After firing six bullets into the help

vicious looking Colt magazine revolver
upon himself and sent bullet plow-

Goldsborough fell dead to the side

Princeton club and then to Bellevue

he might recover. MOL of the six
bullets, the surgeons thought. had

The motive for the shooting or

through remark Goldsborough made
to DR.. George Maurer. who had treat
ed the violinist. To the physician
Goldsborough went six months ago
when i'll with stomach trouble. The
physician saw him last three weeks
ago. At that time Goldsborough de-
clared with bitterness:
There Is an author who has writ

family to Washington. do not like It,
Doctor Maurer gave no heed TO
what Goldsborough told him, and only
adverted to it as a possible motive
for the shooting of Phillips.
Goldsborough came of a family of
some prominence in Washington. His

daughters Doctor Goldsborough told
a reporter at Washington that he was
utterly at a loss to account for his

SUMMON 125 IN VOTE PROBE
DANVlLLE GRAND JURY SENDG
OUT SUsPOENAEs.
Scurryins for Legal Advice-Judge
May Be Hit.

Danville, Ill.-One Hundred and
twenty-five subpoenaes for Vermil-
ion county politicians were issued
by the vote-fraud grand jury directly
after six of the wealthiest bankers Of
Danville had appeared before the in
quisitorial body.
1t was the initial broadside in the
county's fight to purify the ballot and
the bare rumor that the jury fore
man, Isaac Woodward, was signing
the official documents spread deepest
CONSERVATION. When the wholesale
subpoena rumOr was verified there
was wild scurrying for attorneys and
legal advice on the part of many.
The subpoenaes issued followed
long day of grand jury session at
which six of Danvilles wealthiest
bankers told the story of the downfall
of Former County Treasurer Hardy
H. Whitlock through extravagant vote
buying. E. X. Leseure, son-in-law of
Joseph G. Cannon, president of the
Danville National bank, was given the
longest gruelling before the grand
jury.
1t develops that Isaac Woodward,
foreman of the grand jury, has con-
suited several attorneys with refer
ence to indicting buyers and sellers
Of votes for criminal conspiracy, and
it is predicted that a real sensation is
in store for those who have expected
merely a perfunctory arraignment and
the assessment of nominal fines
aginst offenders.
Under the law covering vote selling
the seller cannot be prosecuted after
the expiration of IS months, but, &C.
cording to the opinions of various law
yers consulted by Mr.. Woodward, he
can go back three years under the
criminal conspiracy act. The law
states that when a candidate is cleo
ted by fraud there has been criminal
conspiracy and the grand jury will
endeavor to bring indictments under
the law, it is said.
If the grand jury goes back three
years it will be compelled to investi-
gate the election Of Mayor Plat. Judge

jury in the vote-selling inquiry,

Quoting the investigation, and numer,

To FORT|FY CANAL
TAFT IN SPEECH DECLARES PAN
ANA CUT MUST DEFEND
ITSELF.
HOPES FOR s5,OOO,O0O SOON
President Declares Americas Right Is
IncontestabIe and Policy Is Defend
ed-Estimates Cost at $4,000, 1000
War Still Is Possibility.

New York.-President Taft, in
speech Stature day night at the annual
banquet of the Pennsylvania society in
this city, opened an active ampalgn
for the fortificatiOn of the Panama
canal by the United States. He de-
clared that the right of this country
to accomplish that result was lncon-
testable and defended such policy.
The president believes that the pres
ent session of congress will approprl-
ate 100000 to begin the work.
In the senate, the president has been
told, the sentiment for fertilization is
almost two to one. The house seems
pretty evenly divided, but not along
partisan lines. Most of the members
appear to have an open mind, however,
President Taft will bring all of his
influence to bear IN favor of fortlhca-
ton. In his speech he said that there
were absolutely no treaty obligations
in the way of fortifying the canal; that
the United States had every right and
reason to protect what was purely an
American waterway.
The president said he yielded to no
man in his love of peace and hatred 10
the senate arbitration treaties OF
broader nation than had ever come
before that body or any other leglsia-
tive body of the world. At the same
time Mr.. Taft cautioned his hearers
that universal peace was still a long
way off and he could not conceive OF
any patriotic American being Wiling
to allow an attacking force free and
equal use of waterway which was
built by americans largely as an In
strument for the defense of their coun-
try.
The president quoted from diplomat
ic history to prove his position unas-
sailable, and said:
IF we have to retain a part OF our
navy to defend the canal on both sloes'
then the canal becomes a burden and
not an instrument for our defense. 1t
ought to defend itself, and we should
have Notifications there powerful
enough to keep off the navles OF any
nations that might possibly attack us.
The estimated cost of the fortltlca-
ton. the president declared, is $l2,OO0,-
900. hardly more than two per cent.
Of the cost of the canal, and first pre-
MUM for insuring its safety that IS
not excessive"
War is still a possibility said the
president, and a president, senator or
congressman who ignores it as some
thing against which proper precautlon
should be taken subjects himself to
lust criticism and condemnation.

OF JURY BRIBING
Attorney Erbstein, Who Defended Lee
O'NeiI Browne, Is Found "Not
Guilty" of Charge.

Chicago.-Attorney Charles E. Erb,
stein was acquitted of the charge
of having bribed a juror in his
efforts to prove Lee ONeil Browne,
former minority leader of the legisla-
ture. not guilty of purchasing votes
The close of the Erbstein case brings
to an end one of the angles growing
out of charges of legislative coTup,
ton. Charges of jury bribing began
to appear before the first trial OF
Browne was fairly started, and during
the second trial, when Erbstein was
chief counsel, the grand jury made
daily Investigations of new charges.
Shortly after the close of the trial in
which Browne was acquitted, Grant
McCutchen, one of the Browne jurors,
told that he sold his vote to ErbsteiD
through a friend.
