WORK OF ANARCHIST
Attempts to Kill Chief Shlppy, ol
Chicago Police.
FIGHTS HARD TO THE VERY LAST
Assailant Slain by Chlaf After Wound
ing Four Peraona— Dead Man
Had Plotted Long.
Chicago,'March 3.— The would-be
assassin of Chief of Polioe George M.
Shippy was laat night identified aa Laz
arus Averbuch, a Russian student of
presumably anarchistic tendencies.
Chief Sbippy, attacked in his home.
No. 31 Lincoln place, at 9:30 a. m.
yesterday by Averbuch, shot and killed
the latter, but not until his assailant
had stabbed him in the arm and shot
and dangerously wounded Harry Ship-
py, a eon of the police official, and had
wounded James Foley, a member of
the police department detailed as
driver for his superior.
The younger Shippy was said at a
lute hour last night to have a good
chance of recovery. Neither of the
other men was dangerously hurt.
Averbuch’s attempt, upon the chief’s
life was the fourth effort he had made
to accomplish his purpose. Twice on
Sunday he visited the house, but was
unsuccessful in finding his intended
viotim at home. At 7 o’clock yesterday
morning he made his third appearance,
but was informed by a servant that the
chief could aot be seen till 9 o’clock.
When he returned at 9 o’clock the chief
was on the point of leaving for his
office. When admited at the front door
Averbuch handed the chief an envelope
bearing his name and address, but the
latter, having heard of the previous
visits to his home, suspected that
something was wrong and Beized him
by the arms. The envelope which was
found later to be only a ruse to gain
entrance, contained only a blank sheet
ol paper. 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
bis assailant and search him for weap
ons 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 pooketa.
Mrs. Shippy discovered a revolver in
Xverbuch’s pocket, but before she could
remove it he struggled loose from the
grasp of the chief and, drawing a long
knife, stabbed he 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 stair
way to his father’s aid. Averbuch fired
two shots, one of which struck young
Shippy, who fell seriously wounded.
Before Averbuch could fire again, James
Foley, the chief’s driver, attracted by
the shooting, ran to the door and Beized
Averbach.
The assassin
struggled
loose from the embrace and fired a
shot, which pierced Foley’s hand.
Thereupon both Mr. Foley and Mr.
Shippy emptied their revolvers Into
Averbuch’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.
FATE IN DOUBT.
Seattle Fair Bill May Not Get By Its
House Opponents.
Washington, March 3.— The mem
bers of the Washington congressional
delegation are somewhat concerned over
the manifest unfriendliness shown by
the Republican leaders in the house
toward the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo
sition bill. W hile they feel reason
ably certain that they will ultimately
secure an appropriation for government
buildings and exhibits, they realize
that the opposition of the “ strong men”
of the house is likely to make it difficult
to get as much money as they really
need, and they believe that a further
reduction in their b ill will be injur
ious.
When the senate passed the Piles
bill it went to the house, and Bhould
have been referred to the committee on
industrial arts and expositions, before
whioh the Humphrey bill was pending.
Instead it was referred to the commit
tee on ways and means on the lame ex
cuse that the bill contained a provision
authorizing the admission, free of duty,
o f exhibits from foreign nations. This
committee is antagonistic to the bill.
Gets Evidence On Rebating.
Ban Francisco, March 3.— Raymond
Benjamin, assistant attorney general of
the state, returned yesterday from Loe
Angeles, where he had been investigat
ing the alleged rebating practices of
the Santa Fe and Salt Lake railroads.
He brought with him a long report
prepared during the fortnight he spent
in the Southern city. On Thursday the
railroad commission w ill begin its in
vestigation of the rehating methods of
the Southern Pacific company.
Averse to Japs as Citizens.
Vancouver, B. C., March 3.— Whole

Japanese, which it is expected will be
a test of eligibility of the brown men to
citizenship and the rights of fishing on
the British Columbia salmon grounds,
have been filed by E. A. Lucas and
were today announced at the opening of
tbs March sitting of the County court.

Captain Cox stated today that be had
not decided just when the police would

house. Captain Cox stated this after
noon that he would leave with at least
26 trusted men, others to follow as fast
as they were drilled and shown their
duties. Instructors w ill be maintained
in this city to qualify the reserves for

Wednesday, March 4
Washington, March 4 . — Currency
legislation was the subject ol consider
ation in the senate today. Heyburn
opposed the Aldrich bill and declared
it was useless and he would not vote
for it.
Perkins spoke at length in support
of the bill.
Bailey stated that he
would speak on the bill Monday and
Depew w ill speak on Friday. Aldrich
announced that he hoped to have a
vote on the measure next Wednesday.
A canvass of the senate made to as
certain the sentiment in regard to the
bill indicates that there w ill be more
Democratic senators for it than Repub
lican senators against it. Since the
speech by Smith, of Michigan, in op
position to the railroad bond feature it
has been stated persistently that there
is a Republican defection that endai •
gere the passage of the bill.
Washington, March 4.— The agricul
tural appropriation bill has been agreed
upon by the house committee on agri
culture and probably will be reported
to the house tomorrow. The bill car

reduction of $1,420,005 from the de
partmental estimate, and an excess of
$1,948,066 over the amount appropri
ated for the current year.

