prohibition question. Mr. Lea received
practically the solid vote of the Indepen-
dent Democrats and Republicans and
barely enough regular Democrats to win.
The victory Is one for prohibition and a
distinct defeat to the Patterson wing of
the party. -
Though not holding an office Lea has
been a hard fighter for prohibition and
has taken part in local campaigns on

the success of the revolutionists along

points as Truxillo and Ruatan.
The seizure of the Hornet by the

gents and it Is expected the revolution

POLICE RAID.
This morning at 2:30 o'clock Police
Sergeant Powell Roberts, accompa-
nied by Officers Shobe and Webster,
raided the rooming house over the
"M” Bar. corner of Oregon and Third,
and arrested P. T. Smith, Daisy Allen.
Fanny Williams and Frank Williams,
all colored, for smoking opium. They
were taken to the police station ijj
the patrol wagon and will likely have
« hearing today
well. Make the best of It and I’ll try
to bear you out.”
The six shots broke the quiet of one
of the most aristocratic neighbor-
hoods of New York. The Princeton
Club, formerly the home of the late
Stanford White, fronts on Grammer-
cy Park, and at 2 o’clock of a bright
afternoon Philips, who lives nearby
at the National Arts Clutf was saunt-
ering through the sunshine for an
hour with hts frledns. A policeman
stood not one hundred yards atway.
Two foot passengers had just passed
the club as Phillips was seen ap-
proaching it.
Nobody saw anything to attract
attention’ In the well dressed Golds-
borough, who was walking In a di-
rection’opposite from Phillips. There
was no argument as they met. no
quarrel, no opportunity for self de-
fense.
The shiny barrel of the pistol glint-
ed In the sunshine; a thin haze of
powder spat from the muzzle and the
spatter of shots punctuated the air
with great rapidity.
Phillips staggered, but did not fall.
He lurclfed against the Iron railing
that surrounds the clubhouse yards,
with one hand to his body and the
other grasping for support.
Satisfied that he had been suc-
cessful the assailant fired the seven-
th Into his own brain and toppled
over before anybody could reach him,
For hours his body lay In the sun-
shine with only a sheet to cover lb
The policeman and the two bystand-
ers came up on the run. At the same
moment three members of the club—
Newton Jam?*, Frank Davis and
Frederick Evans—rushed down the
steps and carried Phillips Into the
house.
"Graham, wYiat’s happened?” ask-
ed Evans. Phillips was ,conscious
and suffering Intensely.
"He shot me In the bowels,” he
answered. "Don’t bother with him.
For God's sake get a doctor."
It was some time before an am-
bulance arrived, and in the meantime
the club members were trying to
Identify the dead man. In the
pockets were cards bearing his name
and the address 1331 K street, Wash-
ington, D. C. He carried $34.50 In
cash, a membership card In the
American Federation of Musicians
end two manuscripts of short stories.
William E. McCoomhs, secretary
of the Princeton Glut), recognized the
man for Fltzhugh Goldshorough of
an old respected Maryland family, he
said. Word from Washington con-
firmed the Identification and added
that Goldshorough was a Harvard
graduate. MeCoombs corrected that.
He said Goldshorough had entered
Harvard with the class of 1901 but
left college at the end of his fresh-
man year. After the arrival of th«
coroner the body was taken to a
police station, wher# It was further
Identified by Algernon Lee, secretary
of the Rand School of social science,
where Goldshorough lived. Lee said
Goldshorough came here Hast Nov-
ember and took roosjs at\he school.
He was not a student and mingled
little with the life of the Institution.
Harrison W. Phillips, David Gra-
ham’s younger brother, said that
Goldshorough had been bothering
David with letters and telephone calls
for a mifflfh or six weeks but his
brother had never been able lo learn
what the man’s grievance was. He
thought perhaps they had met at
.some socialistic gathering and that
Goldshorough had Insisted Phillips
ought to "do something for ths
cafise.”
Mrs. Caroline Pervert, Phllllps’jil'
sister, who lived with him at the Na-
tional Arts Club thought her brother
Harrison must he mistaken. She
doubted If David had ever met the
man, although she too said she had
biihered with notes and telephone
calls, demanding appointments in
dark and out of the wav corners. One
of the members of the Princeton club
said that when Mr. Phillips was ask-
ed who shot him. he heard:
- "I don't luiow.”
Pevld Graham. Phillips was born
In Madison, Tnd.! October 31, 1367
and graduated first at Depauw
University and later from Princeton
with the class of '87. The first lit-
erary work was done as a reporter
for the New York Pun which he left
to hecotne an editorial writer on th*
New York world.
While still with the World he pub-
lished In 1901 hls first novel. "The
Great God Success.” It brought him
royalties and he left newspaper work
to devote himself to fiction and the
magazines. For a time he wrote
many editorials fitr the Saturday
Evening Post of Philadelphia as well
as signed special articles. He Is un-
married.
Mr. Phillips was a nafnstaklng hut
methodical work»r and hls hoo^e fot- j
lowed one another with regularity at j
the rate of two a year. He did most
of hls writing In the early morning
and usuallv composed standing up,
at a high desk. Hit dally stunt was
done and he was Just strolling over
to the chih for a little recreation,
when he was shot.

and the police were asked to search
for him. Then a letter was received
In which the young man said ho was

"He was witty, wrote beautiful
poetry, and was a deep student in
palmistry,” Mr. Mossman said, “ but
he was very high strung. Previous
