Thursday, March 8.

Thursday, March 5.-A marked trib-
ute OF respect was accorded the memory
of the late Senator Redfield Proctor, of
Vermont, by the United States senate
today. The reading of the journal was
only begun when Senator Dillingham;,
of Vermont, arose and, asking that it
be dispensed with, referred in tones
that indicated deep emotion to the
great bereavement that had come upon
the senate, the state of Vermont and
the country by the passing of man
who for so many years had been in the
public eye.
Mr.. Dillingham; moved the adoption
Of the customary resolution, and the
vice president announced committee
consisting of Senators Dillingham;, Dan
iel, Gallnger, Perkins, Taliaferro,
Overman and Hemenway to attend the
funeral.
In the house the proceedings were
brief. While waiting for the official
announcement of Senator Proctor 8
death, couple of bills of minor i'm
portance were passed.
Mr.. Hasklns, Of Vermont, presented
resolutions of regret, which were adopt
ed. After Speaker Cannon had an
nounced the names of the committee tu
represent the house at the funeral, the
house, as further mark of respect,
adjourned. The body will be accom-
panied by members of the family OF
the late senator and by the congress
sional committees to Proctorville, Ver-
mont.

FATE IN COUST,
Seattle Fair Bill May Not Get BY Its
House Opponents.

Washington, March 3.-The men,
bers of the Washington congressional
delegation are somewhat concerned over
the manifest unfriendlness shown by
the Republican leaders in the house
toward the Alaska Yukon Pacific expo
sition bill. While they feel reason
ably certain that they will ultimately
secure an appropriation for government
buildings and exhibits, they realize
that the opposition of the "strong men"
of the house is likely to make it difficult
to get as much money as they really
need, and they believe that further
reduction in their bill will be injur-
ious.
When the senate passed the Piles
bill it went to the house, and should
have been referred to the committee on
industrial arts and expositions, before
which the Humphrey bill was pending.
Instead it was referred to the commit
tee on WAYS and means on the lame ex-
cuse that the bill contained provision
authorizing the admission, free of duty,
of exhibits from foreign nations. This
committee is antagonistic to the bill.

CHOSEN BY LOT,
Death Sentence Passed on Chicago
Chief by Anarchists.

Chicago, March 4.-That Lazarus
Averbuch, in attempting to assassinate
Chief of Police Shippy, carried out a
commission entrusted to him by a group
of Chicago anarchists was declared by
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler last
night to have been proven beyond a
doubt. The discovery was made just
as the police were about to accept the
theory that the young anarchist acted
upon his own impulse and that the at
tempt was not the result of a conspir-
acy. The group of anarchists also
plotted, according to information in
the hands of the authorities, to assass-
mate Mayor Busse and Captain P. d.
OBrien, of the detective bureau.
The principals in the plot have not
vet been discovered, but it is said that
Averbuoh was picked to execute the
order of death at meeting OF anar-
chists which he attended last Thursday
night.

WANT FOREST PRESERVED.
Wholesale Lumber Dealers approve
Policy Of Government.

Washington, March 6.-The copclud-
ing feature of the 18th annual conven-
tion of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers association was a banquet at
the New Willard last night.
The principal topic of discussion yes
terday was forest preservation. The
report of the committee on forestry de.
clared that the lumber dealers realize
the inevitable shortage in the timber
supply which must be felt in the very
near future and are doing more prob
ably than any other agency to promote
the cause of forestry. The report de-
clares that with all the agencies at
work they are hopeful that our forests
will still be preserved. Repeal of the
homestead law as applied to timber
lands is advocated, but the general for
est reserve policy of the government is
approved.

ATTEMPT ON
POLICE CHIEF
Anarchist Tries to Kill Shippy. of
Chicago Force.
Shot by Chief After Wounding Four
Persons-Shippy Saved by Quick
ness and Sons Brave Conduct
Dead Man Had Plotted Long for
Chiefs Life.

