THE REFORM SCHOOL
This COunty's Bill for the Quarter
 Just Ended.

The board of supervisors yesterday received the bill of the territorial in dustrial school for the last quarter for the care of the boys sent from this county. The bill amounts to $51IS5. There are nine boys there, and all but three have been at the school for the full ninety days. The others have been

there sixty days. The bill shows that the rate per day has been reduced from sixty -four to fifty-five cents.
 There is a general feeling that it ought to be further reduced and until a cheaper way is found to run the school it is not likely that many boys will be sent from this county. Some of the counties, notably Yavapai have withdrawn their patronage of the school entirely.
 No boy has been sent from Maricopa since the discovery was made some weeks ago that it would be cheaper to buy the boys scholarships in Yale or Harvard.
 There is a sentiment among the su- pervisors of all the counties that there are too many paid officials about the school, >one for every two boys. It Is contended by the school management that they are all needed and that no more would be needed if the attend ance at the school were a great deal larger than it is. Then they say that the expense per pupil will be greatly reduced.
 It is thought, however, that the management of the school by the board of control instead of by the board of trustees will bring about a great reduction

CHARGES AGAINST HvMMEL.
Guilty of Fraud, Deceit and MimeOn-
 daaat. Says Jerome.

dust says Jerome.
 New York, May 25.-The charges made by District Attorney Jerome 10 the committee of grievances of the New York Bar Association against Abraham Hummel were made public In the criminal branch of the Supreme Court today. They were sent forth by counsel for Hummel during argu- ment on the motion to dismiss three indictments against him alleging con spiracy in connection with the Dodge Morse case. The District Attorneys 6 charges allege fraud, deceit and gross professional misconduct. as attorney for Charles F. Dodge in his action to set aside the degree of divorce entered against Dodge by his wife, Clemens Dodge.
 District Attorney Jerome appeared in court personally to argue against the dismissal of the conspiracy indictments, while Hummel was represented by Delaney Nlcoil. In his argument MT. Nicoll took the ground that either the grand jury which returned the indict- ments was conducting an inquisttion without any one in particular being named and that such proceedings were Illegal, or that Hummel was named and was forced to give testimony against himself in violation of his constitu- tional rights. MT. Nicoll said that the records show that Mir. Hummell ap- peared before the grand Jujry in the Dodge Morse case. but that the sub poena with which he was served was of extraordinary latitude.
 Mir. Nicoll read Mir. Hummselfs pro- test against being compelled to pro duee all the books and papers in the Dodge Morse case. He also read from testimony before the grand jury in which Mir. Hummell had asked to be informed of the nature of the proceed- ings before being sworn and Assistant District Attorney Rand had said he had no right to be so informed.
 Reading further from the papers. Mir Nieoll said that when Mir. Hummell refused to answer questions until in formed of his position. Mir Rand in- formed him that the object was to as- certain who were privy to the commits sion of perjury by Charles F. Dodge and who conspired to deceive the SUI preme court.
 District Attorney Jerome declared that there were only three grounds
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-05-27

upon which an indictment could be quashed and that HummelPs motion had not been brought on any of these. The only question. he said, that de- manded attention was whether Hum melfs constitutional rights had been invaded. He claimed that Hummell was informed of his rights when bee fore the grand jury and that he vol- untarily offered to bring all his books and papers which the jury might re- quire.
 MT. Jerome stated that the subpoena was entitled, Charles F. Dodge and others" He asketf- If, in view of that title. Hummell could have any doubt aa to what he was called to give testi. mony about. T knew that Dodge had committed a crime" said the district attorney. "and 1t was to see who elsa had been concerned in 1t that I called Hummell. who had been Dodge's coun. seh The grand jury was ccnductina an investigation to find out whether others besides Dodge had committed nerjury and Mir. Hummell was accused of being "a crook" and he knew 1t He answered some questions and othera he refused to answer on the grounda that the answers might tend to in. criminate him Before the defendant can legally move to set aside this in- dictment he must make it appear afr firmatively that the indictment is based on q violation of his constitutional rights"
 Justice Davis said that while he be. lieved there was abundance of evidence for the indictment. If 1t could be shown that Hummelrs constitutional righta had been invaded. he would be obliged to dismiss the indictment. He directe& the attorneys to submit briefs next Monday.
