General
Description


the popular demand for a RELIABLE
and CONVENIENT dictionary of the
English language. The highest authori-
ties have been consulted and eminent
specialists have been brought together to
make this book AUTHENTIC and COM
PLETE in all respects.
While based upon the ORIGINAL
work Of NOAH WEBSTER, it is brought
up to the PRESENT in every particular.
All pronuneiations are MODERN and
are plainly indicated by phonetic spell
ling: the definitions are comprehensive,
though concise; the type is large and
clear; each page carries a running key
board which shows the first and last
word defined on that particular page,
thus avoiding the use Of a cumbersome
thumb-index; instead Of meaningless
text pictures, the entire work is pro-
fusely illustrated with full-page color
plates, monotones, and autograph charts;
following the dictionary proper is a Ref
erence Library, which in itself is COM
~plete treasury of facts for everyday use.
The worlds greatest authorities on
the English language are to be found in
American universities and colleges, and
from these sources came the knowledge
set forth in the NEW WEBSTERIAN.
The editOr-in-chief, Prof. Harry Thurs

German Steamship Lines.

! Germans seem to have a special
faculty for managing great steamship
lines. Besides those huge corporations
the INSTRUMENTATION and the North
German Lloyd Companies, there Is an
other of almost equal magnitude, the
'Hamburg-Sud," which has just cele-
brated its fortieth birthday. Beginning
with three small steamers of 2,728 tons
burden combined, the company now
has fleet of forty-eight steamers to-
talag 248,25 tons, with 1876 auxiliary
craft. In 1909 the company carried H.
694 passengers.

SUIT is FILED
AGAINST PITIMAN
FEDERAL COURT
r. C. HALL DEMANDS RESTITU-
TloN OF MERGER STOCK
FROM sENAToR-ELEcT

A suit was field Saturday in the
United States district court at Car
son against Key Pittman and the
First National bank of Tonopah, in
volving S9,784 shares of the stock
of the Tonopah Merger Mining COM
pany. The title of the case is
Robert Calvin Hall vs.. Key Pittman,
the First National bank of Tonopah,
registrar and transfer agent of the
Tonopah Merger Mining company,
and Philip Fisler, secretary of the
same company. A restraining order
against Pittman, Fisler and the bank
is asked, enjoining them from dis
posing of the stock of the Merger
company.
The complaint alleges that a part
nership exists between Hall and Pitt
man; that this partnership existed
at the time of the formation of the
Tonopah Merger company, Pittman
and Hall to receive one. share of
stock for each ten cents of indebt-
edness due to Pittman and the Tono-
pah Banking corporation from the
Golden Anchor company; that all
stock of the Tonopah Merger Min.
llS Ill WHICH, Ildll udo al
interest was issued to Pittman for
convenience and that one-half be-
longs to Hall, this interest being
not less than S9,7S4 shares Of the
value of 81 each.
The complaint further alleges that
Fisler is private secretary and per
sonal confidant of Pittman; that
Pittman has great and persuasive
influence over Fisler which would
cause Fisler, as secretary of the
company, to act as directed by Pitt
man; that Pittman is vice president
and attorney of the bank and that
by reason of being an executive of
ficer has great and persuasive inflp
ence over the management and Off
GERS of the bank.
Pittman is made the principal de.
fendant, but the restraining order
prayed for is intended to reach Fis
Ter, the bank and the officers OF
the bank, and the court is asked for
an order requiring Pittman to de-
liver the Merger stock to Hall or the
value of the stock with costs and
damages.
A decree dissolving the partner
ship is also asked.
Tom Branton, deputy United States
marshal, served the various defend
ants to the action with the papers
in the suit Saturday afternoon.

S. Fox of this city, the original
locator of Goldfield and who has
since been attempting to prove his
claims in the courts, departed for
the southern city this morning to do
the annual assessment work on the
claim upon which the principal bust
ness part of Goldfield is situated.
Fox located the claim when the rush
was first started to the Goldfield
district.
He has attempted to prove his
ownership to the claim for a num-
ber of years. The Goldfield district
court decided adversely to Fox but
the supreme court reversed the rul
ing and a new trial has been grant
ed. Fox has always kept up the
assessment work on the claim that
his title might not be impaired.
