STATE GETS MONEY FOR NATIONAL GUARD Lincoln Corporati Fight Shy of aking & Showimg Before the City Board of Equal tion. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 19.—(Special.)—There seems to be a misunderstanding as to whether the republican convention last night authorized the nominees or the state chairman to appoint a secretary and treas- urer of the state central committee records kept by the econve: show that the authority was given to the pominees but the newspaper reports, most of them, have it the other way. Mr. Lindsay inclines to the belief that the con- vention records are correct and will make Do appointments until after a conference with the nominees. “We want men in the places who will be | satisfactory to all concerned,” said Mr Lindsay, “and I think it will not be aif- ficult to find them. It doesn’t matter much how they are appointed. I expect to call the candidates together sometime next week and the matter will be discussed at that time." Nearly all of the delegates to the conven- tion bad departed by noon today. They went home leeling satiafied with the work performéd and confident that the ticket will be a winner. Money for National Guard. Adjutant General Calby has received no- tice that the national apportionment for the Nebraska National guard, which this year amounts to $17,000, will be available after July 1. This means that the state is given credit by the War department for this smount, to be used for equipment and sup- plies for the military force. C. J. Miles, of Hastings, has applied to General Colby for permission to organize an independent company of infantry at Hi ings. Hearing of the complaint of Lloyd Chap- man, of York, against the Inter-State Mut- ual Hail Insurance association of Omaha bas been postponed by Deputy Insurance Auditor Babeock until June 30. Mr. Chap- man insists in his petition to the auditing department that the company is not con- ducting its business in strict accordance with the law. He was given an opportunity to make an appearance on Junme 16, but by general consent of all parties the case was postponed. Amendments to the articles of incorpo- ration of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- cific Rallway company providing for an in- crease of $25,000,000 in the capital stock were flled today in the secretary. of state’s office. The Increase was authorized by the board of directors at a special meeting held in Chicago June 4. The stock now amounts o $75,000,000. Corporations Are Coy. The Lincoln city council, sitting as a Dboard of equalization has suspended oper tions because of its inability to get elther the Lincoln Gas and Electric company or the Lincoln Traction company to appear first for hearing. Both object to the as- sessment as fixed by the tax commissioner, but each company thinks the other should be given the first hearing. The gas com- pany was slated to make a showing today, but at its request the hearing was continued until June 27. The hearing of the traction company, assigoed for tomorrow, has also been continued. Judge Letton of Fairbury t eccupled the bencl¥ fn the Alstrict court in the ab- sence of Judge Frost. He listened today to testimony and argument in several cases in which taxpayers object to paying paving assessments. The plaintifls are Ellen Buzby, Edward P. Holmes, John Bailey, Loulse Alexander, Mrs. F. H. Bohanan, Mary Fitzgerald and Frederick Shepherd. The commissioners of Lancaster county will convene on June 23 as a board of equalization to listen to complaints agalnat the assessment of property for purp s of taxation. Instead of inspecting personally the property vhose value or assessment is in doubt, as has been customary for the board to do in the past, testimony of i terested persons will be taken by the county attorney and the decisions rendered there- trom. The Lincoln City Improvement soci an organization of women, this mornin offered two prizes of $50 and $20 to janitors malntaining the best appearing school grounds during the summer. Sim- llar prizes had already been offered for the best kept private grounds. Governor Savage left for Idaho this morn- Ing, Informing his friends before his de- parture that he intended to inspect some prospective investments in that state. He wiil be absent about a week. Acting Gov- ernor Steele will probably occupy the ex- ecutive chalr a portion of each day until Governor Savage returns.

OPPOSED TG USE OF TOBACCO Bishop Milwaukee Creates Sensation by Pro- nunciamento. Nicholson of MILWAUKEE, June 19.—Bishop Nichol- son of the Milwaukee Episccpal dio- cese has created a semsation among the priests and laity of the dincese by issuing sort of a pronunciamento against the use of tobacco. The pronunciamento is submitted as an | object lesson, and while the bishop com- | the | mends it to the good judgment of without decreeing against the use of tobacco in so many words, nevertheless it has created quite a stir. The bishop maintains that there is rot | one trace of spiritual help or pkysical gain from the use of tobacco, but untold evils|to a have resuited from its use. The extent to which the bishop’s abbor- rence toward tobacco goes it evidenced by the statement that if it is tive that Sir Walter Raleigh, introduced tobacco into England, °tis a pity that the ship that car- ried him did not sink in the ocean.

