POTATOES CONDEMNED
BY INSPECTOR ADDISON

E. FL. Addison, inspector of the
Pure Food department of Nevada
for Tonopah, did not have to wait
long to act in his new capacity, says
the Bonanza. Scaeely was the ink
dry on his appointment when he re
ceived a call from the Silva Berg
holdt Produce company, which had
seen a notice in the Bonanza. Mr.
Addison was invited to inspect a ear
load of potatoes that had arrived from
Bigelow, Cal, small station on the
narrow guage railroad near Bishop.
Inspector Addison found the ship
ment of 246 sacks to be inferior stock
and condemned the lot. The con
signees wired thesshippers to send an
agent here to look after the potatoes
and w. Fl. Montgomery of Goldfeld
came over to inquire. He admitted
the tubers were not what they should
have been as they were Ascabby and
pitted by the alfalfa beetle left in the
ground after the previous crop of hay
had been plowed under.
Under the spervision of Inspector
Addison, the potatoes were sorted and
about 10 per cent found bad. These
were sent to the dump.
Before this appointment there was
no check on the quality of produce
shipped to Tonopah and consumers
had no protection. In this case the
consignees bought the potatoes in
good faith and paid the freight, but
as soon as they saw the contents they
took seteps for their own protection

THOUSAND LAUGHS
MONDAY EVENING

The theatergoers of Winnemucca
will be given a real treat next Mon
day, March 16, when that big New
York comedy success, GA Bachelor 3
Honeymoon, will be presented at
the Nixon opera house, under the man
agement of A. Mayon Bradfeld.
the story of the play is as follows:
Bachelor has two daughters who
are under the care of devoted sister.
While they are away at the seashore,
their father marries an actress, who is
not aware that he has chick or child.
The actress, learning that her hus-
band had daughters, the bride is not
bit flattered All sorts of absurd
complications arise. The sister must
rot be told that Benjamin has mar
ried again and least of all that he has
married an actress, or Benjamin will
be cut off from the fortunes of his
father, who made one of the condi-
tions of his inheritance that he should
not marry again without the consent
of Minerva, Ben niamin's sitter. The
bride is an actress of note and the
papers and her theatrical manager
have taken up the affair: a detective
IL sent to the home of Benjamin
Bachelor who denies that he has mar
ried and introduces his wife to his
sister as a governess. More trouble
comes at this time and in punishment
for the affair, Minerva, the moral
guardian of the children, demands
that her brother marry the woman he
has brought to his home, in order to
prevent further trouble and scandal.
So. after all, the honeymoon ends
happily.
The east will include Mr.. Eddie
O'Brien and Miss Rose Ainsworth,
who will be supported by company
of well known players.

JUDGE HARDWOOD WILL RE-
SIGN WITHIN THREE WEEKS


Hon. Cole L. Harwood, Judge of
the District Court. said this after-
noon he would resign from the bench
in about three weeks.
He will take up the work of the late
". A. Massey in the firm of Massey
& Springmeyer He was associated
with Judge Massey before his ap-
pointment to the bench and was an
old and intimate friend of the Judge.
1t was Judge Massey's hope his prac-
tice would be continued, and it is by
Mrs Massey's request that Judge
Harwood will take it up.
"Senator Massey Judge Har-
wod said this morning, "was my old
law partner. He enjoyed a practice
valued at many thousands of dollars
a year, but you know how liberal he
was and how willing to take a chance.
! don't know in what condition his
affairs were left, but in resigning
from the bench and taking up the
loom where Judge Massey left the tan
gled threads, understand that it is
not matter of sentiment, but of
business.
No matter what may be the de-
cision of Judge Harwood, there is
more than a lingering suspicion that
sentiment will govern him in his
move, as it has done in the past many
times.
As to his successor, there are two
names prominently mentioned, Geo.
S Green and A. n. Salisbury. 1t is
possible Albert Ayers also will be sug
eested and other members of the
Washoe county bar.-Gazette.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE OPPOSED
BY GEORGE WINGF1ELD

George Wingfeld. admittedly the
states leading business and mining
man, advised the Standard Monday,
in reeounting the things in his opin-
ion best for Nevada S substantial in
terests, that should the suffrage
amendment carry at the general
election this fan he would close up
his business and leave the state;
that he had plenty of money upon
which to live and that his construct
i've ambitions for the state would be
thus nullifed. The whole move
ment. Mr. Wingfeld thinks, has
been farcical everywhere and unpro-
by the fanatics who agitate the
minds of womanhood. Experience
has demonstrated. he said, that the
constructive woman votes. mateh'ng
the same vote among tfe SUI stantia'
r,en, remains largely awav. from the
1olls when decisive issues are in
volved and the radical womanhood
conforming to the radical male con-
tingent. vote early and as often as
the opportunity offers.
He believes the foisting of woman
suffrage upon Nevada would prove
particularly disastrous just at this
time. The states development, he
said, is proceeding slowly and con
servatively and the interests behind
this conservative and consistent de-
velopment are warranted in avoid
ing radical innovation, which Mr..
Wingfeld feels certain would follow
the female agitator, once the ballot
gave her full power to exercise her
peculiar whims and fancies.-Fallon

