Germans Loot Ruhr Shops as French Watch olice Put Up Little Resist ance Against Rioters Who Clamor for Food and Clothes. By Associated Press. Dusseldorf, Oct. 13.—Fifty or more stores were sacked of food and cloth ing in Dusseldorf during the day by unemployed and lawless elements, and t ie looting continued tonight, almost unhindered, except by a few resoluto but quickly vanquished store owners end shopkeepers. Pillaging likewise is : .‘ported from many other parts of tha Ruhr. The French troops at the request of -1* city authorities took over protec tion of the public buildings, because since the French disbanded the security ! olice, there remain only 200 blue police, who are* able to do little : gainst the plunderers. French armor • '1 cars and cavalry frequently cleared "te streets today but the crowds scat t ■-•red only to gather again when the troops passed. The French have also placed de • ‘.chments to guard the building where tiie allied personnel are employed, but i ‘herwlse have adopted a strict "hands ■ ft” policy. The German population in general showed an apathetic at titude or fbund the scenes amusing, i o one even trying to dissuade the looters from breaking open the stores ' nd emptying them of merchandise. Many of the half hundred stores entered were stripped completely. Pillagers this afternoon broke into one department store in tho heart of the city and carried off about 300 suits of clothes and a large amount of other merchandise. One looter came out currying a lavender suit of high visibility, which he tried on in the presence of a laughing crowd at the foot of the Von Molkte statue. This attitude of disinterested amuse ^^nent was adopted even by scores of French soldiers who mingled with the Germans. The shopowners were the only ones who resisted; some of them were women, who threw handfuls of flour and. pepper in the faces of the advance guard of looters, but this insrely delayed matters for a moment. As the success of the plundering movement became certain, the looters were well reinforced and by afternoon the pillaging became more widespread and systematic. Plundering is reported from Duisburg, Buer; Bochum, Essen, Cologne and a number of small towns, like Neu stadt In the French area, where Ger man police fired, wounding 11. The situation at Duisburg became more menacing with the complete shutdown of II large factories employing about 100,000 operatives. Family of Five Storks at Lake Near Sargent Callaway, Neb., Oct.

Hindu Students to Spread Nebraska Learning in India on Graduation From State University - m. Four Members of Race, One a Cousin of a Maharajah, Pursue Studies at Uni* versity Place. By H. R. PETERS. Staff Correspondent of The Omaha Bee. j Lincoln, Oct. IS.—No one who has learned that there are five Hindu stu dents in residence at the University of Nebraska can help asking himself a host of questions—why did they come here? What are they going to do after they complete their work? What sort of fellows are they? Do they like American universities? I asked more than one person on the campus without obtaining satis factory answers and finally sought out Teshwantrao P. Bhosale of Kol hapur, India, ns the fountainhead of all information on the subject. He was finally run to ground in the office o$ a professor of the col lege of agriculture, where he was busy typewriting one of the many manuscripts that he submits to American publications. ‘How did you happen to come ?0 the University of Nebraska?” I ask ed, "and are you responsible for four more of your countrymen's coming here?” Evades Question. Ho smiled—in fact he is smiling most of the time unless you happen on the subject Of native rule in India or his future work, and then his thin lips compress Into a narrow line. With a deprecatory wave of his hand he evaded the first question. "I will tell you about myself If you really want to know,” be replied, "but my countrymen would not like me to say th'ngg about them. That is their own business. "Let's go see them, then, and find out,” I suggested, and after a few minutes urging he courteously con sented to leave his work and accom pany me. As we bumped and pitched our way downtown in one of Lincoln’s four-wheeled street cars he explained his presence in the college of agri culture, where he has been a stu dent since January of last year.

This Is shown by a copy of the memorable issue of the T'lster County Gazette for January 2, 1800, pub lished by Samuel Freer of Kingston, N. Y. The paper, more than 123 years old, and only slightly yellowed with age, has recently come Into the pos session of J. M. Kimmel of this city. The quaint old country newspaper vividly Illustrates the difference be tween the papers of that day and this. The items ars evidently printed In the paper in the order they came to the editor, and the more recent news appears on the Inside pages. The account of the official announce ment of Washington’s death, made by John Marshall to the house -of repre sentatives, Is on page 2; the story of his funeral Is on page 3. The nearest thing to a headline In the paper is the simple caption, •’Washington Entombed," which, one column wide, in type no larger than the other heads, opens the story of the funeral. The resounding adjectives and phrases of the rural paper suggest the difference made In journalistic style by 123 years. The story opens: "On Wednesday last the mortal |>art of Washington the Great—the father of hia country and the friend of man, was consigned to the tomb with sol emn honors and funeral pomp. "A multitude of persons assembled from many miles around Mount Ver non, the choice abode of the Illustrious chief. There were the groves—the spacious avenues, the beautiful and sublime scenes, the noble mansion, hut alas! the august Inhabitant was now no more. "That great soud was gone! His mortal part was there Indeed; but ah, how affecting! how awful the specta cle of such worth and greatness, thus, to mortal eyes fallen! yea, fallen! fallen." The only local news In this paper Is to be gleaned from legal notices Despondent Man Slashes Throat; Drinking for Week Marvin E. Higgins, despondent, slashed his throut with a pocketknlfe early last evening In his room at .211 South Twenty-aixth avenue. He was taken to central police stu tion, where his wound was dressed and he was held.

