HUMMELL GOES TO JAIL
FOR DIVORCE CONSPIRACY

New York, Dec. 20.--Abraham II
Hummell, the lawyer today was con-
victed of conspiracy in connection
with the Dodge Morse divorce case.
He was sentenced within a few min
utes after the jurys verdict had been
pronounced, to one years lmprlson-
ment and a fine of $500, which is the
maximum penalty for the misdemean-
or for which he was adtudged guilty.
A motion of his lawyers for an arrest
of judgment for "a hours was denied
and Hummell was taken to the Tombs
prison.
One of the unexpected features Of
trials ending was the fact that one
of Hummell's own counsel, John B.
Stanchfield. made the first proposal
for a speedy sentence.
Depending upon the result of this
case are actions In other indictments
against prominent persons which have
grown out of the Dodge-Mor divorce
case.
An indictment for subornatlon cf
perjury is still pending against Hum
nell in connection with which he is
under bond in the sum of $2.500.
Hummell was released from the
Tombs at 10 o'clock tonight under
$4,000 bail on writ of reasonable
doubt secured from Judge Woodward
of the supreme court in Brooklyn.

road of New Jersey. which with the
Lackawanna terminals we're consider

most totally destroyed, For time
the fire threatened the Pennsylvania

ReCORSiderS Personnel Of
ISthmian Commission.
MINORITY SENATORS AlLEGE
APPOINTMENTS RAILR0ADED
Object OF Delay Is to Enter Protest
Against Shonts' Holding
Two Positions.

Washington, Dec. 20-Confirmations
by the senate of the nominations of
the members of the Isthmian canal
commission were reconsidered today
in the executive session, and motion
was adopted calling upon the pres-
dent for the return of the notification
of the senate's previous action. When
this has been done the nominations
again will be referred to the inter-
oceanic canal committee for consld-
Grafton.
Before the decision was reached TO
reconsider the vote charges of rail
reading" nominations were made by
several minority senators, and coun-
ter-charges that the protestants were
proceeding in a manner not prescrib-
ed by the rules of the senate were
made by republican senators. The de-
cision developed the fact that there
had been no poll of the canal commits
sion nominations In question and as a
result the objection to reconsiderati ton
was withdrawn. 1t is generally under
stood that the purpose of the minority
senators In asking to have the nomi-
nations returned is to permit a pro-
test against Chairman Theodore p.
Shonts holding a position on the com,
mission and the presidency of the
Glover Leaf railroad at the same time.
The controversy in the senate resulted
from motion to take up the nomna-
ton of j, B. Bishop as a member OF
the commission, which was only sent
to the senate today.
If 1t is true that an attempt will be
made to hold up the confirmation OF

days. An effort will be made, how
