mon seated at the second-story window
of tho Art Society building. This wo
man was about twenty years old or a
little more 1 should say, and had a
large hat with flowers around it.
"'She smiled over at mo in a pointed
manner, and on ilrst catching sight !
me lifted her hand and waved lt. I |
couldn't quite deride whether this was j
an involuntary motion of interest on |
seeing me or was meant as a sign of |
encouragement for mo to start me
flirting with her. I got rather tho lat?
ter impression.
"A man was half in sight near the
window. 1 think it was I). G. P.. but I
am not quite sure, l looked steadily
at this woman for a few moments, and
glanced away just as the man came to
lite window to look out. 1 Mien kept
my eyes away from that window as
much as possible The woman, how?
ever, continued for perhaps a half
hour or three-quarters, enough longer
:o sit there and take evident notice of
me. 1 concluded it was- Mrs Frevert. ?
D, G. P.'s sister, and Hint they were
pniusing themselves after receipt of
my last letter t" him and ni my ex?
pense. But later, as l left my house
t Iini same woman left hers and looked
at me fixedly, and l do not think it
?uns Mrs. Frevert. Now why did she
make these advances?
"It occurred to nie later that when I
flirted with hot a claim of my having
acted in nii annoying way might have
been circulated to my detriment, 1
nru>{ be careful of what plans this
blackguard may make to injure me.
The theory that he Is seeking to do
so, however, rests on stronger evidence
than the mere incident just described."
Under another dnte lie says:
"Called last night again tn Phillips.
They said he had gone to Pittstleld,
Mass. If so my trouble has been in
vain. His ignoring my last letter and
twice excusing himself is in itself a
confession of guilt."
CAREER OF PHILLIPS
Und Achieved Fame tin Author of Nine?
teen Volumes of Fiction.
David Graham Phillips had achieved
national distinction as the author of
nineteen published novels and many
magazine articles, including one series
called "The Treason of the Senate,-'
which drew President Roosevelt to the
?defense of the Senate and caused his
application of the term "muck-raking"
to that style of writing.
Less than two weeks ago Mr. Phillips
went to hie publishers. D. Appleton &
Co., with the completed manuscript
of a new novel, as yet unnamed. They
said yesterday that this latest work
was different from anything he had yet
done, inasmuch as it wao extraordlnnrly
long and would probably require two
volumes for publication. Another
volume from his pen is in their hands
now, nnd is to be brought out in April.
This will bring hie list of novels up
to twenty-tone, a number which puts
him In the front rank of young Amer?
ican authors In point of productivity.
With the publication of "The Second
Generation" In 1907. Mr. Phillips came
Into his own as a novelist. Ho had
previously printed eleven novels, but
; this one crystallized the scattered ap?
preciation of his work, and his voice
began to be hailed by the critics as'a.?
new one in American I'terRture. They j
recognized that ho was a successful j
portrayer of Mg movements in Amor- \
lean life, that he had forsaken tho j
paths that could be called well worn, j
He wrote out of the experience that j
his years as a reporter and newspaper,
writer had given him. Ho took pains
to say that he did not believe In the
literary ideals of "the period when the
pages of Irving and Cooper correctly
mirrored ihe daily doings, the aspira- ,
lions, the V'rtuos, tho ain??if they had
mns in those days?of their content- |
poraries."
lie was for forsaking these Ideals'
anti hot continuing to "paint things in j
terms of tho little red sclibolhouae." j
Mr. Phillips was born at Madison. ;
Und., forty-three years ago. Ho at
tended De Fuuw University, going from
there to Prlhcototi, where he was grad?
uated with a bachelor's degree in 1SS7.
!!<? immediately went into the news
I apfjr field, coming to New York after
? short experience on the Cincinnati
^Enquirer .and joining the staff of the
Now York Sun.
Charles Edward Russell told recently
in the Rook News Moalhly of one of
his first assignments, about, fifteen
j para ago. when a civil war hud broken
out in the mountain region of E.isi
Tennessee, on the attempt of a great
mining company to use conyidi labor.
He told of the feeiings among ; lu
borhbatants and the reporters already
pr#*j.eht when the evening train dc
UA>sl*ed cti the station a tall, languid
looking young man in an elegant suit
of while flannels, whose chief concern
:)n life seemed to be that, his trunk
jmd been lost, and with it his pajamas.
it la said that his fellow-reporters
looked forward tc the sight of Ids first
[ivork with curiosity and hopeful ex
[pect?tlons of mirth. When it arrived
[there was astonishment, but no mirth,
tot then appeared that this young man.
J^olng quietly about, apparently wor
Iriod only about lost pnjamas, had seen
(everybody and noted every salient fact
and detail. Then with skill and c.om
jpeillng power he had laid all the un?
derlying springs and causes of option
'? lcnr, analyzed, weighed and human
ji/.cd the elements of the conflict so
that, instead of n thing temporary
'und Insignificant, it was shown truly
'as something nig and vital.
This was David Graham Phillips, re?
porter, and in it can be seen the
touches that later made the novelist.
After leaving the Sun. Mr. Phillips
.went to the World to be for a time
iia London cprrespondent, and after
?ward editorial writer, If he did noth?
ing else there he acquired a habit of
writing that lasted into his novelistic
days, for he wae tho night editorial
. writer nnd became used to doing moat
af his work after D o'clock.
Most Of the work on his novels was
dene between the hours of 10 at night
?nd S or I In the morning. He would
&lub at 7. and soon after retire to his
ftudlo in East Nineteenth Street to
i>pend the rest of the night there at
rv/ork. He sometimes accomplished as
beuch a.-. 6.00C or 7.000 words of the
f.rst draft >,K a novel in a night
The last novel he published was call?
ed "Tho Husband's Story." and was put
out late Jas: year i: attracted con?
siderable attention, principallj because
i: said uncomplimentary things about
American women. He accused them in
tho bock of being mainly social . ;i:;i>,
era and Incapable of entering fully into
the better part of their husbands's
lives, Jn It he asks the question, "Is
there any line of serious endeavor In
Which an American >&-pman is Interest?
ing arid helpful and companionable to
i man0" And the effect of the work
in to answer the question in the nega?
tive. The book w>;s taken up and dis?
cussed by woman's societies every?
where, and was even made a topic at
nr. annual convention of tho New York
City Federation of Women's Clubs
Tho novelist had the distinction of

