Of then apeakers, the moat emphatic note Waa strudk by Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the. treasury, In a hitter ar ia iKnment of custom frauds, particularly at the port of New Tork. The other two, George W. Wlckersham, the attorney gen eral, and rhllander C. Knox, secretary of state, spoke along more general lines, the former emphasising, however, the neces sity of federal power, the Increase of which has been so much criticised. Secre tary Knox confined himself largely to tho ever Increasing co-operation of nations. Mr. MaeVengh' Addreaa. Concerning customs house frauds In New York, Secretary MacVeagh, said: "You know what we are trying to do for this city. We are trying to cut out a festering corruption. The undertaking needs the president back of It, and It would be Impossible for any man In any po sition to be more direct and normal In his outlook upon a Question of good gov ernment, or to be more resolved to back to the limit any Important and wise project of Improvement than President Taft. In what the Department of Justice and the Treasury department are undertaking to do at this port and In the leas Important but etlll Important thlnxs we shall at tempt to do at the other porta of the country, we have President Taft behind us." Mr. MacVeagh here praised William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port, for the work he has accomplished and continued: "I shall dwell upon one obstacle only, and that. Is, the Important Influence of the example of those rich or well to do travelers, who, for the sake of what they can make of It, are willing to evade lawful duties and sometimes to bribe in the bar- gain. A very serious consideration In this connection Is the lack of sufficient public opinion to old. in correcting these prac tices." , , Brilliant Affair. The dinner tonight was a brilliant affair. Healed under the time-honored portrait of W llilurn Venn, and the emblazeined coat of arms of the state of. Pennsylvania, waa the society's president, Andrew Carnegie.

Yet Mr. Reed be Talcs of Roosevelt Hunt Cause Mirth in Africa NAIllom, British East Africa, Dec. 12. The reading public here has found vast amusement ln press clippings from America dealing with the game killing experiences of Colonel Roosevelt. While recognising the piowess of the former president, they are somewhat, amazed at the effect of his achievements upon, the minds of his coun trymen, particularly at the iacredullty ex hibited In some Instances toward very ordinary happenings and the trusting faith ln other cases with which some really outrageous yarns are accepted. They receive with skepticism the fact, for example, that Colonel Roosevelt has been charged by twelve hippopotami In Lake Nalvsha, killing a few and escaping scot free, and yet take readily to stories of th bagging of strange birds and mammals which have hitherto triumphantly dodged soologlcal classification. Without detracting from the glory of the hunter, east African residents do not look with a great deal of interest upon the mere slaying of Hons and such small fry.

He asserted that he had Just returned to Omaha and that he was ready and willing to face a Jury on the charge, but he ex pected to receive clemene-y because Ham ilton wrecked his home. When asked why he surrendered he said: "What's the use." Arrest of Hie Brother. His brother.. Will Phillips, was arrested on August 6, but according to tne siaio ment of James Phillips last night they had agreed to surrender to the officers. Ho told Deputy Galloway that he thought that Will had surrendered. He did not kno that he was arrested and was unable to explain why he did not give himself up at that time. In talking to The Bee reporter last night he asserted that he did not wish to make a statement further than to say he thought that he was Justified ln killing the man who wrecked his home and that with th aid f an attorney he thought that he would be able to convince a Jury that his homo had been wrecked by Hamilton and that he was Justified ln committing the crime. When searched at the county prison Phillips had a pocketknlfa, a Bible and a purse containing 8 cents. He explained that he had more money, but not with him at that time. He did not say anything about where It was, but It Is supposed that It Is In the possession of relatives, who will assist him ln eonductlng his defense. Phillips was locked up in the solitary coll.

Pate answered the alarm and Phillips, who was accompanied by- hid brother, asked if Hamilton was at homo. Being Informed that he was, he stepped inside and as he did so Pate stepped out side. Phillips then walked vver to the cot where Hamilton was lying and fired two shots at him. Pete heard ' the report and ran to tha home of Charles Hamilton, a few yards away, and as he reached there three more shots were fired. Charles Hamilton and Pate returned to the mill office and found Marshall Hamllto.i lying on the ground at Uio side of the porch and within twenty teet of the river bank. Phillips and his brother were gone. Phillip and his wife lived , a short distance from the mill office Phillips was engaged as a truck gardener. Pate and Hamilton then - notified Marshall Marr of Florence of the shoot ing, who ln turn notified the coroner and Deputy Sheriff Thompson of Florence. The men returned and found the body of Marshall Hamilton lying in the name position as wnen Pute, and Hamilton re turned from the latter's home. Marshall Hamilton was shot twice ln the head,' Five shot were fired, but only one took effect. Frank Cormany, Three Daughters and Hi Brother Break Through Ice at Kent, Ohio. KENT, O., Dec. 12.

Cavanansh Re moves Man Prominent In Eighties. . PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 12. (Special.) In the death of Ralph M. Cavanaugh at New York a few days ago, one of the old-lime hus tlers of Dakota territory of . the early 'S0j Is gone. Cavanaugh was connected with the Missouri Valley Townsite company, which platted the towns of Huron and Pierre and which later ventured on the town of Falrbank. on th.. Missouri river, in western 'Sully county. The indications were favorable at one time for an exten sion of the Northwestern line from Red field to Falrbank, before the line was built out to Gettysburg. Kverything wus planned by the .boomers to place a rival to Pierre on the river ln Sully county, but the head officials of the Northwestern road vetoed the construction of the line of iall way which had been surveyed and located. Falrbank was a hustling frontier town for a year, and when the railroad plan was abandoned It gradually "faded an ay," and at the present time a lone ranch housj marks the place where Cavunaugn had succeeded in planting a town of about 500 population on the strength of what ilu Noithwesteru would do for the place. Officers Begrln Search. The officers begun searching for the Phillips brothers as soon as the crime was discovered, but were unable to get any trace of them. It was learned later that they followed the railroad tracks to Gibson. It was stated by Will Phillips, after' he was arrested, that he and Jim separated on Tuesday night, after the shooting, at Forty-fifth and Leavenworth streets and nothing has been heard of the elder brother until early this morn ing, when he surrendered. Phillips does not have the appearance of a criminal. He is an Intelligent looking young fellow between the ages of 30 and 36 years. His hands 'show that he has been working at hard labor. Mrs. Mabel Phillips, wife of James Phil- Hps, was afraid that he would return horn and kill her. As a result, her home was guarded for several weeks. The country in the vicinity of Florence and other places where It was thought that he might have friends who would assist him, were care fully watched. A reward of $200 Is reported to have been offered by Governor Shallenberger for the apprehension of Phillips, and the latter ex pressed a degree of satisfaction after be ing locked up to know that none of his en emies would be able to assist ln arresting him. lie seems to bear malice toward a number of the Florence residents, although he did not Bay who they were.
