GANG LEADER

SAVES FAMILY
Shot Down While Fleeing to
Draw CrosSfire From

M DHttCn BTes8
NEW YORK, June 20.-Killers Of
Charles CVannie) Higgins, lobster
man." rnackerel fisherman and rum
runner, shot down while drawing a
gangster crossfire away from his
family, we're unknown today.
The "roughneck" racketeer, who
had beaten fourteen charges in his
efforts to muscle into a position of
prominence in New York gangland,
died voWing to get the dirty rats"
who shot him and tried to wipe
out his family" but he didn't name
them.
He died Sunday afternoon. He
was shot early Sunday morning
after fulfilling a promise to attend
dance recital with his 7-year-old
daughter, Jean, dancing school
pupil
The easy-going Higgins walked to
the street with the girls hand in
his. His wife and mother-in-law
were about ten feet distant. An
automobile load of gangsters opened
fire.
FIees to Save Family
Higgins showed the little girl
against his sixteen cylindered
roadster, ducked, and started zig
tagging down the street to draw at
tention from his family.
Another car load of executioners
caught him in the crossfire.
Patrolman Walter Herzer, with
Higgins in the navy, picked up the
gangster, but he arrived too late to
witness the shooting.
The career of the racketeer was
rather unusual, although it ended
in the usual manner.
Higgins was not a "spender," a
Broadway night life character, al
though he figured in at least one
cutting scrape a year or more ago

he was too drunk to know his COM

been.
With Many Racketeers
Once he was lust a carpenter,
and another time "a mackerel fish
erman," but never was he a rum
runner, or a killer, although eight
homicide charges had been placed
against him.
Higgins was an associate Of Jack
Gegsl Diamond.
He had worked with Owney Mad
den, Broadway figure.
He had worked with Ben Stern
berg, rum runner, who stepped
into an automobile with Higgins one
day at Long Beach, and never was
seen again.
He was rival Of Augie Pisano's
Brooklyn beer mob.
He had been involved with New
Jersey beer runners.
He had "muscled in" on any and
all wherever profits could be had

among those men he had worked
and worked with.

DEBTS REVISION

European Powers FroWif
on Full Cancellation

BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press stan Correspondent

LAUSANNE June 2o.-Absoluta
cancellation of war debts and rep-
arations as remedy for the
worlds economic ills, appeared to be-
considered out of the question today
by most delegates to the Lausanne
reparations conference.
Since the conference decided to
suspend payments due July / and.
to continue suspension during the.
reparations meeting, opinion has
crystallized in favor OF continued
recognition of debt obligations, but
with figures revised according 10
capacity to pay.
1t was undeniable that complete
cancellation, as an experimental
theory, was not acceptable to the
United States or France, despite
gratifying indications that Wash
ington might reconsider the debts
situation.
The larger powers represented
agreed that a definite settlement
must be reached here, and Francs
and her continental allies appeared
ready to stay at Lausanne indefl-
nitely until they could take home al
signed program for reparations and
debts.
Indications that Washington was
taking an active interest in Lau-
same convinced the powers that the
United States had the right to de-
mand the equivalent of certified
accounting of European budgets
which would establish the capacity
to pay.
The project that Germany paw
500,000,00O marks (about $4,000, :
000) annually seemed to be gaining
ground. 1t was pointed out thai
such payment would be less than
one-third of the Young plan sched-
