CHICAGO, March 2. The would-be
assassin of Chief of Police George M.
Hhlppy was tonight Identified as
Lazarus Averbuch, a Russian student
of presumably anarchistic tendencies.
Chief Shippy, attacked In his home,
No. 31 Lincoln place, at 9:30 A. M. to
day by Averhuch. shot and killed the
later, but Trot until his assailant had
stabbed him in the arm. had shot and
dangerously wounded Harry Shippy, a
ron of the police official, and had
wounded James Foley, a member of
the police department detailed as
driver for his superior.
The.youn.ror Shippy was said at a
late hour tonight to have a good
chance of recovery. Neither of the
other men was dangerously hurt.
Averbuch was 23 years oid. For
three weeks he had lived with two sis
ters at the home of Mrs. Harry Fine,
21S Washburn avenue, in the western
portion of the "city. He had been in
America only three months, having
eoroe direct here from Austria, whither
he fled from Kishinev two years ago
to escape the persecution of the Jews
In that city.
Motive for Attack Discovered.
Through information received from a.
sister of the dead man and from a fellow
employe In a produce commission-house,
where Averhuch had recently been em
ployed, it was learned that Mr. Shlppy's
Interference several weeks ago with a
parade of unemployed men headed by
Dr." Ben L. Heitman through the streets
of Chicago, coupled with the more recant
announcement that Dmma Goldman, the
anarchist, would not be allowed to speak
In public In this city, led Averbuch to at
tempt to "remove" the police head in
Russian "terrorist" fashion.
Fourth Attempt to See Shippy.
Averbuch's attempt upon the chief's life
today was the fourth effort he had made
to accomplish his purpose. Twice on Sun
day he visited the house, but was unsuc
cessful in finding his Intended victim at
home At 1 o'clock this morning he made
his. third appearance, but was informed by
a servant that the chief could not be seen
till o'clock. When he returned at t
o'clock the chief was on the point of leav
ing for his office. When admitted at the
front door Averbuch handed the chief an
envelope bearing hie name and address,
but the latter, having heard of the previ
ous visits to his home, suspected that
something was wrong and seized him by
the arms. The envelope, which was found
later to be only a ruse to gain entrance,
contained only a blank sheet of paper.
lAte Saved by Quickness.
The quickness with which the Chief
acted upon his suspicion doubtless saved
his life. Averbuch. though slight in build,
proved in his desperation almost a match
for the Chief, who Is much larger, and
the latter found himself unable to hold
at the same time. He therefore called to
his wife, who was In the next room,
asking her to ascertain whether the man
had a weapon in his pockets. Mrs. Shippy
discovered a revolver ' in Averbuch's
pocket, but before she could remove it
he struggled loose from the grasp of the
Chief and, drawing a long knife, stabbed
the Chief in the arm." Thereupon the
Chief grappled again with his assailant.
who drew a revolver.
At that moment Harry Shippy. 19 years
old, came rushing down the stairway to
his father's aid. .Averbuch" fired two
shots, one of which struck young Shippy
who fell seriously wounded. . Before
Averbuch could Are again, James Foley,
the Chlcf's driver, attracted by the shoot'
ing. ran to the door and seized Averbuch.
The assassin struggled loose . from the
embrace and fired a shot, which pierced
Foley's hand.
Empty Revolvers Into Htm. .
Thereupon both Mr. Foley and Mr.
Shippy emptied their revolvers into Aver
buch s body. One bullet entered the
man's breast near the heart and another
passed through his head. The revolver
dropped from his fingers and he died
without a groan. Throughout the strug

except to say in good English: "It's all
right," as the Chief seized him, referring
to the envelope which-he had offered the
police official. ,
When the wounded boy was taken
away the Chief issued' orders "to- the txf
Hoe to round up all of the known an
artists in the city. After working all
day, Lieutenant Alcock, with two de
tectives, , took Olga Averbuch when she
returned from a South Side dressmaking
establishment, where she was employed.
Without loss of time she was taken to
Bentley's undertaking rooms, where the
body of the. would-be assassin lay. They
reached the place just as a phrenologist
was completing his investigation and de
scription of Averbuch's head anc hand.
The young woman approached the body
with two detectives supporting her. She
took one look at the corpse and became
hysterical.
"Oh Mama, Mama, It Is Harry," she
sobbed, throwing herself on her brother's
form and kissing his lips again and! again.
.She .remained- thus for several minutes
until pulled back by the officers. She
attempted to cling to her brother's form
and her screams of protest at; being re

