 There were shouts of we want to hear Lindsey and similar cries of approval from several hundred per- sons assembled at the state capitol building for the meeting and after order has been restored Judge Lind sey was permitted to proceed.
 This meeting has been a camou- f.age fom the start" Lindsey assert ed. He declared that the police last week had followed a truckload of whisky, bound he said, for the ga- rage of a wealthy Denver citizen. arrested the driver of the car and per- mitted the man to whom. according to Lindsey's statement, the whisky was consigned to go unmolested-
 Judge Lindsey assailed one of the Denver newspapers for what he termed "vile publicity" on the case of a man and boy arrested on a charge of contributing to Juvenile delinquency by giving them whisky, and was silent concerning the case of the prominent business man, to whom. according to Lindsey, ESQ., 900 cargo of whisky was consigned.
 Several addresses were made by city officials suggesting means of better enforcement of the prohibition laws. The meeting adjourned with out definite action having been taken. No committees were appointed and the date set for second meeting. : Once during this attack on the city officials and the Denver newspaper which Lindsey charged was trying to protect the prominent citizen to whom he alleged the $30,0O0 truck load of whisky was being delivered, the crowd cheered him for several minutes.
 "This man Is a friend of one of the owners of the newspaper and the purpose of this meeting is not to do anything constructive but to direct attention away from the rich violator of the law" Judge Lindsey shouted

 Frees "Lesser Offenders"

Lindsey of the juvenile court to- day freed Chester Lasater and Clete Hinton, accused of giving young girls liquor to drink.
 In a statement read in open cour Judge Lindsey charged that con spiracy exists among the rich to have the laws enforced only against th' poor"
 If we are to have jail sentences said Judge Lindsey, q would recon. mend that the prominent men involv- ed in the delivery of thousands O dollars worth ot first class booze free of the poisons that in the booz' of the poor are punishment enough be followed, prosecuted and sent t jail.
 .I would recommend that the SO ciety leaders and women of prom thence who are interested in getting these lawo enforced send their in yestigators into .he homes of tn rich with search warrants to inspec their cellars and then have the cour age to go after them.
 'I would recommend that they cal one of our leading business men an social lights before their boards an committees and il possible make hir tell what he had to do with thou sands of dollars worth of first clas booze found in his garage this weel
 AWhen the upl.fters and upheaver will do a little more work of thi kind if will dc more to encourage tn co,,rts to enforce the laws we hay
