Sympathies Of Westinghouse

and with 4 profitable branch in

revealed today.
Government clerks have given
away during the past year several
thousands of dollars to members
Of this organization.
Ruled by Threats.
The clever heads Of the trust
have managed to keep out Of the
hands of the police by holding it's
ragged members under threats Of
personal violence and Punishment
from the city.
The tattered hordes Of crippled
and otherwise physically incapaci-
tated men who are stationed
throughout the downtown section,
in the doorways Of office buildings
and In Government buildings are.
to a large extent, members Of the
organization.
Many are unwilling members, az
their enlistment in the association
was for the. most part involuntary.

Exploits u. 8. Uniform.
It was learned that the uniform
Of the United States army Is being
exploited in numerous cases. Tn
one instance q Government worker
who had lost leg in the world
war was approached by an agent
OF the trust" who told the clerk
that the latter could make four or
five times as much as his Federal
Job could pay If he would join the
organization.
According to information received
today, the ''trust" not only finds
lucrative stations for it's new mem
bers, but furnishes them with shoe.
strings, pencils or other knick-knacle
which, ostensibly displayed for sale,
are used merely as a blind for their
real activities.
Trust Collects Commission.
The trust" makes it's money out
of membership fees and from a stated
commission collected weekly from
the beggars.
A few men who are known to
Washingtonians as dependents upon
casual charity have held out against
the trust but their places are in
danger of usurpatson and they are
always on the lookout for underhand
violence which might appear after
ward to have been due to accident.
These few live constantly in fear Of
the "trust."
The organization is always alert
for new office buildings or stations
vacated by old beggars, so that there
will be no delay in placing one OF
those on the waiting list.

the business men and heads of all the
civic organizations of Denver on last
Tuesday morning at 10 II. m. in the

DIR. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON EN-
TERTAlNED AT LIVELY SMOk-
Err BY THE DENVER COLORED
CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

One of the most interesting and
pleasant smokers during the mid-sum-
mer season was held in honor of Dr.
James Weldon Johnson by the Denver
Colored Civic Association on last Mon
day evening at odd Fellows Hall. The
hail was crowded to capacity by the
visiting friends and members OF the
association who were anxious TO eX-
tend hearty greeting to the distin-
guished visitor and get a close up
view of the man who has attracted the
attention of the nation to the horrors
of lynching and burning of human be-
ings and who has endeared himself TO
the hearts of his people by the states
manlike manner in which he directed
the fight for the passage of the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill before the last Con-
gress.
DR.. Johnson entertained the associa-
ton in IL most pleasing manner ana
gave the members much food for
thought. He is a most interesting ana
forceful speaker.
IT was an event of great benefit to
everyone present and all felt highly re-
paid for having had the pleasure OF
meeting Dr. Johnson at this smoker
and hear from the lips of one of our
ulStlnSulSneu race ms SiiNNiN
approval and endorsement of the great
work being accomplished in our COM
munity by the Denver Colored Civic
Association.
Especially did DIR. Johnson impress
upon his audience the Importance and
necessity of race cooperation, and at
the same time he applauded individual
effort and success. But the Keynote
of his address was economic co-opera-
ton among the leaders and business
men and women of our group.
In that connection he was most highly
pleased to see that our men were striv-
ing to erect such beautiful and com
modious Colored Civic Community
building here in Denver that would
give our people added prestige, power
and influence.
Thus ended one more notable event
in the history and activities of the
Denver Colored Civic Association.

KING TUT DANCING PARTY Suc
cESSFUL EVENT.

Despite the heavy rain of last Tues
day night, the King Tut dancing party
at Fern hall given by st. Katherine
Guild, was largely attended and high
ly successful, both artistically and IL
nancially. For many weeks Denver So
ciety has been in a flutter over the ap-
proach of the rejuvenated Egyptian
Monarch and his royal court, and the
many beautiful, strange costumes, sus-
pestiye of the weird garb of the an
clients, bore testimony of the wide
spread interest and keen rivalry of the
social set. Naturally enough, AL Green
way was crowned Old King Tut him-
self and his royal court attaches con-
sisted of Ralph Motley, George w.
Gross and "Lige" Jackson, the official
secretary. Hon. James Weldon John
son of New York, was given crown of
honor as was his wife and both grace
fully carried out the parts assigned
them.
Prof. George Morrison (himselO be-
ing on hand, gave the merry dancers
lust the needed musical pep" for such
an occasion and thus Denver's first in
terpretation of Old King Tut will go
down as great big success.