taken to the office ot Assistant; Chief of

"Transplanted Bnd of Alleged
French Nobility." Declares
Florida Representative.
WASHINGTON, March 2. A variety of
subjects was considered by the House
today. . A resolution was passed author
izing the Immigration committee to in
vestigate charges of peonage in certain
states. In the debate on that question,
Clarke, of Florida, denounced Assistant
Attorney-General Russell In connection
with certain prosecutions in Florida and
referred sarcastically to Attorney-General
Bonaparte. There followed a lively
discussion of a bill to deport, after the
serving of their sentence, all aliens con
victed of felony. The measure ' was de
feated. Four hundred pension bills and a few
other private bills were passed at the
rate of 10 a minute, and the remainder
of the time was consumed in considering
the postoffice appropriation bill, which
will be discussed for several days.
An important bit of legislation was of
fered by Hepburn, of Iowa, through a bill
Imposing a tax of 30 cents per hundred
shares -on atook -or agreements. to sell.
"Smell of the Slums."
' In a bitter criticism of the Department
of Justice. Clarke declared that the State
of Florida was prepared to answer the
accusations "of peonage", slavery, invol
untary servitude, brutal -and inhuman
treatment of laborers" In publications
which smell of the slums and In some of
the most remarkable documents emanat
ing from the Department of Justice of
the United States, which, he charged,
were absolutely "false In all essential par
ticulars. The people of Florida,' he as
serted, courted the fullest Investigation
of a matter which had done so much
Injury to the fair name of the state. He
predicted that these people will come
through the ordeal of Investigation with
out the smell of fire upon their gar
ments and In spite of the batteries of
slander which for the past year have been
belching their infamous slum-begotten
fabrications."
Fallen Into Evil Times.
The Department of Justice, Clarke
charged, had never been especially dis
tinguished for the legal knowledge of the
"alleged lawyers who are generally sup
posed to be housed therein,'1 but usually
"something of a lawyer" had been at its
head. He feared that the country had fallen
into evil times with reference to the "big
chief of the Department." Whatever may
be the qualifications of Attorney-General
Bonaparte, he said, that official had been

He .referred to Mr. . Bonaparte as "the
transplanted bud of alleged French no
bility," who had become acquainted with
a lady bearing the euphonious cognomen
of Mrs. Mary Grace Quackenbos, whose
field ' of labor previous to her acquaint
ance with the great Baltimore Jawyer was
in -the slums of the East Side of dear old
Manhattan Isle." He .presumed, therefore,
that Mr. Bonaparte considered "this great
slum-worker a very proper-person to send
to Florida' to .regulate conditions In the
South." i i

