Tomorrow may afford the last Sun
day opportunity TO get out of the
city at convenient after breakfast
hour for a visit 10 the smelter, from

there will be the 80 cent round trip

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Able Yesterday To Deny New York
Report That His Guggenhcim
Connection i severed.

NEW YORK, Feb Al Is stat
ed here that John Hays Ham
mond. the mining engineer, has sew
cred his connection with the Gnggen-
helm Exploration oompany. by which
he was employed ut salary said to
be $3.50 900 a year Mr.. Hammond,
1t Is said, will be succeeded by A.
Chester Beatty. who was his first
assistant and who has done most of
the work Of the position since Mr.
Hammond went west for his health
several months ago. He was oper-
ated on for appendicitis yesterday at
San Francisco. II is possible that
his retirement from the Guggenheim
enterprises marks the end of active
work for Mr.. Hammond along the
lines In which he has been notably
successful. In addition to his work
in this country, Mr. Hammond was
formerly known as the greatest ex-
pert on gold mining in South Az
rica.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-John
Hays Hammond, through his private
secretary, denied this morning that
he had severed his connection with
the Gnggenheims. His contract with
the mining magnates does not ex-
pire until March / and there will be
no decision as to its renewal or can
collation. until that time. The sec
retary said the operation for appen-
dicitis had been very successful. and
that Mr.. Hammond hoped soon to be
in the best of health. He plans
greater activity in the mining field
than ever after his convalescence.

Commissioner Declares
He has Evidence that
Will Make COnvictS
All of the Chain Of Rick
ey Banks to Reopen
Under the New Deal

RENO. Feb. Al. I. Shaw,
chairman of the rehabilitation COM
mittee having in charge the affairs
of the State Bank and Trust COM
pany, came in from Carson last night.
He plans TO leave for San Francisco
this morning on business connected
with the company
1T is ridiculous 10 think that the
plan of reopening the bank includes
only the institution at Carson, SAID
Shaw. I'm the first place that would
be a direct violation of the law and
would not be allowed under any cir
cumstances. What we intend TO do
is to open every one of the banks and
to give every deposition in the institu-
tion an equal chance TO share in ev-
cry benefit derived We have the
hearty cooperation of the people Of
Carson and we do not look for any
difficulty in having every depositor
sign the agreement. We have moth
ing TO conceal from the public, on
the contrary we invite Investigation
and stand ready at all times to ex-
plain anything desired, What we
want TO do is to pull the company
through our efforts that we secured
this proposition from Mackenzie and
thus saved the bank from going into
the hands of n receiver.
I'VE are going 10 Tonopah. Gold
field, Manhattan, GaFdnefville and
wherever depositors of the State
Bank and Trust company are loeat-
ed and show them where it is to the
advantage of all of us TO sign up
and begin business at once.
AS to the manner in which things
have been conducted, that is another
matter. II will come up later. But
! can say this now. have enough
evidence in my pocket at this very
moment to send at least "A dozen men
to the penitentiary and before the
business is ended there will be Grim
inal prosecutions. This is a matter
that does not concern us now; II is
something which our attorneys will
attend to and the people of Nevada
may depend upon it that the guilty
ones will he hunted down and prose-
cuted as their crimes deserve.

eat dinner, according to his state
ment

Bill is
StrictMeaSure

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA COM
prehensive employers liability bill
was introduced in the senate and
house today by Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin and Representative
Sterling of Illinois. The authors say
the bill has the endorsement of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen and
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, and is intended to meet the
recent decision of the supreme court
by which the employers liability act
of June IL, 1906. was declared un-
constitutional.
Every common carrier while en-
gagged in interstate or foreign COM
merce or commerce between the pos
sessions of the United States. is made
liable to it's employees who are in
jured while employed in such COM
merce when such injuries are due to
the negligence or mismanagement of
any officer or employe of such car
rier, or when due to defects or in
sufiicieneies in equipment. This pro-
vision is made equally applicable TO
tdTiltIS III tne teTlltofleS, tHe Iis-
trict of Columbia and the Panama
canal zone, and carriers engaged in
the transportation of the United
States mails.
The bill recognizes the doctrine of
comparative negligence" as IL is
now recognized in the states of Wis
consin, South Dakota North Dakota,
Nebraska, Nevada. Georgia and Flor
ida, and in the act of congress which
was declared unconstitutional. 1t
