David Graham Phillips, the editor
and publicist who was shot IN New
York city last Monday by Fitzhugh c
Goldsborough, died Tuesday night a.
II o'clock. Six of the bullets that were
fired by the assassin took effect anc
went through the body of the unfortu'
nate man. So far no good reason has
been given for the murder. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Goldsborough was
a lunatic and that he had conceived
murderous antipathy against Phillips
altogether because of the writings OF
the dead man, writings in which Colds
borough had not even been dreamed
of.
Representative Norris of Nebraska
the insurgent leader, and Representa-
tive Burke of Pennsylvania, clashed II
the house Wednesday during debate or
the raising of salaries of Federal cir
cult Judges. Mr.. Norris said that &c
increase the pay of these judges woulo
have the effect of elevating them TO
higher strata of society with the re-
sultant tendency to forget human
rights and human liberties" A high
salary. he said, would attract men tc
iudgeships merely for the money. Mr.
Burke said he deplored such an argu-
ment as that advanced by Mr.. Norris
There has been too much Of that kind
of doctrine preached to the American
people," he declared. And it ought to
stop. We voted to raise our salaries as
congressman s2.500 a year. Is there
any man here willing to say that that
increase has made us forget human
rights and human liberties?" Repre-
sentative Bennett of New York, pro-
posed to raise the circuit salaries from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year, but announced
that he was willing to accept an
amendment offered by Representative
Mann of Illinois, to fix the amount al
$500, but this was defeated by a vote
of 124 to 152. The Bennett amendment
fixing the salaries at $4,000, was de-
feated, so to 21S.
Atlanta, Ca, January 25: Clifford
L. Anderson, law partner of Thomas B.
Fielder, in the latters absence from At
lanta, today made a statement in ref
erence to the Associated Press dispatch
from Columbia, in which Gov. Blease
is quoted as inquiring why Fielder was
not prosecuted when it was found that
he was the attorney for liquor house
and was favored with liquor purchases
and rebates were paid for these pur-
chases." The statement is as follows;
"Since the Goodman and Fleischmann
COMPROMISES referred to were also
made under the advice and. through the
instrumentality of Mr.. Fielder, assume
that the governors reference to these
matters and demand that they be m
quired into, is likewise an attempt To
reflect upon Mr.. Fielder. Throughout
the entire course of the investigation OF
the South Carolina state dispensary
and the disposition of the matters con-
nected Herewith by the winding-uI
commission, 1 have been closely asso-
ciated with Mr.. Fielder, and am IA
miliar with all the facts connected
Herewith. Mr.. Fielder is out of the
city, and in his behalf desire to say
that the charges and insinuations con-
tanned in the governors message, which
refer to Mr.. Fielder, are absolutely un-
true and without foundation in fact. II
Gov. Blease has been informed by any
persons that there are existing facts
giving foundation to these charges ne
has been wilfully misled by designing
persons, who probably have felt the
weight of the law, growing out of theii
own nefarious transactions with the
state dispensary, and seek this method
of revenge"
-Danville H., January %: The de-
velopments in the vote buying scanda
here threatens to loom larger thar
those recently in the expose at Adams
county, Ohio, where almost the whole
male population was discovered tt
have been corrupted. The fact tha
Danville is the home of Speaker JOSEPH
G.. Cannon lends additional interest t(
the proceedings here. When ii became
known that wo-thirds of the granC
Jury were behind Foreman Isaac
Woodward in demanding a rigid in
vestigation of the traffic in votes tina
has been a matter of public scanda
for years in Danville, those politician:
and precinct workers who were inclin'
ed at first to scoff at the general de-
mand for a cleaning up began to b'
worried. Hurried meetings were helt
between politicians and those employ
ed by them in the last three election:
to discuss defensive plans. The grant
jury, it was discovered, would issue
summonses for every politician an(
worker known to have been engaged il
procuring votes at the recent elections
1t is stated that some of the most ac
tive political workers have forestalleC
possible action by the grand jury by
taking hurried trips across the Indiana
line, only five miles east of this city
Although considerable money wa
spent at the November election, {
much greater amount was used in th'
primary last summer, especially in th'
fight for sheriff between John P. Shep

J. c. Morehouse. The real fight wa'
between Shepard and Whitlock, and i
was the large expenditures made b!
