That Diggs will take tho stand pre pared to tell everything and that if pressed too hard, he may attempt to shift some of Ihe responsibility for the downfall of Miss Marsha Warrington to prominent Sacramento men, is a report in circulation at the federal building horn today. Whether such a threatened revelation would be allowed by Judge Van Fleet is questioned. I'iggs' whole story, it is understood, will tend to show that the two young men ilid not take tho girl to Bene for i 1 1 1 tu o in 1 purposes, but were driven to leave by threats of exposure. I'iggs, Caininetti and several friends last night attended a local theatre and there saw moving pictures of the triul scenes. I'iggs wus highly incensed and declared it was au outrage.

When tho Newlnnds act was passed by congress, it was hoped that a meth od had been found for tho peaceful so lution of industrial conflicts and the prompt action of the president, William Sproulo, of the Southern Pacific, in ap pealing to tho government temporarily reassured "the M.sop)e that they would not be mudo to suffer because of a dis pute to which they were entirely inno cent parties. It is to be hoped that Commissioner linger will succeed in bringing both to gether. Ily offering to mediate and ar bitrate, the railroad ha.s gone on record us recognizing that tho intentd of the public in transportation is greater thun that of either carrier or employer. Commenting on this subject last year, the board of arbitration on tho engin eer controversy in the east, said: "It is evident that for a great sec tion of tho United States a railroad strike can no longer bo considered as a mutter which primarily affects the rail road operators and employes. It does affect them and affects them seriously, but the public is fur more deeply con cerned. Indeed the interest of the public so far exceeds those of tho par ties to a controversy as to render the former pnnttnouiit.

Then visitors and Saleinites were culled upon for brief talks and an hour was spent profitably in the exchange of views as to the needs of the state. After the feast of reason and flow of ideas, there was a splendid lunch served and busi ness was still further discussed, and' ideas advanced, tallied over. Then lime cigars and all boarded the Indus so generously provided by Snlem ' wide awake citizens, and the visitors were taken out to the asylum and prison; then after a quick trip through the city out to Liberty und the prune district.
