(Mrs. Josephine Henning, who confessed plot against Clarence Funk, at top. Clarence S. F'unk, in center. Miss Aileen, implicated in Mrs. Henning's confessions, below.) CHICAGO, July 17. With the confession of Mrs. Josephine Henning that the suit for $25,000 damages for the alieniation of her affections brought by her husband against Clarence S. Funk, General Manager of the International Harvester Company, was nothing more than a "frame up" to ruin the latter's character, it is expected that the Grand Jury will shortly hand down indictments, charging perjury, against all those who testified and swore falsely against Mr. Funk. The plot to ruin the International Harvester official grew out of his testimony in the investigation into the fund alleged to have been raised for to ensure the electon of William Lorimer, who has just been expelled from the U. S. Senate. Funk involved Edward Hines, a millionaire lumberman, stating that Hines had approached him and asked him to contribute $10,000 to the $100,000 fund that had been used to "put Lorimer over."

THOUSANDS AMERICAN

(National News Association) STOCKHOLM, July 17 Thousands of persons visited the liner Finland upon which the American athletes are living during their stay in Stockholm and showered congratulations upon the victors of the International Olympic games today. The heroes of the hour were James Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian school athlete; Ten Mere dith of the Mercersburg, PennsylvaniaJ academy; Little Gaston Strebino, the Patterson, N. J. marathoner; Charles Reidpath, the speedy Syracuse university runner and Patrick McDonald, the big New York policeman who showed up so brilliantly in the weight putting events. But these athletic conquerors did not monopolize the honors. Those who are interested in swimming-looked upon Duke Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian man-fish, as an athlete as great as any other. The Americans held a levee and the liner flying the star spangled banner was a center of social activity throughout the day. Many of the American spectators who had an opportunity to greet "our boys" went out to the ship to pay their respects. Many of the other visitors were foreigners who looked with deep admiration upon the brawny representatives of Uncle Sam. Some athletes put in part of the day seeing the sights of the city while others made preparations to depart for Dover, Knglaiid, whence they sail Sunday ou the Vaderland for New York. The success on the Finland today were in marked contrast to those from the Olympic games in London four years ago. At that time considerable ill feeling was allowed to show itself. In the present instance about the only ill feeling that has manifested itself has appeared in the London Press. The Americans have voted the Swedes among the best entertainers in the world and this feeling in Great

VISIT AND GIVE ATHLETES PRAISE

Britain is reciprocated as regards the guests. The trophies won by the Americans were placed upon view on the Finland. Thorpe, the dark-hued Indian, or "real American" as he is jokingly called by many, has the best showing showing among the trophies. Thorpe is particularly proud of the Decathlon trophy, offered by the Czar of Russia, which carries with it the unwritten appellation of the "best all around athlete" in the world. All the Americans are jubilant and have already cast eyes towards the 1916 Olympiad which will be held in Berlin. Trainer Mike Murphy, said this afternoon "I am positive that our present team could beat any other nation in the world in a dual meet. Nowhere in the world could be found better sportsmen and all round fine gentlemen than in Sweden. We have nothing but praise for our hosts." United States Commissioner, Jas. E. Sullivan expressed similar sentiments: "Winning of the fifth renewal of the Olympiad is certainly a magnificent, a splendid victory," said he. "Everything has passed off smoothly and pleasantly. The death of Lazare, the Portuguese marathon runner was the only touch of sadness. That was unavoidable. The games just ended have brought forth new champions and have demonstrated that "youth will be served." One of the features of an analysis of the result is the unexpectedly poor showing of former Olympic champions. Ralph Rose, the California shotputter; Melvin W. Shepard. the New York runner; George Horrine, the California high jumper; Jas. Duncan, the New York discus thrower, and others who did phenomenal work in Olympics or other games in the past showed up poorly. John Paul Jones, the Cornell runner, was another man who fell below

expectations; on the other hand, James Thorp, the Carlisle Indian ath

lete; Meredith, the schoolboy runner; Reidpath, the record breaker and others who were not touted as exceptional, showed up as marvels. The program for today consisted of equestrian contests and swimming, but attracted little attention. BASEBALL RESULTS NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Wildly delirious, due to the intense

