New York, Dec. 21.—Abraham Hummel, one of New York's famous criminal lawyers, was found guilty by the jury before whom he was tried on a charge of conspiracy in the Dodge- Morse divorce case. He was Immediately sentenced to one year's imprisonment and a tine of $500, the full penalty. He was sent to the Tombs and was later released on a certificate of reasonable doubt. St. reiersburg, Dee. 21.—The general Russian political strike began in Moscow. All the worklnginen walked out from the factories and mills, and the railway employees ou six railways left the trains standing. New York, Dec. 21.—Senator George K. Malby, the Odell lender in the upper branch of the state legislature, made a bitter attack upon President Roosevelt for Interfering In New York state politics. He said: Fortunately This Immediate Vicinity Kncaped Serious Damage—Murgas Wireless Telegraph Tow- , er Damaged in Scranton ( —Windows Broken in Washington, Dec. 21.—Reports received at the weather bureau record the prevalence of an electrical storm with a heavy fall of rain and a wind reaching a velocity of 52 miles an hour at Jacksonville, Fla. That the members of the Sodality evidenced "the joy of giving" was proved when it was unanimously agreed that an annual collection of provisions will be taken for charitable purposes. It was first reported that a cyclone had struck the Florida city, as since before 6 o'clock last night It has beeh completely cut off from telegraphic communication with Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, the three nearest large cities. Moscow is intensely excited, for most of the strikers are armed. They fired on a train arriving there on the Kursk road and wounded the engineer and several passengers. Eveu the Moscow electric light plants are closed. "Andrew Johnson was Impeached as president of the United States for resisting the executlou of the acts of congress and various alleged high crimes and misdemeanors. Surely he could not have committed more flagrant offenses than President Roosevelt and Governor Hlggins in plotting to usurp the Inalienable and constitutional right of the assembly of the state of New York to choose Its presiding officer. By what divine or supreme earthly right does either the president or the governor tell us that we must make a me;, boy speaker of the assembly?" Northeastern Pennsylvania was vis! ited last night by one of the fiercest wind storms that has been experienced hereabout In several years. The 1 stprm began about 10 o'clock in the evening and was accompanied by a considerable fall of rain. High wind and rain prevailed throughout the night. About daylight the rain ceased, but the wind storm continued until the middle of the morning. Although the wind blew especially hard, comparatively little damage resulted In this Immediate vicinity. The strength of trees was tested severely, but beyond the Uttering of the streets and walks with dead branches nothing resulted. Seemingly, however, many trees and wire lines had very narrow escapes from being blown down, as they swayed and creaked throughout the night. The telephone and telegraph companies were fortunate enough to escape with comparatively little damage to their systems. Scranton reports that high gales prevailed throughout the night and early-morning In Lackawanna county, and Innumerable small accidents resulted. Many windows were broken by the storm and not a few telegraph 'and telephone poles went down be| fore the gale. The most serious piece ' of damage done In that vicinity, perhaps, was the destruction of the highest part of the Father Murgas wireless telegraph station, which is located on a high hill near the Laurel Line, In South Scranton. The upper part of tho tower runs high into the air and is always a mark for storms. This Is the second time the wireless system has suffered damage by storm, the Wllkesbarre tower having been damaged seriously about a year ago. TRESTLE BLOWN DOWN The district attorney asked for delay in imposing sentence. He said he desired to present to the court affidavits In his possession which would have a strong bearing upon the case. SITUATION IN SEVENTH. The Information which reached the weather bureau came in the regular nightly report from the observer at Jacksonville and made no mention of cyclonic disturbances. The course of events in Moscow foreshadows what will happen throughout the empire as fast as the workingmen's leaders can be communicated with. Wind Did Heavy Damage "I desire to sny," sHld Mr. Jerome, "that this man 1ms been a menace to the decency of this community for at Councilman Foy Made a at Laflin. Statement Today. The storm came probably from the gulf coast of Florida anjl raged over the northern part of the state, from which it shifted off, it is thought, into the Atlantic ocean. Yesterday afternoon the weather bureau sent out storm warnings for the benefit of shipping along the coast of Florida from Tampa northward and westward and along the Atlantic coast from Jacksonville north. These warnings were repeated last night. Governor General Doubassoff of Moscow proclaimed a partial state of siege, which gave the civil authorities exceptional powers of arrest. Miner Named Stephen Barncr IIa«l Narrow ICsoftpe From Being Kill- Mr. Mulby referred to the preference expressed by the governor for Assemblyman Wadsworth for speaker. Stated Conditions oil Which lie Will Aims of the Strikers, •Ml by Falling Timbers—Ool- Consent to Stand Again as Coun- The strikers hope to prevent the publication of all newspapers, to print and distribute only the organ of the Worklngmen's council, to close all government works except waterworks and to shut up every shop, wholesale and retail. They will not try to close the bakeries unless the bakers raise the price of bread. In a word, they propose to reduce the empire to a state of suspended animation. The police are arresting the strike leaders as fast as they lind them, but the arrests are few, as the leaders hide away from their homes and meet in secret, each time in a different place. cilman—His Opinion is That llery Will bo Idle for Charges Made by Odell Man. Both Parties Should Probably Two Months. Accusations by State Chairman Odell's