 HOLDING CONVENTION

Lincoln, Neb., July 80. Winning the war was the principal issue dis cussed by the state convention of Ne braska republicans, who met here to- day to adopt platform and listen to an address by Chairman William II. Hays, of the republican national com mittee, and other prominent men within the party's ranks.
 Chairman Hays charged that the democratic party had said that pol itics were adjourned" and had then proceeded to practice the most par tisan politics ever attempted by any political party in any period.'
 This is the country's war; 1t is your war, and my war, and the repub- licans appeal to all patriots whatever their politics, to aid in every way pos sible to require that partisanshp be taken out and kept out of the war management" the speaker declared.

 THE TRIGGER WITH STICK
Had Placed Quilts and Pillow on the Floor to Relieve His Fall and Pre- pared All Details Of the Suicide.

Will Long, of Oklahoma, who shot { and killed himself some time early yesterday morning at his little apart
 ment in the rear of Spring street. 1 took no chances that any of the de- tails of his last action would go wrong. So completely effective was the shot with which he killed him self that he tore a large hole in his
 left breast from which his heart was literally blown out of his bod.
 Long had come here some few years ago from Oklahoma. and was dis eased. Little is known of him, aside from that he occupied a little apart ment in the "Kellytown" district, and that J. T. Jones of this city had ire quently helped him along to keep him going.
 Long had apparently given up the hope Of health and had prepared to kill himself with care of detail. He had a shotgun which he had often used about the hillsides in shooting a rabbit or bird for his menu. lie loaded this, and took a position on the floor fer the shooting He had folded quilt and sat on the edge of this so that when his body fell back from the shot he would fall on the folded quilt He also placed pillow at the right spot to catch his head when that went back.
 Then he paced the butt of tho shotgun against a table leg, and the muzzle against his left breast. di- rectly over the heart. He had a stick just the right leneth to discharge the trigger with and this was lying at his side. When Undertaken George Bren- ner was called he had only to pick up bits of the heart that had been blown through the mans body. to add to bringing in the body and eff fects.
 Long was about 40 years of age. spare build had sharp features, and wore his hair cut close. Nothing is known of what Oklahoma city he is from. nor where his relatives may re- side He is at the Gross undertaking parlors

BOYS DEF TODAY
 FOR VANCOUVER
DRAFT BOARD WILL HOLD MEET ING TONIGHT TO ADVANCE SOME OF THE DEFERRED
 CLASS.
Board is Busy With the Classified. tions of the Young Men Just 21 Who Registered Under the Last Call From the Government.

Hoy Riley. William A. Mcknight C. A. Mcknight, Paul Swaney, Jay w. Swaney, Arthur e. Swaney. c. K Bagley, and c. E Wilson, all young men of Garland county, left yester- day for Vancouver, B. C., to enter the government works.

It is there that the shipbuilding and the getting out of wood for the aeroplanes is be- ing done.
 The Garland county draft board will hold a meeting this evening at which time the work of advancing married men will Ibe taken up. The government has ordered that married men, who have no children and whose wives are provided for through any other means than their actual labor for support, shall be brought forward into class l and sent along in the subsequent calls. The order says:
 If registrant has a wife Gbut m children) and there are other sources of support available that the removal or the registrant will not deprive the wife of reasonably adequate support he goes in class 1 as not being in cluded in any other division of the schedule"
 'hocal boards will immediately re- classify or return to district board for their attention all cases of mar ried men whose only claimed depend ent is a wife, providing reclassifica ton has not been made as outlined above"
 So it will be seen that the local board is required to advance all who It appears to the board shall be brought forward. and also to go fur ther and report to the district board all who have not been brought for ward by the local board.
 The young men just turned 21 in July, who have registered, were 167 in total number, of whom the classi- fication of S5 has already been made.

SHIP BUILDING AHEAD
 OF STEEL PRODUCTION.

| Washington. July 30.--iSteel re-
 quirements of the shipping board fol
 the next three months, call for 900.
 900 tons, an increase of 250000 tons
 over the regular monthly schedule foi
 tha tperiod. This increase is desired so as to provide a reserve of 1,330. .000 tons by November.
 The requirements, 1t was learned tonight weer placed before the steel manufacturers Of the country by Di- rector General Schwab of the. emer- gency fleet corporation, at the meet ing held yesterday in Ne wYork. The reserve stock is regarded by MT. Schwab as a stimulus to production and plans have been made to keep it intact
 Allocation of the present reserve of l ,0SO,000 tons Is fairly good, accord ing to shipping boar dofficials, al though several acific coast yards still are in need of steel.
 The steel schedule of the shipping board calls for delivery of 250,0O0 tons monthly, but it was said that request has been made by Mr Schwab that deliveries during August, September and October be increased approxi- mately S0,000 tons monthly This in crease, 1t is believed, will provide reserve for each shipbuilding yard that will act as an incentive to work men in turning out tonnage.

TEN PER CENT GROSS
 TAX IS PROPOSED
TREASURY DEPARTMENT HAS REcoMMEMpEC THE RECOU- BLING OF THE PRESENT
 TAX ON TOBACCO

Washington, July BOA ten per cent tax on gross sales of manufac- lures, producers and importers of aa- tomobiles, piano players grapho- phones, sporting goods, cosmetics, patent medicines, cameras and similar articles, was tentatively agreed upon today by the house ways and means committee, which is drafting the new SS, 00,O00000 revenue bill. The pres ent excise tax on most of these arr ticles ranges around per cent and the increased taxation will produce an immensely greater revenue from these sources, although no estimate was made of the total yield
 Motor trucks will be taxed only half the increased rate. on the ground that they are for business purposes and not in the same class with passenger au- tomobiles.
 The automobile tax was discussed at length. It was felt by some mem bers of the committee that large proportion of automobiles are used for business as we'll as other purposes. but it was agreed that 1t would be i'm possible to lifferentiate. Some of the committee voted against the taxing of motor trucks but the committee finally compromised on tax of five per cent on gross sales on original transactions There was no effort to put tax on gasoline, although such a tax has beer urged.
 There was some discussion by the committee today of the tobacco tax schedule The treasury department had recommended redoubling the present rates on tobacco. The com mittee wants more revenue than this would yield and will decile the in crease later.
 Data laid before the committee showed that consumption Of cigars in this country is decreasing while cig- arettes consumption is mounting rap idly.
