Lincoln, July 6. (Special.) Load
ing of cars with the wagons neces
sary to convey baggage and other
equipment of the Fourth infantry of
Nebraska and the signal corps began
this afternoon.
It will take forty-five-cvs to trans
port the equipment and men, includ-
ing sleepers and other cars. There
will be twenty-one baggage wagons
and two ambulance wagons for the
regiment besides the equipment of the
signal corps and the horses. The load
ing of the baggage wagons will be
under the supervision of Captain
William Kelso, commanding the
Fourth regiment supply company of
Wisner, who is also quartermaster
of the company.
No One Says When.'
When the troops will to, however,
remains a- mystery. Orders were re
ceived last night to move within thirty-six
hours, but at noon today no
cars had arrived tor tne transport oi
the troops and no one appeared to
know when they would come or
where they would come from.
There ,are some things in connec
tion witfi the movement pr lack of
movement, rather, of the Nebraska
troops that may later be looked into.
Just why on the eve of departure the
troops should be given a low grade
of shoes, and blankets so small that
two have had to be issued to the
men in order to make a covering, and
of such inferior quality that even the
most ignorant man on quality of such
goods could discern the difference, is
causing considerable comment.
' Blankets Sent Back.
The "baby blankets," as the men
have named them, are not only off
grade but off color as well, while the
shoes are so much different from the
regulation shoe that they will not do
at all. The whole shipment was re
turned this morning.
Another uniform was found this
morning in a plumbing shop on South
Eleventh street which some soldier
had discarded before taking French
leave. A reward of $50 has been of
fored for his apprehension. Desertion
from the United States service is a
serious proposition in time of peace
and is generally punished with a few
vears in the military prison at Fort
Leavenworth, but at war time it
means a little trip to the guard house,
a court-martial and a firing squad at
lunrise, -

(From a Staff Correspondent.) .
Washington, July 6. (Special Tele
gram.) The democratic majority of
the house 'of representatives today
be gan consideriijioti of an emergency
revenue bill that will add $200,000,000
to the coffers of the republic, accord
ing to its sonsors. iWthout so much
courtesy at having the bill read in
the committee of ways and means, it
was presented to the house without a
minority report. Marked as it will be
as an adoption of republican princi
pies, appropriated by the majority to
meet pressing emergencies, the bill
gives promise of becoming a platform
in itself, an admission that the demo
cratic party cannot run the govern
ment on purely idealistic lines.
Republicans are likely to split over
the bill, which to say the least, has
been more deftly drawn than any
measure, that has come from the
democratic ways and means commit
tee of the house since its accession to
authority. This is not stated in any
editorial sense, but as suggestive of
what democracy will do to hold
power.
Position of Sloan.
Representative Sloan of the Fourth
district, a republican,' who holds a
place on the ways and means com
mittee "has been heralded as one of
those who will support the measure
as reported by the democratic major
ity. This prognostication is correct
in parts. The repeal of the stamp
tax, or the "adhessive tax" as it has
been denominated, is republican to
the core. The duty on dye stuffs, to
start an Vinfant industry" in this
country is distinctly a recognition of
republican .principles.
The anti-dumping clause is a flat
recognition of repulbican principles,
which has been enunciated in every
platform of the party in the last six
teen years. The inheritance tax fea
tures for the bill as outlined in The
Bee are new, but there are those who
believe the state should still control
the tax and not the federal govern
ment. Congressman Sloan, who is a mem
ber, but who was not asked whether
he lilted the bill or not until ft was
reported, within the course of his
speech tomorrow will offer three
amendments. One wilt be to reduce
by 10 per cent the salary of every
government official except those of
the president, the vice president and
members of the supreme court they
being eo-ordinate branches and not
being created by law under the con
stitution. i Tax on Munitions.
Mr. Sloan will also move to
amend the bill by starting the taxa
tion on munitions July 1, 1915, in
stead of the-first of the year 1917.
Mr. Soan, in his speech tomorrow,
will take the position that the manu
facturers of munitions in 1915 were
aiding foreign countries rather than
our own country in the output of war
material, and that, therefore, they
should pay a tax in greater propor
tion than those who may be called
upon to furnish ourselves with muni
tions. "It would be manifestly unfair to
put a tax on munitions made for our
own selves and allow those made for
European countries to go scot free,"
said Mr. Sloan.
Would Refund Stamp Tax.
As to the third amendment, Mr.
Sloan said: "I shall move to amend
the bill to refund to th epeople who
paid the stamp tax in the last eight
een months, the amounts they sever
ally paid, on the ground that it was
an outrage to lay the tax originally
and to collect it, and if an outrage in
good conscience it ought to be made
right."
"So many questions are Involved in
this bill and so many interests in
volved that it would seem but right
that the minority leader nf thr hnnte
James R. Mann, ought to call the
republicans in conference to secure
some comprehensive action on the
bill now under discussion," said a
Nebraska republican today.
Push Consideration.
Under a special rule a final vote
will be taken before adjurnment
Monday.
Majority Leader Kitchin ' ODcned
the debate with a plea that the bill
be pascd as a non-partisan prepared
ness measure, since so large a part
of the revenue to be derived from
it would go to pay for army and
navy increases. Republican leaders
replied by charging the administra
tion with gross extravagance and by
attacking as ill-advised the means
now proposed to meet the treasury
situation.
Plight of Government.
Mr. Kitchin outlined in detail the
federal government's financial condi
tion and the expenses which will have
to be met during'the coming year.
A 'total of $226,000,000, he said,
would be needed to carry out the
enormous appropriation program
congress had drawn up, and the $197,
000,000 to be raised by the revenue
bill would leave $69,000,000 to be
made up out of the general fund.
"We propose," he continued, "to
take from the general balance fund,
which on June 30 was the largest
by many millions of any year for the
last eight years, the sum of $69,000,000
and then leave in the disbursing of
fices, or to their credit, $60,000,000 to
operate the government's expenses.

