NEW YORK LETTER


BY Norman.
New York, Aug. 2o.-The wide
sale of David Graham Phillips
novels would have led the aver
age observer to believe, before
Phillips death, that he must be a
very rich man. His output was
prolific, and few writers have
produced fiction that was more
talked about than his.
Yet, when the appraisal of his
estate was filed, few days ago,
the total assets were placed at a
lite less than $4,000, consisting
almost entirely of royalty rights
in novels and short stories.
The amount Of royalty that
''The Grain of Dust" has yielded
since the authors death, and will
yield, is estimated at $12,544.
"The Price She Paid" is figured
at $1,000, THE Conflict" at S.
583. George Helm" $4,000, "The
Hungry Heart" 81, 1909, and SO on
down to "Old Wives for New"
5000 and Light Fingered Gen
try" $13.62.
A publishers statement filed
with the appraisal gave clew to
the reason why Phillips left so
little, despite his hard work and
his apparent success. The state
ment said that the sale of much |
he wrote was very short-lived.
For instance, the royalties on
Light Fingered Gentry" was
