To Conduct Revival
II. R. Knosp departs this
Rev.
(Monday) morning for Big Timber,
Montana, where he will conduct a
three weeks' revival campaign for
Rev. A. Roukema. Rev. Knosp has
been called to Montana at various
times to conduct revival campaigns,
which were very inspirational and
successful.
Rev. Knosp is not only an ener
getic and efficient pastor, but has
also proved himself to be successful
as an evangelist and his services and
tii.e are in demand quite
demand quite often. But
i
::e
is not in a position to leave his
enarixe ana spare ine time ior mis
kind of work.
Last January, Rev. Knosp received
a very urgent written entreaty re
quest ing Lim to come to Big Timber
for the above said purpose. The ap
peal wah so strong and urgent that he
i - -1 1 as though he should not decline,
but fulfill the request if at all pos-
aitiblc. He therefore placed the re
quest before the Quarterly Conference
b -arc'., w hich voted him a leave of
abrt nc? for three weeks.
The prayers and interest of his en
tire charge will go with him and re
r.iomber him while away engaged in
the Lord's work.

"ormatorv during the
years lftlO-
. SO pel cent went on
committing
crimes alter their discharge. 'This,
says Dr. Richard Cabot, "is a damn
ing piece of evidence . . . against
the reformatory system in general."
In a imm'.i'T ot states anti-revolver
laws have been passed under the
guise of crime deterrents. The suc
cess of these laws can be measured
by the fact that in New York the
Brooklyn grand jury recently advo
cated their repeal on the grounds
that they are an aid to the criminal
who is assured of an unprotected citi
zenry. We have made a joke of the parole
system by allow ing the influence of
professional reformers and sob-sis-jtcrs
to reach the point where every
jyear vicious criminals, with no more
'social sense than so many tigers, are
j liberated and allowed to go forth and
p rey again on society,
Adequate, certain and quick pun
ishment here are the only real crime
cures. Once we have shown the un
derworld that society v.-ill exact quick
retribution from offenders, crime
won't seem such a desirable and pro
fitable profession.
AUTOIJOBILE ACCI
DENTS UNNECESSARY
In the opinion of G. H. Hutch
croft, statistician, Wisconsin Board
of Health, it is possible to operate
automobiles without killing or ser
iously injuring anyone.
Mr. Hutchcroft points out that
carelescness, criminal indifference,
drunkenness and physical defects are
responsible for a large part of our
serious accidents.
Carelessness. indifference and
drunkenness are legally punishable
offenses. The fact that many motor
ists violate one or another of them
cause accidents and go unpunished,
is a biting indictment of our traffic
codes and their enforcement."
Physical defects could be offset by
passing strict laws requiring period
ical inspections of a motor car to
determine its condition.
The most tragic thing about our
yearly accident toll is that it repre
sents an unnecessary waste of life.
Accidents don't "just happen." There
is generally some definite cause be
hind them that can be removed.

