An expose of the methods of certain

Washington which are alleged to be run
more for the benefit of promoters than
for charitable purposes featured the an
nual meeting last night of the Associat-
ed Charities of the District, held at

dollars raised for their purposes every
year only an Insignificant fraction is ever

Allusion was made by Mr.. Clephane TO
a certain home for young women in the
District which, he declared, is woefully
lacking in equipment, but sis continually
placing in the homes of our people en-
veIopes for cash contributions and re-
turning later and gathering in large
sums of money which go into the pockets
of the promoters of the scheme, with no
accountability to any one and with no
beneficial results to the community
The speaker also criticised the prac-
tice of otherwise well managed 1nstl-
tutiens of giving entertainments ad-
vertised to be for the benefit of charity
at which thousands of dollars are col
lected, but only a few hundred of
which enrich the charity, the major
portion being consumed in expenses.
He referred to society claiming to
organize and conduct boys clubs, and
declared that investigation had dis

RAPSEXC|SE BOARD
AT PROHIBITION RALLY
Senator Jones Charges Attempts to
Nullify Intent of the
Works Law.

That the District excise board is ap-
parently under the control Of the liquor
interests and that attempts are being
made to defeat the spirit and intent of
the law was charged by Senator Jones
of Washington in an address at the
prohibition rally in Calvary Baptist
Church last evening.
Attempts are now being made" said
the senator, ito defeat the spirit and
intent Of the law. There are many in
dications that the liquor interests con-
troll very largely majority of the ex-
else board, and many OF the clear, fair
and important provisions are being
nullif1ed. Instead of seeking to enforce
the law they seem to be trying to de-
stroy it. This is only temporary. The
law stands.
New Board Is Predicted.
1.-THE terms of the excise board will
be ended. if not one way then in an
other. and new board will be OBJ
tanned that will make the law what it
was intended to be.
THE methods now pursued will bring
more strict enforcement of the law
II they do not hasten the passage of
much more stringent act. The steps
taken in the District of Columbia may
De far apart, but they will ever be

try"
Former Gov. Patterson followed with
stirring temperance address, in which
he urged forward the cohorts of pro-
hibition.
The other rally of the evening was at
Emmanuel Baptist Church. where Sena-
tor Works of California, and Rev. Sam
Small of Atlanta spoke.
Want Washington Model City.
Everybody from Maine to California
wants to see Washington the model
city of the continent" said Senator
Works, but it will never be that until
all saloons are excluded"
Speaking of the advance of prohibi
ton throughout the country, Rev. Mr..
Small declared the people will not
stand much longer for any party that
allows the liquor traffic. There will
not be two more presidential cam
paigns before all the political parties
will be racing up .he national pike to
get to the water tank first.
This evening. former Gov. Patterson
is to speak at a meeting in the First
Congregational Church, 10th and G
streets northwest, and Rev. Mr.. Small
at the Metropolitan Presbyterian
Church at 4th and B streets southeast.

Former Ambassador White spoke of

death Mr.. White referred to the
charge, often made, that money con-
tributed to the Associated Charities is
spent in salaries. This criticism, he
said. is superficial and fails TO under

society can render is to help the poor

Associated Charities dealt with more
