DEATH STILL A MYSTERY;
INVESTIGATION TO co ON
Inquest Is Held Over the Body of
Henry Howarth,
Chauffeur.

Witnesses who appeared at an inquest
held at the morgue yesterday afternoon
over the body of Henry Howarth, chauf-
feur, who was asphyxiated in the garage
of DIR. Allerton Cushman, rear of 1856 n
street. were unable to explain how the gas
pipe became disconnected. and the chauf-
feur's death presents mystery for the
police to solve The jury reached the
conclusion that the pipe had been discon-
nected and left in a dangerous condition
a result of negligence on part of some
unidentified individual
One witness suggested that burglars
may have disconnected the pipe, explain
ing to the jury that the broken condition
of two shutters on the lower floor indi-
Gated the possibility of burglars who prob
ably took the bracket from the pipe.
John Noonan, the head chauffeur, declared
that none of his effects had been disturbed
during his absence all the summer.
Gas in Room Burning.
John Noonan and his wife returned to
the city Friday morning from Pomfret
Conn, the summer home of their EN-
ployer, bringing Henry Howarth with
them. Their quarters were not in good
condition, they stated, but they did some
cleaning and decided to remain there Fri
day night. Mrs. Noonan explained to the
Jury that she prepared supper on a gas
stove and that she retired without having
detected the odor of gas. The gas in
Howarths room was burning and .a-win-
dow was partly open when his dead body
was found on the floor yesterday morning
An inspector in the employ of the
Washington Gas Light Company APP
peared at the inquest and said a test
of the pipe showed that two cubic feet
of gas escaped from the open pipe an
about O'Clock Friday night.
Will Investigate Further.
Detective Stringfellow. Sergt. J. w.
Greene and Policeman B. w. Thomp-
son investigated the affair and were
at the inquest to tell what they OBJ
served and learned. None of them,
however, was able to determine who
was responsible for disconnecting the
pipe and failing to cap the opening.
and a further investigation of How
arth's death will be made by the police.
1t is stated that Howarth came here
last week for the first time. He had
worked for Dr. Cushman's family at
their summer home and gave such
complete satisfaction that he was
brought here to serve as second chauf-
feur. He resided in Putnam, Conn,
where a brother last night was no
titled of his death. 1t is probable that
his body will be taken to Putnam for
interment.

Dame Fortune Has No Favorite Day
in Series Of Dates in Early
November.

Some interesting features of the po-
litical campaign. in comparison with for
mer political campaigns. were recalled
m Washington last night by those fa-
miliar with previous political battles and
with memory for names and dates. For
one thing. the denomination of former
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks
as the running mate with Mr.. Hughes
is the second instance in history when a
former Wee President was selected to
run again. Adlai E. Stevenson was the
first. Another interesting thing in con-
nection with the campaign is that po-
litical fortune has no favorite day in
the series of dates from the I'd to the
Sth of November. every four years. as
the success and defeat of presidential
candidates on those days has been about
equally divided
Former Vice President Adlai Steven
son was renominated with w. J. Bryan
in 1900. after having served with Mr..
Cleveland from 1S93-1S97. Senator Fair
banks filled the position of Vice Presi-
dent from March 4. 1905. to the 4th of

they can conquer. The latter no long

defeat. They do not now demand in

their coasts blockaded, their foreign

All of the brick are now laid and the
engineer is giving them the last in

them. The only part remaining to be
filed is the section between the river

The paved way extends from the
Catholic church on South Bridge
street to Ellis avenue on North
Bridge From the Belrockton on
East Main street to the river bridge
on West Main. And besides this
there is two blocks on Pleasant street
and one on Pearl. Because the con-

work a celebration may be deferred.