Chicago, March 3.-The would. be
assassin of Chief of Police George NJ.
Shippy was last night identified as Laz-
arus Averbuch, a Russian student OF
presumably anarchistic tendencies.
Chief sbippy, attacked in his home,
No. 81 Lincoln place, at $3.50 a. m.
yesterday by Averbuch, shot and killed
the latter, but not until his assailant
had stabbed him in the arm and shot
and dangerously wounded Harry Ship
py, son Of the police official, and had
wounded James Foley, member OF
the police department detailed as
driver for his superior.
The younger shippy was said at a
late hour last night to have good
chance of recovery. Neither of the
other men was dangerously hurt.
Averbuch's attempt upon the chiefs
life was the fourth effort he had made
to accomplish his purpose. Twice on
Sunday he visited the house, but was
unsuccessful in finding his intended
victim at home. At o'clock yesterday
morning he made his third appearance,
but was informed by servant that the
chief could not be seen till 9 O'Clock.
When he returned at O'Clock the chief
was on the point Of leaving for HE
office. When admitted at the front door
Averbuch handed the chief an envelope
bearing his name and address, but the
latter, having heard of the previous
visits to his home, suspected that
something was wrong and seized him
by the arms. The envelope which was
found later to be only ruse to gain
entrance, contained only blank sheet
OF paper. The quickness with which
the chief acted upon his suspicion
doubtless saved his life. Averbuch,
though slight in build, proved in his
desperate almost a match for the
chief, who is much larger, and the
latter found himself unable to holo
his assailan and search him for weap-
ons at the same time. He therefore
called to- his wife, who was in the next
room, asking her to ascertain whether
the man mad weapon in his pockets.
Mrs. Shippy discovered revolver in
Averbuch's pocket, but before she could
remove it he struggled loose from the
grasp of the chiefeand, drawing long
knife, stabbed he chief in the arm.
Thereupon the chief grappled again
with his assailant, who drew revolver.
At that moment Harry Shippy, l9
years old, came rushing down the stair
way to his fathers aid. Averbuch fred
two shots, one of which struck young
shippy, who fell seriously wounded.
Before Averbu could fire again, James
Foley, the chiefs driver, attracted by
the shooting, ran to the door and seized
Averbuch. The assassin struggled
loose from the embrace and fired
shot, which pierced Foley's hand.
Thereupon both Mr.. Foley and Mr..
shippy emptied their Ievolvers into
Averbuch's body. One bullet entered
the mans breast near the heart and
another passed through his head. The
revolver dropped from his fingers and
he died without groan.

Wednesday, March 4.

Washington, March A. Currency
legislation was the subject of consider
alton in the senate today. Hepburn
opposed the Aldrch bill and declared
it was useless and he would not vote
for it.
Perkins spoke at length in support
of the bill. Bailey stated that he
would speak on the bill Monday and
Depew will speak on Friday. Aldrich
announced that he hoped to have a
vote on the measure next Wednesday
A canvass of the senate made to as
certain the sentiment in regard to the
bill indicates that there will be more
Democratic senators for it than Repub-
lican senators against it. Since the
speech by Smith, of Michigan, in op-
position to the railroad bond feature it
has been stated persistently that there
is a Republican detection that endan-
gers the passage of the bill.

PR0SfCUTIoN
Ruef Accuses Heney of SubOrnatIon
of Perjury.
Would Change Plea in Extortion Case
As He Is Not Guilty - Declares
His Testimony Was Obtainud bv
Misrepresentation, Coercion a d
Unoue Influence.

San Francisco, March This morn
ing at 10 o'clock Abraham Ruef will,
through his attorneys, Henry Ach,
Frank ]. Murphy and M. G. Chapman,
present to Judge Dunno motion to al
low him to withdraw his plea Of guilty
entered on May 15, and substitute a
plea Of not guilty in the case brought
on indictment No. 305, one Of the
French restaurant extortion cases. To
support his motion Ruef will file affi-
davits of sensational nature, the sub
stance Of which was given out tonight.
In filing the motion Ruef states that
the plea of guilty was improperly and
inadvisedly rendered and that the de-
iendant is not guilty of the ofen e
charged, and that he was induced to
enter the plea of guilty by virtue of an
agreement and understanding with the
district attorney, William H. Langdon,
the assistant district attorney, Francis
J Heney, the special agent of the DIS
trict attorney, William J. Burns, and
the financial backer Of the district at
torney In this prosecution, Rudolph
Spreckels, and because of the agree
ment and understanding of the Judge
presiding in ths department of the Su-
perior court, Judge Frank II. Dunno,
that the plea of guilty should subse-
quently be withdrawn and the plea Of
not guilty substituted, and the cause
dismissed against the defendant.
The motion also will state that the
district attorney has heretofore consent
ed to the withdrawal of the plea OF
guilty and that this plea was obtained
from the defendant by fraud, coercion,
duress and false pretenses. The mo-
tion will be presented to the court on
March II.
