The legislative bill, declared Han- son, gives the board of regents power to sell needed right-of-ways to railroads, but when the legisla ture passed that bill it never dream- ed that the state university would have a board of regents who would sell a $250,000 tract of land to a railroad for $1. - REFUSES TO GIVE UP BABE (By United Press Leased Wire) LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28.— Mrs. John &.

Here's the gang's latest trickery exposed. The gang has sent the above letter broadcast in an ef- fort to fool the public away from Bob Hodge. The gang hoped to make the people believe that Hodge didn’t know how to spell the word “sincerely.” But the gang in its desperate, dishonest scheme over- stepped itself. It faked a IT, The fake letter is reproduced by The Star above. Beside it in one corner is the true signature of Hodge as he usually writes it. Compare the handwriting yourself. You can detect the trickery and the forgery, Bob Hodge never wrote the letter. He never signed it. He never saw it until the gang sprung it. Prof. C. E, Baldwin, hand writing expert of the Se- attle Busin College, brands the fake letter as a crude counterfeit. After comparing the fake letter with Hodge's own handwriting, Prof. Baldwin declares that there is not the slightest resemblance between the counterfeit and the genuine. The gang has resorted to lies, to libel and to slander. The gang has sacrificed the good name of a woman and tried to blight the future of four children in its frantic last- ditch stand for its prey.
