WASHINGTON GETS RID
OF ITS MANY BEGGARS

were mailed to a selected list of pro.
fessional and business men with the
request that they give their cooper
alton to the Missions plan of riding
the national capital of the horde
OF professional down and cutters in
Testing the city.
Results were almost immediate.
From an average of thirty applica-
tions for help at the Missions office
the daily average leaped to a hun
dred and fifty. And practically all
of them introduced themselves with
white tickets. How many of these
same little strips of cardboard, given
to professionals, have been consigf-
ed to the gutter the Mission is OF
course unable to say. Two hundred
| thousand more of the tickets have
been issued and the Mission has
given notice through the medium OF
the local newspapers that anyone
wanting a handful OF the tickets can
secure them at the Mission office.
No Charge For The Tickets
There is no charge for the tickets.
Anyone can secure them ON request.
And the Mission is making every at.
tempt to provide every man or wo.
man in the city likely to be ap.
preached by a beggar with strip
of two of the tickets. They are
placed in d conspicuous place on
newsstands In hotels for strangers
visiting Washington.
From tho first the scheme has
received the unqualified endorse
ment OF the National Capital ana the
tickets have been received enthugias.
ticallys President Harding upon the
receipt OF q dozen strips wrote Mr..
Cory that the scheme sounded ex-
tremely practical to him ana wished
the Mission all success in their cam
paign to make Washington barren
field for the professional pam
handler.
On capitol hill the Senate and
House of Representative members
were heartily In favor of the plan,
So popular have the white tickets be-
come with certain congressman that
there is likelihood of the plans be-
ing introduced all over the country.
In a letter to Mr.. Cory Represen-
tative John Z. Raker of California
expressed an opinion that the plan
Thoroughly applied all over the
United States would practically elm
mate unworthy mendicants."
Representative Benjamin IS.
Focht of Pennsylvania, former chair
man of the District OF Columbia
committee, characterizes the scheme
as a good one and has the Mission
supply him with additional tickets
from time to time.
Senator Carter Glass of Virginia
believes the scheme lis as commend
able as it is doubtless efficient" SEN
ator William p. Dillingham; of Ver-
mont writes, this appears to be a
very good method to reduce the
number of beggars."
Senator Davis Elkins in whose
state Mr.. Cory originally tried ,ut
the plan, says, II very much approve
of the white ticket scheme.
