NO SUM MER WORK
For Pennsylvania Glass Factory.
Wheeling Wants Headquarters.

Wheeling, W. Va, July 13. - The
American Flint Glass Workers con-
vention this afternoon refused to allow
the Milan Glass Co. of Point Marion,
Pa, to operate its factory on rush or
ders in the summer period. The
unions position will cause friction with
large concerns elsewhere, for 1t means
that after the summer closing of the
mills no orders can be filed if nec-
essary to make special runs. Wheel
ing is the latest aspirant for the ma
tional headquarters. A deadlock is on
between Pittsburg and Toledo and
Wheeling hopes to secure the general
offices for the ensuing year.

ANOTHER BLUEBEARD.
He Operated in Hoch's Territory
Along Same Lines.

Chicago. Feb. THAT there is another
matrimonial juggler in Chicago like Jo-
hann Hoch may soon be established
through a discovery made by the police.
This discovery incidentally necessitates
checking out of the many allinces claimed
to have been used by Hoch, under which
name he was reported to have married
Mrs. Mary Schultz of Argos, Ind. in 1900.
The woman has not been seen or heard of
since the month after her marriage Other
of his aliases may be checked off in the
same way later.
Albert Busnteberg, or Bushberg, is the
name which Hoch was believed to have
once used. The police have learned that
another man. also German, who adver-
tised for wives in German newspapers on
the Hoch plan, used this alias. This man
is now in Chicago and is declared to be
married to a woman whom he met by
means of an advertisement in the newspa-
pers and through communication with en-
ployment agents.
Curtailing the Hoch list of 20 wives al
ready has begun by the police When the
process is over it is expected that there
will remain about 10 women who can be
identified positively as having been mar
ried to Hoch.
