CONFERENCE OF OFFICIALS
Chief shippy and Mayor Busse Confer Upon the Methods To Be Used In Clearing the City of
 All Anarchists.

Chicago, March S-Whle city, state and federal authorities put plans on foot to- day to stamp out anarchy in Chicago, the police department pursued with new vigor it's search through the haunts of radicals in the Ghetto district for anarchists who might have a connection with the at tempted assassination of Chief of Police Shippy yesterday.
 The net results of police activity during the day and evening was the round up of nine suspects. Three, which are consid- cred by the police as important, were made late in tlre afternoon. man who gave his name as Harry Goldstein, and who is said to be an agent of the Edelstat society, an anarchistic organization at 4o7 Union street, was taken into custody at Halstead and West One Hundred and Forty-eghth street while distributing hand bills of a rabid anarchistic nature. Two other suspects whose names were withheld were arrested and subjected to rigid examination at the city hall One was taken at Hastead and West Taylor streets and the other at Washington street and Fifth avenue in the loop dis trict A clew secured early in the day led to the arrest of Isadore Maron, who for a time was believed to be the "curly headed" companion of Averbuch, the would-be assassin, as described to the po- lice by Olga Averbuch, sister of the dead man.. This was later decided not to be the case, but Maron admitted sufficient acquaintance with Chicago anarchists to lead to his being placed in jail. Another clew led to the arrest of William Abram, 20 years of age, a Russian Jew, and a student at the University of Chicago night school, employed as printer in the day time. Ills "sweatip~" by the police lasted until late in the evening. The others under arrest were held more because of their affiliation with anarchistic societies than from any expression connecting them with the attempted assassination of the police head
 The organized movement against an- archy by the authorities began with conference at the home of Chief Shippy in which Mayor Busse and Assistant Chief of Police Shuettler took part. It resulted in a meeting being arranged for tomorrow at which the Mayor. the po- lice officials and States Attorney Healy will try to work out a plan of co-opera- tion. District Attorney Sims also met number of city officials in the Mayors S office and the question of federal assist ance in the rounding up of anarchists was taken up.
 Mir Sims after the conference declined to discuss the measures contemplated, but said that any steps that may be un- dertaken by the federal authorities Will depend upon the procedure of the city and state officials. Asked if the federal grand jury would take cognzance of the situa- ton, he said that there is nothing that the grand jury can do, the immigration law providing for the deportation of ail- archists being the only recourse unless a government official should be attacked. In the way of possible municipal legisla- ton to be aimed at agitators. it was said that new ordinances would probably be introduced at special meeting of the City Council to be held Thursday after noon.
