THEY TRAVEL
IN 8LOOMERS
TWO YOUNG LADY TRAVELLERS
FROM CHICAGO COMING HERE
ON WAY AROUND THE WORLD.

SAN FRANCISCO, September O.
Louera Conley and Anna Pinch, two
interesting young newspaper women
from Chicago, are due to arrive in San
Francisco within the next day or two
on their way around the world.
These young ladies will not fail to
attract attention on account of the
manner in which they are clad. Their
makeup consists of a pair of black silk
boomers and cravenette tailor-made
gowns that are said to be literally full
of pockets
The young women have planned a
most extraordinary trip for themselves,
it being their intention to seek out
places where no white women have
been before.
Their itinerary, as they have framed
it, takes in the Hawaiian Islands, jap
an, the Philippines, Borneo, Australia,
New ealand, India, Persia, Africa,
Spain, Norway, Sweden and Russia,
They will be gone from this country
about five years, and a number of the
American papers will publish letters
from them telling of their travels and
experiences.
They are bringing with them to this
city a sealed message from the Chica-
go Merchants Association to the Mer-
chants Association of San Francisco.
They also carry credentials from the
Mayor and Postmaster of Chicago, from
Senator Cullom and from several other
prominent men.
Miss Conley is 25 and Miss Pinch %
years of age, and they both have been
complimented by many people for pos
sessing the courage required to under
take such an extensive journey.

Summary Of His Life.
In an interview Johann Hoch vouch-
es for the following summary Of his
career, ending with his arrival in Chi
cago, in 1895. 1t has been reported
that his operations began in 1881, or
about that time, but according to his
own story he did not arrive in this
country until two years later. The his
tory is:

Whether this character will be con-
victed of the crimes with which he in
charged is merely a matter of conjec-
ture, but whatever turns up it will ba

How His Downfall Came About.
The last of Johann Hoch's alleged
dupes, however, proved his downfall
and with the accusation of Mrs. Anne
liza Fisher, a Chicago woman, came the
apprehension of a man whose career,
the police say, is without an equal or
even rival in the history of any city
in this country. Last December Hoch
inserted a matrimonial advertisement
in alocal German publication, stating his
longing for co~mpanionship and asking
that some kind woman become his life
companion. Mrs. Marie Welker, a
widow who owned a prosperous con
f~ectionery business, replied to his ap-
peal by answering the lad" After a
brief courtship she allowed herself to
be persuaded that she was the only
woman who could relieve his loneli-
ness. Hoch, who had previously rent
ed and furnished a small fiat, took his
latest wife to the house, which, incl
d~entally, happened to be near the To-
cation of the notorious Holmes "cas-
tie" She had disposed of her store
and turned the money derived from its
sale over to her husband, who, repre-
senting himself to be wealthy, said he
did not care for the cash, but desired
to invest it in a safe project, for her
benefit. The day following her mar
riage she became deathly sick. A ply
stefan was called, and Mr.. Hoch was
informed that his wife vas suffering
from kidney trouble. The arrival of
a trained nurse followed, but, although
her condition was worse, the nurse was
sen away the following day. Then
Mrs. Fisher, the sister of the sick
woman, came to care for her. One day
later, while Mr.. Hoch was alone with
his wife, she died. Mr.. Hoch went
downstairs to inform the dead WON
ans sister, after which Mrs. Fisher
went upstairs to clean the death cham
Der. Very soon after this operation
the alleged bigamist proposed to Mrs.
Fisher that she become his wife.

Fisher reports Hoch to have said to
her. Marie was not my first wife. l

was an invalid, and now, just as l
thought 1 was to have another happy
home, my new wife is dead. am
lonely and have no means. You are a
good woman and a good housewife, and
I want you to marry me. l will bring
YOUR children here from Germany and
YOU can be happy with me"
Repulsed Then Accepted Hoch.
Mrs. Fisher has nine children in Ger
many. Continuing her narrative of the
occurrence, she said:
81 resented his proposal, and told him
he should not talk of such things so
soon after his wife's death. January
15 rode with him to the cemetery,
and again, over his wife's grave, he
asked me to marry him. The follow
ing Wednesday he came to my home
and I consented to become his wife.
He told me we would go out of town
and no one would know of it until my
sister had been dead a long time. I
went with him to Joliet that afternoon
and we were married. We came back
and went to my house that night. The
next morning he asked me to give him
$3.50 I had saved to pay off a mortgage
he claimed was held against the house
