"UNWR|TTEN LAW
Shows No Emotion as He
Tells of Tragedy Due to
Domestic Trouble.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 27.-Showing

Tense, but IL is believed he will plead
the 'unwritten law" and will allege
Toliver was responsible for the trouble
between himself and Mrs. Lewis.
Coroner Bell today began his inquest
into the affair. intending to pay par
ticular attention to the question
whether Toliver or his wife died first.
The shooting was the direct result of
quarrels between the two men lasting
several months. A year ago Toliver,
who was an airship inventor. employed
Lewis as his secretary and chauffeur,
and also employed him in connection
with the business Of the Toliver Aerial
Company. The two men quarreled
soon after and a break between Mrs.
Lewis and her husband followed. Lewis

Of affection. Before the suit came to
trial Mrs. Lewis was reconciled with
her husband.
Lewis admits that he planned de-
liberately to slay ToliVer. He went
to the Toliver home here, tied up a
pet dog and hid himself in the shrub
berry armed with two automatic re-
yolyers and dagger. When Toliver
and his wife drove up in an auto
mobile. Lewis opened fire. Nineteen
shots were fred. Toliver was struck
by several bullets but not mortally
wounded. His wife stepped before
him to shield him and Lewis fred two
shots at her. One bullet struck her
in the mouth and the other In the
head, both inficting mortal wounds
She kept her strength long enough to
rush into the house and call the po-
lice station. but died before she could

ATTEMPT TO END
TRANSPORT STRIKE
PROVES FAILURE
Mobs Threaten Violence and
Danger of Famine Is
Increasing.

LONDON. May 2I-The first attempt
to break the transport strike was made
here today when a guard of 400 police
was placed about the Victoria and Al
bert docks, the biggest In London, to
protect strike-breakers at work there
from interference. Although the work.
ing force of freight handlers was far
below its usual quota, the transport
companies gave notice to shippers that
traffic could be kept moving under
police guard. Police escorts were fur
nished 10 draymen and truckers
The attempt to break the strike by
wholesale use of police angered the
strikers. and mobs gathered along the
har6or front early IN the day. S threat; rst;
serious trouble was threatened the
guards were doubled.
Mass Meeting Held.
Following the adoption of resolutions
by the transport workers yesterday at
their monster mass meeting in Trafal-
gar square, the men remained firm In
their determination not to go back 10
work so long as the companies en-
ployed nonunion labor. Harry Gosling,
leader of the strikers, announced that
there was q possibility of the port elec-
trlcians joining the walkout.

employed was inadequate to handle the
great amount Of freight which has ac-

There Is a great amount of perishable

Ben Tillett, founder Of the dock

order for a national strike would be
issued without delay.
President Sidney Buxton of the Board
of Trade, Premier Asqulth and Chan

situation today, and discussed the var

great fear is that sympathetic strikes

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
- ALEXANDRIA VA. MAY q.


Thomas NJ. Fairfax, well-known citl-
zen and veteran Of the civil war, died
yesterday afternoon at the home of his
daughter, Mrs c. Randolph Davis, at
5O7 Prince street. Mr.. Fairfax was born
in Fairfax county, seventy-two years
ago. During the war he served in the
Confederate forces in Col John 8.
Mosby's famous command. Just after
the conflict he engaged in the grocery
business. his store being located at
Duke and Fairfax streets. Owing to
failing health about Ave years ago, he
was forced to retire. He was stricken
with paralysis, the third attack COM
ing several weeks ago, which resulted
in his death.
He Is survived by a wife and the fol-
lowing children: Milton S. Fairfax,
Mrs. c. Randolph Davis, and Mrs. SAM
uel Rhea. of Washington. The, funeral
will take place from the residence of his
daughter at 3 o'clock, tomorrow after
noon, the services being conducted by
the Rev. william j. Morton. Burial
will be made in the Presbyterian Ceme-
terry.
Funeral services for Mrs. Martha
Duncan, who died at her home in Del
Ray, Alexandria county, yesterday aft
ernoon. will take place from Christ
Protestant Episcopal Church at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, the Rev. William j.
Morton, the rector, officiating. Mrs.
Duncan was eighty-four years of age,
and had lived in this country for forty.
eight years. She had attended the
church services yesterday, apparently
in the best of health, and while at the
dinner table was stricken with paraly-
sis.
She is survived by the following chill
dren: James NJ. Duncan. John II. Dun
can, william Duncan, and Edward Dun
can, of this city, and Mrs. John Simms,
of Washington.
The much mooted question as to just
how much space a merchant can oc-
cupy on the streets of this city in plac-
ing display cases on the sidewalk, occu-
pied considerable time in police court
this morning, and bids fair to become
the subject of suits in higher courts.
Ber jamin Abramson, a King street mer-
chant, was arraigned at the instance
of Charles B. Marshall, whose store ad-
stated the other was about to place a
large display case on the sidewalk and
that II was situated in such a manner
that II would obscure his own show
windows.
Justice Harry b. Cation recalled a
similar case several years ago, In which
he imposed a small fine, which was
later reversed in corporation court, and
remarked that in view of this precedent
he would be compelled to dismiss the
charge against Abrameon. Immediately
