LAST RESTING PLACE
IN CEMETERIES
IS REFUSED
The Body of Bluebeard Hoch
Cannot Rest in Conse.
Grated Ground.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-The body of
Johann Hoch lay today in the county
morgue at Dunning, while the under
taker who had agreed to inter the
corpse at his own expense and two
clergymen who were on the scaffold
yesterday when Hoch was hanged,
vainly tried to find burial place. The
authorities of Waldheim cemetery re-
fused to allow Hoch to be buried there.
as did the officials of Forest Home
cemetery and those of st. Lucas ceme-
terry.
Today cemetery after cemetery was
asked by telephone to permit the bur-
ial of Hoch but all refused, saying that
the owners of cemetery lots objected
to the interment of murderers. 1t was
not expected that objection would be
offered at Waldheim, as in that ceme-
terry Spies, Parsons, Engel and Fischer
executed anarchists, are buried, but
the officers of Waldheim cemetery
were adamant. They declared that the
burial of the anarchists had brought
such unpleasant notoriety to the ceme-
terry that they would never allow a
person who had been executed to be
buried in the place."

BIBLE SOCIETY'S
NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY

-
New York, Feb 24.-The nineteenth
anniversary of the establishment of
the American Bible society falls to-
morrow, and while the societys off,
cials have decided to have no central
celebration of the event, they have
sent letters to $4,000 Protestant min
listers, of all bodies, In the United
States and Canada, asking that the
day be observed in their churches ..s
Bible Day." and that in the services
the work of the society in printing and
distributing the Scriptures for nearly
century, be referred to. A further
request is made that the days Offer
ings be devoted to the work of the So
ctety, in an effort to relieve the Or.
ganization from some part of it's pres
ent financial burdens.
The society is now working to Sc
cure an endowment fund of $4,000, 900.
This fund was to have commemorated,
the nineteenth anniversary, but the
more pressing financial needs have
been receiving more attention than the
endowment. Regular receipts of the
society have fallen off in the last year
or two, so that its reserve resources
have been used up in order that re-
trenchment of its work might not be
necessary. Now the reserve is gone
and the society is, for the first time
In twenty-five years in debt. An effort
Is being made to secure $4,000 in ad-
dition to the usual annual receipts.
and 1t is hoped that all of this amount,
OF which a considerable SUM already
has been contributed, may be forth
coming as a result of the offerings at
tomorrow's anniversary services.

HEPBURN RATE BILL
|MPRACT|CABLE
SAYS THE DR.,
A Similar Plan Tried in Kne-
land Was Repealed as a
Failure.

Boston. Feb. 24.-The Evening Tran
script today publishes an article by
President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale uni,
versity,' on the present status Of the
rate regulation contest in Washington.
Dr. Hadley argues that the proposition
Of the HEPBURN bill to make decisions
of interstate commerce final in all
questions of fact is illogical and i'm
practicable. He says a similar plan
tried in England in the seventies did
not work and was finally repealed. He
declares that the common law gives
the shipper more protection than the
statutes, as was shown in the Chesa-
peake & Ohio coal case recently de-
cided by the supreme court. Yet in
spite of these considerations Presi-
dent Hadley expresses the belief that
the passage of the Hepburn bill would
be better than any compromise thus
far suggested.
