NEED RAILROADS FOR
ALASKAN DEVELOPMENT

WASHINGTON, Web. 5.-The
Alaskan Railway Commission has re-
ported to President Taft that more
than one extensive railway will be
needed properly to open up Alaska s
resources.
The report, which the President
will send to Congress with recon-
mendations, says there are several
available railroad routes from the
coast into the far interior of Alaska.
No definite recommendations are
made as to the choice of routes. The
report declares that the route up the
Susitna Valley passing near the rich
Matanuska coal fields, on up through
good agricultural land, to the Ne
mana Ignite fields and on to Fair
banks in Central Alaska, with its gold,
silver and other wealth, could not de-
velop the resources of the Copper
River Valley.

Especial to the Newark start

PERTH AMBOY, n. J., Feb. s.
The sympathetic relation often said
to exist between twins is declared
by physicians here today to have
caused the death yesterday of Ellen
Strumbach, years old, of 1874 New
Brunswick avenue. The other twin.
Cecilia, died last Thursday from 3
mysterious malady, and although in
ignorance of her sisters death Ellen
died yesterday from the same dis
ease. The parents and two other
children are in the best of health.
The father. John Strumbach, has
asked that an autopsy be performed
on the body of his second child, as
he wants the talk" which has been
engendered by the two sudden deaths
to be stopped. County Physician Car
roll will perform the autopsy to-
day.
Cecilia, the first of the twins to be
affected, was taken sick ON January
g. DR.. +. c. Henry WIS called, and
when ne arrived Ellen was complain
ing of the same symptoms. He pre-
scribed medicine for both. Last

Mr.. Strumbach says that at other
times when one of the twins sef-
fered from any complaint it. would

plant, he said, soon spread to her
sister.
In the autopsy DR.. Carroll will ex-
anime the girls stomach for trace
of any poisonous substance. Mr..
Strumhaoh is an employee of the
American Smelling and Refining
Company. He has been married
twice, and is the father of the twins

CALL NEGRO Who
HANGED KIN SANE
overton Competent, Declare
Two Physicians After Ex-
animation.

At a hearing held before Judge Os-
borne in the Criminal Court today
DR.. William Hicks and DR.. Walter S.
| Washington were called to testify as
to the mental condition of william
Oyerton, a negro, accused of murder
ing his wife and 4-months- old child.
Both physicians concurred in the
opinion that the defendant was per-
fectly sane and able to consult his
counsel Frank NJ McDermit.
On June 2S, 1912, Overton killed his
wife and child by hanging them to
an iron crossbar n their bedroom at
81 Wayerly avenue. A neighbor dis
covered the two victims several hours
afterwards. Overton had escaped,
but a note which he had left on the
kitchen table brought the police on
his trail.
The note read: II have done this
under cross. but have been driven
TO it. am prepared to meet my
God for this deed. ] have tried to do
good, but she has tormented me- not
letting me sleep nights after | had
been working all day. If I have to
die >for this, [ am willing to. God
have mercy on my soul"
Overton was later found in Hobo
ken, where he was arrested. He re-
tanned as his counsel Frank NJ Nc
Dermit who on a motion before the
court obtained the appointment OF
DIR. Hicks and DR.. Washington as
sanity experts for the State.
The physicians testified that after
three examinations of the defendant
they had come to the conclusion that
he had been sane on the night Of the
murder Overton told them that he
awoke on the night of the twenty
fourth to find his wife slashing at his
throat with knife. The defendant
claimed that his brain was turned
by snake Blood a bewitching drop
which he believed some one had
poured into the drinks of beer which
he stopped to get on his way home.
On question by McDermit. DR..
Washington stated that it was his
opinion that this belief originated not
from insanity, but from the supersti-
tious creeds in which the colored
youth of North Carolina where Over
ton was born, are brought up.
Dr. Washington also testified that
the accused had told him that he
had been forced to marry in spite of
his will. that his wife went South
soon after their marriage, and that
when she returned with their baby
she made his life miserable by nag
cling him about his drinking. The
physician was of the opinion that the
murder was committed in a frenzy If
rage.
Judge Osborne set the date OF
! trial for February II.

