terest ss well. In a suit nledi late today
Ruef asks thaC he be. recompensed with

...quarters at Pacific avenue and Fillmore
"street. He names as defendants Judge

, Ham H. Langdon. William J. Burns.
Francis J. Heney and William J. Biggy.
arid asks the court to order these men
to pay -hlni ..the amount stated.
, , Explain Real Purpose. .
A statement . from . Ruefs camp con
tained the announcement that the real
purpose of the suit was, not to obtain
the money, but to show that until Janu
ary 8. 1908. the prosecution had acted as
though it regarded the immunity con-,
tract is still in force. It was added that
should the court award the J4H59.95 to
Ruef, he would donate it to charity. Tne
prosecution Is inclined to regard this as
another little Joke on charity.
In his complaint Ruef reviews the his
'tory of his incarceration from the
memorable days In the St. Francis An
. nex. He goes once more Into the details
of the. immunity contract and. his. im
prisonment In the old Schmltz home at
Fillmore and Green streets.
Ruef then states that September 23,
1!K)7, William J. Blggy, who was serving
as special elisor, was appointed Chief of
Police. The complaint sets forth that at
that time Blggy conferred with .Jui,-e
Dunne, and then continues:
Biggy did stats and ray to this plaintiff
that unlttm this plaintiff would pay the
salary of the guards employed by said Blggy
. to watch over this plalntlfr and all the
expends of maintaining this plalntlfr In
custody, that this plalntlfr would be forth
with imprisoned in the city prison.
The said money was paid by this plaintiff
' upoli the express promise that he never
should be taken Into a public prison, but
should be permitted to withdraw his plea
and that all other Indictments returned
against him should be dismissed.
Paid Own Prison Expenses.
Between the dates of September 23.
18fl"..and January 8.. 1908. Ruef 'was
Imprisoned at,. Fillmore street and Pa-
t itle avenue, and paid the expenses of
the establishment out of his own pock
et. This is the money he seeks to re
cover, alleging that he was defrauded
out of the entire amount. -
r:uef argues that he paid it under an
agreement that he was not to be taken
tn tlie ( punty Jail. In his complaint,
he-refers to his own characterization
of 'the jail as "unfit for -human habita
tion." "Ruef will have his little joke," was
the only comment that came from the
prosecution.

ATTEMPTS TO KILL
(Continued From First Page.)
by Mr. Schuettler at times became so
hysterical that the police were forced to
cease their interrogation and allow Or.
Wall, the ambulance physician, to give
her stimulants.
According to Miss Averbuch. her brother
was a bookkeeper, having learned tha
business at a university in her native
land. "
When the .interview with Mr.
Schuettler was over. Miss Averbuch
was taken to the woman's annex of the
Harrison-street Police Station, where
ehe will be constantly under the eye
of two policemen, especially detailed
for that purpose.
Planned Crime With Anarchists.
While talking with the Assistant
Chief of Police, the. young woman as
serted her belief that her brother had
not deliberately planned to kill Mr.
Snippy. This assertion had little
weight with the authorities, however,
as they claim to have information ..that
the. would-be assassin held meetings
with, a number of his frlende in the
former's room every Sunday. It was
here, say the police, that the young an
archist, inflamed by reading anarch
ist literature and listening to anarch
ist speeches, planned ' the details of
the crime which was attempted this
morniirg.
A guard of police, both in uniform
and In plain clothes, has been placed
about Averbuch's former boarding
house. They have instructions of the
most stringent sort to arrest any per
son they may see attempting to enter
the place or to arrest anyone in the
vicinity whose appearance gives war
rant for such action. N
After Miss Averbuch had been taken
away, Mr. Schuettler divulged some of
the story he had gathered from the
woman, although this was fragmen
tary, owing to the mental stress under
which the prisoner labored. - -,- -Made
Desperate by Illness. "
Lazarus Averbuch, she said to Mr.
