BOSTON, Sept 1.-The death toll in lawlessness following the calling of Bostons police strike Tuesday reached five tonight when Henry Groat, 20 years old, was shot and instantly killed during raid by state guards men on a dice game in the Jamaica Plains section. Two other men were wounded in the raid.
 The shooting occurred after some of the players and spectators had re- fused to leave the Jamaica Plains sec tion. They were ordered to move on, and when they failed to budge the guardsmen fired.
 With Governor Coolidge as com mander- in chief of the states forces, in complete charge of the situation, the city tonight took on war-like appearance Six machine guns were mounted at police headquarters and troopers wearing ''tin hats" by order of Adjutant General Stevens, patrolied the streets. The order followed injury of several soldiers by flying missiles.
 Meanwhile shopkeepers, supplement- ing police and military protection by means of their own, barricaded the windows of their places of business to withstand siege. Boards were nailed in front of the glass to protect it from the assault of bands of hoodlums who have been roaming the streets.

 The possibility of strike of car men, telephone and electrical workers and industrial employees was serious What gave the authorities the great est cause for anxiety however, was the danger that the firemen might join in the movement.
 Ii was recognized that this would place the city in the graveSt peril. A rap of hope was seen in the declara tion of the president of the firemen's union that he would not take the re- sponsibility for a strike unless author ized by the American Federation oi Labor
 Governor Coolidg in taking personal charge of the policing of the city pointed out that his obligations under the constitution compelled him to take this step, in view of the fact that the entire state guard had been called out for police duty. He directed Police Commissioner Curtis to obey only such orders as came from him and asked for the cooperation of the public
