Russia, during the massacre, going
thence to Austria.
In trunkful of books found at his
rooms at 21S Washburn avenue. where
he lived with his sister Olga. the police
found evidence that he was anihilist of
type that has been increasing in Chi-
cago during the past year to the alarn
of the authorities.
The trunk was filled with books that
breathed ferocious, violent anarchy.
Averbach is supposed to have been
melted to his act by the schooling he
got among anarchistic groups in Chi
cago, and to have selected Chief Shippy
as a mark because of the latter's ac-
tivity against the reds.
The attempted assassination is con-
jectured by the police to have been
part of a plot to murder other city
officials. several of whom lately have.
received anonymous letters threatening
them with death.

slayer, and it is the direct outcome
of a remarkable subterranean growth
Of anarchism in Chicago. of which
the police have been cognizant for
nearly a year past, and TO stop which
they have recently adopted drastic
remedies.
In retaliation for his activities to-
ward the suppression of the reds"
Chief Shippy is supposed to have been
picked as the first victim. The assassin
gained access to the chiefs home by
feigning that he had letter to deliver.
On obtaining admittance he showed an
envelope into Chief Shippy's hand.
The spread of the propaganda of
anarchy has been so rapid of late that.
the police authorities declare. the
metropolis is fostering with nihilism
and conditions are fully as grave as
they were in the days of the Haymar-
ket riots.
The situation is so critical that the
city council probably may take action,
when it meets Friday night, with
view to ascertaining wnat remedies
can be applied, while it is probable
that the grand jury will make an in
vestigation.
Meanwhile the police are redoubling
their activities. Warned by yester-
days attempted assassination. they
issued orders last night to keep the
city hall clear of the loungers and
'loafers that frequent its corridors. Ex-
ira policemen are also to be placed on
guard in the various departments as an
additional precaution.
Instructions also We're given the
to make the surveillance of
the anarchists even stricter than 1t
has been since the anti-clerical move
ment cropped out. Notices were sent
out that Emma Goldman was not to be
allowed to make any speeches when
she came to Chicago and that close
watch was to be kept over her moye-
ments.
To Celebrate the Commune.
Posters have been issued by the
"reds" advertising several meetings to
be conducted by Emma Goldman and
calling on all friends of the bloody flag
to rally for a celebration of the Paris
commune, March 49,"
Long live those who live for lib
erty." saws one of the handbills, an.
nouncing that Emma Goldman. the
greatest anarchist speaker in the
country, will speak on The Crisis-lts
Cause and Remedy" Friday night
at Hod Carriers hall.
The prophecies of anarchfsm ap-
.peared last night at Springfield. Mo-,
and the moment she sets foot IN Shl-
cago she will be under the surveillance
OF detectives.
No dragnet will be spread and there
will be no attempt on the part of the
police to make wholesale arrests of the
anarchists, according to Schuettler.
Some other method of dealing with the
will be devised, and to-
day a conference will be held between
Mayor Busse, Chief Shippy. Assistant
Chief Schuettler and Inspector Lawn,
in whose district lies the ghetto, the
hotbed of nihilism.