Southampton. Eng., January 21.?
Captain Charles Barr, the noted Ameri?
can yachtsman died suddenly of heart
trouble here to-day.
Captain Barr had been in this coun?
try since last spring, when ho brought
over his last command, the schooner
Westward, built by the llerrcshotls for
A. S. Cochran. of the New York Yacht
Club. With tho Y\ estward Captuin
Barr won many trophies at the re?
gattas at Kiel and Cowes last summer.
His success as skipper of tho de?
fenders of tho America's cup gave mm
a high place In European yachting cir?
cles, from which newa of his unex?
pected d~fniso called forth many ex?
pressions of keen regret.
Captain Barr had appeared to be in
perfect health this morning. He was
having breakfast with his family when
suddenly ho placed a band upon his
heart and with a cry of pain fell tor
ward Into the arms of his wife, dead.
rtecret In New Yorlc.
Now York, .January 21.?Oftlcinls and
members of the New York Yacht Club,
on whose defenders- of the America's
cup Captain "Charlie" Barr sailed so
many successful races, were shocked
to-day to leant of the famous skipper's
sudden death In Southampton. Secre?
tary G. A. Cormack, of the club, voiced
the sentiments of the club members as
to the masterly work Captain Barr had
done In handling American contestants
in the long series of cup contests sailed
In Aniorican waters.
"Capta'n Barr was the greatest skip?
per who ever lived." said Secretary Cor?
mack. "His career as skipper of the
cup defenders was such a uniformly
successful one that It would be hard
to Blngle out his greatest feat. All his
races were wonderfully well sailed. It
Is unnecessary to say that the news of
his death Is received with the greatest
regret by the New Y'ork Yacht Club."
C. Ledyafd Blair, commodore of the
New Y'ork Yacht Club, expressed great
grief upon hearing of Capta'n Barr's
deatn.
"It. will, be a great shock to all the
members of the club," he said. "No
man stood higher in bis profession
than Captain Barr. I am sincerely
porry. It will be a. great regret to
everybody."
"Won Nntnble Itnce.*.
Captain Charles Barr, regarded gen?
erally as the foremost sporting skipper.
Avon international admiration by his
successful sailing of several of the
defending yachts which have kept the
America's cup on ..his side of the At?
lantic since it was brought over in
18R1.
The most notable International con?
test in which he sailed the winner was
perhaps that, of 1901; when tho Colum?
bia, which bad defeated Shamrock I.
two years before, showed her heels to
the Shamrock II. The American boat
won the first heat of the race by 1
minute and 2a seconds; the seeond by 3
minutes and 35 seconds, and the third
by 11 seconds. In this final heat Sham?
rock IT. finished first, but lost on a
time allowance of 48 seconds.
Captain Barr's most recent triumphs
were' in competition with Emperor
William's and other German yachts at
Kiel and Cowes in the regattas of last
sit miner. There, in command of A. S,
Gochi;an'.s Westward, he carried o? the
best prizes.

