MRS. sCHENk IN JURYs HANDS.
Woman CoIIapses Completely During
Final Scenes of Trial.

Wheeling, w. Va, jan 26.-After
wrestling more than four hours with
the evidence in the case of Mrs. Laura
FarnsWOrth Schenk, charged with pois-
oning her husband, John O. Schenk,
the jury was unable to reach an agree
ment and at 10 o'clock Judge Jordon
ordered the members sent to their
hotel, to be locked up for the night
Predictions of disagreement are gen.
eral, though some believe a verdict
will be reached.
After the jury had been excused for
the night, large crowd packed the
street and sidewalks near the court
house. A squad of police and all the
available deputy sheriffs had to be
called upon to clear the streets before
the jury was taken out of the court
house.
to their hotel, while many more flank
ed the line of deputies at either side
of the jurors. Many women were in
the crowd
Just five minutes after Prosecutor
Handlan finished his argument and as
the jury was retiring, Mrs. Schenk
collapsed and was assisted from the
courtroom between her attorney, ]. J.
P. O'Brien, and Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Kelley. Her face was swollen and dis
torted almost beyond recognition by
a day of constant sObbing.
Defendant ColIapses.
Mrs. Schenk gave way before the
rain Of bitter invective from Prosecu-
tor Handlan. The accused woman fell
heavily forward on the table early in
his address. Shaken by her sobs, she
presented a pitiable spectacle.
Mr.. Handlan asked the jury to show
no mercy to woman who deliberate
ly had violated her marriage vows and
had then plotted to kill by poison the
husband who had lavished upon her
automobiles, costly clothing and jew
els
Her heart is flint" he shouted.
Incapable of sympathy, or love or af-
lection, gentlemen, you know this
woman is guilty as hell itself, and
there is but one place for her.
"One of the most horrible things
it has ever been my lot to come in con-
tact with was when this woman offer
ed another 81 900 to do her vile work
for her-when coldly, calmly, fiendish-
ly she asked the woman whom she
would have made tool to place the
poisoned medicine beside her hus
bands bedside that he might reach out
in the dim light of the sick room in
the night and swallow it himself"

NOTED AMERICAN AUTHOR IS
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED BY
STRANGER ON STREET.
HIS ASSAILANT COMMITS SUICIDE
hugh GoIdsborough, Violin
Teacher-Six Shots
Take Effect.

New York. Jan. 24-David Graham
Phillips, the author, was shot while
on his way from his home to the
Princeton club, by a man believed to
be Fitzhugh C. Goldsborough, a violin
teacher. Mr.. Phillips was taken to
Bellevue hospital, where his condition
was pronounced serious but not crit
ical. His assailant committed suicide
by shooting himself in the head.
The shooting occurred in front of
the club. Six shots were fired at
Phillips by his assailant, who then
used the last bullet in his revolver to
kill himself. Newton James and
Frank Davis, graduates of Princeton in
the class of 1907, were just coming
out of the club when the shooting
took place.
Taken to Bellevue.
Davis and James carried the wound
ed man into the clubhouse. There
was no serious attempt to question
him. Later he was taken to the Belle
vue hospital, where he is resting COM
fortably, although his condition is
serious.
A great crowd assembled on Twen-
ty-first street in the vicinity of the
shooting, where the body of the as
sassin remained where it fell until
the cornorers office had taken action.
From an envelop discovered in the
pocket of the man the police believe
him to be Fitzhugh c. Goldsborough,
a violin teacher, 80 years of age. A
school of socialism is tenant of this
building, and the secretary OF the
school, Algeruch Lee, told the police
that Goldsborough had lived at that
address since November, and that, al
though he knew little about him, he
believed that he came here from
Washington.
At the hospital an examination de-
veloped that all six shots had taken
effect in Phillips body, one just above
the heart, three through the stomach
and two in the leg. Physicians stated
at 4 p. m. that there was no indication
of an immediate crisis in Phillips con-
dition. The surgeons were then in
consultation about him.
Club Owns Stanford White House.
The Princeton club, in front of
which Phillips was shot, occupies the
old Stanford White house at the cor
ner of Lexington avenue, which was
formerly owned by the architect who
was murdered by Harry K. ThaW on
the roof of Madison Square Garden.

ATTEMPT MADE TO INFLUENCE
JOURNAL OF COMMERCE,
OF NEW YORK.
100000 OFFERED FOR ARTICLE
Also Ayers Spanish Government Tried
the Same Tactics.-Indan Appro-
priation Bill
Passed.

