AUTO MURDERS
Kdltor The Star: I have been
wondering for wmic time why The
!>tar ha* not taken up the question
of the killing ami maiming of citi
zen* of Seattle by criminal* driving
automobile*.
If there were a gang of thug* in
thin town who were engaged in the
sending of a* many people to the
morgue and hospital, there would
be n vigilance committee patrnling
our street* with shotgun*.
tine murder ha* already been
committed, it mar be two. and sev
ernl have been Injured Why are
not the laws being enforced?
I have talked with a number of
patrolmen and they blame the
court*, and I am Inclined to think
they are right.
Doe* not Ihe police departmeat
contain another Putnam who could
I l>e plac ed In charge of a squad with
order* to get these criminal* and
make our thorofare* a safe place
for a pedestrian following his daily
avocation? At least, we might pro
tect our women and children.
If t were an officer I could aires!

CUTTING DOWN TREES
Editor The Star: Will von kindly
let me call attention, thru The Star,
to the fact that attractive shade
trees are being cut down along
Madison si., between Seventh and
Kighth aves ?
I understand the city does not
own these trees, but that the prop
erty owners may get permission to
cut them down.
A great number of American
cities nowadays are planting trees
In their streets. Itut we hero In
Seattle cut them down. This Is not
right. We need all the trees we
can get for our streets. Trees not
only beautify the city, but they add
to the people's health. They should
not bo out down oxrept when nhso
lutol.v necessary
I hope tlilH lottor will moo! tho
eyes of property owners along Mad
Ison st and all other parts of tho
city, and that thov will not, unless
'it is absolutely necessary, rut down
'the trees on the sidewalks In front
[of their home*.
