Shooting down the Twentieth street hill at terrific speed yester day afternoon, a Long View car seemed doomed to leave the rails ai the curve at the foot of the hili and crash into the curbing. The; brakes refused to do their work. There were 12 people in the ear who expected to he covered up in a mass of wreckage any moment. When the car made the turn at the top of Twentieth street, the brakes were set hut the wheels started to slide on the rails. Just as the motor-man threw on the revers-j the trolley flew off and the car j'imped forward like a human thing.

5Kn FROM PF.tTH. Within a few seconds it had obtain- ed a fearful momentum and thundered down the hill. The car rocked from side to and it was with great difficulty that the conductor, leaning out of the hack window was able to get the trol- ley on. The motorman immediately threw on the reverse and sanded the tracks. With great clouds of smoke arising from the hot wheels, the car; was gotten under control near Twelfth avenue and the danger was averted.

Chicago, Oct.

Funk, are but figurehead in a plot to besmirch the character of the International Harvester company manager was unearthed yesterday by detectives in the latter's employ. Both Mr.

Funk and E. A. Bancroft, his attorney, charge that the $25,000 suit Is an aftermath of Mr. Funk's testimony before the Lorimer investigating committee. For months, they say, they have had knowledge of a conspiracy to ruin Mr.

Funk's good name be- cause he testified that Edward Hines learned that since the "Washington epi-had solicited $10,000 from the harves- eode the committee has been in full ter company to be contributed toward possession of facts relating to work of Mr. Lorimer's campaign fund. FOLLOWED BY" DETECTIVE. Since it became known that he was to testify concerning the alleged conversation with Mr. Hines, Mr.

Funk says he has been under constant espionage by private detectives. These detectives not only hounded his wife and members of his family, business asso ciates and neighbors, but they have of fered bribes of from S.oo to to newspaper reporters if they could "get evidence of Funk's relations with women that would show him tip, "according to Mr. Funk. Two months ago. he says, a woman, supposed to be a 'female decoy," at- tempted to hold a "private conversation" with him and, failing to make an appointment with him, called at his i office, where, unknown to her, the con versation was taken down by a stenographer.

The "Henninz" woman's name has been mentioned by the detectives who have been trying to "get the goods" on him. according to Mr. Funk's friends, and also the names of "Dorothy Brue- i ner" and three other women, among the latter being a 15-year-old west side girl. HA )V DETECTIVES. Following the incident in Washing ton, when he had several of the detec-1 tives "shadowing" him taken before the senatorial committee, Mr.

Fnnk in turn put detectives to work, and they have kept him informed as to the pro-p gress of the plot. "In proof that the alienation suit la a plot engineered by the Lorimer interests, I have but to cite the fact that knowledge that the suit was to be filed was known to the Lorimer crowd on Friday, the day before it was filed," Mr. Funk said yesterday. "I have not been asleep in this matter. I have i known for -some time that I was to be i pictured as a home-wrecker and a man of the lowest type.

I have always been iable to take care of myself in the past, land in view of the fact that I have known right along what sort of a crew 1 1 was up against and was forewarned of their plans, I guess I will be able to get along." REITERATES DEMA1.S. Mr. Funk stood in front of his home in Oak Park with his wife and two children as he spoke. He had attended the First Congregational church in the morning, where he is a member and teacher of a Sunday school class, and was planning to take a pleasure SOCIETY MAN AFTER HONORS IN POLITICS Fashionable friends of Robert Llvintstone Beeckman. of Newport, have nominated him for state Senator.

While the "Mr. and Mrs. John Henning" who are staying at a hotel in Mobile, admit that they are the parties named in the suit, they refused to discuss their antecedents or give de-fails of the aileeed alienation which "Hennine" claims.

"Mr. and Mrs. Henning" have spent money lavishly since going to Mobile a week ago, according to dispatches. "Henning" is said to have preceded his wife to the s-oiithern city. Whn asked for particulars concerning the suit he said to "talk to his lawjer." The woman joined in his refusal to talk.

Mr. Hennings is described in the- dispatches as being about oS years old, tall and slender, with a decided droop i to his left shoulder. His complexion is sallow, his hair dark and he has a decided dyspeptic appearance. Mrs. Henning is a decided blonde, about 2.T years old, and slightly over five feet in height.

The fallibility of expert testimony, which under stress of clever cross examination tends to the too decided statement, is amusingly revealed In "Science and the Criminal," a book by O. Ainsworth Mitchell, the head of the Inspection bureau of Scotland Yard. Nethercliffe, who was the chief handwriting expert in the days when the witty Lord Brampton was at the bar, had such faith in his methods that finally he came to believe that he could not make a miKtake. In a case In which he was tinder cross examination by Lord Brampton, then Mr. Hawkins, Nethercliffe had claimed that his system gave Infallible results and had further stated that his son, whom he had trained, made use of the same system.

"Then," said the wily advocate, "your son, working on your system. Is as good as yon are?" "Yee," replied, the father, with some pride In bis voice, be is." "That Is to say, he, too, Is Infallible 7" "Yes," again repBed the witness. "Well, now, Mr. Nethercliffe, was there ever a case In which you and yoor son appeared on opposite sides?" Nethercliffe tried to evade the question, which, he complained, was an nnfair one, bnt on being pressed was forced to admit that on a certain occasion be had given evidence on one side and his son npon the other. Swift came the unanswerable retort: "How comes It, then, that two infallible appeared on opposite sides?" Rheumatism Cured In Three Days.
