PROPAGANDA IS
CHARGE Of STATE
IN FRANKS CASE
Loeb and Leopold Families
Attempting to Save SonSI
Ayers Attorney,

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 17.-Attorneys en-
gagged by the millionaire Leopold and
Loeb families in an effort to save
their sons from the gallows 'are
spreading vicious propaganda" which
is intended to show the boys in
sane, representatives Of the State
charged today.
The defense. according to DIR. vii
liam o. Krohn, States alienist, is at
tempting to paint the careers of
young Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb even blacker than they really
are. so as to make the world believe
the murderers are insane"
Reports circulated that Leopold
ana Loeb had plotted 20 murder
Loeb's younger brother before they
changed plans and killed 14-year-old
Robert Franks instead were branded
as vicious lies" by DIR. Krohn.
The more heinous and diabolc
and numerous the crimes are laid at
the doors of Leopold and Loeb, the
more incomprehensible the uni
versity students VIII become to the
man in the streets" DR.. Krohn ex-
planned in defense of his charges.
When a man does something you
can't possibly conceive of doing. you
viii naturally explain it by saying,
why, that man must be crazy"
DarrOw Denies Plan
Reports given wide circulation to
the effect the defense would try to
show that Leopold and Loeb first
planned to murder Loeb's younger
brother, then plotted to kidnap Leo
pold's father. were denied vigorously
by Clarence barrow, chief defense
counsel.
These are. Hes-nothing but lies"
Darrow said.
DR.. Krohm, however. announced
every precaution viii be taken by
the State TO spike" any such tes-
timony if it should be offered during
the course of the trial, which opens
Aug. 4.
The defense will use every means
possible" DR.. Krohm predicted. TO
have these murderers sent to an in
sane asylum instead Of the gallows.
They will try to make the jury be-
Ieve the boys are insane. They will
paint the defendants blacker than
they really are. They viii try TO
show that they are different from
ordinary people.

WEEKS ENGAGEMENT AT
LOCAL CHURCHES

The revival of the M. E. and Pres

the II o'clock service Sunday, Feb.
8, at the Presbyterian church, and
will continue for three weeks.
From Feb. to 13 the meetings
will be in the Presbyterian church,
and from February IA to "a in the
Methodist church.
The congregations of both these
churches have gone into intensive
training" for these meetings, hold
ing five cottage" prayer meetings
at 8 o'clock on both Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon of this week.
See local columns for announce
ment of cottage prayer meetings for
next week.
Also the Union Bible Glass held
on Friday evenings is being well at
tended and the folks are taking a
real interest in the meetings. This
Bible class will meet at the Clayton
home next week.
Let all who have the best interest
of Wolf Point at heart give these
the Fright of way" in their
activities for February. In this
time of financial depression and
slack work in our community, let us
all turn to the Friend "who sticketh
closer than a brother" the source of
all our strength and courage. These
meetings are not for the benefit of
the two churches concerned but for
the whole community, and we hope
that they will be the source of cour-
age and inspiration for many who
are downcast and "blue" because of
general conditions in our commun-
ty.

Bipartisan Leaders
Control at Present

Washington, Jan. Struggle
for parliamentary advantage through
colations continues to retard vital
Legislative measures in the Congress.
1t is obvious that the Republicans
will find it difficult to write the rec
concentrations of President Coolidge
into the statute because the present
revolt against majority rule has a
tendency to bring about disintegra-
ton of the party. There is new
majority in the House-an alliance
of Democrats and Republican insur
which apparently has the
power to enforce its bipartisan de-
mands. They have displayed their
strength in changing the rules of
the House in order to exercise con-
troll over important legislation. 1t
is predicted in many quarters that
nothing but political chaos will come
of this strategy. With the bi-par-
tisan machinery in position to
amend the tax bill by the inclusion
of bonus proposal and President
Coolidge opposed to alterations in
the Mellon plan and the bonus, tax
reduction is nothing but a pleasant
dream at the present time.

FIREMEN'S ANNUAL BALL
TICKET SELLERS SOON

The Wolf Point Volunteer Fire
Department holds its 18th annual
ball on February IL, at the Coliseum.
It is quite unnecessary to say that
these annual balls on Lincoln's birth
day are among the big events of the
year as they are always well man
aged, we'll attended and afford a
good time for everybody.
Besides this the firemen's annual
balls represent cause that no citi-
zen or property owner can fail to
support. Fire is constant hazard
against which we cannot have too
much protection. Wolf Points fire
department is exceptionally efficient.
Local fire losses have been very
small and the best way to keep them
that way is to show appreciation of
our volunteer fremen and make it
possible for them to have the equip
ment they need. Just now the press
ing thing is the final payment on the
fire siren, installed about two years
ago.
A committee will soon make the
annual drive to sell dance tickets
and list such contributions to the de-
partment's funds as the citizens will
make. Meet them with a smile and

siren sounds it may be your building

never fail to turn out when the call

PRAY NAMED STATES
End FEDERAL JUDGE
EX-CONGRESSMAN CHOSEN FOR
LIFE POSITION BY THE
PRESIDENT
Nomination Is Made After Many
Months Deliberation-Meets
General Approval

