MONON STRIKE IS QUICKLY ENDED

Machinists and Shop Forces Refuse to Work Saturday After Asking Foreman's Discharge.

The Monon railroad faced a strike situation Saturday When 600 men walked from the company’s shops at Lafayette because Master Mechanic M. R. Smith refused to discharge John McDermott, an assistant foreman in the round house. The workmen claimed McDermott, who came to the Monon road a month ago, is unfair to organized labor. For a time the situation looked serious and with the shop forces out and all machinery idle it appeared 5 as if the operation of trains would be interfered with. Later in the day, however, it was announced that McDermott 'had resigned and the men said they would return to work. Since McDermott came to the Monon the Machinist Union, official publication, has been looking up his record and it is claimed he was a strike breaker in the strike on the Southern railroad in 1901, the L. & N. strike in 1907, and the Illinois strike in 1913.

Monday Evening Sermon at The Presbyterian Church.

The text for the sermon Monday evening by Rev. A. W. Hoffman was the 10th verse of 111 Corinthians, chapter 1. “According to the grace of God, which was given unto ma as a wise master builder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon.” With this statement of Paul the speaker • developed the theme the building of character, comparing the character to an edifice; and as some buildings indicate strength and beauty by their appearanca and others suggest everything that is undesirable within,, so with characters; there are . those whom we meet whose lives show beauty, nobility of purpose and cleaness of thought, while others display weakness, lack of purpose and inward uncleanpess. When) one intends building a house he first studies plan books compiled by authoratative architecta; so with the building of character. We have a plan by the highest authority, the Bibla which has stood the test of time, and those who have followed it have never been disappointed or found a better.

In the building of Solomon’s temple, which has been an example through the ages of beauty, * God gave the details of the plans to the builders and as these directions were followed there arose a building of magnificent beauty, Which has been the world’s example of perfection of architecture ever since; so with the life which follows the plan which God has revealed, if followed, a life of extraordinary beauty is the result. The speaker mentioned having heard in the home of a friend, the Vlctrola record on Immortality by Wm. Jennings Bryan, and how the very yoice of the speaker seemed to make its appeal to him, saying just as does the record 'left by God in His sacred word indicate clearly, to all who will heed, His divine plan for our lives. / The reason for the faihire of many lives is lack of a plan on the part of the individual. The life that God had intended as a noble edifice often becomes a “tumbling shanty”, for no effort is made to have it conform to the plan which the "Divine Architect” had Intended. Another very apt illustration of the same principle was given of the scrub oak, a stunted plant which has every indication of having been intended to grow to a great height and withstand all the storms and have great branches for the protection and happiness Of others, but which has not realised its own possibilities and is satisfied «s an ugly and gnarled specimen when it might have been a thing of grandeur and helpfulness. Necessary as is a plan when building it is not all; there is also a foundation. If the building is to idand the test of time it must have a solid foundation. The larger and higher the building the more necessary that the foundation shall be built on solid rock. In the building of Christian character Christ is the rock of our salvation. Then on this foundation we should build the superstructure of love to,our felMw men. For love Js the only External material; love never faileth; but whether there be tongues they shall cease; whether there be knowledge it shall be done away. We can not build a beautiful or enduring character with hatred afid malice in our hearts; we must have a love for , our follow men at described by JPaul, a love that “suffereth long and is I kind, envleth ndt, vaunteth -not

Fort Wayne is Second City In Population in Indiana.

The government census bureau has made an estimate of the population of the larger Indiana cities and Fort Wayne Is next to Indianapolis, with an estimated. liopulation of 72,322; Evansville is placed at 71,284, South Bend at 65,114 and Terre Haute at 63,529.

itself is not puffed up, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, "but rejoiceth in trut;h; believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Then we must give expression to our love in service. A closing illustration of this truth was given of a mission building in China, where on account of a lack of funds there was no roof on the building and the rains, sun and frosts soon destroyed its usefulness. , The speaker made a plea to all who had not given thought to the plan of their lives to consider the divine plan and make a wise choice and build for nobility of character as the Divine Architect had intended and desires.

the United States having undertaken the solution of the Mexican problem can not honorably retreat at this time and should arbitration or mediation be adopted it will result only ii> humiliation for this country and not solve the Mexican •troubles in any. way. If a stable government in Mexico is to be secured, it can only bedone by removing the troublesome revolutionary leaders: and establishing a- protectorate that will guarantee to those who want to establish homes the right to do so and the power must be strong enough to deal summarily with the bandit type of leaders who-have devastated the country. United States troops under General Fred Funston have entered the port at Vera Cruz, where they are held under orders. The feeling at Mexico City is said to be improved and that many of the natives have plainly shown their sympathy tor Americans and against the dictator. Huerta is said to fear assassination and his fear for personal safety is behind his acceptance.of mediation.

