iaD- Friends of Representative
Dawson in congress seem determined
that he has to remain in public life in
some capacity rather than to become
q bank president. They hail with de.
light the suggestion which has been
made that the president is seriously
considering the Iowan for the position
Of private secretary. Whilo Dawson
himself claims not to have the slight
est inkling as to what may be on the
presidents mind in regard to his next
secretary, he said this morning that he
is having some trouble in preventing
some of his jealous friends from
organizing and going to Mr.. Taft in a
body.
Members of congress who have
known Albert Dawson for years claim
he would make an ideal secretary hav-
ing the three most essential at
tributes which to their minds would
make him a success as secretary
thorough political knowledge and
sagacity, wide acquaintance with pub
lie men, especially among members OF
congress, and full knowledge of cons
gressional procedure, and last but not
entirely least, man who has wide
acquaintance with newspaper men
and who is very popular among them.

Representative Kendall this morn

poses to increase the salaries OF

Kendall pointed out that in view of
the fact that, these positions are for
life with retirement for long service

he deemed adequate and should not be
changed While his remarks We're nee

DIES
OF HIS WOUNDS
AUTHOR LOSES GALLANT FIGHT
FOR LIFE IN NEW YORK
HOSPITAL.

New York, Jan. 25.--The fun
eraI Of David Graham Phillips,
who died in Bellevue hospital last
night from the effects of an assas-
sims bullets, will be held In the
Protestant Episcopal Church OF
the TRANSPORTATION, affectionately
known to many as the Little
Church Around the Corner" Ar
ranqennents for the burial etc. are
all in the hands of Senator Bever-
idqe, who was one Of the writer's
most intimate friends. The body
Of Goldsborough, who shot Phil
lips and then committed suicide,
was taken to Washington where
it will be buried tomorrow.
New York; Jan. 25.-David Graham
Phillips has lost his brave fight foi
life. He died in Bellevue hospital late
last night, victim of Fitzhugh Coyle
Goldsborough, an eccentric and emo
tional musician, who, although OF re
fined tastes and aristocratic southern
stock. shot the novelist down Monday
for a fancied grudge, then killed MIN
self.
Phillips fought valiantly to live, but
six bullet holes were too much even
for his grit and sturdy constitution
and as IL O'clock came and passed ne
died.
The body of the eccentric Golds'
borough was still at an Undertaken )
establishment last night. 1t was saio
that relatives had arrived from WASH
ington during the day to arrange LOT
taking it home, but their plans were
not known late last night.
The assailant's real motive IS as
much a mystery as ever, although the
theory generally accepted here is that
he pictured himself and family as
depicted unfavorably in one OF the
authors novels.
There is no doubt on this score, how
ever. for there we're found yesterday
afternoon at his lodgings what appear
to be pages from Goldsborough's diary.
In these he bitterly resents what he
styles Phillips ungallant picture Oh
the American WOfldu aS uio" "
some of his writings.
If these pages prove to be genuine
IL would seem that the young musician
resented not what he considered an at
tack on his family but rather sought
to vindicate American women as
whole. At any rate. the obsession
grew until he shot the man he hated
and sacrificed his own life.
Had Talked of Phillips.
Robert Adamson, secretary to the
mayor, said that Goldsborough had
called upon him at the mayors office
about year ago "He told me-" said
Adamson, 'that he was being shadow
ed without cause. by two private
detectives, who occasionally amused
themselves by throwing stones at him
through window.
81 told him to go away and If the
were continued 10 call in
The police.
"Goldsborough did not appear to be a
violent maniac. He told me that he
came from a distinguished family and
hat David Graham Phillips had writ
zen novel about his family. He
seemed rather pleased about the
distinction of it. He was well dressed
wearing frock coat and high hat"
