Miss Dorothy 'Wilson's formal intro
duction to sociPty was made last nignt
under most auspicious circumstances at
the reception -and dance given by her
mother, Mrs. Joseph C. Wilson, at Stein
berg's and attended by a large and
fashionable company. It was quite the
prettiest of the dances which have been
given thus far this season. The dancing
hall and reception and supper rooms
were adorned- with Alabama smilax,
overhanging- the door and window
arches, entwining the chandeliers and
garlanding central pillars and the walls.
In the reception and hall room the flow
ers usedwere American Beauty- roses
and in the supper room where a coursed
supper was served on quartette tables
lighted by pink shaded candles there
were pink roses. The company was rep
resentative of many sets and ages in
society, ranging from the buds to their
parents and a spirit of unusual gaiety
prevailed, making the event a memora
bly happy and successful one. A great
many handsome toilets were worn and
all the "buds" at that irresistible age
when a girl can not help being pretty if
the tries. In their charming- dancing
Irocks. made an uncommonly pretty
picture against the background o ef
fective decorations. Miss Wilson's gov.n
was of white embroidered batiste. She
carried an armful of Amen, 'an Reality
roses and easily sustained the family
reputation for good looks. Mrs. Whson
wore an especially becoming toilet of
lavender crepe de chine and h" iiowers
were violets. Mrs. Wilson and Mi-s Wil

HUfEL CASE CALLED.
Noted Divorce Lawyer Charged With
Conspiracy In-Dodge-Morse Suit.
New York, Dec. 13. The trial of Abra
ham H. Hummel, one of New York's
most widely known lawyers, on the
charge of conspiracy, was on the calen
dar before Justice Rogers in the su
preme court today. The charge against
Hummell grew out of the sensational
Dodge-Morse divorce litigation in which
it was alleged that Hummell entered
into a "conspiracy to procure perjured
evidence. Former Supreme Court Jus
tice Edgar L. Fursman, also was indict
ed on the charge of conspiracy in the
fame case.
The conspiracy and perjury charges
were made after an investigation by
District Attorney Jerome of allegations
that the courts had been made use of
In an improper manner in an effort to
procure an annullment of the decree of
divorce obtained by Mrs. Dodge against
Charles F. Dodge. After the divorce
Mrs. Dodge was married to Charles W.
Morse, a capitalist of this city, who is
very prominent in banki- and steam
shin affairs. The real object of the de
sire to obtain an annuiiment of the
Dodge divorce was said to be to thereby
invalidate the the marriage of Mrs.
Dodge and Morse. Why it was sought
to invalidate this marriage has never
been definitely learned, but the most
sensational stories have been in circu
lation on the subject the most per
sistent being that a declaration of in
validity insteaxl of a divorce was de
sired in order that another mairiage
might take place with a wealthy mem
ber of the Roman Catholic church un
der the rites cf that church.
Hummel! appeared in the proceeding as
attorney for Charles F. Dodge and pre
sented a claim by Dodge that he never
was properly served with the summons
in Mrs. Dodge's suit; that he was not
represented bv counsel at the trial and
that he knew nothing of the matter un
til he was served with a certificate of the
decree Former Justice Fursman then
came into the case as counsel for Mrs.
Morse and the legal proceedings con
tinued up to the point where on January
1 lftOt. the Dodge-Morse annulment was
entered in the supreme court. Then an
attornev named Swreetzer, who had
served the papers on Dodse and who bad
been at work on the case to save his
professional reputation, discovered letters
from Dodge to Mortimer Rtiger, also an
attorney, saving he (Dodge) had been
served with papers in a divorce suit and
authorizing P.uirer to act His his attorney.
Ruier had died before the latter pro
ceedings. Dodge was at once indicted,
and after a long and bitter legal battle
was brought back from Houston. Tex. A
member of Hummell's law firm repre
sented Dodge in Texas in li's efforts to
P'-event extradition to New York. After
Dodne was brought back here he made
a statement in which he accused Hum
mell of having dictated to him the false
affidavit. He said he had been plentifully
supplied with money, the source of which
he dd not nuestion. and that all the
efforts to nrevent his return to New York
were made under ttve direction of Hum
mell. Squirrel Case Dismissed.
The case of the state against O. A.
Ham mell. the Fourth street butcher, who
was charged with exposing red squirrels
for sale, was called in. the city court
this' morning and on motion of the
county attorney was. dismissed. The

per on "The Origin of Some Famous
Hymns." She began in the early cen
turies and came on down through all
the ages of hymnology to the present
day. She told in a very pleasing way
some of the little incidents which in
spired the different writers to compose
some of our finest hymns. Among the
hymns she mentioned were: The Te
Deum, Cardinal Newman's "Lead
Kindly Light," Luther's hymn "A
Mighty Fortress Is Our God" which is
said to have had so much to do with
the Reformation; Bishop Heber's
"From Greenland's Icy Mountains;'
"Abide With Me," "Just As I Am
Without' One Plea," "Jesus Lover of
My Soul," "Rock of Ages." Mrs. C. E.
Jordan's paper on "The Evolution of
the Piano" showed careful study.
From the spinet of our grandmothers
to the piano of the present day is a
long period, but Mrs. Jordan in her
paper covered it most admirably. The
last paper, "Noted Prima Donnas,"
was by Mrs. A. M. Petro. Short
sketches of Jenny Lind, Pattl and
many other famous singers were given
by her. Mrs. Petro's delivery Is most
pleasing and her remarks were list
ened to with much interest. Mrs. J.
A. Campbell contributed to the pro
gramme with a piano solo. In the
social hour refreshments were served
by the hostess. One visitor, Miss
Evelyn Holman. was present. The
next meeting will be January 2 at the
home f Mrs. A. M. Petro, 1018 To

Will
Continue to Arrest Express
Agents, lie Saj s.
"We are simply going to continue to
arrest these express agents," said City
Attorney Drenning today. "They don't
want to act square in this matter of
paying up their license. We showed
this up when we drew up a contract
here in which they were to pay over
the amount of the disputed license
pending the settlement of the legality
of the ordinance, the city agreeing to
refund the license. I sent these con
tracts to the heads of the express com
panies and they refused to accept
them. I think it demonstrated clearly
that they didn't want to tote fair. I
don't see any reason why an express
company should not pay. The tele
phone and telegraph companies pay a
license and they are not fighting any
collection. The wagons of these ex
press companies run over our streets
and wear out our pavements without
paying a cent in the way of taxes.
"We are going to continue to issue
warrants for the arrest of these agents
in order to protect us in the statute of
limitations."
Fashionable Embroidery.
That the use of embroidery in their
dress has become a craze among fash
ionable women .was most noticeable at
the horse show. Perhaps the smartest
hat there was an embroidered creation.
It was a black satin hat with a touch
of pale blue and a glint of gold in its
trimming. But the new touch was the
exquisite, embroidery which trimmed the
crown and the flaring brim. This was
not appliqued embroidery, but as
worked with silk and gold threads right
on the satin. The- design was of con
ventional flowers of pale blue and faint
pink, and the- leaves were worked in
green and gold threads.
, Many embroidered waistcoats were
a&so seen at the horse show. Those
in the loose, straight-front effect were
the newest. They were made of kid.
satin, siik or velvet, and the embroid
ery "was extremely elaborate. Worn
