News Paralyzed Stocks
In New York For While

NEW YORK. 1S.-Local bankers do
not anticipate any trouble here as
result of the failure at Chicago. So
far as can be learned none Of those in
stitutions have any outstanding obliga-
tions in this city worthy of note.
The First National Bank is the chief
New York correspondent of the Chicago
National Bank All officials Of the First
National said this morning that the Chi
cago institution is carrying a good sized
balance at the First National. The Chi
cago National also has accounts with
the National Bank of Commerce and the
Phoenix National Bank here. Officials
of both institutions said that the West
ern bank had good-sized credit balances
with them.
Stocks Hurt.
The failure had a bad effect. natural
". in speculative circles. Stocks opened
weak and lower, the average losses
ranging from to 2 per cent Copper
had a few very bad minutes. 1t opened
with sales of 500 shares at 100. Then a
thousand shares were offered and sold
at 81. Ten thousand shares were quick
ly dumped on the market presumably
by the Lawson pool. and the stock was
sold at prices ranging between % and
s311.
At this point. the market was demoral-
lied. block of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
stock was thrown on the market and
sold at a net decline of over 4 per cent.
Then came steadying orders and the
whole market. led by Amalgamated,
rallied. copper gaining per cent.
General Situation Strong.
Capitalists who are familiar with the
condition of banks in many sections of
the United States. because they are
either directors of them or have close
business relations with these institu-
tions. say that the position of the three
failed institutions is criterion of the
general banking situation
1t has been known in railroad and
banking circles for a long time that the,
head OF those three Chicago institutions
was involved in many deals. At one time
he was offered $6,500.000 for his Indiana
railroad and refused IT, Railroad men
say that if he had accepted that offer
and restricted his operations to the
banking business the present disaster
would have been averted

Yorker. He has practised in every
court, civil and criminal.
The little man is Abe Hummel. the
lawyer. and he is playing new role.
After defending others for thirty-five
years, he is now a defendant himself
hShtlng TO keep out of prison.
All his skill and every legal trick he
knows are being employed 20 the best
advantage. IN conjunction with the ef-
Iorts of two OF the noted lawyers Of the
State.
Charge Against Hummel.
Hummel is charged with having used
fraudulent means to invalidate the di-
vorce obtained from her husband by
Clemence Cowles-Dodge. and TO disrupt
her marriage to Charles w. Morse. ice
man and bank president
When Hummel got into the Dodge
Morse case. il was not his first expert
ence in legal matrimonial tangle. For
years his speciality has been divorce cas-
es. In latter years, or for some time
prior TO the death of William f. Howe
Big BIZ Howe, who organized the
firm of Howe & Hummel some thirty
five. years ago-the principal work of
theefirm has been divorce cases. In al
peared on the side of the woman.
1t was a strange combination that
Howe and Hummel formed. Howe was
as big as Hummel is little. When Howe
was IN condition he weighed about 800
pounds. Hummel would about tip the
scales even with 9 lightweight jockey.
Hummel went to Howe as a boy. did
Office work, studied law and became
Howe's partner. As q moneymaker the
firm was II wonder.
Abe's Big Partner.
Their offices were on the ground floor.
just little above the street level, of an
old frame building at the southeast
corner of the old Tombs before its arch
itecture was changed
Outside were flaring signs that no one
could miss, shouting to the criminal
world that the law firm of Howe &
Hummel was ready for whatever busi-
ness came its way. And there was
plenty of grist from the old Tombs
ground in the Howe & Hummel mill
They We're great days for Bill Howe.
Many big criminal cases came his way.
Hummel, shrewd, calculating and clever
to degree, looked after the office work
and the preparation of the cases, or
much of that detail. Howe took the
cases to the jury.

sccentuating his breadth of body. An
enormous gold bar watch chain was
strung across his breast, from armpit to
armpit. On his fingers were many rings,
with big, blazing diamonds.
From his tie of red or some f1aring
design cleaned a diamond as big as a
thumb nail. Once you saw Bill Howe
you never forgot him.
Effective With Jury.
He was considered very effective with
a jury. He could shed tears, bitter and
warm. at the drop of hat. or for less
cause if he thought ii would help his
client in my way. When Howe went
into a court room. il was the signal for
a crowd to gather. for it generally
meant that something sensational was
going TO happen. And that is the man
with whom Hummel got his training.
But Howe had other peculiarities. He
lived in a big house In the Bronx until
his death, three years ago, when he was
seventy-five years old. The house was

, dogs. The doors were locked. chained
and barred. 1t would take a regiment
Of soldiers TO storm the house. Howe
is said 10 have had a superstition that
some man whom he had sent to Jail
would come out from prison seeking
vengeance
Both Howe and his younger partner,
Hummel, gained influence in Tammany
Hall under different regimes. Howe
went on the stump ana made speeches.
Hummel did work that the public hears
little about. But all the tinIe he was
strengthening himseir with a certain
part of the community, and 1t is said
that he numbers many supreme court
judges as his friends.
Counsel for Actors
Early in his career Hummel went in
for theatrical cases. He has been the
counsel for many weI-known actors
and actresses. In his office today-he
has moved from the old Center street
TO more pretentious surroundings in
the New York Life puilding-one can
see. pictures of Henry Irving, Lillian
Russell, and Nine. Sembrich. bearing
inscriptions such as Ito my friend, Mr.
Hummel." There are very few actors
and actresses that he doesn't know
personally, and q great number of them
have been his clients.
Some Office Secrets.
What stories of marital troubles
have ben told in the Offices presided
over by Hummel. Many Of them. Of
course, never saw the inside of a
court room. But great many have.
If Hummel could only tell some of
the things that have been told TO him,
there are many persons who would
have days and nights of worry and
trouble
How has this law firm of Howe &
Hummel been managed? Not like
other firms, If the testimony at Hum
mers trial is any indication. Few
books are Kept, and they are not kept
long.
There is a register and a diary and
Pa petty cash book. In the cash book
are recorded the amounts paid by
clients. There is no record kept of
checks.
Cash Books Destroyed.
But the cash book-how long is it
kept?
Never more than a year. 1t is de-
stroyed, at least so say men employed
by the firm. AS to moneys paid out
by the firm, there may be some account
kept Of them. but If there is, no one
in the firm will admit it,
Hummel's record is not entirely
clear. II seems that some twenty-five
years ago he was disbarred The
records show that he either gave
judge watch or attempted to bribe
him with a watch in q case in West
chester county.
For that little bit of indiscretion he
was barred from practicing for year;
but at the end of shat time he was re-
instated, the reason offered being that
ne had been overzealous in the interest
OF his client. but that he was young and
his intentions were not bad
II you go TO any first night in this
city you will see Hummel In the thea
ter. He never misses one, unless kept
TO the house by illness. He is an in
veterate theatergoer. Much OF his life
seems to be centered in the stage and
It's ways. He is fond Of its people. and
they seem to like him.
What will be Hummers defense to the
charge that nc conspired TO invalidate
q lawful and proper marriage? That is
1ne question That every one is asking
VIII HummePs defense be:
decline TO answer on the ground
that IL might tend TO incriminate me?"
