THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MARCTI 3, 1003. MEETING, DELATED TOR DAI Eiinoii Central Stockholders Adjourn Till Tuesday! JUDGE BALL DEITIES DmJHCTIOJJ L tea hr Attorney te fn7 Case to the Itlgnest Court la Order te Settle Law Points. CHICAGO, March 1 No business was transacted at today's session of the annual mating of the Illinois Central railroad stockholders. Fifteen minutes after J. T. Harahan, president of tha corporation, had called the fathering- to order It was ad journed until I o'clock tomorrow. Inability of the proxy committee to pre sent a rpmplete report caused this action. The meeting was convened at noon, about two and one-half hours after Judge Farlln on the ' Wtl ' of the1 ' superior court of Cook county, had refused to Issue an Injunction restraining the voting of C1.231 shares of stock at the meeting. This stock, which' is held br the Union Pa cific Railway company and the Railroad Beeurltlea company, was . recently freed from similar Injunction by the sams court before which today's action ' was brought. That suit was Instituted by Btuyvesant Fish, one of his attorneys being Henry W. Lemon, In whose name the new action was begun. Mr. Leman asserted when the second case was filed Saturday that he was not seeking to delay action at the stork holders' meeting, but wished merely to obtain a ruling on certain points from the highest court. Case Will De Appealed. Following the declafon of Judge Ball steps were today taken to prosecute an-ap-paal. The case was plaoed on the court calendar and jitobably will not come up again for several months. The contention in. the bill of complajnt Is that a foreign corporation has no right to own and vote stock In an Illinois railroad corporation. About one hundred stockholders and other Interested parsons were present when the adjourned session was begun at noon. Immediately after the reading of the min utes J. M. Dickinson, general counsel for the road, asked for a recess of ten minutes to await the, arrival of E. B. Conway, one of the members ,of the proxy committee. The latter on arrival said that the com mittee had not completed its work and suggested an adjournment! until tomorrow, when, he said, It would be able to report. Btuyvesact Fish , attended the meeting, but took no part In the short proceedings and refused after adjournment to discuss any of the matters which rosy come up to morrow. B. H. Harrlmnn was not present, having been detained In New York by the approaching marriage of his daughter. He was represented by William Nelson Crom well.

And May Robson makes her a bundle of queer . womanly contradictions, every one of them a delight, and each Showing a new turn of the character. Aunt Mary 'has spent ' all ker life In the country and Isn't In touch with things In town. Her nephew, Jack Denham, is In several scrapes at once, the result of too much youthful exuberance and col lege chums injudiciously mixed. 1 In 'set tling up thess scrapes and getting her scapegrace nephew started right, Aunt Mary is required to visit town. She has the ,tlme of her life and determines to give over her seclusion and. lesd.a dif ferent life. A little love story, Involving Nephsw Jack and the sister of one of his college chums, runs through the comedy, which is almost a farce . during the greater part of Its action.

CLEAN BILL FOB SHANGHAI JUDGE Ckaraes Barked by t'oaatressmaa Waldo of Blew York "aid to Be la Interest of Wreig- . doers. WASHINGTON, " March i. President Roosevelt's defense of Lebbeus R. Wliriey, based on an analytical review by Secretary Root of the charges against htm was made publlo today. The charges were pre ferred by Ixirrln Andrews and have been repeated by him before the house com mittee on the Judiciary as the bssls of Impeachment proceedings. They relate to Judge Wllfley's administration of the United Btates court for China at Shanghai. After ' disposing of each ' of the seven charges by showing that neither of them Is the proper basis of criticism against Judge Wllfley Secretary Root reviews con ditions In the foreign quarter of Shanghai, showing that because of the heretofore American administration of Justice there affairs had grown disgraceful. Judge Wll fley was sent there for the express pur pose of reversing these conditions. Secre tary Root concludes: The circumstances thus presented exhibit motive for the attemot to drive probabil ity of misjudgment, exaggeration and dis tortion of facts on the part of the lawyers who have personally suffered from the changed conditions. They make it clear that upon "no trifling grounds should our government Incur the publlo misfortune which would be Involved In putting the stamp of disapproval on the work for de cency and righteousness that the United Btates court for China has done. My opinion is that Judge Wilfley is. en titled not to condemnation, but to com mendation and high credit for Ms oonauct In office and that the charges against him should be dismissed. . Accused for Fearlessness. President Roosevelt's decision Is con tained in' a letter to Secretary Root He first comments that it appears that Con gressman Waldo of New York stands sponsor for the charges. "I cordially con cur In your finding," he continues, "which Is to the effect that Judge Wllfley is not only innocent, but Is attacked solely be cause of the fearlessness and Integrity with which he has stamped out vice and crime In Shanghai. 