Nyhoft, president of the Nyhoff Coal company, and Joseph Steiner, a Broadway clothing merchant, No. 712, were the principals in the mixup which took place at George Silverman's cigar store, 616 Broadway.

Two young men, comrades - for years, co-workers and roommates, employed on the Gary-South Chicago di

vision of the "J" railway, were found dead in bad this morning, with the

gas turned on, the door and windows

closed and stuffed with rags and from

all appearances their death had been

the outcome of a suicide pact. " The

ghastly discovery was made about 7 o'clock by Mrs. William Haanecamp, In her home, 10018 Ewing avenue, where

the young men had roomed for about

six months.

No Note; No Explanation. Attempts to fathom the mystery of the suicide proved futile today. Search of the rooms of the young men and their personal effects failed to reveal anything that would indicate they had contemplated such a course. There was no note or no explanation of any kind. All crevices about the windows and doors had been carefully stuffed up with rags and old clothing, and everything pointed to a carefully : pre-arranged suicide. Today there are some who insist that one of the young men might have conceived and executed this plan while the other was asleep and knew nothing of it. The majority of people, however, are of the opinion that the two comrades entered a suicide compact. South Chicago Calumet.
