Fierce Fighting in Bukowina.
In the rest Of Poland and In the Car

in progress. there has been no change
in the relative positions Of the oppos-

should~be an advantage to the Rus

The contrary is said to have been the

CONFEREES CONSIDER.
DISTRICT MONEY BILL
Differences Over the "Half-and-
Half" Plan Are Not
Settled.

The Senate and House conferees on
the District appropriation bill got together
yesterday afternoon for the first time
since the bill was passed by the Senate
nearly five weeks ago. The difference
between the two houses over the half
and-half plan of appropriating for the
District of Columbia was not settled.
1t is generally understood, however,
that the conferees will report a dis
agreement on this matter and that it
will be again submitted to the House
for vote.
At that time, it is possible that an
effort will be made to instruct the con-
ferees to place an item in the bill pro-
viding for an investigation of the
fiscal relations between the federal
government and the District by an i'm
partial commission. An attempt to
place SUCH provision in the bill was
made by Senator Gallinger when the
bill was before the Senate, but was
ruled out on a point of order
Against johnson Rider.
The Senate conferees are firmly
aligned against tho so-called johnson
rider. carried in the House bill. which
destroys the half-and- half plan without
any investigation. The Senate by an
overwhelming vote restored the Ian
guage of the old lay and instructed its
conferees to stand up for that action.
Senator Smith Of Maryland, chairman
of the conference. stated after the
meeting that good progress had been
made in the consideration of other Sem
ate amendments to the bill, although
he did not specify which had been
agreed to or rejected. He said that the
conferees would meet again tomorrow,
and hoped to be able to make their
report soon.

Scandal.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, February 20.-An echo OF
the Lorimer scandal in the United
States Senate and the $4,000 afiena-
tion suit against Clarence S. Funk, who
testified to the relations between Lori
mer and Edward Hines. the lumber
magnate, was heard today in the su-
perior court. when Josephine Hennins
filed suit for divorce against John
Henning.
When Lorimer had been ousted from
the Senate, partly through the testi-
mony of Funk, a conspiracy was
formed, it is asserted, to disgrace Funk
in the public mind. John and Josephine
Henning were chosen by the plotters
to play the leading part in the con-
spiracy. it is said.
John Henning was bellboy in a
hotel. and his pretty wife was in
charge of the checkroom. Certain law
yers approached Henning. and by lib
eral offers of money got him to agree,
1t was testified.
Then, through Henning and the per-
suasion of the lawyers, Mrs. Henning
was persuaded. it is said. to take part
in the scheme, which she was told
would harm nobody. and would never
go any IaFIneT tHdH tHe ming oI d

Suit for $4,000 Filed.
With the signature of Henning to the
declaration, and the promise of Mrs.
Henning's testimony, suit was filed in
the name of Hennfng against Funk. de-
manding $4,000 for the alienation of
Mrs. Henning's affections, and naming
several times and places where Funk
and Mrs. Henning were said to have
met.
But the evidence was SO pa1pably
manufactured that the jury took only
eleven minutes to exonerate Funk.
Then Henning and Mrs. Henning were
kept out of reach of officers, and not
until about a year later was Henntng
taken.
On the stand, charged with con-
spiracy. Mrs. Henning told everything
and expressed the utmost contrition
for having been led into plot to de-
fame a good man. Henning substan-
tiated the story of the plot.
satisfied with the exposure Of the
plot and the public exoneration, Funk
did not wish the minor parties to the
MOT punished. They were granted
immunity.
Mrs, Henntng charges that her hus-
band deserted her May T. 1912, one day
after their third anniversary. The de-
