Norfolk, Neb,, Oct. 21 (Special).— The resolutions passed by the Ne braska Congregational conference, favoring a federation of churches, has left church people In North Nebraska bewildered, and many have given out public statements indicating that they do not believe In the illmination of denominational individuality. Here are a few statements made by ministers and church leaders re garding their feeling on the union of churches: The Rev. P. M. Orr, pastor First Presbyterian church, Norfolk: "l be lieve the work of the churches could be accomplished better by co-ordina tion and co-operation of denomina tions, but I do not mean an organic union of protestant denominations. I believe closer co-operation of de nominations will come in about 40 or 50 years, but organic union will not Dome in 100 years.” The Rev. H. H. Gilbert, First Bap tist church, Norfolk: ”1 am opposed to a union whereby denominations would lose their indi viduality, because they would lose a vital force by so doing. It would weaken the moral fibre of the shurch.” The Rev. W. JI. Coburn, Christian ihurch, Norfolk: "It may not sound Christian, but churches could not work in harmony If united. Closer eo-operutlon may come, but I do not believe churches should give up their doctrinal view points.” The Rev. John Witt, St. Paul Lutheran church, Norfolk: “I do not think Lutherans would be affected by the union of protestant denominations, and 1 db not believe in the Idea. I believe the churches should be united in spirit." The Rev. O. A. Hinson, pastor of First Methodist church, Norfolk: "A union of churches in a small community, is good, but the differ ence would be Insurmountable in a general union. Some churches are progressive, some have high spirit ual Ideals but some are bound too strongly to the orthodox lines to take the liberal view necessary for the proposed change. What Is really wanted Is a greater co-operation, and that is a mighty good Idea." —+—* KILLING OFF PHEASANTS IN NORTHERN NEBRASKA Valentine, Neh., Oct. 21 (Special).— The state of Nebraska distributed over 1,000 pheasants over this part of the country a few months ago with hopes that the birds would mul tiply so fast that In a few years an open season on pheasants could bo declared and that they could be bagged similar to the way wild ducks and prairie chickens are being killed now.

PEGGY BEAL FREED AFTER SHORT TRIAL Defense Was Claim of Wom an’s Right to Kill Unfaithful Lover—Weeps While Telling Tragic Story to Jury. BY JACK C^RBERRY Uiversai Service Correspondent. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 24.—The Sheik should die. At least such was the verdict of a jury here tonight when after three , hours delibration it acquitted Marie "Peggy” Beal, modern Thuvia, Maid of Mars, of the murder of F. Warren Anderson, Philadelphia and Kansas City club man. The verdict came after one of the shortest trials in the history of tho ' Missouri criminal courts. Four ballots were taken. The first two were seven to five for acquittal. Hi* next showed ten Jurors in favor of giving Peggy Beal her freedom. Peggy, bobbed, diminutive, tears filling her flashing black eyes, told, her story of unwise love to the jury this afternoon. a Tale of Game of Hearts. Crowded Into the six hours of evi dence and argument was the story of llfe—the tale of love and the game of hearts as played by Anderson—“The Sheik”—and "Peggy”—a real life » "Thuvia.” Evidence introduced by the state through six witnesses—detecives and officials of the coroner’s office showed— "Peggy Beal is a2 years old. She looks 20, even with the sharp fea tured beauty which was hers before the tragedy turned to the hardness of a pallid-prisoner of the law. "She was married and divorced af ter the birth of her second child—the eldest now 15 years old, living with their father in Terre Haute, Ind. "She met Anderson in a flirtation. Meeting they loved—she in her heart, she jald, while he but professed hia aff.ction. "That she gave herself to him, ever* after he had confessed that his in valid wife had not divorced him.” “Thuvia” Enter Trial. And then the state scored its two* strongest points. By evidence, the state*showed that a copy of “Thuvia" Edgar Kice Burrough’s novel—lay be side the body of Anderson. It was op ened at the page where a picture showed “Thuvia” bending over her slain lover, a blood dripping dagger iti her hand. Through this evidence the state hoped to convince the jury that ‘’Peg gy" Beal—the Thuvia of rea* life — had premeditated the killing. The state’s second point, on which was based hope for conviction, was that Anderson was shot in the back while he slept in a room occupied by himself and Peggy Beal. “His eyes were closed in.death—he had not moved from the moment the bullet struck him,” Dr. H. E. Moss, coroner, told the jury. ‘‘He had been in bed. The covers of the bed were not rumpled. I cannot swear he was asleep when shot, blit his body had all the appearance of such a situation." Mrs. Beal in her testimony detail ed her life and meeting with Anderson in a flirtation. She said that when he boasted to her of his fifty loves—of which she was the last—and told her that still others were to *follow, she shot him down. She denied Anderson was asleep. "I killed to save other girls,” Mrs. Beal said, adding “But I was Insane— 1 do not recall the actual shot—my memory is a blank there.” "Peggy” Beal's defense was a vin dication of a woman’s right to slay “A Shiek lover”—a man who made all women bend to his will. Many times she broke do\Vn weep ing as she told of their one time lovo and of the actual killing. Peggy Beal was aided by Eiefa Wil son Stice, head nurse of the Open Air hospital, Springfield, Ills., where she was employed as a nurse. ‘‘I saw the Shiek letters this man wrote, begging marriage, promising love”, Miss Stice, who paid her own way to Kansas City to testify for “Peggy” said. The speed with which the trial moved was unlooked for even by at torneys in-the case. GRAND JURY TO PROBE WHAT ROSENBLUTH SAID New York, Oct. 23 (A. P.)—Inves tigation by the federal grand jury of statements made by former Capt. Robert Rosenbluth, in connection with his indictment on a charge of murder near Tacoma, Wash., Were to be started today. The former army officer is at liberty under $10,000 bonds pending hearing of removal proceedings on Thursday. He is charged with the murder of Maj. Alexander P. Cronkhite at Camp Lewis, four years ago. One of the statements to be inves tigated and which was attributed to Jonas J. Goldstein, Rosenblum's counsel, was that before the grand jury was to hear the case against Rosenbluth, persons closely asso ciated with the department of justice made the direct proposal that it would he cheaper for Rosenbluth's friends to contribute to a fund to pre vent the indictment than it would be to go to trial. Lloyd George tailed the Turks “warlike animals,’’ and they dislike' it. Kemal Pasha got the speech by wire and hi#; friends suggest that he will start more fighting, presumably to prove that Turks are not fighting animals. Lloyd George also told his crowd that the Turks are men that cannot be bluffed, “brave men” he called them. That ought to offset the “fighting animals” insult, especially as they are fighting animals. If they could think as well as they fight, they’d frighten Europe. Better think ing is Europe’s safety. -— —