liengiere claims that it was Lopono
who handed him the gun and told
him to throw it away.
The first witness called today was
James J. Donnelly, a policeman, OF
the Second precinct, who testified to
finding the door of Loponlo's shoe
makers shop, at Park avenue. open
at about 9:45 on the night of the
murder. Loponio, in statements made
after his arrest, claimed that he was
in the shop at that time and that a
man had run in and confessed to him
the killing of McGoyern. This was
more than half an hour before Nc
Govern was shot on Crane street. A
block and half away.
Donnelly also told of finding Lopo-
MO in his bed about an hour after
the shooting and of searching his
room. finding an ordinary revolver,
not the magazine sort, hidden under
the mattress.
The revolver was fully loaded, tes-
tilted Donnelly. and he had ''broken"
it and smelled 1t for. powder smell to
see If it had been fired recently,
There was no trace of powder smell,
he said.
Clothes and Bullets In Evidence.
The blood -stained clothes were
in evidence late yesterday
afternoon. when County Detective
James F. Mason, in whose custody
they have been since the shooting,
produced them, as we'll as two bull
let's that had been found by County
Physician William TT MpKenzia In
making an autopsy on the body of
McGovern. One bullet dropped from
the clothes as the body was being
undressed. having entered the back
and gone clear through the body.
The second bullet was imbedded in
the spinal column.
DR.. McKenzies testimony was to
the effect that all four bullets had
been fired from behind McGovern,
and the mute testimony of the torn
and stained clothes bore him out, as
the holes are all in the back.

GREAT INTEREST
IN LOCAL EXHIBIT
Throngs Crowd Bamberger
Store-May Be Made An
nual Exposition.

With the list of exhibitors COM
pleted and their equipment installed
the Made in Newark exposition be-
ing held in the L. Bamberger & Co.
store continued to attract a large
crowd today. Many prominent men
and women are seen at the exhibit
daily, the former taking more inter-
est in the machinery and other at
fractions at the booths than to the
prices on the tags attached to the
goods.
The mysteries of diamond cutting
women to the booth where this fine
work is being done. On all sides of
the Gagged booth men and women
craned their necks to get a glimpse
of the precious stones being cut
into various shapes for rings, pins,
brooches and other forms of jewelry.
A number of belated requests for
room at the exhibit have been re-
ceived, but it is feared the applicants
will not be accommodated. More
than 100 exhibition booths are now
demonstrators, while many other
booths are simply exhibiting the
''made in Newark" goods. The Her
bert Company, manufacturers of mu-
sic rolls, have installed an exhibit
showing how music rolls are made.
Schiele & Meyer, naturalists and
taXidermists, are illustrating the
work of stuffing animals. The r. P.
Howell leather manufacturing con-
Germ has also added an exhibit in
which samples of leather from the
raw material to the finished goods
are shown.
AS usual, the concerts being given
by the Winona Hoffman band in the
auditorium on the sixth floor of the
store, attracted a large audience
Two concerts are given daily, the
first at 10 o'clock in the morning and
the other at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon. Fourteen popular numbers
constituted the program today.
Taking as an illustration the sue
cess of the present exhibit, the BAN
berger firm will probably make the
exposition an annual affair. While
the large number of visitors has not
been tabulated, the attendance is in
creasing daily. Newarkers are learn
ing that many of the articles which
they use or see daily have their birth
in this city, although it was supposed
they were foreignmade.

