S. of i-i-rope Proposed By MARK SI I.MVAN. For making dear a fundamental fact about Europe which lies at the heart of many of its difficulties there is no better means than to elaborate a device once used by H. G. Wells for the same explanatory purpose. Imagine an American living in In dianapolis about to take a trip to Boston; or an American living in San t^yancisco about to take a trip to Des ^W.ines; or an American living in New Orleans about to take a trip to Phila delphia: or an American living in St. I.ouls about to take a trip to New | York. Each of these trips is from 1,000 to 1.500 miles or thereabouts in length. Each of them takes from 24 to 36 hours, or thereabouts. To an Amer ican such a trip presents no concern whatever. He packs his dress suit rase, he goes to the station, he gets aboard his train, and in due course he is delivered in the midst of the dtv in which is w'.ants t(»be. European Travel Different. But imagine a European wanting to make a business trip of the same length—a Londoner, let us say, want ing to do business in Hungary. First of all. the Londoner must equip him self with a passport. He must go to the appropriate government office at least once, and perhaps oftener. He must give details of his age, parents, place of birth, color of eyes, shape of chin, contour of nose. He must then, if he has not already done so. go to a photographer, have a picture taken and deliver three copies of it to the government—one to be pasted on his passport and the others to be kept for use In such ways as in g< riius governments hnve devised to check the theft or other improper use of passports. All this will have taken the intend ing traveler not less than a full day. it were merely one full day—if you uld start in the morning and com piste it all by sundown, that would not be so bad; actually, one of the annoying features of It all Is that it consumes portions of several dif ferent days. Next, the intending traveler must take this passport around and have it (Turn to Page Nine. Column One.) Bigg3 Is Freed Without Doing Time in Prison Parole Board Makes No Public Announcement of Action —Served 14- Months in Jail. Manford K. Higgs, who was sen tenced to serve a term of from two to five years for embezzlement, was recently paroled, although ‘‘he never spent a (lay” at the penltfntiary, his confinement being in the county jail. Higgs' parole came as a surprise to his friends in Omaha. Even the newspaper* were not told of It until Higgs made his appearance In the county Jail Friday wearing a new suit of clothes and a straw hat. For snrpe unknown reason. Higgs' k name was not made public by the ~ > hoard. Biggs told county jail attaches that ha was doing "housekeeping wrork,” implying that he was out of a job. He said he was picking cherries for recrea tion. Biggs was arrested for embezzling $12 ,500 from the Omaha Ice and Cold Ktorage company, of which he was treasurer. He was a Iso treasurer of the Third Church of Christ, Scientist. While In jail Biggs frustrated a jail break. In which Fred Brown, Benson chain man, serving a life term, was tlie ringleader. Biggs was slugged In the head with a sharp instrument hy Brown. For this reason he pleaded for a parole. Biggs record at the county jail shows that he was incarcerated for 11 months. While in jail Biggs was appointed a. "trusty” and had charge of the hooks Rnd also uniforms given new prisoners. Biggs never wore the jail uniform or garment and was never locked in a cell. Biggs was called the "Samaritan" of the jail by men who were dis charged because Biggs always saw to it that they w-pre properly clothed when they were discharged. Two young girls located hy police nt the time Biggs was arrested told tales of rides in his “big red automo bile" and parties he had given for them They told how easy he was wilh his money and of the fltje gifts Ji>- lavished nn them. , Hair Fnl in Rescue From I filler Wrecked Auto sic-i-ltil DUpatrh to The Omaha lire. laike Andes.

Leviathan Marks New Milepost in Deep Sea Craft M iiilen Voyage of Giant Liner Contrasted With Passage at Time of Civil War. Special nUpntch to The Omaha Bee. Boston. Mass., July 7.—“Arrived at Pierrepont Stores. Brooklyn, North German Brig Fortuna, Captain Sode mann, London to New York, 365 hgils. sugar, 100 hhls. root ginger, 25 tons iron rails. Consignee. Funch. Edy & Co., William Street.” The above item appeared in “Ship News" in The New Y'ork Herald of July 10, 1S69. The reader who noted the “sail ings” from American ports in any newspaper which devotes space *o “ship news" on the morning of June 20. 1923, discovered that the “S. S. Leviathan” sailed from Boston on the afternoon of June 19. The Omaha Bee correspondent en tered the port of New York as the only passenger on the Fortuna when that sturdy old tub passed quarantine on the July morning 54 years ago. He was also one of the passengers on the Leviathan when she sailed through ihe tea-stained waters of Boston ha bor on June 19, 1923. Tw o Vessels—Like and Inlike. There is a similarity and a differ ence between the two vessels. The similarity lies in the fact that both are, or were, products of German shipyards. The difference is every thing else. In the social hall of the Leviathan is a mantelpiece almost wide enough and broad enough to accommodate the Fortuna as an orna ment. There is room enough in any one of the staterooms of the B deci^ of the Leviathan to house the entire personnel of the Fortuna, including captain, mate, carpenter, stowaway and passenger—13 in all—and at the .ante time furnish ample space for the captain to work out his reckon ing. Yet in 1869 the American merchant marine would not have neglected the opportunity to add to Itself even so humble a tub os that Nordeutscher brig the fortuna, which made the run from London to Brooklyn In 43 days! But the. German owners of the Fortuna were not In the market for the sale of the brig, and, besides, the United State* shipping laws would not permit the registry of a foreign-built vessel unless she had been wrecked and repaired In an American shipyard. When the Fortuna hoisted her flag and sailed out of the Jtlver Thamea there was not a single American flag at the peak of a solitary ship In all that vast array of tonnage between the Nore and the Victoria docks on the Thames. There was no American merchant marine in 1869. A Big Advertisement. When the United States look over the Vaterland and changed its name to the Leviathan it was the pride of liie German merchant fleet. It was converted into a transport, and literally thousands of the boys of the A. E. F. were conveyed to Brest, on the French side of the Atlantic. In It. The American doughboy is a souvenir hunter by nature. What he did to the fittings which still remained (Turn to f’nxe Two, Column fltt.) Former Engineer Dies San Francisco. Cal., July 7.—MaJ.

