The Princeton, one of the double-deck

The boat is pretty well used up fore

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED.
Gas Turned On in HcrOn's Room
but Suicide Not Susuccted.

David Heron, thirty.four years old, a
carpet-worker for Shepard Knapp & Co.,
at Thirteenth street and sixth avenue wa i
found dead in his room at sos
West one Hundred and SiXty-frst street
at | o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Farrell, from whom Heron hired
room two weeks ago. was awakened
by strong odor of gas at 1916. She
called her husband. who opened the door
of Heron's room and found him lying in
bed and the room filled with gas.
Attached to the gas jet was a rubber
tube, which had been disconnected at
the other end from a small gas heater,
the gas being turned on.
The theory of suicide Is discredited
by the Farells and by Thomas Angel,
cousin of Heron, who lives in a cot
tage in the rear of the Farells. Mr..
Angel said that Heron was in the
habit of sleeping with hot water bottles.
Last night, he thinks, Heron heated
water as usual, and after disconnectiny
the tube from the stove forgot to turn
off the gas. Heron, 1t is said, had lost
the sense of smell some time ago, and
therefore did not discover that the gas
was escaping.
An old coat had been thrown in front
of the door to keep out the cold. as Mr..
Angel thinks. The door was not locked

FOR HONEST WEIGHT IN COAL.
Dealers Opposed to GIensOn's Dill
| and HIVE Il Substitute.

President J. S. Smoot, of the Retail
Coal Exchange, has issued call for an
important meeting tonight at which the
Spring price-lst will probably be made
UP. The Board of Trustees has decided
that systematic effort should b. made
to put the retail market in a more pros
porous condition. At present there Is a
deal of grumblng among houscholders
over paying the Winter prices and they
are holding back until the Spring
schedule Is adopted
Despite the fact that in the call It Is
stated that the weight question has been
settled to the satisfaction of all py the
rejection of all plans and the approval
of the Gleason bill now before the Legis-
lature the question Is by no means dis
posed Of according to many members
who term themselves the reform element.
Secretary jeremiah Pangburn, jr.. of
COS Greenwich street, said to-day: 1T is
impossible for honest dealers to com.
pete with dishonest ones who are enabled
to cut prices because they give under
weights. The Gleason bill does not fill
the want. 1t fails to make 1t compulsory
that all dealers wagons carrying coal
must be subjected to inspection. The
honest dealers will bring forward some
other plan looking to full instead of
short weight"

PEDDLER'S QUEER SUICIDE.
Was StrnrEIing Himself While in

tBy Associated Press.)
INDIANAPOLIS, March 1G.-Clinton
Cooper a peddler, died at the hospital
last night, and his death developed a
strange method of self-destruction. He
was found i'll in his room and sent to
the hospital, where he was found to be
in n low state of vitality, but no ap-
parent cause existed for it. He was con-
scious, hut refused to talk, and he swal-
lowed medicine with great difficulty.
He got no relief from the treatment.
and IT soon became apparent that he
could live only few hours. When taken
to the hospital he had a handkerchief
tied loosely around his neck, and this
was removed by an attendant just be-
fore he died.
Underneath the handkerchief. and al
most buried in his neck, was small
cord. and it dawned upon the authorities
that he had been slowly dying from
strangulation ever since he was found
at his clearinghouse. There is no
doubt that he tied the cord himself and
that he chose this method to kill him
self.
