Stoggall rofused to testify bo foro tho grand jury toi reference to nn alleged distillery. Over Stoggall tho blttoroBt legal fight In tho history of tho stato has boon precipitated, with both sides con fident and standing pat. Should tho Stato court persist In Its nttltudo of doflanco to tho mandate of tho Federal court, tho chancos aro that most Interesting dovolopmonts will como to pass thla wook, which will re sult In the arrest of several other ofil clala. It la bollovcd here that tho Fed eral court will carry Its point, oven If obliged to mnko a direct uppeal to tho United StntoB government to enforco Its, orders. Therefore, In tho settle ment of this dlaputo, national troopB may havo to bo used. Tho acute situation In Dado county arose ovor an effort to secure ovldonco In on nlJogcd blind-tiger case. Tho people of Dndo county, near Rising Fawn, have bolloved a distillery has boon locnted In that neighborhood for somo timo, and that it has paid tho government licenso to socuro Immunity from Federal raids. In ordor to get tho nccossary ovldonco, tho grand jury summoned before that body Charles Stoggall, storekeeper and government gauger. Stoggall then communicated with tho collector of Internal rovenuo, II. A. Ruckor, OBklng him what ho should do In tho matter. Ruckor wired him that under tho government rules, ho would hnvo to keep quiet. This is tho outcomo of a government statute, under tho revised laws, by which government employes aro liable to loss of position, fine and imprfBonmont, If they divulge informa tion sjcurcd In tholr official cnpnclty. Stcggall promptly Informed the grand jury that ho could not answer tho queatlons put to him, andgavo tho gov ernment rules as his reason. His re fusal brought tho matter to tho atten tion of Judgo Flto, who ordered him to answer. Threo times ho wns Bent for, and threo times refused to answer, and then he was sent to jail. Ho mado appeal to'tho Federal au thorities in Atlanta for protection. As tho government cannot afford to allow Its ernployea to bo kopt in prison for obedience to government rulos, the Federal officials determined to stand by Steggall. Before they could take action, how over, Judge Fito held that Rucker had interferred with tho conduct of his court by ordering Stoggall not to speak, nnd so ho sont Sheriff Thurman, of Dado, to Atlanta, to serve summons on Rucker to appoar in his court. CANADA WANTS ASIATICS. Railroad Contractors Facing Serious Labor Famine. Ottawa, Out., Sept. 28. Tho Cana dian railways aro faco to face with a labor famine, and unless a plnn can be devised whorcby ABintic labor may be imported for construction work, much of their railroad building will have to bo abandoned.

BURNING LAKE STUDIED. Adventurous Spirits Go Into Crater o Active Volcano, Honolulu, Sept 27. L. M. Hale, J. Reynolds, and Earnest Moses, a photo grapher, descended today into the pit of the crater of Mount Kilaueau, re maining half an hour on the edge of a burning lake of lava andfire. This is the first timo that this feat has been accomplished. The members of the party ventured almost to the rim of tho seething lake and attempted to take photographs.

After completing their observations, they returned safely to tho rim of the crater, where half a dozen friends had witnessed the descent Kilaueau is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, on tho east slope of Maunaloa, Hawaii island.

Violent eruptions occurred in 1797, 1844 and 1866, and since the latter date there have been several outbreaks of less severity. ENGINEERS TO YIELD. Settlement of Miners' Differences in Butto in Sight. Butte, Mont,' Sept 27. Although no definite statements have yet been made by either side, it developed late tonight that thero is plausible prospect that the differences existing between the Brotherhood of Stationary Engin eers No. 1 and toe Butte Miners union may be settled, and the miners will re turn to their work at the various prop erties before tomorrow morning. It is known that certain overtures have been made to the engineers by the ofneers of the miners union, and it is quite probable the engineers will make certain concessions which will be ac- t.pteable to the miners. Whether the concessions will bo permanent and whether they will involve a return of the seceding engineers to the Western Federation of Miners, it was impossi ble to ascertain. The adjustment will be reached, it is believed, without bringing the mining companies into tne controversy, either aa arbitrators or because of their influ ence, and it is highly probable that there will bo nothing for Charles Moy er, president of the Weatorn Federation of Miners, to settle when he arrives.

Taft Visits Famous Copper Diggings at Butte. Helena, Mont, Sept 28. Attired in a linen duster, an old black slouch hat and swinging an electric lantern at his side, President Taft waa locked in a narrow iron cage and dropped 1,200 feet through midnight darkness into the depths of the famous old Leonard copper mine at Butte yesterday, and had the rare experience of seeing min ers at work with a giant drill in a vein of high grade ore that sparkled green with its wealth of mineral. When ho had ascended with a whiz after half an hour under ground, the president, blinking in the glare of the noonday sun, waa cheered to the echo by the crowd of curious people gathered at the hoist and declared enthusiastically : "I wouldn't have missed it for the world."

Not the least of these waa a thrilling automobile ride over the mountains from Butte to the mouth of the Leonard mine. SPANISH ROUT MOORS. Tribesmen, Driven to Dire Straits, Ask Terms of Surrender.