'It is clear that Judge Wllfley has been attacked not because be has done evil, but because he has done good. The assault on him is simply an impeachment of de cency and seal for the publlo good and if successful would tend to cow and dis courage every honest public servant who dares to withstand ths forces banded to gether for evil and would do grave damage to the honor and interest' ot our. country In the orient. If the attack were to suc ceed the beneficiaries would be every keeper of a house of prostitution, every swindling lawyer, every man who lives by blackmail and corruption in the cities of the far east These are the people whose hopes have been revived by the effort to overthrow this upright and fearless Judge who has already done so much for the good name of - America In China. It Is not too much to say that this assault on Judge Wllfley In the Interest of the vicious and criminal classes is a public scandal." ANARCHIST IS SHOT (Continued from First Page.) lunged 'at my; husband. " 'said Mrs." Shlppy thi .afternoon .'.'The ,.blad atruek. hint in the shoulder. - ,, .-, ., "The knife was drawn back ready for an other blow, when Harry struck -the man's hand and knocked the weapon to the floor. The man kicked me to one side and the shoti ' came, Harry falling, and I saw blood on his chest Ha exclaimed: 'Papa, I'm ettot,' but he saved his father's life." I. saw the man on. the porch,", said Oeorgletta Bhlppy. "When I heard mamma scream I called to Foley and then ran into, the hall. I saw the knife and saw Harry rush in. Foley came in, the shoot ing began and it was all over so soon that I don't know Just how it all happened. Harry is not afraid of anything and he certainly caved father's life." 'I might have been shot and killed if the boy had not come to my assistance," said the chief. "Mother wae too terrified to do anything. She was helpless as soon as she felt the revolver ' in the man's pocket." . . " Ona .of the first places raided by the police efter the shooting was the head quarters of a society knowX as "The Edel stadt Group," at 427 Union street Pic tures of Herr Most and other well known anarchists were confiscated, as were also about 1,000 hand bills announcing a series of meetings at which Emma Goldman wae scheduled to speak. One of these meetings was announced for March 6 and the ojher for March 9. A library a short distance away was also Invaded 'by tho police and several hundred volumes and pamphlets dealing with anarchy and kindred subjects were seised. Inspired by Denver Crime. ; The attack on the chief Is believed to have been inspired by the recent activity of the Chicago police following the killing of Father Leo Hlnrlchs, a Roman Catholic priest who was shot by an anarchist In Denver while he was administering the sacrament to his slayer. News of the shooting in Chief Shlppy's home reached the police department when a request was sent to a nearby station for an ambulance. Every available detective In the city was placed upon the case. Immediately following the tragedy in Denver attempts to trace the crime to a conspiracy hatched In Clricago were begun. The local police discovered- that a society of Italians formefl Wre had been issuing inflammatory literature aimed at clericals and also that eevSral local clergymen had received threatening letters. Yesterday while the funeral of Father Leo was being held In -Paterson, N. J., details of police guarded several Roman Cathollo churches here. Police Gaard Priests. Fa?ecla! precautions were taken In the Unlit, n quarter, where officers in cltlsens' ctothiw scrutinised every worshiper as ths For OiUdrcn who dislike meat. Many mothers find it dif ficult to get their little ones to eat meat; children need some meat, although eaten under, compulsion it is not beneficial. UECIG Company's Extract of Bee! Solves this difficulty. Just . a little in the child's milk supplies the want of meat .'and aids. in . the digestion A . of tUcrrmjlk. congregations entered. .Later the officers "mdvsd to the altars and -stood guard over the prleats as they conducted the services. In addition to these measures all well known anarchists- In the city, among them Emma Goldman, were warned that they would not be allowed to make addresses In public. . So far as Is known none attempted, to disobey this order and no. arrests were made of followers of the cult . Thei documents sent out by the Italian organisation were carefully worded and an examination of them showed that prosecutions based therein might have fallen because ot technical dhort comings. Although all self-declSred anarchists In this city are known to the Chicago police, the Identity ot the man who attacked Chief Shlppy Is a mystery. Herman Bchueittler, assistant chltf of police; who has had charge of the cmssde against anarchists In the