NouHoinS oP S$HATCniotS or IoWptiC-
ity In Shippy Attack.
Chicago, March Awhile city, state
and federal authorities put plans on
foot to stamp out anarchy in Chicago
the police department pursued with
new vigor it's search through the haunts
of radicals In the Russian district for
anarchists who might have a. possible
connection with the attempted assassi,
nation of Chief of Police shippy. The
net results of police activity was the
rounding up Of nine suspects. A man
who gave his name as Harry Gold.
stein and who is said to be an agent OF
the Edelstadt society, an anarchistic
organization. was taken into custody
while distributing handbils of a rabid
anarchistic nature. Two other suspects.
whose names were withheld, were ar.
rested and subjected to a rigid exami
nation at the city hail. p.
An important arrest was that of Isa.
d,Se Maron, twho for u time wis be
lieved to be the curly haired" com.
panion Of Averbuch the would be as.
sassln, as described to the police by
Olga Averbuch, sister of the dead man.
This was later decided to be not the
case, but Maron admitted sufficient as
sociation with Chicago anarchists to
warrant his being placed in cell. He
was well supplied with anarchistic lit
erature Another clew led to the arrest
of William NJ Abramovitz, twenty
years old, Russian student at the
University Of Chicago night school and
employed as a printer In the day time.
The others under arrest were held
more because of their afiliation with
anarchistic societies than from any ex-
pectation of connecting them with the
attempted assassination Of the police
head.
The organized movement against an
archy by the authorities began with a
conference at the home of Chief Ship
py, In which Mayor T. A. Busse and
Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler
took part. 1t resulted in a meeting be-
ing arranged at which the mayor. the
police officials and States Attorney
Healsy will try TO work out plan Of
cooperation. United States District
Attorney Sims also met number of
city officials in the mayors Office. and
the question of federal assistance In
the roofing out OF anarchy was taken
mp. II was conceded that the efforts Of
the various branches of authority
should be directed toward the suppress
ing Of the propaganda Of anarchy and
of meetings where incendiary hs-
rangues are made. Mr.. Sims after the
conference declined TO discuss the
measures contemplated. but said that
any steps that may he undertaken by
the federal authorities will depend
upon the procedure Of the city and
state officials. Asked II the federal
grand jury would take up any phase Of
the situation. he replied that there was
nothing that the grand jury can do. the
immigration law providing for the de-
portation Of anarchists being the only
recourse unless a government official
should be- attacked.
That Lazaraus Ayerbueh in attempt
ing to assassinate Chief Of Police ship
py carried out a commission intrusted
to him By = group Of Chicago snarch-
lists was declared by Assistant Chief of
Police Scheuftler to have been proved
beyond a doubt. The discovery was
made just as the poliee were about to
accept the theury that the young an
Archist acted upon his own impulse
and that the attempt was not the result
n conspiracy. The group Of anarchists
also plotted. according 10 information
