THRILLING ADVENTURES

On Thursday, The Press will begin the publica-

strange people of the South
The story is we'll written full of adventure of the
not impossible sort and will, The Press believes,
prove of absorbing interest.
The main character in the story starts voy-
age to Manila but finds after it is too late that he
is really embarked a mysterious mission down

put through searching examina-
ton which may lead to complete
exposure of the activities of the va
rious anarchistic groups in this
city.
The police have decided to es-
tablish rigid censorship on Red
literature and prevent much of it
from being freely circulated in Chi
cago. They have also decided to
break up the meetings Of the vio-
lent anarchistic circles, as they
tend to promote crimes such as was
attempted yesterday. Averbuch
was devoted Jew and spent hours
praying In his closet prior to the
assault.
Isadore Marona, a Russian Jew,
was arrested at the home of La
zarus Averbuch, theh dead would
!.be assassin. The police believe he
knows the details of the plot
against Shippy.
Olga Averbuch, sister of the
dead man, who was arrested early
last evening and who identified the
body. is being held at the Harri-
son ST. police station in care of
the matron. At times she is hys-
terical.
She has told the police that her
brother was deeply respondent and
had been greatly Influenced by the
bitter speech recently made in Chi
cago by the anarchist Lucy Par
sons. He became wildly excited
over the attitude of the police to-
wards the proposed demonstration
of unemployed by Ben l.. Reitman,
and it is thought that about that
time he made up his mind to kill
Shippy.
The direct incentive of the at
tack was Shippy's order suppress

Irish patriot and orator, Robert EN-
NETT. The date Is usually honored
by the Irish-American society else

in Spokane. The Spokane society
made no preparations for it on ac-
count Of the st. Patrick's day cele-

up the matter themselves and see
that he is fittingly remembered.
The life and death of Emmett is
one of the strongest and saddest
chapters in Ireland's history.

Van Vert, O., May 28.-After Hunt
ington had spanked Richmond four
times and the Quakers had limped into
our town a sadly demOraItzed looking
crew, the local fans licked their lips
in anticipation of a feast, in which the
Quakers were to play the part of the
feast. Tuesday the Quakers were easy
picking, but TO the surprise and dis
gust of the fans, the Quakers turned
on our pets yesterday and gave them
two drubbings that were we'll worth
the price of admission.
In the morning game Richmond won
by a remarkable triple play. In the af-
ternoon the Buckeyes went down to
defeat through the mastery pitching
of Brown. combined with the sonsa-
tional fielding and timely batting of
the Quakers. In the two games yes

ed here Tuesday. The players were
full of snap and ginger and took
prompt advantage of every opening of
fered by the Van Vert defense. \ big
crowd watched the peppery play OF
the visitors in the afternoon game.
Brown and Bauman Were the brig ut
particular stars of the contest. The
former allowed only two stingy hits
up to the seventh inning.
In the eighth he let down and four
hits by the locals scored two runs. In
the ninth Brown was again back in his
untouchable form. Ten local batsmen
famed the atmosphere in efforts to
connect with his shoots. Bauman was
at bat four times and secured single
and a three Dagger. In tao field he
accepted eight hard chances without
an error. The crack shOrtstOD had a
field day with the bat yesterday in

hits out of eight times at bat, one a
