When he rang the door bell at IN
latter hour, the chief himself answtr

caught him again and while we were
struggling. my son, who was up
stairs, started to my aid. He was
only 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,
stepped into the hallway and the man
shot him. The anarchist kicked my
wife to one side and by this time ]
had secured my revolver and both
Foley and opened fire. AT my first
shot, which struck him in the head,
he fell. | fired three more, one in
his head and two in his body. Two
of Foley's shots also struck the as
sassin."
Both the chief and Mrs. Shippy
assert that the life Of the former was
saved by the bravery OF their son.
The young man who is a student at
Culver Military Academy, is Is years
old. He was home because of illness
and FASTENED to his fathers aid when
he heard the struggle in the hall
"The man had drawn great knife
and had plunged at my husband" said
Mrs. Shippy this afternoon.
"The knife was drawn back ready
for another blow when Harry struck
the mans hand, knocking the weapon
to the floor. The man kicked me and
the shots came, Harry falling, and
saw blood on his chest He exclaim
ed, Papa, I'm shot but he saved his
fathers life"
81 might have been shot and kill
ed if my boy had not come to my as
sistance," said the chief. Mother
was too terrified to do anything.
She was helpless as soon as she felt
the revolver in the mans pocket"
One of the places raided by the
police after the shooting was the
headquarters of society known as |
"Edelstadt Group" at AZ Union street |
Pictures of Herr Most and other well
known anarchists were confscated as
were about 1000 hand bills announc
ing series OF meetings at which |
Emma Goldman is scheduled to speak.
The library, short distance away,
was also invaded by the police and
several hundred pamphlets dealing
with anarchy and kindred subjects
were seized.
LATER.
The would-be assassin of Chief
Shippy was identified tonight as
Lazarus Averbuch, who lived with
his sister at 2l8 Washburn avenue He
was a Russian student about p years
old. He came to America from Aus
tria about three months ago and had
heen here about three weeks. The
plan to kill Shippy is believed to be
the direct result of the latter's inter
ference Of parade Of the unemployed
several weeks ago.

MAY INCREASE TARIFF.
Cotton Industry I'm south Germany
Suffers from British Competition.

According TO the annual report of the
Union Of South German Cotton Manu-
facturers. the mills connected Herewith
show a satisfactory Increase in the mum
Der Of splndles and output OF the looms
for 1907 as compared with 1906. The in
crease In the number OF splndles was
from 2,G44,562 20 2,Sl1, ,474, and the looms in
creased from 1856 TO 4s.S5S.
The general condition OF the Industry
I'm South Germany IS summarized by Con
sui Thomas II. Norton, writing 10 the
Department OF Commerce and Labor
from Chemnltz, as follows
At the close OF the year a strong retro
grade commercial movement set in. II
was followed by a fall in the price OF
raw material and an uninterrupted
shrinkage IN business. which certainly
has not yet attained its lowest point. De.
spite the extensive contracts at advanta-
geous rates concluded IN the latter halt
of 1907. the results Of the business de-
preston in the United States have pro.
duced such a measure OF reserve and dis
trust among buyers that general conf.
dence in the stability of the market and
Of the consumptive demand is seriously
impaired.
The prospects OF the cotton Industry IN
the immediate future are in no way salts
factory. In fact, as the import Of Brit
ish and Indian yarns into the German
market increased rapidly during the clos
ing months Of 1907 we must now expect
TO face In still greater degree the com
petition OF English spinners.
Under these circumstances Il is not I'M
probable that the demand for an increase
in the tariff on the impOrtatlons into
Germany Of the cOarser counts of yarn
will become more insistent. and that the
difficulties acc-uing TO German textile
interests in regard TO foreign markets
as result Of the various reciprocity trea-
ties, will, for the first time, become clear
~ and actually evident
In this connection II is TO be noted that
there has been a marked diminution IN
the output of the cotton-spinning mills IN
the region tributary to Chemnltz DURING
the past two months. especially in those
supplying the coarser Varieties While
the large mills of Chemntz Itself have
thus far neither restricted output nor
lowered wages, unless a material change
In the general situation soon becomes evil
dent, a lesseniDg in the production viii
inevitably ensue.

lE3'8'S TANNING INDUSTRY
Business Seems to Be Entering Upon
a New Era.
Natives Seek Information ns TO Bet
ter Processes and Prove
Apt Students.

