BOSTON BRUINS
 MAKE PROTESTS

Boston, April 4-(UP)-Warning that big league hockey in Boston is lat the crossroads" Preside m t Charles F. Adams of the Boston Bruins has protested to President Frank Calder of the National Hockey league "the apparent irreg- ularity, If not gross inefficiency, of the officiating" in last weeks Toron- o-Boston Stanley cup playoff game at Toronton.
 The game in question ended in an 8-3 upset victory for the Maple Leafs and eliminated the Bruins from the playoffs, eight goals to six. The Bruins had won the opening game here, 80.
 Adams protest was aimed directly at Referee Odie Cleghorn who, 1t was charged, allowed a goal scored by Red Horner, Toronto defenseman, while the latter purportedly was standing in the square at the mouth of the Boston cage, in violation of rules.
 "In view of the repeated compli- cations and disturbances that have in the past developed in the games between the Leafs and Bruins in which Cleghorn has officiated," |" Adams said in a letter to Calder, what was the justification or reason for his appointment in the cham pionship series between the Toronto and Boston clubs?"

NaNgatuck Sports

Naugatuck, April 1.-The Nauga- tuck "" volley ball season will wind up its season today in Washington, D. c. where 1t will participate in a tourney to decide the Eastern championship.
 The locals chances of victory will be hurt by the inability of their captain, Joe Smith, to make the trip. The players who left yesterday included: Elton Abramson, Fred Ashmore, Jr. Idris Alderson, Fred Baker, George Halloway, Carl Has, sell, Coach James Lutze and Man. ager Edgar Wyatt. Accompanying the team were Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Lutoe, Mrs. Alderson, Mrs. Ash more.
 Naugatuck, April With 500 per- sons filling the Naugatuck Y. M. o. A. to capacity, the first Nauga- tuck Chemical Company Night was a distinct success last night. A variety of entertainment was of- fered, and basketball and bowling gave spectators many thrills.
 The Naugatuck Chemical team turned in thrilling 26-25 victory oveg the Scovill team of Water bury in 8 basketball contest, fea- tured by red hot final period. The locals led at the end of the first quarter 9-4 and at the half-time, 15-7, but a third quarter rally by the visitors gave them the edge at the end of that period, 20-19. The Chemical quintet dropped several baskets in succession to take a 26- 9 advantage and the game ended before the visitors could tie the score.
 The Scovill two-man bowling team got revenge however, by trimming the Chemical company combine, Williams and Harmon bowled for the visitors and Dan Montanari and Anthony Pisterelli rolled for the Chemical. Harmon rolled 427 with high single of 1858 and Williams bowled 337. Pisterelli rolled 356 and Montanari pinned 357.
 The U. s. Rubber Supervisors girls team trimmed the Chemical company girls in two out of three matches. The Supervisors team con- sisted of: Brenia, Comiskey, Riley, Gotloboski and Coughlin. The Chemical company combine was made up of J. Monahan, F. Lar son, A. Walsh, L. Floss and A. Sears.
 The Chemical team won the first string 470-416 but lost the next two, 436-462 and 433-457. There was much interest in this match. A. Sears was high with a 16O string.
 Some good boxing and wrestling bouts were given, Fritz Klambt's gymnasts pleased the audience that packed the gymnasium, with their acrobatic stunts, and the Morton brothers entertained with singing numbers. There were several danc- ing exhibition. Dancing winded up a very pleasant evening.

(Continued from Page 1.) ter about her wonderful attor- ney, Samuel Leibowitz.
 Miss Stretz, 32, a graduate of New York University, shot Gebhardt to death at about 2 a. m. Nov. 12 in his 21st floor apartment in ex- elusive Beekman place. She ad- mittedly had been his mistress for more than 8 year, both he and she wore nightgowns when the shoot ing occurred, and the state charged that she had gone to his apartment with the intention of killing him because she had discovered that he did not intend to divorce his wife and marry her.
 Her Defense Plea
 Her defense was 8 statement that on the contrary she had broken re- lations with Gebardt four days pre- viously and that he lured her to his apartment with false story of illness to attempt a criminal at- tack. She lived in an apartment two floors below his and she wore only coat over her night dress before going upstairs to aid him in his purported illness.
 She was accused of first and sec- ond degree murder and manslaugh- ter. A verdict of guilty of the first charge would have made death penalty mandatory and the maxi mum sentence, for manslaughter, would have been to 20 years im- prisonment.
 Leib0witz Wins Agan
 Her acquittal was triumph for Leibowitz, natty, silver haired spec ialist in murder cases.
 Only three of 118 persons he has defended against murder charges have been convicted, and none has been sentenced to death. He has won three supreme court reversals of convictions in the Scottsboro rape case.
 He's simply wonderful-wonder- ful," Miss Stretz said.