Clarke next turned his attention to As

SQUARE DEAL ON CONTESTS
Only Doubtful Element Is
Roosevelt Enthusiasm.
STRONGEST IN THE SOUTH
Democrats Admit if Roosevelt Were
Nominated, He Might Split Solid
South, but, Northern Repub
licans Will Decide.
(Walter Wellman to Chicago Record
Herald.)
WASHINGTON, March 2. Speclal.)-
.The friends of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft are In the majority in the
Republican National Committee. This
fact has been ascertained beyond the
possibility of doubt. The significance of
it is very great. It means that' no spu
rious contests from the South or else
where can get before the convention ex
cept in a minority report. It means that
the plot to create contest, confusion and
chaos cannot succeed. It means, with
little more than the shadow of 'uncer
tainty, the nomination of Mr. Taft on
the first ballot. And jt any period of
waiting and of perplexity- comes to that
convention the nominee will not be an
opponent of the Administration but the
chief of the Administration himself.
Square Deal on Contests.
' The policy of the Admlnlstration-Taft
leaders as to contests from the South or
elsewhere is this: - President Roosevelt
and Judge Taft anp both In favor of It,
and .that settles It. -
To give -a square deal, to have sub
committees patiently hear all . contests;
to seat -the legal, . regular delegates, no
matter whetaer they are for the Adniin-istration-Taft
programme or not.
..On account of the-efforts of the ene
mies of the .President and of Mr. Taft
to stir up contests and scandals In the
South, the Taft managers recently de
termined to ascertain exactly where they
stood In the National Republican Com
mittee. They knew the convention was
to be with them a Roosevelt-Taft con
ventionbut did they have the National
Committee? ' Would ' their opponents be
able to bring in majority reports in fa
vor of the seating of trumped-up dele
gates from the South? '
Sure Majority in Committee.
Inquiries were made'as to the predilec
tions of all the members of the National
Committee. Nothing was left to chance
or to luck.. The facts were ascertained
In every case. There are 54 members of
the National. Committee, one from. -each
state and territory " and the District of
Columbia. Thirtji-three of them are out-and-out
Roosevelt-Taft men and five or
six more .are much more likely to be
friendly than otherwise. Thus the Roosevelt-Taft
forces have a safe, clear, work
ing majority of . the committee. Their
strength on any square proposition can
not be less than 3S to 21, and It is much
more likely to be nearly 40 to 14. With
the committee to pass on contests and
the , convention to uphold the majority
reports, the Roosevelt-Taft people are
not doing -much worrying over the South
ern conspiracy of their opponents.
At the same time. It Is true that prac
tically the only danger to the success of
the Taft movement and It is a very small
menace lies in the feeling among South
ern Republicans, for the greater part of
the Republicans ot the North have gladly
accepted Mr. Taft as a substitute for Mr.
Roosevelt. The North understands Mr.
Taft as a great, big man. on his own ac
count one of the biggest and strongest
men we have ever had in our public life.
It is true that In some parts of the West
they still hanker for "Teddy." But the
vast majority of Northern Republicans,
even including a goodly part of those liv
ing in states having "favorite sons," are
heartily and warmly for Mr. Taft, because
they believe he will make a -great Presi
dent, if elected.
South Crazy for Roosevelt.
But all through the South, particularly
in states, where there is a real Republican
iarty, the demand for Mr. Roosevelt is
still strong so strong that it may show
Iter. Gharlea F. Aked, Pastor of 't
John D, RorkefeMer'a Church I
Im Sfw York. . J
'..
Itself In the convention, despite the plans
of the leaders. Why?- Because Mr.
Roosevelt Is far and away the moat popu
lar public man In the South since the
war. Grover Cleveland was ; never weH
liked in the South. Mr. Bryan. . though
still popular, has never regained the place
in the affections of the South ho held for
a few months i 1896, at the zenith of the
silver' craze, and when Mr. Bryan ap
peared to be the favorite of the fates.
Now Mr. Roosevelt's popularity In that
section' Is, according to the testimony bT
Democrats and Republicans alike, some
thing amazing. Democrats are as enthu-siastlc-'over
him as Republicans many of
them more so. - It Is not a class feelhig.
The leaders of affairs feel the same .way
as the masses of the people.
Democratic Senators and Representa
tives from the South admit in private con
versation -that, if Mr. Roosevelt were
nominated again, they would fear for
such states as Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis
souri, North Carolina and Florida. They
do .not admit Mr. Roosevelt could carry
them, or any of them, but 'with the
President as the nominee they know they
would have the erreatest fight they have
ever had to keep some of those states in
lillS.' .. - - - ;
But South Will Xot Nominate.
All the. signs of the times are that the
South is not to-'choose the candida'te. The
Northern Republicans,, who-.have to fur
nish: the. bulk of the ..electoral .votes If
thelr'ticket is'to succeed, intend to name
the' ticket themselves.' Nine out of ten of
them 'are for Mr.- Taft. . Heavy ' are the
probabilities -that, " even ' if "the Southern
brethren .convince trieirNorthern friends
they could carry Southern States for Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr.' Taft' would be nominated
just the same, barring accident, unexpect
ed upheavals or 'phenomtJnal public senti
ment during the next three -months. All
the developments ot public opinion and of
political agreement in' the Republican
ranks these days bring . us - back to the
principle which was laid down in the -dis
patches three months ago.- I
"It will be Taft or Roosevelt, and proba

CRY GRAFT IN T
MAYOR. ACCrSEb OF .TAKING
96000 FROM PAVIXG FIRM.
Wright Denies Charge and Calls
Accuser Liar Redliot Public
Meeting.
TACOMA. Wash., March 2. (Special.)
Fifteen hundred persons attended t he-
meeting- tonight when Charles Drury, can
didate for the Democratic nomination for
Mayor, in opposition to Mayor Wright,
made his promised expose of the paving
graft scandal of two years ago. The hall
only held about 200. and the greater part
of the crowd could not get in. - Mayor
Wright's friends were in a large majority
and there was a hot time.
Drury made the positive charge that
Mayor Wright had accepted J6000 from the
Barber Asphalt Paving Company with the
understanding that part of it wan to go
to certain Councilmen. He says-Wright
refused to divide, and the next, assess
ment roll was held up and the-money.
$3900, waa put in escrow until Mayor
Wright made a division. When the grand
Jury convened to hear the case, every of
ficial of the Barber Company was out of
the state.
Drury calls on the citizens to assist him
In getting the grand jury -to investigate
the case and dares Mayor Wright to sue
him for libel. Mayor Wright was at the
meeting and Drury gave him a chance to
reply, which the Mayor did, pronouncing
the charges a lie and declaring he had
never taken a cent of graft as. an official
or citizen and that it could not be proven
contrary.
Ex-City Attorney Anderson spoke and
said he believed tbe Mayor to be a grafter

'
Murder is the charge which Patrolman
Nathan H. Sultter must . face for killing
Henry Shaffer, a longshoreman, at Shaf
fer's home In Albina early Sunday night.
Suitter was arrested last night on an or
der from District Attorney Manning,
stripped . of his star, and murderous
weapon and. locked up In a cell on the
second floor of the City Jail. Mr. Manning
announced that he was prepared to Indict
the policeman and that the indictment
would be made out today charging second-degree
murder.
This summary action followed an In
quest into the manner of Shaffer's death
late yesterday afternoon. The inquest
was held at the Flnlcy chapel and de-
veloped Into little sbort of an Indigna
tion meeting before the end. Sultter was
openly hissed as he gave his story -of the
killing. One man spat at him aa he was
leaving the chapel, and several - curted
him
Jury Takes Prompt Action.
In less than ten minutes the Coroner's
jury ' decided that Suitter was not Justi
fied in any way for the killing. A writ
ten verdict to that effect was promptly
returned..' The members of the jury took
occasion to denounce Jacob Holzworth,
who called the police to Interfere in the
festivities attendant on Mrs. Shaffer's 30th
birthday. Holzworth, while on the stand,
admitted he held a bitter hatred for Shaf
fer, and when asked If he was glad
Shaffer was dead, said he wouldn't like to
answer, that question. Holzworth, too,
was hissed. .
Suitter's own story of the shooting was
possibly the most effective evidence in
causing the early verdict of the Coroner's
jury. His statement was made under oath
and later he signed a transcript of his
testimony. Inasmuch as - he spoke volun
tarily, It will be used against him in his
trial for murder.
Not only did Suitter's: testimony go to
show that the Shooting was altogether un
necessary, but it revealed him in the light
of an unutterable coward. He said he
was forced Into a corner by Shaffer.
There he drew his club and revolver and
stood at bay. He warned Shaffer not to
strike him, drawing his club and his re
volver and threatening 'to shoot. Shaffer
waa not cowed. f
. Threatened to Shoot."
'I told him if he struck me I would
shoot," Sultter said. "Shaffer said to
shoot, he wasn't afraid, and came at me.
I hit at him the best I could with my
left hand. He grabbed my left hand and I
fired.. He kept on coming and I kicked at
him, and then, when that didn't work, I
fired two more shots."
It was this statement that was met with
hisses from the hundred or more people
that thronged the chapel.
"Put him Inside, t ho bars," one man
called, and Coroner Flnley had to call
for order.
There was not a single Item of evi
dence tending to exonerate or mitigate
the policeman', conduct: Even Chief
of Police Grftzmacher, after having re
fused to suspend the officer pending an
Investigation, was used on the stand
as a witness against his subordinate.
The Chief was required to read an order
issued by him several months ago con
cerning the use of .firearms by police
men. . This order warned members f
the department to use their revolvers
only In serious cases, and where abso
lutely necessary. In cases of drunken
and disorderly persons, the order di
rected that officers should make ar
rests without resorting to revolvers or
else allow the offenders to escape.
Hence it. was shown that Sultter broke -explicit
orders when he shot Shaffer
for being disorderly.
Manning Takes a Hand.
"What waa the occasion of Issuing
that order?" Mr. Manning asked.
"Well, it was that Burkhart affair."
the Chief said, referring to the pre
vious occasion, last Summer, when
Suitter was handy with his gun, shoot
ing a disorderly salesman named Burk
hart, who now has a $10,000 damage
suit pending against the policeman.
There was a tragic minute in the In
quest when Mrs. Shaffer, widow of the
hia assailant and search him for
