MILLIONS IN VAULTS BUT
NO FUNDS TO MOVE MONEY

WASHINGTON, July 8-:An unprece-
dented situation confronts the United
States treasury. With millions in cur
rency piled in its vaults and a crying de-
mand for 1t throughout the country, the
government has practically no funds with
which to pay for its transportation.
There Is an urgent call for notes Of the
smaller denominations which cannot be
met during the remaining days of July.
The prospects are that thousands of
persons will be paid off in coin. and the
result will be that the tremendous
amount of gold and silver stored in the
subtreasuries will see the light of circu-
lation.
This condition is due to the fact that
with the exception of s6s all of the al
lowance for expressage on currency au-
thorized by the congressional resolution
continuing for the month OF July, one
twelfth Of the last fiscal years appro-
priation. has been consumed.

LINCOLN C0NvL asS TODAY
Representatives Of Both Delegations

tangle All Differences.
TWO CONVENTIONS IN PR0sPEST
Both Wings Proceed Under the
Theory That Right to Use Party

fore Convention.

Chairman Kennedy of the republican
state central committee has not given
up hope Of bringing the regulars and in.
surgents together on program to pre-
vent a split In the Lincoln convention.
He went to Lincoln yesterday and has
asked the memse-s of the executive COM
mittee to be there early to consider the
mode Of procedure and the probability
of reaching some agreement The com.
mittee meets at o'clock to take up the
contests. Representatives Of both dele
cations from Douglas county will be pres
ent.
The question Of contests and the method
OF handling them Is being looked up by
Mr.. Kennedy. The rules Of the state
committee provide merely that the execu-
tive committee make up the roll. having
the power to decide the tentative roll.
Few contests have resulted In this
state. There was one four years ago.
when Platte county had two delegations.
The executive committee gave ths> two
delegations hearing and seated one del
egation.
According to the best figures available.
although the filings are not complete,
there will be $50 ccAtests at IAncoln and
probably still more will be subject to pro-
test on the ground OF their not being
eligible to sit in q republican convention.
Word from Lancaster Is to the effect
that both the regulars and the Insurgents
are proceeding on the theory that thers
will be two conventions and that the
right to use the party name will be
eventually brought before the court 0f
adjudication.

Death under most unusual circum-

yesterday, the victims both being on
trips to Sarpy county. Joseps Miller was
knocked from the Missouri Pacific trestlc
near La Platte while fishing and was
killed. Mrs. Lena Goodman was In
stantly killed by bullet from rifle
being carried over the shoulder by a
young boy. Mrs. Goodman was sitting
on porch in Bellevue holding her small
baby at the time.
Her life snuffed out by rifle In the
hands of Ernest Meyers, a 10-year-old
boy, Mrs. Lena Goodman, wife Of r. s.
Goodman Of 4s1 North Fifteenth street,
South Omaha, was killed yesterday morn
ing at o'clock as she sat rocking her
14-month-old babe on the front porch OF
the home OF George De Vol of Bellevue,
with whom she and her husband were
visiting over Sunday. The bullet, which
was twenty-five short. lodged in the
base Of Mrs. Goodman's brain and pro-
duced instantaneous death.
Shooting Accidental.
That the shooting was accidental ap-
peared from the fact that the young
Meyers boy was carrying the gun over
his shoulder at the time the weapon was
discharged. What caused the discharge
of the gun could not well be accounted
for yesterday morning, although it is
surmised that the weapon had been left
cooked by the boy, who was hunting in
the garden when the accident occurred.

MILK PRICE GOES UP
Milk will sell to the consumer
in Chicago for 10 cents a quart
this winter.
This became practically certain
today when the milk dealers an
nounced that because of the new
pure milk ordinance passed by the
council producers were put to
greater expense and had raised
the price to dealers 10 cents per
hundred pounds.
1t is not to be expected that the
dealers will stand the increase
without soaking some of it on the
consumers. The ordinance is one
of the best little pretexts the deal
erS have had in some time.
The producers cannot raise the
price unless permitted to do so by
the distributors. Last year the
producers wished to charge a
small increase, but the Borden
