Los Angeles Man Murdered by
Pretty Viola Carver, of
Tacoma, Wash.
SUICIDE IS FRUSTRATED
Attack Sequel to Girl's IMsooverj
That Musician-Realty Iealer Did
Not Care lo Marry HerJeal
ousy Is . Held Motive.
LOS ANUKI.K3. March 12. Miss Vi
ola Carver, of Tacoma. Wash., pretty
and IS years old. was Jailed last night,
charged with the murder of J. Kd
ward Kdge a young musician and real
estate dealer, whom she shot In the
corridor of the Consolidated Realty
building yesterday. Jealousy, the police
said, waa the cause for the crime.
Miss Carver came to Los Angeles
from Tacoma several months ago and
worked as clerk in a wholesale and
retail music house. Through frequent
visits of Edge to the store he became
acquainted with Miss Carver.
Last week, friends of Mr. Edge said,
he became aware that the acquaint
ance he had formed with Miss Carver
waa being taken too seriously by her,
and he told her that he did not care
for her.
t.lrl la leswaraat.
From that time Miss Carver became
morose and downcast. YesterdHy she
did not come to work. Instead, the po
lice say, she purchased a revolver and
went to the building where Edge had
his office.
About 5 o'clock Edge appeared In the
corridor on hia way to the elevator.
As he stepped1 from the door of his
office, she shot and Edge fell dead, a
bullet through his forehead.
K. B. Freeman, partner of Mr. Edge,
wrenched the revolver from the wo
man's grasp as she was pointing the
weapon to her own head.
W emaa Tries Suicide.
"Oh. don't." she cried, "don't stop
me, let me finish It; I want to kill
myself. I must end it all."
Freeman held the frensled girl until
the police arrived. She begged to be
allowed to kill herself. As the body
of Edge wss taken away Miss Carver
became hysterical and It required two
men. to. restrain her. - Phe was- placed
In a patrol wagon and taken to the
central station. --
Friends of Kdge said that Mlsa Car
ver had absolutely no basis for her
jealousy, as Edge had no other woman
friend and simply wished to be free.
Edge was 23 years old and well known
In local amateur miuh-al circles.

the brush of a Gustavo Dore could do
justice to the hideous picture the

BRITISH MINERS CONFER
Worker and Operators ! Meet at
Premier Aequith's Round Table.
LONDON. Mirrh 12. The National
Miners' Federation unanimously dec;oc .
to accept the Prime Minister's Invita
tion to meet roal owners and repre
sentatives of the government at a round
table conference tomorrow. Premier
Asqultli will preside.
The acceptance mas coupled witli a
reservation that the prlacip.t of a
IHI1
minimum wage be excluded from aa
cussion. It is understood this means
that granting of a minimum wsge will
be assumed to have Jeen conceded but
It doea not imply that the schedule of
minimum ratea drawn no by the Miners'
Federation will not be discussed. Ths
cosl owners have not yet accepted th-
Premier's nvltotlon but It la thought
probable owners will accept. Tha
miners' representatives are not author
ized to agree to any reduction of the
Federation's schedule of rates, nor ta
any scheme determining the rates
without a new ballot of the miners,
ftettleaseat Baala Songbt.
Therefore a settlement of the strike
at the Joint conference can be attained
only If the owners agree to accept ;ho
miners' schedule, which is improbable.
The most hoped for as the outeom
of the conference is that some basis of
agreement will be reached for flx'nil
a minimum rate which will be submit
ted to a ballot of the miners. That the
strike will continue at least another
week is regarded as inevitable.
At present almost he entire nation la
under notice to quit work. Including
tH miners Ih... mwm nrfltl. Kl flK.rlV
I 2.000.000 persons already Idle and
should the strike be prolonged through
out next week, perhaps half of Great
Britain's workers will be unemployed.
Distress la Widespread.
The distress Is widespread now and
the drain on funds Is so great that
some of the union already are show
ing distress signals. Courts are re
fusing to grant Judgments and sum
monses on the ground that thd common
necessaries of life are beyond the reach
of many of the people.
For the rapidly dwindling storks of
coal on hand In North Wales an ad
vance In price of from 75 to 100 per
cent was demanded today, and this
fact necessitated the closing of prac
tically every factory and quarry In that
part of the country. In other portions
of the United Kingdom conditions were
almost as bad.
Shipments of coal from the ports of
South Wales last week amounted only
to 20.000 tons, compared with the usual
total of 400,000 tons per week.
Two of the largest paper mills in the
Midland Counties ceased work today.
All employes were discharge. From
every other point throughout the coun
try reports reached London that work
Was being stopped.

BROTHERHOOD- PLANS WAR
Campaign to Be Waged Against
Kvils Canscd by Disease.
Steps were taken at the meeting last
night of Centenary Chapter, Method
ist Brotherhood, for an organized war
fare against the evils ol disease result
ing from social vice.
A committee was appointed to formu
late a plan of campaign for the Broth
erhood, and this committee was given
wide latitude. It is probable that as
a result of this move, an appeal may
be made to all other chapters of the
Methodist Brotherhood in the city, and
to similar organizations' in other de
nominations, for concerted effort to
combat the evils mentioned.
One of the subjects to be taken up
first will be the pledging of candidates
for the Legislature, that they will sup
port a law for physical examination for
all applicants for marriage license.
Another theme will be the better
education of children In the public
schools along the lines of social purity
and hygiene. '
President H. L. Norman, of the
Brotherhood. P.ev. Delmer H. Trimble
and C. B. Walker were appointed as
th committee. The action was taken
as the result of an address by Chief of
Police Slover regarding "The Red
Plague." in which the Chief thoroughly
aroused his hearers. Following his
address there wa,s a diacussion that
was almost as warm as the speech, and
the appoointment of the committee was
the final outcome .
