Today The Franc Drops—Look Out. Heartless La Follette. The Sensitive Japanese. Our Third Richest Gives. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE J A bad drop in the value of the French franc, falling below 5 cents, was a dangerous sign for Europe yesterday. What money changers think of the franc tells their opinion of European conditions. And their opinioB is usually close to the fact. They have their hand on the big artery of finance, and that tells the fctory. La Follette is apparently heart less, for he intends to make con gress return to Washington after the conventions, and go on work ing. * If he would he content not to make the poor congressmen work when they would like to be playing and mending their fences, and if he would not run independently for the presidency, La Follette’s re publican friends would be much obliged to him. The progressive Voters’ league of Michigan endorses La Follette for the presidency. But that doesn't mean that he will run. The opinion of some that know La Follette well is that he will not run independently. The result would be that he would elect a democrat, by defeating Coolidge, or that Coolidge would defeat him and the. democrat combined. Neither result would please La Follette nor be good for him politically or phy sically. Japan will celebrate solemnly “in the national spirit movement" the funeral of a Japanese who killed himself as a protest against Ameri can exclusion of Asiatics. It’s the fashion in Japan, or it was in the old days of the Samurai, if your honor was offended to sit on the doorstep of the man that of fended you, and with a sharp knife especially made for the purpose, perform hara-kiri by disembowel ing yourself. We sympathize with the subject of the mikado who thought it necessary to rip open bis abdomen because we won’t accept Asiatica here. But we don't get too much excited about it. Millions of Chinese are shut out from Japan, from which all Chinese labor is excluded. If those Chinese took it into their heads to kill them selves, Japan would say, “Sorry, but we can’t change our laws on that account.” Geoge F. Baker, who Is un doubtedly one of the three richest men in America (some even think he is the. richest), has given $5,000, 000 to Harvard to endow a school of husingss administration. Mr. Baker, who would surely he the world’s richest man if he could pass Henry Ford and John D. Rocke feller, is 84, and a brisk giver of millions. , He gave Cornell $1,835,000, two millions to the Red Cross, one mil lion to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, $500,000 to the New York ' hospital, $700,000 to Columbia uni versity, etc. Just what a “school of business administration” can do remains to be seen. Will it make the sona of very rich men interest themselves in busi ness? Probably not, and that’s for tunate for the country. Too many hereditary millionaires or billion aires would be bad. Reporters, reformers, friends of demooracy and equality, are talk ing about “The millions that will be spent to cheat, the law ' in a recent atrocious Chicago murder. The sons of two rich men murdered a boy whose father also is rich. Money will be spent, of course. Lawyers and alienists will get big fees. But the thing will not run into millions. And the case has had so much publicity that the millions would not be effective even if they were spent. It would be bad for the puhlic frame of mind, bad for all those concerned if there should he any justifiable suspicion of money's in fluence in that particular murder case. It is to be hoped that solemn gwi tlemrn won’t overdo their moraliz ing about the lack of religious edu cation in public schools being re sponsible for crime. It would be easy to compile a list of criminals that have recently gone from the death house to the gallows or the electric chair that never had any thing but religious education. Bootlegging and whisky have more to do with crime and vice among the young than any failure to mix the teaching of arithmetic and religion. American fliers arrived yester day at Kagoshimi, on the Japanese island Kuyshu. And Captain D’Oisy, the Frenchman flying on his own hook, landed from Pekin at Chihli in China on his way to Mukden. Millions of those that read to day’s news ebout this experimental flying will live to cross both oceans in airships that will go and come as regularly as any express train. ^Copyright, 1*24.)

All-Omaha Train to Chicago Put on by Northwestern To Be Made Up of Local Reservation? Exclusively —Four New Fliers to Run to Denver. By virtu* of a rearrangement of trains to me*t tha increased demand for better passenger service between Denver. Omaha and Chicago, Oma bans desiring to go to Chicago now have an exclusively Omaha train at their service. This trein, offered by the North western, leaves Omaha as in the past, at 6 p. m., and arrives in Chicago at 7:25 next morning. It no longer picks up the heavy btiainee* carried to Omaha, from Denver by Union Pacific train No. IS, however. It is made up in Omaha, reserva tions are made for alt its facilities here, and the fact that it waits for no other train make it purely an Omaha-Chicago train, passenger of ficials explain. Union Pacific train No. 1S, which formerly arrived in Omaha from Den ver at 5:15 p. m., now arrives at 3:30 p. m., and its through Pullmans are taken on to Chicago on Norttrwestern train No. 16, which now leaves Union station at. 3:45 p. m. This Northwestern train, which was known as No. 6 until this change, formerly left Omaha at 2 p. m. and gave local service east ot here. It arrived in Chicago it 7 next morning, whereas now, leaving Omaha at 3:45, it arrives in Chicago with its own passengers and the Union Faclflc passengers from Denver at 7:15 in the morning, thus making the run in one hour and 30 minutes faster time. These changes became effective Sunday. Simultaneously with them, four new trains between Chicago and Denver were put into service by the Burlington and by the Northwestern Union Pacific combination, two each way a day. The two new trains westbound pass through Burlington and Union stations here each morn ing, affording Omahans convenient service to Denver, where they arrive the same evening. Thee* n*w trains were put into service to care for the big vacation businee* to th* Rocky mountains. A fifth train, the "Captlal Cities Express," pulled out of Union sta tion Sunday morning on Its inaugural trip, and received heavy patronage. This train, put into service by the Union Pacific, furnishes dally serv ice between Omaha, Lincoln, Topeka and Kansas City. "The Capital Cities Express.” re ceived an entusiastio reception on its first trip," said George Biemtan. as sistant to ths general passenger agent of the Union Pacific system, who rod# th# first train to Kansas City. "At every tow-i hundreds of people were on hand to see th# train and cheer it. Many of th# town* have never had Sunday service be fore. "At Marysville, where the north and southbound 'Capital Cities' trains meet each noon, fully 500 portions were at the station to see them," -, Judge McGill III. Beatrice, Neh.. June 3.—Judge E. O.

Neb., June 3.—The old time, grizzled, weatherbeaten, tnhae eo-ehewing horse trader, who made his way from pillar to post by swap ping hia wares for a profit, has been replaced by the modern flapper.

They were halted near Ames today when police were scouring the coun try for traces of two stolen horses at Schuyler. The three horses carrying the uni que party, however, failed to be the missing nnimals. The two gjrls were attired as boy^. They explained that they had no money and were making their way to Casper, Wyo., by trading horses. The little hoy was perched astride a feeble draft horse, purchased with their last $10. By trading succespful ly. they hoped to get enough "to hoot" to provide a livelihood. Mon day night they slept on a school house lawn near Atnes. they said, and this morning a kindly farmer pro vided them with food.
