CONTRACTS FOR ARMOR.
Announcement of Award by Secretary
Morton.

Secretary Morton this afternoon ap-
proved the recommendation of the bureau
of ordnance and the special board of ord
nance experts for the award of contracts
for armor plate for the battle ship New
Hampshire and the armored cruisers Mon
tana and North Carolina. Under these
contracts the Bethlehem Steel Company
will furnish the armor for the battle ship
and one of the cruisers, aggregating 1886
tons, and bolts and nuts for the three
ships, aggregating ninety-four tons.
The Carnegie Steel Co. will furnish the
armor for one cruiser aggregating 2,16l
tons. The bid of the Mdvale Steel Co.,
which was from 81 to SIS ton lower than
the bids of the other two companies, was
rejected.
1t was stated at the Navy Department
this afternoon that the Secretarys action
was based on the recommendation of ex-
pert ordnance officers, who made special
investigation of the subject, including a
personal inspection of the plant of the
Nidvale Steel Company.
The Secretary agreed with the special
board that it would not be advisable to
award an additional contract for armor to
the Midvale Company until that company
has demonstrated its bility to manufacture
suitable armor under its existing contract
at the rate required. ~
The Secretary said that while the trial
plates submitted by the Midvale company
had successfully stood the prescribed tests,
the department does not deem that fact In
itself a sufficient guarantee that the COM
pany with its present plant can produce
suitable armor in required quantities to
justify the award of a further contract to
that company at this time. s,-.ifN

RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED.
Committee to Determine as to I'm

Building Inspector Ashford has recon-
mended to the Commissioners that COM
mittee of three persons be appointed to de-
termine what steps are necessary to render
safe the building at 9th and streets,
known as "Buzzard's Roost, Or direct it's
removal. MIR. Ashford has named Mr.. L. E.
DesseZ one member of the committee,
and suggests that the trustees controlling
the building. Messrs. Samuel Ross and Geo.
f. Emmons. nominate a second member of
the committee to pass upon the building.
The recommendations have been approved
by the Commissioners
Mr.. Ashford recently reported the build
ing as unsafe, and ordered it condemned.
hearing was held before the Commission
ers on the matter. and the trustees ap-
pealed from the order of the building in
SDector. g.
In reporting subsequent to the appeal
MI Ashford says that inspection of the
building shows that the owners since the
order of condemnation was issued have
cleaned out some of the debris and other
evidences. of dilapidation. He reports that
the east wall is not in safe condition that
the north wall is badly bulged, and one of
the walls in the light shaft is cracked and
settled. The third-story wall he says, is
likely to collapse and wreck the entire
structure if the wooden supports in the
masonry should give way in case of fire.

THOSE WHO KNOW HIM.
Comment at the Capitol on Death of
Jos. Manley.

Representative Powers of Maine said this
afternoon: y have known Mr.. Manley all
my lifetime. He was a gentleman of great
executive ability, generous, sociable and
had many strong friends AS chairman of
the republican state committee he had very
much to do for many years with shaping
the policies and legislation of Maine
1t was his ambition to be governor of
the state Ill health compelled him, under
the advice of the physicians, to withdraw
from the canvass. Many think that if he
had been named a candidate he would have
been nominated and elected. His death is
a loss to the state and the party that he
has so ably assisted in his lifetime.
He was one of the most intimate friends
of James G. Blaine, and l think that Mr..
Blaine relied upon him as much, if not
more. than upon. any other man in the
state"
Representative Littleffeld said: "He at
tanned great prominence in local politics
and also rendered valuable aid TO the party
in national politics. He was successful
business man, very attractive personally
with fine intellect and great executive
ability. A.. ,,,,-
he won men to him by his force of char
acter, and retained their friendship through
life. He was one of Names most promi-
nent sons and his loss will be deeply felt"

Chicago Search Reveals Possibility of
More Matrimonial JuggIers.

CHICAGO, February THE Chronicle
says today: That there is another matrimo-
NAL juggler in Chicago like Johann Hoch
may soon be established through discov-
cry just made by the police. This discovery
incidentally necesstates checking off many
OF the aliases claimed to have been used by
Hoch. under which name he was reported
to have married Mrs. Mary Schultz of Ar
COS, Ind. in 1900. a woman who has never
been seen or heard of since the month of
her marriage.
Other of his aliases may be checked off in
the same way later. Albert Bushteberg, or
Buschberg, is the name which Hoch was
believed to have once used. The police
have learned that another man, also a
German who advertised for wives in Ger
man newspapers on the Hoch plan, used
this alias. This man is unknown in Chi
cago, and is declared to be married to a
woman who he met by means of an adver-
usement in the newspapers and through
communication with employment agents
Inspector Shippy. who found Bushteberg
and talked with him once, has begun an
investigation into the Argos case. He is
satisfied that Hoch never used the alias and
has evidence to prove that man now I'M
der surveillance advertised and wrote let
ters TO women in Chicago, representing
himself as Albert Bushteberg. Curtailng
the Hoch list of wives already has been be-
gun by the police. When the process is
over il is expected that there will remain
about ten women who be identified
positively as having been married to Hoch.
Variation in Experience.
A variation in the experience of Johann
Hoch's alleged wives was told today by
Mrs Amelia Kauke Hoch of Elgin, Ill.
She says she married Hoch as Froie at Au-
rora Ill, two years ago. Shortly after the
marriage she became violently i'll after TAX

IS NOW A PRISONER
s, A. CROFT WAS TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY.

The proceedings today in the Croft
case began when United States At
torney Beach appeared before the
Court of Appeals and moved that the man
date in the Post Office Department con-
spiracy case be sent down This was done.
A little later Attorney Samuel Maddox,
counsel for the Croft brothers. interrupted
trial in Criminal Court, No. 1. by consent,
and announced to Justice Wright that Sam
uel A. Croft was ill and in no condition to
be moved from his house. In support of his
statement Attorney Maddox produced the
certificates of two physicians.
Counsel added that he understood it
was the intention of the United States
attorney to insist that Sam Croft be sur
rendered into custody today.
IF he intends to do that and thereby
imperil his life Mr.. Beach might just as
we'll go to his house with a gun" Mr.
Maddox suggested.
United States Attorney Beach thereupon
insisted that Samuel A Croft be surren-
dered at once. The prosecuting attorney
explained that Mr.. Croft, his bondsman
and his attorney had been advised in ample
time of what was expected of them; that
Samuel A. Croft had been in the speakers
office last Thursday, and that the Office had
been communicated with for information
as to what articles of clothing s. A. Croft
could take with him to the penitentiary
Regarded as Sudden Stroke.
"In view of these acts" Mr.. Beach went
on to say, this seems to be rather sudden
stroke of illness. 1t is not the desire of the
government to subject this defendant to
anything that might imperil his health, but
he should be put into the custody of the
government, and his physical condition can
then be determined.
Attorney Maddox said he understood it
to be the position of the United States
attorney that the warden of the Jail or
the latter's assistants should decide
whether Samuel A. Croft was physically
able to leave here today. According to
Mr.. Maddox there was no possibility of s.
A. Croft running away-he could not do so
If he wanted-and that two physicians had
certified that it would be extremely dam
gerous for him to travel at this time.

insisted upon the surrender of 8. A. Croft