BANK HEADS ARE SILENT
New York Wall street rumors
that the Chase National bank and
the Equitable Trust company were
negotiating a merger thus forming
the world's largest bank, were re
ceived in silence Friday by the heads
of both banks. Both Albert H. Wig
gin and W. W. Aldrich. presidents of
the Chase and 'Equitable banks, re
spectively, declined to comment.
The stocks of both banks were strong
Friday. The Chase stock opened $8
higher, while that of the Equitable
advanced $9. Chase is now the third
largest bank in America. The Equit
able Trust company reached fourth
place when it took over the Standard
National bank. A merger of these
two banks wouldgive the new insti
tution first place with resources of
about $2,700,000,000. surpassing
both the National City bank of New
York and the Midland bank of Lon
don, the two leaders at the present
time.
Dry Demands
'5 and 10' Law
Amendments
Bachmann Says Congress Should De
fine 'Casual or Slight' Vio
lations of Aca.
Washington. March 7. Modifica
tion of the famous Jones "ii and 10"
law was demanded in the house Fri
day by Representative Carl G. Bach
mann. a dry republican from West
Virginia, as the prohibition issue
again took the spotlight.
Applause resulted w hen Bachmann
declared himself opposed to any
scheme for relieving court congestion
whoih would deprive prohibition law
violaters of their constitutional right
of trial by jury.
Such congrestion should be relieved
by appointment of additional federal
judges, said Bachmann, who is a
member of the subcommittee of the
house judiciary committee, which is
considering the Wichersham proposal.
Specify Penalties.
But the first thing congress should
do is to amend the Jones law, so as
to define "casual or slight violations"
and specify a maximum penalty of
5500 or six months in jail, without
hard labor, Bachmann said.
President Hoover has pointed out
the congestion in the courts and ap
pealed to congress for remedial leg
islation, Bachmann . noted. .It now
appears that no legislation of this
character will be passed at this ses
sion of congress, he said.
"Approximately one-fourth of
all the cases started in the coun
try were in Xew York. Ken
tucky was second and West Vir
ginia third.
"More than one-half of all the
oases commenced in the United
States were begun in the six
states of New York. Kentucky.
West Virginia, Texas, Pennsyl
vania. Georgia and the District
of Columbia. There were 4 2.
cases commenced in the
state of Xew York, compared
with 41.724 in ."1 other states
combined.'
Purchase Not Offense.
Boston. March 7. A ruling that
purchase of liquor is not a violation
of the federal prohibition law, was
handed down Friday by Judge James
i M
Morton in federal court, in quash
ing a federal grand jury indictment.
The indictment quashed was that
of James E. Fanar of Watertown
who was charged with the purchase
of two pints of liquor in the pres
ence of two undercover men.
Judge Morton held that the en
forcement section of the Volstead act
is section 3 and this section clearly
eliminates any liability of any kind
for the purchase of liquor. He cited
a decision of the circuit court of ap
peals and a statement of the supreme
court in support of his own decision.

D0HENY AGAIN FACES TRIAL
Wasihngton Edward E. Doheny,
wealthy oil operator, came to Wash
ington Friday to go on trial Monday
on a charge of giving former .Secre
tary of the Interior Fall a bribe of
$100,000 for awarding his company
a lease to the Elk Hillis naval oil re
serve. Doheny expressed belief that
he would be acquitted, and Frank
J. llogan, chief counsel, announced
that the oil man would take the
stand and tell his story of lending
the money to Fall, an old time friend
who was in need. Doheny and Fall
have maintained that the money was
a loan, but a jury in the District
of Columbia found Fall guilty of ac
cepting it as a bribe. He is now free
on bond pending appeal.
Hogan said that virtually the
same evidence would be introduced
at the trial as was used in the Fall
Doheny conspiracy trial in 1926.
which resulted in their acquittal on
charges of having conspired to de
fraud the. government in the Elk Hill
leasefl. llogan said the trial might
reguire more than a week and pos
sibly two weeks.

NEBRASKA HAS N0TAELE
MEMORIAL AMERICAN ELM
Nebraska is a young state, only
seventy-five years old. yet relics ol
its pioneer days are few and far be
tween. Constant progress has swept
away the old and replaced il with
the new. Among these few reminders
of earl" Nebiasku life is living memo
rial to the pioneer;-, an Ainetican Elm
growing near Seward. The tree is ;t
beautiful specimen, and the outline
silhouetted against the sky is almost
perfect. The trunk is about in feet
in circumference, it is GO feet high.
and it casts a shadow more than one
hundred feet in diameter. It stands
at the southwest edge of Seward on
the S. Y. A. highway.
Seward county residents who have
been there for over fifty years re
call the tree as being a good sized
tree when they first saw it. No one
knows just how oi l the tree actually
is. but it is estimated that it must
have preceded the early pioneers by
at least twenty years. Its age must