ITALY PLANES IN
 CAPITAL ATTACK

They paid no attention to the ris- ing fire as they neared the earth At 300 feet altitude they leveled of and shot upward.
 People Began to Flee
 Taxis, mules, and people, all loaded to capacity with possessions of the natives, crowded hte roads, clamoring for precedence. in an ef- fort to get away. AS they ran the planes swept out to the airport in the suburbs. The planes maneu- vered over the airport. From 2,000 feet first one plane, then another, dived from the formation. They came down to within 100 feet of the ground, the staccato fire of their machine guns and the roar of their motors punctuated by the explosion of six small bombs.
 Guns StiH Reared
 People near the airport hoped the planes were crashing. But they lev- eled of, their guns still splitting in- cendiary bullets into the hangar and the two planes outside, and rose over the trees to rejoin the squadron Both planes caught fire. One was destroyed. Flames licking the other were extinguished. They divided Two flew off northward, toward Dessye, the other three counthward toward the Sidamo country.
 The normal life of the capital ceased, as everyone believed that the fighters would return with a fleet of three-motored bombers to destroy the ancient city, capital of Africa's last empire.
 Exodus Continued
 The exodus from the city con- tinued all day. People said there would be bombing tomorrow.
 The only casualties in the raic were three people wounded by wild rifle shots at the planes. One was an Arab contractor who is remodel ing the American legation.
 Many people attributed today's raid to an Ethiopian victory in the north. A high military source in- sisted that Ethiopians occupied the north. A high military source in- sisted that Philippians occupied Ma kale, far north of Lake Aschangi yesterday. He said he did not know whether the warriors remained there or only conducted 8 raid.

BIBLE SOCIETY
CORNER
John Rogers-His Work And
MartyrdOm

The early history of this truly great
man is indistinct, though not quite OBJ
scure. He was born about the year
1900, probably in the little hamlet of
Deritend, in the parish of Aston, not
far from the City of Birmingham. He
was educated at Pembroke Hall, in
Cambridge, where he took the degree
of Bachelor Of Arts in 1925. Foxe says
that he "profitably travelled in good
learning" All of his later life gives
proof of his scholarly attainments.
There is reason to believe that he
served as rector Of the Church of Holy
Trinity, or Trinity the Less, in the
City of London, just after receiving
holy orders, but he was soon called
to be one Of the chaplains of the Com
pany of Merchant Adventures at Ant
werp.
1t was here that he fell in company
with William Tyndale and Myles Cow
erdale, both warm advocates of the
new order, and both engaged in trans
lating the Holy Scriptures into Eng
fish. He joined with them in the COM
mon labor of preparing the English
translation, and finally published his
work under the name of Thomas Mat
thew.
The most important personal event
in the life of Rogers at this period was
his marriage, a step which he could
not have taken until he had resolved
to separate himself entirely from the
Roman Catholic church. Of this union
eight children were born. The name of
his wife was Adriana deWeyden, and
she was of an Antwerp family.
The Matthew Bible was published
in 1887. Rogers was, evidently, a man
who cared little for personal glory or
self-aggrandisement-his only object
being the promotion of the cause in
which he had ventured everything,
even his life. His little care for per-
sonal reputation prevented him from
ever claiming the high distinction to
which he was really entitled.
Upon the arrival of the Matthew
Bible in England, Archbishop Gran
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-05-21