OPPOSITION TO
SENATOR P|TTMAN

Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada, is
persona non grata TO two of the most
influential members of the upper
house, and the usefulness of the man
from the west will be vastly abridg
ed through the opposition engendered
by his failure to respect party pledges.
Senator Charles g. Thomas, of Colo
RADIO has expressed himself openly
that he has not use for the Nevada
Junior senator. The other is Senator
Vardaman, of Mississippi, who con
trolls the radical element from the
southern states, He has warned Pitt
man to keep on the other side of the
street when he sees him coming as
he will not have anything to do with
a man whom he accuses of a breach
Of honor. 1t all comes about from the
nomination of Benjamin Rosenthal
for postmaster af Goldfeld and the
sidestepping of Vardaman with ten
der of job as receiver of the U. s.
land Office at Carson City.
Pittman, it is alleged, had given his
personal pledge to Thomas and Var
daman to appoint John Vardaman, of
Goldfield. to the postoffice of that
town and the candidate was assured
that it was all right to leave the mat
ter to Pittman. Imagine the sur
prise of the Colorado senator and the
Mississippi brother on hearing the
list of nominations for Nevada with
their candidate sidestepped and SHOW
ed off in an office he did not seek and
would not have under any considera-
tion. Pittman made lame explana-
tion but he did not succeed in satisfy
ing his colleagues. He is alleged to
have given his word to appoint Var
daman and then went and nominated
another. 1t is surmised that Rosen-
thai had greater pull that appealed
to the senator from Tonopah than
the quiet, gentlemanly broker of Gold
field. who has always been associated
with the better element of his party.
Thomas and Vardaman are close to
the administration and the man from
Colorado is one of the best exponents
of mining law in the United States.
Pittman has aspirations in connection
with the new project for government
ownership in Alaska and Thomas
frankly says he is able to make the
climate of the northern country so
warm Tor the NPNaua man THdt ne
will think Honolulu an iceberg in com
parison.
Owing to the operation of another
land Office in Nevada the fees of the
old office at Carson City have fallen
off to an extent that called for gen
eral reduction in salaries and the job
of receiver is worth only about $1,000
a year, or about $500 a year less than
what vardaman pays his own book
keeper in Goldfeld The postoffice is
worth $4,000 a year.
Among the whisperings in the lobby
is heard the remark that Mark R.
Averill one of the district judges OF
Nevada, stands an excellent chance
for the nomination of U. s. judge, if
the bill for another Federal Court
goes through Averill IS recommends
ton for the position is that he was a
Bull Moose in the last campaign and
threw his strength against the Repub-
lican candidate for Pittman, who is
now called on to redeem another cam
paign pledge-Washington special tc

PLEA Will BE JUS
TIFIABLE HOMICIDE

Good progress is being made in the
McFadden case, and it is thought the
State will rest this evening or Mon
way morning. Several eye-witnesses
have testified to the shooting, includ-
ing "Shorty' Burns, who was woun l.
ed in the fusilade by defendant.
Two of the States principal wit
nesses, Mrs. McFadden and Frank
Manda, both of whom were also
wounded, are out of the state and will
not testify at the trial.
This morning Harry Roberts, a
piano player, who was standing near
the entrance to the saloon during the
shooting, was on the stand. Upon a
cross-examination by Judge Frame
this afternoon, however, witness was
not so sure as to details as he was
upon direct examination.
It is said that defendants defense
will be that the shooting was justifi-
able, relying on that provision of
law which permits a man to remove
his wife from place of the character
in which the shooting occurred, using
whatever force may be necessary.

Coed Ball Game.

The ball game at Thompson last
Sunday attracted quite a crowd from
Yerington and Mason and other parts
of the district The game was be-
tween the Reno and Thompson mines,
and was closely contested. Up to the
eighth inning the Thompson boys had
not scored run while Reno had man
aged to squeeze out two tallies. The
smelter team stayed on the job, how
ever, and scored one run in the
eighth and two in the ninth, winning
the game by score of 3 to 2, amid
wild cheers from the spectators In
the first inning Moe, the catcher for
the Thompson nine, received split
hand from foul ball which put him
out of commission for the day, and
may be possible that he will not be
able to catch again this season. He
was sent to the Mason hospital for
treatment.
