Six Bullets Took Effect, the Most Danger— ous Wound Being Through Right Lung DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS DYING In Bellevue Hospital—Editor, Publicist and Novelist Attacked by Fitzhugh Fired the Seventh Bullet of an Automiatic Pistol In- to His Own Brain, Dying Instantly—Cause of the Affair Unknown—Daylight Tragedy in One of the Aristocratic Sections of Old-Fashioned New York. e New York, Jan. 23.—David Graham Phillips, editor, publicist and novelist, was shot six times today as he ap- roached the Princeton club, by Fitz- ugh Coyle Goldsborough, a former Harvard man, who hmmediately after commitied suicide. Shooter Apparently Insane. Tonight Phillips is at Bellevue hos- pital in an extremely critical condi- tion, but, as relatives hopefully express it, “with a chance for life.” The body of Goldsborough, whose career at Har- vard was brief, lies in the morgue. Apparently insane, he had a fancied rudge against the author and sought iis life. He was only 31 years old; Phillips is 43. Used 10-Shot Automatic Pistol. “There you go!” snapped the assas- sin, as he opened fire, and “Here I go!" he echoed, as he sent a bullet into. his own brain. He used a ten- whot, 32-calibre, automatic pistol, and effect. One of them perforated the abdomen; another pierced the right Jung and came out at the back: a third shattered the left wrist and a fourth drilled the right thigh. Two of | them dropped from the wounded man’s clothing as he was being undressed at the hospital. Errat Course of Bullets. The course of the bullets was s=o erratic and there Was such doubt ae to just which wounds were points of entrance and which polnts of exit that the surgeons were uncertain whether he bad been shot four, five or six times but their best belief tonight was six. ‘The most dangerous wound is thought to be that through the lung, septicae- mia or pneumonia are the two second- ary effects most feared. 'he robust constitution of the patient bore him through the loss of blood and shock surprisingly well, and his first request to his physicians was that no alarming be given out.

He was a violinist and gave les- son: I am told that he had boeen writing begging letters to Mr. Phillips. ‘We knew nothing of that. Goldsborough Had a Grievance. Harrison Phillips, David Graham’s younger brother, said that Goldsbor- ough had been bothering David with letters and telephone calls to the Princeton club for a month or six weeks, but that his brother had mever been able to learn what the man’s grievance was. He thought perhaps they met at some gocialistic gathering and that Golds- borough insisted Phillips ought to “do something for the cause.” Mrs. Caroline Fervert, Phillips’ sis- ter, who livent with him at the Natjonal Arts elub, thought her brother Harri- son must be mistaken.

CANAL FORTIFICATION - 1S DESIRABLE In the Opinion of the General Board of the the Navy. ‘Washington, Inn. 23.~—Fortification e Panama canal is desirable in the oplnbn of the general board of the navy, of which Admiral George Dewey president. This board was uked _for an opinion on the subject in reply said in part. T T SR cation at the of :h. isthmian canal would be invalua- ble assisting the transfer of a United States fleet fyom one ocean te the other, through the canal in the face of an opposing fleet. The func- tion of the fortifications in this par- ticulgr is precisely the same at the termini as it is at any fortified place from which a flest may have to issue in the face of an enemy’s fleet.” It was because of a recent magazine Rear Admiral Evans, re- tired, in which it was said that no amount.of fortifying the Panama ca- nal would render it of real value for the passage of a fleet of war vessels from one ocean to the other after war had been declared or when war was known to be inevitable, and also because similar statements were made on the floor of the house of repre- sentatives that the general board was asked for its opinion in the matter. YONKERB WOULD BE PART OF NEW YORK CITY. Annexation of Yonkers Would Make New York Population 4,846,686. New York, Jan. 23.—Yonkers, a city of nearly 80,000, wants to become & part of New York city.

The Princeton club, formerly the home of the late Stanford White, fronts on Gramercy park, and at two o'clock of & beautiful bright afternoon, Phillips, who lives nearby at the National Arts club, was sauntering through the sun- shine for an hour of leisure with his friends. A policeman on post stood not a hundred yard: ;ul the club ax hillips was seen approaching it. ‘The Shooting. Nobody saw anything to attract at- tention in the well-dressed Goldsbor- Iking in the opposita direction from Phillips. There was no argument as they met, no quarrel, no opportunity for self defense. The shiny barrel of (hu pistol glinted in the sunshine, ze of powder spat from the mull and the patter of the shots punctuated the air almost with the rapidity of a broken voll Phillips ataggered, but did not fall.

At the same time three members of the club —Newton James, Frank Davis and Frederick Evans—rushed down tho steps and carried Phillips into the bouse.

