Magazine Writer Who Crit
cized Canal is now Un-
der Examination.
is AN UNWILLING WITNESS
Refuses to Reveal What He Terms
"Confidences"- Morgan Declares
That Force viii be Invoked to Sc
cure All Facts Desired.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Poultney
Bigelow, the magazine writer, whose
arraignment of the administrator
and the management of the isthmiaL
canal affairs, in an article published
in the Independent, which was de
nounced by Secretary of War Taft
proved to be contumacious witness
before the senate committee on in
teroceanic canals yesterday, and in
volved the committee in a contro
troversy, which continued through
out two executive sessions, and mus
be considered again today before
action can be taken. The recalci
trancy of the witness was shown as
the result of a statement made BY
him that many eminent engineers
had declined to accept employment
of the government because of phys
ical conditions on the isthmus. The
committee demanded the names o.
such engineers, and Mr.. Bigelow de
clined to give them on the grounc
confidence and subject these per
sons to embarrassments. HE mu
mated that the displeasure of the
administration would be exhibited
in such manner that their "reputa
tons would be worth nothing aftei
the official replies should be con
cluded."
Two opportunities to answer were
given to Mr.. Bigelow, but he per
sisted in his refusals. Senator Nor
gan, who conducted the last examin
alton, warned the witness in such
manner as seemed to commit the
tinued to bring himself into con
tempt, but the advice was of no
avail, and the doors were closed fol-
second time.
In executive session it developed
that the committee was agreed that
the offense of Mr.. Bigelow was OF
such a nature that there could be
no doubt of the committees power
to have him dealt with summarily
Senators Knox, Hopkins and Morgan
favored a certification of his recalci
trancy to the vice president for ad
mission Of the case to United States
Attorney Baker for the District OF
Columbia.

WELLD|CCER FOUND CRYSTAL GLOBE
Big Bulb Of Stone, When Broken, Dis
charged Large Quantity of
Pure Water.

PENDLETON, Or, May 24.-While
digging a well on the farm of F. L.
Metz, fourteen miles southwest of this
city, William Coffman found a curious
deposit in the shape of crystal bulb,
Theoretically sealed and encased with
a two-inch shell of hard stone and
containing a large amount of pure
fresh water.
This bulb was encountered at a
depth of siXty-fivce feet and was about
two feet long by one foot in diameter,
and when broken open was found to
be filled with water, although the cas-
ing around the crystal bulb was solid
stone and appeared to have been seal
ed for centuries.
The cavity inside the bulb would
hold probably a gallon of water and
was lined with a beautiful crystal
formation from half an inch to an
inch in thickness The formation had
the appearance of a solid rock at first,
but when broken open disclosed the
cavity filled with fresh water. The
formation from all appearances had
been in process of development for
centuries.
