GOVERNOR SENDS PROTEST Governor Cochran Tuesday sent a letter of protest to the interstate commerce commission against pro posed increases in coal freight charges. His letter: "As governor of the state of Ne braska, I protest on behalf of Ne braska and its people against any in crease in the carrying rates as peti tioned by the rail carriers. This state has no coal mines and is there fore dependent upon other states for its coal supply. The already high freight rates on coaj imposed a heavy burden upon our people and the in crease petitioned for, if granted, will impose an additional burden of ap proximately 1 million dollars a year. "In addition, the requested in crease will result in more motor transportation, requiring greater out lay for highway maintenance, in crease distress already too prevalent and further depress industries mak ing a desperate struggle for exist ence. "I am informed that the Nebraska Etate railway commission has al ready intervened in opposition to the requested increase, but I consider it my duty to add my protest as chief executive to that of other chief execu tives. This is a poor time to add extra weight to the burdens being borne by a struggling citizenry." Every penny spent Tor advertis ing will yield a big return. Bible School Sunday, March 17th '"Peter Delivered from Prison" Acts 12:5-17. J Wonders and miracles seem never to cease in the life of this remarkable man Peter. Our last lesson was full of exciting scenes (recount them). Thi3 lesson is full of strange and mys terious movements. First, the martyrdom of James, the head cf the mother-church and first of the apostles to die. Why did God remove this man and save Peter? We ,note the three persecutions of the church by (a) the Saducee3, chapter 4:1 and chapter 5:17; (b) by the Pharisees:, chapter 6:11, and (c) by King Herod Agrippa I, grandson of flerod the Great (the baby murder er). Of James, the brother of John, we know nothing except the incidental references to him in the gcspels. He is the second of the martyrs to faith fulness to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jo scphu3 rays cf Herod Agrippa: "He loved to live continually at Jerusalem, and wai precisely careful in his ob servance of the law of the country, lie therefore kept himself entirely pure, ncr did any day pass over his head without its appointed sacrifice." In order to do violence to the church, certain members were impris oned and Jame3 beheaded. Finding that this gratified the Jews, he pro ceded to seize Peter also. In order to ingratiate himself to the Jews, he promised thera another spectacle after Easter or passevcr. In the mean time, Peter lingers in prison, probably , ed in God's own way, quite different Antonio. God moves in a mysterious j from what we expected but "our way his wonders to perform. Peter, ' Father" knows best. "Thy will be believing that he wa3 spending his done" "have thine own way, Lord." last night on earth, has given up all And so we behold the happy result Jiope of ever preaching another ser- and meeting. Peter has much to say, men cf feeding the sheep or attend-'and anxious hearts are asking ques ing tc the lambs has closed his ac- tions. Amidst shouts of joy and cries counts and is awaiting the summons for the execution He has a safe, but probably no comfortable bed. It was jnot hi3 first time to be in prison even innocent people may be impris oned; but he wa3 Eafe for sixteen trained men guarded him. In another part of the city, there is much anxiety, even excitement! A lhasty prayermeeting is called, the ob ject stated and much earnestness is shown in thi3 intercessory prayer. A little girl is posted at the gate to guard against interruption and prob able danger of the enemies. What did the church pray for? Was it for the release of Peter? May we say here that we do not think so. They did ,not expect to see him again, but their prayers were for sustaining grace in plied." Ilercd dead, the gospel ad the hour of trial. jvanciug!