ILLITERACY TEST
Measure Affecting Aliens Re
commended to
House.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Washington, January 24.?Tho House
Committee on immigration and Nat?
uralization, to which was referred a
bill to amend and regulate tho Im?
migration of aliens into the United
States, approved February 20. 1907.
i has reported It without amendment,
j and recommends that it be passed.
Tills bill provides that all alien Im?
migrants over sixteen years of age
must be able to read. The wording of
the bill Is substantially tho same as
that of section :J8 of the general im?
migration bill, presented to the House
of Representatives in 1906. At that
time the House felt that an immigra?
tion commission ought to report on
this question before an Illiteracy test
should be adopted, and for that reason
it substituted a paragraph providing
for such a commission in lieu of the
paragraph providing a nllllteracy test.
The Immigration commission has
just reported to Congress, nnd while
It suggests several other ways of ac?
complishing restrictions should Con
I Kress see lit to adopt them,. It recom
: mends the Illiteracy test "as the most
t feasible single method of restricting I
I undesirable immigration." I
I That the illiteracy test is a complete i
i method of sifting <>ut umlesirablo im- |
' migrants tho committee by no means I
i contends. The committee admits the
truth, hut not the force, of the state-|
j mcnt that an honest though ignorant' ;
workman will make a hotter citizen :
than a highly educated rascal.
To form a general conclusion from a I
few specific cases is notoriously tin- |
sound argument. The real question I
is this: Is it probable A hat 1,000,000,
men who cannot read 'will make as
good citizens as 1.ana.000 men who are j
able to do so? To answer tiiat ques- !
tion in tho affirmative Is to Impeach
tlic American common school system. I
Not Sufficiently Drastic.
I The Commissioner-General of lmml- j
gration feels that the illiteracy test Is
not sufficiently drastic So does the. '
1 writer of this report, but the House is
j not called upon to decide the qucs
; tion at this moment. The House must
decide, first, Avhether t desires sub?
stantial restriction at all; second,
whether the Uliterarcy test is a step
; in favor Of substantial restriction.
The Commissioner-General of immi?
gration ff>els that the difficulties in
the way of enforcemeiO this test are
great.
Perhaps he may he correct, but the
experience of this test in Australasia:
by no means indicates that the diffi?
culties arc unsurmountable or even ex
; cesslve. The committee feels that the
difficulties already surmounted by the
United States in enforcing exclusion
and in limiting Immigration exceed in
I perplexity the complications likely to
arise from an illiteracy test.
The illiteracy test in general and
this ld'1 In particular has been the
' subject <>f many favorable memorials
to Congress and .if many favorable
resolutions passed by trade unions and
'. .other organizations. Owing to the facti
that it is impossible to guess how i
ninny immigrants deceived the inspec
tors as to their ability to read und. i
write, no one Is competent to say how '
many immigrant's would have been
excluded under an illiteracy test had .
.any existed during the last year.

Stone in Bladder Removed
Without Surgical Operation
In the spring of 1901 I was confined to
my bed with kidney trouble and thought
that I would never recover. 1 took a lot |
of medicine, but did not realize any benc- j
fit from anything. I finally saw Dr. Kil
irier's Swamp-Root advertisement and
sent for a sample bottle and thought the
sample bottle helped mc, so I bought
more of the medicine from my druggist,
and after using a few bottles discharged a
very large stone from my bladder.
After passing this stone my health was
very much improved, and I have been
able to continue my business without any
serious sickness.

Itcndv for Merchant marine.
Washingt m, Januarv *.' I.?President ;
Taft, addressing the lYelegatejg in the
National Merchant Marine Congress io
day at tho White ll?>u.se. declared that
not only was the country ready for
the creation of n merchant marine, but
Congress had discussed ihe measure
long enough to act on it promptly.
The President said he hoped the pros
ence of the delegates in Washington:!

of some kind of merchant marine leg?
islation.
Emphatic resolutions charging gross
discrimination on the part of the for?
eign steain.mip companies against
American manufacturers, and urging
Congress to take vigorous measures
to destroy "the. arrogant, alien mari?
time trusts." were unanimously adopt?
ed "to-day by the congress. The con?
vention also petitioned Congress for j
tho creation "of an independent steam- :
ship service of American ships, built!
for Hip naval reserve and to be lion- ,
estly and ably managed in Aniorican
Interests."
Representative A. J. Barch f eld. of i
Pillsburg, told tho delegates that Con-:
gress would pass some form of ship I
subsidy legislation at the present ses- ,
sion. but it would only be a com pr o- :
mise measure, affecting the mail ser?
vice to South America.
Jp.mcs Ii Ewcll, secretary of the eon- \
volition, spoke on the benefits that a i
merchant marine would have upon ex- I
j port trade of the country;
