US. Will Inquire Of
Germany How Subsea
Commander Punished

Washington, July 1.-The State
department is preparing to make a
formal inquiry Of the German gov
eminent as to what punishment was
inflicted upon the submarine com.
mander who torpedoed the channel
steamer Sussex. An informal in
quiry through Ambassador Gerard
has brought no response.
In admitting that the Sussex was
attacked by mistake, Germany an
nounced that the submarine COM
rnander had been appropriately pun
ished" and promised reparation. Then
followed the exchange Of notes which
resulted in the abandonment Of what
the United States denounced as H.
legal and inhuman methods Of sub
marine warfare.
Mr.. Gerard was instructed to ask
informally how the officer responsible
for the Sussex tragedy had been dealt
with, but no steps toward final dis
position Of the case were taken pend
ing a demonstration by time that the
promise of a change in practices
would be carried out

Washington, July 1.-The State
department was officially advised to-
day that gold and silver bullion belong
ing to Americans and seized by local
Mexican authorities at Manzillo to-
tailed nearly 100000. The seizures

the country. There have been no indi-
cations that the local authorities acted
on instructions from Mexico City, but
no reply has been received to the rep
reservations made several days ago to

M'KINLEY CLUB TO
HOLD BIG MEETING
Speaker Of National Promi-
nence May Attend Ratifica-
ton Gathering.
WILL SING CAMPAIGN SONGS

The Mckinley club is preparing for
a big ratification meeting to be held
at the Hotel Rome in the next few
weeks. 1t may be that some speaker
of national prominence will be pres
ent, although it is likely that just Ne
braska men will be asked to speak.
A novel feature of the affair will be
some original campaign songs, and,
especially, one dedicated to Mr..
Hughes by a quartet which is being
organized by Joe Marrow, bailiff in
the district court. 1t is the purpose
of the committee in charge to have all
the candidates for federal, state and
county Offices invited to the meeting,
which will be in the nature Of a recep-
ton, as we'll as ratification for the
nominees of the party.
The Mckinley club is preparing to
organize Hughes and Fairbanks clubs
throughout the city and state, working
in connection with the National Re-
publican league, of which John Hays
Hammond is president.
II will be Of interest to Omaha peo-
pie to know that Mr.. Hammond, who
is now one of the most famous min
ing engineers in the world, started
in the business at the Omaha smelter
several years ago. Talking with Mr..
Byrne, president of the Mckinley
club, at the national republican con-
vention in Chicago a few weeks ago,
Mr.. Hammond remarked this fact
stating that he had a very warm spot
in his heart for Omaha. Mr.. Ham
mond promised to try to arrange his
affairs so that he could speak here
before the Mckinley club later in the
campaign.

You can make delightful shampoo with

If you get from your druggist a package of

which have swept over Ireland, Eng
land and the European continent
The first intimation of trouble on
the other side of the ocean came with
the announcement of the Western
Union Telegraph company that owing
to severe storms in Great Britain and
Ireland telegraph service virtually is
suspended, the result of which is that
we are compelled to suspend our ca
bic letter service to all points until
further advised"
At the offices of the Commercial Ca
BILE company it was said that cable
messages were going through as
usual, but subject to delay by the
weather conditions. as well as by CEN
eors
Some of the cable lines across tn.
Atlantic make their landings inside of
Ballinskelligs bay and on Valentia
island, on the west coast of Ireland,
and telegraph lines from these points
run overland to Wexford and Dublin.
1t was said at the cable Offices that
the storm had been heaviest in Ire
land and that large per cent of the
telegraph lines there, especially near
the coast, were down.
Land telegraph lines connecting the
cable stations in England with Lon
don and other cities are affected by
the storm.

COUNTERFEIT
MONEY IN
WISCONSIN

Within the memory of many living
residents of Wisconsin, it was dan
gerous matter to accept any paper
money. The country was flooded from
one end to the other with counterfeits
and business men were continually en-
barrassed by the necessity of refusing
to accept bills with which they were
unfamiliar. An interesting evidence
of this chaotic state of our currency
has just come into the possession O.
the Wisconsin Historical Society. L
is an old volume entitled Hodges
Bank Note Safe Guard, and purport;
to give a fac-simile description O.
every variety of paper currency, SOM
ten thousand in all, issued in the Unit
ed States and Canada, at the time o.
it's publication. 1t modestly claims tt
be the most effectual detector of spur
ious, altered and counterfeit bills ever
published. Without a doubt it served
it's purpose well, and saved it's owners
from frequent loss.

Persia when it was torpedoed in the
Mediterranean last Thursday, has ar
rived in Alexandria. Mr. Grant, so
far as is known, is the only American
from whom can come the story of the
Persia's sinking. He gave a CORE
spondent the most detailed account
yet received of the disaster
Il was in the dining saloon of the
Persia at 1:05 p. m.," he said. Il had
just finished my soup and the stew

my second course, when a terrific ex-
plosion occurred
THE saloon became filled with
smoke, broken glass and steam from
the boiler, which appeared to have
burst. There was no panic on board
We went on deck as though we were
at drill, and reported at the lifeboats
on the starbOard side, as the vessel
had listed to port. l chung to the rail

oil Captain Sprickly's life belt.
fAs the vessel was then listing so
badly that it was impossible to launch
the starboard boats, slid down the
starboard rail into the water. | got

We rowed about looking for other

"The boats became overloaded and
the occupants were redistributed
Four boats were tied together by their

the more frequented steamship chan

hours. Then we saw a cruiser and
called out: We are EngIishI We ex-
planned that we were survivors of the
Persia and gave directions to the
cruiser as to where the other boats
were. They were soon found and the
occupants were taken off Immediately
by the English sailors.
Robert McNeely, American consul
at Alden, sat at the same table with

MUST
HAVE LICENSES
Copper Tubing for Conveying Milk
Must Replace Iron Pipes-To
Issue Temporary Permits.

The law requiring butter and cheese
from the dairy and food department
went into effect Jan. l. There are
about 1000 cheese factories and 1000
butter factories in the state. The
law, it is believed, will go far in rails
ing the standards of Wisconsin dairy
products.
No cheese or butter factory will be
granted a license under the law until
It has been carefully inspected by a
state Inspector Permits to continue
bushes until it has been officially
inspected will be Issued upon applica-
ion of the manufacturers
Under the former laws governing
cheese and butter factories, the only
recourse the law had in dealing with
iolators of the dairy and food laws,
vas to impose fine. Many manufac-
turers have paid three or more fines.
Although one offense followed another
5he state was powerless to close the
factories. Under the new law, the
plant may be closed upon the first
collation., if it is deemed advisable.
Dairy and food Commissioner Wei
.eg is sending out notifications to
the 5000 plants affected by the law,
his week. It is expected that temp
orary permits will be granted to
nearly all of the factories but the
licenses will not be granted until after
thorough investigation.

WHEN DREAMS
COME True

"When Dreams Come True" the
successful musical comedy that has
been running in New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston and Chicago for the past
year, bears the unique distinction of
being the only play for which failure
was prophesied on account of the story
being too clean and free from suggest
i've and salacious lines. The success
scored by this musical play in the a
bove mentioned cities proves that the
public wants clean entertainment in
the theater.