Most merchants make it plain that they would rather exchange their goods for farm prod uce than for money.

Cash will not be re fused.’’ wrote the best letter, go I picked this university." "And is that the way the others did it?” I asked. "You wait and ask them,’’ he re plied. "I really don’t know." Letter to Maharajah. As he spoke, the car bumped around the corner and some letters fell from his hand. I stooped to pick them up and could not help noticing the address of one of them. It was destined for a maharajah of India. ’Hello," I exclaimed. “You have some pretty dlst.nguished friends back In your own country.” He Instantly became serious. “I don't think you'd better say anything about that," he urged, but when I was Insistent he told me that the maharajah was a cousin, alhough he had never mentioned It, as he did not care to gain a place In the uni versty on the strength of titled re lations. "I have no title myself, you see," he snid. "although my father is quite u distinguished man and has trans lated a number of books from Sanskrit into English." Arrived down town, we walked to one of thp many boarding houses that encircle the university campus and found two of his four coutnrymen— N'ogendranath Chaudhury of Calcutta. Ilengal, and Parbhubhal L. i’atel of ’ Surat. Hecks Master's Degree. • Chaudhury, a serious chap who got a degree front a native university eev eral years ago. is in the department of social science. He plans to com plete the work there with a bachelor of arts degree and then take n mas ter's degree. That will probably keep him here three years, after which he is going to Calcutta to teach. Patel, like Bhosalo, is taking agri culture. He came here this semester with Chaudhury, whom he met In Chicago last summer, H.s work com pleted, he plans to take part in the work of the Indian government. These men, as well as J. K. Ghosh of Calcutta and It. Vatodaker of Bom bay, the other members of the quartet, came to Nebraska largely because of graduates from the University of Ne braska who are now located in India. Furthermore, Nebraska is on the list of universities recognized by the In dian government, and that means a good deal. More than 80 Hindus who are studying in America met In Chicago last summer, according to Chaudhury, and that 1* where the four men be came acquainted. Fngtneering Student. Vatodaker It a student of electrical engineering and Ghosh has chosen chemistry as his subject. Both men have been tn America but a short time, yet nil five speak Kngl.sh well, as it is one of the compulsory sub jects in the educational program of the Indian upper classes. All of these foreign visitors are enthuaiastlc about the university and seem to be getting along splendidly. As for courtesy, they could teach many an American undergraduate a good lesson.

Dozens of witnesses were called; behind closed doors and questioned, j Persons from all walks of life were I questioned. Governor Walton's office ! probably will be ihe first against which specific charges will be brought, j it was Indicated tonight. Charges are I to be made in the house next week, according to several members of the legislature. Governor Walton tried today to ob tain from Attorney General Short the services of C. W. King, assistant at torney general, as a legal adviser to replace Aldrich Blake, ousted counsel lor. Short said it was unlikely a spe cial counsellor from his office would be assigned to the governor, as King has been sent to Washington to pre sent another case to the supreme j court. The attorney general's office, however. Short said, is at the dis posal of Governor Walton. "Governor AValton, as chief execu tive, has been an utter failure,” Dr. E. T.

"Further than wicked abuse of the state's resources to satisfy his po litical friends, the governor has no policy.” P^ ■ and Bynum came-un der the Walton ax Friday n.ght.

He passed them without a word or look of recognition and they stood watching him wist fully until he disappeared into the - lieriff's office.

She finally broke down and cried Hitcriy when told that she and her family would not be permitted to return to the farm tonight.

Jerry Lana of Hurrah, Okl.. broth cr of the dead man, arrived In Sew an this afternoon. In order to get s train for the nprth at Oklahoma City he had been forced to make a 50 mll< detour, floods having swept out nu meroua bridges In his part of the state. After a talk with the county at torney he announced that funeral services would be held tomorrow morning. Burial will be at Milford. As he came In _lo the room the younger children, when told who he was, shrank away, but Frank who recalls the day when he worked for the Vajgrts, stayed where he was. Jerry Is ‘‘Different.” "He's different from Anton.” he said fiercely. "He was always kind and good.

The rapid changes in the confession have left them bewildered. A number believe! Vajgrt guilty, but the confession of his wife has made them change. One prominent citizen, when naked if the resider.'s of Milford would ilk* to see the Vajgrts punished, said, "One faction believed Lana got what was coming to him and wouldn't mind If they got off; and another Is of the opinion that they should be made to suffer for their crime. "No one here, so far as I know, knew any member of the family ex cept the father. They never came to town and he only came occasionally to make purchases.
