FOR SEPARATION or
CHURCH AND STATE
NEW FRENCH MINISTRY IarRo-
DUCES NEW MEASURE

Doubt as to Attitude of the Rouvier
Government DispeIIed - Comes out
Definitely and ConcIusisely for sepa-
ration-First Provision of the Nes
Bill Calls for the Abolition of the
Concordat.
Paris, Feb. 9.-The Rouvier ministry
to-day presented in the chamber of dep
uties the draft of a new bill for the
separation of church and state. This
measure has been anxious ly awaited
owing to doubt raised by friends Of
former Premier Combes concerning the
sincerity Of the new ministry in CAR
rying forward the policy of separation.
When, therefore, Minister Of Public In
struction Bienvenu Martin presented
the chamber of deputies is was greeted
with long applause.
The text Of the new measure makes
the separation of church and state def
mite and conclusive, but omits number
of details os the Cornbes bill which
had aroused antagonism. The essential
points of the new measure are:
First-Abolition Of the concordat.
whereby the relations Of church and
state were established
Secord-Terrninatio of all governs
ment aid and subsidies to religious
sects or functionaries.
Third-Forination of church associa-
tions into civil corporations amenablo
to the same laws as other Organizations,
The bill carries thirty eight articles,
and the text Of article I. is as follows:
THE state henceforth neither recog-
nizes nor contributes to any religious
denomination. Public establishments Of
religion now existing are suppressed.
All religious budgets Of appropriations
Of government departments or com
munes are suppressed. The exercise of
religion is hereafter free, under the sole
restriction that exercise must accord
with public order"
The article abolishing the concordata
says:
.sAll laws and orders relative to the
public organization or recognition of a
religious denomination are abrogated,
particularly the law ratifying the con-
vention made between the pope and the
French government.
1t is expected that the new bill will
be debated in the chamber Of deputies
after the income tax and some other
measures on which Premier Rouvier
desires early action have been dispos-
ed of. However. there is a strong pres
sure by the Combes element for a
speedy hearing on the question and this
may lead to a determination to take up
and debate the bill without awaiting
action on other measures. 1t is expect
ed that the bill will be discussed and
voted upon before the end Of July.

FIVE WOMEN IDENTIFY HOCH
MODERN RLUEBEARD REACHES
CHICAGO FROM NEW YORK:

Large Crowd at station to See Him
None OF His wives Present-Eyident-
Iy Expected Number to Meet Him
Five of Them see Him Later at Po-
lice Headquarters--One Greets Him
with the Exclamation 'sYou Got My
$3.50, Didn't You.' +.
Chicago, Feb. 9.-Johann Hoch, in
dicted for bigamy, suspected of murder
and man Of many aliases, arrived in
Chicago tonight and for several hours
was interrogated by the police, with
small results.
A large crowd had gathered at the La
Sale street station to see the famous
prisoner, but, contrary to general ex-
pectation, there was none Of his alleged
wives among the number. Mrs. Emile
Fischer Hoch declared that she would
not go to the station under any circum-
stances. Mrs. Marie Goerk Hoch as
serted that she was willing to help the
police, but that was all. II will help
prosecute him." she declared, ''but I'm
not SO crazy to see him"
Hoch had evidently expected a num-
ber of his wives to meet him, and he
was plainly disappointed that they did
not come. e.. sss3.1.
Where are those fourteen wives you
talked so much about?" he asked an
officer.
"I guess you have been Joking me
about that part Of the business" said
Hoch. Anyway, there could not be
fourteen of them, for never had that
many. There seems to be a lot of worl-
en- who think I am the only man in the
world who could marry them and get
away with some Of their money. Any
how, not even any of these women are
here r. is -.'&
F When questioned by the police Hoch
admitted that he had married Mrs. Ma
RE GoerE Hoch, and that the marriage
was Illegal. He would admit nothing
else. ~
During the evening five women who
said they were wives of Hoch called at
the police station and were placed in a
separate room under a guard of several
policemen. One of them, Mrs. Emelie
Fischer Hoch, saw Hoch for a minute
and saluted him with the exclamation:
''You got my $3.50, didn't you?"
Hoch made no reply to this, just
smiling. ..,I
Later the five women were, one at a
time, admitted into the office of the in
spector, and all of them identified Hoch
as the man to whom they were mar
ried.
Hoch late tonight after being sweat
ed for hours by the police confessed
that he had married ten women. He
also said that he intended to commit
suicide, and the white powder. found in
fountain pen was poison which he had
bought for this purpose.

tween the broker creditors of Munroe
& Munroe, who were interested in Mon

According to the counsel for the re-
ceiver and creditors of the first a syn
dicate will advance $4,000 to discharge
the royalties and other urgent pay
ments on the Dominion mine properties
and an amount of stock has been set
aside to provide for the payments on
the Dominion purchase contract.
The brokers who became creditors
by reason Of their purchases from Mum

will have set apart for them as secur-
lity for their claims, stock of the Mon
treal & Boston at the rate of ST. per
share. Options upon this stock have
been given which if exercised will en-
title these creditors to be paid their
claims in full in six months.
The management of the property is
taken out of the hands of Munroe &
Munroe and their associates.
THE effect of the settlement Is to
sever Munroe & Munroe from the entire
transaction and allow them with any
assets other than Monreal & Boston
stock, which they may have, to settle
with their other creditors. Z

STRENGTH or JAPANESE ARMY.
Russian Army Organs Estimate--Kuro-
patISin,s Superiority Placed AT 10000.

n F4T Il 7 Y
st. Petersburg, Feb. 9.--The army
organ publishes official statistics Of
Field Marshal Oyama's forces based on
the regimental numbers on the uni
forms of the Japanese killed during the
engagements with General Kuropat-
kin's forces. According to this report
General KuroM, commanding the Jap
anese right, has 76 battalions. II squad
rons and 306 guns, about $4,000 men be-
sides 20 to so reserve battalions. Cen
eral Nodzu, commanding the center,
has so battalions. 6 squadrons and 1893
guns, or $1,000. General Oku, COM
manding the left, including General
Nogi's forces, has 9S battalions, %
squadrons and 342 guns, or 115,000 men.
The number of reservists with General
Nodzu and General OISu is unknown.
The total OF Field Marshal Oyama's
regular troops is placed at 265 900 cav
airy and infantry and $50 guns. The
total number of reservists is probably
100000. Military men estimate General
Kuropatkins superiority at about $4,000
men without including the Sixteenth
army corps which is not yet in the Far
East. These figures are likely to dash
the hopes Of the peace party which has
distinctly been acquiring influence in
high quarters during the last few days.
Rear Admiral Nebogatoff's warships,
forming the third Russian Pacific
squadron, have been painted a blacker
war color. Two more transports ac-
companying this squadron will sail
within week.
