Federal Employe viii Not Tell Of
Alleged Distillery.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 26.-Lawyers
and Judges of the state are intensely
Interested in the serious clash now
on between the state and the Fed
eral authorities in the case of Chas.
E. Steggall, a government gauger,
in Jail in Trenton, Ca, for contempt
of court by order of Judge A. w.
Fite, of the Dade County Superior
Court. Steggal, under instructions
from the Internal Revenue Collector,
refused to testify before the grand
jury in reference to an alleged dis
tillery.
Under the United States laws, Gov
eminent employees are liable to loss
of position, fine and Imprisonment
If they divulge information secured
in their official capacity.
Stegall has appealed to the Fed
eral authorities in Atlanta for pro-
lection. AS the Government cannot
afford to allow it's employees to be
kept in prison for obedience to Gov
eminent rules, the Federal officials
determined to stand by Steggall.

TO ASK CONGRESS
FOR $10,0OO,OOO
BOND ISSUE URGED TO AID
IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
FAv0RS ROOSEVELT IDEAS
Announces His Intention Of Applying
to Congress for Confirmatory
Legislation.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 2S.-In a
speech on the conservation of nat
ural resources, delivered here today,
President Taft declared that he
would ask Congress to authorize the
issuance of $10,O00.O00 in bonds to
complete irrigation projects already
begun in the West and on which
work has been stopped for lack of
funds. This has been the hope of
many settlers in the arid regions
who had taken up lands, anticipat-
Ing securing a supply of water to
make them fertile, and the Presi-
dents declaration was enthusiastic-
ally cheered.
Mr.. Taft broadly took the stand
that while the present Administra-
ton is pledged to follow out the pol
icies of Mr.. Roosevelt, such a pledge
does not involve him in any obliga-
ton to carry out these policies with
out Congressional authorization. The
President added, however, that he
would take every step and exert
every influence upon Congress to
enact legislation which shall best
subserve the purposes and require
ments of the situation.
Mr.. Taft declared today that Con-
gress did not intend that the Gov
eminent should undertake projects
which could not be currently paid
for out Of the proceeds of the sales
of public lands, but added that he
has been impressed during his visit
to the West of the necessity for i'm
mediate relief.
The President gave credit both
to Mr. Pinchot and to Mr.. Ballinger.
He referred to the wonderful work
of Mr.. Pinchot and said that while
that work had brought denunciation
at first it was now generally realized
that the reforms inaugurated by Mr..
Pinchot were not only necessary but
should have been begun ten years
ago.

WHITNEY CREDITS BOTH MEN
Says That Cook and Peary Both
Found North Pole.

St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 29.-Harry
Whitney believes both DR.. Cook and
Commander Peary found the North
Pole. In expressing this belief, Mr..
Whitney said he knows no reason
for doubling Cook more than Peary.
CDR. Cooks story" he said,
Seems to be truthful and probable.
Nothing else explains his IL months
absence"
Mr.. Whitney was questioned re-
garding the statements made to him
by DR.. Cook in Greenland. He said
Cook arrived at Annotook in April
of this year and declared that he had
reached the North Pole year be-
fore. He pledged Whitney, however,
not to tell Commander Peary, who
was to be informed only that Cook
had gone farther north than Peary's
record, 81 degrees, 6 minutes.

Hopes Pinchot Will Not Resign.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 26.-As re-
suit of several long conferences with
the Chief Forester, Clifford Pinchot,
President Taft caused to be issued
statement, in which it is declared
that never at any time during the
Ballinger-Pinchot controversy has
the President intended to reflect up
on Pinchot.
Mr.. Pinchot, before leaving for
Washington, also issued a statement,
in which he makes public a portion
of President Taft's letter, written to
the Chief Forester at the time the
letter to Secretary Ballinger was die
tated. The President said he hoped
Mr.. Pinchot would not find reason
in the Ballinger letter for resigning.