Washington, Jan. 21.-President
Coolidge, after weeks of considera-
tion, disposed of two of the four ad-
ditional judgeship appointments by
sending the Senate Monday the nom-
ination of Charles B. Davis to be
federal judge for the eastern dist
rict of Missouri, and Charles N. Pray
to be judge for the district of Mon
tana.
Congratulations from friends in
all parts of the state, says the Great
Falls Tribune, poured in upon Judge
Pray Monday, following the an
nouncement from Washington that
he had been named as Montana's
second judge. Mr.. Pray has prac-
ticed law in Great Falls since 1914.
Judge Pray will leave within few
days for Washington to pay his re-
'spects to President Coolidge. He
will assume duties as judge in the
near future, but the exact date will
depend upon the receipt of his COM
mission after the appointment is con-
firmed by the senate. 1t is consider
ed certain that Judge Pray will pre-
side over the regular February term
of federal court in Great Falls.
Judge Pray announced Monday
that he would continue his residence
in Great Falls, but has not yet de-
cided the location of his official head
quarters. The appointment of
second federal judge does not mean
that another prosecuting attorney
and clerk will be named, but the pro-
cedure expected will be that of des-
ignating deputies from each of those
offices, who will be permanently To-
Gated at the judges headquarters. 1t
is anticipated that Wellington H.
Meigs of Great Falls, assistant to
United States District Attorney J.
L. Slattery, will be selected as the
representative of the prosecutors
office in Judge Pray's district.
A bill now is pending that would
provide for the holding of federal /
court in Glasgow and Kalispell,
which with Great Falls and Billings .
would have the effect of designating
four cities in Judge Pray's district
as the location of court sessions. I'm

storm.
Several people think they saw the
car leaving town and most of the
evidence indicates it went west. No
clue yet but it is believed that car
so easily described-maroon body,
canvas top, luggage trunk behind,
disc wheels-will soon be picked up.

BUTTREY COMPANY
CLOSING OUT STOCK
GREAT CLOSING OUT SALE
FLESHER TO HAVRE-GOL-
DEN RULE MOVES IN

AS announced in their double page
advertisement in this issue, the Butt
rey-Swift Company will close out its
large and high class stock of dry
goods, women's and girls garments
and shoes. The widespread business
depression is causing business houses
large and small, to concentrate their
forces and avoid extension policies
until times are easier and more
money comes back into circulation.
However the Buttrey company makes
no complaint of the business it has
had in Wolf Point.
High Class Store
They have maintained store that
would be credit to city of 10000
high quality, large stocks, late
styles and moderate prices. The
Buttrey store has been a public
spirited institution and a drawing
card and a big asset to the city. The
whole community is exceedingly
sorry to lose the store and splendid
young business man like E. r.
Flesher, it's manager. "Red' has al
ways done more than his part in CO.
operative mercantile campaigns and
has the energy, personality and Wis
ion that are sure to bring him large
success. He will go back to the
main store at Havre to take an i'm
portant position under F. A. Buttrey.
The local store expects to be clos
ed out by March 1st and in the mean
time consumers in this section will
get the benefit of genuine bargains
in all the lines in the store.
Golden Rule Moves In
o. C. Heinze & Co. have made
deal by which they will get the lease
on the fine big store room now oc-
cupied by the Buttrey store and
move the Golden Rule into it. This
will give this popular establishment
much better quarters for its large
general stock of dry goods, shoes and
mems and women's wear.
The Golden Rule has a record OF /
six years of successful business dur
ing which time it has built up very
extensive trade with the people of
his corner of the state through its
lair dealing and good values.

NORTHERN MONTANA
CORN SHOW FOR "a
SOON-EACH TOWN PRE-
SENTS CLAIMS
North District Show Largest In State
Some Town In This County
Gets Big Feature

County Agent d. B. Noble has
written a letter to each commercial
body along the Great Northern main
line in this county calling attention
to the need of an early decision as
to the location of the Northern Mon
tana Corn Show for 1924. This
county drew the honor of holding
the show so it is merely a question of
which town in this county gets it.
There is great advantage to the
town and community holding this
show, from whatever angle it is
viewed-business advertising or ed
ucational. The cost is moderate
compared to the benefits. The 1928
show at Chinook was a wonderful
success, drew people from all over
the northern part of the state, and
was an inspiration to the hundreds
of farmers who attended.
The plan of deciding the location
is explained in Mr.. Mobiles letter
and seems the fairest possible. The
letter follows:
Wolf Point Commercial Club,
Wolf Point, Montana,
Gentlemen:-
You probably know that the Nor
thern Montana Corn Show will be
held in Roosevelt county this coming
year, the location of which has not
yet been determined. 1t is necessary
however, that advance publicity be
started, and large amount of the
early detail work be taken care of
in order to make the organization run
later on. This work and
this publicity cannot be taken care
of until the show is permanently To-
Gated for 1924.
You undoubtedly realize the value
of this institution to your commun-
ity, it being the largest corn show
in the state of Montana, and one
that is commanding state and nation
al attention and publicity. The show
is financed jointly by the adjoining
counties, three of which contribute
$50 apiece, and two of which con-
tribute $25 apiece, and the Depart
ment of Agriculture of the state has
also promised us $100. 1t being
necessary that $1,000 be raised by
he county and the community in
which it is held, as said community
will gain practically all the publicity
benefits from the show, it should con-
,ribute $500 at least, out of the one
thousand dollars.

The Hallowells
The first of these, the Hallowell
Company, famous entertainers, will
give a concert under the auspices of
the Legion at the Palm Room at the
Sherman on Saturday evening, Feb.
2. The concert will be followed by
a dance with music furnished by the
Hallowells. Ask your neighbor who
heard them last year about the abil-
ity of these musicians. You will en-
joy this concert and dance.
During the business meeting the
fragrant aroma of coffee waited in
from the kitchen and the business
meeting was hurried on to the cleo
ton of officers for the coming year.
New Officers
These are: Morris Listerud, post
Art Hall, vice command
er; Ed Camrud, adjutant and finance

petizing lunch and after-dinner
speeches were given by R. J. Moore
and Mr. Hallowell, who were invited
for the occasion.
Besides the renewal of old mem
bers there were several new mem
bers enrolled. All ex-service men

ng without lunch at the meetings.
