MURDER DONE
AT PHOENIX

PHOENIX, Ariz., May L
Without notice and without
words Finlay Coffman at noon
today entered the office of the
surveyor general and fired three
shots from an automatic revol
yer into the body of Granville
NJ. Gillette, chief clerk of the
office, and then returned into an
adjoining room and fired a bull
let through his own heart.
The tragedy created a sensa
tion at the capital building, and
both houses at once adjourned
until afternoon.
Coffman had been in a real
estate deal with Gillette, and had
purchased from him a ten acre
tract of land. He claimed that
the title was imperfect, although
the deed given to the land was
backed by a guaranteed title
certificate of a local company.
He had on several occasions
during the past week talked to
Gillette concei ming the title, but
each time had gone away salts
fed.
1t is generally accepted here
that Coffman had brooded over
the matter until he has lost his
reason.
About a year ago Gillette mar
ried a Dallas, Texas, girl, sister
of the wife of former State Engi-
neer Grand. His young wife is
Frustrated. His parents reside
here, his father being Ben T. Gil
lette, former Baptist minister re-
siding at Douglas. He was a
member Of the local lodge of
Elks, and his brother is Leslie
Gillette, special inspector of
mineral applications Of the U. S.

new HOME FOR
ORDER OF OWLS

There are now pending in
Congress several Bill introd TIC ed
for the purpose OF assisting the
Order of Owls. They are all OF
the same nature. One introduced
by Mr.. Carl c. Anderson, mem
ber of Congress fr ON Ohio, is as
follows:
"Be it entacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of
the United States of America in
assembly, That the Secretary OF
the Interior is hereby authorized
and empowered to set aside
a tract of not exceeding four
sections of unoccupied public
lands in a salubriOus section to
be temporarily used by the Order
of of Owls for a sanitarium and
camping ground. subject to the
control of the national officers
of that associations: Provided,
That when such land ceases to
be used for such purposes for a
period of two years it shall re-
vert to the United States"
The object of this movement
as stated above by the Order
of Owls is to get a peice of land
from the Government, ceterally
located upon which will be erect
ed a fine home for the accom-
mediation of the Owls widows
and orphans and sick and indl-
gent members of the Order. This
Order though but a few years
old has made wonderful strides
and is getting to be powerful,
influential and greatly benificial
Order throughout this land
This IS one of their best move,
ments yet and is being heartily
endorsed by all members and the
public generally.
Each individual Lodge has
taken it upon itself to boost the
movement and have notified
their senator's and congressman
from the various states to sup
port the measure, until it looks
now that it will be only but a
short time before Congress will
make the appropria tion for suit
able grounds for to place the
home, which will be a great
credit to this thriving order.

LONDON. July 2.-Fifty thousand
striking dock workers today defied their
leaders and refused to obey the latter s
command to return to work. But 500
of all the men affected appeared for
work this morning. 800 Of whom re-
ported at Tillbury, while 200 lined up at
the Surrey Commercial Docks.
The police planned for the hardest
day they have experienced since the
Inauguration of the strike. Extra police
guards were thrown about M the docks
and heavy forces were held in reserve
for riot duty. The strikers who began
to gather early in threatening mood
and declared their intention to prevent
work being resumed at any cost.
Members of the Sailors and Fire

adopted by the stevedores. Both organI-

LORENZO D. SHAW,
PARKS PROMOTER,
DIES IN This CITY
Inventor of dip" and Other
Amusement Devices to Be
Buried Tomorrow.

lorenzo d. Shaw, one of the most
prominent amusement promoters In the
country, and inventor Of the famous
dip that is now found in many
amusement parks, died last night at his
nome, 1855 Park road northwest He
had been Ill nearly six months, though
ne was not confined to his bed until
three weeks ago. Death was due to
vesical calcui.
Funeral services will be held tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock from the
residence, and the interment will be in
Glenwood Cemetery.
Mr.. Shaw was best known to WASH
tngtonians by his successful manage
ment of Glen Echo, which he began
operating In 1908. He was born in
South Exeter, Me-, in 1912, the son of
q blacksmith. and followed his fathers
trade for a short time. He early
showed tendency for originating novel
devices of various kinds When the
dasuerreotype method of photography
was discovered. Mr.. Shaw went into
this business. and was probably the first
man who made a living out of this
aorm Of photography.
In 1885 he achieved his greatest sue
cess, when he introduced at Coney Is.
land the first toboggan slide. The idea
was popular from the start, and Mi.
Shaw Immediately began developing Il
into the present dip"
He stayed at Coney Island about
twenty years, and then removed to
Philadelphia, where no was connected
with the Willow Grove and Woodstock
Amusement Parks.
In 1903 he came to Washington and
took charge of Glen Echo At that
time Glen Echo was in a somewhat
dilapidated condition and 1t was under
Mr.. Shaws management that it has
grown into the popular and money
making resort II Is today.
Although Mr.. Shaw has devoted most
of his life to amusement devices, he has
made several inventions on other lines.
He has taken out more than seventy
patents, though he has had time to
develop but few of them. One of
the most important was the Shaw
horsepower which was in use in Bos-
ton and other cities until ten years ago.
Mr.. Shaw was a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Board of
Trade and was an active worker in
these organizations. especially in civic
celebrations.
He is survived by wife, one son,
Walter p. Shaw, and. five daughters.
Mrs. Annie Young, Mrs. w. c. Carroll,
Mrs. Lillian Thwing. and Miss Ruth
Edna Shaw.
