TAKING PLACES OF SECTION MEN
IN THE UNION PACIFIC
YARDS HERE.
Regular Men Laid of and Yellow Men
Placed on the Work-Sad to Be
Because White Men Get Drunk
and Leave Their piaces-Railroad
Notes and Personals.

The section mel employed in the
railroad yards in this city have been
laid off and their places are being
filed by Japanese from the western
part of the Wyoming division. No
less that a score are now at work in
the yards. under the direction of the
section foreman and an interpreter.
The men are quartered in outfit cars
in the yards here.
1t was said in one quarter this after.
noon that the change was due to the
alleged fact that the regular men
could not be depended upon-that they
drank and absented themselves with
ou warning and that the company,
having the Japanese on hand. conclud-
ed that they could be kept at work
without fear of this trouble.
On the other hand, it was stated by
a local official that it was purely an
economic 10 on the part of the op-
Grating department of the road. as the
Japanese can be hired for less than
white men can be had. and that, en-
ploying them in lunches. the COM
pany furnishing them was responsible
for them rather than the railroad com
pany. Just how far the change will
extend was not made manifest this
afternoon. when reporters for this pa
per started an investigation.
1t was reported that an agent Of the
japanese government has been here
working among his counirrnen Sc
curing recruits for the Japanese army
in its war against the army Of Russia,
but that he had had cry i'll success
SO far, the mel preferring to remain
here. having been promised permanent
employment. When they were told.
it WAS stated, that the Japanese gov.
ernment could force their return, they
informed the agent of the government
that they were protected ny the COM
pany furnishing them to the railroad
company and that the Japanese gov
eminent could not interfere with them
n their determination to remain in
America anu continue their work for
the railroad company.
The presence of the Japanese in the
yards here has occasioned no end OF
talk among railroad men and others.

SLOWER MURDER TRIAL
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Little Time Taken Up Securing
Jury-MrS. Bittner Tells How
Slower Killed Her Husband.
PRISONER HER BROTHER
Special to the indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE trial
of Isaac Slower, charged with the murder
Of Edward Bittner at Lewisburg twenty-five
years ago. was begun in the Cass County
Circuit Court this morning before Judge
John 5. Larry The courtroom was crowd
ed with visitors, and much interest is being
manifested. The prosecuting witness, Mrs.
Harriet Bigger. sister of the accused man,
and wife of the latter's victim by former
marriage. shared the attention of the
crowd equally with her brother.
Little difficulty was found in impaneling a
jury, all but one of the regular panel for the
term having been found acceptable. The
men who hold in their hands the fate of
Isaac Slower are c. r. Byers, William
Lontz, jr., George Michael James Vernon,
II. Z. Ferguson, L. L. Miller Toney Kess-
Ter. William Wadkin, Ira Dodds, Henry
Fiscel, s. c. Olden and A. j. Cotner.
The first witness to testify was Mrs. Big
ger. Her testimony was practically a repe-
tition of that given at the preliminary.
stating that the prisoner was the aggressor
i'm the quarrel which resulted in the killing
of her husband. She stated that on March
8, 1879, while the prisoner, then nineteen
years of age, was a visitor at the Bittner
home at Lewisburg, the assault took place.
The State is represented by Prosecutor
Walters and b. +. Long, and the defense
by Arthur & Ashby and Mcconnell, Jenk-
ms Jenkins & Stuart. Owing to the adj
iournment of the court at noon to permit
the members of the bar to attend the
funeral of the late Judge John Mitchell at
Peru this afternoon, the case rested until
Tuesday.

