was caused mainly by the dlssatlsfac-

standard Of the schools and faculties Of

The annual school board election &C.

women turned out In force. and. despite

In placing two OF their number on the

This victory was the starting point
Of the new woman movement In Mar

RANSOME MURDER MYSTERY.
COURSE OF BULLET TRACED BY
SURGEONS.
D eceaSeds Brother, Earnest, is Wealthy
Inventor Have Several
Clues to Work On.

No developments in the River avenue
mystery have come to light today.
Friends Of the deceased man gave Mr.. ].
A. Mccormick the names Of three BROTH
ers of whom Ransome had spoken
frequently. They are William and
Thomas Rapsome, Jefferson City,
Francisco California. To the first and
last of these Mr.. Mccormick sent tele
grams last night, which were returned to
him this morning. This morning j.
Kelley Gordon notified Mr.. Mccormick
that he knew one Earnest L. Ransome, a
prominent man of atfiuence, OF Chicago,
whose address is 269 Dearborn street, Chi
cago. At 1920 this morning Mr.. McCor-
mick sent a telegram to this address, to
which he has received no answer yet.
Mr.. Gordon says he met Earnest l..
Ransome year and half ago and has
since had extensive correspondence with
him. He is scientific man and inventor,
and has twenty or more patents on meth
DDS of construction. Last November he
read paper on the subject OF concrete
foundations before the convention of the
American Architectural institute OF New
York Mr.. Gordon says there Is slight
resemblance between the deceased and
Earnest L. Ransome.
A LIGHT reporter was at McCormick's
morgue yesterday afternoon while the
doctors we're searching for the bullet, and
heard a number Of ingenious theories.
The bullet entered the breast two inches
below the left nipple, ranged upward
slightly, and lodged in the vertebral
column. The skin was not powder
burned on the outside, but the heart was
literally honey -combed with powder, an
evidence that the weapon was pressed
against the body when fired. 1t could
not be extracted and the caliber Is I'M
| known
| The stomach when opened, revealed a
mixture Of potatoes and meat in an in
cipient stage of digestion, showing that
the deceased had eaten not long before he
met his death. No traces of liquors were
found.
The most plausible theory advanced,
as to the mannerof the death, involves
the consideration or the following points:
The deceased when found on River ave-
nue. wore no underclothes. The appear
ance OF his clothes indicated that they
had been donned with difficulty or care
lessuess. No bullet hole was in the
clothes, and no weapon was found. For
various reasons. among which are the
deceased's cheerfnlness, no weapon
being found, the theory OF suicide is pre-
cluded. No one but an insane person
would take a mans clothes off in order tc
shoot him. Conceive a case where mar
leaves home at midnight. later is founa
undressed by the assassin, who presses the
weapon against the body and hres. then
redresses the body and carries 1t away 81
that 1t may be found in another place
and congruity of circumstances Is es
, tablished. At least some such theories arr
, now being followed by the officers > n(
, they say they have clue.
