RAY LANG FINALLY
SHOWS HIS COLORS
CONTINUED from page y

Evidently Ray Lang had used the
$2,50O.00 which his Finance COrpOr-
alton insisted upon recovering fer the
purpose of placing bets on the INST
election in favor of the candidates
which he wanted elected and fer the
purpose of helping StOrkan finance
his SANDER rag which has not pub
lished one truthful statement since
StOrkan and Lang took it over.
Ray Lang will look for some bet
ter place in which to practice his
questionable business methods as
soon as the 600 stockholders and 1000
subscribers of the Producer News get
wise to him. He is a typical die-hard
who is slandering the officials of
Sheridan county at every opportunity,
minimizing their integrity, ability
and honesty and maintains-instead
OF Ford service station and eff
clent Ford agency-prOpagand head
quarters against the officials which
the voters of Sheridan County elected
by huge maiorities at the last two
elections, despite the fact that most
OF the very officials whom Lang
fought openly in the past two cleo
items later went to him and purchased
Ford cars and done business with
him.
There is one sure way for Lang to
lose out, and that is to fight the Pro-
ducers News, the farmers and the
officials in Sheridan county He
has chosen to take that course
and the farmers and the workers
are doing the rest. No Ford agent
nor pilster nor any Of their support
ers will fight the farmers and work
ers in Sheridan county and still ex-
pect their business. The farmers, al
though they use Fcrds, will buy some
other make of cars. before they may
be induced to do business with Lang
and his Montana Motor Company.

An offer to submit to Attorney Cen
eraI Stone the extensive records OF
the American Cicil Union, involving
alleged illegal activities of the Bureau
OF investigation against labor and
radicals during the regime Of William
!. burns, was sent this week by Dr.
Harry F. Ward, chairman of the Civil
Liberties Union. The offer was made
following the Attorney Generals an
management that he would recognize
the Bureau of Investigation.
The Union points out IN It's o1ter
that the Bureau has created a ma
tlon wide system of espionage on rad
zeal and labor organizations and on
individuals connected with these
movements" A memorandum accom-
panylng the Unions offer charges
the Bureau with intimidation, fraud
and other unlawful activities IN main
tanning a secret police system of a
political character, actively Interior
ing with the civil rights of citizens"
The chief characteristics of this sys-
tenn, according to the Unions mem
Orandum, are as follows:
1. The collection of information
about alleged radicals, radical and
labor organizations, publications and
propaganda, most Of which, judged by
The Bureaus public statements, is
grossly inaccurate and obviously col
Ored to maintain the thesis that there
is a formidable cred menance" in the
United States designed to overthrow
the United States government by
force" Thousands of persons who
TETO11lH cT7ok1 ont
are cn the Bureau of Investigation s
lists as committed to it. We submit
that these lists, which according to
the Bureaus report total several
hundred thousand, should be des-
trOyed as of ne value whatever to
the government and a sa source of
potential persecution Of innocent cit
liens.
2. The dissemination of propaganda
intended to support the Bureaus thes-
is that there is a cred menance" in
the United States and that the Blu
Teau's espionage activities are there
fore justified en- the scale of the
greatly expanded appropriations dur
ting and since the war.
3. Public statements by the direc-
tor of the Bureau of Investigation
warning the public against revolu-
tionary outbreaks, May-day demon
stratiOns and the like. with assertions
that the Bureau is fully prepared tt
meet them. No such outbreaks have
occurred. The several bomb explo.
sions which the Bureau Of Investiga.
ton has attempted to fasten on radi
Gals have been worked to the limit
but without catching any bomb
throwers or identifying the bombs
with radical propaganda.
4. Giving to favored sO-called pa
triotic organizations confidential in
formation from the files of the De
partment, both about individuals anC
organizations. This information i!
retailed to the public through these
organizations and helps justify theil

Senator Charges Hoover With Preach
ing Conservation and Then Allow
ing Corporations to MOnOpOIize and

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Expos-
ure Of Secretary Of Commerce Hoov-
er's assistance to the Salmon Trust
theft of the S60,000,0OO year fishing
resources of Alaska, led to the pass
age of the Sutherland anti-monopoly
bill in the senate.
Hoover was sharply rebuked. The
bill instructs the commerce secretary
never again to grant any exclusive
rights of fishery to any corporation
or favored interest. All American
citizens are to have equal right to
fish.
Senator King Of Utah, charged
Hoover with preaching conservation
and then allowing corporations to
monopolize and waste the fish re-
sources.
The bill now goes to the house.
Alaskans fear that the teeth of the
bill will be drawn in conference.
Publicity viii be given to efforts of

KILLED VICTIM
AT ONCE

The story of the boys, Mr.. Grove
said, indicated that their victim was
dead, five minutes after he entered
their automobile. Mr.. Grove said
that his questioning revealed that the
Staying was a part of the plan and
that the youths had no intention of
returning the boy to his parents after
payment of the ransom. After the
crime was committed and the evil
dences of it were destroyed, Mr..
Grove said the boys engaged in a
card game until they went to- bed.
Their confession also revealed an
elaborate plan for collecting the ran
som money without exposing them
selves to detectives the states at
tOrney said. In case Franks had gone
to the drug store as they directed
him to dc. he was to be called at the
drug store by telephone and instruc-
ted to look in nearby refuse box
where he would have found instruc-
items to board a train and watch for
a signbOard after passing a certain
stop. At a signal he was to have
thrown the money from the window,
according to their plans.
The boys the police found, went
about preparations for their feat
months ago by registering at hotels
under fictitious names, establishing
bank accounts under assumed names
in small banks in nearby cities and