QUEST FOR HIS DAUGHTER
OF TH|RTY-FIVE YEARS
Ended by Meeting of a Brown
County Man and the Child
He Had Never Seen.
TANGLED WEB OF LIFE

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NASHVILLE, Ind, Jan. 11.-After thirty
five years Robert Wesley Mathis, of Mis-
souri,, formerly of this place, has been
united here with daughter whom he had
never seen. Mathis was born in Ohio in
1926. and married several times before and
during the civil war, but his wives did not
live long in any case, and their children
died in infancy
Mathis served three years in the army,
and after his return married Mrs. Martha
Holtz. Soon after their marriage she OBJ
tanned a divorce and married a man named
Lee. Within a very short time a daughter
was born to her. said to be the child of
Mathis. The latter tried repeatedly TO Sc
cure possession of 1t, but was never able TO
see it, and after her infantile years were
passed the little girl was sent to Mrs. Lee s
relatives in Ohio, where Mathis was unable
to secure trace of it. Finding his efforts
futile he relnquished his quest for a time
and went to Missouri, where he embarked
in business, married again and reared three
sons. his wife dying after the birth of the
third.
From time to time he made trips TO Brown
county in search of his daughter but with
out avail. The Lees moved to Ohio, and
later. with the daughter of Mathis, went
to Illinois. Mathis learned of their Ohio
relatives and went there to seek them, but
could not find them.
The girl grew to womanhood and married
and moved to Missouri, living not far from
her fathers home at Springfield but
they never came In contact. Mathis con-
tnued his search, his eldest son joining in
the quest, but to no purpose.
A few months ago the Lees, both over
seventy years old, sold their Illinois farm
and returned to Brown county, where,
about a month ago, Lee died Some one
wrote TO Mathis of their return, and he
came East, arriving 2 few days after Lee s
death. He saw Mrs. Lee and demanded to
know his daughters whereabouts. She was
obdurate for time, but later gave him
the desired information. The daughter,
Mrs. Swift, had come here to attend the
funeral of Lee, whom she always had be-
lieved to be her father, but had returned
to her Missouri home. She was sent for
at once and came last week Before she
saw Mathis her mother told her the whole
story of her life and of Mathis's search
for her Mathis was then sent for, and a
happy meeting of the father and his thirty
five-year-old daughter, for the first time
in their lives, followed.
Mrs. Swift has returned to Missouri, but
soon as the Lee farm is sold Mathis and
Mrs Lee will go TO her home, where, it is
said, they will marry for the second time.

WAR ON AMONG WORKERS
IN THE GLASS INDUSTRY
Old Organization Threatens the
New, in Event that Wage
Reduction Is Accepted.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 1.-THE truce between
the rival window glass workers organiza-
tons is no more and hostilities are likely TO
be renewed as a result of meeting to-day
of the officers of the new organization and
manufacturers.
1t is said the workmen will accept a re-
duction of Is per cent If the concession is
necessary to enable some manufacturers to
start their factories. When the officers OF
the old organization learned Of this to-day,
the executive board met and served notice
on the officers of the new organization that
If a settlement was made at lower rate of
wages than was agreed on at Philadelphia
in November, the old association would ac-
cept a still lower reduction.
If this threat is carried out II will greatly
complicate the present unsettled condition
in the window glass trade.
When the meeting adjourned tonight none
of those present would divulge the proceed
ings further than to say that proposition of
some kind had been brought before the
meeting. and it was decided to put the mat
ter to q referendum vote. When the vote

special TO the indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
VINCENNES, Ind, Jan. 11.-Fire at Iona,
Knox county. tonight. destroyed the
United Brethren Church and Darwin
Palmer's store and residence with losses
respectively of 5000 and $3.50 The fire
broke out early in the evening. and was
fought with difficulty, but was put under
control about midnight.
A defective fue in the Palmer residence
caused the blaze. Palmer lost his all. in
Guiding a stock of merchandise and cash
and notes in the till. The organ and furni-
ture of the church were saved. 1t required
heroic efforts to save the large school build
ing which was slightly damaged. The fire
was fought by a bucket brigade, and a
crowd surrounds the ruins to guard against
another outbreak. The concerted action
OF farmers and villagers alone prevented
the whole town from being wiped out, for
the fire was famed by a strong breeze.
In the futile attempt TO save their belong
ings. Palmer and his aged mother, with
whom he lived, nearly died from suffocation
and had to be carried out of the house The
woman is I'm a serious condition, and with
her son, is being cared for by neighbors.
