SLAIN IN WOODS
VICTIM IN OLD NAN.
Hermit's Body, Tightly Bound,
Found Near Egg Harbor.
[Rx Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

BY Telegraph to Inc 1r1Dune-I
Egg Harbor. N. j.. Oct. A.-Murdered in
the hut of which he was the sole occu-
pant and carted nearly mile on a wheel
barrow. John Gavron's body was found to-
day In a clump of bushes. Gavron, who
was an old man, came here from New York
several months ago and built a hut in the
wilderness. He cleared several acres of
ground that he had purchased at the time.
few weeks prior 10 his disappearance a
man named Borzay came to the settle
ment and built a small hut. Gavron and
Borzay. it is said formerly lived together
in the basement at No. 353 East 18th street.
New York. The two men were often seen
together.
When the old man was missed IL is al
legged that Borzay said that he had gone
to a Philadelphia hospital. Nothing more
was thought of the mans absence. though
Gavron had appeared in the best of health.
Ten days ago Adolf Kettosh and his wife.
OF Bridgeport, Conn, a friend of Borzay
came to the village and stayed with the
latter at his home.
Kettosh and his wife occupied the hut OF
the old man, and it Is alleged that Borzay
told him 10 take the effects OF the old
man. as he was not expected to return.
Borzay then left there, saying he was
going to New York to get job at his
trade, that of wheelwright Nothing has
been heard or seen OF him since.
While going through the woods in the in
terror of the settlement Kettosh came
across the dead man. Fifty feet distant
was an old wheebarrow. Tightly tied
around the mans legs was long rope
made of ticking. His clothes were almost
torn of his body. On the left side Of his
head appeared an ugly wound, apparently
made by club. 1t is said that Mrs. Cav
ron was visitor at her husbands home
some few weeks ago and supplied him the
money with which the place was pur-
chased.
Mrs Mary Gavron, the wife OF John
GavrOn, the man who was murdered, was
seen at her home, in the basement OF the
tenement house at No. 3S3 East 18th street,
in this city. She appeared calm and col
leCted when informed OF her husbands
death.
When asked as to the whereabouts of
Borzay, she said that he was sleeping there
at her homo and could not be disturbed.
AS to the relations between them, she
merely said that he was friend Mrs.
Gavron said she was fifty-six years old and
had spent four years at the SchuylkiI
poorhouse She refused to state why she
and her husband had not been living to-
gether. She said that she saw him for the
last time on September ), when she visited
Egg Harbor.
Later when Norway appeared and was in
formed that he was suspected of being i'm
pIicated in the murder. he asked the re-
porters what he should do about it. He
was advised to give himself up 10 the police.
and he replied that he would, but he didn't
have any money. He said that he would
try to find the means TO go to New Jersey
to-day to give himself up.

ACCESS TO POTOMAC DRIVE
BRIDGE OVER THE INLET WILL
BE COMPLETED NEXT MONTH.
When Contemplated Improvements
Are Finished Fine Boulevard Will
Inclose the Park.

Maj. Morrow, the engineer officer in
charge Of the improvements of the Poto-
mac river, has reported to Gen. Marshall,
chief of engineers. that if everything goes
well the new concrete bridge over the
inlet to the Potomac tidal basin will be
opened to general traffic next month
That bridge will connect the Potomac
driveway at that point and permit an un-
interrupted drive or walk straight along
the river side from Goth street to the
Pennsylvania railroad embankment on
east Potomac Park, which is as far east
as the macadam roadway has been con-
structed.
One Of the Finest of Boulevards.
In the dim future, when the improve
ment of Potomac Park is extended to the
large section east and south Of the Penn
sylvania Railway bridge. the drive along
the Virginia channel of the river will be
extended to the fartheast southeastern
point of the reclaimed area opposite Gies-
poro point and thence northwesterly
along the Washington side of the park
back to the railroad bridge again at a
point just south of the new bridge over
the outlet to the tidal basin. This pro-
posed extension would add about six miles
to Potomac drive and make 1t one of the
finest boulevards in the world. The route
is already lined the entire distance with
willow and elm trees of large size and
heavy foliage. At present this section of
the park is OvergrOWn with underbrush
and covered with rubbish, but with its
many fine trees and other natural advan-
tages could easily be made most at
tractive park.
1t is expected that the matter will be
presented to Congress at its next session
and that a liberal appropriation will be
urged.
The completion of the bridge over the
inlet to the tidal basin will bring this sec
ton of the park to the notice of the pub
lie, but the lack of roads will keep the
equestrians out for the present. A mar
row footpath extends around the penin-
Sua.
The New Bridge.
Maj Morrow says that the concrete
work on the inlet bridge is practically
complete with the exception of the curb
and cutters and sidewalks. Work has
been started on the curtain and lock
gates, which form part of the structure
and the machinery to operate them, as
well as on the automatic gates, which
are operated by the tides. 1t is not ex-
pected that the installation of the differ
ent types of gates in the bridge will inter-
ferc to any extent with the use of the
bridge by the public.
If material is received as ordered.
says Maj. Morrow, 1.-The movable floor
system of the roadway over the lock will
be erected, and the curbs and cutters and
the north sidewalk completed in about a
month. That will permit the completion
of the roadway and probably the opening
of the bridge to traffic

1NDoRsED BY CONFERENCE.
Baptist Ministers in Favor Of Col
ored Industrial School.

An enthusiastic meeting was held by
the Baptist ministers conference of the
District of Columbia in the Zion Baptist
Church, F street between Sd and Az
streets southwest, Rev. w. j. Howard,
d. D., pastor, yesterday afternoon.
Speeches were made in favor of an indus
trial school for the colored boys and
girls of the District, with an agricultural
school near by in Maryland. Some of
the speakers declared that they had at
one time opposed DIR. Booker L. Wash
ington and his ideas as to what was best
for the masses of the colored people. but
now they believed he has done more TO
solve the so-called race problem than any
other one living man.

conference, presided, and Rev. DIR. j. l.

for the Industrial school Rev. $. Gerlah

mated with the late Frederick Douglass.
who suggested such school to Harriet
Beecher Stowe at Andover, Mass, IN
1853, but it was left to Dr. Booker I.
Washington to make the idea popular
THE industrial school movement has
been misunderstood by many people with
the best intentions.
Many people, he said, have been
under the impression that there was
conflict between the industrial and the
so-called higher education, which Is also
a mistake. They go hand in hand in the
elevation and uplift of all the people.
We live in a practical age. The aues-
ton that confronts us today is, How l
can best make living for myself and
those depending upon me-? The answer
is work, work, work.
A resolution offered by Rev. DIR. j. J.
Loving was unanimously adopted. lie
set forth that the Baptist ministers con
ference heartily ndorses the plan for
an industrial school along the lines plan
ned and advocated by Rev. S. Geriah
Lamkins, the promoter of the school, and
pledged the members to do all in their
power to assist i'm the establishment or
such an institution I'm the District or
Columbia.
On motion of Rev. DR.. II. III. Waring Of

was appointed on ways and means to

tablishment of the school: Rev. III. IL.
