ABRAHAM H HUMMEL
The Lawyer Convicted of Connplraey
In Dodso Morae Cnse
It is not very often that a prominent
lawyer is sent behind the brs and the
conviction of Abraham 11 Hummel
who has practiced for twenty five years
before the bar of New York of a crim
inal offense has attracted national at
tention After the jury had found hliu
guilty as charged In the indictment and
the court had pronounced sentence
consigning him to a years imprison
ment and imposing in addition a flue
of 500 some of Ilummels acquaint
ances followed him from the courtroom
to his cell In the Tombs His nerve
did not desert him and with his silk
hat on his head he tried to preserve a
spruce and dapper appearance even In
a cell With an affectation of his cus
tomary humor he put his hand through
r ABRAHAM H HUMMEIi
the bars to greet his visitors and ex
claimed Im always glad to meet the
newspaper boys Sorry I cant invite
you in
Hummel was born in Boston in 1830
was taken by his parents to New York
as a child and attended the public
schools studied law was admitted to
the bar in 1S79 and built up a large
practice as a lawyer in criminal cases
The indictment upon which he was
tried charged him with conspiracy to
invalidate the marriage of Mr and
Mrs Charles W Morse ne was also
indicted for subornation of perjury
but has not been tried on that charge
Mr Morse is a New York millionaire
and ex president of the American Ice
company Mrs Morse was formerly
Miss Clemence Cowles a society belle
of St Louis In 1S92 she married
Charles F Dodge who at that time
seemed to have a promising future
and all went well until he began lead
ing a fast life She obtained a divorce
from him in the state of New York in
1S9S and in 1901 married Mr Morse
An uucle of Mr Morse who did not
like the second wife set out to see if
the two could not be separated and
retained Mr Hummel The latter ac
cording to the charge upon which he
was indicted induced the former hus
band of Mrs Morse to perjure himself
and sign an affidavit stating that he
had not been properly served in the
divorce obtained by her and that it
was therefore illegal On the suppo
sition that his testimony was true tho
marriage of Mr and Mrs Morse was
annulled Subsequently Dodge turned
states evidence and confessed that he
had been bribed to commit perjury and
that the divorce his former wife ob
tained from him was Aalid It is held
that the outcome of the case has estab
lished the validity of her second mar
riage Hummel is seeking a new trial

DEN SMITH of
Michigan who says
he will resign of
lice if any attempts
are made to change
the tariff is the
congressman who
caused a sensation
in the house in the
spring of 1904 by
a speech upon the
floor that was look
ed upon as an attempt to boom Uncle
Joe Cannon for the presidential nomi
nation Shortly afterward Smith vis
ited the White House to explain to the
president the real facts connected with
his speech When he emerged from the
executive office he told the correspond
ents that if he were pressed he would
fire the other barrel Knowing that
tho first barrel had contained quite a
heavy charge the correspondents were
interested to learn about the second
I will tell you said Mr Smith
Once upon a time Henry Clay was
making a campaign tour through the
country and came upon a lot of farm
ers shooting at a target Take a shot
Mr Clay one of the marksmen urged
handing him a long barreled rilie Clay
at lirst refused but finally he shut his
eyes and pulled the trigger A cheer
went up from the crowd and when he
opened his eyes Clay found that he
had plunked the buliseye fair in the
center They wanted him to shoot
again but he was altogether too
shrewd He was pretty well satis
fied with his record Now Im like
Clay Im satisfied with the result of
the first barrel not only because it
seemed to strike the bullseye but also
because there isnt any other barrel to
my gun
Representative William A Reeder of
Kansas is a great joker ne saw a
five cent piece on the floor of a Penn
sylvania avenue car while he was on
his -way down from the capitol picked
the nickel up and said Is there any
body in the car who has lost a ten
dollar gold piece
Ten people white and black prompt
ly said In chorus I did
All right said Reeder as he slid
for the door I just found a nickel of
it I dont know where the other 995
went
Congressman John A T Hull chair
man of the house military committee
and a fighter who has a gallant civ
war record was telling how hard it
was sometimes to raise campaign
funds Time for subscriptions often
had to be extended again and again
he said The case
reminded him of
how the proprietor
of an Iowa hotel
was told one day
that a very seedy
looking stranger
was sitting on the
front steps eating
some crackers and
cheese This did
not seem to be a
very good adver
tisement for the
JOHN A T HULL
hotel The proprietor rushed out
What are you doing here he ask
ed of the seedy looking stranger
Jest eatin o a snack
Well you get out of here
Right away
Yes Ill give you just one minute
The stranger rose from his seat slow
ly and sinuously He seemed to un
joiut as he arose and ran up up up in
to the air like a telescope until he tow
ered nearly three feet above the hotel
keeper a huge muscular giant
Waal stranger said the individual
who had been eating a snack what be
you going to do if I decide to stay
here longer than one minute
Oh in that event said the hotel
keeper looking up and down the huge
proportions of his visitor I suppose
Ill extend the time a little
Theres so much noise in the house
the chair cant hear its own voice
Speaker Cannon confided to the house