Coat Put There Long
After Girl's Death
W'aukegan, III., July 6. Answering
a long hypothetical question Dr. W.
O. Krohn, physician and alienist wit
ness, today in the trial of Will H.
Orpet, charged with the murder of
Marion Lambert, said Miss Lambert
was of the hysterical type and had a
tendency toward suicide.
Hysteria, of which the defense con
tends Marion was a victim, is a dis
tinct disease of the imagination, the
witness said.
"The victims of the disease," he
added, "have a distinct tendency to
morbidness and to commit suicide".
Dr. W. G. McNally, expert-f hemist,
who made an analysis of the stomach
contents of the body of Marion and
examined also the spots on Marion's
coat, took the stand for the defense
this afternoon. Indirectly lie stated
the cyanide of potassium on the coat
was put there long atter Marion s
death on February 9.
He said that the odor of cyanide
disappears in a' few days and cannot
be chemically detected after two
weeks. That on the coat, he said,
he could smell on June 13, five months
after the death of Marion.
"My experiments show that the
spots could not possibly have been
there over eight weeks,' the witness
declared. -

STATE GOLF PLAY
MARKS ARE UPSET
John Sedick Is Trimmed by
Ralph Peters and Sprague
Triumphs Over Poye.i
REYNOLDS IS , FAVORITE
BY LOUIS H. COOK.
When the final scores for the day's
play in the state golf tournament at
the Field club were turned in last
night the prophets and the "wise
guys" threw up their hands in dis
may and headed for the tall and
uncut.'
For many things happened yester
day which were not on the .regular
bill of fare. Fqj instance, it was a
rather stiff jolt to the dopesters when
Paul Scott, Council Bluffs Rowing
association youngster, eliminated
Jack Hughes in the maraing round.
Several other buckets of dope were
spilled early in Ihe afternoon when
it became known that John Redick,
state champion, had been defeated by
his fellow clubman, Ralph Peters, city
champion.
But these were minor surnnses to
that occasioned when E. H. Sprague,
who has been playing for the Coun
try club for a decade or two, but
who has heretofore been content to
permit the feminine end of the family
to win whatever championships were
garnered, waltzed into the eighteenth
green bearing the scalp of Captain
W. J. Foye, state champion in 1911,
and who had been figured as an al
most certain finalist this year be
cause of a comparatively easy draw
before him. ,
Williams Falls.
The two early dark horses of the
tournament, Joe Williams of the Field
club and Paul Scott of Council Bluffs,
didn't do much dark-horsing after the
first round. Jimmy Allen of the
Field club took care of Williams
neatly, and Jack Sharp proceeded to
put Scott out of the running.
As a result ot yesterday s play, tour
Field club representatives and four
Country club men will fight it out
for the championship.. These eight
ill be weeded down to two survi
vors by tonight, and the dopesters
are considerably up in the air as to
who will get into the finals.
In the first section of the draw,
Jack Sharp and James Allen of the
Field club will meet this morning,
with honors figured about even. ' In
the other half of this section, Frank
Hale of the Field dub will play L. H.
Sprague. of, the, Country club, with
Hale a slight- favorite. -In
the other half of the draw, Bill
Chambers of the Country club meets
Ralnh
and Sam Reynolds of- the Field club
will Dlav Clarence Peters of the
Country club Ralph Peters and Rey
nolds are the favorites. ." ;
The best guess, possibly, is that
either Sam Reynolds or Ralph Peters
will play either Sprague or Hale in
the finals' tomorrow. That's a guess
with plenty of latitude, and probably
is about as wide of the mark as some
of the predictions already made.