(Special to The Republican.) Valparaiso, Ind, April 28, 1914. At the Tenth District convention held here today, State Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette was unanimously nominated by .Republicans as their candidate for Congress. Will O. Thomas, of Monticello, withdrew from the race after reaching here and learning that the delgates were so largely for Wood. • A special train from Lafayette brought 150 delegates and boosters, largely wearing Wood ribbons, a bright red badge with the word “Wood” in large typa The Wood sentiment was strong in the delegates from Tippecanoe Warren, Benton, Lake Newton and Porter, being practically unanimous for him. White and Jasper counties would have supported Thomas, although Senator Wood was the choice of many of the delegates. Senator Wood delivered a ringing speech that was indicative of the spirited campaign he will wage for election. It is said to have been one of the best conventions held In this district for many years, and great enthusiasm was shown, success being predicted for the republican party in the election this fall. Senator Wood has been making a quiet, but effective, campaign.

He is "a popular man in every part of the district. The quiet manner in which he has conducted his campaign has avoided making enemies and he has been gaining strength every day since he entered the race.

HOEHN, THE BUTCHER, ACQUITTED OF ASSAULT

Wheatfield Man, Who Gained Re-'" cent Notoriety, Freed by Jury—Rearrested.

The case of State of Indiana vs. George J. Hoehn, Jr, was heard before a jury on Monday. The charge was assault and battery, upon Henry Filmer, of Wheatfield. This is the case that was given wide publicity in the newspapers a few weeks ago. Mr. Hoehn is a butcher and groceryman at Wheatfield and the evidence developed that Mr. Hoehn came into Anderson's saloon on Feb. 25th and asked the bartender, Mr. Filmer, who is also the marshal of Wheatfield, for the keys to the jail in order that he might put a drunk man in the jail. Mr. Filmer ordered Hoehn out of the saloon, Hoehn being on the black list and not permitted to drink in the saloon. Hoehn left the place and went to the jail, broke open the door and put the drunk in and then came back to the saloon and * notified the marshal that the prisoner was In the jail and under the charge of the marshal. The proprietor of the saloon, Jamies Anderson, came Into the saloon at this juncture and ordered Hoehn out. Hoehn refused to go, saying that he was there on business and that as soon as he found out whether Filmer was the marshal or the bartender he would then go out in peace Anderson began to push Hoehn toward the door and Filmer then came from behind the bar and while Hoehn was in a leaning position Filmer struck Hoehn over the head with a ehib, knocking him to the floor. Filmer then attempted to grab Hoehn by the throat and in the attempt got one of this fingers- in Hoehn’s mouth and Hoehn bit It quite severely. Hoehn then got up and sat down on some beer cases. Anderson again tackled him and with the aid of several others he was dragged to the door and put out. Hoehn then defied the whole town to take him to jail and the marshal ordered bystanders to help. Albert Keen got a rope and as he testified, they “hog tied’’ him and dragged him to the jail, where Hoehn then proceeded to smash things up, breaking the bars out of the window and doing other damage to the lock-up. Filmer then charged Hoehn with an assault and battery and the justice bound Hoehn over to the circuit court. The testimony fully developed the fact that Hoehn committed no assault and that the only assault committed was by the marshal upon the defendant. There were a large number of witnesses, present, and after the testimony had all been introduced on both sides, the state knowing that It had failed to moke a casa dismissed and filed a new affidavit against Hoehn, charging him with Intoxication, to which Hoehn pleaded not guilty and gave bond for 'hie appearance at the September term of court. The state was represented by D. D. Dean and W. H. Parkinson and the defense by Roy Blua John Greve and George Williams.