Schuettler, when he first came to Chi
cago, obtained employment, through
his slBter's efforts. In the printing
plant of Tony Rubovits ft Co. The
financial depression coming on this
firm dispensed with his services. He
sought in' vain for work ind, as he
met repeatedly with failure, he be
came so desponde'nt "that he threatened
to commit suicide. By optimistic argu
ments she persuaded him 'to bear up
like a man' and wait for better times.'
Her encouragement, she told the police,
saved him from a suicide's grave, and
three weeks ago he obtained work as
an egg-candler ' In the " commission :
house of Eichengreen & Co. He was'
not popular with his fellow-workers,
however, for their antagonism and :
suspicions were aroused by the anarch
istic sentiments which ' he expressed.
He became more unpopular after the
police had interfered with the parade
of the "unemployed." This clash be
tween the paraders and constituted au
thority In the form of the bluecoats
aroused him to greater excesses -in his
denunciation of the law and of those
who enforce iT
Mind Inflamed by Parsons.
Prior to the parade Averbuch had at
tended a meeting at Brands' Hall, where
Lucy Parsons delivered a vitriolic har
rangue with its particularly inflammatory
portions directed mainly at Mr. Shippy.
Even Reitman objected to Mrs. Parsons'
speech, but apparently her utterances
sank deep into the mind of young Aver
buch. ,
Averbuch's hostility against the Chief
reached its culmination when the Chief
was quoted as saying Emma Goldman,
who had announced her intention of com
ing to Chicago, would not be allowed to
speak publicly during her visit.
Full of Russia's Wrongs.
"My brother was an enthusiastic boy,"
said Miss Averbuch, "and the wrongs of
our people ln.Russia affected him deeply,
but he knew America was different That
is why we came here. I had been in Amer
ica three years and knew more about it
than he, so I kept close watch over him.
He never was out nights later than 10
o'clock and could not have taken part in
any meetings. He read a great deal,
dealing with the sorrows and trials of
the Jewish people in Russia. He was
deeply Interested In the writings of men
who are seeking to remedy conditions In
Russia."
The young woman said her brother's
full name was Laxarus Ludovltch Aver
buch. but that Harry was a pet name she
used. '".'
A fellow-employe in the commission
house, who said his name -was Miller,
coroborated the statements as to Aver
buch's hostility toward the police.
"Averbuch," said Miller, "would talk to
us on anarchy, saying that all govern
ments were wrong and that the only way
,for people to get .their rights was for
some one to act. After the Chiefs state
ment that Emma Goldman - would not be
allowed to talk, Averbuch talked some
what less, but seemed to be brooding."
Had Head of Degenerate.
Dr. O. W. Luke, Coroner's ' physician.
after examining the body of Averbuch at
the undertaking '-establishment, said that
according to all the theories of scientists,
the man was a degenerate. "That is," said
Dr. Luke, "there were anatomical pe
culiarities of the- man's head and palate
that conform closely to the types which
Lombroso and other eminent criminolo
gists have declared to Indicate degeneracy
and an inclination to criminality. His
palate was high arched and narrow and
the skull plate was very thin, both of
which abnormalities are among the chief
Indications of degeneracy."
Among the books found -in Averbuch's
room tonight were several volumes of
poems by Russian and American authors
and books on sociological problems, issued
by the Social Revolutionist party at Paris
and written in the Russian language. A
number of letters were found and trans
lations are being made tonight. If
Averbuch had confederates, it is hoped
through these to . obtain clews to their
identity.
HUNTING DOWN ANARCHISTS
Police Raid Their Haunts Grand
Jury Will Indict.
CHICAGO, March 2. After the at
tack squads of police were sent Into
the Italian and Ghetto districts of
the city. Places known as headquar
ters of secret societies suspected of
anarchistic tendencies were raided, and
before midnight a score or more of ar
rests had been made. A Coroner's in
quest over the body of the Anarchist was
also started, and States Attorney Healy
announced that the March grand Jury of
Cook County, which was convened today,
will be given an opportunity to investi
gate Anarchistic organizations in an at
tempt to fasten responsibility for the at
tack upon its instigators. It was also
reported that the Mayor intends to Issue
an order forbidding all street- meetings,
the' allegation being made that . such
gatherings, whether of a 'political or re
ligious nature, are often made the oc
casion for vicious attacks upon the social
order.
