After Higher Ups
in the funk Case

CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Hopes that
the "higher-ups" in the alleged con-
spiracy to ruin Clarence S. Funk,
former general manager of the Inter
national Harvester company follow
ing his important testimony in the
Lorimer senatorial investigation
might be dragged into the lire-light
were renewed today when Miss Al
leen Heppner, the woman of mys-
terry" in the fake alienation suit
against Funk, was placed on trial for
perjury and conspiracy.
Miss Heppner, pretty nurse, was
the "star witness" in the suit brought
against Funk by John G. Henning
who alleged alienation of his wife's
affections. She testified that she
saw Funk and Mrs. Josephine Hen
ming together in the Grand Pacific
hotel. Her testimony, however, was
refuted by that of other witnesses
she said were with her. The aliena-
ton suit collapsed and Henning and
his wife, who were located after sew
eral months search, confessed the
suit was ''frame-up" against Funk
and that they were well paid for their
parts. Miss Heppner, Attorney Gen
eral Daniel Donahoe and Isaac Site
fel, private detective, were then
indicted for conspiracy. Donahoe
was convicted and fined $4,000 and
Stiefel acquitted. The trial of the
two men, however, failed to develop
who paid the money that caused the
Hennings to play their roles in the
plot to defame Funk.

Denver Women
want on Jury

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 1S.-A grand
jury with women on it is the demand
that has grown here out of the dis
putes and difficulties which surround
the work of the last grand jury in
this city. The women of Denver have
decided that they can clear up mat
ters much more quickly than the men
have been able to clear them.
Only the fact that state statute
debars women from jury service pre-
vents the women from waiting upon
District Attorney Rush to demand the
right of service. To remove that law
the women have started movement
to introduce bill of repeal in the
next Legislature or, failing there, TO
initiate such measure.
Leaders in the movement declare
that, with few intelligent, keenly
thinking women on the grand jury,
more especial attention would be paid
to matters affecting the home and
welfare of children. The vice ques-
ton, the gambling and liquor ordin-
ances, the enforcement of the eight
hour law for women and the pure food
laws would come in for particular at
tention and consideration, they say.
The plea is not for jury composed
entirely of women but one wherein
women and men would be equally rep
resented.
Mrs. Harriet G. R. Wright and Mrs.
Lucy Harrington, prominent suffra-
gists, are leaders in the movement.
"It is the contention of all people
who believe in equal suffrage, in the
first place, that women should have
a place with jurors" said Mrs.
Wright. ut is simply matter of
justice.
I'VE women do not crave jury duty;
for that matter, it is difficult to find
man who isn't anxious to get out
of such service. But we do believe
that jury service is a responsibility
that should be shared equally by both
sexes. A grand jury is actually in
need Of women more than the ordin-
ary jury because it so frequently in
vestigates matters of vital interest to
the home and the child"
Mrs. Joel Shackelford, in speaking
of the question today, said:
81 am not one of those who be
lieves in the miraculous power Of wo-
men to cure all ills that human be
ings are heir to. Possibly grand
hurry composed sntirely of women
would prove no more efficient or ef-
fcctive than jury composed entire
ly of men. But any jury would be
more efficient If men and women
worked on it together for each could
profit by the others differences in ex-
perience and knowledge"

