HoNoRs FOR LAWLEss.

Capt. Robert T. Lawless, who for
many years has been in the employ OF
the Oceanic Steamship Company, has
been proposed for membership in the
Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land, owing to his invention of the
stellar azimuth machine. This instru-
ment serves spherical triaRgles me-
chanically, and with absolute accuracy,
and makes unnecessary the use in ma
vgation of an azimuth table. Capt
Lawless believes that every officer Of
every passenger liner should under
stand stellar navigation. The compass,
he says, is the most useful of instru-
meuts, but the most frivolous and
vacillating, and requires constants
watching and testing The compass
should be checked up every four hours
and even then it may play tricks on
the most experienced navigator. How
ever the stars are always true bea-
cons, and the navigator who can steer
by star sight, says Capt Law1ess, can
be as sure of his course as If he had
cross-bearings between two lights

CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE REDS


CHICAGO, March 3-"Run down the
anarchists"
That was the police cry today while
a picturesque figure went to the front
as the leading participant in the scenes
of police activity, following the at
tempted assassination of Chief Shippy
yesterday. Olga Averbuch, sister Of
the assassin whom the chief shot down
in his dastardly act proved to be
cynosure about whom general interest
centered and from whom the police
through a rigorous examination hope
to unearth many of the present-day
secrets of anarchism and, chiefly, the
real facts underlying the attempted
tragedy of yesterday. Olga speaks sew
eral languages and is declared to be
exceptionally intelligent The police
received information that many meet
ings of anarchists had been held in the
rooms occupied by her and her brother.
PRISONER ADMITS LITTLE TO
POLICE.
Isadore Maron was arrested early
|
and, though it was at first supposed
that he was so-called "curly-haired
chum" of Averbuch, the police, after
sweating" decided this was probably
not the case. However, the prisoner
admitted enough in connection with
the anarchists to warrant his contin-
ued retention in a city hall cell, in the
opinion of Assistant Chief Schuettler.
GIRL TO FACE SUSPECTS LATER
Early in the day it was intended to
confront Maron with Olga Averbuch
who had been the first to disclose the
fact that her brother had curly
haired youth" as a close companion.
When establishment of identity in this
connection failed the police decided to
get additional witnesses-prisonerB
possibly-from whom they could get
information before bringing Olga into
the foreground. She at present is
lodged at the Harrison street annex
RECOGNIZED AS RED" MARCHER
: Detectives from Shippys personal
: staff notified Assistant Chief Schuet-
; tier that they had recognized Olga as
woman who had taken part in DR..
Ben L. Reitmans recent parade and
: had worn a large red silk handker-
] chief which she waved while marching
| in Jackson boulevard. Six women who
waved these red handkerchiefs caused
such disturbance that the police were
forced to drive them to the sidewalks
and the detectives assert that she was
one OF them.
The prisoner persistently denies that
she knew anything of the anarchistiC
movements, but Schuettler will put her
through a grilling cross-eXamination
later and hopes to get a full confession
Of any connection with a plot OF which
she may be guilty.
RAID AND ARRESTS REPORTED.
, Maxwell street police heard shortly
before p. m. that detectives from AS.
sistant Chief Schuettler's office had
raided a building at West 18th and
Sangamon streets and taken a mar
and woman into custody. The police
of the Maxwell street station were moi
asked to assist in the raid and it was
rumored that the persons would bt
brought to Schuettler's office in the
city hall. The assistant chief had no
been apprised OF the supposed raid III
to / p. m. when he went to luncheon.
SEEK ALLEGED SWEETHEART.
Assistant Chief Schuettler, after tn
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-03-23

sweating of Maron, ordered a big
squad of detectives to the Maxwell
street district at 1890 a. m. today in
search for a girl known as Rosie
and also as Anna" who the police be-
lieve was the anarchists sweetheart.
Assistant Chief Schuettler refused to
say whether he had evidence that the
girl was directly connected with the
case, but admitted that he was eX-
tremely anxious to find her.
EXPECT TO ARREST GIRL.
I'VE have line on the girl and do
not believe she will get away from us, "
said Schuettler. Her arrest may or
may not clear up the mystery. We
are working on several other clews at
present which may show highly i'm
portant developments during the day"
PRISONER ADMITS ACQUAfN-
TANCE.
Maron, who was arrested when he
came to the home of Averbuch, 21S
Washburne avenue, at a. m. today,
was severely questioned by the assist
ant chief. He denied any knowledge
of the attempt to kill Chief Shippy, but
admitted he had attended several anar-
chistic meetings with Averbuch.
He was only a companion" main
tanned Maron, "and l was not aware
that Averbuch would commit any VIC
lent deed"
GOT LITERATURE FROM DEAD
MAN.
When questioned by Assistant Chief
Schuettler regarding anarchistic liter
ature found on him, he said it had
been given to him by the dead anar-
chist.
The official secured u copy of a
speech made by DR.. William S. Nath-
ansan, made at Workman's hall, West
18th and Morgan streets, last Sunday
night, which the police believe inspir-
ed Averbuch to commit the deed. In
the speech the Philadelphia anarchists
who were arrested last week, were
praised and Chief Shippy was denounc.
ed for stopping the "hoboes' parade
conducted by Ben L. Reitman.
\ LOITERED ABOUT CITY HALL.
Averbuch had been a frequent lott
erer about the city hall, it was asserted
today by William Walsh, chauffeur
for the commissioner of public works
Walsh told Deputy Commissioner Pau
Dedieske today that the man was gen
orally seen with a dark-complexioneC
companion.
II am sure Averbuch was a man
often saw loafing in the corridors o
the city hall" said Walsh. His com
panion was dark and am sure l coul,
identify him if l saw him"
SPEECH CONDONING VIOLENCE.
Nothing comes of individual acts,
DR.. Williamson is reported to have said
"Since this panic started hundreds o.
thousands Of men have shot themsel
yes, shot their wives and shot thei
children, but nobody has called then
anarchists. AS soon as they kill /;
high official or some one who is re
sponsible for the conditions whicl
make murder necessary, the papers
especially the government press, call
them anarchists.

