MANY HIGH TRIBUTES PAID
 TO THE LIFE AND WORK OF
 DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS

New York. January 25.--David Gra
 nam Phillips funeral will be a public
 one. So many friends and admirers
 of his works have been stirred by his
 assassination that the plans for pri-
 vate funeral were abandoned tonight
 and it was announced the services
 would be held Friday afternoon at St.
 Georges Episcopal church. near the
 scene of Re attack against Phillips
 by Fitzhugh c. Goldsborough, which
 resulted in the authors death. The cer-
 emony will be held at o'clock with
 Archdeacon Nelson, assistant to Bishop
 Greer of the New York diocese. oni-
 ciating.
 The pallbearers will be:
 United States Senator Albert J. Bev- eridge, of Indiana, a former roommate of Phillips at Depauw university, who came on from Washington today to take charge of the funeral, Robert w. Chambers. the author; Joseph H. Sears,
 head of the Appleton publishing house; George Horace Lorlmer. editor of the Saturday V E,ueninE Post. Arthur w Lit | tle editor of Pearson's Magazine; Sam tuef G. BlytlleA,Washington writer John | to- 'l5arfe Cosgrove. fo,p1er editor of Ey- :, erXbody's Magazine. and Otto Car michael.
 Tn addition to pr. Nelson, the Rev. Hugh BirlShead. rector of St. Georges. will assist at the service and male
 sextette will sing.
 The services will be simple. After the funeral the body will be removed to a receiving vault in tho Marble cemetery. this city, and will rerliain there until taken to Phillips former home In sinaiana
 MT. Phillips death came SD late in the night that many of his colleagues | in literature and business did not learn | of 1t until this morning. As the news | reached them their personal regret was | increased by their feeling, expressed almost unanimously In the brief state ment which they gave out. that he was Killed at the beginning of a career that meant much for American letters.

State Widers Trying
 To Emulate Luke Lea
Awaiting For Psychological Moment Find Local Oponist Split When They Will Step Into Breach-House Now
 Storm Center For All the Activity
BY BERRYMAN c. BETTY

Montgomery, January 25.-(Special.)- One of the legislative tangles of 1911 which is as yet unravelled. and which bids fair to furnish the prettiest pyro- technics of the year when the solution is called for, is brought about by specu- latlon as to the effectiveness of the fighi which the prohibitionists of the legisla- ture will be able to wage From ths actions of this faction Tn both the house and the senate it is seen that the state widers are waiting for just such a psyeho- logical moment to arrive as Luke Lea waited for to become Tennessee's repre- sentative in the Senate of the United States Congress.
 This psychological moment. without doubt, is fast approaching and will burst out in full bloom when debate on the ad- mnistration local option bill is begun in the assemblies. Undoubtedly the local gle is brought about, but whether or not their strength will be impaired at the end of the scrimmage is undetermined
 House Organized
 Action of the prohibtionists of the house in organizing, with Representative Henry Merritt of Macon county as their leader, shows that the old prohibition fight has been started again. This house faction alleges that they will be able to boast strength of some fifty votes when their hands are called If the statement, as alleged. is true, the local optionsts of the lower body will have to keep themselves fin excellent trim at every ses- sion of the body and will have to keep themselves on the qui vive all the time to withstand concerted attacks. The se- lection of Representative Merritt to lead the fight for the prohibitionists shows how determined the state widers are to carry out their programme
 Representative Merritt has the distinc- tion of being one of the most consistent members of the lower body. He is al- ways on hand and he at all times keeps a watchful eye on what is going on around him.

JOHN WHITE IS HEAD OF MINERS

Columbus, O., January 25.-When official
 announcement was made today of the de-
 feat of President Tom l.. Lewis for re-
 election, Lewis declared on his retirement
 April l he would go back to the manual
 labor of the mines, and would not sell
 to mine owners the knowledge and ex-
 perience he had gained through his long
 official connection with the miners organ-
 ization. All the old officers save Lewis
 was reelected Tn, newly elected pres
 ident IS John P. White of Oskaloosa, la
 President Lewis, in today's conyention,
 said he hoped to be delegate to the next convention. He was accorded rousing ovation when he arose, ana it was many IT inutes before the hall could be quieted. Tellers reported that because of inn proper marking, 6593 votes for Lewis and 56co votes for White were thrown out.
 The resolution committee offered reso- luton calling on the convention and mem bcrs of the union to give moral and | financial support to strikes now in pro- | gress in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado and l Nova Scotia, and to give the international l executive board full and complete con
 trol over the strikes and pow CT to mare l settlements.
 1 The convention adopted the first portion | of inc resolution, but the latter was con | tested and no agreement was reported.

