of officer who win walk up to a
neighborhood store, order people to
get out and go home. simply because
the hour. is late, and they are there
talking with the owner, as has long
been their custom. And then when
one of them did not move fast
enough to suit him, take out his
billy and use the lash end to whip
him down the street. This has late
ly been done.
We believe that there can be
found in Miami, a number of Ne
gro men of character, who will
make fine officers, and if given the
chance they would show a general
change in law enforcement among
us for the best. But we repeat, it
is not white law or black law we
ask, but the kind of enforcement
which will tend to create better
conditions, and not develop strife
as had and is now being done.
We call your attention to the
open violation of the Sunday clos
ing ordinances in our section. The
violations are open and fragrant.
Dance halls and night clubs do not
wait until IL o'clock Sunday night
to begin their dances. They open
their doors and begin selling adj
missions at 8 pm. Their can be no
gainsaying the influence religious
training has upon the life of any
people. We respectfully submit that
these Sunday closing laws ought be
vigorously enforced, to the end
that the Church might have fair
opportunity to do its share in com.
munity uplift
Our housing conditions are deplor-
able. We know that our local au-
thorities cannot build houses. But
we respectfully submit that those
in authority can exercise their high
offices to the end that our present
conditions become more bearable.
We can have better street lighting.
We can eliminate number of spots
in our section most uninviting to
travel after dark. because they are
veritable set-ups for hold-up men.
We wish to expressly endorse the
editorial appearing in the Miami
Times on November 20, 1886 and
entitled "Most Regrettable." 1t ex-
presses to large degree. the feel
ing and position of the entire color
ed population of this City.
We can not close without repeat
ing our sincere thanks and apprecia-
ton to the officials and heads of
departments who have done SO much
to better our conditions. We wish
them to know that we are not un-
mindful of the difficulties under
which they. at times. labor. The
same sense of gratitude we give to
that large unofficial group of white
people who. in their own way, are
making 1t possible for us to enjoy
a better life. But we in no wise

easily remedied, provoked this dis
grace upon our City and upon us in
the presence of a thousand visitors.
If there were a substantial fence
around that park, fence the storm
could not blow away, fence from
which boards could not be taken by
vandals, fence built of lasting ma
terials, then the need of police to
keep back free watchers would be
eliminated. Certainly it cannot be
denied that it is sad neglect of
the recreational facilities of $4,000
people, one fourth of the popula-
ton of this city, that they have no
place for athletic events but an
o pen field. with small wooden
stand of doubtful security, and no
way to protect necessary gate re-
ceipts.
We cannot but believe that the
Honorable City Commission and 9TH
ers in authority have never been
informed of this very deplorable and
neglectful condition,
Second, we stand for law enforce
ment and the free opportunity for
the exercise of their rghtful au-
thority by the police officers. But
we respectfully complain against
and protest such indiscriminate
beating, slashing and abusing Of
persons as was practiced by the po-
lice. or some of them. at that game.
A number of us present saw moth
ing happen which justified this con-
duct. There can be no excuse for
first beating the heads of the Tam
pa coaches and then inquiring later
what right they had upon the play
ing field.
1t is our contention gentlemen,
that we are too often sent the wrong
type of officer. We are not getting
from them police protection, but a
campaign of police terrorism. We
want the firm officer, white or
black, who is positive, strong and
unyielding in his purpose to pre-
serve the peace. We want the Off
Ger who has as much respect for
his own authority as he requires us
to have. We advocate force when
necessary, and are aware that 1t is
often necessary. But let the reason
therefor first exist.
We do not want in our section
that officer who is just beginning
his police career, because we firm
~ believe that he is not well enough
acquainted. either with us or with
law enforcement, to get the best
results. He relies too heavily on his
club and pistol, and too little on his
judgement and ability. We do not
want that type of officer who will
Unfortunately walk up to three
scolored men talking on a street
corner and ask: What you damn
niggers preaching about?" This has
lately been done and provoked a
very uncalled for and unpleasant
situation. We do not want that type

FWS CONVINCED NO
DANGER EXISTS OF
0vERSTOCKING STREAM

wire received this morning
from Howard Baltic. assistant
director of fisheries for Alaska,
from Juneau, states the following:
THE Fish and Wildlife Service
recognizes the pink salmon escape
ment is adequate at Anan and in
three other localized areas in
Southeastern Alaska But 1t is also
convinced that there is no current
danger of oyer-stocking, based on
reports of several qualified OBJ
servers both within and outside of
the FWS. who agreed and indicat-
ed the present run was not mater
tally greater than some others in
recent years.
Conservation policy of FWs
this year is to commence general
rebuilding of Southeastern Alas
ka's pink salmon by securing sub
stantial eseapements in the major
ity of streams instead of piecemeal
utilization of each run as it oc-
ours, which has proven so ineffec-
tive in the past FWS believes
Wrangell's long-term interest will
be best served by restoration of
the Southeastern salmon fishery
rather than immediate exploitation
of available fish which actually
would produce a very limited catch
and pack
However, the run will be con-
tinuously observed, and any spe-
cial opening deemed advisable will
be announced by the Supervisor of
Fisheries, George Kelez, at least
As hours in advance.
'At attempt by FWS to visit
Wrangell and explain the situation
was made Wednesday afternoon,

THROUGH
THE SENTINEL
PERISCOPE

The Territory lost another orund
in its court battle last week when
Federal Judge George w. Folta
held invalid the law passed by the
last Legislature levying a $50
license fee on nonresident fisher
men. The court ruled the law dis
criminatory as between resident
and non-residents and in violation
of the civil rights act License fee
for residents was boosted to five
dollars. Previously, Judge Folta
had granted a temporary iniunc-
tion restraining the collector from
collecting the quadrupled fish trap
tax. The latest decision could have
some far-reaching effects. 1t it is
illegal to levy a $50 license fee on
a nonresident fisherman, how a.
bout the nonresident hunter who
gets tapped for $50 while the res
ident can do his hunting for one
dollar?
R&#s -
Territorial Treasurer Henry Ro-
den has worked out a deal with
Seattle bankers whereby general
fund warrants can be converted in
to ready cash at face value. The
Treasurer was due back in the
Territory today to present his pro-
pOsal to the Board of Administra-
ton which is expected to give its
approval. Interest rate is three per
cent which the next Legislature
will be asked to appropriate. Plan
would cover six months period.
