Chicago, July 27.-"Blue Beard
Johann Hoch will be hanged tomorrow
for wife murder. Appeal to the state
board of pardons this afternoon was
without avail. The governor had pre-
viously declined to further interfere.
Springfield, Ills. July 27.-Regard-
ing the case against Johann Hoch, who
is 10 be hanged tomorrow, it was as
certained at the governors office today
on reliable authority that the reasons
which induced the governor to refrain
from interfering were the following:
That HOch was first sentenced to be
hanged on June 21; that through his
counsel he requested a reprieve in Or
der to be able to present his case to the
Supreme court in the June term, the
court being then in session.
1t is learned that the cas- has not
been presented to any justice.
1t has been represented to the gov
ernOr by the states attorneys office Of
Cook county that the case has been
tried with the utmost are for rights
of the defendant and that the only
point raisedby the defendant was as
10 the right of n woman he had mar
ried to testify against her hu bard in
Il criminal case. On that point, it ap-
pears that the state proved that before
IIOch had married the woman in ques-
ton, he had been married to another
woman, who is still living and from
whom he never had been divorced.
The Supreme court has decided against
the contention raised by counsel for
HOch.

TIE BENNINGTON DISASTER
A Board of Investigation to Collect All
Evidence Pertinent to the Horror.
Board Of Inquiry May be Appointed.

San Diego, al, July 27.-The flag
ship Chicago, of the Pacific squadron,
with Admiral Goodrich on board, ar
rived this morning. Soon after the
Chicago came to anchor, Commander
Young, of the Bennington, and Captain
Drake, of Mare Island, went on board
the Chicago and were closeted with the
admiral.
A board Of investigation was ap-
pointed whose duties will be to collect
evidence of whatever nature may be
pertinent to the disaster on the gun
boat Bennington, and to put this evil
dence in shape for the consideration of
Admiral Goodrich. With the report Of
this board in hand the admiral will de-
eide whether to appoint a board of in
quiry. At 10 o'clock this morning this
board of investigation. consisting of
Lieutenant Commander +. W. R1rtlctt,
Lieutenant Commander Halstead and
Lieutenant Moody, convened on board
the flagship and after IL consultation
with the admiral, adjourned to the
Bennington. The report Of the board
is not expected for several days.
In the meantime, the work Of clean
ing up the gunboat proceeds slowly, the
boilers being left in the position in
which they were found after the eNplo-
sion, until inspected by the Investigate
!ng board. Divers have plugged the
intake pipes from the outside, thus
stopping the inflow of water. Thus
far, it is reported, the divers have
found nothing wrong with the hull
from the outside. Scalings from the
boilers will be examined by the navy
yard chemist. it is said, to determine
whether gases created by corrosion and
chemical action caused the explosion.
The death list still remains at 81
men.

Interesting Letter From

New York, Feb. 25.-An institution

woman who finds herself out of work

TO be erected in this city. 1t is a sad
reflection upon city of the known
benevolence and charity of New York
that such place has not existed
heretofore. The movement looking
to the erection Of such a hotel was
begun some time ago and has steadily
grown. until now the principal mer-
chants and business men of New

and other public-spirited citizens, are
ready to cooperate in the work of
ameHorating the condition of those

Boosted Rice-Cal1e Business.
A down-town server of quick lunch
is authority for the statement that the
Russo Japanese war has boosted the
rice-cake business.
"We sell more rice than we ever
did" he says, "and I account for it in
the fact that people have been read
ing about the Japs' prowess in battle
and the fact that rice forms an i'm
portant part of their diet. The infer
ence, you see, is that rice must be a
good thing to eat. That's the way
the idea seems to work out at all
events. Americans, with all their
originality, are the most initiative
people on earth, and nothing
catches them so quickly as a health
fad. In restaurants you can observe
this every day. 1t used to be fish and
wheat that were doomed as supplying

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If YOU are feel

taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the

1t corrects inability to hold urine and

They didn't perform all the duties

The reasons these precautions We're
taken was not because any of the

been carefully compiled-but because
extra walters had been hired for the

Croton Water for Power.

The energetic Merchants associa-
tion ia considering a scheme to save
the city $5,OOO.OO0 annually by using
the water power of the Croton aque-
duct for lighting and heating pur-
poses.
The plan is to install several large
turbine wheels to generate power, and
the idea is to combat the gas and cleo
trical monopoly by furnishing the
city this power at the rate of $50 an
nually for each horsepower While
the main power plant, according to
the plan proposed, is to be located at
Croton, there are to be turbine wheels
outside of the water reservoirs east
and west of the Hudson river and on
Long Island. These turbines, it is
claimed, will develop power enough
to generate electricity To light the
streets and public buildings, to sup
ply all motor power needed by the
city and to leave surplus power
from which the city can gain a sub
stantial revenue.
According to the plan, which Off
GERS of the Merchants association say
never before has been brought for
ward, the reservoir water is to pass
through the turbine wheels, placed in
air-tight bulkheads, which will not
lessen the water pressure in the city,
nor injure the water for domestic
