WOMAN WHO DIED IN TUB MAY HAVE BEEN POISONED Coroner Orders Autopsy on) the Body of Anna Van Auken, SEEK HER MEN FRIENDS. Employer Does Not Believe She Could Have Commit- ted Suicide. ‘An antopsy win be performed to-day to-detetmine the cause of death of Miss Anna Van Auken, whose nude body was found. dead in a bathtub tn her apart- ment at No, 621 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street last night. As gas was pouring from a jet in the bathroom Coroner Winterbottom ts inclined to be- Heve that death was gaused by gas, and that the young woman committed sul- cide, but there is a possibility that she had taken or was given poison, and that death was not caused by gas, The fact that Miss Van Auken's seventy-year-old father, with whom she lived, could not be found injected some mystery into the case until it wae learned that Mr. Van Auken left town on Wednesday last to visit @ married daughter in Altmont, N. ¥,, where he is now. The police have been looking for several men who are said to have visited the apartment yesterday. There were no marks of violence on| the young woman's body, which was only partially immersed in water, Death could, not have been caused by drowning. Coroner Winterbottom will insist on performing an autopsy to make sure that death was not caused by poison. ‘The young woman had occupied the apartment a month. Her ‘ather resided with her. Miss Helen Freech ,a friend of Miss Van Auken, living at No 627 West One Hundred and Thirty- .fourth street, told the polloe the woman ‘had been employed by Joseph J. O'Don- ghue jr, real estate broker, at No. a7 Wifth avenue, as a stenographer for ears. “She and her father came to New) ,York from Hackensack, N. J.” said} Freech. “I heard that her moter | ntly Was sent to the insane asylum | on Ward's Island aid that, before be- ing taken there, she tried to kill her- welt by inhaling gas. Itgmay be that Anna was led to kill her by brood- ing over her mother's plight” CAN'T BE A SUICIDE, SAYS HER, EMPLOYER. Mr. O'Donon said to-day, at his/ home, No. West Seventy-third street, that the news of Miss Vanj \ukens death was @ great si0ck to him, “Miss Van Auken,” he sald, “has been a competent and faithful employe for more than ten years. We regarded her as extremely iigent and of a very high churacter. She was remark- | able for her cheerfulness and when | she left the office Saturday after noon she appeared her usual sunn self. I would pick her out as the las mit suicid person on earth to c “Had she any such idea in mind T feel certain that she would have lef:| & note for m: some of her assoct ates in the office, t have heard of other's plight and also that a brother! onee attempted suicide, but this did not seem to prey upon her mind.” ‘The body of 3 an Auken was dis- covered by Henry Howrie, agent of the Dullding, Who smelled gas as he was passing through a hallway. He entered the flat occupied by the young woman and was aimost overcome, When the windows, which were al! locked, were raised the body was dis- Covered in the bathtw, which was par- tially Mijed with water, A gas jet in the batiroom was open. CORONER BELIEVES SHE MAY HAVE DIED OF POISONING. Coroner Wintehbottom was called by the police of the West One Hundred and Tweity-iifth street station, “Lam suspicious,” said the Coroner, “pecause the skin is not pink, That 1s the usual evidence of death by asphyxi- ation, [ intend to investigate this death very thoroughly, for [ think the young woman may have died of poison.” The Coroner said his suspicions were strengthened by the fact that so little ner clothing could be found in the flat, He said @ thorough search had revealed nothing but # torn baturove, a pair of te. seen by turday after- stockings and a pai Miss Van Auken per@ons in the building noon. Her father was not observed in ihe butldng at a yesterday. In tne apartment were s¢ empty beer votties and glasses pa Jly Alled with drinks—beer and Waiskey. | te of cigars and cigarettes were aiso found ying about. “Ne one in the house knew mach about the young woman ani her father, said Bowrie to the police. ‘They apparently did not care to make friends of th ghbors.

He cites this purchase, which he says Geprived the woman's husband and children of necessities, as proof of feminine barbarism, But for one idiotic and criminal apendthrift,of this kind there are a hundred women who wear old dresses and rggrim old hats that a husband may fe the right appearance at the office or the children have new shoes to wear to school.