Approval of Naval Pact Welcomed Uncertainty Regarding Dis position of American Fight ing Ships Dispelled by Ac tion of French Chamber. Big Diplomatic Victory By Amociatol Prf**. Washington, July 7.—Word that the French chamber of deputies had rati fied the naval limitation treaty was received here as one of the most en couraging pieces of news that has reached Washington from abroad for many a day. For many reasons, not all of which have been apparent on the surface of events, favorable ac tion by France has been awaited with unusual concern. Although the French senate still must give Its as sent before the circle of ratifying powers Is complete, there appears to be little apprehension among Ameri can officials of serious opposition or delay in that quarter. Foremost among the causes for gratification here is that French ac ceptance of the treaty will put the cap sheaf on the most porteltous diplomatic undertakings of the Har ding administration by actually giv ing vitality to Washington confer ence plan to end competitive building of first line ships of war. All the other signatories, Great Britain, Japan, Italy and the tJnlted States, already have ratified and are await ing only the pledge of France to put the Washington program into effect. I ncertainty Cleared I'p. Beyond this, there le a measurable degree of relief among practical navy men at the prospect that the uncer tainty which has surrounded Ameri can naval policy for more than a year soon may he cleared away and the expense of keeping in a state of suspended animation, naval units des tined to be scrapped, may be erased from the balance sheet. A compre hensive plan for putting the new pro gram into effect, including details of scrapping the discarded vessels, has been on tile in the Navy department for months awaiting the word of exe cution. Still another element contributed to the favorable reaction aroused here by the French element, and an ele ment of which officials will say little, lies in ttie unusual state of world diplomacy. During the last few month* It has been an open secret ifi diplomatic circles, at least, that the delay of France was looked upon as a possible factor in the general policy it has followed In dealings with its allies. Again and again French statesmen have denied that failure to ratify the treaty had any connection with the French effort to bring (treat Britain to Its way of thinking about the Ruhr, but the denials have not serve,) to entirely «et at rest specula tion on the part of diplomatic repre sentatives of other powers. Hints Given France. It is certain that during the long wait for French approval of the Washington agreement, the other signatories found means to let their disappointment become well under stood at Paris. In some quarters It was suggested that a broad hint as to the attitude of Japan was con veyed to the French capital less than a week ago by a story amnnat ing from Tokio, to the effect that the Japanese government expected to ap prom h the t'nlted States and Great Britain on the subject of reducing the five-power treaty to a three-pow er basis. ' It is assumed here that any such plan now will disappear If the action 'of the French chamber really re fleets a purpose to complete ratifl j cation. There are some officials who are not entirely confident that the French senate will take the requisite (Turn to l*»ae Seven. Column Thrre.) Man, 60, Beheaded by Train Near Seottsbluff, Neb.

Zero Hour for Dishwashers Is Jerry Howard’s Proudest Moment Special DUpnlrh to The Omnhn Bee. JJncoln, July 7—Jprry Howard of Omaha, the governor's new labor In- j vestigntor for the metrniiolls, was busy prior to the reception at the governor!* residence describing the proudest moment of hi* life" This particular fiO seconds was only a few days ago at 10:10 In the evening In the kitchen of the Omahg Country club. "Exactly at that moment," asserted Mr. Howard, "I steppad Into the kitchen of Ihn Country club and an nounced that I was Jerry Howard. Omaha’s new labor Investigator, and wished speech wllh the president of the otgaulzntlon. "In a few minutes the president ap peared and I Informed him that (he zero hotir for dishwashing was 10 and It was JO minutes past JO, Needless to say, there wits no more dlshwash lng In the Country club that evening, unless the wives rtf ths members did It." With this description completed, Mr. Howard, with his first month's pay check cashed and the money re pf»sing In his pocket, ordered a kick less beer bartender to produce an other round of the remnants of the pre-Volstead days. “Believe me, I've told some of those big guys up there that I didn't come to Omaha on n load of hay,” he affirmed. The only bit of sadness in connec tion with Mr. Howard's new position is Governor Bryan's failure to release to the press a copy of Mr. Howard’s review of labor conditions as he found them in Omaha. "It would have read like n novel/* Mr. Howard asserted with a twinge of wistful pride. The governor, when he was asked for Mr. Howard’s masterpiece, said “III let the newspapers have it when I conclude rending It; but I can f promise that 1 11 ever complete the report/* , t Man, 702, U fio Started to Climb Pikes Peak Last Friday Missing Colorado Springs, Colo., July 7.— Pat Murphy, 102, oldest man in Colo rado and the oldest Knight of Colum bus in the world, is missing, whether on the rugged slope of Pikes peak, which he planned to climb in realiza tion of a lifelong ambition, or else where is not yet known.

Whipping Boss Guilty of Murder: V Penalty 20 Years Thomas Higginbotham Is Con victed of Deatli of South Dakota Youth in Florida Convict Camp, Lake City, Fla.. July 7.—Thomas Walter Higginbotham late today was found guilty of murder of Martin Tabert of North Dakota In the second degree, by a Jury here. The jury was out one hour and 20 minutes. Higginbotham was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. He was re leased on $10,000 bond pending hear ing of appeal.

Congressman John II. Morehead of Falls City was the only real demo cratic medicine mixer present at the reception, admittedly a forerunner of an attempt of the Bryan brothers to gain control of the Nebraska delega tion at the next democratic national convention.
