Ready Wit Of Chief Shppy Probably Saved His Life as
He Suspected the Man
Promptly Seized Him. But in Struggle Assassin Fatally
Wounded Young Shippy and Another Man
Fend Then Drew knife on Chief When the Latter Bored

Chicago, ILL.,, March 2.-Chief Of
Police Geo. M. shippy. his son Harry
and his driver, James Foley, were
wounded by an anarchist who at
tempted to assassinate the police of.
fetal in the hall OF the latter's resi-
dence, 81. Lincoln court, shortly af-
ter nine o'clock this morning.
A desperate struggle in which Mrs.
Shippy and her daughter Georgietta
joine, was terminated when the chief
drew his own revolver and killed
his assailant. The attempts to iden-
tify the dead man have thus far re-
suited in failure.
The attack is believed to have
been the result of the widespread
conspiracy to harm officials who have
been active in suppressing nantes
tations of anarchy in this commun-
ity. Other city officials are said to
have been threatened and police
spy who recognized the corpse Of the
man who invaded Shippy's home as
that of person who regularly at
tended anarchist meetings, asserted
that the man was chosen by lot to
do away with not only the chief Of
police, but Mayor Busse as well.
The ramifications of the plot are
said to extend to other cities and to
be closely connected with the killing
Of Rev. Leo eHinrichs, Roman Cath
Ollie priest who was shot down at
the altar of his church in Denver.
Harry shippy is the most severely
hurt of those who were injured in
today's ARRAY. He was shot through
the breast twice and was probably

stabbed in the arm while Foley re-
ceived a bullet in the wrist. Mrs.
shippy was kicked by the brute but
her hurts are slight. y
Following the attack squads of po-
lice were sent into the Italian and
Ghetto districts Of the city. The
places known as the headquarters Of
the secret societies suspected Of anar-

been made. s$

that Mayor Busse intends to issue an

casion for vicious attacks on social

That the attempt to kill Chief of

due largely to the policeman's quick

his visitors presence. The man had

ILLNESS THOMAS

Reckless Driving.

e. r. Thomas, the New York banker,

the result Of an automobile accident at
Long Branch on August IA last, is not
improving as rapidly as 1t was first
thought. Another operation was per-
formed this week on his injured right

What bearing this new state of af-
fairs will have on the action of the
trustees Of the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club next Monday night,
when Mr.. Thomas's case comes before
the governing body of the club for
consideration is not known, but 1t may
be that the attorneys for Mr.. Thomas
will put in a plea for another post
ponement of the hearing of the charges
against their client.
Charges OF reckless and unlawful
driving were preferred against Mr..
Thomas, who is a member of the local
automobile club, and he was request
ed to appear before the board of trus-
tees to show cause why he should not
be expelled from membership. Since
then the case has been postponed from
time to time, owing to the inability
of Mr.. Thomas to appear and defend
himself.

dressed the crowd after the last round
"Ah amt like most fighters who make
excuses" he said. "Ah went OF to.
night cuz Aim down and out and ha6
to get a piece of change or go withou'

. The crowd fell for this little speech
and tossed their stray coins into the
| ring, enough to keep poor, old "Missis'
| sippi" in q meal ticket for a month.
At last the principals Of the main &C
made their appearance. The first round
was rather tame, all science and little
slugging. Wagner worked a left jat
with good effect n played a tattoo on
Kline's face, but Patsy came back with
two singing wallops. and about evened
honors.
Third Wagner's Round.
Kline sen Wagner's head back, with
a wicked smash in the second, and
rushed his opponent to the ropes. The
New Yorker seemed not to heed the
blows, and In turn jabbed away at
Kline in a way that brought the pink
to Patsey's face. The third was the
only round in which Wagner clearly
had the better of 1t.
The New York boy whipped a sting
ing left to Kline's face, and then
ripped a series of vicious uppercuts to
the body. Kline tried to smile, but
there seemed to be pain behind the
effort. He was surely up against a
warm baby. A moment later Wagner
missed a swing and slipped to the can
vas. Kline helped him to his feet.
About fourteen towels were in action
between the third and fourth rounds,
and all hands were covered with resin
and dirt. Wagner drew Kline into a
clinch and jabbed away, but there was
little steam behind the blows. The
Newark boy once more evened matters
in the fifth. He rushed Wagner from
one corner of the ring to another and
got in, more than n singing wallop.
Tn this round both boys hit the can
vas. but Kline had wiped out his OPP
ponent's lead. Kline tried his best to
finish his man In the last round. He
was the aggressor throughout, but that
guard of Wagner's warded off many a
blow that might have meant a knock
out, had they landed. At that Wagner
seemed to be satisfied to clinch while
the watch licked off the last forty
seconds. It was a good draw.

AS THE
MANAGER OF THE
CINCINNATI REDS
Practically Certain That He Will
Affix Signature to Con-
tract with Reds.

1t is practically certain that Clark
Griffith, the former New York Ameri-
can League baseball team manager,
will affix his signature to a contract to
take charge of the Cincinnati National
League Club next season. 1t is ex-
pected that he will go to Redland, near
Cincinnati. where he will have a con-
ference with Garry Hermann, presi-
dent of the Reds. Although Hermann
had minated that he would not do
business with Griffith until after the
National League meeting in December,
it is expected that he will abandon this
idea and get the "Old Fox's" signature
to a contract without delay. The con-
tract will be made only for one year
and Griffith will not get as much money
as he received when he had charge OF
the Yankees, Griffith will not act as
the Reds Scout, but will have full
lcharge of the players both on and of
the field. 1t is understood In Cincin-
natl that Griffith Will receive $4,000
salary.