seemed yet to come-he was just finding himself and had struck a vein that prom ised richly for the future."
 Miss Hildegard Hawthorne, speaking of her personal acquaintance with MT. Phil lips, said:
 The desire to work out the ideas of his country and his age was always upper most in his ambition and he was growing so rapidly toward his idea in this direc- tion that his trends had already allotted him lofety place in letters. We believe him destined to lasting fame as the ex- ponent of American life and the problems that beset it-n
 It was curious uoincidence that while MT. Phillips was breathing his last in this hospital room a silent procession from nearby undertaker's was carrying the body of his assassin, Fltzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, to the railway station In Jersey City The casket, with it's strange load of tragedy, was put aboard a train Fat midnight and was shipped to Wash ington, where the body of the young man will be buried tomorrow.
 That Mir. Phillips assailant was de- mented, appears to have been demon | strated conclnsively. not only by the curious testimony of his diary ant
 nc e books, but also by his appeals tc Mayor Gaynor's secretary and other of | HCldlS TUT pTOttCtlOfl l'OIN DtfSOHS Wili he believed were bounding him. Tho entries in the diary showed that he had translated to personal abuse tle authors picturesque characterization of a class in his novel on Washington life. "The Adventures of Joshua Craig, ' and under this misconstruction had conceived a homicidal hatred of which the victim was unaware.
 MT. Phillips was horn In Madison, Ind. in 1867. and was a Princeton grad uate' aiid ---ss'narried. He was one of the Indiana group Of suUt7y-4Ailnrs which includes Booth Tarlington, George Ade, Meredith Mich holson. Charles Ma jor and others. He had written 20 novels--many best sellers" among them-and numerous magazine articles His father was David Graham Phil lips, a banker. His mother now is living in Los Angeles. Cal Besides Mrs. Fervert. the sister with whom he made his home in New York city, there is second sister. Mrs. McLelland, living in Indiana. and a third, Mrs. Oliver Kinsay. living In Georgia. He had one brother, Edison w. Phillips
 Senator Beveridge announced this aft ernoon that the funeral of Mr. Phil Hrs would take place on Friday and that it would be public.

LIVELY DEVELOPMENTS IN
 VOTE SELLING SCANDAL

Danville, January 25.-Vermillion countys grand jury investigation of al- legged vote traffic took on new life to- day and involved the instigator, Judge E. R. E. Kimbrough. In addition to Judge Kimbrough half score of the most prominent democratic politicians in Speaker Joseph G. Cannons home county have been drawn into the in- quisition.
 Today's developments were:
 Judge Kimbrough summoned to tes- tify before the grand jury which he charged to make the investiga tion.
 Mayor Platt also asked to testify.
 Elections held more than IS months ago ordered excluded by Judge Kim brough brought under fire.
 Courts own election brought within scope of inquiry.
 Testimony of Charles Knox, unsue- cessful candidate for sheriff, and Peter Sanachus, prominent Greek politician.
 Mayor Platt and Judge Kmbrough announce they will go before inqnisi- tors and unreservedly tell all they know.
 Opening of fire on both democrats and republicans.
 Late today list of subpoenas was issued and given the sheriff for inn mediate service.
 The political aspect of the move to- day which was intensified when Fore- man Isaac Woodward showed surprise when asked about the new list, at once became the chief ;opic of conversation in Danville. Members of one faction openly declared 1t was move to whitewash the others now that 1t Is too late to get action' while the oth- CTS denied knowledge of the motives back of the movement and said 1t was only a natural step in the much de- sired cleaning up of political condi tions."
 Outside of his dislay of surprise when shown the list, Foreman Isaac

