DEATH KNELL OF FREEDOM tBy the Associated Press.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 16. The House to-day fixed the holiday recess by providing for adjournment next December 21 until January 4, 1906. The Insurance debate was then re Burned. More than fifteen members have applied for recognition on the aubject, and there Is no disposition to limit tha debate. Representative Morris (Neb.) opened the debate. He saw objection to referring the matter to any but the judiciary com mittee, because in his opinion a consti tutional amendment might be neces sary before anything could be done to regulate insurance. It .was pointed .out by Mr. Stanley (Ky.) that there wSa. great danger to the liberties of the people by the con stant encroachment, of Federal courts on matters properly belonging to State courts. ", To give Federal courts author ity over an Insurance contract, whlchi he said, was tho simplest contract. would be to set the precedent to give the same jurisdiction to all contracts, which would be the death knell ct free dom and the fight of trial by jury.

Ha sent ma to Judge Hall's office at Ct William street. Hummel afterward entered tha office with Btelnhardt. "Did you receive anything, for your aer vices?" "Tea, 825." "What did Hummel aay to you?" "He told me that ho anted to see if a certain man would imsiaxe me tor some one else." "You knew by what you heard there that there was a dispute as to the ser vice of a summons?" "I did." Justice Rogers, who is trying the case, asked at this point: "And when Sweetser greeted you as Mr. Dodge yoft did not make any re sponse?" "I did not." Charles W. Morse, the banker, or ganiser of the American Ice Company and other corporations, was next called to the witness stand. It was In order to secure an annulmentment of the marriage of Mrs. Clemence Dodge to Morse that the alleged conspiracy was entered Into by Hummel. Mr. Morse said that Hummel told him in 1902 that Mrs. Dodge's divorce from Dodge was corrupt and bad. Morse said he answered that if any thing was wrong he wanted to set right. The witness said that Sweetzer showed him a newspaper picture ot Dodge, which the lawyer said he had with him when he served the sum mons. Delancey Nicoll. Hummel's at torney, then said: 'When you called his attention to the fact that on the date of the paper the picture was not printed until months after the service ot the summons, what did he say?" "That he would have to frame up some excuse," was the reply. Mr. Morse testified that his wife said she preferred a new divorce from Dodge, and she started an action for one. He said that Hummel was to act as Dodge's counsel In this new divorce and that the case was stopped by In tervention proceedings. Mr. Morse was asked about the attitude of his uncle, Captain James T. Morse, the New Eng land ship owner, regarding the mar riage with Mrs. Dodire. "You have heard him say that Mr. Dodge was an un.1t woman for you to marry?" he was asked. "Yes." Mr. Morse said that he was In Dis trict Attorney Jerome's office, and that Mr. Jerome was sent for when Captain Morse' said he had taken legal steps to break the marriage. -Judge Ernest Hall, who acted as ref eree in. the Dodge divorce case In 1903, testified that Sweetzer took Herbltch for Dodge at other hearings, and that he afterwards understood that Her bltch. was there simply .that it might be se,en. whether Sweetxer would recog nise him as Dodge. Judge Hall said that Dodge himself was present at a later meeting, and that he did not at all resemble Herbltch in appearance. After this testimony the case waa ad journed until next Monday, , t . .. 1 1 i DURD.W A?iD mm Aagtorw Oyaaaa aad Taaw Tww ilsahiiaa, Tha railroad frott Apa ta bur. , hats has bora cMBBletod aad will hw gta atiratloa la a few daja.

' There are a number of stations on the line and among them are Oyama and Togo, 'which is sufficient to show where tha sympathies of President Angler were In the Russian-Japanese war.