Washington, Jan. 26. - Charges of
several attempts to buy the editorial
support of the New York Journal of
Commerce in favor of ship subsidy leg
islation, were made to the house ship
subsidy investigating committee by
Alfred w. Dodsworth, business man
ager of that paper.
Earlier in the day, Paul G. Fournier,
representing the Uranium Steamship
line, told how the railroads, notably
the Central Passenger association at
Chicago, had refused to sell tickets
over the Independent lines without
sanction of the London conference
AS the result of the evidence, Mr..
Dodsworth's brother, John w. Dods-
worth, editor of the Journal of Com
merce, will be recalled to Washington
to testify further. The federal author
tiles may take note of evidence as to
railroads discriminating against the
Independent steamship lines.
Alfred w. Dodsworth testified that
about six years ago an unknown man
came into his Office and offered to pay
the Journal of Commerce 100000 for
the insertion Of an article in one issue
supporting ship subsidy legislation.
This man refused to disclose his iden-
tity unless his proposition was &C
cepted His proposition was to give a
certified check for $4,000 to bind the
agreement and to pay the balance of
$4,000 upon publication of the article.
Mr.. Dodsworth said that about thir-
ty years ago his father was sitting in
his Office of the same publication and
John Roach, the ship builder, who was
active for a ship subsidy bill, entered
the office, laid down blank check and
asked the elder Dodsworth to fill it
out and stop writing against ship sub
sidy.
Another man, about two years ago,
Dodsworth said, tried to buy the sup
port of the paper for $4,000, and dur
ing the Spanish-American war the
Spanish government tried to buy the
papers influence.
Representative Hawley of Oregon
asked how much money was proposed
in the alleged Spanish offer and the
witness said he did not know. His
father was then managing editor
Mr.. Dodsworth said he could not I'M
dertake to name the persons who made
the 100000 offer, but he believed it
came from ship subsidy interests, and
when pressed mentioned the Cramps

The body of F'itZhugh Coyle Colds
borough, the poet-musician who killed
David Graham Phillips, was borne to
the railway station in Jersey City as
the novelist was breathing his last.
The assassin's body was buried in
Washington.
What is regarded as an explanation
for his crime is found in extracts from
his dairy made public by the district
attorney and a statement made by
Goldsborough's uncle, T. H. Powers
Far, of this city.
"Fitzhugh was most courtly in his
ideas about women, and we are of the
opinion he became incensed with Mr..
Phillips because of his treatment of
some of his women and girl characters
in his books. We think he broOded
over this until he began to look upon
Mr.. Phillips as an enemy, and decided
to kill him. We can explain his mad
action in no other way"
AS the final moment approached, the
author realized death was at hand.
II could fight two wounds but not
six. l fear that the odds are too great
against me-" were his last words,
whispered to DR.. Eugene Fuller.
About the time of Phillips death
the district attorneys office gave out
excerpts from Goldborough's diary,
found on the sidewalk near his rooms.
The statements were rambling, with

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Palms and other plants often suffer
from dust. They should be washed
with sponge at least once a week,
and the more fragile kind should be
sprayed with lukewarm water.
Clean brass, as usual, rub it over
with a cloth dipped in vasaline and
afterward polish with a dry buster.
This will keep it from getting tarnish-
ed so quickly, even in the dampest
weather.
If your last seasons hat trimmings
in the shape of flowers are badly faded
do not consider their condition hope
less; get a few water-colors and q
brush and proceed to touch them up to
your liking
Very pretty striped effects are found
in the cotton and linen mixture desig-
mated especially for furniture cover
ings. 1t is quite as satisfactory as
the all-linen fabric and costs about a
third as much.
When the kitchen wall is darker
than it should be, and you strongly
suspect that that part Of the general
grayness is SCOT, there is ready rem
edy in cold water. Do not use warm
water, as it is likely to turn the paper
yellow.
When there are several children con-
stantly in need Of new shoes the one
who has to provide them will do well
to try this: Coat the soles Of the shoes
with three or four coats of copal
varnish, and they will never need re-
selling.
When it is necessary to measure
any liquid by the drop one may dis
pense with the pipette. Cut a small
notch at the edge Of the cork, just
large enough for a drop TO come
through at a time; push the cork in
tight and pour.
Jars in which lard has been kept
for some time can be purified and
cleansed of all odor by filing with
skim milk and letting stand over
night Place on the stove and heat
slowly until it reaches the boiling
point. Scald with soda water.
For bruised furniture wet the part
with warm water, double a piece of
brown paper five or six times, soak it
in warm water, lay it on the place,
apply on that a warm f1at-iron till the
moisture is evaporated. If the bruise
is not gone repeat
To remove perspiration stains from
silk waists sponge the place over your
hand with a clean white rag wet in
cellar water; then cover completely
with powdered prepared chalk Let
it dry thoroughly and brush off care
