last Friday offered resolution of in
quiry in the Senate reciting what took
place in the House as above, and
calling upon the Secretary of the In
terror for information respecting the
foundation for such charges.
1t seems almost certain that Con-
gress will overthrow the action Of the
court and restore to the Indians the
many millions Of dollars worth Of
property of which they were deprived
by the courts decision. It also seems
certain that the charge Of alleged bri-
berry will be further investigated. The
difficulty across the path Of an in
vestigation is to prove the truth of
the allegation beyond a reasonable
doubt, for as a prominent lawyer
from Oklahoma said to this writer a
few days ago, it will be impossible
Of course to prove that the actual
passing of money from the hands Of
the attorneys to the hands Of any Of
the judges took place unless one Of
the parties to such an alleged trans
action should confess.
Tt is said that there is no little
talk in Greensboro and in other parts
Of the State as to the signs Of Judge
Adams increased wealth since his
return from Indian Territory. It is
also said that when he went away
from Greensboro that he was a poor
man. He had no known occupation
while in Indian Territory except that
of chief justice Of the court that
passed on the rights Of these Indians
and fixed the fees of attorneys.
The candid observer Of human ac-
ton and environment cannot refrain
from looking at the circumstances as
described at both ends of the line and
drawing logical conclusions there
from.

ANARCHISTS ACTIVE
Chief of Chicsg go Police Has a
Close Call
FINALLY SHOOTS HIS kSSAlLANT
In Desperate Encounter With I'm
known Anarchist Chief of Police
Shippy. Of Chicago, With Rare
Courage. Kills His Would Be AS
sassin.

Chicago, Special-Chief of Po-
lice George NJ. Shippy, his son, Har-
~, 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 8 O'Clock Monday morning. The
desperate struggle, in which Mrs.
Shippy and her daughter, Georgiotta,
Joined, was terminted when the
chief drew his own revolver and kill
ed his asailant. Attempts to identi-
fly the dead man have thus far result
ed in failure.
The attack is believed to have beer
the result of a conspiracy to harm
officials who have been active in sup
pressing manifestations of anarchy
in this community. Other city Off
cials are said to have been threaten
ed and a police spy who recognized
the corpse of the man who invaded
Shlppy's home as that of a person
who regularly attended anarchists
meetings. asserted that the man was
chosen by lot TO do away NTH not
only the chief of police but Mayor
f. r. Busse as well. The ramifica-
tions of the plot are said to extend
to other cities and to be closely con-
nected with the killing of Rev. Leo
Heinrichs. a Roman Catholic priest,
who was shot down at the altar OF
his church in Denver.
Harry Shippy was shot through
the breast twice and was probably
fatally wounded His father was
stabbed in the arm, while Foley re-
ceived a bullet in the wrist. Mrs.
Shippy was kicked by the desperate,
but her hurts ere slight.
Following the attack, squads of po-
lice were sent into the Italian and
Ghetto quarters of the city. Places
known as headquarters of secret so
cieties suspected OF anarchistic ten
dencies were raided and a score or
more arrests were made.
-'As | opened the door, said Chief
Shippy later, "the man raised his hat
and l allowed him to step into the
hallway He handed me an enve-
lope. I glanced at it and then the
thought struck me that the man was
up to some wrong. He looked like
an anarchist. | grabbed his arms
and called to my wife who was IL
another room. When she ran into
the hallway l said: Mother, see if
this man has a revolver She felt
in one Of his pockets and said that
he had.
81 tried to hold him with one
hand and draw 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 few steps from the
bottom of the stairs, when the man
freed one hand, drew him revolver
and fred two shots at Harry. Then
Foley, who had been summoned by
my daughter, stepped into the hall
and the man shot him. The anarch-
st kicked my wife to one side and
by this time | had got my own re-
volver, and both Foley and I opened
fire. At my first shot, which struck
| him in the head, he fell. But fred
three more. one into his head and
