with TWelVe-Year=Old
Girl

The value of a stolen kiss was fixed
at SIS by Police Justice Chambers yes

rushed in and told her mother, who,
with several neighbors, visited the Of
flee of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney

STOCKTON. March a.-Countess

answer the questions of her counsel,
Attorney Mclaughlin. She was the
first witness to testify in her own be-
half in the proceedings instituted by
her to break the will of her mother,
which made an only son the sole Leg
atee of the 100000 estate.
The aged countess answered the pre-

ner but when Mclaughlin interogated
her concerning the harsh words direct
ed by her brother to his mother, she
demurred and implored the court to
save her from the necessity of going
into the details of a sensational story
After the countess had wept for
some time the court advised her to an
swer the questions, saying it was nee
essary for her own good. The witness
then began her story by stating that on
one occasion she found her mother

NO ANARCHIST, SHE SAYS
Emma Goldman Asserts Aver
buch Was Not of Society

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-. March Emma
Goldman, the anarchist, who lectdred
here last night, said this morning when
informed OF the identity of Chief Ship
py's asailant:
Il never heard of Lazarus Averbuch,
but know that he is no anarchist. He
is not member of our society, and.
further than that, no anarchist would
attack boy or girl. The son and
daughter of Chief Shippy were in the
room and the son was shot. No an
archist did that. The fact is. the Chi
cago police have been so active and so
bitter in digging up plots that they
have got faction ofSforeigners against
them, but they are not anarchists.
THE Chicago police" said Miss
Goldman, ARE absurd. Immediately
after the assassination of Father Leo
in Denver they startled the world with
the discovery of similar plot in Chi
cago. They are always discovering
plots after 1t is all over. If Chief Shippy
got into trouble with any faction it
was his own fault, but I know that
Averbuch was not an anarchist"

The latest of the long list OF burg

A good description of the thieves was
furnished by Mrs. W. L. Street, whose
home is opposite that of the FlynnS.
Mrs. Street saw two men leave the
Flynn house, carrying suit cases. The
description given by Mrs. Street of one
of the robbers fitted exactly that of a
man seen by Mrs. Flynn watching the
movement of her household the after
noon before the robbery. This de-
scription was given to the police. and
through it Detectives Purcell and Field

RIGIDLY TO ENFORCE LAW
New York Police Act on Order
of Secretary Straus

NEW YORK, March 3.--The order OF
Secretary Straus of the department of
commerce and labor for the deportation
of such alien anarchists and crimi-
nails as the law can reach viii be
enforced promptly and vigorously by
the local and federal authorities work.
ing in harmony with the local police.
Commissioner of Immigration Wat
chorn is keenly alive to the situation.
and his subordinates are well schooled
in what is expected of them. United
States District Attorney Stimson said
tonight that the matter had not yet
been brought to his attention officially,
but intimated that no time would be
lost by the federal officers in comply
ing with the instructions Of the depart
ment.
Police Commissioner Bingham tonight
stated that the local police were exer-
cising every precautionary measure
possible.
At a conference between several fed
eral authorities and Commissioner
Bingham a plan of joint action viii be
mapped out
Despite qualified deniaIs, justified by
the secret nature of the work, it is
known that a systematic campaign
against those suspected of anarchistic
sympat thies has been quietly waged
in this city for months. Special
detectives are scattered throughout the
Wall street section. the neighborhoods
Of the wealthy receive special atten-
tion and the haunts of the suspected
are closely watched. While little ap-
pears on the surface. it is known that
any attempt at a lawless demonstra-
ton would be ridden down roughshod,
and that a warm reception awaits the
avowed anarchist from other parts who
in an i'll advised moment may turn his
steps New Yorkward.
Commissioner Bingham said today:
There is no truth in the assertion
that the force of patrolmen has been
increased in the financial district be-
cause of threats made against men do
ing business there. Scores of bug let
ters are received by the police depart
ment every day in the week
OF the additional police assigned to
the financial district, the commis-
sioner said: The force has been in
creased about 20 men, and it is partly
true that they are there on account of a
circular letter. We will take all pre-
cautions necessary to handle all an
arcists, and we will see that very few
come to this city
To the question whether he had re-
ceived any threatening letters himself
recently the commissioner replied:
NO. / have not lately, but one of my
deputies has"
Bingham said that there was no evil
dence that the western anarchists had
eastern connections.
''Since the murder of Father Leo" he
said. and in connection with that
crime or the attempt on the life of
Chief Shippy of Chicago, nothing has
occurred here to indicate that these
western anarchists have any New York
connections, or that prominent men
here are likely to suffer. What may
happen no one can tell. / may be the
next one myself, but so far there is
nothing in the local situation to give us
reason to believe there is danger of an
outbreak here"