The Attack is believed to have been the
result of a widespread conspiracy to harm
officials who have been active in sup
pressing manifestations of Anarchy in
this community. Four city of flolals are
said to have been threatened and a police
spy who recognised the corpse . of the
man who mVaded Mr. Shippy's home as
that of a person who regularly attended
Anarchist meetings asserted that the man
was chosen by lot to do away with not
only the Chief of Police but Mayor Busse.
The ramifications of the plot are said o
have extended to other .cities and to be
closely connected wtth . th killing of
Father Leo Heinrlchs. a Roman Catholic
priest, who was shot down at the altar
of his "church in Denver.
Anarchist Literature Seized.
One of the places raided by the po
lice after the shooting was the head
quarters of a society known as "The
Edelstadt Group," at427 Union street.
Pictures of Herr Most and other well
known, anarchists- were confiscated, as
were also about 1000 handbills an
nouncing a series of meetings at which
Emma Goldman was scheduled to speak.
Qne of these meetings was announced
for March 6 and another for March 9.
A library a' short distance away was
also invaded by the police, and several
hundred pamphlets dealing with an
archy and kindred subjects were seized.
This library was raided after the shoot
ing of President McKlnley, and many
volumes were seized and destroyed.
Will Find the Instigators.
Regarding the proposed investigation
by the grand Jury, the State's attorney
said:
"The investigation will not stop with
'the: dupes who ' undertake assassina
tions, but will go back to the instiga
tors. We shall follow the precedent es
tablished at the time of the famous Hay
market riots. There .is no specific stat
ute on the subject on anarchy In Illi
nois, but If r can be shown that the at
tempt to kill ,was the result of an
agreement the conspiracy statute will
apply. ' ' . ' . i .
"Instigators can also be beld as prin
cipals." .- Art importunate of flceseeker, who en
countered Mayor Busse shortly after
the latter's' Tetun . from1 the Shippy
home, caused a commotion in the City
Hall, and the occurrence gave rise to
a rumor that a wholesale plot had been
made against city officials, but this was
at once denied.
Anarchy Never More Dangerous.
Today's attack gave significance to
a statement made by Mr. Shippy a
month- ago, when he commented on- a
report made to him by one of his sub
ordinates of. an anarchist meeting held
immediately after the assassination of
the King and Crown Prince of Portu
gal. oever In the history of Chicago,"
said he at that time, "have anarchists
and other enemies of law and order
been more dangerous than they are at
the present time. The police are watch
ing all of their movements closely.
You never know when they are going
to break out." r
He declared then that war upon the
anarchists in Chicago will be prose
cuted with greater vigor than ever be
fore. "As long as I am Chief of Police,
there never will be another parade of
anarchists," he said.
ESCAPED BY HIS QUICKNESS
Shippy's Son Also Interfered In Nick
of Time.
CHICAGO, March 2. That the at
tempt to kill Mr. Shippy resulted In
failure was due largely to the police
man's quickness In anticipating the
purpose of his visitor's presence. The
man had twice called at the house and
asked for the chief, first yesterday, when
he was told that Mr. Shippy was at work,
and again early this morning, when a
servant Informed him that the chief could
not be seen before 9 o'clock. When he
rang the doorbell at the latter hour the
chief himself answered the call.
Shippy's Story of Attack.
"As I opened the door,'! said Mr.
Shippy, later, describing the attack, "the
man raised his hat and I allowed him to
step Into the hallway. He handedl me an
envelope. I glanced at it. and then the
thought struck me that the man was up
to some wrong. He looked like an an
archist. I grabbed his arms, ' and called
to my wife, who was In another room.
When she ran Into the hallway, I said:
" 'Mother, see if this man has a re
volver.' "She felt one of his back pockets and
said that he had- I tried to hold him
with one hand and craw my revolver
with the other, but he jerked away and
fell against the door. I caught him again,
and while we were struggling, my son,
who was upstairs, started to my aid. He
was only a few steps from the bottom
of the stairs when the man freed one
hand, drew his revolver, and fired two
shots at Harry. Then Foley, who had
been summoned by my daughter, stepped
into the hallway and the man shot him.
