RAIRoAD SUES

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 23:-A legal battle to decide whether persons who ride on the cars but do not get seats, shall pay fare was begun in the Court of Justice here today, when suit brought by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company against Alten S. Miller, president of the Union Elee- tric Light and Power Company of this city, came up for trial. The rail road seeks to recover from MT. Mil Ter $2.16, the amount of the rail road fare from Philadelphia to Bel mar, N. J.
 On July last according to the statement of the case, MT. Miller bought a ticket from Philadelphia to Belmar, but when he got on the train he found all the seats taken and was forced to stand all the way. He re- fused to surrender the ticket to the conductor, he claims on the ground that he saw no reason for giving it up. as he did not get a seat. The railroad company thereupon institu- ted legal proceedings to recover the amount of the fare. The case is regarded as a test case and doubt less will be carried to the highest courts.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING OF AUTHOR BY HARVARD MAN WHO KILLS SELF
David Graham Phillips Dangerously Hurt by Fitzhugh Goldsborough
 Who Dies a Suicide
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-David Graham Phillips, author, was shot six times, this afternoon, by Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, a Harvard man, who immediately shielded Phillips is at Bellevue hospital, in a critical condition.
 Goldsborough was apparently in- sane over some faneied grudge. He met the author on his way to the Princeton Club, a short distance from the National Arts Club, where he lives.
 "There you go!" said the assail- ant, opening fire on Phillips, "And here I go," he echoed, and sent a bullet crashing through his own brain.
 One of the bullets penetrated Phil lips abdomen, another his right lung, a third shattered his wrist, and a fourth drilled his right thigh. The course of the bullets was so cratic as to cause doubt as regards point of entrance or exit. To the best of belief tonight, of the six, the most dangerous is the wound through the lung. The secondary effects are most to be feared.
 The robust constitution of the patient bore him through the first loss of blood and attendant shock. His first request was that no alarm ing reports be sent out. "My mother is an old lady, and the shock might kill her," he said. CT am young and strong, and may get well. Make the best of it, and I'll try to bear you out.''
 When met by Goldsborough, going in an opposite direction, Phillips had ne opportunity for self-defense. His