Sam Reynolds, however, is the fa
vorite at present. A pool was
FRENCH ADVANCE ,
FURTHERONMME
North Bank of River is Clear of
Germans Almost as Far
as Clery. -;-
BRITONS ARE ALSO BUST
London, July 6. Having captured
the whole German second line south
of the Somme from the river to Bel
loy, the French have resumed opera
tions north of the river and have
cleared the bank almost to Clery.
The French, who have established
themselves at Sormont farm, also
threaten Clery. ,
; The British are still heavily en
gaged all along their front from
Hardecourt to Gommecourt Not
withstanding heavy German counter
attacks they have been able to main
tain ill the ground gained and extend
it at some point. .. : .. .. . .
- As the German trenches arc occupied-evidence
accumulates of the
deadly execution of artillery. In
some -cases 80 per cent of the de
fenders were killed by the terrific
shelling to which they were subject
ed. British losses vary. Certain for
mations being called on to attack
defenses where machine guns re
mained undamaged, suffered heavily.
Others captured the positions which
had been set as their objective with
slight losses.
Germans Pounding Verdun.
Instead of compelling the Germans
to lessen their efforts at Verdun, the
Anglo-French offensive seems to
have increased their determination,
possibly in the hope of preventing
the French from sending reinforce
ments to the Somme.
British observers express satisfac
tion with the progress made. With
the heavy casualties caused by the
bombardment and the taking of 16,
000 prisoners and a gseat quantity of
war material, together with the sub
sequent losses inflicted in counter at
tacks, it is believed here that the
C:rman power of resistance must
have been weakened.
Russians Making Gains.
The Russians continue to record
successes, some of which are of great
importance, along their whole front
from Riga to the Carpathians. They
have crossed the railway "between
Delatyn, west of Kolomea and Kor
osmezo, one of the main lines be
tween Galicia and Hungary, upon
which the Austrians depend largely
to supply their armies at Stanislaus
and before Tarnopol. This places
the army of General von Bethmer in
a still more dangerous position and it
ers orxne country c.. meets, u ti10ught ,le may decide, to with
feters of the Country club, r. ,,. i,mk'-r
draw toward Lemberg.
In the Lutsk salicne-at Barano
vichi and along the Riga front the
Russians also claini to be making
progress and to have repulsed count
er attacks. German correspondents
express the opinion that General
Kuropatkin is-preparing an offensive
in the Vilna region.
French Advance Steadily.

sive has made steady progress in the

A orofit sharing dividend of 10 per

area of new territory has been oc
cupicd and extensive captures of guns
and numinous have been made.
In the first five days of their battle
against the Germans, the French have
advanced with remarkable uniformity.
The ground gained varied each day
in depth at different points, but the
gains have averaged about the same
along the entire front, and the French
are now firmly installed between the
German second and third lines of de
fense, over a front in excess of seven
miles.
That the French tenses have been
comparatively insignificant is indi
cated by the maintenance on the front
line of attack, on their own request,
of 'the same two army corps which
made the first assault on the German
positions last Saturday morning. One
of these corps distinguished itself be
fore Verdun in February, after having
won laurels in the battle of the Marnc
and at all parts of the front where
there has been heavy fighting. Th
other corps comprises chiefly colonial
troops. The g-.'nerals commanding
each corps were again congratulated
