GLAD NEWS FOR EVANS.
May Be Vice Admiral When Fleet
Reaches Frisco.

Washington, D. c. Especially In
a quiet way, naval officers here are
endeavoring to arrange most agree
able surprise for Admiral Evans when
the battleship fleet under his COM
mand sails through the Golden Gate
and completes the Pacific cruise.
To signalize the appreciation of
the government of the successful con-
duct of this undertaking, it is pro-
posed to greet the rear admiral with
a commission as vice admiral of the
American navy. Of course, the sue
cess of this undertaking depends
upon Congress, but the President has
done his part in making a proper
to that body for the
establishment of that naval grade,
and it is not doubted that Congress
can be induced to act upon the recon-
mendation in season to insure the is
sue of Admiral Evans commission
before the completion of the present
cruise, so that he may bear the title.
of vice admiral for the few months
that will intervene between his ar
rival at San Francisco and his retire
ment from active service.

that Emma Goldman would not be
allowed to speak in public in Chi
cage, led Averbuch to attempt to
remove" the police head in Russian
terrorist" fashion.
Averbuch's attempt upon Shippy' s
life followed the fourth effort he had
made to get at the Chief. Twice on
Sunday Averbuch called at Shippy' q
house, but was unsuccessful in find
ing his intended victim at home.
At o'clock A. M. Averbuch made
his third appearance, but was inform
ed by a servant that the Chief was
not ready to receive callers.
When Averbuch returned, at 8
o'clock, Chief Shippy was on the point
OF leaving for his office in the City
Hall. When admitted at the front
door by Shippy himself, Averbuch
handed the Chief an envelope bear
ing the officers name and address,
and said:
Here is a note / bring YOU"
The Chief, whose suspicion had
been aroused, grasped both of the
mans hands, and calling to his wife
told her to search him. AS Mrs.
Shippy ran forward the man wriggled
away, but her hand closed over re-
volver in his overcoat pocket.
Hes got one, she screamed.
Look out, George. for your life!"
Shippy, who had drawn his revolver,
pointed it at the man, who knocked
Mrs. Shippy aside and drew his weap-
on. He raised 1t to fire at her in
his rage, and the Chief shot him in
the arm as the woman lodged behind
some tapestries. Foley had heard
the shots and came running up the
steps, as did Georgia, the Chiefs
daughter. The two jumped into the
group of struggling fighters while
Harry Shippy, the Chiefs son, came
running down stairs from his bed
room with a revolver.
In the meantime the assassin had
drawn knife seven inches long and
brand-new, with which he lunged at
the chief. Shippy lodged back. but
received the full force of the blow
in his right side, directly beneath.
the armpit. An artery was severed
and the blood which gushed forward
blinded Foley, who was about to
shoot the assassin. The anarchist
turned and fired at the driver, shat
tering his right wrist. Then he fired
at Harry Shippy, who was half way
down the landing. The bullet struck
the youth above the heart and pierre
ed his lung. Chief Shippy and Foley,
enraged as they saw the boy fall
down the stairs, fired several shots
into the would-be assassin, who fell
dead at their feet.

ANOTHER COAL STRIKE
MAY Be Impending
The Miners Threaten to Stop Work
on March 81.
Mr.. MITCHELL RETIRES APRIL
Conference Between Joint Committees
of Miners and Operators at Indianapo-
lis Adjourns Without Reaching an
Agreement Warning to the Opera
tors Is Given by Secretary Wilson.

Indianapolis. Ind. Especially - The
joint committee of coal miners and
operators of Western Pennsylvania.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois adjourned
here sine die, without reaching an
agreement on the proposal to call a
joint convention to re-establish the
interstate agreement and fix new
wage scale to go into effect on April
1.
The final disagreement is the CHI
max to months of argument and
strategic sparring for position which
characterized joint meetings held in
October, December and January. I'm
less concessions are made by one or
both sides the union bituminous coal
miners of the country may cease
work on March 81.
There were four important motions
made and defeated before the final
disagreement President Chapman,
of the Ohio operators, moved that
the present wage scale be continued
during April that more time be given
to reach an agreement. Secretary
Wilson, of the miners organization,
opposed the motion and it was de-
feated. He warned the operators that
there would be no continuance of
mining after March 81 unless a wage
agreement was then undecided.
President Traer, of the Illinois OPP
orators, moved that the joint commit
tee adjourn until March 10. This
was defeated by the Ohio and West
ern Pennsylvania operators. Vice
President James Clark, of the West
ern Pennsylvania miners, moved to
adjourn sine die, and this was de-
feated by the Ohio and the Illinois
miners. A motion to adjourn until
March 16 also met with defeat.
The last motion, made by A. M.
Ogle, of the Indiana operators, to
adjourn sine die, was carried after
every effort to reach an agreement
had failed.
At the request of President Nit
chell, of the miners organization,
both operators and miners Endorsed
the bill now before Congress to ap-
propriate 5000, 900 to investigate re-
lcent mine disasters and safety ex-
plosives and to make recommends
tions.
Both operators and miners were
moved by opposing influences. Ill-
nois operators, who are now in joint
convention with the miners of that
state, have not reached an agree
ment, and they asked for more time
before going into joint convention.

