The commission Is composed of .Major J. Morrow, United States army; Ueut. Commander Cox, United States navy; Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, Secretary C. E. Williams, and J. P.. Mills, stenographer. The commissioners visited HaineB and examined that place as a possible i terminus for a railroad to the Yukon. > The results of their investigation will not be made public until their report is submitted to Congress. The com mission has had a somewhat strenu ous time. Prom Valdez they went over the trail to Fairbanks, making good time and experiencing no diffi culty, their journey being aided by i the Alaska road commision. They re-' turned by way of the Chlthra trail to Cordova, after examining the Copper I Illvef railroad. Previously they had visited Seward and looked over the line of the Alaska Northern railway. The report to be submitted by the commission will be in the nature of a preliminary reconnaissance, and with out doubt beforo Congress will take any definite action looking toward railroad construction in Alaska, an other and more complete Investiga tion will be made. MURDERS FOR M'NEILLS Deputy Marshal S. Walto, assisted by Chief of Police Jack Chovln and E. C. Heacock, of Fairbanks, is taking a trio of prisoners to the outside on the Mariposa. Two of them are un der life sentence for murder and tflll be taken to McNeil's island, Washing ton; the other is Billy Brown, am old timer of Fairbanks, who is insane. He will be taken to Mornlngside asylum, Oregon. The life prisoners are Joe Campbell and a negro named Cooper. The lat ter was convicted at a late term of the district court at Fairbanks. Joe Campbell was convicted at Idit arod, in September, of murdering GuBt and John Nelson, who were at the time prospecting about seventy miles below Georgetown, on the Kuskokwlm river. The crime was committed sometime in September 1911 and ,the dead bodies were found by natives about a month later. The coroner's inqueBt, which waB held over the bodies Incurred an ex pense of several thousand dollars. A deputy traveled all the way from Georgetown and summoned witnesses, many of whom had to travel hundreds of miles. No action was taken in the matter until a strong petition from the district had asked for the inquest. In the meantime Campbell had gone overland to the Coast and taken a steamer for Seattle. Campbell spent the winter in the Sound metropolis and last spring came north headed for the new strike at Ruby. It is said that Campbell only had three dollars when he left Seattle and that A1 Lowe, the well-known Nomeite, unsuspectingly helped him financially to reach his destination. In the meantime evidence had been found incriminating Campbell, and Deputy Marshal Joe Warren was set on his trail. He followed his man to Seattle, but arrived too late. Tele graphic instructions were sent to Deputy Marshal Snow at Ruby and Campbell was placed under arrest last June. His trial and conviction followed. The negro Cooper was convicted of the murder of William WImbish, also a negro, on Pedro creek two years ago. WImbish disappeared without reason and many searching parties failed to And any trace of him. He had lived with Cooper in the Pedro creek cabin f?r many months. At the time of the disappearance Cooper stated that WImbish had gone to the Koyukuk diggings. Later Cooper made other inconsistent state incuts bearing on the disappearance < which directed suspicion toward him. Finally a search of the premises on Pedro creek disclosed remnants of the charred bones of the victim. Cooper was placed under arrest and the chain of evidence resulted in his conviction.
