Andrew hamilton
CALLED SUDDENLY
FORMER INSURANCE LAWYER
DIES AT HIS HOME IN CITY
OF ALBANY, N. Y.
Death of Once-Famous Counsel Comes
on Heels Of That of His Wife
Known fer His Part in New York
Risk investigation.

Albany, N. Y, Mar. 2.-Andrew
Hamilton, formerly counsel to the New
York Life and other insurance COM
panies, and in charge for many years
of insurance litigation and legislative
matters in all parts OF this country
Sunday at his home in this city.
He was about the city the day and
night before, apparently in normal
health, and his death was entirely un-
expected, although ne has been failing
to some extent ever since the death
of Mrs. Hamilton. An autopsy Sunday
afternoon disclosed an acute dilation
of the heart, which must have caused
practically instantaneous death at
some time during the night.
Known IS Aid to Probe.
Judge Hamilton, who was so-called
because he was twice elected Judge of
the Albany court, was most widely
known in a popular way by the con-
nection of his name with disclosures
regarding political and legislative mat
tiers during the insurance investiga-
ton of 1905. Judge Hamilton was 81
years old, having been born in Lam
singburg April 20, 1854. He was for
merly district attorney of Albany
county, clerk of the state court of
claims, and during the past ten or
fifteen years has become widely
known as an authority upon corpora
ton and especially upon insurance
law.

Others Believed Threatened.

Chicago, Mar. 3.-What is believed

light Tuesday, following a sensational
attack upon Chief of Police George
Shippy Chief of Police Shippy was

assassin is declared to have been an
anarchist and leader of plot aimed
at others beside the chief.

The man who attempted to assas-
sinate Chief of Police Shippy, and
whom the chief killed, was identified
as Lazarus Averbuch, 2O-year-old
Russian Jew, who had been in this
country only three months. He re-
sided at 21S Washburne avenue with

Mrs. Shippy and the chiefs daugh-
ter, Georgia, % years old, were eye
witnesses of the tragedy. The chiefs
wife narrowly escaped being killed
herself in an effort to prevent the as
sassin from drawing his revolver.
Harry Shippy was rushed to the Au-
gustana hospital, where his condition
was said to be precarious. He was
operated on Immediately, but physi
clans despaired of saving his life, as
he was just recovering from an attack
of grip.

The supposed anarchist called at
the chiefs residence an hour before
the shooting and was denied admit
lance by domestic, Theresa Tauber.
He also called at the chiefs home

the shooting that he had elected a

the police and Mayor Busse, as re-
suit of the tragedy. Two raids were

REJECTS REQUEST
swarthmore College Will Stick to
Athletics.

FLfllELtSas
Philadelphia. March 1.-THE board
Of managers of Swarthmore college de-
clined to accept land and coal prop
erty bequeathed to the institution by
the late Anna T. Jeanes. Of this city,
on condition that all participation in
intercollegiate athletic sports and
games cease.
The action Of the board was based
on a report submitted by Joseph Whar-
ton Charles F. Jenkins and Howard
Cooper Johnson, a committee appoint
ed to ascertain the value of the prop
erty bequeathed to the college by Miss
Jeanes.
It was supposed at the time the be-
quest was made public that the prop
arty was worth upward of S1,OO0.OO0.
but the committee reported that after
a careful investigation it found that
under the will the college was appar-
entity the conditional recipient Of $50
acres of land in Centre county: 4706
in Carbon county. and an interest in a
tract of land in which the Hazel Brook
colliery. Luzerne county. is located.
But by inquiry it was found that Miss
Teanes' interest in the Centre county
land had been transferred, and that
the land in Carbon county contains no
coal or other mineral. and that the
-ract in Luzerne county from a mining
has been nearly worked |
out. This property, including Miss
Jeanes' interest in the Hazel Brook |
,olliery. is worth from $4,000 to s12.-
100 The Carbon county land is esti-
mated as being worth from $4,000 to
$4,000. and the entire bequest at pos
iibly $4,000 and probably not more
han $4,000.
