NJ MEL Is
CONVICTED.
New York Lawyer Sentenced to a
Year in Prison Also Fined
$500.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Abe Hum
mel, one of New York's famous law
yers, was found guilty by the jury be
fore whom he was tried on a charge of
conspiracy in the Dodge-Morse divorce
case. He was Immediately sentenced
to one years Imprisonment and a fine
of $500, the full penalty. He was sent
to the Tombs.
The district attorney asked for delay
In imposing sentence. He said he de-
sired to present to the court affidavits
in his possession which would have a
strong bearing upon the case.
81 desire to say" said Mr.. Jerome,
that this man has been a menace to
the decency of this community for at
least twenty years. l can prove this
by sworn affidavits. If the circum-
stances of this case do not move your
honor to impose the maximum penalty
| move that the matter be laid over I'M
til / can present my affidavits."
Justice Rogers said that he would inn
pose sentence at nee and inflicted the
maximum penalty, a fine of $500 and
Imprisonment for one year in the coun-
ty penitentiary.
Hummel, after being taken to the
Tombs, was placed in cell No. 122 on
the second tier. There he was seen by
a reporter and said:
81 nm now behind the bars, which
may seem strange to some people, but
| have been unjustly convicted through
vindictiveness. Notwithstanding the
district attorneys statement that |
have been a menace to the country for
twenty years, | am now behind the
bars with q clear conscience"
The state accused Hummel of con
spring to invalidate the legal divorce
of the present Mrs. Morse, wife of G..
w. Morse, the banker and former ice
magnate, from Charles f. Dodge, a
ne'er do well, who jumped rapidly
from one part of the country to an
other, being employed at various times
as brokers' clerk, waiter, hotel mana
ger and restaurant proprietor. Hum
mel had the divorce set aside on the
ground that Dodge had not been sery-
ed in the divorce suit. Dodge has
since confessed that he was served,
and the divorce and Mrs. Dodge's mar
riage to Morse. which had been an
nulled, have been reinstated.
Hummel was employed by Captain
Jim Morse, an uncle of G. w. Morse, to
break the marriage. The retainer for
the lawyer, $4,000. and the fight to
keep Dodge from being brought back
here on an Indictment for perjury cost
Captain Jim more than $4,000.

1t is understood that the firm is
having considerable trouble with the
Public Service Corporation in regard

foreman said that the trolley people
had not awarded the contract for
their work to his firm and that as
far as he knew they were not to put
down any bricks between the rails or
for two feet either side of them. He
said that this would cause the bricks
on both sides of the track to break
and the job would not be a good one.

RECOVERED DIAMONDS

ELIZABETH, Dec. 21:-Diamonds
worth $12,0 600 rested for almost
twenty hours in the pocket of an old
coat in the Central restaurants
kitchen, and yesterday morning Dav-
i'd H. CONDITION, who dropped them on
the floor of the place after a lunch
con, was so overjoyed to ecove
them that he gave 500 to H. M.
Mills, proprietor of the restaurant,
who found them and who had such
high respect for another's property
hat he didn't even peep into the
package Mills, finding the parcel
under one of his tables, slipped it in
to his coat pocket and hung the gar
ment on a nail in the chefs domain.
The package of gems protruding
from Mills's pocket must have been
almost continuously within the Wis
ion of the kitchen workers, yet APP
~parently none of them even noticed
it.
CONDITION, who is a Philadelphia
jewelry salesman, finished his lunch
o in the restaurant yesterday be-
tween 8 and 4 o'clock. On the table
beside him were two packages of
diamonds. He put both into his
pocket when he started out of the
place, he thought. One of them,
however, slipped to the floor, where,
apparently, it was kicked about for
hours before the proprietor ran
across it. CONDITION did not miss the
package until he got back to Phila-
delphia. He took the first morning
train back to this city and hurried to
the restaurant, where all he had to
do was to prove property and take
his jewels.
A sunburst of twenty-one stones
was in the package, with a necklace
of thirty-seven diamonds, three soli-
taire gems without settings, two big
pearls. a diamond shower and small

BIG STRIKE IS
ON IN RUSSIA.
Moscow Tied Up Factories Idle
land Trains Stopped Govern
ment Doing Its Best.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21.-The
general strike, which has been APPROX
ed by the Councils of Workmen of st.
Petersburg and Moscow, the Union Of
Unions, Union of Peasants and Gen
eral Railway union, has opened here
and at Moscow.
The general strike was decided upon
at a joint conference of the Council of
Workmen's delegates and representa-
tives of the railway unions and various
revolutionary parties. Twenty-Five rail-
ways are taking part in it.
The conference drew up a manifesto,
addressed to tile workmen and the
troops, calling on them to rise and es-
tablish a democratic republic. All the
railways radiating out of Moscow are
involved.
The strike promises to be on q far
more extensive scale than any previous
movement of the kind. Many of the
largest works here, including the Putt
loft and Nobel iron works, will cease
operations today.
The Railway union at Moscow has
resolved to run troop trains from Man
churia and to convey grain to the fam
inc stricken districts.
A Berlin dispatch says that the Brit
ish cruiser Sapphire has passed
through the Kiel canal on her way to
Riga.
The strike at Moscow was inaugural
ed promptly at All the men
walked out Of the factories and mills,
and the trains on the six railroads were
left standing in the stations.
Shortly afterward an incoming train
on the Kursk road was fired into by
armed strikers. The engineer and sew
eral passengers were wounded.
The strikers generally seem to be pro-
vided with arms. There is great ex-
element in this city.
All the electric light plants are clos
ed. Governor General Doubassoff has
declared the city to be / II a partial state
of siege, which gives the civil authori-
ties exceptional powers of arrest, etc.
The next move will be to declare a
StulS VI SleSe Ill WHICH TIE HllilluIy
supersedes the civil power.
The, provincial authorities have al
ready been empowered in anticipation
of the contingency of their being cut
off from the capital to act ON their w
responsibility even to the extent of the
proclamation of martial law.
The railroad stations at st. Peters
bGiuo are occupied by troops, and the
government has made an attempt, with
the aid of the railroad battalions, to
maintain some sort of train service,
especially to the German frontier, and
also to keep open cable communication
with points abroad.
AT Sevastopol new mutinies have oc-
Cured. Sixteen hundred soldiers have
been disarmed and are under guard.
At Warsaw the employees Of the fire
department struck last night. They
demand an increase of salary and re-
fuse to take out the fire engines unless
1t is granted.
The Polish National party has order
ed the shopkeepers to emove their
Russian signs in order to Polonize the
city.
1t is believed that the railway men
on the Warsaw roads will join the
strike.
1t is repoxted from Nicolaieff, in the
government of Kherson, that two in
fantry regiments revolted and that a
sanguinary fight ensued.