"The anarchist kicked my wife to one
side and by this time I had secured my
own revolver, and both Foley and I
opened fire. At my first shot, which
struck him In the head, he fell. But I
fired three more, one in his head and two
in his body. Two of Foley's shots also
struck the assassin."
Both the chief and Mrs. Shippy assert
that the former's life was saved by the
bravery -of her son. The young man,
who is IS years olH is a student at Culver
Military Academy, Culver, Ind. He was
at home because of illness and hastened
to his father's aid when be heard the
struggle In the hall.
Shippy Saved- by Brave Con.
"The man had drawn a great knife
and had lunged at my husband." said
Mrs. Shippy this afternoon. "The blade
struck him In the shoulder. The knife
was drawn back ready for another blow
when Harry struck the man's hand and
knocked the weapon to the floor. The
man kicked me to one side and the shots
came, Harry falling, and, I saw blood on
his ' chest. . He exclaimed, 'Papa, I'm
shot;' but he saved his father's life."
"I saw -the man on the porch," said
Georgetta ' Shippy. "When I heard
mamma scream I called to Foley and
then ran into the hall. I saw the knife.
and saw Harry rush in. Foley came in,
she shooting began, and It was all over
so soon that I do not know just how
it all happened. Harry is not afraid of
anything, and " he certainly saved fa
ther's life."
"I might have been shot and killed
if the boy had not come to mj assist
ance," said the Chief. . "Mother was too
terrified to do anything. - She was
helpless as soon as she felt the revolver
in the man's pocket."
Harry Shippy May Recover.
Harry Shippy was the most severely
hurt of those injured, in today's affray.
Although the bullet from the assassin's
revolver passed completely through his
body Just above the heart, it was said
tonight that his chances of recovery were
favorable.. His father was stabbed. In
the arm, and Mr. Foley received a bullet
in the wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by
the desperado but her hurts are slight.
DENIES MAX IS AJf ANARCHIST
Emma Goldman. Believes Averbuck
Was Only Some Fanatic.
SPRINGFIELD. Mo..' March 2. Emma
Goldman, the anarchist lecturer, arrived
here tonight from St. Louis and receive'd
her first account of the attack upon
Chief of Police Shippy, of Chicago. She
said:
Of course the man had to be an
Anarchist, if he tried to kill anybody.
Somebody kills somebody else or tries
to shout him, and the world, the offi
cers and the newspapers cry "Anar
chist." The dispatch says the dead man
is unknown and unidentified, and yet
the officers call him an Anarchist. I
know nothing whatever about the af
fair, but I would be willing to guar
antee that the man was not an Anar
chist, but some fanatic or somebody
with a private grudge against Shippy.
Mayor Blaine wanted to prevent the
appearance of Miss Goldman s a sneaker
In Springfield tonight, but an attorney
told him there was no law under which
he could Interfere. There were police at
the meeting, but there was no disturb
ance of any kind.
ECHO ' OF HAYMARKET RIOT
Denver Chief Tells , Reason for
Shippy's Murder.
DENVER, March 2. The attempted as
sassination of Police Chief Shippy in Chi
cago dates back to the Haymarket riot,
in the opinion of Chief of Police Michael
Delaney, of this city, lor?" a personal
friend of Chief Shippy.
"It was largely, through Shippy's ef
forts," said Chief Delaney. "that anarch
ists responsible for the Haymarket crime
were broken up and the members either
hanged, imprisoned or driven out of the
country.
'"Since then Chief Shippy has been con
nected with every important Chicago case
where anarchists have been involved and
while recent events may have led di
rectly to the attempt upon his life at this
time. I believe that the Chief's connection
with the Haymarket riots is back of the
"whole thing."

CINCINNATI. O.. March 2. While cele
brating mass yesterday at St. Peter's Ca
thedral, Rev. Michael Mulvihlll, pastor
of the cathedral, was guarded by police
In citizen's clothes.
