New York, Jan. 25.—The body of
David Graham l’hillii)s, the slain novel
ist. probably will be laid to rest in
Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn. The
body of Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough,
the poet-musician, who slew Phillips,
v.hi( h was borne to the railway station
in .lerse.v' City just as tlie novelist
was breathing his last, will be buried
in Washington today.
New York. Jan. 25,—The funeral of
David (Graham Phillips, who died in
Bellevue hospital shortly before mid
night li'om I he effects of an assas
sin's bu'iet v.ill be held, according to
an aniioanci'ment this morning in the
i'lotc;-tiini EpiScOi>al Church ot the
Transfiguration, affectionately known
to many as tlie “Little Church Around
the Corner.” The services, will be in
cliarge of the Rev. Dr. George C.
Hcughlon. pastor of the little church,
which, since its esLablishment, has
been dedicated to the use of those wiio
toil in the fields of art and letters.
Tlie arrangement for the burial, etc..
ate all in the hands of Senator Albert
Beveridge, who was one of the writ
er’s most intimate friends,
Mr. Phillips death came so late In
the night that many of his colleagues
in literature and business did not heai’
of it until this morning. As the news
reached them, their personal regret
was increased by their feeling, ex-
pressed almost unanimously in the
brief statementsr which the.v gave out,
that he was killed at the beginning
of a carec;- that meant much for Amer
ican letters, they dwelt particularly
on the promise that he had shown
and the certainty that he was likely
to give expression more and more to
the ideals .of the men among whom he
lived.
Robert W. Chambers, the novelist,
wlio had been, perhaps, his closest as
sociate in New York city, said:
“He was one of the best men. He
was high minded and true, one of the
tinest Ameri-'an writers. His best
work seemed yet to come—be was just
finding himself and had struck a vein
that promised richly for the future.
Miss Hildegard Hawthorne, speaking
of her personal acquaintance with Mr.
phillips, said:
“The desire to work out the ideas of
his coiuxiry and his age was always
uppermost in his ambition and he
was growing rapidly toward his idea
in this direction that his friends had
already alloted him a lofty i)lace in
letters. We believed him destined to
lasting fame as the exponent of Amer
ican life and the problems that beset
it.”
It was a curious coincidence that
while Mr. Phillips was breathing his
last in this hospital room a silent pro
cession from a nearby undertakers
was carrying the body of his assasin,
Fitzhugh Coyle Goldsborough, to the
railway station in Jersey City. The cas
ket with its strange load of tragedy
was put aboard a train at midnight
and M'as shipped to Washington, where
the body of the young fanatic will be
buried tomorrow.
That Mr. Phillips assailant was de
mented appears to have been demon
strated conclusively not only by the
curious testimony of his diary and
notebooks, but also by his appeals to
Mayor Gaynor's secretary and other
officials for protection from persons
whom he believed were hounding him.
Tlie entries in the diary showed that
he had translated to personal abuse
the authors picturesque characteriza
tion of a class in his novel on Wash
ington life. “The Adventures of Joshua
Craig, ’ and under this misconstruction
had conceived a hQmicidal hatred of
which the victim was unaware.
Mr Phillips was born in Madison,
Ind., in 1867, was a Princeton grad
uate and not married. He was one of
the Indiana group of story
which includes Booth
George Ade, Meredith
Charles Major and others. He had writ
ten ‘’0 novels—many "best sellers’
among them—and numerous magazine
articles.