advisers that President Roosevelt and CJovernor Higgins in usurping the prerogatives of a legislative branch of the government have committed quite as flagrant offenses as those for which the late President Andrew Johnson was impeached received a retort from the White House admitting that the president had discussed the New York assembly speakership with James W. Wadsworth, Jr., the Iioosevelt-Higgins candidate, but disclaiming'any favorite except "a man who would be uot merely personally honest, but aggressively honest, and who would not be the creature of any boss or ring, somewhat of the Herbert Parsons type. Nunie One Candidate, A large wooden trestllng 200 feet long and sloping from the top of Lailin breaker of the D. & H. Co., to the ground, was blown down this morning between 6:30 and 7 o'clock by the heavy wind and that many men were not killed seems almost miraculous, because the accident occurred Just when a large number of workmen had congregated to be lowered into the mine workings. Only one accident resulted, a miner named Steve Barner, of Hudson, being caught beneath the falling timbers and receiving an injury to one of his legs. as Last Time. Savannah, Ga., also felt the reflex effects of the storm, and at that city the wind also reached a high velocity, accompanied by thunderstorms. There is no political subject in the city attracting more interest than the question of common council nominations in the Seventh ward. There are several reasons for this, one that the Democratic caucus was not held on the evening fixed for it by Democratic Chairman Murphy and another that no formal expressions had been made on the subject of renominatlon 'by the present very efficient councllmen, John H. Foy and C. C. Bowman. THREE COMPANIES ON STAND Offioera of Washington, Qermania and mm Bankers' Lifa Testify. New York, Dec. 21.—The Washington Life Insurance company, the Germania Life Insurance company and the Bankers' Life Insurance company divided the attention of the legislative insurance investigating committee. The Warsaw firemen struck, refusing to take out the fire apparatus un til their pay is increased. The falling of the trestllng was accompanied by a terrific crash. The destroyed structure was built at a heavy pitch and consisted of a lapge amount of heavy lumber. The heavy wind of last night seemed not to have affected the structure, at least not to a degree that It was noticed and preparations were made as usual for a day's work. The fall came without the I least warning. The wind was whistling at a high rate when all of a sudden the entire foundation seemed to collapse and the weight tore the trestllng from its fastenings to the breaker. Tf any men had been directly under the structure they would have I been killed. I Barner was struck by the outer extreme of the falling timber. He had been to the blacksmith shop getting some tools sharpened and he had stepped only a few feet from the door ' when the trestling fell and- he was pinned under the wreckage. Workjmen hurried to his relief and he was released In a short time and taken .to . his home. ABRAHAM H. HUMMEL. Some days ago Mr. Bowman, when spoken to on the subject, made a statement of his position, saying that he would like to be relieved of councllmanic duties knd would gladly give way to some efficient successor, but— most emphatically—he would be a candidate again unless some man in whom every citizen in the ward had the highest confidence would be named to succeed him. least twenty years. I can prove this by sworn affidavits. If the circumstances of this case do not move your honor to impose the maximum penalty I move that the matter he laid over until l'can present my affidavits." Government Cannot Send Orders. John Tatlock, president of the Washington Life, said that Thomas F. Ryan never sold the Washington Life any securities and that he never influenced or suggested to the finance board what securities to buy. Mr. Tatlock said he thought insurance companies should] be run by men in touch with Wall street because of their knowledge of the security market. He also favored the idea of Insurance companies speculating In securities. Troops occupied the railway stations lu St. Petersburg, and the government tried, with the aid of railroad battalions, to .maintain a train service, especially to the German frontier, and also to keep open cable communication with points abroad. The government cannot even wire orders to General LinevitcjB, commander of the army In Manchuria. Five operators in succession 011 the railroad Hues refused to send a cipher dispatety sigued by the czar. Even if thousands of worklngmen, repulsed by the methods of the "reds," should refuse to join the strike, the government enters the new struggle greatly harassed. The situation in the Baltic provinces is growing steadily worse. what of the Herbert Parsons type." Tills wns followed by a rejoinder from the executive chamber at Albany to the charge of Edwin A. Merrltt. Jr., the Odell candidate for speaker, that Higgins is trying to appoint the presiding officer of the assembly. Still later came a hurry call from Higgins to all Republican assemblymen to meet here. Justice Rogers sitfd that he would impose sentence at once and inflicted the maximum penalty, a flue of $.500 and imprisonment for one year iu the county penitentiary. Duryea people were kept awake last night by the wind storm and many of them were fearful about the danger of damage being done to property. A Jew accidents o&urred during the night At the Qilboy hotel building, the top of a skylight and a section of tin roof were blown away, landing on the roof of Joseph Freeman's residence. which Is close by. A plate glass window In the front of Watson's barber shop was broken. A barber pole that stood In front of the shop was blown over and crashed through the window. Mr. Foy made a statement today to a Gazette reporter of the conditions on which he would accept a renominatlon. He sftid: "It seems to be the best sentiment of the ward to divide the councllmen. The citizens seem satisfied with existing conditions. I feel that I have given all the time that could be required from me as a citizen and I would gladly