the other day
The distinction of being the youngest
member of the present house of repre
sentatives is said to belong to Anthony
Michalek who represents the Fifth Il
linois district embracing a populous
section of Chicago
ANTHONY MICHA
LEK
He is only twenty
seven is a native
of Bohemia and
was brought to this
country when three
months old It is
because of his for
eign birth that fame
has been thrust up
on him His citi
zenship was ques
tioned the claim
being made that he
was never natural
ized that his father
never became a citizen of the United
States and that not being a citizen he
could not properly serve In the house
It is known that Mr Michalek never
expected to be elected and it is claim
ed that he stipulated that if he accept
ed the nomination he was to receive in
return generous advertising of his gro
cery business At all events all the
campaign literature circulated in his
behalf contained flattering references
to his pure food emporium
Representative Charles S Wharton
tvho comes from the Chicago district
In which Mrs OLenrys cow kicked
over the Inmp and caused the big fire
is one of the kids of the Fifty ninth
congress John Sharp Williams the
minority leader referred to the kids
of the house on one of the first days of
the present session and Wharton had
the temerity to arise from his seat and
ask what he meant by the term He
learned Instantly
Mr Speaker said Mr Williams
with a wave of his hand toward tho
youthful appearing
member from Chi
cago with that de
gree of reverence
which the personal
appearance of my
Interrogator excites
in my mind I should
say that he is per
haps the last person
In the house who
ought to ask the
question Whereat
Mr Wharton sub
sided

TON
CHARLES 8 WIIAIt
TON
ton Is twenty nine and looks younger
He might easily be mistaken for a re
cent high school graduate But he is
energetic He showed it in his cam
paign for election when he overcame a
Democratic plurality of 10000 and beat
an opponent who thought he hnd a
walkover
I went into the highways and by
ways speaking politically and no man
or woman or child got past me said
Mr Wharton In order surely to reach
every voter in the district I made it a
point to go through most of the great
industrial plants I was thrown out of
one plant seven times through seven
different doors At another I was put
out through two doors and one win
dow three different times in all Then
the foreman grew tired of putting me
out and ordered the timekeeper to dis
tribute nij cards At one of the steel
rail mills the foreman ordered me out
but fortunately he was smaller than I
was
Congressman Theodore E Burton of
Ohio has been chairman of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors nearly
ten years and is an expert on the sub
ject The rivers and harbors committee
has the reputation of being a commit
tee that makes and unmakes states
men Twenty one years ago it unmade
a president for if Chester A Arthur
had not vetoed a river and harbor bill
he would probably
have secured the
nomination at Chi
cago instead of
James G Blaine
It was rivers and
harbors that made
Charles F Crisp
speaker an event
that had momen
tous consequences
in its effect on the
Democratic party
and upon the coun
try Mr Catchings
of Mississippi threw his influence to
Crisp for the reason that Roger Q
Mills was not a very good friend of
rivers and harbors as they appear in
congressional appropriations and it
was Catchings adroit management
that turned the scale that brought the
Springer following into the Crisp
camp
The river and harbor bill was up in
the house one day and Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri tried to get
in a paragraph about the Missouri riv
er Chairman Burton was not sympa
thetic
I warn you gentlemen roared
Clark that unless you make this ap
propriation I shall deliver this speech
annually yes semiannually until you
do
Great heavens Burton said forty
members give the man what he
wants
Porter J McCumber of North Da
kota who is achieving prominence in
the United States senate is a hustler
for he struck Dakota in 18S2 without
a dollar to his name but chuck full of
law and determination He had an
office in a shack that hadnt more than
10 worth of lumber in It all told
McCumber however buckled down
to work in that shanty and gave the
fellows with five dollar cases just as
good and just as much law as the fifty
dollar fellows and it didnt take long
for his reputation
as a worker to
spread from Wah
petou all over the
state He was just
the sort of man the
Dakotans wanted
for he worked for
them day and night
just as hard as he
worked later when
he was after the
blind pig propri
etors in North Da
kota during his ca
gjjij
senator p j
mcusiber
reer as county at
torney The only places where one
could get a drink In his county were
under the cover saloons that were call
ed blind pigs McCumber found a
prohibition law on the statute books
and he enforced it right up to the limit
He went for the keepers of the blind
pigs tooth and nail and he was such
a good prosecutor that he secured their
conviction in bunches
There was no way to stop him until
he came up as a candidate for re-election
Then all the liquor dealers and
their friends turned In and beat him at
the polls Later there was a big row
on between the two Republican fac
tions at Bismarck when the legislature
met They could not agree on a candi
date and It looked as If a fusion sena
tor would be sent to Washington Then
a shrewd politician suggested McCum
ber as a compromise candidate The
Idea took as he was not identified with
either faction and he was sent to the
senate
