STILL ANOTHER HOOK
NEW MATRIMONIAL JUGGLER AP-
 PEARS ON SCENE.
Two Germans are Said to Have Used the Same Alias and CoufusiOn of Charges Was the
 Result.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The Chronicle to- day says that there Is another matrimo- niaI juggIer in Chicago like Josann Hoeh may soon be establiFhsd through a discovery .Ssl enade N the neiicf This dIscovery fneidentall, 2necessitates checking .off many aiiases claimed to have been used by Hoch. under which name he was reported to have married Mrs Mary Schultz of Argos, Ind, in 1900, woman who has never been seen or heard of since the month after her marriage. Other of his aliases may be checked of in the same way later.
 Albert Bushteberg of Buscherberg is the name which Hook is believed to have once used. The police have learned that another man. also a Ger man, who advertised for wives in Ger man newspapers on the Hoch plan used this alias. This man is now in Chica- Ro and Is declared to be married to a woman whom he met by means of an advertisement in newspaper and through communication with mat rImonial agencies.
 Inspector Shippy, who found Bushte- berg and talked with him once, has be- gun an investigation into the Argos case He is satisfied that Hoch never used the alias and has evidence to prove that a man now under surveil- lance advertised and wrote letters to women in Chicago, representing him self as Albert Bushteberg.
 Curtailing the Hoch list of forty wives already has been begun by the police. When the process Is over 1t is expected that there will remain about ten women who can be identified posi- lively as having been married to Hoch
 TANnnnO he merous women now coming forward in the vicinity of New York claiming that a man answering Johann Hoch's description married them several years ago is Mrs. Wilhelmina Rummler of CarIstadt, N. J. She has not yet seen the prisoner, but has examined his pic- lures. Mrs. RummIer claims to have lost $6,000 in her matrimonial venture and is now almost penniless.
 'On May 27. 19O3.' she said, T had prosperous florist business in West Nyack, N Y. A man applied to me for job as foreman. He gave his name as Johann Schultz and said he come from Chicago. His manner of talking charmed me and at last proposed and I decided to become his wife. Twenty minutes after the cereNony, my hus- band asked me if I had any money. I told him that had S6,000, and within the next week he had drawn it and told me that he had just $6,0O0 more and that he was going to put the S12,O0O in a safe investment. He spoke so nicely and kissed me so often that believed him.
 Every day he would go to the post office himself and return with dozens of letters. He never allowed me to read any of them. On December 22, 1903. Schultz disappeared. heard later that he had been seen in Cincinnati, and threatened to kill me If did not keep silent. Since that day I never spoke of him
 in the world. and I was left alone with my three children to make my living"

 The proceedings on the bill through out the day had been in committee of the whole but when the senate at 7:15 resumed It's sitting as the senate, Mir. spooner gave notice that he would de- mand a separate vote on the Bard amendment for statehood for New Mexi- co separately. This notice under the parliamentary practice of the senate had the effect of reviving that ques- ton and it was again taken up and amendments to the provision were de- clared to be in order. One of these was offered by Mir. Dubois and was a reservation by congress of the right to Iegislate on the subject of polygamy. IL was voted down.
 An amendment proposed by Mp. Kearns provided that all portions of Arizona lying north of Carolina river shall be annexed to Utah.
 The ayes and nays were ordered and the amendment was accepted 3S to 33. The vote was then taken on the amend ment to admit New Mexico to separate statehood. This time the amendment was lost by a tie vote of SS to ss-
 Mir Bacon then offered an amend ment eliminating Arizona and New Mexico entirely from the bill. The amendment was adopted-3s to S6.
 Mir. Bard then in slightly different form renewed his motion to admit New Mexica as a separate state and the ac- tion prevailed-40 to S7.
 Mir. Foraker moved to lay on the ta- ble a motion by Mfr. Beveridge to re- consider and that motion prevailed, 3s to 3S.
 This was the last roll call The bill as amended then was passed without division and on motion of Mir. Foraker the senate at $50 D. m. adjourned.

