New. York, January 24.-David Gra- ham Phillips has lost his brave fight for life. He died in Bellevue hospital late tonight victim of Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, an eccentric and emotional musician, who, although of refined taste and aristocratic southern stock, shot the novelist down yesterday for fancied fought valiantly to live but six bullet holes were too much even for his grit and sturdy constitution and as II 0 clock came and passed he died.
 He was conscious up to within a quar- ter of an hour of his death, which oc- cured just at five minutes past Il o'clock. At the bedside were his sister, Mrs. Caro- lyn Fervert: his brother, Harrison W. Phillips; his personal physician, Dr. Flu gene Fuller, and Dr, Donovan of Belle vue. The immediate cause of death was hemorrhage of the right lung which had been pierced by one steel-clad bull let from Goldsborough's automatic re- volver,
 Up to g o'clock the novelist was rest ing quietly and both physicians and rel atives were hopeful of the outcome. He had been conscious all day and had re- ceived visitors, among them his sister, his brother United States Senator Bev- eridge of Indiana, and several writers of note. Their visits were extremely brief, but all who came away appeared optimistic. About 9 o'clock tonight the patient took a turn for the worse and although the surgeons did everything In their power the end was inevitable. The physicians concerned met directly after death and decided to request the coroner to dispense with an autopsy. It is be- lieved that this request will be granted. although an autopsy is the usual thing in all homicide cases
 Harrison Phillips announced that Sena- tor Beveridge will have charge of the funeral arrangements. The senator re- turned to Washington thls afternoon but will probably come back to New York in the morning.
 In the meantime it Is thought that Phillips body will be taken either to the Princeton club or to the National Arts club.
 When 1t was seen that Phillips was sinking it was decided to infuse into but he declined so rapidly that the sug- gestion was abandoned.
 The coroner issued a permit late to- night for the removal of the body without the formality of an autopsy Senator Beveridge said over the telephone from Washington that he would he fin New York early Wednesday morning.
 Miss Frances Goldsborough arrived from Washington today, and with her cousin, John Farr, took charge of her

The acceptance by the government of the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Nineteenth street for the new fed eral building, as officially announced from Washington, created universal favorable comment in this city.
 While there were many desirable sites offered, the logical point seemed to cen ter about that locality from the time the race started until Special Agent Von Nerta came here and looked over the ground.
 The property which has been accepted by the government has a greater market value than the price paid by the govern meut. It was stated last night that on account of the limit placed on the site appropriation by the government an ad- ditional amount was raised among those interested in that part of the city, which was paid for the location on Fifth avenue. It was not learned what amount was made up among the property owners, but is said to have been a rather tidy sum.
