At HEPBURN BILL
Points Out It's Faults and Says It
Can Never Solve the Rate
Problem.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 26.-Gov-
ernor Cummins has issued a statement
in which he opposes the Hepburn bill
on the ground that it will create an
unwieldy and expensive judicial body
to usurp largely the functions Of the
legislative body which, he believes, the
Interstate commerce commission should
be- '-
He says the bill is faulty in that it
does not make the rate effective at
once, but gives sixty days in which rail
ways may delay and afterwards grants
rights of appeal to the railways which
are not granted to the shippers.
The governor expresses belief that
the rate problem cannot possibly be
solved without making a rate effective
Immediately upon the action Of the in
terstate commerce commission and to
remain effective until annulled by COM
petent courts.

BLUEBEARD HOCH
AS HOLMES ALLY
Man of Many Wives Now Sought
as Hatch, Who Helped Do
81 Away with Women.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Belief that Johann
Hoch, the man Of many wives, may
prove to be the elusive and mysterious
Edward Hatch, accomplish Of III. ii.
Holmes, the notorious woman murderer,
whose crimes created general excitement
in 1895, has led the police to an investi-
cation along that line.
At the time Holmes made his confess
sions in prison at Philadelphia before
his execution, Hatch was generally
regarded as myth, but there have
since been revelations that there was
man named Hatch, who did operate
with Holmes in his swindles and who
aided him in making way with women
and children.
Because of the similarity Of Hoch's
operations with the methods of 81. III.
Holmes, the cleverness with which Hoch
apparently disposed of many of his
wives, and other singular circumstances,
the police are working to establish the
fact that there was an Edward Hatch
Hotch-and that he is Johann Hoch,
the man now being hunted.
That Hoch used the name Hatch or
Hotch as one Of his aliases at the time
Of the Holmes outrage, is claimed by
detectives, and this may lead to
search in Toronto and Montreal, here
Holmes declared in one of his confess
sions that Hatch killed the Pietzel
children of Philadelphia.
Five white powders, supposed to be
the kind given to his wives by Johann
Hoch, have been found in an old writ
ing desk taken from the house at 643O
Union street, formerly occupied by
Hoch. They are now being analysed.
William Nusser has told the police Of
another alleged wife of Hoch Is. Nusser
says Martha Hercfeldt, now, living in
Pasadena, CAL, married Hoch in 1895.
Nusser baked the wedding cake. Miss
Hercefeldt was living with her sister,
Mrs. Mary Burmeister, at the time.
Hoch took $1,000 from this woman, it
is charged, and also got few hundred
dollars from Mrs. Burmeister and disap.
peared.

BRYAN ANDPARKER
HOLD CONFERENCE
Nebraskan Says New Democratic
Party's Strength Must Come
from West.


New York, Jan. 26.-A. political con-
ference lasting three hours has been
held here between William J. Bryan
and Alton B. Parker. The meeting is
said to have been arranged by Nor
man E. Mack Of Buffalo, member Of
the democratic national committee.
It is stated by the Herald that Mr..
Bryan made his views quite plain and
expressed the belief that the west and
south must have the dominant voice
in the management Of the democratic
national interests. ~'s .-9.'- .-
He predicted that within few years
there will be great internal changes in
both party organizations, and men who
now call themselves democrats will de-
clare themselves republicans, while pro-
fessed republicans will declare them
selves democrats; that the new strength
for the democratic party will come from
the western, while the new republicans
will appear in the eastern states, and
that the "trust question - will over
shadow everything else in the next
campaign. There was no discussion of
any financial question.
