HE SAVED HOCH'S NECK
Millionaire Miner Read the Mans
Story in q Newspaper.

A casual glance at q newspaper by
an entire stranger who happened to be
spending a day in Cleveland. Ohio, it
has just been discovered, is what inter
vened to save Johann Hoch, alleged
murderer and bigimist, from death at
a time when his execution seems Ger
tain and has resulted in the postpone
ment os action of the courts until a.
thorough inquiry has been made by the
supreme court oe the state.
The man who unsolicited, rendered
his check for the amount that would
make possible a stay Of execution and
an appeal to the supreme court is Jas
H McNicholas, q millionaire miner with
headquarters at Portland. Ore.
According to the statement made by
Mr. McNicholas during a visit to Chi
cago he was on route last July to
HoruellsvflIe, n. Y. At Cleveland he
read the story of Hoch's trial and the
critical situation he was in, with no
money to assist him in carrying his
case to the higher courts for review
Hoch's condition made such an impress
sion upon McNicholas mind that he
was unable to think of anything else
Finally he learned the names of the at
tornevs who were assisting in Hoch' s
defense and that Representative Conner
ford was at Springfield seeing to secure
a stay Of execution from Governor Chas.
Deneen.
McNicholas Immediately wired Conner
ford that the sum necessary to guaran-
tee Hoch another trial was forthcoming
on demand and later wired the amount.
$500 to Comerford thus saving Hoch
at the last moment.
Because OF his dislike for notoriety
AIcNicholas' name has not been made
public before as Hoch's benefaetor.
On Monday next the reprieve granted
to secure hearing of Hoch's case in
the supreme court will have served its
purpose. On that occasion his case viii
be argued and the decision that means
life or death to Hoch win be rendered

PEACE is 4 FACT.
HOstilities Between Russia and
Japan Officially End.
The Respective EmperOrs Have
Signed the Treaty.
ONE MORE FORMALITY.
Copies OF the Document Yet to
Be Exchanged.
This Is Expected to Take Place
in Washington.
NE MORE FORMALITY.

Washington, Oct. 14.-The emperors
of Russia and Japan today signed their
respective copies of the peace treaty
thus officially ending the war.
Baron ROsen, the Russian ambassa-
dor, called at the state department to-
day and saw Secretary Root. While he
had no official advices on the subject
information had reached him to the ef-
feet that the emporer of Russia had
early in the day affixed his signature
to the copy of the treaty drawn at
Portsmouth and engrossed on vellum at
st. Petersburg. It was not necessary
for the ambassador to convey this in
formation officially to the state depart
ment, for according to the plan arrang-
ed yesterday the Russian foreign Office
was to advise the French government
Of the act of signature and that gov
ernment in turn was to advise the
japanese government.
few minutes after noon Minister
Takahira appeared at the state depart
ment with message stating that the
emperor of Japan had signed the treaty
at Tokioa A cablegram was immedi-
ately sent to Spencer Eddy, charge of
the American embassy at st. Peters
burg, who was instructed to inform the
Russian foreign Office that the emperor
OF Japan had performed his part and
50 tHeSe copies OF the treaty having
been duly signed and each of the great
nations lately engaged in hostilities
having been officially informed of the
fact that Russo-Japanese war which
began February s, 1904, with the attack
by Togo's fleet upon the Russian ships
at Port Arthur, terminated officially to-
day, October II.
Little remains to be done to meet the
official requirements. At a later date,
probably in the course of month or
two copies of the treaty Will EPe actual
" exchanged, probably in Washington
by the Russian ambassador and the
Japanese minister of charge, Tor it is
possible that Minister Takahira will be
fore that occurrence have gone to Japan
on leave of absence. Thdre is moth
ing for this government to do in the way
Of proclamation.
The Aurora, JeIntchug and the Oleg
constituting Admiral Enquist's squad
ron at Manila, and the Lena at Mare
| island, which have been interned fol
months may probably now be- released
whenever the Russian government sees
! fit to make the request. though as it is
understood the ships have been under
going extensive repairs to make them
/ seaworthy, it may be some time yte be-
tore they are ready to sail.

GERMANY'S CLOSE CALL
The Kaiser's Subjects Believe They
Narrowly Escaped a War.

Berlin, Oct. 14.-The disclosures in
France Of alleged British offers of all
lance against Germany are so thor
oughly believed here that the power
ful naval league with its 100000 mem
bers and ali the apparatus of agitation
is already moving for a new naval
program that shall further increase
Germany's defensive resources against
Great Britain Popular distrust of
Great Britain has naturally swollen to
great proportions and the semi-o official
denlals in London can scarcely over
come the convictions now formed that
Germany has had narrow escape
from war in which although she
would have been victorious on land
would have resulted in her being
crushed at sea and damaged along the
coast with the consequent destruction
of her oversee commerce. The events
of the last four months have siIenced
the opponents of a naval increase ex-
cept the socialists and radicals.
While time and money beyond Ger
many's s resources would be necessary
TO equal Great Britain's present navy
not to speak of her future buildings
yet the feeling is that Germany must
for defensive reasons, build as manv
more ships as the country's finances

months ago decided to introduce in the
reichstag measure substftutinr
large for small cruisers in the author
lied naval programme. Whether The

PAT GROVES PLANS.
Pinkerton Says They Included Assas-
sination With Kidnapping.

Chicago. Oct. 14.-William A. Pinker-
ton declared today that Pat Grove. the
alleged kidnaper Of Edward Cudahy,
jr., was suspected of completely in q
well organized plot to kidnap and hold
for a $4,000 ransom the child of prom
inent New York railroad magnate. The
name of the magnate was refused by
Mr.. Pinkerton, but he considered the
plot OF sufficient Importance to notify
the railroad man. The Cudahy kid
naping at Omaha occurred several weeks
after the New York plot was discovered
and as the plan there followed was
along exactly similar lines Groves name
was not entirely removed from the in
vestigation. According to Pinkerton the
investigation tended to show that Grove
had intended also to assass&nate Cen
eraI Counsel o. NJ. Spencer, of the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy railroad
company at St joseph, Mo-, and then
kidnap a member of Judge Spencer's
family

that the department Of justice has no
intention of dropping the prosecution
Of Senator J. r. Burton, whose case
has been set for retrial in st. Louis,

be pressed vigorously and that the de-
partment of justice was Indifferent
over the outcome Of the second trial.
1t was in reply to these reports that
Attorney General Moody made the
