distance was thirty-five eet, no bones
were broken. Samsoe is employed as
a carpenters helper by Chris Ander-

the injured man removed to DR..
Meinzer's Office, where 1t was found
he was suffering from the shock and
bruises.
While working on the paving OF

laborer, of GIG Amboy avenue, was
prostrated by the heat yesterday af-
ternoon. He was attended by Dr. G.
w. Tyrrell and later taken to his
home. The man is much improved
today.
Signs OF rain give promise OF re-
lief this afternoon. At 2 o'clock
the temperature registered at eighty
four, with the mercury still climb
ing. The rain yesterday and the
few drops which fell this afternoon,
strengthens the faith of some peo-
pie in the belief that St. Swithin's
day showers mean forty more days
OF rain.

MAY
TAKE UP BRIDGE
APPR0ACH PLANS

The construction Of permanent
approaches to the proposed Convery
place bridge is scheduled to be taken
committee meeting tonight. 1t is
proposed to expend large sum to
permanently pave Convery place,
from gutter to gutter, between New
Brunswick avenue and Smith street.
The distance is about 2,700 feet. 1t
is likely that the street surface will
be of brick or asphalt block. Alder
men declare that the approaches must
be permanently paved before the
proposed bridge is put in use and
that efforts will be made to use the
best and most durable kind OF sur
face.
Plans for the proposed bridge,
which is to span the Lehigh Valley
tracks in the western part of the city
SO as to link the northwestern and
southwestern sections together, are
out among contractors for estimates.
Bids are scheduled to be received by
the Board of Freeholders at their
meeting Monday afternoon. 1t is
likely that they will be opened at
that time, considered briefly and
then referred to the committee of
the whole for mature deliberation.
1t is probable, though somewhat
doubtful, that the contract will be
awarded on Monday, July 27, when
the board meets again, it was stated
among the freeholders today. One
of the officials declared that the
board had to proceed with caution
regarding every step to see that 1t
was legal, as certain persons in the
New Brunswick end Of the county
appeared to be looking for loop
holes that they might upset the free

SKOW DENIES HE
HIRED PETERSON
TO OPPOSE WILL
SPECIAL BY United Press Wire

SPECIAL BY United Press Wire
New Brunswick, July 17:--An ac-
-tion to break the will OF the late
Peter Skow, milk dealer, in Port
Reading, is being heard before Judge
Daily here today. Judge John W..
Beekman, of the law firm of Beck
man & Spencer, Of Perth Amboy, Is
appearing in behalf Of the four chill
-dren, who were not considered In
the making OF the will. Joseph e.
Stricken, assisted by Foster M. Voor-
hees, appears in behalf of the will.
In response to questions by Judge
DAILY, Peter Skow, Jr., testified that
he had never engaged Peter A.
Peterson, Perth Amboy lawyer, to
file a caveat against his fathers will.
The witness gave an emphatic mo"
for an answer when Judge DAILY asked
if he had ever authorized the filing
of caveat by Peter A. Peterson.
Skow stated that he had last seen
the lawyer about year ago before
the will case was made public. He
testified to having then engaged him
to bring suit for the loss Of his big
toe. That case, he stated, was set
tied. The next time he saw the law
yer, Skow stated, was about two
weeks ago at Railway. Skow testi-
fed that Mr.. Stricken was the first
to inform him of the filing OF a
caveat.
Skow went on to tell that he went
away from home about eight years
ago, because his father had COM
PEELED him to do so. At the time, he
stated, his father owned farm Of
forty-three acres, five horses and
twenty-three cows, valued at about
$12, 900. He became friendly with
his father later and remained SO un-
til about year ago, when he went
away and became married. His
father disagreed with him and asked
that he endeavor to procure d.
vorce, stating that he would pay the
expenses of such case. The son
refused.
Christian Skow, another son, was
the next witness called and he was
on the stand when the noon recess
was taken. He testified to leaving
his father In 1901 because he was
doing a mans work at the age of
fourteen years. He came back about
a year later and the father treated
him we'll for about month, he said.
The father became Ill and was
confined in hospital during which
time, Christian took care Of his milk
business. Someone told the elder
Skow that the son was not conduct
ing the business properly and as
consequence, he abused the boy when
he had recovered, the witness de-
clared. A little later, the elder
Skow told Christian that he had
drawn a will and that 1t was not
satisfactory. He asked that the
young man accompany him to the
ONCE OF a lawyer in Perth Amboy to
have a new will made. He was kill
ed q few weeks later.
