It is npt against the law for a chief to escort any young lady to her room in a down

town hotel at 2a. m. But it is conduct which makes a chief of police lose the respect of

the men in the department and of the citizens generally.

That is the very least that can be said for it.

The case against Lang is not one of legal technicalities. Nor is it dependent on the

exact number of drinks he took, or whether the cabaret girl talked him into taking her

to her room, or he talked her into it.

Whether Lang has been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer can be very speed

ily determined by his own story. IT TALKS FOR ITSELF.

It does not need three lawyers for its TRUTHFUL explanation.

He referred to the Stander farm.

It Is thought. Carrlgan seemed

more favorably Impressed with that

place than with "The Willows."

The county will take |>oßsession of
