PROTESTS
REMOVAL Of
POLICE WOMAN
Crittenton Organization Sends
Letter to Mayor to Fore
stall Proposed Action.

Members of the Florence Critten-
ton circle. an organization actively
engaged in the guarding of unpro-
tected girls and aiding unfortunate
girls back to the state Of seIf-respect
and self-support, has sent a letter
to Mayor Carson, protesting against
the proposed removal of Policewom-
an Minnie Evans from the force.
The letter follows:
Whereas, 1t has been reported
to the Florence Crittenton circle that
the city administration is consider
ing the removal of Mrs. Minnie
Evans as policewoman; therefore,
BE it resolved That since the
mayor has put himself on record as
promising 10 do all he can toward
curbing commercialized vice with
the assistance of well meaning
board of safety, that viii have con
troll over competent police force
and further promised TO do what
he could 10 promote morality in the
city
And whereas. The Florence Crit
tenton circle used all the influence
possible 10 secure the appointment
of Mrs. Minnie Evans as pOlicewom-
an. because of her long service with
the Associated Charities and because
of her intimate knowledge of girls
and her motherly sympathy for
them and because we believe that
she has proven herself eminently
fitted for this position by her ju-
dicious care of the many girls who
have come under her supervision
And whereas. Much of the sue
cess of the work of the Florence
Crittenton circle has been able to
accomplish is due 10 the efforts and
cooperation of Mrs. Minnie Evans
and our work among the young girls
OF South Bend would be seriously
handicapped by dispensing with her
services
BE il resolved. That the Flor
ence Crittenton ci-cle vigorously
protests against the removal OF Mrs.
Minnie Evans as pohcewoman.

What we desire and insist upon