shift the responsibility to others, but if the tax payers of the ward feel that present conditions will promote the best interests of the ward and city I would be willing to continue but under no circumstances or under no consideration will I enter into a competition among either Republicans or Democrats and I will not be a candidate if more than two are nominated. In brief, if three candidates for common council are nominated I will not be one of them." These were events lu the war that hns spilt the Republican party of the Empire State as at uo time since the historic Stalwart-Halfbreed struggle of the early eighties. Hummel Makes Statement. Hummel after being taken to the Tombs was seen by a reporter and said: Cornelius Doreruus, president of the Germanlu Life, said that about one-| third of his company's business was done In Europe, principally In Germany, and that this business In many respects is better than any done In America. He characterized the Ainerican ways of doing business as "wild methods." "I am now behind the burs, but I have been unjustly convicted through vindlctiveneas. Notwithstanding thedistrict attorney's statement that I hrfve been a menace to the country for twenty years, 1 am now behind the burs with a clear conscience." Roosevelt For Black For Leader. Troy, N. Y., Dec. 21.—During the visit of former Governor Frank S. Black to Washington lust week President Roosevelt urged blm to accept tlie leadership of tlie Republican party in New York state. Announcement of this fact was made at Republican headquarters in this city. Mr. Hlack declined the honor with thanks, telling the president that be would  follow his legal profession at present. President Roosevelt, it is said, assured Mr. Hlack that he could have the entire state patronage of the national administration regardless of either Senators Depew or Piatt, but this assurance did not change Mr. Rlack's determination. Considerable damage was done by the wind Btorm In Wilkesbarre. One of the plate glass windows in front of Jonas Long's Sons' store was blown In and smashed. There was a large "special sale" sign erected In front of the Weltzenkorn store, and this was shattered. The front of the People's Credit Co.'s store, at the corner of South Main And Northampton streets, was blown in. A $300 case that was standing in front of Flnberg's clothing store was overturned and ruined. A porch at the residence of Philip Lewis, on South Sherman street, was blown down. A large tree was uprooted on North Main street. It fell on the trolley wire of the Pittston-Duryea street car line, delaying traffic until the tree cquld be cut away. There was Interference with the electric power in various parts of the city, the Leader office being among the establishments handicapped. A report from Riga says that between that city and St. Petersburg the land lias been laid waste for 120 miles and all the buildings belonging to the landlords have been burned to the ground. In Courland the situation is still worse, the government being entirely In the hands of the rebels and the police being powerless. Rebel Letts, who are getting arms from some mysterious source, are ambushing the troops and driving them away, destroying bridges and turniug castles and landlords' residences into forts. As fast as the country is cleared of troops and Germans the Letts are setting up local governments. Preparations ore making for a general convention of representatives of Lithuania, at which women will vote. The state act-used Hummel of conspiring to Invalidate the legal divorce of the present Mrs. Morse, wife of C. W. Morse, the banker and former ice mugnate, from Charles P. lDodge, who jumped rapidly from one part of the couutry to another, being employed at various times as broker's clerk, waiter, bote! manager and restaurant proprietor. Hummel had the divorce set aside on the ground that Dodge had not been served in the divorce suit. Dodge has since confessed that he was served, and the divorce and Mrs. Dodge's marriage to Morse, which had been annulled, have been reinstated. The only contributions of a legislative character paid by this company were $500 to a fund having for its object the defeat of the mortgage tax law and $250 to further the passage of the lien bill in Albany in 1904. No campaign contributions had ever been made. The trestling is a complete loss and Its destruction means that the colliery will be forced Into idleness for about two months, at least that was the estimate made by John T. Lovering, general superintendent of the colliery. The most pleasant, safest and best remedy to use for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, etc., is Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar. This remedy expels all cold from the system by acting as a cathartic on the bowels. Sold by T. J. Yates. The company may repair the damage in several ways. It is possible that a new trestle will be rebuilt, but either cages or conveyors may be installed In its place. John Fuhrer, actuary of the Germania Life, said that the gain for the year is distributed either in annual or deferred dividends with the exception of 10 per cent, which is retained for a contingency. This, the witness said, had been the custom for a number of years. It was brought out that the Germania annually makes up a report for the German government separate from the one which it makes to the New York state insurance department. NARROW ESCAPE FROM ROBBERS Governor Higgine Explains, Mattress making at Williams & Co. Albany, N. Y., Dec. 21.—"I have no desire or intention of setting myself up as a political boss. I have tried to make myself pluin. I have simply indicated as my choice for speaker u man whose election I thought would be for the best interests of my party and the people of the state. 1 do not understand that when 1 was elected governor 1 was thereby precluded from holding or expressing my personal opinion in important matters affecting the welfare of the state and of my party. I believe 1 have still in those matters the rights of a private cltixen." General Manager of the Nordmont Huminel was employed by Captain James Morse, an uncle of C. \V. Morse, to break the marriage.
