THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1919. EUROPE FACING A CATASTROPHE SAYS VANDERLIP 'Former Banker Tells Pan American Conference Con ditions Across Atlantic Are Serious. Washington, June 5. Frank A. Vanderlip, former president of the National City bank of New York, tnld the pan-American conference here today that trading between South America and Europe could not be resumed . as formerly for some time to come as the situation overseas "is more serious than has been grasped on this continent or even by a large proportion of the Eu.-opeans themselves." "Europe," said Mr. Vanderlip, . "has received such a shock as can not be measured by those who have not seen it at close range. Men all over the country are idle. The disorders are a result of want, idle ness and revolution and cannot be confined to any one locality. Do not think that I am predicting a conflagration in Europe, but I be lieve that continent is now balanced upon a knife edge and that the future tlone can tell whether there will be a conflagration or not. "A catastrophe may come out of the present situation which will af fect us all- H the catastrophe is averted, as I believe it will be, the position of those countries of this hemisphere which are rich in re sources and unharmed by war, is of supreme, importance." Mrs. Nichojs Gets Divorce , - With $35 a Month Alimony ? Neal Nichols of the Nichols-Rice Motor company,' told Judge Day an extraordinary tale of married life in , answer to his wife's petition for di vorce in district court yesterday.

Well, it might well be, for it is inspired by Lila Lee. recently the "Cuddles" of vaudeville fame, who appears at the Kialto theater today and Satur day in "Puppy Love." It is said the photoplay is as delightful as the star. Charles Murray, the, famous Paramount-Mack Sennett Comedian, has ;m unctuous role in this picture story, and the cast is one of the best ever assembled. R. William Neill did the directing and Henry Kotani, a clever oriental cameraman, shot the scenes. "The Delicious Little Devil," starring Mae Murray, will be shown today and Saturday at the Muse theater. The picture is based on a story by Joh'n B. Clymer and Har vey Thew, and was directed by Rob ert Z. Leonard, Miss Murray's hus: band. It is a story of New York's night life, with a touch of appeal to it that is not common to such stories. It tells of a girl of the tenements, out of work, who invents a lurid past for herself in order to qualify for a place as a dancer in a notorious roadhouse. Little Mary McGuire's imaginary misdeeds won her the job, but they also bring her a flood of undesired 'and undesirable suitors and one who comes in neither category. How she escapes from the tide and catches the fish in it forms the story of "The Delicious Little Devil." Wesley Barry, 9 years old, al though but little advertised, bids for near-stellar honors in "The Unpar donable Sin," which is at the Boyd this week. The youngster has one of the "fattest" roles in the picture, and the manner in which he takes $25,000 REWARD IS OFFERED FOR BOMB BLOTTERS Cleveland Citizens Raise An other Like Sum to Aid Police in Hunting Criminals. Cleveland, June 5. A $25,000 re ward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the men who on Monday night dynamited the home of Mayor Harry L. Davis was offered by a group of Cleve land citizens. An additional $25,000 was raised to be used by police in hunting the criminals. New York, June 5. Eight cities in which bomb outrages were perpe trated Monday night have arranged for an interchange of police officers to facilitate co-operation of all agen cies at work running down radicals responsible for explosions, it was an nounced at police headquarters here. Ihe statement came at the close of a cpnference between federal agents and representatives of the municipal police departments of various cities. It was stated that detachments of the New York bomb squad have been sent to Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and other cities in the hope that they can be of assistance in round ing up anarchists and other radicals who are familiar figures in the ex clusive red society of New York.' Two Dealers tn Oil Stock Arrested by Omaha Police E. T. Rogers and James Rogers, St. Louis, were arrested yesterday, noon and are being held at the po lice station for investigation. Officers who made the arrest and searched the rooms of the men at 2019 Farnam street, found Liberty bonds and checks for more than $2,000 which, it is said, had been re ceived in payment for stock issued in the alleged oil corporation. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Federal Judge Woodrough and District Attorney Peterson left Thursday night for North Platte, where a session of the United States district court is to be held.

The story is of an atheist's refor mation through the influence of a beautiful daughter of a minister. When Monroe Salisbury made "The Millionaire Pirate," with its mixture of medieval romance and modern adventure, the public asked whether that meant the end of the typical Monroe. Salisbury out-of-doors screen plays. "The Blinding Trail," which brings the virile star to the Brandeis theater the last times today, answers the question in convincing fashion.
