PHILLIPS DIES
OF HIS WOUNDS
Author Passes Away During {
Coughing Spell.
ATTACKER HAD DELUSI0AS
GoldsborouSh Held Enn1ity Towards
Author Because Novel Contained
Characters Taken From His Family

David Graham Phillips, the novelist
who was shot six times on Monday al
ternoon by Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsbor
ou6h ii GraA.iierly paih. died at the
Bellevue hospital in New York.
Mr.. Philips had been vomiting
blood during the day, which symptom
told tie physicians that the perfora
ton i'll the lung caused by a bullet
which had entered the right chest and
had passed out of the body near the
LETT shoulder blade, was not healing.
DR.. Eugene Fuller, Mr.. Phillips per
sonal physician, gave the patient what
relief he could, but the patients con
dition became especially alarming The
excessive pain of his abdominal wound
during the day, the constant leakage
of blood into the throat from his lung
and intestinal sufferings following the
administering of ether on Monday, had
worn the novelist out During severe
spell of coughing he died.
At his bedside were Mrs. Frevert,
his sister; Mir. Harrison Phillips and
DIR. Fuller.
Senator 3everidge, who roomed with
David Graham Phillips at Depau uni
versity, had been at his bedside dur
ing the day, arriving from Washing
ton, but he was compelled to leave
for Washington again shortly after
wards.
Many magazine writer's, novellsts
and artists visited the hospital, but
none of the callers except Senator
Beveridge were permitted to visit the
patients room. Many of the visitors
and others had sent floral gifts, and
after they learned of the death of Mr.
Phillips these were arranged about
his bier.
More evidence showing that Colds
borough held enmity toward Mr.. Phil
lips was learned, but at best no one
seemed able to piece enough of this
evidence together to show why Colds
borough should have gone to the ex
IRENE of shooting Phillips or, for that
matter, why Goldsborough, unless his
brain were normal, should hold any
enmity at all.
Stories that the vioiinist shot the
novelist because Mr.. Phillips had writ
ten a novel in which characters in one
of his books, which Goldsborough
thought were taken from Gold or
oughs own family in Washingtar
where MIR Phillips lived for sha.'
while, were repeated to Harrison Psi
lips, and he was asked whether or net

Flies to Ship and Back to Shore.


Eugent B Ely accomplished a great
feat of aviation when he flew twelve
miles from shore to the deck of the
cruiser Pennsylvania, anchored in San
Francisco bay, made perfect landing
on the warship, and after turning
about his machine launched it in the
air again ard flew back to the start
ing point.
The double flight occupied only an
hour and a half. The greater part OF
that time was consumed on the cruiser
in preparing for the return flight.
Ely, who is native son and one OF
the Curtiss school of aviators, took
the air from Selfridge field, where the
Thirtieth infantry was encamped for
the occasion. He got off without a
hitch and sped the distance of twelve
miies across the bay in sixteen min
utes.

mist and swept up the bay like an

the publishers of the book had H..
sent out press notices at the time the
book was published to the effect that
some one had objected to the novel on
the score that it caricatured members
of certain family.
Harrison Phillips replied that he re-
membered that notices of this charac-
ter had been sent out when the book
left the press. He was asked whether
he thought these notices were merely
the work of the publishers publicity
department or founded on fact. He
said that so far as he remembered they
were founded ON fact. He said, how
ever, that neither he nor his brother
nor sister knew the Goldsborough
family.
1t was learned also that almost a
rear ago Goldsborough went to the
-ty hall to complain to Mayor Gaynor
about persons annoying him During
this visit the violinist mentioned to
the mayors secretary, Mr.. Adamson,

had taken nothing but the contents
of the closet. A hurried cali was sent
to the police. Thirty-three detectives,
under the personal supervision of the
superintendent, are working on the
case, while score or more of plain
