CLASHES WITH. GOVERNMENT.
National Troops May Be Called To
Settle Georgia Trouble.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 28. Lawyers
and judges of the stato are intensely
interested is the seriouo clash now on
between the state and the Federal ao
boritiea in toe ease of Charles E. Steg
gall, in Jail at Trenton, Ga., for con
tempt of court by order of Judge A.
W. Fits, of tba Dade county Superior
court. Steggell refused to testify be
fore the grand jury In reference to an
alleged distillery.
Over, Sieggal), tha bitterest legal
flght In the history of the stato has
been precipitated, with both sides con
fident and standing pat.
Should the State court persist In Its
attitude of defiance to the mandate of
the Federal court, the chances ara that
most interesting developments will
com to pass this week, which will re
sult In the arrest of several other offi
cials. It Is believed hare that the Fed
eral court will carry Its point, even if
obliged to make a direct appeal to the
United States government to enforce
its orders. Therefore, in too settle
ment of this dispute, national troops
may have to be used -
The acute situation lb Dads county
arose over an effort to secure evidence
in an alleged blind-tiger caee. The
people of Dad county, near Rising
Fawn, have believed a distillery bss
been located in that neighborhood for
some time, and that It baa paid tb
government license to secure immunity
from Federal raids. In order to get
tba necessary evidence, tba grand jury
summoned before that body Charier.
Steggall, storekeeper and government
gauge r. Steggall then aommunieatod
with the collector of internal revenue,
H. A. Backer, asking him what he
should do In the matter.
Rucker wired him that under the
government rule, bo would have to
keep quiet. ' This Is tba outcome of
government statute, under tb revieed
laws, by which government employes
are liable to loss of position, fine and
Imprisonment, if they divulge informa
tion secured In their official capacity.
Steggall promptly informed the
grand jury that he could not answer the
questions put to him, and gavs tha gov
ernment rulee as bis reason. Bis re
fusal brought the matter to the atten
tion of Judge Fits, who ordered bim to
answer. Three times ha was sent for,
and thro time refused to answer, and
then be was sent to jail.
He mode appeal to tb Federal au
thorities In Atlanta for protection, Aa
tha government cannot afford to allow
its employes to bo kept In prison for
obedience to government rales, the
Federal officials determined to stand
by Steggall.
Before they could take action, how
ever, Judge Fit held that Rucker bad
Interferred with the conduct of bia
court by ordering Steggall not to

Butte, Moot, Sept 86. Every mine
in Butte Is shot down tonight and 10,
000 men are idls, with the prospect of
6,000 moro being thrown oat of work.
If tb suspension continue for five
days the smelters sod other allied to-
dustriss will be forced to sua pond.
The trouble was caused by a majori
ty of Engineers' Union No. 88 having
seceded from tha Western Federation
of Miners and organised a new union.
The Butte Miners' union ordered its
members not to go to work in mines
employing members of tha new engin
eers' onion.
The evening was ushered In with
great excitement, when nearly 8,000
miners surrounded the shaft of the
Gagnon mine, apparently for the pur
pose of mobbing 28 minors who defied
the eobHnand of tba union to stop work.
A detail of 16 policemen with Captain
Thomas Norton in command hurried to
the scene, and reinforced by Sheriff
John K. O'Bourks, with svary deputy
of his office at his back, succeeded In
reaching, tba haft mouth.

smelters throughout tha state may bo