Messrs. J. B. and B. N, Duke, cap
italists, promotors, men whose mil
lions are being lavishly used in the j iovmer
pushing to completion of a chain of
electric , interurban railways where-
b> ci’ie!- ■' I towjis in the Car(/linn.s
may be inseparably linked, are in
Charlotte today. They were closeted
with Mr. W. S. Lee, vice-president
and chief engineer of the Southern
Power Company, of which they are
the founders and the leading spirits,
all the morning and couid not be in
terviewed for publication.
All the way from Greensboro to
Greenwood, the one in North Carolina
and the other in South Carolina, the
promotors have met with a hearty
reception and a generous co-opera
tion by the citizens of all classes. In
Sptirtanburg, where the proposition
of the interurban road was put to
the chamber of commerce and the
ciiizens in general a few nights ago,
a contribution of $ll.o,000 was made,
and each of the mills nearby gave
so much per spindle.
Spartanburg, however, was not so
generous as was Charlotte, for citi
zens here, believing in the enterprise
and recognizing what it will mean
to all the people, responded in a
lavishly free contribution.
It was given out that the Messrs.
Duke are here todaj' to consult with
Mr. Lee regarding some work on
the different plants in course of con
struction. They will be here until
Thm-sday nighf and before leaving
will have Bomthing to say about the
fertilizer plant to be built at Great
Falls and which is to ftirnish fertil
izer by artificial means from the

that the article in The News of yes

New Orleans. Jan. 25.—Organized
labor today felt the restraining force
of the SiJernian anti-trust, law when a
jury in the Vnited States circuit court
here returned a verdict of guilty
against memiiers of the New Orleans
dock and cotton council, a central or
ganization of labor union icinesenta-
tives, charged with conspirafv to in
terfere witii for(M^n commerce.
The convi'led men arc James
Byrnes, foriiit;- prt.-ident of tlie coinv
cil and at i)ic;sent state laiior commis
sioner of Louisiana: Philip Pirarsaw,
(iresident of the local coal
wheelers ui.ion, and I.'. S. Swaa, form-
ev presideiii of tlie Longshoiemen’s
uni()n. The lacier two are negroes.
'i'he remaining- si\cy-four indicted
niember" of the council were acquitted.
The crime alleged was committed
three years as^o during the iiongsliore-
men's stril^c. The men were i^rought
to trial Monday, more than twcj years
after the iudi^'tmenis had been leturn-
ed against them.
It was charged that tlie n'nmbers of
tiie Nev/ Orleans dock and cotton coun
cil, rejircsentiiig IM bibor unions of the
city, met in special session on Dec. 2(5,
1907, and consi)ired lo im.erfero w'ith
foreign commerce by agreeing to an
order directin.g members of the local
coal wheelers union employed by
Coyle & Co. to refuse to coal the
steamship tiabil because non-union
longshoremen liad been engaged to
load the vessel.
As a result of that meeting the un
ion coal wheelers refused to assist in
coaling the Habil.
The verdict of the juiy caused little
surprise to those who listened to the
charge of Judge Grubb.
He told the jury that an “outsider”
such a& a central labor council Iiad
no right to interfere between employ
er and emplo.ye; that an order issued
by such a body directing laborers who
had no grievance against their em
ployer to refuse to coal a shij) was an
interference with commerce and that
the effect of such an order was in the
nature of a boycott and in violation ot
the law.
A conspiracy to commit a crime is
unlaw'fui, said the court, whether the
crime is effected or not. Tlie violation
is in the nature of an agreement rath
er than in what it:- accomplished by
it.

