HELD FOR MURDER
ILLINOIS FAMILY CHARGED WITH
DEATH OF DAUGHTER.
Jacob Diemer, Wife and Another
Daughter Released on $4,000
Bond-Body Found in River.

Bloomington, H., Nov. 16.-J. C.
Diemer and his wife and their daugh-
ter Magdalene were released under
$4,000 bonds each to appear before
the grand jury at Pontiac in connec-
ton with the death of the daughter,
Christine, who was found in Vermil-
lion river November 8, charged with
manslaughter.
The states case split upon the rock
of medical opinion. Directly contra
dictory declarations by two of the doc
tors who performed the autopsy when
the body of the Diemer girl was taken
from the Vermillion river on Noyem-
Der 8, swung the opinion of all Liv-
ingston county from an apparent be-
lief of the guilt of the parents and
sister of the dead girl to the posi-
bility that she died accidentally or
committed suicide.
DR.. A. B. Middleton, called by Cor
oner w. o. Myers, adheres to the orig
inal theory of murder, and, in addition.
expresses public opinion that the
aged father of the girl is alone respon-
sible for her death. DR.. j. A. Mar
shall, former physician at the state
reformatory and family doctory to the
Diemers for years, insists, on the
other hand, that Christine died a sui
eide.
Pontiac, H., Nov. 16.-Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Diemer and their daughter, Mag
dalena, are held under $4,000 bonds
each following the finding of the body
of another daughter, Christine, in the
Vermillion river here. The girls neck
was broken and the skull was frac-
tured. There was no water In her
lungs.
Dlemer, venerable man of seventy
two, is wealthy and prominent He is
a retired farmer and owns much land.

TO FIGHT new LAW
Rail Official Says They Won't
Shift Responsibility.
MORE SUITS ARE FILED
Kansas City Man to Aid Assistant At.
torney General in Battle Against
Carriers on Adamson
Act

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Every railroad in
the country will fight the Adamson
eight-hour law and await an interpre-
tation of its meaning, If it is found
constitutional, according to a promi-
nent Chicago railroad man. The Off,
cial made this statement following the
filing of new suits attacking the con-
stitutionality of the law and asking in
functions to prevent its enforcement.
The Chicago & Alton railroad filed a
suit in Chicago yesterday, while the
Pennsylvania railroad began similar
action in the federal court at Philadel-
phia and the New York Central began
action in New York.
"We all go along together" the rail-
road official said. Zone roads case
may be called first, but it will be the
case of no designated road. To sug-
gest that some one railroad will lead
the court attack on the Adamson law
is to indicate that that road is par
ticularly antagonistic to the labor or
CARNATIONS, which Is unfair and would
put it in a bad light. / have heard of
no roads that will comply with the re-
quirements of the law without waiting
for the constitutionality test. So far
as know, every road intends to fight
the so-called 'eight-hour' law"
Other Suits Now Pending.
Other suits directed against the
Adamson law and awaiting hearing are
those of the following roads:
