FOOD CONTROLLER SAYS SERI-
Gus SITUATION FACES
PEOPLE

LONDON, March ~. - The PrGs-
sian food controller, Dr.. George
M~ichaelis, made in the Prussian diet
yesterday what the Koelnische lei
tung calls a serious speech on the
food situation, says a Reuter- dis
patch from Amsterdam. DR..
Michaelis declared the distress was
such that a more severe state of
things, especially in the large indus
trial %centers. could hardly be mag
ined. He indicated the possibility
that all surplus stocks of grain
would be exhausted and said that
very radical measures were needed
to enable the people to hold out
until next year.
1--WE have in the third year of the
war" the food controller is quoted
as saying, discovered that among
all sections of the people the gen.
eral feeling evinced is not one of
that endurance for which we had
hoped. This is human nature, but
is is highly d%eplorable and may
have most serious results"

REGA|NS POSSESSION OF
HIS PRECIOUS R0AOHOUSE
HIGH-CLASS INSTITUTION BE-
TWEEN HERE AND TONOPAH
RESTORED TO OWNER

The suit of Jack Owens against
Cain, in which Owens sought to
regain possession of the property
between here and Tonopah known
as "Givens' roadhouse,' which
Givens claimed was illegally held
by the defendants, was tried yester-
day in the district court before
Judge j. Emmett Walsh, and judg-
ment was entered in favor of the
erty and costs of the action. Adams
F.. Brown and F. j. Chase were at
torneys for the plaintiff. Cain
appeared in his own behalf.
Mrs. Blanche Roberts did not
appear and waived all interest in
claims to the property. Givens tes-
titled to moving the buildings to
Ramsey's wells, the location Of the
roadhOuse, and to locating placer
claims there. He later testified to
something that will be of great
interest to mining men in this
section, the effect of which is that
there is no placer ground there.
Kane also attempted to make placer
locations on the same ground.
1t was stated in the complaint
that Mrs. Roberts lived with Givens
for about five years as his common
law wife, coming to Goidfield with
him from Cuprite. Owens says that
he left the roadhOuse and came to
Goldfield, where he secured en-
pioyment in the mines, and that
during his absence Cain usurped
everything he had, including his
wife, and refused to vacate the
premises.

WALTER BROWN is KILLED

Word was received here last night
announcing the death at Plymouth,
Cal, of Walter Brown, brother of
Mrs. Ralph Mclaughlin, wife of
the chief engineer for the Con-
Mines company.
Brown was a young mar and was
we'll known to Goldfield people.
having attended the high-school
here. For a number of years he
was in the employ of the Tonopah
and Goldfield railroad and the Con-
solidated company. He left here
some years ago to accept a posi-
tion with the Plymouth CONSOLE
dated Mines company.
Since leaving Goldfield Brown was
married to Miss Elizabeth Beesley,
daughter of former County Com
Charles Beesley. The
brief telegram received announcing
his death said that it was caused by
an electric shock, and it is thought
that he was killed while at work.
His father, R. A. Brown, a millman
at the Consolidated mill. has left
for Plymouth.

REGULAR MEETING
OF WOMAN'S CLUB
HEARS DISCUSSION OF IMMIGRA-
TION PROBLEMS AND THE
LITERACY TEST

At the regular meeting of the
Goldfield Woman's club on Thurs
day the program was given over to
a discussion of the immigration
que stion by Mr.. V. l.. Ricketts,, who
tc ok for his theme the literacy test
incorporated in the immigration bill
recently vetoed for the second time
by President Wilson and which on
gress passed owe the presidents
veto. Mr.. Ricketts, approved the
stand of President Wilson, which
was similar to that of President Taft
and the late President Cleveland. He
expressed the belief that the immi-
grant was not so much the immigra-
ton problem as the children of the
immigrant and his children's chill
dren who, in the processes of ANAL
gamation and assimilation have con-
stituted the principal population of
the republic as it exists.
The speaker contended that the
literacy test was not the proper test
for excluding the undesirable immi-
grant, the children of the immigrant
showing a better record of attend
ance at school and a better record
against ~illiteracy, as evidenced by
u own census reports, than the
children of native-born white par
ents. This condition was especially
true of the southern states and true
of most of the northern states, and
also true of the United States as a
whole. Types of the educated immi-
grant had given more trouble and
expense to the United States than
any type OF th illiterate immigrant

Wild Ride Costs $40

l.. w. Whenchel was arrested in
Reno after a wild ride in an auto
mobile which came to an abrupt
stop when the speeder hit a fire
hydrant. He was arrested and
forfeited $40 bail the next morning

in his path. The machine came on
them from the rear, hit the buggy a
glancing blow and threw the men
20 feet into a ditch along with the
horse and buggy. The driver did
not even stop and continued on his
way until he attempted to round a
corner. He drove the car up On the
sidewalk, where it hit a fire hy-
drant and stopped. Whenchel made

rested by the chief of police.

SCRUGRAM TO BIT
STATE ENGINEER
DEAN OF ENGINEERING COL
LEGE SUCCEEDS w. NJ.
KEARNEY

Professor J. G.. Scrugham, lean
of the engineering colleges at
the university, was appointed state
engineer today by Governor Boyle
and will assume the duties of the
office on May /, taking the place
of w. NJ. Kearney. who has held the
position for the past our years and
whose term will expire on March 90.
In making the announcement of
the appointment. Governor Boyle
said the change in the office was
with the exception of offering the
position to David Hayes at the
beginning of his term as governor,
he had never rendered the position
to anyone.
Part of the letter to Mr.. Kearney
from Governor Boyle concerning the
change is as follows:
Permit me to say hat while,
with the majority of the people of
the state, l believe hat you have
administered the office during your
term with unusual ability and with
sincere honesty. | likewise feel hat
you have, because of prior employ
ment and associations and as a
result of the friction incident to the
discharge of your duties, become
~deadlocked with certain persons.
which fact will, in spite of anything
that any of us can do, continue to
retard and tie up your department
while you remain at it's head"
Dean Scrugham will secure a
leave of absence for two years from
the university to take up the work
in the engineers office. He is prob
ably one of the best known profess
sional men in the state and has
had considerable experience in the
past several years along the same
lines as the state engineer.-Reno

TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

raise is o in progress over this
crosscut for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether the Burro No. 4
vein continues over in this direc-
ton. At the same time, a raise is
going up on a segment of the old
Mizpah vein, north and west of the
shaft, under the Siebert fault. So
far the raise shows only low-grade
quartz. In a short time it will con-
rect with what is thought to be a
continuation of the same vein de-
veloped on the intermediate levels
below the 5O0-foot level. This raise
has been designated as No. 67S,
which will serve to identify it in
succeeding reports.
At the Sandgrass claim, the regu-
lar amount of progress was achieved
in the crosscuts which are heading
towards one another for the purpose
of connecting the old Merger shaft
with the new level of the Sandgrass
shaft. Different formations appear
in the c~rosscuts, that going toward
the north from the Sandgrass shaft
showing calcite andecite in it's face,
and the crosscut to the south from
the Merger shaft having West End
rhyolite as the formation through
which it is passing.
On the 12OO-foot level, there was
no development work performed
during the week, but the stopping
work amounted to the usual guam
tity, with the values of the ore we'll
sustained as work progressed.
On the 1300-foot level, the in
termediate drift to the west has
been discontinued, temporarily at
least, and raising through to the
1200-foot level has been COM
menced. The object of the new
work is to facilitate the stopping of
ore lying in the immediate vicinity.

The company has been giving leases
