MRS. WAINWRIGHT
REPORTED POISONED
DR.. Higgins Says Mercury
Was in Stomach and Alleges
Illegal Operation.
CORONER CALLS INQUEST
Detective Says Victim Refused
to Say More Than That She
Swallowed Pill.

Mrs. Catherine Wainwright of 212
Lowell avenue, Floral Park Queens,
who died in the Nassau Hospital at
Mineola Saturday under mysterious cir
cumstances, had undergone a criminal
operation, according to the preliminary
report filed with Coroner d. P. Kohler
hy DR.. A. l.. Higgins OF Rockville Cen
ter who performed an autopsy. The
report also states that there was mer-
curry present in the dead woman's
stomach.
District Attorney Weeks OF Nassau
county. who is investigating the wom-
ans death, said last night that he ex-
pected interesting and important de-
veiopments at the inqs5ssr which Coroner
Kohler will hold Tomorrow. The ques-
tion of the quantity Of the poison fund
in the stomach probably will be de-
termired at that time, as 1t Is expected
that the Coroner will have q report on
the chemical analysis of the contents of
Mrs. Wainwright's stomach.
County Detective Miller, who Is help
ing the District Attorney with his in
vestigation. said last night that he ques-
toned Mrs Wainwright before she died,
but that the only explanation she would
give was that "a man had given her a
pill to swallow" She refused to divuge
the name of this man. She also said
that when she was i'll in the Wildwood
Sanitarium before she was sent to the
Nassau Hospital she was suffering from
injuries received while bathing with her
sister at Rockaway Beach.
The District Attorney said that he
would question several witnesses at the
inquest, among them Mrs. Wainwright's $
mother. Mrs. Catherine Cushek. and the
nurse from the Wildwood Sanitarum who
attended Mrs Wainwright. He said that
he did not intend to question John Waite,
a lawyer with offices I'm the Woolworth
Building, by whom Mrs. Wainwright was
formerly employed as a bookkeeper
Waite is said 20 have visited the Dis
trict Attorneys office and stated that
Mrs. Wainwright had told him she was
being poisoned.

TWO TIEUPS IN A DAY
ON LINES OF THE /. r. +.
West Side SubUay Stalled 20
and Sd Aue. IL IL Min.

Twp more annoying traffic tieups oc-
Cured yesterday on rapid transit lines.
There was an interruption Of south
bound express and local service for
nearly twenty minutes In the afternoon
in the Interborough's West Side subway.
1t was attributed TO blown out fuses in
cars on two southbound trains at 215th
street.
on the Third avenue elevated line,
operated by the Intesborough under
lease, there was a delay twelve min
utes, beginning at :26 p. NJ, caused by
a breakdown OF the airbrake mechan-
ism OF local train as 1t drew into the
Sixty-seventh street station. The Grip
pled train finally was pushed south to
Chatham square by the urain following
II. This was the fifth tieup in the SER
vice within a week. Neither OF yester-
days mishaps. however. occurred during
the rush hour periods.
In the offices OF the Interborough
company It was denied that the appar-
ent frequency of these recent delays
and breakdowns indicated either de-
terioration OF equipment. maintenance,
or want OF vigilance on the part of the
operating company. Figures were cited
TO show that, while the car miles oper-
ated now each day are largely In excess
of the car miles operated daily one year
ago, the percentage of delays and in
terruptions to service has not increased.

conference at the City Hall yesterday
to consider the eventualities of coal
crisis were told by Patrick Jones. super
intendent OF school supplies. that 100

ence was TO appoint a committee OF
five to draft tentative plan OF ac-
tion and report at the City Hall to-mor-
row morning.
Chairman George McAneny of the
Transit Commission. declared that
recent tie-ups and delays on the transit
systems were in no way attributable
to the coal shortage. and the Commits
sion felt confident that the coal sup
plies could be maintained.
The Real Estate Board OF New York
proposed yesterday a new fuel code for
buildings which will be submitted to
Governor Miller and the State Fuel Au-
thority as a means of substantially cur
failing coal consumption both in office
buildings and apartment houses. The
code provides for a twenty-five per cent
reduction in elevator service in business
buildings, similar reduction in light
ing of halls and lobbies, and a maxi
mum temperature of $50 degrees for hot
water in apartments and a room tenn
perature of 6s degrees
