against the release of Andy Wright
Charlie Weems and Clarence Nor

in the Scottsboro case, the Alaba-

quested and said: "If this board
pardons these Negroes, its men,
bers won't be safe in their homes"
He said he had journed all the way
from his home in Lafayette to OPP

porters he would "nake a speech
every chance I get" to oppose re-
lease of the Scottsboro defendants.

TESTIMONY GIVEN THAT
TRANSFORMERS AND OTHER
EQUIPMENT INSTALLED WITH
OUT OWNERS CONSENT

Testimony that transformers and
other equipment to serve farms had
been installed without owners con-
sent by the Eastern Nebraska Pub
lie Power District, was given
Thursday afternoon before the
state railway commission in Lincoln
when hearing of the Nebraska
Power Company's petition to pre-
vent duplication of its linss in Cass
and Saunders counties was resum-
ed.
A. B. Stromer, manager, Alvo
Telephone Company, testified that
such equipment had been placed at
the farm of l. d. Mullen of Alvo
which had been untenanted for ten
years. Similar equipment he said
was installed at District School
No. Cd although this school has not
been used for two year. Pupils of
that district attend the consolidat-
cd school at Alvo.
H. L. Bornemeier, farmer of
rear Alvo, corroborated Mr.. Stro-
mer's testimony and also stated
that he had heard of several other
such unauthorized installations of
electric service equipment by the
public power district.
Roy Page, vice president, Ne
braska Power Company, and C. w.
Minard, chief engineer, declared
that duplication of power lines and
services IN rural territory would
not be to the best interests of the
public. In answer to question by
Robert Van Pelt, public power dis
trict attorney, Mr.. Page said that
with two electric utilities operat-
ing in the same field, lower rates
for farm electric service would be
impossible. This, he said, is be-
cause the two utilities would divide
tho available customers, thus in
creasing the cost per customer,
through duplication of all operat-
ine and maintenance expenses.
The hearing was adjourned until
October %.
