MAN DIES ALONE IN
HOUSE OF STRANGER
Out of Kindness Of Heart Mrs. Har-
vey Attends Old Man in
Last Moments

Alone and in a strange house, ]. o.
Holts, an elderly man from Seattle,
who has been in the county hospital for
some time past, died at the home of
Mrs. A. C. Harvey, 1912 East Sixth
street, last night.
Until yesterday afternoon Mrs. Har-
vey had never seen the man, but late
in the day, happening to go into the
front yard, she saw him lying on the
sidewalk, unable to porceed. Without
stopping to question, Mrs. Harvey took
the man into her house and called a
physician to attend him.
The doctor worked until late into
the night in an effort to save Holts'
life, but without avail. A violent hem
orrhage about 10 o'clock was the end.
Holts came to Los Angeles from Seat
tie several weeks ago, and shortly after
his arrival became sick and went to the
county hospital for treatment. Yester-
day, feeling strong enough to travel,
he started for the Arcade depot, intend
ing to take a train for Seattle that he
might die among his own people.
The body was taken to Bresee Bros,
where it will be held until Holts' rela-
tives are heard from. Holts is known
to have a daughter living in Seattle by
the name of Mrs. Martha Black, and
she will be notified of his death today.

LOCOMOTIVES COLLIDE
IN RAILWAY YARDS
Heavy Freight Train Runs Onto Open
Switch and Strikes Switch
Engine

An accident in which it was almost
miraculous that no one was either in
jured or killed occurred shortly after
1 o'clock this morning at Eighth and
Alameda streets when a heavy South
ern Pacific freight engine crashed into
a yard engine which was standing on
a side track.
The freight train drawn by engine
22S2, with Engineer Guthrie in the cab,
was coming slowly up Alameda stsreet,
and proceeded onto the side track be-
fore those in charge knew that the
switch had been left open. Yard en-
gine number 1047 was standing on the
switch waiting for the freight to pass,
and was struck by the heavier engine
before the reverse power could be ap-
piled.
Both the engineer and fireman on the
yard engine, when they saw that a
crash was imminent, jumped from the
cab and got out of the way of flying
timbers. Engineer Guthrie and his
fireman stayed at their posts and es-
capped without a scratch.
The yard engine was knocked off the
track and it's front end badly stove in.

HISTORY OF ASPHALT CASE
Washington Receives Full Copies of
the Late Decision
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Ful.
copies of the decision of the supreme
court of Venezuela, technically known
as the federal and cessation court, that
is, court of the sole and last instance,
in the action against the New York
& Bermudez Asphalt company, have
just reached Washington and a copy
has been filed at the state depart
ment.
The decision is very long 1t embodies
a history Of the proceedings in the as
phalt case in the lower courts and is
signed by seven judges. 1t bears the
date of February Is, and, in brief.
amounts to an affirmation OF the cor
rectness of the proceedings in The
lower court leading to the attachment
Of the property of the company.
This action is based on the charge
that the company did not live up to the
terms of its concession in falling to
canallze certain streams and develop
certain natural resources of the coun-
try. No notice appears to have been
taken of the company's contention that
1t holds title to its land at present not
solely under the original concession
known as the Hamilton concession of
1888, but under the land laws of Ven
ezuela, under which patents have been
duly taken out for the land.

OAKLAND. March 20.-Asserting
that he had been converted by the
evangelists who have been holding
meetings in this city, Earl r. Bodine,
who says he is an ex-convict, went be-
fore Chief of Police Hodgkins today,
accompanied by some of the evan
gelists, and to him confessed that eight
years ago, near Fort Fairfield, Me-, he
had shot and killed companion, dis
posing of the body by throwing it into
the Aroostook river. He says that as
the body disappeared beneath the
waters the dead mans eyes glared at
him and ever since he has been unable
to rid himself of those haunting eyes.
An investigation is being made of his
story. The authorities believe that he

FRANCE DENIES RELATIONS
ARE ACUTE
Considers Question still Within Dip.

Act Independently While
Watching This Country
BY Associated rross.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, March 20.-The representa-
tions by the French minister at Caracas
to the Venezuelan government have not
yet taken the form of a political pro-
test, but are in the nature of a declara-
tion upon the legal rights of the French
Gable company. which France desires
TO have respected. The authorities here
do not wish the view to prevail that
French relations with Venezuela have
reached an acute stage. On the con-
trary, 1t is said the question remains
clearly within the diplomatic limit, and
no consideration has yet been given to
sending warships to Venezuelan wa
ters or taking other possible measures
for exerting force.
Owing to the difference of time be-
tween Caracas and Paris, the courts
decision is not expected here tonight
and may possibly be deferred for sew
eral days. The authorities here have
from the first intended to deal with the
subject without seeking intervention or
joint action on the part of the United
States, although desirous of knowing
what the United States intended doing
upon practically similar conditions rel
ative to the New York and Bermudez
Asphalt company. The purpose of this
seems to be to adopt measures along
the same lines as the United States,
although maintaining independent ac-
ton.
Inquiry at the ministry of marine
tonight failed to elicit verification of
the report cabled here from the United
States to the effect that French war
ships have been ordered to Venezuela.
On the contrary, no movements of that
character have yet been ordered. |
Moreover, there has been no meeting |
of the cabinet since Friday, when 1t
was decided not to take definite ac-
tion until the Venezuelan courts have
rendered a final decision. The foreign
office said specifically that the stage
of the sending of warships had not yet
been reached.

that the wound was not serious. The
ball struck a rib, glanced off and
passed through the fieshy part OF the
arm.

VENEZUELAN ENVOY HERE
Denies That French Gable Line Has
Been Seized

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON March 20.-CarIos
r. Figueredo, consul general of Vene-
zuela at New York. arrived here to-
night in the company of DR.. Paul,
special diplomatic envoy of Venezuela
to the United States. Dr. Paul will
remain here several days to watch de-
velopments in the trouble over the
French Gable company's concession
from Venezuela. Mr.. Figueredo said
tonight that the cablegram from Min
lister Bowen, saying that suit had been
instituted at this time by Venezuela
to cancel the cable company's conces-
was incorrect, as the suit to annul the
concession was brought in the Vene-
zuelan courts in 1908.
The basis of the suit, he said, was
an allegation that the company had
not given such cable service as was
stipulated should be given when the
concession was granted. The cable
line, it was stated by Mr.. Figueredc,
had not been seized and was unmO-
Tested. He said that his information
was to the effect that all parties were
awaiting a decision on appeal in the
case, which decision should be handed
down this week.
Consul General Figueredo said he
was confident that inasmuch as the
matter was in the court awaiting ar
tion, no attempt would be made by
coercive measures to influence the reg
ular judicial procedure of his country.

Then II was that acts of sacrifice
and heroism were seen. One man whose
legs were caught under an iron bed
cried to the rescuers that they could
not extricate him and to help the girls
behind him. Stretching out his arms,
he lifted several girls one by one, and
passed them to the rescuers. Then the
