SCENT FOUL PLAY IN ROWE CASE.
Evidence of Choral Found in Internal
Organs-Widow Gets Effects

An autopsy performed yesterday on the body
of Charles B. Rowe. a travelling salesman
from New Haven, which found in the vesti-
bule OF No 961 Amsterdam-ave. early yesterday
morning. gave rise TO the belief that he a
victim of foul play.
DR. O'Hanlon, coroner's physician. said yes
terday that he not satisfied with the con-
dition of Rowes stomach, and had sent 1T for
further examination TO Professor Larks, of Co
lumbia University. The stomach unusually
infamed, and it was suggested that this condi-
ton was caused by choral or some other potent
poison.
Captain Farrell OF the West 1OOth-st station.
whose plain clothes men Moran and Mead have
been working on the case. scouts the theory of
foul play. Among the facts established by the
detectives, which partly account for the in
famed condition of the stomach. is that Rowe
was under treatment for stomach trouble by DR..
Hassler of No 267 Central Park West.
Rowe's widow called at the West 1OOth-st
station yesterday and took the effects found on
her husbands body She believes that Rowe met
foul play She explained that he wore a costly
gold watch when he left New-Haven last
Wednesday The watch was missing when the
body was discovered.
There was no external evidence OF violence on
Rowe's body, but the upright position OF the
body when found by August CLOSER increases
the suspicion that Rowe was propped up be
tween the storm doors after rigor mortis had
set in.

DR. DARLINGTON ON SMOKE NUISANCE.

Recommends Legislation as Remedy.

DR.. Thomas Darlington. Health Commissioner
read a paper on the smoke nuisance before the
Chemist Club last night.
Dr. Darlington said that the smoke nuisance
was the most difficult TO regulate OF all
nuisances. While there are laws against ths
use of soft coal. it is necessary 10 prove the
satisfaction of the court that the smoke en6an-,
gers public health. DIR. Darlington continueds
Some companies don't mind fine OF $3.50,

The smoke is not responsible for any fatalities.
but il is annoying and causes trrtta ton OF ths
nervous system. The Board OF Health enjoys
extraordinary powers. but am opposed to their
use We should have more reasonable laws
covering this question.
We don't always suffer physical Inconvenience
from the smoke nuisance, but my own expert
ence has been that I have TO have my rugs
cleaned once month as a result Of 70.
