GREDITED WITH THIRTEEN WIVES RELATIVES OF SIX EXPRESS BE- LIEF THAT THEY DIED AS RESULT OF POISON. Chicago. Jan. 25.—Information of more alleged victims of the supposed bluebeard. Johann Hoch, been given the police by John Frick, an em- ploye of the Nickel Plate railroad. Frick has reported to the charge that his sister, Mrs. Schuliz, married Hoch, who then called himsell Albert Muschburg, at Argos, Ind., in 1900. rs. Schuliz had a chiid named Nettie, then five years old. “Shortly atyer they arrived in Chi- cago letters ceased coming to me,” said Frick, “and T am under the belief that my sister and her little girl were done away with. My sister had about $1,500 at the time of the marriage.” Mre. J. H. Schwartzman of Milwau- kee telegraphed the police that she would arrive here during the day for the purpose of trying to identify a pho- tograph of Hoch as the man who mar- ried her sister in 1899. The woinan died shortly after, leaving §1,500 to her husbhand. Relatives of six of the thirteen wives credited to Hoch have expr e be- lief to Police Inspector Shippey that the six women died from poison The list of dead and missing is as follows: Sarah Welker Hoch, died Jan. 11, Mrs. Mary Steinbecker, died Mo y Becker, St. Louis, Tary Schultz, Argos, Ind., died 1900, child also disappeared; M Lena Hoch, Milwaukee; Mrs. Sophia Hoch. Milwaukee. ‘Acting on the theory that Hoch is the missing janitor of the notorious H. H. Holmes “castie” the police are ns- ing the same methods to trace Hoch as were used in seeking Holmes. The officers believe Hoch to be a pupil of Holmes and that he will use the same ruses that were employed by Holmes to escape arr 1894; died 1902; M New York, Jan. 25-=Mrs. Alico Webb-Duke, wife of,Brodie L.

Taylor of Chica;o had made false statements in ‘an!jpstrument on the strength of which & stockholder in one of the national banks in that place was induced to endorse their notes for $20,000. i Mrs. Duke was arrested as she was alighting from a cab to enter an office in Broad street. | The warrant was served by a detective from the district attorney’s office. When Mrs, Duke was notified that she was under arrest she became: hysterical and screamed and wept. She declared: “I'm the wife of Brodie I. Duke. His family are trying: to hurt me. I have done nothing wrong.” She insisted upon making a call in the building as she had intended, but the detective would not permit it and took her to the dis- trict attorney’s in a cab. She sat weep- ing in that office until her counsel ar- rived. 'The procedure will be to ar- raign her in a police court and hold her to await the arrival of extradition papers from Texas, Mrs. Duke for several weeks has been one of the central figures in a sensational case growing out of her recent marriage to Brodie L.

New York, Jan. 25.—A strike on the New York subway system is threat- ened unless some basis of Settlement of the demands made by the workmen can be agreed upon. The men have drawn up lists of grievances for which they ask redress and this is to be pre- sented to August Belmont, head of the Interborough company, which oper- ates the subway. The employes claim that an agreement entered into with Mr. Belmont some months ago has not been kept by the company. One of the important requests is that the com- pany install a complete new block sig- nal system on the tracks for local trains in order that the danger of ac- cidents may he lessened.

CROWDS (N STREETS REMAIN SULLEN ADDITIONAL TROOPS BROUGHT TO THE CITY AND HOUSED IN THE BARRACKS. DISORCERS BREAK OUT AT MOSCOW RANKS OF THE STRIKERS IN THE OLD CAPITAL RAPIDLY BE- ING AUGMENTED. St. Petersburg, Jan. 25.—While the eity is quiet there is still extreme ten- sion in St. Petersburg, but from Mos- cow comes news that disorders have begun there and the lull here may be only the precursor of another storm. Not a single mill or factory has start- ed up. This is very significant as in- dicating that the workmen are being supplied with the sinews of war. None has applied for pay at the factories, although some have two weeks’ pay coming to them. The crowds in the streets are sullen and several thousand additional troops were brought in at daylight and housed in the barracks. Machine gun batter- ies were also placed at several points for emergencies. _The terror of the people has been somewhat relieved, but the dread of the next few days continues. Many foreiguers are leaving Russia. The foreign embassies are not manifesting alarm. They are expressing confidence thai the government will be able to handle the situation and that there is nothing now warranting apprehension for the lives or safety of their fellow countrymen. Authorities ‘Are Confident. The Wuthorities insist that the dan- ger of the situation is exaggerated, coutinuing to scout the idea of a revo- lution and maintaining the ability of the government to meet all emergen- cles. During the afterioon came the news that workmen were going out at Kov- no and Vilna, but particulars were lacking. Although the crowds on the Nevsky Prospect continued to increase during the afternoon there have been no col- lisions up to this hour. Moreover dur- ing the day several of the smaller mills resumed work and the men at other mills a red their employers that they were anxious to return, but that (he strikers threatened to kill them if they did so. In certain quarters, where the woes are always laid to the door t Britain, the feeling against the British has become intense, it be- ing charged that the British are fur- nishing money to bring about a revolu- tion. The lower section of the Nevsky Prospect, including the Winter palace district and the quay where the em- bassies are located, is in darkness and there has been a resumption of the pauicky feeling. Nevertheless the au- thorities express increasing confidence that the backbone of the strike is broken and that all the prominent agi- tators and many extreme liberals have been arrested, Father Gopon has disappeared and is d to be in Moscow directing the strikers there. LARGE CROWDS ON STREETS INFLAMMATORY PROCLAMATIONS DISTRIBUTED TO THE EA- GER POPULACE. Bt. Petersburg, Jan. 25.—St. Peters- burg wears a less martial aspect. Everywhere troops have been with- drawp-into courtyards. Only pickets are left outside and small squads of Cossacks are patrolling the streets. The stores along the principal thor- oughfares are mostly closed and barri- caded. The correspondent of the Associated Press drove up the Nevsky Prospect and with the help of daylight realized that the damage done to store fronts “was more considerable than first ap- peared. A large number of business premises were wrecked, the mob hav- ing devoted itself principally to con fectioners and pastry cooks. Enormous crowds of strikers an. many sightseers, encouraged by the mild weather, were promenading the sidewalks during the morning and the street -cars were again in operation. All has been quiet to this hour. The correspondent. of the Associated Press noticed several men distributing proc- lamations. The people formerly were shy of accepting such documents; now. they are eagerly accepting them and have nicknamed them (“swallows”). ocratic Laboy partv.” tion, dated Jan.

The revolutionists are also reported to be actively preparing bombs and infernal machines to wreck the post and telegraph offices and destroy other government property. The revolution- ists talk wildly of uing a manifesto, declaring a provisional government. They seem to have broken completely with the zemstvoists, whom they treat with contempt on account of what they call their “truckling” to autocracy. Even Prince Trubetzkoi, who led the reformers of Moscow, is regarded by them with suspicion and even hatred because, in an article published by the Pravo, he described the revolutionists as “Port Arthur inside of Russia,” which Russia would have to over- throw. M. Hessen, editor of the Pravo, whose advanced liberal views are well known, has heen arrested. The Workingmen's club has been closed by order of the prefect of po- lice.
