The state department was in receipt
of vague advices regarding the clash
between the Haytiens and the Domini-
cans.
American Minister Russell said that
while news of the conflict had reached
San Domingo, it was promptly denied,
though the Haytien government is ad >
mitted TO have sent out armed forces
to compel the Dominicans to stop work
on the road between Perdenales and
Lake Fondo.
The Dominican government, which is
building the road, insists it does not
CROSS Haytien territory, and that even
if 1T did, the matter was one to be set
tied by diplomatic representations. The
action of Hayti in sending an armed
force against peaceful road builders. is
therefore regarded as clearly hostile
act
This the Dominican authorities regard
as sufficient to warrant them taking
Immediate defensive measures.
The difficulty is not regarded here
as serious, but it is not unlikely that
one of the little gunhoats on the Cen
trail American coast will be sent to San
Domingo 20 observe developments,

DIES IN BATH TUB
OF HEART DISEASE
FIRST THEORY IN THE
CASE OF EDWARD FOX
Dead Man Was Grand Physical
Specimen, Being Nearly Six
and One-HaIf Feet in
Height

Although some mystery surrounds
the death of Edward Fox, a machinist,
whose body was found in a bath tub at
his rooming house, 1926 Pasadena ave-
nue. Yesterday morning, investigation
by the coroner showed that death was
due to natural causes and not SUICIDE
as was first surmised.
When Fox did not appear yesterday
morning and was not in his room the
landlady investigated, and by peerlnS
through the keyhole of the bath room
she saw the apparently lifeless body
Summoning a patrolman the bath room
was broken into and Fox was found
with his face submerged in six inches
of water and life nearly extinct.
Restoratives We're given, but Fox did
not respond to the treatment and died
a few minutes later. The body was
sent to the undertaking rooms of John
r. Paul, where an inquest will be held
this morning. The coroner's office was
notified, but it was learned that Fox
had been subject to heart failure, and
it is believed that while preparing for
his morning bath he was seized with a
the water.
Fox came to Los Angeles two months
ago. He seemed well supplied with
money, as he had refused several at
tractive offers as machinist, stating
that he did not intend to work until he
found position that suited him.
Letters found in his pocket denoted
that his home was in Buffalo, n. Y.
where he has a mother living. Funeral
arrangements will not be made until
word has been received from Buffalo.
Fox was fine specimen of manhood,
80 years old and feet inches tall, and
of a cheerful and happy disposition.
