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.

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.
Studies Agriculture.

said, ‘‘because when I get back to
India I want to run a model dairy
farm on my estate. Not that I am
neglecting the other courses in the
college, because I’m not, but those
are my plans.
"Of course there is always a chance
that I may go Into the imperial
service, but not as I see It now.
They have been very nice to me In
the college. I have told them what
I wanted to do and they are letting
me go ahead and get what I want.”
He hesitated a moment and then
said, "It’s a fine place, the agricul
tural college, much finer than the
rest of the university, you know.”
“And now, why did I come here?”
he continued. "You’ll never be able
to guess. "I came because of the
letters I received from the univer
sities. You see, when I made up my
mind that I was coming to America
to' study I wrote to about 20 univer
sities, and then I compared the re

American Dollar Is Now World's
Standard of Exchange, Report Shows
The American dollar has become a
standard measure of foreign ex
change, according to a comparison
of foreign exchange quotations as of
October 1 for the years 1921, 1922
! and 1923, made by the Peters Na
tional bank of Omaha.
‘‘Foreign exchange rates appar
ently are subject to a great variation,
and it is diff.cult to make a general
comparative statement," the bank
says, in commenting upon Its tabu
lation.
"However, there is a very notice
able decline In rates of all exchanges
as compared with the par value.
Thus, the American dollar became a
standard measure.
"The English pound Improved con
siderably from October, 1921. French
money bettered from 1821 to 1922, but
dropped a good deal after occupation
of the Ruhr. The Belgian franc suf
fered from the same cause, a still
deeper depreciation.
‘‘The Italian lire shows a slight In
crease in the last two years over the
previous low level. Money of the
neutral states as Scandinavia or
Switzerland, has participated in the
general unsteadiness on the market.
Central European exchanges created
in this period the biggest sensation
with the German mark leading and
with only exception in the Czecho
slovakian crown that accrued on
value.
"Foreign exchange is still a highly
speculative matter.”

Washingtons Death Told in Quaint
Country Paper Preserved by Omahan
No headlines blazoned forth the
death of George Washington to the
public.
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

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.

an indictment charging him with
first degree murder.
Covell la charged by authorities to

Both Lovgren and Lovely wrote

Oklahoma City, Okl., Oct. 1*.—
Working until late tonight, the house

Persons from all walks of life were I

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,

Governor Walton tried today to ob

Short said it was unlikely a spe

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. Bynum, ousted bank commis
sioner, declared in a formal state
ment. "Further than wicked abuse of
the state's resources to satisfy his po
litical friends, the governor has no

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.
Jerry worked for the Vajgrts foi
three years until five years ago, leav
Ing before his eldt-r brother cam<
there for employment. With the ex
caption of cousins living In Belleville
Kan., he Is the only living relativ*
of the slain farm hand.
In an investigation at the farm th«
morning, Constable Hunty unearthed
a barrel of home made wine that had
been buried in a cornfield. Th«
Vajgrts insist that It was Liana's and
that they had nothing to do with It
The majority of a number ol
citizens of Milford who were asked tc
express an opinion of the murder to
day, were noncommittal. 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. Were this a
Bohemian settlement or were Lana to
have relatives here, things would have
been different. Perhaps you had bet
ter say that we are more or less
neutral,"