city, was unable to Identify the man. He described him as an Italian or Slav about 24 years old, velghlng 140 pounds and about five feet, six Inches tall. On the shoes and underwear was the number "399." The man wore a dark suit of clothes and a new hat purchased fnm a local firm. No articles or marks by which the, man might have been identified were found upon his person. Impertinent O nitre Seeker. Mayor Busse had an .excllmg Interview with an office seeker a few minutes after he . had returned to, his. office from the Bhlppy home whither he hurried on being Informed of the affray. The stranger, who was shabbily dressed, waa waiting outside the mayor's office tn the city hall and as the mayor advenced extended his hand. The mayor, who was. pale and nervous, aftef the experience of Chief ot Police Bhlppy, ; declined the grasp and eyed the man closelv. .-. 'I want a Job and I- am not here to ask you for nothing more.'. But if I don't get a Job there will be trouble." said the man. The mayor immediately ordered the man out of the building and the latter, after glaring angrily at the city executive for a moment, descended to tbe main floor and walked avav. Mayor Busse explained later that the In dividual had been calling on him and ask ing him for a position every, day for some time past. Today, however, was tho flrBt time that he had threatened to create trouble. The Incident, following so closely upon the tragedy at Chief Shlppy's homo caused some excitement In the city hall, and several heads of departments Issued orders to their clerks and secretaries not to admit strangers to the office on any pretext An Anarchist. Plot. A circumstance that led the police to be lieve that tlie attack on Chief Bhlppy was the result of an anarchist plot instead of personal grievances waa the fact that a man answering the description of the as sailant called at the Shippy residence yes terday. The chief was' not at home and aftor learning this the man left the Incid ent causing so little comment that it was not even mentioned to the chief by mem bers of his family at the time. The caller of yesterday was met by Mrs. Shippy and she was in the ball when the anarchist entered today.. She ran Into an other room when the struggle began, after calling upon her son, to assist his father. Foley had stopped -the ,-chief's horse and buggy In front of the residence and waa preparing to take the chjof down town to the latter'a office. - . -- A number of neighboring physicians were summoned to the house:, immediately after the shooting to attend; Foley and the chief's son. Foley was at, once. sent to a hospital and Harry Shippy -was also taken there after his father's reluctance to have him moved had been overcome. The young man, who is 21 years of,, age and a student at Culver military aeadopy, Culverrlnd., is the .most dangerously Jjurt . of the three. Two bullets pierced ls-chest and the sur geons in attendance made no effort to con ceal the gravity of his condition. Investigation Begins. Squads of pdllcenien were sent to tho chiefs horns and the assistant chief was summoned to take charge of the investiga tion which is following the shooting. Mayor Busse ordeied detectives sent to the under taking rooms to which the body of the anarchist was sent and told the officers to arrest any one who came there attempt ing to Identify the corpse. Up to noon no persons had called at the rooms. A crowd of curiosity seekers gathered about the place and at one time became so importunate that the police on guard were obliged to use force in keeping the crowd back. Another crowd surrounded the Shippy residence and kept the police guard there busy. Not until several of the sight seekers bad been threatened with arrest would they submit to control. Baa Upon Street lleetlagi. It is reported that Mayor Busse is about to Issue an order prohibiting all street meetings In the city of Chicago. The order will made general and Include religious as well as political gatherings. It being asserted that inflammatory speeches are often made at gatherings held on street corners under the guise of, revival meet ings. By making the edict sweeping It is thought that possible objections to it on the ground of alleged discrimination will be forestalled. ANARCHISTS SffiND OUT PAPERS Communicants In Kansas City Receive Propaganda Against Catholicism. KANSAS. CITY. March 2. Anarchist leaders in Chicago are apparently attempt ing to extend their influence to Kansas City. During the last few weeks members of the Croatian settlement In Kansas City, Kan., have received by jnall copies of a Croatian anarchistic paper published in Chicago. - Many of those who. received copies of the paper formerly worked in the Chicago packing houses and were trans ferred to Kansas City. They all declared that they did not order the paper. The publication contains articles attack ing the Catholic church and all forms of government. ; The Rev. M. Dovorto Krmpollc, pastor of the church of St John the Baptist, or which the . Crostlans are members, said yesterday:. , "There have been some attempts of the anarchists, to work in my parish.
