The n0usi; ls one of the fashionable boarding places en the Heights and the occupants are about, evenly divided on the question whether Mr. Fowler tried to commit 'iclde or came accidentally to the condition In which he was found. He was employed, as he told the people of the house when he went there about five weeks ago, as an advertising agent, representing the Boston Advertising Agency.

Times had been bad with him and he fared ill in the matter of securing advertisements for his firm. Last night he told Mrs. Thomp son's niece at the supper table that his a fairs were not in good shape and he hinted 1 that he was short of cash. He was some what despondent then, but Mrs. Thompson i Is not willing to believe that he willfully turned on the gas to kill himself when he retired last night.

I This morning he did not appear at the breakfast table at his usual time, but that was not significant, for he sometimes overslept. The morning ran along until it verged on the forenoon, and then there was some anxiety on the part of the people of the house. Clarence Jamleson. a waiter, finally went upstairs to the ton floor, where Fowl er's roum ls located, and noticed an odor of gas in the nai just outside. He tried the door of locked.

Then he rattled at the knob, but there was no 1 indication that the occupant Was able to hear him. That alarmed the people of the house still more and it was decided that one of the men borders. Mr. Plunkett. should go up.

stairs with Jamleson and force open the door. They pr.oviueu. tneuiseiven witn, an ax. and wniie all of the women in the house stood anxioua ly ixy smashed in the door. There was a fldod gas as the door was opened and for a second or so it was' impossible to enter.

Then the windows were thrown open' and the deadly element was partially" cleared from the room. Fowler was lying on the bed unconscious. He was fully undressed and the gas, which had rendered him insensible, is pouring from a stopcock which ordinarily supplied the gas stove. The pipe providing the gas fo.Th Th fb. and the other fo the stove The latter turned easily and Mrs.

Thompson be ft! light his knuckles accidentally touched the tap to the stove and turned it on. A hurry call was sent for an ambulance and Surgeon Eastman, frorii the Brooklyn Hospital, replied to.it.

The people at the house say that Fowler had excellent family and social connections. Ho wno a fmnuent attendant at tne services ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE HELD.

Now that the wind is gradually making peace wicn wcw York, it is likely tnat us ally, the snow, will try a hand again. It was reasonably safe to navigate the otreets without holding one's hat to day, but the lull is said to be only a shift, from one kind of winter weather to another.

The local prophecy for the next twenty four hours Is: Pair to night; snow Friday, with fresh to brisk north and northeast winds. So, after all, it i.5 not yet time Tor spring styles. It will not be surprising if steamers arriving in New York Harbor during the next few days tell tales of high winds along the American coast. The gales, which have lately howled themselves hoarse among the chimneys of the metropolis, are now con centrating their forces on the high seas and the following official bulletin was Issued today from Washington: "Steamers which depart to day for European ports will have northwest winds, diminishing in force, to the Grand Banks. Steamers' sailing westward to day from European ports will have southerly gales Friday, shifting to high west and northwest Saturday At this time of year a storm of goodly proportion sometimes springs up unannounced.

The pressure continues low from New England northeastward. The PaciBc storm was central this morning over Utah. Rain was falling in many the Southern states, and snow in the Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys and sections ot the lake The temperature has risen in the Bast Gull and South Atlantic states, central valleys, upper lake section and from Texas northwestward to Montana.

Tlie presence of so much ice in the river, Is a novelty and people leave th warmth of the to go out on the forward deck and look at it. Old timers, who used to be stalled, sometimes for hours, before the advent of the bridge, generally keep their seats.

Abaut two years ago Elson returned from a business trip to find his wife and Anderson missing. He was not long in learning that there was more than a coincidence in their disappearance.

Estimated The best Information regarding the re DOrted sale of the 'Carn gie Steel Company t0 tJle Morgan Interests Is that negotia tions are still pending, with prospects favoring a successful conclusion. Conservative students of the situation say that in their opinion nothing definite has yet been accomplished, save that Mr. Carnegie has probably agreed to accept a specified sum for his stock holdings. Various statements, put out with more or less wealth of detail and positiveness, to the effect that the "deal" has been closed, are believed to be founded on nothing more substantial than guess work. Yet it is believed that negotiations have almost If not actually reached that stage where an authoritative statement may reasonably be looked for before many days.

