CRUSHED BY TRAM;
MAY De MURDER
MUTILATED REMAINS FOUND
AT BIXBY STATION
Victim Believed to Be M. n. Ransome
of Sixty-Ninth Street and Holmes
Avenue-Wife Cannot Ex-
plain Mystery

The mutilated remains of man sup
posed to be M. H. Ransome, who had
been living at the corner of Sixty
ninth street and Holmes avenue, were
found on the tracks of the Salt Lake
railroad a short distance south of
Bixby station by a trackwalker early
yesterday morning. Bixby station Is
on the line between Los Angeles and
Long Beach.
At the point where the accident oc-
Cured the tracks of the Salt Lake
and the Long Beach line of the Pacific
Electric company run parallel and close
together for some distance, and as
there was considerable delay in remov-
ing the body several electric cars load
ed with pleasure seekers passed, the
grewsome stains on the other track
being plainly visible.
The appearance of the remains would
indicate that the body had been on
the track all night and had been
passed over by the many night freights.
The body had been ground into pieces
and parts of it and bits of clothing
were scattered along the track for a
quarter of a mile.
The only means of Identification
found by the coroner were a card, part
of the clothing and the shoes. The
card bore the name of M. H. Ransome.
The remains were taken to Long Beach
where S. W. Meyers partially identified
the clothing and shoes.
Ransome has a wife and two chill
dren. He left home two days ago, in
tending to go to San Pedro for a
days fishing, but he has not returned.
neither has he been heard from and
this fact, together with the other evil
dence, leads the authorities to believe
that the dead man is Ransome.
One theory which is advanced as the
most plausible is that Ransome was
returning home from his fishing expe-
dition, and as he could save consldera-
BILE time by catching Pacific Electric
car to the city suddenly decided to
jump from the train, which might
have slowed down for a switch which
is located near this point, and take the
first car which came along on the other
track. 1t is supposed that he missed
his footing in the darkness and fell
under the wheels Of the train, and lay
there during the night
Mrs. Ransome said her husband had
intended TO return home that night and
take the steamer for his mines In Mexi-
co the next day.
1t is known that one NJ. II. Ransome
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-02

once was detective in the employ of
the Pacific Electric company and a
theory has been advanced to the effect
that in his official capacity Ransome
had made enemies, and that some of
these may have killed him, taken all
of his valuabes and papers which
would serve to identify the body over
looking the single card, and then placed
the body on the railroad track to cover
up their crime.

General Greene Testified That As-
 phaIt Company Favored Rebels.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Declaring that the New York and Bermudez company did materially aid the Mates revolution against Venezuela in 1901, General Francis " Greene was witness in the case of the Venezuela government against the company.
 General Greene was asked only one question, which he answered at length, bis reply tending to show that the de- fendant did aid the revolutionists. John D. Lindsay, representing the New York and Bermudez company, did not ask General Greene question in cross ex- animation.
 The question put to General Greene by Rufus B. Cowing. Jr., who, with Mir. Dupignac, represents the Venezuelan government, was as follows:
 State whether when you returned from Europe in 1901 you knew John NJ. Mack, Avery D. Andrews and Arthur W. sewall or any of them as represent. atives of the National Asphalt compa- ny or any of the allied companies were In communication with NJ. A. Mates or were aiding him with money or in any other manner"
 My only knowledge" replied Gen. eral Greene slowly and speaking with great deliberation, "of this matter comes from what was told to me by Messrs. Mack, Andrews and Sewall. When I returned from Europe in 0c- tober, 1901, I was surprised to learn from them that during my absence they had decided to support Mates in bis contest with Castro.
 T told them thought they had made a great mistake, because what they had done was not acting in good faith with the state department in Washing ton, which up to that time and largely on representations made by me to Sec retary Hay had supported the Bermu- deg company to such an extent as to enable it to continue in possession of its property.
 T told them that in view of what they had done during my absence 1t would be impossible for me to make any further claims at the state depart ment in Washington in behalf of the Bermudez company, and, in fact, never did after that date"

THE NEEDS OF CUBA
Island Republic Wants Reci-

LEADING MERCHANTS TO URGE PALMA
Traders, Manufacturers and Planters Want General Commercial Treaty. AngIo-Cuban Agreement
 May He Killed.

HAVANA, Oct. B.-The seven com mercial, industrial and agricultural as- sociations of Cuba held joint meet Ing here and unanimously passed a resolution to the effect that the great commercial need of Cuba is new and, if possible, permanent commercial treaty with the United States.
 The meeting elected a commission composed of prominent representatives of each interest concerned to initiate a movement toward the obtaining of such treaty. Louis Galban, lead ing importer and president of the Ha- vana chamber of commerce, was chosen president of the joint move ment, and other permanent officers were elected.
 The meeting directed the officers and the members of the commission to visit President Palma and the mem bers of the cabinet and acquaint them with the purpose of the movement. They will be received by the president today.
 The merchants, manufacturers and planters desire treaty covering not only reciprocity, but also general com mereial relations. It is expected that the movement incidentally presages the certain death of the Anglo Cuban commercial treaty, the ratification of which Is now pending in the senate. Business interests universally are awakening to the fear of retaliation by the United States if such treaty is allowed to become effective, and the government is criticised in some quar- ters for signing treaty according to Great Britain favored nation treat ment without consulting the business interests of the country.

 ticabiIfty of Trans-Ameri-
 can Waterway.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Theodore F. Shonts, Rear Admiral M. D. Endicott, Brigadier General o. H. Ernst, Major Benjamin NJ. Harrod, General George w. Davis, chairman of the consulting engineers; William Barclay Parsons. W. H. Burr, Henry L. Abbott and Flu gene Tincanzer, Panama canal com mlssioners, have arrived here from Co- lon.
 Mir. Shonts said that the health situa- ton on the isthmus is more encourag- ing than any one had dared to hope. There were sixty-two cases of yellow fever in June forty-two in July, twen- ty-seven in August, six in September and none so far in October. In Ancon hospital there were but 239 cases of various sorts of disease, where the ay- craze at this time of the year is usu- ally 360.
 The party brought heavy cargo of DIduu aCW luCas dUbaS oAoAAs@ 01~ the place where the canal will go through. The ideas were slowed in the heads of the twelve members of the board of consulting engineers who had spent eight busy and inquisitive days in Panama under the sheltering wing of four members of the isthmian canal commission. None of the party, even William Barclay Parsons, would state very explicitly what they thought or had discovered. Mr Parsons said that the engineers had collected a great mass of data, which they intended to get off their minds in the form of maps, projections and calculations at meet ing of the board in Washington tomor- row. The results of their meeting will be turned over to the canal commis- sion, which will meet on Friday in Washington.
 MT. Parsons said: "Three questions occupied all our time, and in their so- lution we bent all our energies. They were the practicability of the canal, it's lowest cost and the length of time which it would take to complete it. These will be the points at issue at the meeting tomorrow in Washington. No, we have not yet decided on the ques- tion of sea level or locks"
