GAS WORKS EMPLOYEE
SUFFOCATED BY GAS.
Jacob Hemberg Found Dead in
His Home.

Jacob Hemberg, an employee at the
gas works, was found dead in his room
at 10 Ferry street today, gas asphyxia-
ton having been the cause of death.
Hemberg is the second man to have
met death by gas in the I%ronbound
district this week.
Hemberg's body was found by his
landlady, Mrs. Maria Boice. when she
went to make up his bed. The woman
knocked at the door, but receiving no
reply, she unlocked the door and found
Hemberg's body lying on the floor near
a gas stove, the tube of which was
detached and the gas escaping. Hem
berg was partly dressed, and it is the
opinion of the police that he arose in
the night and while walking about the
room accidentally kicked the tube lose
from the stove. ,
Death had come to Hemberg prob
ably several hours before the body was
found. Immediately on discovering the
body Mrs. Boice sent for a doctor, but
before one arrived the police were on
the scene and found that the man was
dead. County Physician Mckenzie
pronounced Hemberg dead and the
body was removed to the morgue.
The dead mans landlady knew very
little concerning him, rs he had been
a lodger in her fiat but a short time,
She said she understood he worked at
the gas house and that he had rela-
tives living in Adams street, but be-
yond this she knew nothing further.

State National Guard for several years

denburgh law, was guest of honor
at a dinner here last night by
military men. The affair was one

events in the history of the State
and was attended by over 175 militia
officers. 1t was arranged for by off,
GERS as a tribute to the esteem In
which General Breintnall is held by
militiamen throughout New Jersey.
The hall in which the dinner was served
was tastefully decorated. The national
colors were lavishly displayed, n the
cetails were suggestive of the military.
There were also State flags borrowed
from the State arsenal.
During the dinner there were several
surprises. One of the most interesting
of these was the presentation to Gen
eral Breintnall of a large portrait of
himself in military uniform. Major

City, division commander. made the
DIc66llLdLloll u % L
General Breintnalls record in the Ma
tional Guard and praised him both as
q guardsman and as a civilian. To
make the dinner the more informal
there was no scheduled speeches. al

intention of the committee as far as
possible to eliminate anything of a

GERS stuck closely to National Guard
matters and eulogies of General BRENT
nall.
General Edward A. Campbell, in his
address, said the only reason that he
brought suit to have the military retire
ment law set aside was because he
wanted to protect the rights he was
guaranteed by the Constitution, and to
protect the interest of other officers who
had done faithful duty in the guard.
General Breintnall did not make any
reference to what he intends to do
about making an effort to regain his
place as Acknowledgement.
The dinner was held in the dining
room of the Hotel Windsor and began
promptly at s o'clock. Major-General

BELIEVES PROCTOR
GIFT MAY YET GO
TO PRINCETON
Graduate Declares Report of
Board Might Open Way for
Retrieving of $5OO,0O0.

PRINCETON, Feb. 9.-The special
committee of five appointed by the
board of trustees from its membership
to consult with Mr.. Proctor with regard
to his offer of $780, 900 for a graduate
college, will. it is said here, contrary to
rumor and a widespread impression,
render a Eonpartisan report.
1t was learned that the committee
reached a definite conclusion in New
York. I'M a unanimous n at that
It's report will be a resume OF the facts
Of the case. and because it e not
take sides. a prominent graduate IN
teryiewed here suggests a a Tor the
university still to obtain the half-mll-
lion dollars. He said:
The special committee, as | under
stand 1t, will return to the board what
1t has found to be the questions IN
volved In the acceptance of the GIT.
This will not be in favor of Mr.. Proctor
Dean West or Doctor Wilson,. and the
only thing hat it will rye will be a
speedy settlement of the difficulties.
Now. since it is for the assembled
hoard to determine what action is nee
a it is yet possible, in my opinion,
for the board to consider Mr.. Procters
letter OF withdrawal in which he 'begs
leave to withdraw the gift and urge
upon him rather to await the opinion
of the board to which the committee
brings for the first time a complete
statement of the position of the three
parties concerned.
1.-The board has not yet, so far as L
know, expressed itself absolutely as to
what kind of a graduate college 1t
wants, and it will nave its first oppor-
tunity to visualize the various ques-
lions when presented on Thursday
The report of the special
has been a matter OF intense interest
hereabouts, and rumor had 1t that 1t
favored Doctor Wilson'S ideas. 1t
dosen't favor anything but an expedi-
tious ending of the controversy, some
thing which the whole board is to act
pom
The report is a unanimous one. 1t
was rumored that there would be a
minority as we'll as majority finding,
but this has been denied. The COM
mittee consists of Thomas ID. Jones,

BATTLING NELSON
WINS FROM DALE

Kansas City, October 10.-In his first
fight since Ad Wolgast stripped him OF
his championship iaurels, last February
q, Battling Nelson, here tonight, won
from Monte Dale of Denver, after three
rounds of fighting.
At the beginning of the fourth round
Dales seconds threw up the sponge in
order to save their man from a knock
out Dale broke his left arm in the sec
end round and it was for this reason, his
seconds say, they stopped the fight Nell
son was clearly the master of his oppo-
nent, however, and would have knocked
him out even though Dale had not suf-
fered an accident
Before the first round had gone min
ute it was obvious that the Battler had
grounds for his claims that he could
come back"
Although clearly outclassed, Dale fought
on gamely until he broke his arm. Dur
ing the third round he made no attempt
to use the injured member, but punched
Nelson repeatedly with his right.
There was not a moment during the
fight when Nelson appeared tired. He
was light on his feet and hit from all
angles with great force.
After the battle Nelson announced he
had agreed to fight "One Round Hogan
of San Francisco, ten rounds, in that
city on October 20.
