Johann Hoch, In dieted for bigamy, suspected of mur der, and a man of many aliases, ar rived In Chicago tonight and for sev eral hours after reaching here, was in- i WaJcker Hoch. the last wife of Hoch, -hh fii(Bculty ;A number. p,leopie Kvced and hootodi at hiin.T The jioiloe hurried Hoch through the station and Into the patrol, wagon and he was Jriven to the East Chicago avenue po lice station. , . , , ; tafwroga.Uotj at Hoch' comfatotett a few minutes after 7:10 o'clock and was still In operation at 'midnight. Hoch, at the outset admitted having mar ried Mrs. Marie Goerk Hoch, and that the marriage was Illegal, but 'he would admit nothing else. During the evening flvt women, who claimed to be wives of Hoch, called at the police station. Mrs. Emlle Fischer Hoch. saw the prisoner for a minute and saluted htm with the exclamation: "You old hog; you got my $750, didn't you ?" Later five women were, one at a time, admitted into the office of the inspector and all of them Identified Hoch as the man whom they married. Mrs. Ellen Hoppe was somewhat in doubt, and Inspector Chippy asked "Hoch, did you marry this woman?" "No" , replied Hoch. "but maybe will if you don't hustle her out of here pretty quick."

When the train bearing Hoch and Officer Loftus, who had him In cus tody, arrived a large crowd gathered. but none of the wives were among the number. Hoch evidently expected a number of wives to meet him at the station and was plainly disappointed that they did not come. "Where are these 14 wives you talk about so much?" he asked Loftus. "I guess you have been Joking me about part of this business; otherwise there could not be 14 for I never had that many. It seems a lot of women think I am the only man in the world who could marry them and get away with some of their money." ,When Hoch and Loftus alighted from the train six policemen who were sent to the station to meet them were able to control the crowd only identified htm as the husband of Mrs WaJcker and ; showed htm, a bill for 1100 for attendance on the woman. "Oh, yes," said Hoch, "I remember something about that Bring It around in the morning. I 'shall still be here." and he laughed heartily at his joke ' Honor for Roosevelt. New York, Feb. 9.

Patrick, under sentence of detua la Sing Sing for the murder of Million aire William M.-Kiev who succeeded In placing, before '1h Medico Leagal Society of this city for Its lnvestiga tlon a question of which h believes rests the whole fabric of appeal for new trial, has been informed through his counsel of the society's agreemeut to pass on the question. The society disclaimed any Interest In the matter outside of strictly medio- legal questions involved and has ap pointed a committee to act on an Investigation, A report is expected February 15. Patrick's new defense proposes to attack the evidence on which he was convicted, the prosecution proving that Rice died of congestion of the lungs. Induced by choloroform poisoning. By exhaustive medical research Patrick claims to Dave discovered that em balming, under certain conditions will cause congestion of the lungs. He argues that the evIJence based upon the congestion of Rice's lungs, is. therefore, , worthless and submits 11 questions, 10 of them on the above point. The last question reads: "State whether from all the evidence the death of Rice resulted, in your opinion, from the administration or in halation of chloroform and the reason and basis of your conclusion."

Ambassador Porter has some reason to believe that he has at last discovered the remains of John Paul Jonea About four years ago he secured a clue which Indicated that the remains of John Paul Jones, who died In Parts, had been Interred In a small urban cemetery, but arch for this cemetery disclosed the fact that it had been abandoned early In the last century and that its alt was covered with buildings, leaving little hope that any remains of corpses Interred there could be found. Thes facta were represented to ins state d partment at that time and tnere th matter has rested until recently. Not long 'ago, however, Mr. Porter came Into possession of some addi tional Infrmatlon which warranted at least the hope that the sailor's skele ton was not removed when the build ings were erected and that It now re poses beneath the foundations or with in the cellar of some of the dilapidated flats which stand on the ground onc occupied by the cemetery. The Infor mation does not Indicate under which particular building John I'uul Joue remains are entomb!. If these clue are to be followed, therefore, It will be necessary to raise anywhere from foui to a dosen buildings. It has been sug gested that If the remains were found It would be almost Impossible to Iden tify them after the laps of time since the death of John Paul Jonea Mr. Porter, however, thinks otherwise, pointing out that the American inltoi was burled In a lead coffin, a very unusual means of Interment at that time, and one likely to preserve' the body In fair condition for an Indefi nite period. It Is true that Jones, by bequeathing to friends and lmmlluu attendants upon his dwth bed his sword, his medals, and Jewelry, which otherwise have been found in his cof fin, hits s'Uleit to the ttmutinii. Hut Mr. the hermetically sealed (oltln, If found, will stilt contain aulTU lent evidence of the Identity' of It Inhabitant. Tho ambassador has UKKstd to the president that lo defray the tost of searching for the remains congress be asked to appropriate a fund of IS5, 000 and the president, it Is believed, will approve Utls recommendation. rfllNfil Id Ml Irritations of thg SUa Healed by Hot Baths with And gentle applications of Cuticura Ointment, porta of emollients and greatest of skin cures.