Raise
At-
Washington The coaiition of
democrats and republican independ
ents suffered another major reverse
in the senate tariff contest Friday
with the approval of a duty on ce
ment, but they immediately counter
ed with a demand for another ballot
on the sugar increase. Inferring that
a "vote trading agreement" existed,
the coalition coupled with this de
mand a request for another vote on
cement. Both will be subjected to
new roll calls.
Senator Nye moved the reconsid
eration of both duties after approval
had been given by a vote of 4 to
37 to a proposal of Senator Kean of
New Jersey to xlace a levy of six
cents a hundred pounds on cement,
now on the free list. In January the
coalition put cement back e-n
free list by a vote of 40 to 35.
Nye Changes Vcte.
"I am forced at this tim 10
mark that none are so blind as t!
who will not see." Nye asserted.
the
M
:ose Al-
tho he voted cm both occasions that
sugar was under consideration for an
increased tariff, the North Dakotan
said he "thought" there was "some
evidence of an agreement" this week
when the coalition broke and an in
creased sugar duty carried.
"Tho it might not entirely be
shown and approved that a trade had
been entered into." he added, "if it
were proved I hardly see how I could
escape altogether being made a part
of that trade. And I care not how in
direct a part I may innocently appear
to have been in any such undertak
ing in such a deal, I am not going
to be in any sense a party to it. I
therefore move to reconsider the vote
of day before yesterday whereby an
increased duty was levied on sugar."
Previously Nye, who had voted
against the Kean amendment, chang
ed his vote in order to move recon
sideration of this ballot. He and four
other senators, Couzens, Michigan,
and Pine, Oklahoma, republicans, and
Tydings, Maryland, and Wagner, New
York, democrats, were recorded in
favor of the six cent rate, whereas
last January they voted for free ce
ment as against an eight cent rate
in the bill. This is the rate carried
by the house measure.
Barkley Raises Cry.
Senator Barkley also raised the
"trdding cry." He said he had been
urged by oil men, in his state to vote
for an oil ."tariff , and added:
"I will see every oil well, in Ken
tucky closed before 1 join .any un
holy alliance in this body. Let 'those
who are voting for the high tariffs in
this bill go ahead and vote for. the.
measure, too. Any other vote would
be dishonest."
Thirty-six republicans and nine
be somewhere around the century
mark.
How many weary travelers must
have rested beneath the shade of this
old ttree! What history making epi
sodes it must have seen! And what
human emotions and resides it must
have recognized in the many persons
who have passed it! It has been a re
liable laudm? 1 k for the Indians and
white people alike and has ever been
a favorite camping ground. A mile
north and :i mile south of the tree
were considered two safe fords of the
Blue river.
The first fair ever held in Seward
county was staged just about a quar
ter of a mile south of this large elm.
in a bend of the river. There were
.only a few people present and no de
finite record was kept of it, but Sew
ard citizens recall it. It was a very
small fair, but it was put on by early
citizens because of the pride they
.felt in their early endeavors. Sham
tattles have been known to have been
waged beneath the tree in celebra

Until the last few years the t ice
has never had any artificial care.
Hunters have used it for a target;
high waters have flooded it and mai
led it with ice and debris; the scarred
bark shows signs of having suffered
from the elements in their worst
forms and yet it has retained its
vigor through 1 the kindlier moods of
these elements. Located in a favor
able position, scarcely a hundred
yards from the Blue river, its roots
have drunk dec-ply from that plenti
ful supply'of water. It has outlived
all other trees around it.
The tree has recently been made a
living memorial to Nebraska pioneers.
A fe years ago it was noticed that
it had developed a large cavity in the
trunk Due to the intense interest
of several people who knew and had
learned to love the tree, attention
was called to it. Artificial repair has
restored the tree and given it renew
ed life. It now makes one of the most
interesting spots in the state, not
only because of its beauty but also
for its historical value.