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL,

Of this years festival. It seems hardly
possible that the Wednesday Club has
been in existence fifteen years. hut
when an Institution becomes so impor-
tant a part in the life of community
as that musical society. mere count of
time by years becomes of secondary
Importance.
No voluntary organization deserves
better OF the city than this club which
has done so much to increase interest
in and cultivate knowledge Of high
class music. The program for this year
even apart from the unusually high
standard of the assisting artists. Is
more popular and more interesting than
ever, and Richmond should be proud .o
support and encourage so brilliant an
organization.
The visitors. as well as the citizens
have rare treat in store in the fif.
teenth annual festival of the Wednes.

JAMES RIVER AND RICHMOND
FREIGHT RATES,

Richmonds freight rates depend solely
upon the James River. Close that ave-
nue. to the ocean and Richmond at once
goes into the class OF those cities
whose freight charges are determined
without reference to water rates.
The mere existence Of the James
River. the mere possibility Of start
ing free and untrammeled steam
ship line. by means OF that route, be-
tween Richmond and New York, have
built up this city's jobbing trade and
manufacturing plants. To give UP
the natural and geographical advan-
tage OF the James River would be to
put Richmond on the same rate basis
as inland cities without the benefit Of
water competition.
We have SO long enjoyed the benefits
of tidewater rates that we are apt to
overlook the great Importance OF that
factor in our commercial life. Freight
rates are tho prime factor in building
up a jobbing centre, and the freight
rates from Richmond have contributed
far more to the growth and volume
of the jobbing business of this city
than even the resourcefulress and in
telligence of the men who direct those
undertakings.
Likewise in manufacturing, the cos,
of transportation OF raw materials t.
the place Of manufacture and of The
finished product to the point Of dis
tribution are as real factors in TIL
total cost as rent or labor or taxes.
Despite its good climate and its his
grade labor, Richmond as a manufac
turing centre would be seriously dan,
aged il the James We're closed. for a
once our freight rates would lose tn
advantage OF water competition.
If the merchants cannot get acces
to the river and II the steamship line
operating on the river are left unde
railroad control, then, 30 far as Rich
mond is concerned, the James is dr..
creek. That Is why city docks, which
guarantee to the shippers the right t,
always use thu James, are so importan
to Richmond
Like the heavy guns at Fortress
Monroe the municipality owned dock
might never be called into use, bu
their presence would be a constant pro
lection.
For. shoulds the hates be ever un
fairly raised. Richmond merchants an,
manufacturers would have 1t in thei
power to charter their own boats an,
ship from New York.
AS long rs the James River stay
open. New York can be kept within
drawing distance of Richmond.

FIRE LOSSES AND F1nEpRooF1NG


OF all American extravagances none
is less dcfensible than our annual
fire loss. r. w. Fitzpatrick. writing
In The Outlook. gives some figures
on this question that ought to gal
vanlze even the self satisfied Ameri-
cans into activity. Every year we
spend about s6oo,ooOooO in new build
ings, and every year we spend $780,
100000 in fighting fire. 100000, 900 in
fire losses, and s195 100000 for insur-
once protection. OF the loss caused
by fire. we get back annually about
$95,o00,ooo, SO at the end OF any given
year the balance sheets are about
even.
About s2Oo,ooOooo of brick, cement,
wood and stone has gone up in
smoke, and s3oo,Ooo,o 600 more has been
spent in maintaining departments
which are of no economic value. If
this could not be prevented, courageous
endurance would be the best course
possible, but Europe pays only about
SO cents per capita for annual fire
loss, while our annual tax is about
$3.50. In the first month Of the pres
ent year We spent about $4,000 900 for
new buildings, and burned up $24,-
100000, Just to show what we could
do. Before the Chelsea fire, Boston,
which was comparatively free from
this loss. had an annual charge Of
about sS.61 per capita per annum.
while Dublin, Ireland, had little less
than "a cents. This being so, Boston
could well have afforded to in
crease the cost OF construction sutn-
GENTLY in the first instance to make
its new and valuable buildings alb
solutcly fireproof This can be done
at cost that is inconsiderable when
compared with the enormous returns
received.
If the Jefferson Hotel had been
| built fireproof in the first In.
stance, the city Of Richmond would
not have lost the benefit of that great
hostelrS for tire years, The ex-
ample of San Francisco and Baltl-
more show that tireproof buildings
1 can Withstand terrific conflagrations.
Now that Richmond has Building
Inspector, and with the fuller light
on the subject. we hope that the real
value of hreproof construction will be
brought home to every prospective
] builder.
