police prevented a riot here today by
semi martial law. The soldiers of the
twehty- colonial regiment were
forced TO remain in their barracks as
result of recent ARRAYS.
The civilians openly threatened the
the military and surrounded the bar
racll~ where the soldiers were confined.
Just as the mob crowded close to the
walls the soldiers rushed TO the win
dows above and hurled down stones
and beams that they had torn from
the partitions of the structure within.
Many Are Injured.
Many were hurt and a scene of wild
excitement followed. The police had
anticipated trouble and rushed into the
square in large numbers occupying
it in military fashion, driving out the
citizens after the wounded had been
carried away and practically holding
the imprisoned soldiers in a state Of
siege. The trouble is said to have de-
veloped from ill-feeling engenderd at
the time of the wine growers strike

AsHEVILLE, N. c.. July 25-It looks
like a physical clash between the
Federal authorities and the North
Carolina State officials. The situa-
ton is more. serious, than since the
railroad suits ibegan. Glenn's refusal
to consider Assistant United States
Attorney General Sanford's PROPOSE
ton, supposedly direct. from President
Roosevelt means that the State judi
ciary is going brislSly forward with
the indictmentl Of Southern Railway
officials for the violation of the State
law. This law has already been de-
cIared unconstitutional by Federal
Judge Pritchard. who has also threat
ened contempt proceedings against
any State officer who violates his
order.
Glenn Will Not Surrender.
Governor Glenn stlI says point
blank that he VIII not surrender to
the Federal Judge and without maxi
ing any further statement relative to
his plans for resisting the latter has
by no means withdrawn his announce
ment that he win call out the militia
II Judge Pritcharde attempts to use
force
Evidently in anticipation of an early
start on the contempt proceedings
threatened by the Federal government
against the State authorities. United
States District Attorney Holton ar
rived here to-day and, held conferences
with the local state Judges. So far
as known he made moi tthreats, but his
attitude was unmistakable. Immedi-
ately following his arrival the South
ern Railway officials called another
conference. There is no hope, how
ever. that they will recede from their
position.
Urged A Compromise.
The compromise United States AS
sistant Attorney-General Sanford en-
deavored to induce the State authori-
ties to accept provides for prepara-
tion of the railroads injunction suit
against the State and a final submis-
sion Of the entire controversy to the

Notwithstanding the fact that neither

Of Justice are in sympathy with the
judges assumption Of jurisdiction before
the state courts have had an oppor-

the President sent Sanford ito the scene
of trouble. Department of Justice Of
fciais here are hopeful that to-day's
conference will result in some sort Of
