Coal Gas Killed Engaged Couple.


Carbon monoxide (coal gas) poison
ing killed Grace Elosser and Charles
e. Twigg, who were found dead in
the parlor of the Elosser home, in
Cumberland, Md, on Dec. 81, the day
before they were to be married, ac-
cording to the reports of two chemists
who tested the blood of the two vic
Tins.
Heretofore the authorities have
maintained that the couple met their
death by cyanide of potassium, the
corener's jury rendering a verdict to
that effect.
The reports of DR.. Charles CHASER,
of Baltimore, and DIR. R. L. Lynch,
chief chemist of the health depart
ment of the District of Columbia, the
chemists employed by States Attorney
Robb, were made public.
The reports are against the theory
of cyanide poisoning and agree that
death in each instance came from
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is gas supposed
to have been given off by stove in
the Elosser parlor. DR.. Glaser's report
is at great length, while DR.. Lynch s
came by telegram and says samples
show the presence of carbon monox.

HANG FOR MURDER
Each Found Guilty in First
Degree at Georgetown.

Without the least visible show of
excitement and with stolid and i'm
mobile faces, Earl Hugo Brown, alias
Henry Williams, and James Sharp,
two colored boys each seventeen
years old, convicted of murder, faced
Chief Justice Pennewill in George
town, Del, when he sentenced them to
be hanged in the New Castle work.
house on May 10.
The crime for which the boys will
give their lives is the murder of John
Rogers, son of a farmer for whom the
two lads worked. The murder was
one of the most atrocious ever COM
mitted in Sussex county and occurred
last June.
In company with the colored lads,
young Rogers, sixteen years old, went
into field to sucker" corn. He took
his gun with him to shoot birds, and
after a short hunt returned and gave
his gun to one of the colored boys
an dtold him to go hunt while he took
a nap nearby.
The plan to kill Rogers was laid in
the woods while he slept. The two col
ored boys walked up behind the Sleep
ing lad and blew his head off. After
killing him one went to the farm
house after a shovel and both dragged
his body about 400 yards through a
woods into another field
Digging a shallow hole, they buried
the body, hid the gun and shovel and
returned to the house to eat supper
with the parents of their victim. They
told of the missing boy having gone
hunting and helped search all night
for Rogers. Early in the morning the
body was discovered and the boys
confessed to the killing.

Legislation Now Goes to the Senate,
Where Its Fate Is In Doubt-AImost
Solid Democratic Vote For 1t.
The Mccall bill, embodying the ad
ministration's reciprocity agreement
with Canada, was passed by the house
of representatives, 221 to 80. Presi-
dent Taft received the news of the big
vote in the house with great satisfac-

A majority of the Republicans pres
ent voted against the measure, the
division being 7S ayes and 81 nays.
The Democratic vote was 143 ayes
and noes. A majority of the Repub-
ican insurgents present voted for the
bill.
The Mccall bill now goes to the
senate. What it's fate will be in that
body Is problematical at this time.

that the senate shall act one way or

6TeSS IL IL uOeS uOI QO SO
The passage of the bill in the house
came at the end of long debate
which at times was as bitter as any
that has been heard on the floor of
that chamber in years. The fight was
confined almost wholly to the Repub-
lican side. Democratic members joined
in from time to time and taunted the
oin hni 10 oh nf
unity.
The Democratic leaders also said
that the reciprocity agreement was
good Democratic doctrine and declar
ed they were glad to welcome Presi-
dent Taft and many of the house Re-
publicans into the Democratic fold.
The suggestion came from the Repub-
lican side that Mr.. Taft and Champ
Clark might be rivals for the next
Democratic presidential nomination.
Mr.. Clark claimed that in contest Of
that sort ne would win hands down.
A final vote was reached only by
the application of cloture rule, that
shut off all amendments and even dis
pensed with the reading of the bill.
This proceeding was decided upon on
ly after Mr.. Mccall, in charge of the
bill, had failed to get unanimous con-
sent to do away with calendar We'd
nesday. If that had been secured, he
said he would have been glad to let
the debate continue for another legis-
lative day.
The Republicans opposed to the
bill fought the rule to the very last,
denouncing it in caustic language.
They directed their fire especially
against the Democrats and accused
them, on the eve of going into power
in the house, of enforcing a gag
rule" as drastic as anything against
which they had so eloquently inveigh-
ed in the past.

FAMIL Y OF seven
KILLED BY Gas
Father, Mother and Five Chill
dren Found Dead.
BRIDE-ELECT ONE OF VICTIMS
Deadly Fumes From Tube Detached
From Gas Stove Filled the House
and Overcame Family In Their
CIeep

TToH SaS otoVe FRico the SlouSS
and Overcame Family In Their
Sleep.
Seven persons, including the father,
mother, three sons and two daughters,
were asphyxiated by gas in their
home at l Pearl place, in the rear OF
22S Christian street, Philadelphia.
The dead are: Hyman Berkowitz,
forty-two years old, fruit huckster;
Mrs. Rose Berkowitz, forty years old;
Minnie, eighteen; Michael, twelve;
Israel, nine; Rebecca, seven, and Paul,
five years old.
The family was killed by the acci-
dental loosening of rubber gas tube
from a gas pipe running across the
main living room, and the flooding of
the house with the Illuminating gas.
Not one of the family was able to get
out of bed before being overcome by
the fumes, although the three young
est children showed evidences of hav-
ing tried in a feeble manner to escape
the overpowering gas.
A particularly sad feature of the
the daughter Minnie She was to have
been married within two or three
days to Louis Weinstein, a merchant
The girls trousseau was all finished
and was found hanging on the sec
ond floor, covered with cloth to pro-
tect it from dust.
The Berkowitz family retired early.
The father did not return home until
after one o'clock. In the main living
room down stairs is gas stove in
one corner under a window. From 1t
there is a pipe which extends across
the center of the room. From this
pipe rubber gas tube had been at
tached which ran to the stove in the
scerner.
Berkowitz, the evidence showed, in
crossing the roem on his return home.
accidentally kicked the gas tube and
detached it from the pipe and there
full force.
He went upstairs to bed and left
the door to his room, where he slept
with his three sons, and the alcove
where his wife and her two daughters
slept, wide open. In short time the
gas, which escaped with full force out
of the pipe, had filled the house.
To all appearances no one made any
attempt to get up when the escaping
gas reached them. The smaller chill
dren showed evidences of struggle,
as if partially awakened, but were not
successful in getting away from the
fumes. The youngest child, Paul, was
half out of bed, but was the only one
to have made any move apparently.
Their bodies were not found until
]. Marvin, constable and collector,
went to the home to collect the rent
for the month. He pounded at the door
and later hammered on it, but there
was no response.
He then went next door to the
home of Samuel Smith. Smith told
Marvin that he had not seen the Ber-
kowitz family, and, fearing that some
thing had happened, gave Marvin
key to the Berkowitz home. Mrs.
Smith accompanied Marvin to the
house, as did Rose Miller, who lived
one door away.
Upon opening the door the investi-
gators were almost knocked over by
the rush of escaping gas. The gas jet
was found turned wide open. After
1t had been turned off the people has
tened upstairs and there found the
seven people unconscious and appar-
emily dead.
