Now black boys your testing is here !;

Protection from hatred, q. chance Ia

But your slave fathers fought for the

Gave 1ife-blood right out Of the heart,

Denver, Colo, May 2, 1917.
To The Denver Star:
Dear Friends: We take the liberty
of addressing you concerning the pc
tition for an amendment to the Char.
ter of the City and County of Denver
in the interest of our FIREMEN and
POLICEMEN and earnestly solicit
your sincere an dactive support OF
this amendment.
We have been forced to bring this
issue before you, because as servants
of the people they are the only ones
possessing the power to raise our sal
ary to a standard in keeping with the
present high cost of living.
The standard of an American city IL
no higher than that Of its protection
and safety as carried out by its police
and fire departments.
A mans ethical, standards are nc
higher than his home surroundings
therefore you are respectfully asked
to help US keep our home surround
ings up to a standard that will be
commensurate with the standard Of
our beautiful city.
YOU CAN DO THIS BY VOTING
for our petition on May 15th-it is
first one on the ballot.
Wages are being increased by all
of the corporations and cities of the
country-they realize that by 30 doing
that they are increasing the efficiency
of their employees. Let US not fall
behind them in this or any other re-
spect.
WE, YOUR COLORED F1REMEN
AND POLICEMEN sincerely trust you
will take the time to interest your
selves in this matter and vote Tor our
amendment on MAY 15TH-we need

senting such practicable and worthy
objects and we pledge to them our
heartiest support for the success OF
that amendment We are deeply in
terested and have been for some time
in the affairs Of our own policemen
and firemen. We have thought often
of the vacancy left by our lamented
Ike Gilmore. Now, when 1t comes to
helping our own with others get an In
creased pay in order to maintain the
resentative home surroundings. espe.
cially during this period when high
cost of living IL touching every home
and when enemies within are liable al
any time to burn and set nres to every
and everything, The Star thinks that
it is the least of its duty to urge 9th
ers to help our own by helping them
selves. Now. Negroes of Denver, vote
for Amendment No. /. Put pin in
that. A vote for No. means q vote
for every Negro in Denver Churches

RESOLUTION OF coNooLENcE
Cripple Creek. Colo,

Cripple Creek, Colo,
April 25th, 1917.
Resolutions of Coincidence ON the
death of Mrs. Mary Scott, who depart
ed this life April 21st at a. M:
"She hath done what she could
Where it falls within the Providence
to take from us one of the old sup
porting timbers whose duties, life
thoughts and heartbeats that 80 often
intermingled with ours, that the least
detection or the stoppage of the usual
activities is generally felt by every
one in the community. To all the old
timers in Cripple Creek, and especial
ly to everyone associated in church
work, Mrs. Mary Scott, who for years
was faithful, devout and earnest
Christian worker. Also an Eastern
Star member.
WHEREAS, Her sterling character
was made up of life of little deeds
of kindness, sympathy and sacrifice,
for her ideals, real or imaginary, as
she saw them in her Saviour. Where
as, she believed in comforting the
sick, relieving the distressed and
Strengthening the weak. Whatever
might have been her faults, or her
good intentions, no one denied that
she always tried to do what she sin
cererly could in trying to carry out
the Masters will. Sometimes she
failed, sometimes she succeeded, but
she tried. Mrs. Mary Scott formerly
belonged to the Baptist Church of
this city, but on July 2, 1916, united
her membership with the A. M. E.
Church with her husband, under the
present pastors administration. Be-
cause of her wide experience, her long
service in church work, she soon won
the title of Mother" Scott. She died
at the age of II years. Resolved, that
we, the members of the Official Board
and Church, through the undersigned
committee. do hereby extend to the
bereaved family the deep and sincere
sympathy we feel for them in their
hour of grief and sorrow. We realize
that in the falling to sleep of your
dear companion, and sister, you have
lost your best earthly friend. but do
not weep, for your lost is but Heaven s
gain: but remember, there Is a friend
that sticketh closer than brother,
which is Christ the Lord. We recon-
mend Him" to you. Wife. sister, has
gone, but not forgotten. For the poet
has SO beautifully said:
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls His own.
And bids them leave a world OF woe.
For an immortal crown.

