THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING
President and Mrs. Roosevelt Ask
Confederation OF Friends Whom
1t iB ImprncticabIe to Invite.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-President
Roosevelt authorized the following
statement which was given out at the
White House Friday:
1.-THE president and Mrs. Roosevelt
ask the kind consideration of many
friends who would, under ordinary cir
cumstances, have received invitations
to Miss Roosevelt's wedding. The ca
pacity Of the White House requires
that under existing circumstances invi-
tations be limited to the closest kins-
folk, the personal friends Of Miss
Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth and GER
tain classes of officials in Washington.
No friends of the president or Mrs.
Roosevelt are being asked, unless they
also come within one Of these classes;
and even with these limitations the
number Of guests threatens to overtax
the capacity of the White House."

JOHANN HocH TO HANG
Illinois Supreme Court Denies Him

February %.

Springfield, H., Feb. 9.-The supreme
court, Thursday morning, denied a re-
hearing in the case of Johann Hoch,
sentenced to be hanged in Chicago Feb
ruary %, for wife murder.
Hoch, according to the Chicago po-
lice, is the most remarkable Grim
inal of his kind in the city's history
since the days when Holmes operated
his house of secret death at Sixty-third
street and Stewart avenue. He is said
to hive had fully sixty wives, and to
have murdered IA Of them.
Hoch was convicted OF the murder
Of Mrs. Emily Walker-Hoch, one of his
wives, who died suddenly on January
10, 1905. The coroner's physician found
a large quantity of arsenic in her stom-
ach, and the authorities had little diff
ficulty in establishing the case against
him.

REPoRTs VERY EAvoRARLE
OutlOOL For spring Jobbing Trade
GOOd-seasOnabIe weather Has
Stimulated Business.

New York, Feb. 10-Bradstreet
weekly review says:
Reports as to spring jobbing trade
are very favorable, and the more
seasonable weather has stimulated
some lines of trade. Shipments Of
finished products of manufacture are
OF enormous volume and mills are stu
pushed to fill orders previously booked.
Railroad earning returns indicate that
January was the most active ever exc
perienced by the companies, gross re-
ceipts showing a gain of 20 per cent,
over January last year, a very active
period likewise. Reports as to winter
wheat are satisfactory as a whole.
Against these favorable are
to be cited the disquieting influences
of predictions and preparations for a
general coal strike, possibly involving
100000 men. It is to be noted that the
mild weather has caused an accumu-
lation in retail stocks of heavy clothing,
shoes and kindred products and elimi-
mated recorder business from jobbing
hands, though western reports speak
Of possible carried-over stocks being
quite well reduced, considering wealth
er conditions.

JURY HUNG, NOT CONVICTS
TRIAL OF sLAYERs OF PRISON
GUARDS FAILS.
The Court at Jefferson City, Mo-,
Thinks Some of the Jury Must
Have Law of Their own.

jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 10-The
Jury in the case of Convicts Vaughan,
Ryan and Raymond, charged with kill
ing Penitentiary Guard John A. Clay,
was dismissed at p. m. by Judge Mar
tin, having made a report that they
could not come to an agreement. The
Jury stood nine for conviction of
Vaughan, Ryan and Raymond, and
three for acquittal. On convicting
Vaughan alone, the jury stood ten to
two for conviction.
The jurors who held out for acquit-
tai said that they thought that Clay
might have been killed by an acciden-
tai shot from one of the guards.
The case will be retired March s..
Judge Martin, in discharging the jury,
took occasion to criticise the jury, or
certain members of It, though he de-
MED any intention of criticism.
After leaving the bench the judge
said: 1T is very evident that some
Juror has code of laws which he has
set up, or rather he has set up opinions
what the law ought to be and has fol-
lowed that instead Of the law as it Isl
ut Is possible some juror might have
been impelled to a certain degree by
an admiration for the nerve of the con,
victs in their bold attempt at escape,
but l am more inclined to the opinion
that the jury was hung on some one
member who wanted to make the law
according to his own notions, rather
than follow the law as it is"
None were more surprised at the
failure of the state to obtain a prompt
conviction, with the death penalty
than the accused convicts. Ryan has
repeatedly expressed the belief that he
and his two comrades would be speed
ly hanged; and neither of the others
has shown hope of any other termina
ton FOR the trial.

ST. LOUISANS REST AGAIN
WOMEN NO LONGER AFRAID TO
LOOK OUT AT NIGHT.
John Lawrence Brady, Jack, the
stnbber," betrayed By n wOm-
an and COnfesses.

st. Louis, Feb. 12.-With Jack, the
Stabber," behind the bars, the women
OF st. Louis are breathing easier after
three weeks Of uncertainty as to wheth-
er or not they would be stabbed IL per-
chance they ventured out after dark.
Following the arrest and confession
Of John Lawrence Brady, Saturday,
that 1t was he who stabbed IA women
on the downtown streets of st. Louis
on the night Of January 20 last, and
that he also stabbed Miss Adele Flaber-
ty at Ninth and Washington avenue a
week before, his mother declared that
his crime was the result Of a prenatal
influence.
Il am positive that an attack suf-
fered affected my son and caused him to
stab these women" said Mrs. Brady.
Brady is an unemployed restaurant
worker, % years old. His confession
was made to Chief Desmond after a Sc
we're cross-examination. But he could
give no reason why he should attack
women with knife.
81 was seized with an impulse" said
Brady. Il couldn't help it, and don't
know why did It,"
Three employees of the Richard Han
lon Millinery Co., who had previously
captured and released Brady, and half
dozen victims. identified the prisoner
as the man who did the stabbing.
These identifcations, however, were
unnecessary, for after Brady had talked
privately for five minutes to Chief Des-
mond he made full and free confession,
which was taken down in shorthand,
and, when transcribed, was signed by
Brady as being correct.
Brady's boast to Mrs. Lesia Gray,
woman he visited occasionally, that he
had escaped from his captors, on the
night Of January %, led to his arrest
when he visited Mrs. Gray's house early
Saturday.
The woman notified the police and
they took him. There was 500 reward
offered for information leading to his
arrest.