THE STRIKE
 SITUATION Serious Events in Poland
 and Caucasus. CASUALTIES REPORTED Troops Hurried to Warsaw
 and Kutn0. Violent Proclamation Issued Calling on Operatives to Enlist Under Red Flag and Prepare for Renewal
 of DemOnstratiOns.

St. Petersburg, Feb. S.--12:15 a. m.)- For the moment the startling crime in Helsingfors has withdrawn attention from the strike situation throughout Russia Today's violent events in Po- land and the Caucasus, however, are quite serious enough in themselves. Disorders in the smaller Industrial towns of Poland have added more than a score to the total of the killed, and troops have been sent to Warsaw and Kutno, teighty-three miles west of Warsaw, to queil uprisings there. The strike conditions in the Caucasus are becoming worse and traffic on the trans-Caucausian Railroad is inter- rupted.
 A large nail factory in the Vassili ostroff section was burned yesterday and reports of incendiarism were cur- rent, but appear to have been based on presumption rather than proof.
 The central committee of the Rus sian Social Democratic Workmen's Party has issued a violent proclama- tion which has been widely circulated in the factories of St. Petersburg. call- ing on the operatives to array them selves under the red flag of the Social Democracy and prepare for an armed renewal of the January demonstrations. The proclamation bitterly assaiIs church and State and the higher class. and concludes:
 Tn order to gain victory, we must organize vast workmen's army. Then again will we start for the palace to present our demands, not without weapons, not with ikons and not with applications, but with arms in our hands under the blood-red standard of the Russian Social Democratic Party"

FELTNER's SENSATION.
New Features in Litigation Over
 Breathitt Murders.

Breathitt Murders.
 Louisville, Feb. 7.--Quite the most sensational development in the iitiga- tion over the Breathitt County murders came out today with the deposition of Moses Feltner, a witness who left Ken lucky after having been subpoenaed as a witness in the damage suit which Mrs. Abrelia Marcum brought against Judge James Hargis and others for all legged conspiracy in connection with the murder of James B. Marcum. says a Post special from winchester Ky.
 FeItners statement is to the effect that an attorney for the defense, B. F. French, offered him $1.000 to leave Winchester without testifying and that if he did not go he would be hanged for the murder of Jesse Fields some time ago in Breathitt County.
 Feltner says he accepted the money, went to Cincinnati and turned 1t over to his brother. Felix Feltner. Later he tMose' Feltner) was met in Cincin- natl by Mir. French and was told to. stay where he was, as warrants had been issued for him in many counties in Kentucky. bordering on the Ohio River. French told him, according to Feltner's deposition. that his bond had been vacated in the Fields murder case and that a warrant would be sent to Cincinnati for him. but that he must not come back to Kentucky without reduisition.
 "But MT. French told me-" the state- ment continues, ''that Governor Beck ham had promised him (French) that this requisition would not be issued until after the -Hargis cases had been settled"
 French then gave him more money and after spending some time in vari- ous Ohio towns and Indianapolis, Felt ner says he concluded to return to Kentucky and give himself up as a witness.
 Winchester, Ky, Feb. 7.--Feltner said he left here on Dec. 6, the night before the taking of testimony began in the -Hargis trial because he believed that if he told of his knowl- edge of the plots to kill James Marcum he would subsequently, be killed. He told of a plot when he. John Smith, John Abner and Tom White hid in rock quarry that had been selected as & good place from which to assassi- nate Marcum. He also told of Tom White refusing to shoot Marcum from the court house because Marcuim had his baby in his arms, and other things that have been repeated in former trials.
 witness left Jackson for his home In Leslie County in June, 1902, and said B. F. French came to the home of wit ness in Leslie County two or three weeks later and told witness that the Harf;ises would have to have Mareum killed ana wanted Feltner to do 1t. He said French told him Marcum was to be killed either from the college build ing or from the court house and French wanted Feltner to take charge of one of the firing squads. To this Feltner agreed, but instead he went to where Marcum was, near Hazard, and told of the plot.
 Feltner's examination will be con- tinued tomorrow.