The United States consul general at
Calcutta Is authority for the statement
that the tanning industry in India is
entering upon a new era. He says:
Old methods are passing away and mod
ern ones are taking their place. Within
the last few months several young In
dians have applied to me for information
as to how they might avail themselves Of
instruction I'm America on the modern
methods OF tanning and dressing leather
They were well educated and highly con-
nected. and well-to-do Hindoos. who were
willing TO enter an American tannery
and learn the business from the bottom
up. They had passed through the labo-
ratory training given in India. and taken
practical instruction In Indian tanneries,
but they had found that I'm tanning and
dressing Of feathers they would find more
advanced methods in the United States.
There is a very general feeling In India
that the tanning materials Indigenous 10
the country are not being utilized 10 the
best advantage. and the subject is being
agitated In the press. and scientific
schools. II Is proposed 20 send sample
barks and woods possessing tanning prop
critics to England for analysis 20 deter
mine their value. and TO make extracts
for testing purposes I'm actual tanning
Il is believed that India can enlarge her
leather-tanning operations by use Of ex-
tracts. which Is considered better than the
barks. and at the same time establish a
large export trade IN such extracts. Ex-
tracts from the acacia catech.. or cutch,
as 1t Is commonly called is made in Bur
ma, Kumaon, and Bombay. The extract
itself was at one time called Terra ia
ponioa' because It was at first classed
as a mineral substance. In 1906 there were
1918 tons Of this tanning and dye COM
modify exported 20 England
There Is a growing demand for myrabo-
lams in the United States This is a fruit
Of the termlnalia chebula. which grows
abundantly IN parts OF India and Burma,
Myrabolams are largely consumed in Ger
many, where the imports have fallen from

There Is one factory IN India where an
excellent extract OF myrabolams Is made
for the English market This is at
Ranigunge. but In order 20 meet the
demands Of the trade there should be a
similar factory established I'm Madras and
Bombay. MyTabolam extract is light in

other materials for the manufacture OF

Essential TO these enormous productions

term horsepower has been rallied at oc-
casionally by technical men in recent
years but it holds its place as a measure
of power. This one horsepower is force

has Big TRADE WITH BRAZIL
United States Takes Greatest Share
of Country's Exports.
We Get 40 Per Cent of the Coffee and
N Larger Proportion OF other
Commodities.

The United States continues 10 take
from Brazil the greater part Of its ex-
ports. except sugar .and coffee. Consul
General G. +. Anderson, at Rio Janeiro,
gives the following facts relative TO Bra
ziIs foreign trade:
The exports OF Ria de JaneirO In 1907
reflect the immense coffee crop in all
Brazil for that year There was exported
a total OF 1851. .21O bags of coffee, as COM
pared with S.4s5,21S bags the year before.
About 421A per cent went 70 the United
States. The vast mass OF all other ex-
ports of the district went to the United
States, except in the case Of sugar. The
entries of sugar in the port in H9O7 were
!. .259 OO4 sacks. as compared with LBS lS4
sacks !n 1906.
Shipments Of manganese ore increased
materially as n result Of the comparative
steadiness Of exchange at fairly low
point Monazite sand shipments showed
comparatively little change from last
year. Shipments Of glycerin and other
animal products show a slight Increase.
The total exports from the port in 1907
were $SS.75O.000.. as compared with $685.
35S. AS in 1906, the port furnishing sub
SNeiLldilS 10 per cent oA the exports OF
all Brazil.
While the exports Of coffee from this
portion OF Brazil as we'll as from all Bra
zil, in 1907 were something like 80 per
cent less than were those OF 1906 the lat
ter rather thar the former years figures
come nearer the normal.
One notable fact to be considered is
that the low price Of rubber generally has
shut off Nthe shipments of mangabeira
and manlcoba rubber from this portion
Of Brazil. The increase in the shipments
Of manganese ore are IN line with pre-
dictions OF what would follow the steady
ing Of exchange. The shipments of pre-
cious stones indicate IN a measure the
development Of the diamond mines OF
northern Minas, although the figures
given are not TO be taken as measuring
the output Of the district or any consid-
cradle portion Of It. There are stlll con-
siderable quantities Of stones handled Out
OF the purview Of any customs or other
figures.
The general feeling In export circles In
RIO de Janeiro at the close OF 1907 was
not one of satisfaction. The falling of
Of coffee shipments was due not only TO
the smaller crop. as indicated, but to the
fact that New York consuming dealers
had good stocks OF the berry on hand
and were unwilling 10 buy at even the
low prices then obtaining. II will be we'll
into the present year. If not longer. be-
fore exports from Brazil will take their
ordinary course.

FERNS PRESERVE FOOD.
Europeans Use Leaves I'm Many Ways
10 Keep Food Sweet.