mer wrote to Lord Cromwell in praise
Of the translation, declaring it to be
superior to any former one, and ex-
pressing a doubt that the Bishops
could produce a better one "till day
after doomsday." This Bible, which
John Rodgers prepared, and whose
publication he superintendent, is still
the basis of the authorized version.
But the unhindered use of the Eng
fish Bible was soon to be interrupted
by the death of Edward vi and the ac-
cession of Queen Mary. Only a small
proportion Of the older clergy had
been removed in Edwards time. Hence
with the coming of Mary the Roman
party exerted almost universal sway
from the beginning.
Rogers had returned to England
several years prior to the accession of
Mary. Very soon he was unprecedented
and thrown in Newgate prison, charg-
ed with heresy and with breaking the
Canon Law. So far as his descent from
some of the doctrines Of the Roman
Church was concerned, Rogers Plead
ed guilty; for his understanding of tho
Church was not the same as that of
his accusers. However, in his defense,
he replied to the arrangement of Bish-
op Gardener: "Well, my Lord, here
stand before God and this honorable
audience, and take him to witness that
l never Willingly and willingly taught
any false doctrine, and therefore l
have good conscience before God and
all good men," Referring to his rela-
ton to the dominant Church, he con-
tinued: GAS for your false church, you
need not eXcommunicate me from it,
for have not been in it these twenty
years-the Lord be praised there
FORE" ..<
This declaration of his religious
freedom and independence upon the
established church was his parting leg
acy to the world. Importuned again
and again to recant, but steadfastly
refusing to purchase life at the cost
of his convictions, he was burned at
Smithfield on the 4th day of Febru-
airy, 1855, even being denied his last
request, parting word and brief fare
well to his beloved family. Thus he
became the first martyr to the cause of
spiritual freedom in the reign of
Bloody Mary, whom he never blamed
for his incarceration or death.

IN DAYS OF OLD

Silas G. Beachy and Jonas Beachy,
Of the Bittinger community, brought
two tons of maple sugar to market
which was sold to P. T. Cartwright at
Mountain Lake Park.
Joseph Cooley and a number of as
sistant workmen were engaged in the
building of a foundation for the Ma

John E. Gnagey, farmer and mer-
chant at Accident, sent to The Repub-
lican Office a bunch of alfalfa thirty
two inches long, which was grown in
a field on his farm in twenty-six days.
It was stated four crops of this grass
could be harvested ina season and that
the roots reached to a depth of twelve
feet or more beneath the surface of
the earth.
At Grantsville, Lee Cossart was re-
pairing and reftting, the old Bobes
wooden mill, then owned by Moses
Kemp, preparatory to beginning OPP

goods.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
DANGEROUS

Was it written in the old copy
books by mistake where it said: "Save
a little for rainy day."
Is there something new-fangled in
the air that ought to lead US to erase
the old maxims?
We just sort of wonder in homely
way, as we contemplate the sugges-
ton that SO 1-3 per cent of undis-
tributed corporate income be taken for
Federal taxes, whether the idea drum
med into us since childhood about saw
ing doesn't work nowadays.
"Undistributed corporate income"
sounds heavy, like something that
ought to be carried off, but so far as
our limited understanding goes, it
means in plain language the money
that American industries, our fac
tories, mines and mills have laid up
for that proverbial "rainy day."
We have just come through one Of
these periods, and the "rainy day"
money has stimulated employment
when it was needed, paid dividends,
provided employment.
1t seems as sound common sense
for corporations as for individuals to
lay up something for rent, to say
nothing of wages to workers and div
idends to stockholders in case next
year or the next happens to be I'M
profitable.
That is merely prudent manage
ment. There is nothing unsocial about
it that needs combing down or penaliz-
ing.
Who is going to say, in our vast
and ,rgent industrial set-up, what
is a reasonable" amount to lay away
against the coming of lean years? d"
Americans own American indus
tries.
We do not aim to set ourselves up as
financial experts, economists, OF claim
to be in tune with the newest phil
osophical theories of taxation, but we
just kind of wonder, in good old
fashioned way, whether the lesson,
"save something for rainy day."
doesn't apply any more.
And whether saving something out
of what it spends isn't still pretty
good idea to let American business
keep. .-
The last "rainy day" would have
been lots worse if business hadn't
saved up something for it,,
There may be "next depression"
Maybe, after all, it might be plain
common sense not to dig too far into
the business purse right now.
