Chicago, Feb. S.-A Johann HOch
double, a much married man, at whose
door the police expect to lay several
of the many marriages formerly cred
tied to Hoch. has been discovered The
new discovery has not eclipsed Hoch,
however, as at least ten marriages
contracted by Hoch have already been
authenticated by marriage certificates,
Hochs own confessions, and by wit,

officiated, and other valuable proofs

The fact that Hoch was serving time
in the house of correction when one
Alfred BustebeTg was operating in Ar
gos, Ind, and surrounding towns and
employing the identical tactics of Hoch
it is alleged, made the police believe
that some person, either a confederate
of Hoch's or one of the other master
votaries of the marriage trust" was
busy in Indiana towns while the cham
pion marrying member of the trust
was recuperating in the bridewelI.
Hoch and Busteberg are said to be al

Washington. Feb. S.-Minister Daw-

San Domingo that the new protocol
providing for the responsibility of San

II is drawn on the lines of the orig

the segregation of a portion of the Gus

debtedness of the country. The date
for the beginning of the administra
ton Will be left after the senate pass
es upon it.
The important feature of the prOto-
col is the omission of the provision in
the original memorandum of Jan. 81,
guaranteeing the integrity of San Do
mingo. The new document simply
binds the United States to respect the
integrity of Dominican territory. The
Monroe doctrine is regarded as suffi-
cient to convey the broader guaran-
