FUNK SAYS IT'S A PLOT
Alienation Suit Inspired by Lormer
Crowd For Revsnse-Hennins and
Wife Former Employees Of Hotel.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Evdence tending
to show that the mysterious John and
Josephine Henning," named in a suit
for alienation of affections against
Clarence S. Funk. are but tigureheads
in a plot to besInirch the character of
the International Harvester Company
manager was unearthed Saturday by
detectives in the latter's employ,
Both Mr.. Funk and r.. q. Bancroft
his attorney. charge that the $4,000
suit is an aftermath Of Mr.. Funk's tes-
timony before the Lorin1er investigat-
ing committee. For months, they say.
they have had knowledge Of con-
spiracy to ruin Mr.. Funk's good name
because he testified that Edward Hines
had solicited $4,000 from the harvester
company to be contributed toward Mr..
Lorimer's campaign fund.
Since it became known that he was
to testify concerning the alleged con-
versation with Mr. Hines. Mr.. Funk
says he has been under constant es-
pionage by private detectives. These
detectives not only bounded his wire
and members of his family business
associates and neighhors, but they have
offered bribes Of from 5000 to $1,000 to
newspaper reporters If they could get
evidence of Funk's relations with wo-
men that would show him up" accord
ing to Mr.. Funk.
Mrs. Henning is described as q strik-
ing looking young woman, Of pro-
nounced brunette type. Before her
marriage her name was Mrs. Josephine
O'Reilly.
Mr.. Funk denies positively that he
ever knew her or even spoke to a wo-
man cashier at the Congress hotel. He
continues to attribute the suit to the
testimony he gave in connection with
the investigation of the election of
United States Senator William Lori
mer.
Henning and his wife were reported
to be in Mobile. lala., today by detec-
tives employed by Mr.. Funk. Counsel
for Mr. Funk declared that efforts
would he made to have the suit against
him called for trial in the near future.
James II. Marble, attorney for the
United States senate investigating
committee, and Edgar A. Bancroft. at
torney for Mr.. Funk. held conferences
today, the details of which were not
made public.

the defense fairly launched its attempt
to prove that Mrs. Rush killed her hus
band in self defense than her attorneys
began to amass testimony to show the
exact nature and extent of the claimes
intimacy between Rush and Miss War
ner and to prove the excellence of Mrs.
Rush's reputation. The bulk of the evil
dence during Saturday afternoon was
on these two phases of the case.
Five witnesses sWore to details in
dicating that the telephone girl and the
station agent were more than good
friends. According to one witness.
George Gerdes. a young Sheffield far
mer who claimed to be repeating what
he heard Rush tell Mrs. Rush, the in
timacy Of Rush and Miss Warner was
illicit.
Testimony More Than Sensational.
Gerdes testimony was more than
sensational. tt contained obscene
words and the important part Of it
is unprintable. The states attorneys
do not believe 1t and they do not think
that the jury will.
Eighteen witnesses were called on to
prove Mrs. Rush's general good reputa
ton. Their evidence covered a period
with Mrs. Rush while living in Osce-
ola, Jamiesen. Cambria and Sheffield.
The state cross examined none of them.
Altogether the defense had twenty
four witnesses on vhe stand during the
half day session.
Defcnse Fails With Mother.
From evidence given earlier in the
trial it was presumed that Mrs. ]. ].
Funk. the mother Of Miss Warner.
would prove valuable aid to the de-
fense in establishing that her daughter
and Rush had been unnecessarily in
innate. 1t had been alleged that Mrs.
Funk had written Rush letter re-
garding his relations with her daugh-
ter The defense failed completely With
the mother. When asked If she knew
OF the intimacy Of her daughter and
Rush she said "No."| Iiggett's objec-
tions barred the defense from getting
further information from her regard
ing the subject and prevented her
from answering when asked If she
wrote the letter to Rush.

The Danger Of the Inferior

We are often told that one reason why we
should not go down to the inferior things is that
they satisfy But the danger 8 that
they may satisfy u.s. A boy at school may come
to like evil talk and unworthy stories. When he
left home such things were unnatural and dis
tasteful to him, but he let himself down to them
little by little until anything else uncongenia1
him. The inferior things have come to satisfy
him. A popular lecturer told recently of having
heard one woman say to another as they came
away from an Ibsen play Il do not like Ibsen
He takes the hope out of life" If she spoke sim
cerely, it was only because she had brought her
self to such unnatural philosophy. She did
not begin life with so unwholesome and untrue
view. In the days that were real and worthy it
was hope which made life beautiful. If now she
preferred hopelessness It was because her pref
erences had degenerated, and that had begun to
satisfy her which formerly would have been the
very depth of darkness to her.
This is the peril of the souls freedom. The
very capacity to rise involves the capacity to de-
scend. Just as we can go forward from any at
tainment. discontented with it, to higher things
which alone can satisfy us, SO we can 60 back

SERVICE FOR MUTES.
Texas Church Whose Members
Are All Deaf.
Crying Babies or Late Corners DO Not
Disturb This Congregation
municants Are of All Creeds
and FolIowingss

Fort Worth, Texas.-Sermons with
never spoken word, congregational
singing without an audible note Of
melody, public prayers in which there
is no sound, Sunday school teachers
whose lips are inarticulate. All these
are 1nctdentals of the Sunday services
Of Fort Worth church.
The pastor is not disturbed by cry
Ing babies, and the late comers do
not take the trouble to tip-toe, but let
their heels fall noisily on the uncar-
peted floor. The belfry that tops the
building is purely ornamental, for no
member of this unique congregation
could hear any bell invented.
No church in the United States is
like it. It is the only church in the
whole country whose congregation is
composed wholly of deaf mutes. r.
The sixty or more deaf mutes living
in Fort Worth organized the congrega-
tion, called the First Evangelical
church for the deaf, in 1907. The real
founder is the Rev. J. w. Mtchaels OF
Louisville, KY, who is still the pas
tor, although he can make only four
visits year to his voiceless flock.
The building, a neat and substantial
structure, was built solely by deaf
mutes. The pulpit was carved by the
Sunday school superintendent, G. w.
Sheppard, who is skilled woodwork
man.
There is no church debt. None OF
the members IS wealthy, and the con-
gregation has had a hard struggle.
But 1t has won because the members
are very proud Of having the only deaf
mute church in the United States and
are correspondingly loyal. 49,
The church is interdenominational

and western literature lost one Of it's
brightest geniuses.
Ware, known as "Ironquill," was a
harness maker, lawyer, politician and
poet. In the minds Of his friends the
last should come first, but personally
he always belittled his ability as a
poet, and instead of being proud of
his success he spoke disparagingly of
his verses. In this he was alone.
He came to this city in 1867 and be-
gan to work at his trade as harness
maker. A competitor was advertising,
so Ware had to do the same. He went
his competitor several better by writ
ing his advertisements in verse. This
attracted attention and he went to To-
peka, where he wrote poetry and
studied law, keeping his identity as a
poet under cover. His explanation for
this was: 81 was afraid people
wouldn't hire fool poet for a law

by poisonous gases as could the experts on any
of the government mine rescue cars and who