suffering" from burns about his body, received in the accident on the j Twelfth .street crossing last Wednesday night.vElmer Fodrea, aged twentythree, died i at the Reid Memorial hospital about 1 9 o'clock last evening. Although he was not unconscious at any time, since the accident in which he was horribly scalded, Fodrea was delirious a -great part of the time and died while (suffering from a mental aberration. Fodrea was employed as firtman on Pennsylvania passenger train No. 40, knownvas the Chicago train. The train arrived in this city at 11:40 o'clock Wednesday night i and the engine was detached in order to go to the Twelfth street crossing after a supply of water. An engine from a freight train which was detached at the Sixth street crossing had been to the Twelfth street crossing for water and was backing ton the same track as the passenger engine. The two engines collided. Engineer James Gibson of the passenger engine was thrown from the cab. breaking his right leg and Fireman Fodrea was pinned beneath the cab. The hot vapor from a bursted steam pipe scalded Fodrea's body fearfully and as soon as he was released from his position he was taken to the hospital. The unfortunate man was burned about his chest and back so badly that thefle8h dropped from his body while he was being removed to the hospital. Fodrea had been boarding at 400 North Ninth street, although his home is in Farmland, Indiana. The body was taken to Farmland this morning. The funeral will be held tomorrow. Street Stories Police Chief Gormon has a long standing rule that all patrolmen must keep their clothes brushed and their shoes shined. But he also dislikes to see anyone with their shoes unbrushed. Two court reporters stalked into police headquarters this morning. Their shoes were unshined and the police chief was quick to notice it. "Here you two take this dime and get your shoes shined," he bellowed, "and don't come back until your own visage is reflected in your 'kicks.' FACING A FURTHER ORDEAL IN COURT (National News Association) CHICAGO, July 17. Mrs. Rena B. Morrow today faced a further ordeal in the witness chair in Judge Kersten's court, where she is on trial for the murder of her husband, Charles B. Morrow. Mrs. Morrow began her own story of the events that led up to the death of her husband late Tuesday af-t ternoon. It was expected it would require the entire day to complete the cross examination. "Did you kill your husband," asked Attorney Erbstein. "I dod not," Mrs. Morrow replied. "Did you ever pull the trigger of a revolver in your life?" "Never." This denial is the foundation of the evidence the states attorney will attempt to overthrow on cross examina tion. WALDO JUST FORGOT Where He Left His Nag and Calls on Police. The evening was cool and Waldo Weatherby just thought he would drive to town. He hitched his broncho on North Seventh street, and Btepped into a saloon. Some time afterward Waldo began to search for his horse, going to South Sixth street, where he said he thought he left the animal. The horse could not be found, so Weatherby went to police headquarters where he complained to the police that some on had stolen his broncho. He gave the police a fair description of the horse and it was found on North Seventh after a patrolman had spent about an hour searching for the animal. "Oh that's right I remember now that's just where I left it," was Weatherby's statement to the patrolman as he jumped into the wagon and drove away. Facts About Animal Structure. The complexity of animal structure is marvelous. A caterpillar contains more than 2,000 muscles. In a human body are some 2.000,000 perspiration glands, corcmunicatlng with the surface by ducts, having a total length of some ten ntiles, while that of the arteries, veins and capillaries must be very great. The blood contains millions of corpuscles, each a structure in Itself. The rods in the retina, which are Opp&ed to be the ultimate recipients of light, are estimated at 30.iOO.OOO, and Meinert has calculated that the gray matter of the brain is built of at least COO.OOO.OOO cells.

