New York, Dec. 19.--Three daring
swimmers today rescued the two Ital-

hours had been imprisoned in the East

Railroad by a caVe-in at the Long Is

Surrounded by water which threat

compressed air should fail to hold il

kept up constant communication with
the surface by rapping on the pipes
which brought them air. They were
almost exhausted when the three men
swan un to the platform on which
they were huddled. 1t was With diff

frightened men to plunge into the
water they had dreaded so long.

The day was passed without legis-

bate ON the question of appointing a

AS a result of the yellow fever epi-

clamor for Federal control of quaran-

rather fight yellow fever for ages to

HUMAIEL'S CASE TO JURY.
The Accused Offers no Evidence. Ar

(By the Associated Press. J


New York. Dec. 19.-The case of
Abraham Nj. Hummel, lawyer. charg-
ed With conspiracy and subornation
of perjury in connection with the
Dodge-M divorce proceedings will
be given to a jury tomorrow morning
Hummel who has been on trial for
nearly week, elected today to have
his case go to the jury without offer
ing a defense his attorneys arguing
that no case had been made out by the
prosecution. When court adjourned
tonight both sides had summed up.
Tomorrow morning the charge to the
jury will be made.
John b. Stanchfield and Delaney
Nicoll. of conseI for Hummel, each ad-
dressed the jury today in their eli
ent's behalf. Assistant District Attor-
ney Rand closed for the State. The
defendants attorneys dwelt upon the
fact that Charles F. Dodge. one OF
the States witnesses and one of the
principals in the divorce tangle. was
a self-admitted perjurer and could not
be believed in any of his statements.
1t was asserted he had become d
States witness to save himself from
prison. A point was made first of
the fact that Mrs. Morse, who was
Mrs. Dodge, was not introduced as a
witness, Mr.. Nicoll declaring that she
knew she had no right to marry Morse.
Mr.. Rand, replying to these asser-
tions said he took full responsibility
for not calling Mrs. Morse to testify
saying she knew absolutely nothing
about the service of the divorce papers
on her former husband and therefore
was not a material witness. Mr.. Rand
sail Dodge had not become a perjurer
until the agents of Hummel had been
to see him several times and it dawn
ed upon him that game was on
foot by which he might profit.