TOWN'S INJUNCTION VACATED. Fight of Wealthy No'rth Side Owners Finds Its Way to. War Department. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth street.

Washington, D. February 7 At the direction of Secretary Root General John M. Wiison, chief of Army engineers, yesterday afternoon sent a telegram to jfajor Ernest Ruftner, in charge of river and harbor improvements at Long Island, instructing the latter to suspend the permit recently given by the War Department to Walter D. Starr to build a dock his premises at Oyster Bay to aid in the operation of removing sand from' the sound at that place. The te! of yesterday was sent in re of the wealthy resi 0 lid not like the 1 with wharves, established in enable watering place.

The adjacent to that owned by Vice Pre. ct Roosevelt, and It Is said that the latter is among those who are fighting against the sand digging scheme, although Charles W. Wetmore of New York is taking the lead in the anti Starr crusade. Mr. Wetmore came to Washington yesterday and had a long talk with Secretary Root about the matter.

The latter called General Wilson to his office and maps of the district in question were sent for. It seems that the permit of the War Department Was issued after the approval of Major Ruffner and General Wiison had been given to the scheme, both of those officers stating that the proposed dock and removal of sand would not interfere in any way with navigation. As Starr owns the property on which he is to erect his dock, and the War Department had issued a permit for the ex: cavation of sand, the Secretary was some what in quandary, especially as some persona: friends of his who are influential resi dent of Oyster Bay are back of the move to oust Starr. Mr. Wetmore explained that the erection of t.h nro'oosed dock and machinery woulQ furnish an unsightly oDstacie tnat wouiq ui entirely out of harmony with the surrounding property, and that it would seriously interfere with the pleasure and enjoyment of the neighbors.

War Department's Jurisdiction la Only Over Navigation. An examination of the War Department records for precedents established the fact that many simUar cases have come up, in all of which the department, had held that its functions were confined strictly to the question of interference with navigation, not takins into account the aesthetic feature. It was also alleged that the removal of sand at that point would Injure the harbor, but against this was the statement of Army engineer that the excavations would not affect navigation. Secretary Root, however, agreed to look into the matter and directed General Wilson to order the suspension of the permit pending aa investigation. It ls understood that a hearing is to be given to the Oyster Bay residents who object to the dock.

Starr has some good friends who are looking after his interests, and tf the "investigation" should proceed with too much deliberation, a resolution will be Introduced in Congress calling for all correspondence in the case and demanding to know why the department does not dissose of the case. It is claimed that Starr will be financially Tulned if the matter be suspended for a great period of time. Secretary Root stated to day that the jurisdiction of the War Department was confined to the question of navigation. Judge Dickey Vacates Injunction Against Starr. (Special to the Eagle.) Oyster Bay.

L. February 7 News reached here to day that Justice Dickey yesterday vacated the temporary Injunction obtained by the Town of Oyster Bay in behalf of the North Side Improvement Association to restrain Walter D. Starr from constructing a dock in front of his premises on Cold Spring Harbor, near Cooper's Bluff, for the purpose of shipping sand from his property. This disposes of the legal part of the controversy until the case comes up for trial at the March term of the Supreme Court in Nassau County. The case, however, has assumed a political aspect which may not be without effect upon the approaching town election in Oyster Bay.

There has been a complete revulsion of public sentiment in favor of Mr. Starr since the names of the millionaires who compose the North Side Improvement Company have been made known, and the plain people are beginning to resent the subserviency of the Town Board to the millionaire shore front owners, who claim for themselves exclusive privileges and deny to these people even the right to bathe or ciam aiouB uieir vwii uuuru property and beaches. They are also beginning to criticise the action of the town in granting a permit to a man to erect a dock to which to moor his steam yacht and denying a like privilege to a man who wishes to use his dock for commercial purposes and employ local heir both winter and summer. One of the oldest baymen here said he predicted Juilgo Dickey's decision and he added that It was clear to anybody who had watched the case that the members of the Town Board would be called, to account a( Members of North Shore Improvement in Plymouth Church and he was there only A tinT1 last Sunday night.
