 The dead man was identified to- night as a man named Lazarus Aver buch. who for the past three weeks has lived saf zls Wabash Avenue. Ills fdeutineation was established through sister of the man who was taken by the poaiee to the undertaking rooms

 Boy WilI Recover.
 Harry Shippy was the most severely hurt of those injured in today's aRray. Although the bullet from the asaas- sins revolver passed completely through his body just above the heart. it was said tonight that his chancss ICCQFStX CT was stabbed in the arm while Foley received a bullet in the wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by the despefados but her hurts are 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 eooa~ cities suspected of anarchistic tenden- cfes were raided and a score or more arrests were made. 8s That the attempt to kill Chief ship py resulted in failure was due largely to the policeman's quiclIness in anttci- pating the purpose of his visitors pres ence. The man had twice called at the house and asked for the chief yes terday when he was told that Mr.. Shippy was at work, and called again this morning when servant informed him that the chief could not be seen before o'clock. When he rang the door bell at the latter hour. the chief himself answered the call
 "As I opened the door," said Chief Shippy later, "the man raised his hat and I allowed him to step into the hallway. He handed me an envelope. I glanced at it and then the thought struck me that tSle man was up to some wrong. He looked like an anarchist. grabbed his arms and called to my wife, who was in another room. When
 
 CT, see if this man has a revolver She felt in one of his pockets and said that he had. II tried to hold him with one hand and Firaw 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 a few steps from the bottom of the stairs when the man freed one hand drew his revolver and fired two shots at Harry. Then Foley. who had been summoned by my daughter. step- ped into the hall and the man shot him. The anarchist kicked my wife to one side and by this time l had got my own revolver, and both Foley and I opened fire. At my first shot, which struck him in the head, he fell. But 1 fired three more. one in his head and two into his body. Two of Foley's shots also struck the assassin.
 Foley and Harry Shippy were taken to a hospital.
 The body of the anarchist was re- moved to a morgue. A search. of the corpse failed to reveal any marks by which 1t might be identified. In a pocket of the mans coat, how ever. the police discovered small box of lozenges. The package bearing q label inscribed "Trowbridge Confac- tionery Co.,. Meadville. Pa." The To- zenges were sent to a chemist for analysis, the police being of the opin- ion that they might contain poison with which it was the mans intention to commit suicide if arrested.
 Believed to Be Plot.
 The police are firm in the belier that the attack on their chief was due to an anarchistic plot. Theories that the man nay have had a personal grievance aEAtnst the official because of an arrestAr some similar affair. were given up\Nhen detectives of the deparfnent faiA D to recognize the corps as thatts. Aany known criminal TWO members of the force asserted that they had seen the man at a meet ing of anarchists about ten days ago