Investigators . at more than $100,000 were found in a safety de posit box owned by James Kelly, 62 year old miser of West Madison flop houses. Meanwhile, true bills charg ing forgery and conspiracy were re ported voted by the grand jury against Mrs. Bella Butman, 40, and six men held with her in an alleged plot to gain possession of Kelly's wealth thru a fraudulent will. Re ported names with Mrs. Butman, at whose home Kelly died last month, in the true bills were her son, Thomas, 21; Attorney Julius P. Waitches; John J. Bagdonas, an undertaker; Nicholas Radis, his assistant; John Dailyde, 54, and the Rev. Paul Za link. All except Mrs. Butman's son re cently were sentenced by Probate Judge John F. O'Connell to serve a year in jail for their alleged attempts to file the forged will. COUPLE SHOT THRU HEARTS Bakersfield, Calif. Shot thru tho hearts, the bodies of Mrs. Josephine Baudino, 34, and Louis Garonne, 38, dairyman, were found in an automo bile near here. Sheriff Champness said Garonne apparently had shot the woman, then himself. Garonne was survived by his widow and three chil dren, Mrs. Baudino by her husband and two children. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. shows that they had no such expecta tions. -.But Go'd needed Peter and it was up to him. to get . him out of prison. And he has many ministering angels at his disposal so one was summoned to go to Jerusalem and release Peter, who was peacefully in dulging in his apparent last sleep. (Describe the rescue). The angel does his part and Peter his, walking a3 in a dream. The unexpected is happen ing chains fail off his hands, doors fly open, the angel lights the way and leads with not even the sol diers' sleep disturbed. So does our Father take care cf his own; only He can break the chains of old habit3 and sin and set the prisoner free. And then He gives more than we ask or understand. Peter finds his way to the prayer circle, and his reception shows that he was not expected to be ever seen by them; "it is his guardian angel"4 that is calling on them, giving notice that Peter ha3 run his race. But it is Peter who knocks at the gate. Once before Peter's voice had betrayed him where? Rhoda reprots Peter is at the gate. "You are mad!" Three peo ple have been accused in the New Testament of being mad, to-wit: The Lord Jesus, John 10:20; Rhoda, as Just described, and Paul, Acts 26:24 25. (Read the circumstances). "Knock and it shall be opened unto you." Peter believed that promise. The astonished church is a wonder to us. How oft are our prayers answer- of praise and thanksgiving the meet- ing is adjourned, but not until Peter ctijuiiis Liit; vuuini luu nt; iue giau news known to "James the Les3 and the brethren." So God call3 hi3 workman home, but carries on his work. Another James is ready to take the place of the former. But what about Herod Agrippa? Well, he could not furnish the victim fcr the spectacle promised the Jew3; shamefacedly he slunk away, went to Caesarea and there took the honor that belongs to God unto himself his cup was full of iniquity worms ate him up, at the age of ,50 years. In five days he was. a corpse. "But the word of God was multi- Richberg Would Abandon Number of Minor Codes Administrator Advises Senate Com mittee to Do Big Job and Let Fringes Wait. Washington. A difference of opinion in administration circles over how many codes should be dropped in revising NRA was indicated by Donald Richberg in advising the sen ate finance committee to "do the big job and let the fringes wait." Richberg expressed the personal view that a great many of the codes for several trades with all their en forcement difficulties, could be drop ped and still leave 75 percent of the nation's workers under the blue eagle. "But I want you to hear those who feel more strongly than I do that there should be something done in this field," Richberg told the com mittee. Chairman Harrison (d., Miss.) ask ed for Richberg's personal views on which codes should be discarded af ter the committee had tried for four daj-s to get a specific list from the di rector of the national emergency council who appeared as a spokesman for the administration. Richberg said he would not write into the law which industries should be regulated and which should net, but would draw the line by a defin ition of interstate commerce that would "stand up" in the courts. He submitted a list of seventeen service trade codes, covering about 3 million employes, which he said had brought most of the enforcement difficulties. He added, however, that these groups included some of the worst employ ment conditions. The bigger indus tries in the list were barber shops, laundries, cleaning and dyeing, ho tels and restaurants, motor vehicle storage, advertising, bowling and billiards, real estate, brokerage and beauty shops. There was apparently less interest in Richberg's fourth appearance be fore the committee than during the first three days. Only part of the senators attended the hearing and there were no persons standing along the walls. As a result Richberg had a little easier time getting in a few words of his own between questions. In submitting the ' list of service trade codes, Richberg said the list had given rise , to "the major com plaints", but that "on the other side of the picture we have approximately 3 million employes in this group who are operating under low wage condi tions." All kinds of commercial print inci done promptly at the Journa' office. Boy Killer Freed t 1 I!
