-~ SALVATION ARMY'S . D.C. RECORDRAISED 3,934 Open-Air Meetmgs in} Past Year, With Attendance of 48,644. Religious work of the Salvation Army in Washington during the past vear has exceeded that of any previ- ous twelve months in the history of | the organization, according to a re- port just compiled on the religious meetings held. ’ The primary purpose of the army in its organization has always been to take religion to the man in the street, to reach those men who could not be reached by the established churches; and. where possible, to supplement the church work, says a preface to| the report. Statistics show that the three Sal- vation Army Corps working in the District held in the past year 3,934 open air meetings, which were attend- ed by a total of 48,644 persons. The 441 indoor meetings held at the Sal- vation Army halls were attended by approximately 29,000 persons, making a total of 77,644 persons reached by this organization in one vear. In ad-| dition, 29,600 copies of the War Cry, official publication of the organiza- tion, were sold. ] Humanitarian Endeavors. This religious service, together with | the social service, or relfef work, con- | stitutes the two big humanitarian works of the Salvation Army, for| which it is now attempting to raise | $30.000. Tn its efforts to carry the teach- ings of Christianity to men and women in the highways and byways, it is doing a service attempted by no | other organization on such a large &cale. it is pointed out by Army offi- cials. “The appreciation of the Christian people of the District in this service of the salvation army.” said Rudolph Jose, chairman of the citizens com- mittee in charge of the District cam- paign for funds. commenting on the report, “is evidenced by the many letters which accompany contribu- tions to the yearly budget, and while this service is less spectacular than the maintenance of the many char- itable institutions, which the army maintains throughout the country, it is regarded as first in the considera- tion of army officlals.” Contributions to the $30.000 now being ralsed by a committee of cit- izens for the year's work in the Dis. trict should be sent to the Salvation Army. 607 E street northwest, Mr. Jose said GOL. CLIFTON SAYS | HE S PLOTVIGTIM | D. C. Attorney Denies Liquor | Smuggling Charged in New | York Indictment. | Claiming that his indictment with eight others by a New York federal ! grand jury Tuesday in cohnection with an alleged $1,000.000 liquor con- { spiracy is the result of a deliberate “frame-up,” Col. John W. Clifton, Vanderbilt University graduate and | prominent Washington attorney. said yesterday that he would go to New York ! in a few days to “fight the case to the limit.” Col. Clifton. according to allegations, | used his influence to obtain with- drawal permits for liquor in ware- houses which subsequently found its way Into bootleg trade. It also was charged that papers and telegrams seized in ralds several months ago on the Cumberland Chemical Com- pany, a Tennessee corporation, linked ! the names of Clifton and Thomas C. | Craven, a liquor warehouse pro- prietor, one of the nine indicted, with whisky smu.gling from Canada to ! Cuba. | In answer to a warrant issued by Commissioner George H. Macdonald. | who acted on information furnhhed by the district attorney’s office in | New York, Clifton surrendered to lhe New York authorities March 5. He‘ was then released under bond of | 35,000 fixed by United States Com- | missioner Hitchcock. Denies Smuggling Knowledge. Col. Clifton, who lives at the Uni- versity Clut and has been practicing | law here since 1913, denied Knowledge | of the liquor smuggling operations, | and declared that he could prove the ! falsity of the allegations. “It has| been two years.” he said, “since 1] have been in the prohibition office.” | A lengthy statement was issued by | Col. Clifton containing what he term- ed was a complete narrative of the course of events which connected his name with the alleged rum conspir- | racy. “l have no more knowledge of | acting improperly or unethically in this | case than vou have” he told a Star represent. . “Tt is a terrible trag- edy in the career of a young man to have a thing like this framed on him. The action of the grand jury in New York simply amazed me." Accord to Col. Cilfton's state- | ment, his, n#me was drawn into the | affair through .overtures of certain | men in New York. to retain him counsel to try to Wet the Treasury Department to release™a heavy bond | Tor the owner of a defunct brewery plant UNIVERSITY’S ANNUAL ’ EXERCISES TomaHfT S Frelinghuysen Commencement, Scheduled 8 P.

But “ien the flu had disappeared it left me full of pain, and I had chilblains in my beard and fantods in my brain. And of the doctor I would beg relie from anguish dire: he gave me pills to heal my leg, and squelch my inward fire. He saw that I was but a wreck, containing many woes, and gave me pills to soothe my neck, and pills to bleach my nose. The habit fastened on me then, as habits dire will do, and now | spend my iron men for pills have sugar coats, and some of them have sugor coats, and some of them are bare, and some are good for aching throats, and some for falling hair. And some are sour and some are sweet. some green. some pink. some red; [ take a dozen when I cat, and when I go to bed. My thoughts were once of things sub- lime, of birds and babbling rills, but now I'm thinking all the time cof new designs in pills. T used to talk of books and art and rainbows o'er the hills, but now I wander in the mart and price the latest pills. I'm taking piebald pills and pink. and pills of dappled gray. and still my health is on the blink, I'm getting worse each day. (Copyright.) ~ WALT MASON. e 150 IN FLOWER SHOW.
