EMES DEATH
 ACCIDENTAL SAY
 THE AUTHORITIES
Low Pressure Tn Gas Mains May Have Been the
 Cause

Frank L. ATnes, the well known col 1ector and husband of Cora Ames. re- siding at 90 Courtland street, may not have committed suicide. Such is the theory the police and medical exam iner are today agreed upon since they have learned that the gas pressure in the city's center was very low shortly before the~ discovery of his body. It is believed @that the pressure may have temporarily been shut off. causing the escape of gas in apart ments where it had before been light ed.
 The police today scout the theory that he committed suicide, saying his accounts were in the best Of condition and that he had expressed to health officials but the day before the most happy view of the future. There were no indications in the house that he had premeditated the act.
 Medical Examiner s. M Garlick to-. day announced that the death was ac- efdental and probably due to a leaking rubber tube leading to gas stove in the room. The gas jet was lit when discoverX Of the body was made Ames who owns the house in which he lives and whose wife is now on her way home from Palm Beach, Fla, where she had been visiting, was sleeping in a downstairs room The dour had been locked and it was necessary to force 1t before entrance was gained.