NO CHANGE IN THE
 VOTE AT ALBANY

| Albany. N. Y, January 5.-Evidence of a break in the deadlock over the election of United States senator which has ex- | isted for the past two weeks, appeared tonight in several quarters. Although there was no organized movement, in- dlvidual members were more open in ex- pressing dissatisfaction with the prolon- Gation of the present situation and de- velopments are expected soon that will set some new figures on the tally slips oi the joint assembly. No one, however, would predict that the situation would show any outward change this week. Until today prospects, of break were based on the efforts made by the sup porters of w. F. Sheehan to win over enough votes from the 26 democrats who refused to attend the democratic caucus to elect Sheehan. But after Norman D. Mack, the national democratic chairman, and Winfield A. Huppuch,, state chair man of the democratic organization. had tried in vain to bring the -'insurgents' into line, some of those who had voted for Mr. Sheehan. mainly because they considered 1t their duty to do so under caucus obligation, began to look for an other solution of the problem. sf u lS sdchuOMleuStQ Una L. lnes sNeW Ork county leaders are the only ones qualified to speak with authority on this subject and hitherto they have insisted that the party was bound by all party principles to elect MT. SheehaI. Tonight. however prominent Tammany man acknowledged that the possibility of abandoning Mir. sheehan for another candidate was un- der discussion
 The apparent hopelessness of the situa- tion as it now stands was i'll istrated to- day when the seventh joint ballot gave the Il democratic candidates exactly the same vote as they received yesterday

M 'CURDY FAILS TO
 MAKE A START


 Key West, Fla, January 25.-J. A. D. McCurdy the aviator who had planned to fly from this place to Havana, Cuba, today, was compelled to postpone the attempt on account of unfavorable winds. At 6 o'clock tonight the indi- cations were that the unfavorable weather conditions would continue to- morrow.
 McCurdy said late this afternoon that he would attempt the flight as soon us the winds permit. He seems to be in happy frame of mind over the un dertaking, and believes he will accom- plish 1t successfully
 The people of Key West are display ing great interest in the proposed flight to Havana. Factories. stores and schools have closed at 1 o'clock ir the afternoon Tor the past two days and thousands have assembled, hoping to see the air man begin his Journey.

Woodyard. who has all along said just wait, we will get to the bottom of this thing" had only a smile to offer to questioners tonight and new interest in the investigation has sprung as a result.
 Many of the subpoenas are issued in ueiia ,'.i9I, nee of the instructions of Judge kimbrougb in efTrging the grand JufS last week when he told them thcs were empowered to investigate alleged traf- fic in votes only during the last Is months.
 Among the witnesses before the grand jury today was Peter Sanachus who has considerable influence among his countrymen in Danville. He spent an hour before the questioners and had announced previously that he would tell all he knew

The upper body of the Alabama legisla- ture seems to be resting from the pro hibition skirmish at the present time though the deluge in their direction is expected to be precipitated within the week. Senate prohibition strength versus local option seems not to have been paired off of late, for the senate is rec ognized in advance as in favor of the ad- ministration local option measure.
 Favorable comment is heard on the streets regarding the bill which is con- sidered one of the most thorough meas ures of it's kind ever written There seems to be no loophole left for such law lessness as follows in the wake of the "open barroom;" nor, as for that mattsr, such lawlessness as is alleged under the present statewide laws.
 Temperance Hearing
 Tomorrow night the temperance com mlttee of the house, of which Represenf tative John V Smith of Montgomery is chairman, will have public hearing at the capitol, at which the measure will be discussed pro and con. Both sides are expected to be well represented when the matter is taken up for consideration. MT. Smith in this connection announces that both sides will be rendered the same courtesies of speech and discussion. As a result of this. the biggest committee meeting in the history of Alabama may be held at that time.
 Attempts will be made to amend the local option measure, but indications are that all such attempts will be foiled by the supporters of the measure, save in so far as technicalities may enter. The general provisions of the bill will be fought for as if they are inviolate. These general provisions provide for high li7 cense with rigid restrictions; an excise commission to see to 1t that the law is enforced, and heavy penalties for vio- laton of the law unit government for all cities of 10000 population or more, with full specifications as to the modus operandi in all local option elections. Local bills will be passed in both houses to suit the needs of those cities having a population of less than 10000.
 Such is the measure around which the prohibitionists of the house are going to battle, and in defense of which the local optionists are going to war with the end in view of writing in the statutes of the state the wishes of the voters of this commonwealth, as expressed in the elec- ton which made Emmet O'Neal governor
