Chemists Fail Thus Far to
Establish Gas as Killing

Investigators have almost reached
the conclusion that" the death was
caused by weak heart This theory
runs to the effect that when Windsor
awoke in one room of the apartment
OF Mrs. Boiler. at PIT f street, early
Sunday morning, he went to the
kitchen and found Mrs. Boiler dead.
Lucian II. Van Doren, attorney for
windsor, today expressed implicit
faith in the story told at the Inquest
yesterday by his client. This was to
the effect that he had arisen to find
Mrs. Boteler out OF her room and had
discovered her PROSTATE form in the
Kitchen with gas escaping from burn
ers in the stove. -

NEW YORK. November 2s.-The
stock market during the past week
has kept on with the advance which
started just before and just after the
presidential electionsfr2 The motive
was quite clear. namely. the disap-
pearance of all worry about the pos
sibility of an amendment to the
transportation act, and the feeling of
security that political conditions
would remain the way they are, GER
tainly for the next two years, and
most likely for the next four years.
Supplementing the reassurances af-
forded by the results Of the elections
have come more favorable reports
from various lines of trade. The
stock market, accordingly, has been
paying attention to these optimistic
accounts and 1t is probable that In
the majority of instances 1t has gone
good way toward discounting busi-

items on the outside news has been
felt most keenly in the security mar
kets. Although the total volume of
business on no day was quite up to
the maximum of the previous week,
the turnover kept on at a high rate.
The public appetite was evidently not
satisfied and speculation was carried
to new heights. The average of
prices reached a new top. Ordinarily
an advance of such magnitude in so
short a time would be thought suffi-
cient to have anticipated a larger de-
gree of Improvement in business even
than has been noted. But each sue
cessive favorable bit of news had the
tendency of dispelling what fears had
arisen that the speculative movement
would be carried to extremes.

touched since early in the year had
no noticeable effect upon security

of the past week has been the sale
