DISAGREE ON NAVAL BILL Washington, Aug. 7.—National de- fense legislation in congress is ap- proaching compietion. Today the coneference committee on the army appropriation bill supmitted a com- plete agreement and the conferees on the naval bill voted to disagree on the big construction program and the per- sonnel increases, the only remaining points of dispute in that measure, so that the issues might be referred back for quick settlement by the two houses. i Members of the house, the majorit of whom are away on vacation, will be called back to Washington next week for a vote on the building and personnel sections of the naval bill. Representative Padgett, chairman of the house committee said he would submit the conference report Thurs- day and call it up the following Tues- day or Wednesday for action. For Sixty-six Vessels, President Wilson, Navy depart- ment officials and other adequate de- fense champions of the administration are expected to make a determine effort to induce house leaders to yield to the senate program for construc- tion of sixty-six vessels, eight of them to be capital ships durin{ 1917. The house provided for only five capital ships. If it votes to insist on its original provisions, it is , the senate conferees will offer to give up the three-yeag continuing program in the senate bill as an inducement to house leaders to reconsider and ac- cept the big program for the first year, Agreement was reached by the con- ferees on administrative features of the personnel section, but they could nbt get together on the question of increases in the enlisted strength. The administration is anxious that the larger senate authorizations in this section also be accepted. The state provided for a total enlisted strength of 74,000 and the house for only 61,000. Plans for Promotion. Secretary Daniels’ ‘plan for promo- tion of navy officers by selection in- stead of by seniority was accepted, but was so amended that it would not apply to fficers Iwer than the rank of commander. Provision is made for a board of nin irals to pass on promotions and six must agree in each case. It also was agreed that captains who are not gromoted before reaching the age of 57 shall be retired, and that commanders not promoted, be re- tired at 45 and lieutenant command- ers at 40. The conferees raised the general retiring age limit from 62 to years. Senator Chamberlain will call up the army appropriation report in the senate tomorrow, The bill, as agreed on, carried $276,597,000, or $85,000,000 in excess of the house bill. A report had been delayed several days while e War department made an unsuc- cessful effrt to induce the house con- ferees to recede from their insistence on the Hay amendment making re- tired officers exem‘rt from provisions of the military code.

All druggists.—Ady, Every nation on the globe has con- tributed at least one new act to the Ringling Brothers’ circus this season. From the tremendous fairyland spec- tacle, “Cinderella,” which opens the performance, to the final hippodrome races, there is little that is not ab- solutely novel to the spectator. The big fairy tale production introduces a cast of more than 1,000 characters and the arenic numbers embrace al- most 400 actors. Thus this season’s main tent exhibition is the most ex- tensive ever offered by the Ringling Brothers. There is Mlle. Lilly Leitzel, who hails from Prague, Bohemia. She weighs less than 100 pounds, is not get 20 years old, yet is conceded to e the greatest of women aerialists. From Iceland comes Johannes Joseff- son and his stalwart company of wrestlers in exhibitions of “glima,” the Norseman's methed of self-de- fense. Among the scores of daring riding acts none contains more thrills than that introduced by Antonio Zin- garo and his band of gypsies. The entire tribe pitches camp in the great main tent and give exhibitions of the most startling nature. ‘Other um&ue equestrian acts are those in- troduced by the Silas Green family in comedy riding, and the Lloyds in the rides of all nations. Birdie Ford, who performs the tango and other dances on a bounding wire, appears in the same number with Mijares, the great South American slack wire bal- ancer. Ernest Clark, whose triple and quadruple somersaults from bar to hands has never been accomplished by any past or present circus cham- ion, will be but one of fifty aerial- ists who will appear. There is the {lguleyl troupe who juggle human eings, Qualiano’s band of Arabs, a company of thirty Chinese mid-air athletes and scores of other splendid artists. Aside from men and women artists there will be Alf. Loyal's won- derful dogs, including “Toque,” a canine who leaps like a man, catches knives in his mouth while riding a EDITORS DEPART FROM GRAND ISLAND Great Newspaper Family Nebraska Gets Under Way for Journey.

President Davis and Secretary John were busy throughout the morning, registering members and assigning them to berths, The train is provided with all con- veniences and is in charge of General Passenger Agents Kaufman and Whitehead of the Burlington.

PUBLIC MUST KNOW ABOUT GASOLINE State Inspector Harman Posts Rules that Tank Merchants Must Follow. “HOOKIES” PUT UNDER BAN (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Aug. 7.—(Special.)—State Food and Oil Inspector Harman an- nounced today that his department will proceed to wage a campaign for better gasoline. He says that the nresent period is an imoprtant one ecause of the heavy demand for the ariicles, but he believes that cheaper asoline or rather a good grade of zasoline at a cheaper price is on its !way and that within the next ten days the price will be down two | cents at least. The Omaha situation is getting {down to better conditions and deal- ers are showing an inclination to comply with the law regarding post- ing of notices showing the grade of gasoline sold. However, inspectors | discovered two dealers last week who | were selling gasoline at two prices. One tank sold at 20 cents and another at 23 cents. A great many users of | oil took it for granted that, the higher | priced gasoline was a better grade, | when according to the Commission | it was all the same. These dealers| from now on will have but the one price of 20 cents. “Down with the hookies,” will be oneof the war cries which oil inspec- tors will use in their efforts to give gasoline users good goods. These are the fellows, who sell gasoline on the side and have no special ar- rangements for handling the oil. Wholesalers will be compelled to furnish retailers with the grade of gasoline sold and no cars of gasoline will be inspected that show a test of less than 54. The following rules and regulations governing the proper branding of gas- oline when sold from self-measuring pumps, will be enforced: Rule No. 1. When self-measuring pumps or underground tanks are used in the sale of gasoline such tanks must be branded with the word “Gasoline” and also show the de- grees of specific gravity a Beaume hydrometer, sa in plain printed lett one-half inches in helght. Rule No, 2. It is also ruled that all wholesale concerns selling gasoline to re- tailers must either brand or furnish proper branding to each retailer to whom they sell gasoline, and sald retafler, when offering for gale or having In his possession gasoline which is not branded in accordance with the law, will be subject to the penalty of the law. Rule No. 8. It s further ruled that any product purporting to be gasoline that does not show at least 64 degrees specific gravity as measured by the Beaume hydrometer, will be deemed to be adulterated, and all inspectors are instructed to reject the same, and said product cannot be sold in the state of Nebraska for either power or illuminating purposes.