According TO an article appearing IN a
Frankfort, Germany, newspaper, the
people Of the Fatherland and other Eli
ropeans make extensive use Of fern leaves
as a preservative for meat, vegetables.
and other foods.
People who have lived in England
know that the English have used IT sue
cessfully for many years. Valuable
fruit. fresh butter. &c, are no longer
seen IN the English markets packed in
grapevine leaves. but almost always in
fresh fern leaves. which keep the articles
excellently. This is done where grape
vine leaves are TO be had in abundance.
Every one posted well in botany knows
the high preservative power of fern
leaves with reference to vegetable and
animal substances.
On the Isle Of Man fresh herrings are
packed in ferns and arrive on the mar
ket in as fresh condition as when they
were shipped. Potatoes packed IN ferns
keep many months longer than others
packed only in straw. Experiments made
with both straw and fern leaves in the
same cellar showed surprising results
In favor Of ferns While the potatoes
packed in stray mostly showed signs
OF rotting In the spring. those In ferns
were as fresh as If they had Just been
dug.
Fresh meat is also we'll preserved by
fern leaves. 1t would seem as II the
highly preservative qualities Of fern
leaves are due to their high percentage
Of snlt No larvae. maggots. &c, ab-
proach ferns, as the strong odor keeps
them away.

TRADE IN SPAIN HINDERED.
IrOn-bOund Rule of Cash for Goods
Cuts Out American Sales.

Consul Charles NJ. Caughy. writing
from Malaga. expresses the view that
Americas trade with Spain ought to be
largely increased and suggests how It
may be done. He says:
Recently an opportunity presented It
self TO talk with a continental commercial
traveller, who for many years has made
this portion OF Spain his field Of exploit
alton. selling goods for a firm In Bar
celona which represents foreign houses.
His samples and photographs covered
very large variety of articles from every
European country. but nothing from the
United States except a cheap quality OF
dress shield. handled, however. by Ger
man house.
Upon .inqulring why there were not
other articles from the United States he
replied that his firm had made numerous
attempts TO secure American trade con,
nections. but that the irop-bound rule Of
cash against documents vas prOhibitive
He added that manufacturers of a GER
tain European country readily appreciat-
ed this fact and were constantly imitat-
ing American goods and selling them at
much lower figures than the American
catalogues quoted. He showed the pho
tograph of a portable oil cooking stove
which could be sold here at profit for
81, while the American stove, Of which it
is an exact copy. is listed at Sc.
He agreed with me that the only solu-
ton of the difficulty would be for several
manufacturers, whose wares do not con-
flict to establish an agency In each of
the larger cities, consign the goods, and
take bonds from the agents, and, every
six months make them settle for the
amount sold. There are plenty Of repu-
table representatives abroad to whom
such proposition would be acceptable,
and the terms would enable them TO make
profitable sales on credit.

TO CHANGE MOTIVE POWER
German Railroads viii Be Operated
by Electricity.
Plans Far Advanced for Installing
New Equipment on Several
Lines.

II appears that a serious attempt will
be made in Germany TO place electrical
equipment on some of the railroads in
Prussia. Plans with this end in view
are far advanced. and Consul Talbot j..
Albert has sent to this country the fol-
lowing facts regarding the movement:
The railroad ministry viii permit the
first attempts 10 be made with electrical
power in connection with the centrals
now existing ia the administrative dis
trIct OF Magdeburg In the first place
the short sections Gusten-Stassf and
Gusten- -Bernburg- Kothen will be arrang-
ed for electrical operation. Later. in fur
ther execution OF plans. there will be a
change of power on the line Magdeburg-
Bitterfeld-Leipzig. and afterward on a
line Halle-Leipzig Upon these. IN them
selves complete lines OF road. electrical
power will wholly supplant steam.
The line Leipzlg-Halle has been chosen
for a special reason. BY the electrical
operation between these two points there
will be a greater increase in the speed
and frequency Of the trains dispatched so
that In this way Leipzig will be brought
into closer connection with the western
main lines
The two lines are under the district
management of Halle which has been
instructed from the ministry at Berlin
20 make a detailed inquiry how far
electrical power can be economically
used IN comparison with the present
method of operation. II is said that the
preliminary work for this statistical in
quiry has already been done by the min
istry. 50 that the administration at Halle
has only To verify the results already OBJ
talned
The most favorable factor for the eco
nomical determination Of the question are
the bituminous deposits (Bramkohlen)
between Halle and Leipzig This kind
Of coal Is not considered suitable fuel
for locomotives.
One electrical central viii suffice for
the operation Of both lines. and this will
be built IN the midst Of the coal strata
Some years ago the favorable location Of
these strata suggested the electrifying
OF the railroad between Koln aand Trier,
but this was abandoned
1t is said the passenger traffic viii be
handled IN the same manner as upon the
road n-Lchterfelde-Ost, namely,
with small trains and quick service.
The express and freight trains win be
dispatched with electrical locomotives.
The length Of the two lines together
amounts TO 1O2la miles, the line Leipzig
Magdeburg being about so miles from the
line Leipzig Halle 221z miles. For the cur
rent, which VIII be conducted on thin
wires, 10000 volts will be required. 1t is
calculated that the change In the system
Of operation VIII take two years.
