"THE cOLoRED CITIZENS
LEAGUE"

Over a year ago number of per-
sons who conceived the idea that
they could offer a solution for the
problem of what was required to
meet the growing needs of our people
as well as combat with certain i'm
mediate pressing demands resolved
on banding themselves into an organ
ization known os The Colored Citi-
zens' League, and ever since its in
auguration, has been active in mat
ters pertaining to the industrial, civil
and political welfare of the Negro por-
tion of the population of this city and
also the state of Colorado. Being the
only organization of its kind in this
western region, and the officers and
Executive Board consisting of men,
bers of the community who have
spent more than half of their lifetime
as residents here moving steadily
with the growth of Denver, the
League feels itself in position to
assist the present city administration
in any manner set forth for the sue
cessful working of the system pro-
posed to place this city in the posi-
tion of standard-bearer with follow
ers eager to be under its banner, lay
ing foundation for prosperity that
will be a blessing to us and a good
example for other cities.
The GET-TOGETHER SPIRIT
which is the basic principle of this
organization is the means whereby it
is able to cope with the issues of the
day especially those pertaining to the
welfare of our city, and the unitary
method adopted in thoroughly ex-
planning matters of difficulty has al
ways been advantageous to those who
have appealed to the League to advo-
cate their cause of action. While ever
ready to join with any institution re-
ligious or otherwise in anything bene-
ficial to the public the League does
not make compulsory any partisan po-
litical belief among its members, nor
allows itself to be dominated by per-
nicious influences for financial gains,
etc, but imperatively orders absolute
observance to the constitutions of
city and state, thereby assisting the
authorities in the suppression of
crime, and vigorously opposing and
denouncing even the faintest attempt
to commit breach of our FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION which is the boast
and. pride of our American Demo
cracy. Realizing our position as an
auxiliary to any form of good gov
ernment and our desire to be in the
march of Denver's progress we com
mend this organization to the peo-
pie of Denver and Colorado as a chan
mel for the expression of their griev-
ances and complaints, their wants
and desires, and representative
agency to State and City authorities
for satisfaction in all matters affect
ing the welfare of the people of Colo
rado.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 9-Julius
Stone, a white man, and his mulatto
wife, formerly Ethel Davis, were
taken to Nashville last Saturday to
begin serving a ten-year sentence i'm
posed upon them at the March term
of court for arson. Stone is a we'll
looking white man, a bartender by
trade, and his Negro wife is a mulat-
to of very prepossessing type. The
Stones were brought back here for
trial from Hartford, Conn, upon infor-
nation furnished by the woman her
self, who in a fit of jealousy exposed
to the eastern authorities the fact
that she and her white husband were
wanted here for the murder of her
brother, and for setting fire to the
house after the murder had been COM
mitted. The murder charge under
which the couple were indicted could
not be sustained, but they were con-
victed by subsequent charge of ar
son which was prosecuted by local
insurance company. ~

Was Vessel of Size.

The Franconia, which was being
used as British transport, according
to admiralty announcement, was a
vessel of 1850 tons gross. and was
built in 1910. Her maiden voyage
was between Liverpool and Boston
In February, 1911. The Franconia
was 625 feet long, seventy-two feet
wide and displaced $4,000 tons. When
She was built she was considered one
Of the most comfortable steamers of
the Cunard line. The vessel was
ntok-named the Bath Ship" insY-
much as she had more bathrooms and
showers than the Mauretania, this
equipment being installed for the BEN
eft Of passengers bound for long
cruise to the Mediterranean. The
steerage of the Franconia was con-
sidered the best appointed of any
steamer carrying third-c class passeng-
ers. The last previous report Of the
Franconia in June. 1915. announced
that she had been chartered to car
ry British troops to the Dardanelles.