The opposition of Japan to the exten

it being contended that her sole object
in this regard is to eliminate any possi

Great Britain is now negotiating at
Tokio on the question of trademarks,
and one newspaper says:
“ It is difficult toconvince Japan that
no satisfactory solution can be con

are at variance with the commercial
morality of civilized nations.”
It is considered essential in English
circles here that Great Britain Bhould
press new trademark laws upon Japan.

day in considering a paragraph in the
army appropriation bill appropriating
$26,0t)0u for the purchase of 6,000 acres
of land near,Washington, D. C., for a

Mann, Illinois, opposed
the proosition and ridiculed the idea of
paying $40 an acre for such property.
After the provision had been further
debated, it was stricken out on a point
of order by Mann.
The last paragaph of the bill also
met an obstruction in Mann, who vigo
rously attacked the proposition it in
volved of giving the chief of ordnance
discretion in purchasing ordnance sup
plies without publicly divulging their
ingredients, and the provision went out
on a point of order.
The bill then was passed, carrying a
total appropriation of $84,767,666. ^

Washington, Feb. 28.— Long W in

large expenditures for the mainten
ance of the Alaskan insane. The 5

insufficient for the demands.
Consideration of the Indian appro

Washington, Feb. 28.— W ithout a

to the army appropriation bill the

The house took up an amendment

Thursday, February 27.
Washington, Feb. 27.— One of the
most dramatic scenes In the senate
was enacted today when Owen, of
Oklahoma, insisted, in tragis tones
and with face showing much emo
tion, that the five civilized tribes of
Indians were dead and that he, as a
member of the tribe of Cherokee In
dians, was not under the control of
the secretary o f the interior.
The
event was rendered all the more in
teresting by the fact that Owen was
sharply engaged In controversy by
Curtis, o f Kansas, himself a Kaw In
dian.
It was the first time that two men
with Indian blood in their veins had
ever locked horns as senators In the
senate chamber.
The controversy
arose in connection with the consid
eration of the Indian bill and was
precipitated by a motion on the part
o f Owen to have the bill, so amended
as to recognize the citizenship of five
civilized tribes of Indians by putting
the word “ late” before this designa-
tlqn, calling them the “ late five civ
ilized tribes.”
A fter further debate, in which
Owen, Curtis, Clapp, McCumber and
Lodge participated, Owen’s proposi
tion to designate the Indians as the
"la te five civilized tribes” was voted
down. Owen’s vote was the only one
in its support.

San Francisco, Feb. 29.— Wu T in g
Fang, for the second time appointed
Chinese minister to this country, ar
rived yesterday on the Pacific mall
liner Siberia, with a large retinue o f
secretaries and legation and consu
late attaches numbering 70 persons.
He brought with him new consuls for
Mexico, Havana, New York and San
Francisco, besides three nephews and
three secretaries and five other at
taches for the Chlaese legation at
Washington and 24 young students,
who w ill enter various schools and
colleges in this country.
A t the Pacific mail dock, where
the Siberia made fast, shortly before
1 o ’clock, a large number of Chi
nese from the local colony were on
hand with a brass band to greet their
minister. From the dock the minis
ter and his party were taken to the
Falrmount hotel, where a large num
ber o f suites had been reserved.
Minister Wu denied the report
that he was the bearer of an appeal
to Washington .asking this country
to assist in preserving the interests
o f China in Manchuria and protest
ing agaiust the alleged aggrandize
ment of Japan in that Province, but
admitted “ there was some local fric
tion.”
He professed to be Ignorant about
♦he Kan Tao boundary dispute be
tween China and Japan and the ex
tension o f the Hslnmlntln-Fukemeu
railroad, which has caused friction
between the tw o countries.
Asked whether he would endeavor
to secure some modification of the
exclusion law, Minister Wu said that
he had no particular instructions
from his government with reference
to that.

Japan 8*nd* Cruiser to Chin* to In

Toklo, Feb. 29.— The Japanese ar
mored cruiser Idzumt sailed yester
day from Shanghai for Hongkong,
where. It Is understood, Bhe will in
vestigate the seizure on February 7
by the Chinese customs cruisers o f
the steamer Tatsu Maru.
This movement is possibly Intend
ed as a demonstration against the
Chinese officials, although the fo r
eign office denies It has such an ob
ject In view; adding that negotia
tions are proceeding at Pekin and
that the Japanese flag has been re
stored to the Tatsu Maru.
The whole question of the seizure
o f the Tatsu Maru, which carried a
cargo of arms and other munitions,
now turns upon the character of the
merchant to whom the arms were
consigned. It Is believed that he is
a sympathizer of the revolutionists
in China, for whom the arms were
possibly intended.

The four democrats who made pos
sible an election have persistently re

they withdrew their support from
