John Barrett, who recently gave up his
post a. Minister to Panama to become
Minister to Colo mbia, arrived yesterday
from Colon aboard the steamship Advance
He said that sanitary conditions In the Canal
Zone were gradually improving under the

that an alarming condition existed In

NICOLL'S PLEAS FOR HIMMEL.

Tending INkharmcnt CharKeS.

Pending Usbarmcnt Charges.
Under the ruling OF Justice Davy. what
ever motions to be made by Messrs. Hum
mel Steinhardt and Fursman in connec-
ton with the indictments growing out OF tt Q
Dodge Morse marriage and divorce tange
must be made tomorrow in the Supreme
Court, Criminal Branch. De Lancey Nicoll,
counsel for Mr.. Humme, has already
served notice on the District Attorney
that he will move on Tuesday to have the
indictments against his client set aside
and allashed. 80 it is probable that Mr.
Nicoll will not appear in court on Monday.
II is not likely that Messrs. Steinhardt and
Fursman will take any steps until Justice
Davy has decided on Mr.. Nicoll's motion
to dismiss the indictments against Hummel.
Mr. Nicoll would not make any comment
yesterday on the fact that District Attorney
Jerome has preferred charges against MIR.
Hummel to the Bar Association. On Tues
day, however, Mr.. Nicoll will go over the
entire ground. In the notice he has served
on the District Attorney he has embodied
a copy Of the charges made by Mr.. Jerome
to the grievance committee OF the Bar
Association.
In his argument to have the indictments
against Mr. Hummel dismissed Mr.. Nicoll's
strongest point will be that the charges
we're made before criminal proceedings
were instituted by Mr. jerome. and that
Mr.. Jerome knew when Mr.. Hummel was a
witness before the Grand Jury that Mr..
Hummel would later on become a de-
PENDANT. Mr.. Hummel was not informed
OF his constitutional rights, 1t will be
charged, and therefore the indictments are
invalid
1t will also be argued that. once having
begun proceedings to have Mr.. Hummel
disbarred, Mr.. Jerome should not have
moved against him criminaly until the
disbarment proceedings had been dis
posed Of. No one could be found yesterday
who would say that the fact that Mr.. Jerome
had preferred charges to the Bar Associa-
ton acted as bar to an indictment.
Mr.. Niooll would not say yesterday what
he would do IL Justice Davy should deny
his motion that the indictments be dis
missed. II Is understood. however, that
Mr.. Hummel intends In that event to appeal
to the higher courts.