THE SHAH OF PERSIA
HAS A CLOSE CALL
Bombs Hurled at Him KIN Several
Ou.riders.

Teheran. Persia BY Cable) Two
bombs were thrown at the Shah of
Persia as he drove through the
streets. The ruler escaped unhurt.
but three of his outriders were killed
and 81 persons were injured. The
would be assassins escaped. But for
the fact that the Shah, against whom
many threats have recently been
made, had taken the precaution to
send closed motor car ahead of his
own carriage there is little doubt
he would have been killed. The con-
spirators were awaiting him on the
roof of house on the street adjoin-
ing the one through which he passed.
So narrow is the street in which the
outrage was committed that it was
necessary to do little more than to
drop the explosives from above with
practical certainty that they would
not miss the target.
1t is plain that the plotters sup
posed the Shah was in the motor,
and the two bombs were thrown in
rapid succession as it passed their
hiding place.
The first exploded in the air, but

lence. The motor was blown to bits,
and the guards and spectators who
lined the streets were hurled in
heaps.
The door of the house was instant
ly broken open by the police, but
while the building was being ram
sacked the would be murderers had
reached another roof and fed.
The driver of the Shah's carriage
had quickly pulled up at the first
report, and the vehicle, surrounded
by guards, was driven at top speed
to the palace.
The ruler has been at swords
points with a large element of his
subjects for some time as result
of his efforts to set aside the con-
stitution granted by his predecessor.
The attempt was recently abandoned,
however, the disorders which had
been raging in many Persian cities
subsided and it was supposed the
trouble was over.

Hughes win Take Usual Course.

nor Hughes said that the charges
against District Attorney Jerome
would take the usual course. A copy
will be sent to Mr.. Jerome, SO that
he may send an answer, after which
the Governor will decide as to his
course.
William f. King, former president
of the Merchants Association, who
filed the charges, gave out state
ment in which he severely criticised
District Attorney Jerome.
Il maintain said llr. King, that
much of the blame for the present
deplorable conditions of affairs is
due to the failure Of Mr.. Jerome,
as District Attorney, to prosecute the
rich and influential grafters who
have robbed cur people and dis
graced the name of our city, COM

Ugly Charges Against the District
Attorney.
4il'M NOT WORRlED"---MR. JEROME.
Accused of Being the Advocate of
the Rich Allegation That He Failed
to Prosecute Life Insurance Of
icials or Prole the Street Railway
Scandals.

New York Especially - Twenty
two specific charges are made in a
petition asking for the removal OF
William r. Jerome as District Attor-
ney of the County of New York.
which was sent to Governor Hughes
at Albany by committee Of stock
holders of the Metropolitan Street
Railway through their chairman,
William F. King.
The petition alleges that Jerome
failed properly to prosecute charges
of alleged Jury fixing" and the CIV
ing of false testimony in street rail-
way cases; that the prosecution of
violations of the criminal law by the
life insurance companies of New
York, as disclosed by the Armstrong
committee, had been delayed; that
an alleged criminal conspiracy to di-
vert the property of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company of New
York into the hands of a few men
was allowed by Mr.. Jerome to go on,
hundreds of stockholders being
robbed of their money, and that no
attempt was made to punish men al
legged to have committed other frauds
in connection with New York city
traction deals.
Mr.. Jerome's statements as to
judges are alleged to have been not
only improper but scandalous in their
nature, and to have tended to de-
stroy the confidence of the people in
the integrity of their COURTS The
committee also charges that the Dis
trict Attorney misconducted himself
in failing to indict and seek to con-
vict some one of the officials of the
New York Central Railroad Company
in connection with the collision in
that company'S tunnel in 1902 when
II persons were killed. Various
other cases of alleged failure of Mr..
Jerome to perform his duty are cited
in the complaint
The petition further charges that
contributions to the campaign fund
to elect Mr.. Jerome were received by
one of his assistants from men con-
nected with large corporations seek
ing favors from the District Attor-
ney, and that the sum was consider
ably upward of $4,000. Among
these contributors, it is alleged, was
the attorney for James H. Hyde, who
gave $4,000. 1t is also alleged that
the assistant who received these
funds, and who has since resigned
and entered law practice, has undue
influence with the District Attorney.

comment when told of the
charges and request for his removal 4
