Manager of Washington Declares Tha
Philips Victim Said He Wanted
No One Arrested

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1.-Sev-
eral character witnesses were on hand to
testify when the trial of Castor Philip,
the clubman charged with the murder of
Frank Macaboy, Il cab driver, at the
Arlington hotel i'll this city more than Il
year ago, was resumed i'll criminal court
today.
The witnesses during the forenoon SEES
sion of the court were cabmen, policemen
and other acquaintance of Macaboy. All
Of them testified that the dead cabman
bore the reputation of being a fighting
man; that if everything did not go his
way he was quick to pick a quarrel and
that he was known as man who would
take an unfair advantage of another.
Peter Taylor, manager of the Airing
ton, told of a conversation he had with
Macaboy as the latter lay in the hotel
after being shot. He testified that Maca-
boy at first said that Philip did not shoot
him, but later admitted that lie did. Wit
ness said that Macaboy told him he did
not want Philip prosecuted.
The defense offered as evidence pair
of dice found on Macaboy's person after
his removal to hospital.

TO RESTORE HIS SIGHT,
Operation Is Planned for T. P. Gore
the Blind Senator Who Helped
La Toilette

WASHINGTON D. c., June IAN
operation of considerable delicacy is to
be performed on Thomas T. Gore, the
blind senator from Oklahoma, in the
hope of restoring at least partial sight
to one of his eyes. Senator Gore, accom-
panied by his wife, will go to New York
this week and submit to an opera ton
which has been contemplated for some
time.
An eminent eye specialist there believes
it possibly may result in improvement
of the organ to the extent that the sena-
tor may dimly distinguish objects.
Considerable interest was aroused by
Senator Gore in his twO-hOur speech
Saturday afternoon during the course of
the La Toilette tllibuster.t He handled
papers. helped himself to drinks of wa
ter from the lumber on his desk and 9th
erwise comported himself as man pos
seSsed OF perfect sight.

Chippewa Falls Man Goes Over En-
bankment-EsCape Unhurt.

CHIPPEWA FAILS, Wis, June 1
Especial. l-Olaf Enger had mracu-
lous escape from death in going in an
automobile over sixty foot embankment
into Duncan creek. He escaped with
out bruises although the machine was
badly damaged. He was going up hill
when the machine became unmana geable
and backed to the side of the road over
the embankment. The fact that the ma
chine was going backwards kept Engel
close to the cushions, and probably saved
his life. The water in the creek was
eight feet deep.
