Companys west-bound limited car, at 2:50
o'clock this afternoon, side-swiped the east
bound car at Daleville, overturning the lat
ter car and injuring about twenty-five per-
sons.
No fatalities are expected. The east
bound car had taken the siding for the
west-bound car to pass. but was not in the
clear. The west-bound car struck IL at the
rate of thirty miles an hour. A telephone
pole prevented the east-bound car from be-
ing hurled over, allowing it to sink gradual
ly which probably saved loss of life. The
cars were not badly damaged.
The most seriously injured was Joe Mar
tin. motorman on the west-bound car, who
had his left arm broken at the elbow. His
conductor was Ollie Snougrass.
On the east-bound car the conductor was
Ora Johnson and the motorman Dan
Hawell. All live in Muncie. NJ. w. Nichol-
son, OF Nicholsonville, Pa, suffered a COM
pound fracture of the nose. Mrs Ida Da-
wilson. who has been suffering with nervous
prostration, is in q serious condition a
result of the shaking up which she re-
ceived. Her case is the only one which
may prove fatal. Motorman Martin of the
west-bound car, says he was unable to stop
his car when he saw that the other one was
not clear of the track.

DEFENSE MAY BEGIN ITS

Sensation Expected in Schafer
Murder Trial When McDon-

MAY DECIDE OWN FATE
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BEDFORD, Ind, May Pit was learned
to-day that the state will expect to get
through with its evidence tomorrow in
the Schafer murder case. The opening
statement by the defense will be made Mon
day Afternoon or by Tuesday, and il is ex-
pected the evidence for the defense will
occupy two or three days. The most inn
portant witness and the one around whom
the greatest interest centers is Mcdonald,
who, il is believed. will be put the
stand in his own behalf. 1t is the general
opinion of those who have paid close at
tention to the case that on his testimony rests
the verdict of the jury. While it is not con-
sdered that the estate has made a very
strong case up to Saturday, when court
adjourned, a good many persons who are
disposed to believe Mcdonald guilty think
he will himself make the best witness for
the state.

FEDERATION OF MINERS
TO MEET At DENVER
President Meyer and Secretary
Haywood Will Likely Be Re-
Elected to Office.

DENVER. Col, May 22.-The annual con-
vention of the Western Federation of Min
ers. which probably will be the most i'm
portant gathering held by the organi-
cation. will open here tomorrow. Over 80
delegates from Kansas, Minnesota. Michi-
gan and Alabama, as we'll from the
Western States, will attend.
In the absence of President Meyer, who is
detained by the military in Telluride. Vice
President ]. c. Williams will preside. Per-
haps the most important matter TO be dis
cussed will be the question of meetings of
local unions affiliated with the federation.
While miners striking for an eigh-
hour Gay the federation will make another
determined effort 10 have the eight-hour
law passed at the coming legislative ses-
sions 1t appears to be the sense OF the
miners that they shall not place any tick
cts of their own in the field but '.go down
the line" for the party which they believe
best favors them.
IL Is believed that President Meyer. Sec
rotary Haywood and the executive board,
with possibly one or two changes. will be
reelected.
Another matter of great Importance will
be the discussion of utilization with the
American Federation of Labor.