NEW YORK, June 19.—By the use of a single coat of parafine, what s known es the X-ray burn can be prevented, according tatement of a physiclan of this city. Indiscriminate use of the X-ray in medi- | cal work has been handicapped by this burn, it 1s supposed by the shaft of light driving certain particles of bacteria in the ctmosphere into the parts under the ray. This action can be entirely prevented, It 1s claimed, by applying a coating of melted wax to the skin or by using a wax-coated paper screen before the light. Waeco Charter is Invalid.

A WELSH Local Fifecast Ofclal Woman’s Work in Club and Charity The annual convention of the Nebraska grand chapter, P. E. O, which convened Tuesday, Wedresday and Thursday of this week at Geneva, was cne of the most suc- cessful and profitable meetings of the or- ganization that has yet been held in the state. The twenty-eight chapters that ex- ist in Nebraska were represented by dele- gates from twenty-five different towns, about fifty delegations in all being pre: ent. The town of Geneva presented a boll- day appearance, all the business houses be- ing decorated with yellow and white, while the five-pointed star, the insignia of the order, was in evidence everywhere. Noth- ing was left undone by the hostess chap- ter and residents of Geneva, for the en- tertainment of the visiting women Tuesday afternoon was devoted to the routine business, the evening belng given over to an Informal reception to the de egates. As P. E. O. is a secret soclety, only that part of its business relating to the advancement of its work in the state has been announced. The growth in P. E. O. Interests in Nebraska during the last year has proved a surprise even to its mem- bership, and its extension is credited large- Iy to the efforis of the state organizer, Mrs. Jenale Busch of South Omaba. Many new chapters have been organized and the mem- bership of all increased. Mrs. Carrie R Haneman of Minden, Neb.. president of the supreme grand chapter, and Miss Osmond, editor of the P! E. O. Record, were among the honored guests, in addition to & mosi complimentary attendsnce of lowa mem- bers. While P. E. O. is one of the strongest women's secret societles, comparatively lit- tle is known of it outside of the middle west. The soclety was organized thirty- three years ago in Mount Pleasant, Ia with seven members, and from that begin- ning has grown to an organization that is now represented in almost every state of the union. Its object is three-fold, literary social and philanthropic. The Omaha chapter was organized ten years ago and has an active membership of twenty-five. It holds its meeings fort- nightly at the homes of its members. Miss Carrie Brown is president of the chapter at present. She and Miss Clara B. Mason rep- resented Omaha st the Geneva meeting. where Miss Brown presented a paper on “Herolne Worship."” During the coming year Omaha chapter will devote its efforts to securing furnish- iogs and equipments for ome of the rooins at the new Methodist hospital, which is to be ~knows as “Ella Allen Memorial room,” Mrs Allen baving been one of the former presi- dents of the chaptes Thbe gospel meeting of the Young Women's Christian association will be led on Mon- day evening by Miss Helen Woodsmall, physical director and this probably will be the last meeting she will lead at the as- sociation before leaving Omaba: “The Friendship of Christ” will be the subject and & good choir of gymnasium girls has been aranged for the occasion. The $2.000 toward the buflding fund, to be ®ised by the sasoclation members, bas not et all been pledged and the members de- siring to make pledges are urged to do 0 | s scon as possible. More than half of the amount hes been pledged and it is hoped that the remainder soon will be definitely provided for. An association plcnic at Elmwood park, which is within walking distance of the Leavenworth street car line, is being planned for the Fourth of July and all the members are invited, the only condition being that those intending to go let Miss Woodsmall know before July 1. The tennis court on Harney street is still one of the most popular privileges of the sssociation and large attendance attests the appreciation of the young women whenever the weather will permit. Through the kindness of the principal and faculty of Brownell hall their temnis court has been turned over to the girls of the South branch for their use during the summer. This proved a great help and saved the ex- pense of Btting up & court outside. Tues- day and Thursday evenings have been set aside for tennis for South branch. The Sun Shine club will hold its am- nual pienic on June 10 at Hanscom park.
