:r:V YORK, Dec. 12. Nine hundred and
flxty-four dlRtlnulnhed men hesrd three
members of the cabinet of the United
Ktntes address the eleventh annual dinner

at the Waldorf-Astoria Inst night.
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

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. They

His brother.. Will Phillips, was arrested

Will had surrendered. He did not kno
that he was arrested and was unable to

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

that he was Justified ln committing the

reached there three more shots were fired.
Charles Hamilton and Pate returned to the
mill office and found Marshall Hamllto.i

DAKOTA HUSTLER IS GONE
Deatb of Ralph M. Cavanansh Re
moves Man Prominent In

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

number of the Florence residents, although

thing to do with his capture, and succeeded.