Wheeling, W. Va., J:>.n. 2r,.—Wh:>t
probafdy will l;t' tiie filial session of
the'trial of Mis. Lauia Farnsworth
Schenk, charged with poisoning her
husband, John O. Schenk, opened to
day. Tonight it is expected tlie case
will be in the hands of the jury. A
speedy verdict is .aniicij)ated.
S. O. Boyce, senior counsel for the
defense, who was in the midst of his
argument wiien the liour for adjourn
ment arrived last night, will resume.
Mr, Boyce had reached a point last
night where he was to take up the
testimony o fthe witness. Paniel C.
Phillips, the iiiano salesman, who told
of various clandestine meetings with
Mrs. Schenk.
Attorney S. O. Boyce continued bis
argument for the defense this morn
ing. He launched into a speech against
the piano salesman, Daniel Phillips,
who, be declared, wormed his way into
the confidence of Mrs. Schenk only to
betray her.
Attorney Boyce closed his argument
at 10:r»0 a. m. and after a brief re
cess Prosecutor Handtan opened the
final address for the state.
Mr. Boyce declared that if Dr. J. W’.
Myers, who testified to having sold
lead poison to Mrs. Schenk had been
lionest, he would have gone to the
prosecuting artorney and told him of
selling Mrs. Schenk sugar o" lead and
asked an investigation when it be
came su.s-pected Schenk had been pois
oned. ,
Mr. Boyce characterized Eleanor
ZoecViler, tkie deteitive nurse, as a
witiiess who was employed for the
sole pui'jKise of squirming her way
into the affections of Mrs. Sclicnk and
playing the part of a .Tudas.
It develoiied lieve today that the
United States senate, through the se
lect committee of the senate to in-
ves'tigate the administration of crimi
nal law by fedei'al oifK^ers. had taken
notice of the trial of Mrs. Schenk. It
h'as been maintained iiy the defense
that the “-’Mrd degree” methods have
been used by the attthorities for th(;
l)urnose of extorting alleged (.-onfes-
sioiis or testimony against the defend-
i ant.
Attorney .1. J. P. O'Brien, for the de
fense, on Sunday received a telegram
from Louis .1. Carmody, of the commit
tee of the senate to investigate the
administration of criminal law, in
■>,-hic-h lie asks whether "there is any
thing to show third degere • methods
used by the prosecution. Am watching
this case carefully and will appreciate
anything yon may do to hel]) me.’
’Attorney O'Brien iast night sent this
reply:
“W'onld not advise investigation un
til after verdict,”
Pros-ecutor Handian refused to dis
cuss the matter btir made a general
denial of use of a “third degree” meth
ods.
For the fit si time since .Itidgo Jor
dan issued his dt'cree barring women
from the court room while the trial
was in progress, he rc-lenied this
morning and permitted a woman news
writer to sit, with the reporters.
From a point of vantage in the
clock tower yesterday a numl)er ot
women took positions where they
could see and hear all tliat transpired.

Nashville, 'i'enn,, Jan. 2.'i.—Benjamin
W. Hooper, who headed the republi
can ticket in this state last November,
but drew the support of thousands of
voters of various politi'al altiliations,
was inaugurated governor of Ten-
nesce today.
Governtu- Hooper'» inaugural ad
dress oi)ened with a plea for tlie ces
sation of political strife in Tennessee.
“I do not seek a i>olitical arcadia—a civ-
milieniiim." he declared, ‘but 1 Cio beg
of the people of the state and their
le.gislative represt'iilalives that we ad
vocate ami practice the settleinent of
our political differences within legal
and constitutional limitations.”
The inauguration took place in the
Ryiiian auditorium instead of at the
capitol, in order that the thousran^ds
of citi:'.ens who came to Nashville to
witness Uie exercises might gain »i-
mittance.
Members of the state senate, tho
house of representatives, the siijiremo
court and the inaugural committee oc
cupied seats on the stage. A short
farewell address was made by the re
tiring governor, M. R. Patterson, when
the oath of office was administered
t6 Governor Hooper by Cliief Justice
J. K. Shields.
After taking the oath of office Gov
ernor Hooper delivered iiis inaugural
address, in which he said:
“It does not behoove u!-^ to see our
selves with self-laudation, either on ac
count of our glorions history and tradi
tions, or because of the magnificent
natural resources of our state. We are
entitled to credit eitiier for a proud
or distinguished ancestry or for tho
unexcelled variety of our climate,
products and resourcesr. It is only the
manner in which we are conserving
and developing our resources and the
degree of liberty, enlightenment an i
opjiortunity that we are giving our
neoiile that, can confer distimtlion upon
our citizenship, establish our rank as
a state and tix our place in history.”
In referring to tlie public school sys
tem, Ciovernor Hoopt'r declared that
■'conservation of fores-ts and mines
sink into insignilicance wIk’U c(jni|)ar-
ed with the conservation of the minds
of our Ijoys aiid girls.” He advocated
g(jod schools, go(»d roads, improve-

In conclusion he took ui> the ques