SpOrtsmen's Would Raise
Mortgage Upon Home Of
Judge Denny's Widow

The Oregon Sportsmen 3 league has
issued the following appeal to the coun'
try at large:
Dear Sportsmen As the president of
the Oregon Sportsmen 5 League my at
tention has been called to the fact that
the widow Of the Honorable Owen n.
Denny, who was the first man that ship
ped the Chinese game birds to America
in November, 1882, is now living in this
city and she is in need Of funds to save
her home.
You will remember; good sportsmen,
that Judge Denny was a very able and
honorable man and he has given to us a
great gift well to be remembered. Since
his death in the year 1900 his wife, Mrs.
Gertrude Jane Denny, was left with a
home, and, about four years ago be-
lieving that she could receive an in
come if she could mortgage her home
for $4,000, she did so, but the invest
ment was a failure. During the past
four years she has labored faithfully to
pay the interest on this mortgage by
selling heirlooms, furniture and taking
roomers in her home and now, in her
eightieth year, with about $4,000 con-
tracted debt, she is about to lose her
home. l have been able to have the
withhold the foreclosure for
u while, so please hurry this matter
L fully believe that the sportsmen of
America will contribute 81 or more
each, and that the sum Of $4,000 will
be raised to clear this mortgage and in
debtedness as living monument to the
memory Of Judge Denny and for the
protection Of his faithful and honor
able wife. Therefore, / appeal to you
as loyal sportsmen to Immediately com
municate with me about the matter as
Portland began last week to raise her
share
/ am mailing the various leagues of
the state full particulars, enclosing sub
scription blanks, etc, hoping for their
full cooperation in this very worthy
cause
Mr.. w. R. Sehmeer, cashier U. S. Ma
tional bank, Portland, Orc, has been
appointed treasurer of the Denny Me
mortal Fund Make full report to the
treasurer.
Yours sincerely,

New York Yankees
Win Their Long Contests
BY H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, July ll.-If winning ex-
ira inning contests gave a baseball
club championship, things would be
all fixed up for the New York Yankees
to cut the world S series melon next
fall.
Since the season began the Yankees
have played twelve extra inning com
bats and have lost only one. Twice they
have found the going too rough for
their own winning, but the games end
ed in tie scores.
Yesterday s tussle with the Browns,
II innings long, was their longest bat
tie of the year and they won it.
The Donovan gang got started on its
extra inning way on April Is when
they met and defeated the Senators, Z
to in ten innings. That was only the
beginning for the Senators, for three
other times they were taken into over
time by the New Workers and not once
did they win. On April 10 the Yanks
again overlapped the Senators, trounc-
ing them to 9 in extra innings. On
April 80 they engaged Washington in
a 10 inning game and came off first by
a 1 to count. ST. Louis tackled the
fanks in the extra inning battles on
May l6 and went down, to .. Detroit
then stopped the Yanks with to 9
tie on May 10, but on May 80 they
tangled with tho Athletics in Is in
ming pastime and won it to 0. On
June II, Chicago sueeumbed. to 3 in
l2 innings and on June l3, to in ten
innings
The Red Sox dOwned the Yanks in
a ten inning struggle on June 90, ,

the victims, 8 to 13 nnngs.

Hedges to Command
In New CantonTnenI

San Francisco, July IL Brigadier
General Henry C. Hodges has been as
signed command of the Twelfth, Sixty
Second and Sixty Third regiments of
infantry, forming the brigade in the
new cantonment at the Presidio Word
to that effect was given out today by
army authorities.
Another announcement made is that
although the war department has as
signed an officer to inspect reserve
corps training camps, the Preside
camp probably will go uninspected ow,
ing to lack of time. The war depart
ment has asked Lieutenant Colonel
Sladen, commanding the camp, to make
constructive criticism of the training
methods, and his report probably will
take the place of inspection.
