NEGROES APPEAL FOR JUSTICE

To the Hon. Mr. X. A. Scheid, Com
missioner of Public Safety, and
Members of the Board of Commis-
sioners of the City of Salt Lake:
Gentlemen:-Greetin and cOngratu-
lating you as the highest officers of
our noble city, of which we as colored
citizens constitute part of its con-
stituency. We beg to submit the fol-
lowing: But permit us first to assure
you that we do not come to you with
any spirit of condemnation upon your
part, but we feel that We have a very
serious and just cause to present to
you.
We wish further to assure you that
we stand for all that is true and all
that honest manhood can stand for.
We wish further to assure you that
we stand firm as any human can stand
for law and order. and condemn all
who do not stand for such, particu-
larly at this most crucial time, when
It seems that nothing but the she'd
ding of innocent blood will keep i'm
perialism from ruling the world.
We wish further to assure you that
we do not bring any condemnation
against the police department as a
unit; but 1t is our desire to call your
attention, gentlemen, to matter that
happened on the corner of Second
South and Main street, Tuesday even
ing, April 9th, between the hours of
8:15 and $3.50 o'clock. when three
young persons, a young woman and
two boys of color, were standing there
waiting for a car. (Names. Thelma
Steward. Wallace Thurman and Wen
del Hicks.) A drunken United States
soldier of the Twentieth regiment
came down the street, came up and

year-old boy off the sidewalk, knocked
him down and beat him until this
young woman interfered. The soldier
turned on her and knocked her down
twice. When she endeavored to stop
| their escape, she was snatched into a
car with the license number 969. AL
though she was screaming at the top
of her voice, not an officer could be
seen. She was taken to Third South
and West Temple and there thrown
out by these men. Although they had
the number of the license on the car
and its driver making his confession
to taking the man to First West and
Fourth South, there was no serious
effort made to apprehend these men.

young woman were taken out last
Friday to Fort Douglas to indentify
J the soldier but this was too late No
matter what mark had been on him
remember four days had passed and
the marks could have healed up.
We therefore condemn the action of
the officers on that evening in the
most bitter terms, and ask your hon.
ors to take this matter up and find out
why there was no more effort put
forth to apprehend these men, with
the information they had.
We plead for a democracy that will
be safe for all men in Salt Lake City,
and not land of aptocracy.

PASSING OVER THE HILL.
Three Veteran Women, Old and Long
Respected Citizens.

Denver has been greatly shocked
through the loss of three of her long
respected and prominent citizens, in
the persons of Mesdames Ella Harris
of Washington avenue, Susie Trout
man of 3131 Humboldt street, and
Frances T. Bruce, 2231 Glenarm place,
known as Mamma" Bruce. Never in
the history of the Star have so many
deaths of our prominent and useful
people occurred SO heavily in such a
short time, especially as has refer
ence to our female sex. as have oc.
Cured in this past week, month and
dent church workers, progressive citi-
zens and loyal to their own. Mrs.
Frances Bruce was one of the charter
members of the Household of Ruth,
No. 376, and for years and years their
faithful treasurer. Her loss will be
deeply regretted and keenly felt by
her order. Scarcely any person out
side of the immediate family knew of
the serious illness of Mrs. Susie Trout
iran, and her sudden death came as
a terrible shock to her large circle of
friends, who regret their grievous loss.
Mrs. Susie Mary Troutman, daugh-
ter of James and Mahalia Davenport,
was born in Nelson county, Kentucky,
March 16, 1863 When but a mere
g.rl she was married to Howard
71outman, Sr and to this union eight
children were born.
Mr.. and Mrs. Troutman came to
Denver in 1881, when Mr.. Troutman
entered business as contractor and
ranked among the leading business
men of the community until death re-
rloved him, in 1919
Mr.. and Mrs. Troutman lived happy
and useful citizens in the community
and the congeniality of their lives ra-
dated until they drew to them a large
circle of friends, who, with the love
any loyalty of her children, sustained
him
Her demise has stunned the faIGil I
md friends, as her illness was ycIy
trief. She is survived by eight chill
d'en, Mrs. Harry Bashee, Mrs. Ian.
renee Lightner, Mrs. Bessie Jackson,
James, Lynnwood, Howard, Jr., Elmer
and Tom Troutman; one grandchild,
Harold Jackson; one sister, Mrs. Ed
J.. Thomas of Chicago; one brother.
George Davenport of Louisville Ky I;
nicces nephews, and large ci.c.e of
friends. Thus she closed her cves in
Eternity's sleep, and may her ashes
rest in peace. Earth's loss is lIeayen's )
gain.
Mrs. Susie Troutman will be buried
Sunday from Zion Baptist Church.

10 Advertise Folks
Who Don't Come Across

St. Louis, Sept. 22.- Advices
received from Little Rock at the
headquarters of the Liberty Loan
Organization here indicate that
vigorous efforts to obtain big vol
ums of subscriptions on Volun-
teer days, September %, and %.
are being planned by the various
Liberty Loan Organization thro-
ught Arkansas. And efforts just
as vigorous are to be made to
compel just subscriptions from
all, especially those who should
come forth with big subscripti-
ons.
In Little Rock the committee,
headed by W. B. Smith, metrop-
olitan chairman, has several sch
mes whereby the delinquents,
those who shonld but don't are
to get proper advertising. 1t is
believed thesadyertislng planned
will de very persuasive.
At the intersection of Capitol
Avenue and Main Street, in the
heart of the retail district, an i'm
mense blackboard is to be erected.
On the morning of September %
the names Of all persons and fl
rms whose subscriptions should
be at or above a fixed amount,
probably So, 500 or SIS, 600, will
appear in big letters, Until a firm
subscribes its full quota, absolu-
tely no figures will appear oposi-
tie the name, and as introduction
above the name will announce
that those firms without amounts
set opposite their names have not
subscribed their quotas.
Another section of the black
board will be reserved for anoth-
er list, the slackers, or the firms
or the individuals refusing to
meet the quota assigned. These
names will not be posted until a
thorough investigation is made,
however, to prevent any injusti-
ces. If a firm or individual refu-
ses to meet it's quota. it will be
asked to appear before a special
committee of five impartial men
If it is shown to the committee
that the quota is unjust under
financial circum stances revealed
then the error in the quota will
be promptly corrected. If the
subscriber is unable ssto show
why he should not meet his quota
and continues to refuse, his name
will appear on the board the fol-
lowing morning under the suita-
be heading and there his name
will stay until he comes across.
