ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE
CHIEF OF POLICE SHTPPT,
Called at House and After Shootlnff ;
Coachman and Chiefs Son, Stabbed
Chief -Is Thought to Be Member of
Black Hand Society Oiler, Thought
Wounded, Shoots His Would-be
Murderer Wlfo Sees Tragedy and
Informs Police.
Chicago, March 2. An attempt waa
made this morning at 9:15 by what is
thought to have been a member of the
"Black Hand" society, to assaalnata
Chief of Police Bhlppy. As a result vt
the attempt upon the chiefs life, the
chief, his son and his coachman are
now in the hospital seriously wounded
and the assassin Is in the morgue.
The assassin was evidently an Italian, -and
It Is thought he belonged to tha
"Black Hand" society. Shlppy was
about to leave his home for his office
at the city hall and had ordered his
carriage. James Foley; his driver,
had entered the hall and was waiting
for the chief to put on his overcoat
when the door bell rang. Harry 8hlp
py, the 19-year-old son of the chief,
admitted a man of dark complexion,
aged about 40. The man pushed past
the young man and offered a letter to
Chief Phlppy. The chief was about te
tear the letter open when the stranger '
with an oath pulled a revolver. Harry
Shlppy seeing that his father's life was
In danger, leaped forward to save him
and received three bullets, which were
Intended for his father. " The drfvef, ;
Foley, then attempted to save the boy
sni in turn was shot.la th . breast 'by s
the unknown assassin. The stranger '"
then stabbed the chief twice In the
rm. "As soon as the chief was able
to free himself from his overcoat he
drew his revolver and promptly shot
his assailant through the temple. Mra,
Bhlppy, who saw the tragedy, was proa.
trated, but retained her presence ot
mind sufficiently to rail up the police
department and Inform them of the
facts. It is thought that the son and
the driver will both die. AU are how
In the hospital, but It fn not thought
that the father's Injuries are of a very
serious nature,. . . ,. . .
The Chicago police have ordered the7
arrest of all anarchists and Black
Hand suspects after a notice to leave
.had been Issued. Assistant Chief
Bchuettler has been unable to Identify
the assassin by the Initials "D. A." on "
the underclothing. Lozenges bearing
the name Meadvllle, Pa., were found
In one pocket -i ..'..i"'i
