POLICE PROBE
TIE KILLING OF
Soldier By Texas Land
Agent Is Being Investiga-
ted, and a Duel Is One OF
Theories Reached
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Hos Angeles, Dec. 25.-The po1ce
Continued today their investigation of
the killing of Daniel de Villiers, the
loer veteran who was shot here Sun
Gay. by Roy L. Glover, Texas land
agent. while he was attempting to see
the former Mrs. de NillieTs. The point
which occupied the major portion of
police attention was whether de Vii
Iiers died in a duel with Glover or
whether Glover shot an unarmed man.
Glover says he shot in self defense.
An undischarged automatic pistol of
the same type that Glover used was
found beside de Nilliers' body as it
lay in the room where the tragedy oc-
Cured but the police say de Villiers,
who is said to have been a member of
the family of Sir Henry de Viliers of
Cape Colony, was unarmed when he
went to Glover's residence.
The police awaited today some infor-
nation from San Antonia and other
Texas points regarding the marriage
of Glover to Mrs. de Villiers. Glover
told the police and his attorney, LIE
Compte Davis, that he married Mrs.
de Villiers last October, but declined
to say where. de Villiers came here
evidently under the impression that
his former wife, from whom he was
divorced in 1911, had not remarked
and the note he attempted TO send
to her just before he was killed was
addressed to Mrs. de Villiers.
WOMAN IN CASE.
Paterson, N. J.-Dec. 22.-Further
inquiry today into the former life OF
Mrs Roy L. Glover on whom Daniel
de Viiliers went to call before he was
shot to death at Los Angeles yester-
day, revealed that she is the divorced
wife OF Vivian NJ. Lewis, republican
candidate for governor of New Jersey
against Woodrow Wilson in 1910.
be Villiers came to Paterson in 1905
and opened a. riding school. Mrs.
Lewis was one Of his pupils Thev left
Paterson together and were next heard
from in South America It was re-
ported afterwards that de Villier5 had
deserted her She came back to New
York and lived here for a time Mr..
Ievvisssued for divorce and was award
ed the custody Of their two small chill
dren which she left behind.
Mr.. Lewis IS former commissioner
of banking and insurance In New Jer-
sey and was one of the republican
state leaders. ecently he was appoint
ed Vice Chancellor.

WHERE snow HELP

In very many Of the cases in which
a fall Of snow makes work for those
otherwise unemployed it makes work,
not Of a constructive kind. but be-
cause it il a nuisance which must be
removed. The snow that falls on the
sidewalk, for instance, does nobody
any good. It is in the way. and must
be removed. hence somebody must be
employed to do the work. But when
the walks have been cleared the COM
munity is III further ahead than IL no
snow had fallen. Labor has been put
forth to repair a damage. The only
purpose served in such a case is to
transfer money from the pocket of
the property owner, who is presumed
to have 1t, to that of the laborer who
ls presumed to need it. That is good
for the laboring man, and it does not
hurt the property n very much,
but there is just as much money in
the town after as before the transact