Evidence of Mrs. Jane Hedges Ruled Ou&—Argumlnh Begin. Wheeling, W. Vt., Jl.n 25.—The end of the trial of Laura Farnsworth Schenit on a charge of administering lead pofson and arsenic to her hus. band, John O. Schenk, is now in sight, afternoon at 3.15. It is expected that the case of the accused will be in the hands of the jury not Jater than Wed- nesday moon. The attorneys are not limited as to time in their arguments, and as each side has three speeches another day and a half will be requir- e Apparently the greatest blow. yet sustained Dy the defense was struck morning. when, on motlon of Prosecuting Attorney Handlan, the ev- idence of Mrs. Jane Hedges was ruled out. It was this witness who testified that Albert Schenir said he would “leave no stone umturned to rid the family of John O. Schenk's wife.” The defense played its trump card in Mrs. Hedges, reiying upon her to prove their contention that members of the Sohenk family had conspired against the woman who is fighting for her Lib- erty. The evidence ziven by Mre Hedges a8 ruled out on the €round that = ert act sugzestive of a conspirac; had been attributed to Albert Scheni or other relatives. The defense object- | e strenuously to having the testimony stricken from the records, but Judge Jordan was firm in his ruling. The state immediately after the ex- clusion of Mrs. Hedges' testimony an- nounced that they would close their case, taking counsel for defense and very one else by surprise, as it had ‘been anticipated that a number of wit- nesses would be put on in and One of the members of the Princeton club salc that when Phillips was asked who shot him he answered “I don’t know David Graham Phillipe’ Career.

The report urges that during the coming year strong efforts be mada to secure a more widespread cessa- tion from work on Sunday, particulatly among drug clerks, trainmen, longs shoremen and sailors, steel mill em- ployes and newspaper workers, The treasurer’s report showed expen- ditures during the year of about $9,000, the largest in its history.

Albany, Jan. 23—With all but five pembers of tha legislature present and voting, the sixth joint ballot for United States senator was taken today_ and showed William F. Sheehan, the Mur- phy caucus candidate, 13 votes short of the majority necessary to elect him. As there was onz pair still effective, however, his net loss for the ballot was only one. This one was represented by Senator Frank M. Loomis of Erie county, who in accordance with the promise con- tained in his statement of Saturday broks away from the caucus, which he has hitherto respected. He cast his vote for Morgan J. O'Brien, ex-justice of the supreme court. No Talk of Compromise Candidates. A singular festure of the situation is the almost complete absence of talk about compromise candidates. The same list of names shows on the daily ‘ballot, but no aspirant has made any noticeable gains. Mr. Sheehan's total today was 86, compared with 90 the day the first ballot was taken, but not counting individual supporters of his who at various times haye been ab- sent his aggregate loss since that time is only three votes, Fdward M. Shep- ard polled 18 today, just the same as on the first ballot. The legislators sgem to be convinced that Alton B. Parker meant what he said when he said that he was not in the race and his vote, originally seven, declined to- day to one. Various Rumors. The prolongation of the contest has given rise to various rumors, but at no time have these attained the digni- ty of open charges. It was learned that the insurgents have agreed that if any one of them experiences any financial inconvenience or pressure as the result of his stand the rest will assist him. Sheehan Deniés a Report. Mr. Sheehan has not uttered a word for publication except that today he denied a report that he conferred with Thomas F. Ryan and other powerful financiers before he left New York. This rumor was traced t Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt, the “insurgent™ leader, who said he was eliably in- formed” to that effect last night. PROTEST AGAINST THE' RELEASE ON PAROLE Of Capt.

Carey of Bridgeport, a mason, aged 35. A widow and several children sur- vive him. The uniform demurrage rules were not accepted by the New England lines as @ whole because of the peculiar condi- tions existing in that territory. A few years ago the Boston & Maine gave ten days’ free time on shipments of cotton, but recently the free time was reduced to five days. Now the rdad has decided that it further will re- duce the free time to 48 hours, in ac- cordance with the demurrage regula- tions, Fundamental Diffloulty. The difficulty with which all of the New England lines have been laboring is fundamental. Cotton is shipped from -some point in the south to ® consignee in New England bearing a cabalistic address or mark. The ad- dress may be marred or aboslutely destroyed en route. The bale of cot- ton can be identified only by.its qual- signment of pictures and statues in the ity and even that identification cannot | ity vesterday xetoed for o second time be relied upon.

Mean- time, as prices fluctuate, the coétton may become more valuable, valuable, as the case may be, and either the buyer or the seller is in the throes of financial trouble.
