Abe Hummel's Fee.

The plaintiff testified that Hummel told
her he kept $500 of the $4,000 for his
services. In another letter to Hummel
the plaintiff complained that she could not
get leave Of absence as a clerk in the
Post Office Department. She Also said in
this letter that a man named Miller took
the Platt letters to the White House and
showed them to Mr.. Loeb, and he told
Miller to bring them back again. These
letters to Hummel were written by the
plaintiff after the $4,000 was paid by
Senator Platt's then counsel. De Lancey
Nicoll.
The plaintiff also wrote to Hummel:
Not for a million coin of the realm
would l stand in the way of hostess en-
pertaining the Platts. If the Platts only
knew how absolutely satisfied l am they
would not let me know how they are be-
ing done up socially
Alleged Letters From Platt.
Letters purporting to be from Senator
Platt to Mrs. Wood were introduced at
Yesterday afternoons session. They be-
gan Dear Cathy.' My Dear. Dearest
May-June- November Bride" My Dear
Little Dear One" and they were signed
respectively "T.CP.." Lovingly yours.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP
OF MOTORING TOPICS

Nothing so clearly demonstrates the
position the auto trade has taken in the
the business interests Of the country
than the legislation which is being di-
rected toward the regulation ana re-
striction OF motoring traffic.
The close Of the-+egislative season viii
mark some epOch-maEing revisiOns or
the code.
Not the least of these is the Federal
license bill, which has attracted national
attention and which viii be given a
hearing before the judiciary Committee
of the House of Representatives this
week. Seldom have the Representatives
Of any trade interest rallied so Unani-
mOusly TO the support of a proposition
as in this instsnce. Another feature of
the fight was the mastery campaign
planned and Waged under the auspices
Of the A a. 4. The matter has been
brought to The attention of autoists
from coast TO coast and the Ma
port of practically every local and state
organization in the country.
The washington Auto Club, from its
location at the seat Of operations has
had a CHARGE to bear the brunt Of the
night and has. perhaps, done more
toward the cause, in the way OF dtSsem-
mating information and personal appeal
TO legislators, than any other one club
Most surprising of all is the fact
that so little opposition has developed
toward the measure. It was hardly to
be expected that the bill would not be
met with some objections. And despite
the necessity of the reform, at least two
clubs have declared against II as il now
stands. The Professional Chauffeurs'
Club, Of New York city, and the Auto
mobile Club, Of Springfield, Mass, while
they are not cut of sympathy with the
purpose of the regulation, viii endeavorI
to have several clauses modified.
Neither of these clubs is opposed to
the idea OF Federal lice Sc, but think
the penalty for NfTactiOr of certain pro-
visions in the bill Whicl will probably
SO before the House are too severe.
The Springfield motto lists claim that
the regulation which would prevent any
obtaining another for five years is much
too rigorous, and they have asked Con-
gresham Gillstt 10 try to have this
section of the bill amended.
The Massachusetts autoists heatedly
decry a proposition compelling every
owner OF an automobile TO be registered
in each State, but this protest must be
the result OF a misunderstanding OF the
provisions of the bill. which is designed
particularly to do away with this very
nuisance and requires only that d car
owner comply with the license require
ments Of his own state.
A wave of reform in the direction OF
good roads OF vital interest to 4 atolsts,
and especially the touring enthuSiasts,
