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.

'"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."

Jiope of ever preaching another ser- and meeting. Peter has much to say,

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

FIND VALUABLES OF MISER
Chicago. Notes, mortgages, bonds
and jewelry valued by state's attor
ney.! 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.

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

the former.
But what about Herod Agrippa?
Well, he could not furnish the victim

shamefacedly he slunk away, went to

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

This Looks Much Better.
The store quarry interests of

those who seek work and have had
very little, was made the more in
teresting when last Monday the Jas
par quarry put 55 workers to work
stripping for the extraction of stone
as they will be needing stone and lots
