CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY Prosecution Grew Out of the Attempt to Annul the Marriage of Charles W.. Morse, the Financier, to Mrs. Charles E. Dodge, a Divorcee. New York, May 11.—One year In state prison and to pay a fine of $500 was the sentence imposed-upon Abra- ham H. Hummel, the lawyer, who was convicted of conspiracy in the famous Dodge-Morse divorce case. Hummel was convicted in the New York state supreme court several months ago, but appealed to the appellate division of that court. The decision was affirmed by the higher court. Conspiracy to annul the marriage of Charles W. Morse, the financier, to Mrs. Charles E. Dodge was the crime of which Hummel was convicted. Mrs. Dodge had secured a divorce from her former husband in 1898. Three years later she was married to Mr. Morse. In 1903 Hummel, as counsel for Dodge, began proceedings to annul the decree of divorce separating Dodge and Mrs. Dodge on the ground that o papers in the case ‘Were ever served on Dodge. He was successful and the divorce was set aside, but it was learned subsequently that the papers had been served on Dodge. The de- cree of divorce was then reafirmed and Mrs. Dodge again became the wife of Mr. Morse. 'SPECIAL VENIRE ORDE_RED Haywood Trial Adjourned for Sev- eral Days.

Read the Daily Piuneer: FINED FOR ILLEGAL USE\ OF UNITED STATES MAIL Authorities Will Stop First Class Matter Being Mailed as Fourth' Class. Akeley Tribune — Inspector Mullen of the postoffice depart- ment was in town Saturday look- ing after a few cases of violations of the postal laws. The offenders are mostly those who send things laway and enclose a brief note with the same. Itis custo- mary for the offender to say “Please send premium No. X’ or similar notes when enclosing tobacco tags, syrup tags, clipped trade marks, etc. Even a short note like that renders it liable for the letter postage. The only premissible writing in matter of the_fourth class is the name of the sender and address of the party or parties to whom the articles are sent. Printed mat- ter does not increase the postage rate of fourth-class matter. But any matter of the nature of correspondence, whether writ- ten with pen or typewriter, rend- ers the package liable for the first class rate of postage, which is two cents per- ounce. As the difference is so slight it does not seem to be a good plan to try to get the lower rate and take the chances of .being caught, The fine for each offence $10. In the cases which had been brought to the attention of the postal authorities and turned over to Inspector Mullen for in- vestigation, he found that the violation was not a willful one and Tracts 1he settled each case accepting the fine of $10 provided for such violations. As the inspector is provided with all the evidence in advance he has no option except to collect the fine, or in case of refusal to pay to take steps for the guilty party’sarrest. This information is geaerally obtained at the delivering office. At the present low rate postage it is cheaper to pay the higher rate than take chances on being caught.
