Hoch to Face Fourteen Wives.

New York.-John j. A. Hoch. arrest
ed here in response to message from
the Chicago police to apprehend the
Chicago Bluebeard, will be surrendered
to the Illinois authorities.
Bluebeard Hoch will leave New York
in charge Of detectives for Chicago, and
will be there in time to be present at
the inquest of his last alleged victim.
Arrangements have been made for Il
Of Hoch's deserted wives to meet him
upon his arrival in the Windy City,
while it is alleged that 90 others have
been slain by him.
Hoch is well educated, dresses well,
and is prepossessing. His ponderous
shoulders are somewhat broad for his
five feet six of stature. He weighs about
40 pounds, but in unusually agile. His
dark eyes are constantly ON the alert.
He is an entertaining talker.
The number of women now actually
believed to have been at some time the
wives of Hoch number %; 10 Of these
are from Chicago, from Milwaukee, Q
from Brooklyn, and one each from vi
emma, Wheeling, w. Va, Argos, Ind,

known his presence at her home to the

RioTINo GOES ON IN RUSSIA.
Mobs Crazed by Hunger and Food
UnproCurable.

Warsaw.-The street railway service
here has been partly resumed with sol
diers riding before and behind most Of
the cars. Few cabs are running. Street
fighting continues, and the mob is grow
ing i'll dangerous fashion. There bave
been dangerous collisions between the
people and soldiers. Revolutiorists
attacked the troops with rcvolvers and
knives. Any criticism Of the troops
must be qualified by the fact'that they
are fighting under trying conditions,
being constantly exposed to snipers ard
occasionally stabbed by passers-by. Cen
orally the troops are well behaved, but
sometimes there are excesses by indi-
vidual soldiers who have become intoxi-
Gated. There have been many sad cases
of wholly Innocent people shot acciden-
tally as they turned street corners.
Fighting is renewed every morning,
people firing from their houses on the
troops in the streets. 1t is difficult to
find single alcohol monopoly shop un-
harmed. All have been plundered and
most Of them have been burned. Jew
ish shops have been the special mark
for plunder.
A mob of desperate and hungry wom-
ell tried to thrust soldiers bayonets
aside to get at a bakery. The guard
proved good natured and avoided hurt
ing the women. The soldiers were ac-
customed to the sight of misery, but the
haggard, starving wretchedness of these
women will haunt them to their dying
day. The situation on the whole has
not improved. The rioters avoid open
conflict, but seize every opportunity to
wreak sly vengeance on the troops.
Food is unprocurable, and bread is at
famine prices. The ambulances are
busy night and day.