Plan Monster Pageant
For St. Louis in May

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1s.-"The Bigges,
Drama Ever Staged in America" is
the promise made today by William
w. La Beaume, chairman of the pro.
ductions committee, in announcing
the detailed plans of the pageant and
masque of Saint Louis, which will be
held at Forest park, the last week in
may, commemorating the 150th an
niversary of the founding of Sain,
Louis by Pierre Laclede
1.-The days of the mound builders
the coming of the French and Span
ish, the founding of the city, the
early struggles of the English, with
the Indians, the period of the Daniel
Boone pioneers, are among the pict-
uresque events which will be enacted
by cast of 1900, drawn from the
city itself. Art Hill, the natural
hippodrome of Forest park, will pro-
vide seating capacity of 100000
"Our aim in giving the drama,
said Mr.. La Beaume, today, sis to
upbuild a community spirit, and al
ready we have come to see there is no
way better of doing this than by get
ting the people interested in having
a drama of their own. All quarters
of the city are contributing their
share of the work. with the result
huf rhDI hn, hob
gest civic play movement ever
brought forth in this country. There
is no doubt either but the wonderful
beauty of the drama itself will have
lasting effect upon the lives of our
citizens
Percy MacKaye, poet and play
wright; Frederick S. Converse, found
er of the Boston Opera company; JOS
eph Linden Smith, who has been as
sociated with Mr.. MacKaye in the
production of "The Bird Masquc,'
both as actor and producer; Thomas
Wood Stevens, head of the school of
drama at the Carnegie institute
Pittsburg, are the artists who have
been retained for the production.
Stevens is the author of the page
ant, and MacKaye of the masque,
which will be a symbolical play with
the city of Saint Louis appearing as
youthful crusader in the cause of
civilization. The scenes of both the
pageant and the masque begin with
the ceremonial days of the mound
builders. The cost of the entire pro-
duction is estimated at $125,00C
which is now, being raised by popu-
lar subscription.

Palace Of Labor ;,
Plans Approved
United Press

OulLcu ITcbb
LONDON, Feb, 18.-Final plans
were approved today by the London
trades council for the proposed "Pal-
ace of Labor" to be erected in the
Drury Lane district at the cost of ap-
proximately s275,OO0. Besides pro-
viding a large assembly hall for lab
or conventions and suitable meeting
places for the various individual
trades unions, the building will con-
tain restaurants, club rooms, and a
moving picture tbeater. A unique
feature will be general provision
store on the ground floor for the pur-
pose of supplying food and clothing
to members during times of indus
trial troubles, in lieu of strike pay.
1t is figured that by buying supplies
at wholesale and furnishing them at
cost price the unions will be saved
at least 33 per cent in the handling
of their strike funds. In the moving
picture theater arrangements are be-
ing made to show especially films
telling distinctively labor Stories
which will be accompanied by large
orchestra and pipe organ with music
peculiarly adapted to the pictures
There are 1,200 unions in the trades
council representing membership Of
more than 100000.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 1s.-The

cent. The so-called retail plan was

Higher Taxes Urged
for the Capital
United Press.

United PresS.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 49,
Battling Ben" Johnson, representa-
tive from Kentucky, and known to
fame because of his near-fist fights
and his self confessed proclivity for
"toting a. gun" is not extremely popu-
lar with society folk here. Also the
real estate agents just positively
8 shudder- ~vsssn they hear his name. It's
all because johnson delved deep into
musty tones and discovered preced-
ent whereby he insists that the Dis
trict of Columbia ought to pay all its
. city expenses, instead of saddling the
federal government with half of them
as has been the case for nearly a
third of century.
Johnson, being Democrat, and
naturally bug for the Democratic
economy stuff, has been making the
rich society folks and the real-estaters
shake in their several boots pretty
nearly every day since that time by
pushing his scheme ahead. He is
chairman of the house committee
which legislates for the city of Wash
ington, too, and that means he is in
a position to make his recommend
ations carry weight. He holds that
the tax rate here is entirely too low,
and that by making the rich society
swells who own fine homes here
which they occupy during "the seas
on" pay more taxes, matters will be
evened up.
The old "half and half" plan was
adopted because the government own
ed so much property here, in parks,
government buildings, and reserva-
tions, it was thought Uncle Sam
ought to pay half of the districts ex-
penses. johnson would have the gov
ernment pay some. But he insists
this shouldn't be half of the city's ex-
penses. Naturally residents of Wash
ington are fighting the Johnson plan
as hotly as imaginable. johnson con-
tinually receives threatening letters
every so often. Teherefore the pistol
pocket and the determination to go
ahead with his ideas no matter what
happens.
