NOTORIOUS LAWYER DKAD J
Abe Hummel lUd Figured in "Fix
, tug" Mafcy Scaodala j
New York, Jan. 24.? The death in:
London, England, of Abraham H.
Hummel, which became known last
night, brings to ? close the career
of one of the moat sensational divorce
lawyers this country ever ,has known. (
It. marks also the passing of a former^
school of criminal barristers who
went to any extreme to gain their
cases.
Hummel was a disciple and part
ner as wo 11 aa former office boy of
William Frederick Howe, known dur
ing the Civil War as "Habeas Corpus*
Howe because oj his success in free
ing drafted men. As partners the
firm gained much notoriety in de
fending more than 650 murderers.
From 1870 to 1900, Howe and Hum
mel were retained in almost ijvery
criminal, divorce or theatrical case of
any consequence. The walls of their
dingy office on Center street were
lined with autographed pictures of
actors and actresses, while the hall
always was crowded with waiting
clients, private detectives and process
servers.
The firm of Howe & Hummel was
feared by all men and women who
burned the candle at both ends and
lived the life that lcajls to the di
vorce court or who were involved in
intrigues that were , apt to result in
breach of promise alienation suits.
It was said that the "butter and egg"
men of that day feAred the Howe &
Hummel imprint on a letterhead
worse than any other result of their
excursions alonjg the primrose path.
The partnership was unusual in
many ways. In their office was a
safe which was used to house the
office bucket." The partners, with the
young attorneys associated with them,
would meet eachf-cvening and pile
their fees for the day in a common
pool which then was divided accord
ing to each person's interest in the
business. They kept no books.
Howe died in 1(J02. Hummel's
nemesis was the same district attor
ney, William Travels Jerome, who
con v it- ted Ha**}' K. Thaw. Jerome
had characterized the Howe & Hum
mel firm as "for more than 20 years
a menace to this community." It was
he who finally sent Hummel to the
prison, on BlackwclP* Island for a
year on conviction on c ..?n ;p:racy sub
ordination of perjury in the notorious
Dodge-Morse divorce case.
As sensational in defeat as in vic
tory, Hummel gave a grand farewell
dinner at his mansion at 52 East
Seventy-second street^iust off Fiftn
avenue, attended by many friends,
ife served his prison sentence and
then expatriated himself, keeping his
self-imposed exile in Europe with the
exception of on or two brief visits to
the United States until his death.
Between 1 900 and 1905 before the
Dodge-Morse expose it was said the
firm brought about many large set
tlements in society scandals that
never found their way to the courts
or the press.
Not cold, hut the usual indoor win
tor atmosphere, warm, stagnant and
humid, is held responsible fbr the
malady commonly misnamed "colds."
Sufferers are advised to isolate them
selves if .possible, and always to ad
dress their remark to the ears of
their listeners, and save their noses
and mouths. t

PLENTY BOOZB IN KKNTUCKY
Sixteen Million Gallon* In Am Many
Warehouses in United Slaten
Louisville, Jan. 21. ? Should there
ever be occasion to give a "liquo/
party" to Uie one hundrett and ten
million inhabitant* of the United
States, they could all be invited to
Kentucky, each given A pint of ''real
red" and there would still be eighteen
million pints left, for within the state
boundaries are 'stored approximately
sixteen million gallons ? of bonded
whiskey. This* represent* about two
thirds of the bonded whiskey in the
United States, revenue authorities
here say.
The whiskey is stored in sixteen
warehouses, formery the property of
distillers. Of this number, eight are
located in Louisville, one of which
contains more whiskey than any other
warehouse in America. Each of them
is guarded with Ihree gpte of watch?
men, who receive from $100 to $126
per month. At night powerful
searchlights illuminate the buildings
and grounds.
The whiskey, however, pays for ita
own guarding, as the government
gets $2.20 for each gallon removed
from storage. In the last fifteen
months, more than 3,000,000 gallons
have been removed from Kentucky
warehouses for medical and manu
facturing purposes.
