was accordingly done.
1t is evident that it, the bill, re.
hected the views of the administra-
ticn. Mr.. Dillon, it is safe to say,
did not prepare that bill without
first submitting it to his superiors
and receiving their approval.
A bill providing for the establish
ment of National Guard armory
at Parkersburg was introduced by
Senator Caldwell late on Monday.
TIE bill provides that the building
shall be known as the Arthur G..
Boreman armorY and that there
shall be secured by the proper State
military authorities at or near the
said city sufficient quantity freal
estate upon which shall be erected
and constructed an armory build
ing, which shall be three hundred
feet long, two hundred and fifty feet
wide and of sufficient height. 1t
must be constructed of fireproof ma
terial and shall not cost less than
t75, 900, which sum must be con-
tanned in the appropriation bill for
the next two years.
The bill provides that while the
armory shall be under the control
of The military authorities OF the
State, It may be used as a place for
public meetings and other such uses
at times when such meetings do not
conflict with the military uses
This is the first step in the drec.
tion of providing suitable homes for
the militia companies of the State.
If this armory is secured steps will
likely be taken to get one at Hun
tington, where three companies are
located. Following Huntington,
Fairmont will likely come next, as
the question of home for the com
pany at that place has been a weigh
ty one.
The bill of Senator Caldwell has
the sanction of the guard and every
effort will be made to have it passed.
A bill to amend and re enact sec
tion "a of Chapter 3, Of the Code Of
West Virginia, relating to the form
Of ballot to be used at any election
held in the State of West Virginia.

president Of the club and in the pro-
auction OF a souvenir which told the
story Of score Of years of successful
dining, the dinner dealt with political
events, which were treated with the
usual levity and burlesque.
The presence of Mr.. Roosevelt af-
forded an opportunity for many point
ed allusions to the doings of the ad-
ministration and views Of the chief
magistrate. The Inauguration of Major
Carson as president, with a Rough
Rider accompaniment and reference
to the charge of the Presidents regi-
ment at Santiago, was managed by a

YOUTH MAKES TROUBLE
FOR KATE MARSDEN
Excited by Presence in New York City
of the Friend of Hawaii's
IeDerS.


NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.--Owing to the
zeal of youth who thought he had
civic duty to perform, there was tur-
moil to-day in the managers office of a
Broadway hotel. The agitation spread
to the police and health departments
and the immigration Bureau on Ellis
Island.
The young man was in the foyer Of
the hotel on Friday night when he
heard some one inquire for Miss Kate
Marsden. He recollected that in San
Francisco paper four years before he
had read about her going to the Sand
wich Island leper colony.
His mother, who was with him, saw
the woman later in a corridor and
asked her If she were not Miss Mars
den. On an affirmative reply being
given, the youth proceeded to stir up
things.
He first reported to Captain Cottrell,
asked for advice. The hotel official
was told that If even the fact was as
the youth feared there was no danger
in this climate. Neither would the su-
perintendent of Ellis Island give the
youth any satisfaction.
The story got about the city, and
the hotel was besieged by many anx-
ious inCuirers.
/ The woman whose presence had
given the youth such concern has for
years visited ieper camps as a mission
ary and has written books on colonies
in Siberia Sc said that there was no
cause any fear for the safety Of any
one who might be in the same hotel
with her. for she was in perfect health.
/ Miss Marsden sailed this morning
for her home in England.

ARE SUSPECTED
OF AIDING HOCH

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-In searching for
woman who might be interested in
hiding Johann Hoch, the alleged Blue
dence which leads them to believe that
Hoch was aided in his quest for
wealthy widows by two persons, man
and a woman. The officers intimate
that several arrests may soon be made.
The man in the case is an employ
ment agent and the woman is said to
have been one of Hoch's numerous
wives. Each has supplied the police
with much information. There is, how
ever. feud between the pair and each
accuses the other. The man declares
that the woman has been illegally mar
ried many times and that there are
charges pending against her in connec-
ton with one of the marriages. In re-
turn the woman asserts that her ac-
cuser was an accomplice of Hoch and
watched the cash windows of savings
banks in order to spot widows who
made deposits.
Hoch in the person of Mrs. A. s. Houk
of Peoria, ILL.,, may be the outcome Of
a letter received by Assistant Chief of
Police Schuettler from the woman to-
day. Mrs. Houk asked that a picture
and description of Hoch be sent her.
She said that some years ago she mar
ried a man who gave his name as
Houk, and that this man may have
been Johann Hoch.
Fearing that Hoch may have sue
ceeded in sailing for Europe, the police
to-day directed that wireless telegraph
messages be sent from New York to all
steamships that left that port within
the past three days.
The police tonight announced that
they had received indisputable evidence
of the fact that Hochs actual name is
Jacob Schmidt. His birthplace was

an exchange Of professors between

The Emperor has invited several
German professors to present him with
their ideas on the subject. Professor
Adolph Harnack, one of those invited,

ages were not tied fast to any one

HEBREWS OBSERVE THEIR
NEW YEARS ANNIVERSARY
Many Stores Are Closed Today Services in the SynagOgues
Lead by Prominent Men Some Places will be Open Tonight

Rosh Hoshannah, the New Year of
the Jews, began at sundown last
night, and, today, State street pre-
sents an appearance of its being
Sunday, all of the Jewish establish
ments being closed. Services were
held last night at $50 and were held
today.
A feature of the New York service
is the sounding OF the shofar, which
is their manner of proclaiming that
the God of Israel is the creator of the
universe. By reason of the Jewish
Sabbath and Now Year coming on
the same day the blowing of the sho-
far will be avoided In the orthodox
synagogues throughout the country,
however, the shofar will be sounded
tomorrow.
New Year is time of general re-
ioicing among the Jews and is the
next important feast to the day OF

mess was transacted. AS a matter
of fact the committees did not begin
their sessions until late and, once
under way, they were put through in
short order.
The aldermen spent the early part
of the evening in discussing events,
including politics and the probable
outcome of the fall election. The
republicans seemed to be perfectly
satisfied with the outlook and the re-
cent activities of the democrats does
not seem to bother them any.
One of the causes of the lateness
in starting was the absence of the

MAN ATTEMPTED TO
ENTER BACK WINDOW.
NeighbOr Saw Fellow at DaniaI
SandOrffs House Late Last Night.

A strange man prowling about the
rear of Daniel Sandorff's residence
at 35 Mechanic street was noticed
early this morning. Mrs. Harry B.
Herbert, of SO Mechanic street, was
aroused by the noise he made and
looked out in time TO see the fellow
trying to open a kitchen window in

to him, asking what he wanted and,
without stopping to answer, he took
to his heels and disappeared.

noise but that Mrs. Herbert had told

nominations for local men.
Thomas F. Burke, the choice OF
the local delegates for sheriff, is not
going to have the easiest time land

had mined Andrew S. Church, there
is still a possibility of him being

date has appeared in the field, how
ever,. in the person of County Physi-
clan Carroll, of Dayton. DR.. Carroll,
il is said, is backed by the delegates
from the southern end of the county.
