Without the slightest warning three

Apoplexy and heart failure are given
as the causes
The record is without parallel in the
history of Los Angeles, and the coro-
day afternoon answering the hasty
calls from various portions of the city.
Robert Williams. go years of age, was
the second victim. Williams went to
bath house at 1271s North Broadway
early in the afternoon. He had fire.
quently bathed at the place, and when
he arrived there was shown his room
by an attendant. He had partly sue
ceeded in removing his clothes when
he was suddenly stricken with heart

to Robert Williams, 2S42 South Grand
avenue was found in the pocket of the
dead mans coat and formed the only
clew to the mans identity.
The body of man was found on the
sidewalk at Pasadena avenue and Ave-
nue. Twenty-three yesterday afternoon.
The man had been dead for several min
utes, and the coroner was notified and
the body removed to PauPs undertake
ing rooms. Heart failure was the cause
of death, and the body was later iden-
titled as that of Rudolph Burkhardt.
Failing to see anything of their land

days, and, although heart failure is
supposed to have caused death, an in
vestigation will be made by the COR
oner.

RECEIVER WORKING PROPERTY

BY Associated Preas.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON March 22.-The state
department has heard nothing from
Minister Bowen to indicate that the
Venezuelan government has made an
swer to his last proposition to arbitrate
the American claims, and It is sup
posed that the answer, when 1t does
come, will be to the effect that the
Venezuelan government insists on
awaiting the final action of its courts
upon the pending asphalt case. 1t will
then remain for the state department
to determine how long 1t is prepared
to await this judicial action The diff
hculty Is that the Venezuelan govern
men has refused the application of the
asphalt company, supported by Mr..
Bowen, to revert to the status existing
before the appointment of receiver
in the asphalt case and allow the COM
pany to repossess itself of its property.
AS 1t is the receiver is taking out
large quantities of asphalt from Ber-
mudez lake, the proceeds from which
are going into the Venezuelan treasury,
to the great financial loss of the COM
pany, which is making daily represen-
tations on the subject to the state de-
partment.
Notwithstanding the statement from
London that the council of bondholders
contend that their proposed settle
ment with Venezuela is entirely in ac-
cord with the Washington protocol of
1903, the officials here fail to find in
that protocol any warrant for this
agreement, which they regard as likely
to seriously affect the claims of all
other nations than Germany and Great
Britain against Venezuela, and some of
the foreign representatives here have
cabled this view of the matter to their
governments.
The president is concluding arrange
ments for his southwestern trip, on
which he expects to start Monday,
April g. and no apprehension exists
that the trip will be leither abandoned
or postponed on account of the vene-
zuelan imbroglio. The president ex-
poets in his absence from Washington
to keep in close touch with the situation
as it may develop, and will be in po-
sition constantly to issue such instruc-
tions from his trains as may be neces-
sary.

RELEASED ON BAIL OF $4,000
President Of the Board OF Public
Works Is Accused Of Inducing
a Witness to Testify
Falsely
RELEASED ON BAIL OF $4,000
BY Associated Press

BY AeSoctated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Frank
A. Maestretti, president Of the board
Of public works of this city, was today
indicted by the grand jury on a felony
charge. He is accused of inducing wit
nesses to testify falsely in the case Of
Charles wyman, formerly barkeeper
in his employ, who is now serving
sentence in the state prison for fraud
ulent voting at the last presidential
election.
Immediately after the presentation Of
the indictment to Judge Lawlor, pre-
siding Judge of the superior court, a
warrant was issued for Maestretti's ar
rest and his bail was fixed at $4,000.
Maestretti's indictment was brought
about with only fourteen of the nine
teen grand jurors present When the
jury met in Judge Lawlor's court
room Foreman T. P. Andrews, e. J.
Bowes and John H. Speck were excused
at their own request from taking any
part in the case about to be considered.
They stated that their state of mind
disqualified them from serving. H. J.
Cordes retired from the jury room with
out the formality Of asking to be ex-
cused. D. H. Lohsen was unavoidably
absent. This left only fourteen.
Twelve votes were necessary to indict.
After the evidence had been presented
thirteen of the fourteen men voted In
favor of indicting -Maestretti.
The Bulletin says that the evidence
against Maestretti was given by w. H.
Podd and Charles e. Merrill. whose
statements were fully substantiated by
C. M. Silberstein. These men were the
election officers in the seventy-third
precinct of the thirty-ninth assembly
district.
Merrill is alleged to have testified
that after the arrest Of Wyman, Macs
tretti called at his home one night.
He went out and asked what was
wanted Maestretti then requested him
to swear that Wyman voted only once.
Merrill, after some hesitation. says he
agreed to testify as requested, since
he had not seen Wyman vote more than
once, having been absent from the
booth for a short time. Maestretti, it
is alleged, then advised Merrill to stand
up against any cross fire at the trial.
Maestretti was taken into custody
and released on $4,000 bail. He char
acterized his arrest as a case of perse-
cution.