Some misguided men In the United States have the Idea that their wives boss their incomes, salaries or wagesdifferent words to use in proportion to the amount they receive. This money they receive in bills or coin. The per- j son legally responsible for it Is the sec retary of the treasury of the United States, who is charged with making all of Uncle Sam's money. But, getting down to real facts, it is somebody else who bosses all our money Miss Margaret V. Kelly. Uncle Sam's highest paid woman officialShe gets $3,000 a year. She is assistant director of the mint. Actually the secretary of the treasury has little to do with our coin. Miss Kelly attends to that. There are bnt four persons between her and the secretary of tba treasury, and In their absence she runs things. Miss Kelly is a native of New Hampshire, a product of Boston educational institutions and an example of how hard work, when one lacks political pull, will bring sure advancement In the great civil service legion that keeps in motion the intricate machinery of the federal government. As assistant director of the mint Miss Kelly holds such a high official position in the treasury department that it can be trnly said that there has never been her equal in the service. Fifteen years ago. fresh from the Boston schools. Miss Kelly tackled a civil service examination. She passed and fourteen years ago entered the service of the mint bureaa as a stenographer. Since that time she has been successively private secretary to the director, adjuster of accounts, examiner, assistant director, and now, when the director is absent from Washington, she signs herself acting director. Dainty Afghans. Fascinating dainty afghans for tba baby's carriage are of white handkerchief linen. First a strip of the material Is cut into three-quarters wide by one and a half yards long proportions; then a half yard of the length is turned back from what is to be the upper end of the spread. This turnover Is daintily embroidered In white and trimmed at either end with huge bows of pink or blue satin ribbon. The lower end is rather more closely hand embroidered, and finally the entire afrhan. Including the folded over edge, is bordered with wide cluny. Macrame lace makes a substantial and most effective afgban. of appearance similar to those of handkerchief linen, but Instead of folding over the top of a yard and a half long strip of the macrame all over, the apparent turnback veils coarse, nnbleacbed net, and to this is attached the under section, after which the macrame edging Is flatly sewed apon the sides of the entire spread.

merman, the city attorney, A. M. Cardner has been making an investigation of the state statutes in regard to the

proposed erection of a municipal Ice plant. Mr. Gardner stated today. In connection with this matter, that it would be a difficult matter for the city to install a plant because there is no specification In the city charter or the state statutes In regard to this matter. However, the city attorney stated that there have been cases where an ice plant has been installed by a city and the ice sold under the term "frozen water." The most recent case of this nature was that of a city In Georgia. Suit was brought and the case was appealed to the highest court' where it was held that the city could install a plant, because of the hot cli mate and that such a plant was auUior ized because of the benefit to public health. Talking about this matter the mayor stated today that the matter would be thoroughly Investigated and then the wealthy local woman, whose name is withheld by the mayor, and who, he says, declared she would assist In backing the plant financially, will be conferred with. IN POLICE COURT "Willie" Jones, the negro who was hauled to the city building yesterday morning "dead drunk" pleaded guilty to the charge of public intoxication in police court this morning and was fined $1 and costs. He was arrested on the top of the river bluff at State street by Patrolman Lawler. Because it was his second offense Frank Selby, who was arrested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Vogeleong was fined $5 and costs on the charge of drunk. The case of the state versus Ollie Rutlege, negro, charged with drunk., was postponed until tomorrow morning. Rutlege, pleading not guilty. D. R. Elliott, charged with defrauding a restaurant keeper, out of a board bill was arrested last night by Patrolman Edwards. A friend of Elmer interceded in the latter's behalf, saying that he would pay the bill, which amounted to $10 in case Elmer was released. It Is likely that unless prosecution is urged by the prosecuting witness, the charge will be dismissed. AN ARCTIC DELICACY. Eskimo Soup Would Hardly Tickla Rfinod Palatos. Kane and Dr. Hayes, the first white men apart from an occasional whaler to visit the Eskimos, found some difficulty in accommodating themselves to local customs. In "The Toll of the Arctic Seas D. M. Edwards quotes Hayes account of his first visit to a native hut. After a cordial welcome he was pressed to eat. "This." says Hayes, "was an invitation which I feared, but now that it had come I knew that it would be unwise to decline it. The expression of thanks was one of the few in their language that I knew, and I made the most of this. They laughed heartily when I said koyenak in reply to their. Invitation, and immediately a not very beautiful young damsel poured some of the contents of the pots into a skin dish, and, after sipping it to make sure, as I supposed, that it was not; too hot, passed it to me over a group, of beads. At first my courage forsook! me, but all eyes were fixed upon me, and it would have been highly impolite to shrink. I therefore shut my eyes, held my nose, swallowed the dose and retired.
