Deaths in Bloomsbury Mansion House Not Yet
 Fully Solved

London, April "A surprise was sprung in the Bloomsbury mystery house inquest toda' when the cor ! oner after hearing the testimony re- garding finding of the bodies of Granville Cooke and Selwyn Foster. adjourned the inquiry until April 25. It was announced that a complete analysis of the bodies in an attempt to explain the mysterious deaths, would require three weeks longer.
 Before the coroner adjourned the inquest Dr. William Fairlie testified that Cooke's death was clearly due to gas poisoning. While there was indication that carbon monoxide poisoning might have caused Eos ter" death, he preferred to wait for the result of the complete analysis before expressing a final opinion.
 Mrs, Bertha Ethel Cooke, widow of the inventor and poet. who was the first witness, sa' d he separated from her husband in January. but saw him recently. At their meeting, she said, Cooke acted queerly and seemed acutely depressed. Cooke oftn threatened suicide, but usually repented when the it of depression passed, Mrs, Cooke testified.
 Mrs Emily Poster, mother of the young victim of the mysterious tragedy. testified that her son re- gently parted with his reversionRry interest in his fathers estate. Foster suffered lass of memory three years ago. she said, but never threatened suicide.

 NEW COAL COMPANY
 BEING ORGANIZED ). and H. R. R. Proposes to
 Transfer Its Properties STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE
No Plans Have Been Outlined by Directors Concerning Proposed Distribution Of Securities to Stockholders.

New York, April 4.--Segregation of the anthracite coal holdings of the Delaware 6 Hudson Co. was proposed today by the railroads board of managers. Stockholders of the common at their annual meeting on May 12 will be asked to approve the transfer of the coal properties to new corporation. all the stock of which will be owned by the Delaware & Hudson com pany.
 <. No plans were outlined by the board for a distribution of the pro- posed coal company's securities to Delaware &3 Hudson stockholders. 6
 In asking for authority to order the segregation, the board explained that there would be transferred to the new corporation properties owned or controlled by the Dela- ware & Hudson Co. pertaining to the mining, preparation and mar keting of anthracite, including the stock Of subsidiary corporations, for such consideration in the form of stocks, bonds or other securities of the purchasing company as the board of managers might deem ade- quate and advantageous.
 The Della ware X Hudson is one of the few railroads which has been allowed to retain possession of it's coal holdings while other roads fin the east were forced to segregate their properties. The exception, 1t is understood, was based on the fact that the company under its original charter granted in 1923 was not or- ganized as railroad but as a canal and coal company.
 The road is primarily a coal car rier and owns extensive properties in the anthracite districts. Its en- tire output at present is sold 10 the Hudson Coal Co. for distribution.
