Tagging Congress Delays Action on Appropria-
 ton Measures

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Nearly $3,000, 100000 in the hole, the Unit ed States Government began the new fiscal year today with eight big Departments legally penniless because of a tagging Congress.
 Four appropriation bills should have been law at midnight last night but were caught along with the relief measures in the legisla- tive machinery which also prom ised to prevent adjournment until next week.
 Are Penniless
 The eight Departments of the Government that are penniless to- day are the State, Justice, Com merce, Labor, Treasury, Post Of- flee, Agriculture and War.
 Director of the Budget said that if the appropriations are law by next pay day everybody will be satisfied
 One Controversy
 Congressional leaders predicted that the bills would be passed be- fore adjournment today for all De- partments with exception of the War, and have the allotments at the White House. Conferees are still at odds over the provisions of the War Department bill to force retirement of 2,oO0 army officers.

LARD PARTY TO GET PL ANE 10 CARRY SUPPLIES
Eastman Airshiips Are Said to Be Too Small as
 Freighters

Because the five Eastman planes with the Mitchell group of Liard district prospectors are too small to carry any considerable amount of supplies into the mining area, a large aircraft, designed particular ly for cargo transportation as we'll as passenger traffic, will be brought from Detroit, Mich, to Juneau by the middle of this month, J. J. Harrigan, aviation pilot with the Mitchell party, said this morning just before he sailed south on the steamship Princess Louise.
 To Take Train at Vancouver
 MT. Harrigan, who came to Ju- neau Wednesday night with Thomas M. Mitchell, head of the gold seek CTS, and Aerial Pilot E. c. Burton, in one of the Eastman planes from the party's base at Tulsequah, B.C.. will disembark from the Louise at Vancouver, B. c. From there, he will travel by rail to Detroit.
 Better Facilities Needed
 The Eastman planes, it is said, will not be able to transport sup plies and equipment from Tulse- quah to the Lizard as fast as they will be needed when all the mem bers of the Mitchell party, which numbers 35 persons, shall have be- come engaged in prospecting &C., tivities.
 MT. Mitchell and MT. Burton are still in Juneau. Their Eastman plane is moored at the hangar of the Alaska Southern Airways. They are expected to return to Tulse- quah tomorrow.

 Farley pointed out that Roose- velt's majority was increased with each vote taken and said he be- lieved everything was going alright and number of States would break over after the first ballot, but they didn't, but "the last vote was nearly up to what predicted the first ballot would be-"

CAUCUS CALLED BY TWO STATES
 VOTING GARNER
Speaker Declines to Com- ment on Texas-Cali-
 fornia Caucus Today
BELIEVED AIM IS TO UNITE WITH ROOSEVELT
Hawes Pre- diets Missouri Swing to Roosevelt and
 He Will Be Nominee

WASHINGTON, July 1.- RumOrs gained ground here this afternoon that a Ro0se- velt- Garner ticket was in the making at the Democratic Convention at Chicago while t h e Democrats are resting there after their arduOus ses- sion of yesterday and last night.
 Speaker Garner refused to make any comment on a eau GUS of the Texas and Cali fOrnia delegations in Chicago. Both of these are pledged to him and voted solidly for him on the first three ballots.
 It is believed here that the caucus was called for the pur- pose of swinging those two States which are needed to nominate Roosevelt, and that managers of the Roosevelt and Garner forces are fixing up a ticket combining them.
 Senator Hawes, Missouri, predicted Gov. Roosevelt will receive all of MissOuri's 36 votes and will be the Presi- dential nominee.

 THREE BALLOTS
Roosevelt Leads Field and Makes Slow Gains on
 First Three Tests
THIRD BALLOT GIVES NEW YORKER 682 VOTES
Convention Sits All Night Without Result-Ad-
 journs Until Tonight

CHICAGO, IL, July 1.-After a tumultous night-long session, the Democratic Convention fell into the tightening grip of a deadlock at dawn today. It took three fruit less ballots for a Presidential nom- inee and then adjourned until to- night to think it over
 Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, far ahead of the field, mustered Q slowly rising majority in each suc- ceeding ballot, but was unable to make the decisive progress that his managers predicted toward the two-thirds needed to nominate.
 Gains Is Votes
 Starting with 666ia votes on the first ballot, which followed rapidly on the roll of States for speeches Seconding the various nominations, Roosevelt accumulated 1852 votes additional by the third ballot. His vote on the second ballot was 677 and on the third it had mounted to 682. Tired from session that began at noon yesterday, with but a short intermission during the dinner hour, the delegates were glad to break their laIbors and ad- journ to their hotels for much needed rest.
 On the third ballot, 1t would have required but 758 bae sts to have nominated, and Rofl1Eelt was 86 short of that figure. sHis manag- CTS were working like beavers among the weary delegates and had made inroads here and there, picking up votes by driblets At the same time, some of the Roose- velt delegations were showing wa vering signs under pounding counter attack of the bloc of fa- vorite sons.
 Missouri Swinging to Roosevelt
 Missouri, pledged to James A. Reed, toppled most of the votes into the Roosevelt column. Gov. w. H. Murray, Oklahoma's favorite son, lasted but one ballot. When he released his delegates they scat tered among the other favorite sons, none of them going into the Roosevelt camp.
 There were definite signs of agi- tation in the Texas and California delegations that voted solidly for

 BETTER T0DAY;

Many Issues Gain One to Two Points Before 3-

NEW YORK, July 1.-Stocks be- gan the last half of the year with distinctly improved tone after a temporary early setback.
 After firm opening the market turned down under the influence of selling in National Biscuit which dropped two points.
 Several other issues were carried off one to two points.
 Many Issues Advance
 Among the issues getting up one to two points above yesterdays close was American Telephona, Consolidated Gas, Public Service of New Jersey, United States Steel, common and preferred; American Can, Tobaccos B, Coca Cola, Un- ion Pacific, Santa Fe, Dupont, Drug and Allied Chemical.
 The market was undoubtedly helped by shorts covering in ad- vance of the three day holiday for the market will be closed tomorrow Sunday and the Fourth.
 Views Of Traders
 A number of traders evidently felt it would be unwise to leave short lines out with the possi- bility of favorable development, particularly at Lausanne during the market holiday.
 Keen interest was manifested in the Democratic National Conven- tion at Chicago and some quarters were inclined to regard the de- velopments as possible market in- fluences.
