PEOPLE
WERE DROWNED
OFF KEYPORT.
South AmhOy Youth and KeYpOrt
Girl Were Out Rowing Last
Might Boat Tied to Stake.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

KEYPORT, June 25:--Miss Kath-
ryn Stryker, about nineteen years
old, who had for several months at
tended Trainers Private School in
Perth Amboy and whose home was at
Keyport, and her escort, Bert Test,
of South Amboy, were drowned in
Raritan bay last night while out row.
ing. The young mans body was re-
covered at 6:45 o'clock this morning
and Miss Stryker's body was found
by Scott Hopkins at $50.
Circumstances are Mysterious.
Mystery shrouds the drowning, as
the boat in which the young couple
had been rowing was found this
morning tied to stake on Cliffwood
flats, about a quarter of mile from
shore. In it were Tests hat and coat.
The boy and girl went out in the
boat about $50 o'clock last night.
AS the hours flew by and they had
not returned, Miss Stryker's folks be-
came worried. An alarm was sent
out and the bodies were found, three
hours apart, this morning.
Miss Stryker was the only daugh-
ter of Captain Holmes Stryker, of
Keyport She was a remarkably
pretty girl and had won many warm
friends in Perth Amboy during her
course at Trainers school, from
which she was about to graduate.
She was a graduate of Keyport high
school and member of the First
Baptist church, of Keyport. Test,
who has a sister in Perth Amboy, had
been employed in Keyport for some
time
Many boats were put out early this
morning to search for the bodies, and
much excitement prevailed. The find
ing of the boat fast to stake lends
an air of mystery to the fatality. 1t
could not have been caused by the
upsetting of the boat, as it was found
upright tied to the stake. IT cannot
be determined whether they fell at
once or whether one fell overheard
and the other was drowned in an ef-
fort to effect a rescue.
The bodies were removed to Be-
dies undertaking parlors pending a
decision by the coroner as to whether
an inquest was necessary. 1t was de-.
cided not to hold an inquest. The
bodies were viewed by Drs. Hoagland
and Johnson.
DR.. G. G. Hoagland said today that,
in his opinion, there are no suspic-
ious circumstances surrounding the
accident.
There are no contusions or marks
on the bodies of either of the young
people," said DR.. Hoagland, land
everything indicates that 1t was
wholly accidental. A flat-bottomed
boat is mighty hard to upset, but it's
very easy to fall overheard from. A
person falling overheard at night and
hindered by clothing, has difficult
time to swim to safety"

OVER
The COURSE
FOR AUTOS.
South AmbOy'S Mayor Ordered a
Sign Post Directing a Certain
Route Be Cut Down.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

SOUTH AMBOY, June 25.-Auto-
mobiles, and the route they should
take through the borough, was the
cause of considerable excitement here
yesterday and Mayor Treganowan
took an active part.
After coming through the famous
hole in the wall" the autoists are
naturally somewhat bewildered and
they do not know their way through
South Amboy. The shortest route to
the shore would be across Stevens
avenue, thus cutting out the main
part of the borough, but Stevens ave-
nue. is in a horrible condition, the
cutters at the several crossings being
deep and round, enough to break any
machine .unless running slowly. The
best course, although the longest,
would be down Main street, through
Broadway, and out Bordentown ave-
nue.. The merchants also think this
route would do them the most good.
The dispute arose over the course
to take. Mayor Treganowan wants
the autos to cross Stevens avenue,
and others favor the Broadway route
Those of the latter faith caused a
sign to be placed at the corner where
the turn should be made, directing
the autoists down Main street to
Broadway. When Mayor Treganow-
an heard of this he ordered the pole
cut down. He also, it is stated,
threatened to arrest anyone who in
terfered with the automobiles cross
ing Stevens avenue.
In the meantime, Edward Furman
stationed himself at the corner and
as the autos came along he told them
to go by way of Broadway as it was
the better road
The mayor with his forces came
up, but Mr.. Furman refused to be
frightened and in sight of such a
display of force again directed the
next automobile by way of Broad
way
This was direct defiance, but no
arrests were made. The outcome is
awaited with interest.