DECISION WAS A JOKE,
SAYS MANAGER DOOM

William F. Baker, acting prenident
of the Philadelphia Club. expects to
lay before President Lynch. of the
National League, today the Philadel-
phia Clubs side of the trouble at the
ball grounds here last Saturday. whei
Umpire Brennan forfeited the game
to New York. The forfeiture was
made Saturday because the Phila-
delphia Club failed to remove from
section in centre field spectators
who, it was claimed, interfered with
the vision of batsmen and umpire.
Manager Doom, who is in Brooklyn
with his team. may also see the
league president Philadelphia for
NAL protest against the loss of the
game has already been forwarded to
league headquarters.
Manager Doom before going to
Brooklyn called attention to the fact
that spectators occupied the same
centre field seats the day Chicago
won a double-header from Philadel-
phia and also on the day Pittsburgh
took two games from the Phillies.
Umpire O'Day officiated behind the
plate in the Chicago double-header.
and Brennan called balls and strikes
In one of the Pittsburgh games. but
neither objected to spectators sitting
in that part of the bleachers, accord
ing to Doom. He said that If Satur-
DAYS forfeit stands because of the
spectators sitting on line with the
batters, then the double-headers won
by Chicago and Pittsburgh from
Philadelphia should also be thrown
ont for the same reason.

BRENNAN HAS NO
EXCUSE TO MAKE
Umpire Who Forfeited Game to
Giants Was Here Yes
terday.
THINKS HE DID RIGHT THING

Bill Brennan. the National League
umpire, who has drawn down the
maledictions OF tens of thousands OF
Philadelphia fans by his decision oy
which he forfeited the Philadelphia
Giant game to New York Saturday,
was a spectator at yesterdays con-
test at Wiedenmayer's Park.
The arbiter. who has gained so
much notoriety by the decision, re-
fused to discuss the decision for
publication, as he realizes that any
thing he says is likely to add to the
fire raging in the Phillies' camp, and
he will make his statement to Presi-
dent Lynch when the case comes be-
fore the board of directors of the Ma
tional League, as it is likely to.
Brennan did not seem to be much
worried in spite of the overwhelming
odds of opinions against him. He sat
in a DO kali through the game in
company with Jack Quinn and Htin
Perdue, of the Boston Club, and
some of the Brooklyn players.
Brennan says he had good rea-
thinks that Lynch will back up his
decision-just as McGraw believes.
Asked if he thought he made the
proper decision in declaring the game
forfeited he replied: 81 would be fool
ish to do anything else in front CT
such a crowd and against the home
club. l did what 1 thought was may
duty at any risk and an umpire can
do no more" Brennan refused to de-
fend himself, and at the same time
offered no alibis.

putouts and the infielders got only
seven assists. Swacina at first base
had the unusually low mark of only
six putouts. Gus GetZ made a clever
peg cutting down runner at the
plate, and Bob Higgins also got an
assist when he nipped Onslow off
third base on an attempted double
steal.
Bnzmann allowed six hits, three
of them being decidedly f1ukey af-
fairs. The only really difficult piece
of fielding was turned in by Gagnier
who timed drive from Mitchells
stick in the ninth inning to a nicely

The Tigers had but six hits, but sharp
fielding by the enemy kept their total
of bingles on even terms with the
Grays' tally in the hit column. Deal
and Mcintyre took turns in pulling
hit-killing stops and catches on Swa-
Gina. while Frabique grabbed q
steaming liner from Dalton and Nc
Intyre pulled in another smash that
would have been triple for Jack
To add to his glory Enzmann car
ried the Tigers only run around the
bases in the eighth inning. Enzmann
nearly tore one of Zamloch's legs off
with hard smash in that inning.
Dalton followed with a safety to
Frabique, which he beat out. After
norman singled, sending home Enz-
mann with the only run of the game.
Carl Zamloch, the Providence
pitcher was formerly with Detroit.
Since joining the Grays he has won
three games and lost three, besides
taking part in couple of other con-
tests. He has a good curve ball, but
his fast one apparently is not as
sharp as his curves, and his failure
| to be a big league star is probably
| due to this fact Had the luck broke
right for the Tigers yesterday they
would have scored at least three runs.
| In the very first inning Dalton beat

ond base. Bill Zimmerman fouled out.

| between third and short, where he
generally hits when he wants to place
one. 1t looked like a sure safety and
a run, but Deal stuck his glove down
and made a blind stab, throwing
Harry out at first base.
Later in the game Eddie thinner
man smashed one to right field that
would have been triple and Swa-
Gina. who had singled. would have
scored easily The ball fell foul by a
few inches. The same thing happened
to Billy Zimmerman, who stung one
hard to left in the seventh, but pulled
it so hard that it went foul The
