S. How He Got Aebson's Story.
Hudgins not only got that informa-
ton about the ,Merrimac, but also Hob
sons own story of the sinking of the

When Cervera notified the American
authorities that he would release Hob
son. Hudgins got instructions from his
paper to offer dollar word to Hob
son for his story, and to tell the leu
tenant that offer went for 10000
words. Hudgins was sitting in the

an extra horse to conduct Hobson to
Siboney and make the necessary ar
rangements to put him on the cruiser

Hudgins saw to It that the courier
who 30 conducted Hobson, was for the
time being Herald correspondent.
This courier obtained the full story
of the sinking OF the Merrimac at first
hand In the leisurely ride to Siboney
and without Hobson having suspi-,

Hudgins put in two hours pumping
the courier and then was ON his way
to the beach. returning to the Golden
Rod, lantern in hand. when he heard
some shouts. The shouts were from
members Of Hobson's crew who had
been released at the same time as
Hobson. but had been compelled to
walk along the shore to Siboney. Hud-
gins took them aboard the Golden
Rod, got their stories. got signed state
ments from them. and when they
didn't have anything more to tell put
them aboard the New York. That
done. the Golden Rod scooted to Ja-

While in Cuba. Hudgins as news
paper man was good deal interest
ed In the embalmed beef scandal. In
cidentally, he brought out and mailed
a copy of Roosevelts round robin
complaining OF unfit food. Hudsins
had always been interested In COM
missary matters. He came by that
naturally. His grandfather was the
secret commissary agent Of the Confed-
crate government Hudgins made q
study Of the commissary Of the United
States army In the Spanish.American
war and attracted a great deal of At
tention by his writings on the sub
ject. In 1900 he went on the New
York Herald az q regular reporter.
There had been . great deal Of dissat.

feeding Of the immigrants. Ellis ID.
land is the landing place for all tho
immigrants who enter America

of commissary matters and his repu-

assigned him to look into some Of
these matters. The abuses we're real.
They had developed through years Of
carelessness.
Hudgins knew that II he could have
his way he could straighten things out
on Ellis island in very short order.
He would like to do 1t for the good
of the public. Thinking this way. an
idea suddenly came to him Of how
he could combine good to the immi.
grant and business for Hudgins. He
determined to bid for the contract
for feeding the immigrants. He had

resolute man.
There was another man up at the
Herald who had little money. This
1Das Charles J. Dumas. They formed
firm of Hudgins q Dumas. Their
c6mbined capital was Insignificant
Their combined energy was large.
They had good regulations. and had
the confidence of good people and the
confidence of themselves. One, Of
their good friends was Theodore
Roosevelt. They put in bid for the
restaurant concession at the immt
grant station.
Obtains Ellis island Contract.
Their bid was not the lowest, but
on the recommendation of Edward
Van Ingen. counsel to Commissioner
Of immigration William Williams, the
contract was awarded to them. The
first day they went to work at Ellis
island they fed 5000 persons, or rath
er they served 5000 meals. They were
mighty good newspaper men, but they
proved to be better restaurant men.
They held the contract three years.
In 1905 they bid for the Panama com.
missary contract. By this time they
had taken rank among the greatest
commissary men in America. Their
bid was the lowest. Their reputation
was SO high that millions of dollars
were pledged to their faithful per
formance Of the contract This Pan.
ANA contract was the biggest Of the
kind in the history of the world. AT
the time Hudgins & Dumas figured on
1t they estimated that 1t meant $780,
900 900. and on the basis OF their bid
they would have profit OF from sew
en- to ten million dollars.
They didn't get the contract. It
was awarded to Markell Of Omaha
The action. in giving the contract to
Markell led to a vigorous protest and
then to an investigation conducted by
Senator Tillman. As result Of this
investigation the award to Markell
was cancelled and the government de-
cided to take the commissary matter
into its own hands. -
In 1906 the Ellis island contract
went to rixal bidder. and for several
years HudginS confined his operations
largely to Nevada. conducting the
commissary departments Of some Of
the largest mining concerns Of thE
state Of precious metals. -Four year,
ago he got the Ellis island concession
again.

Such mothers should remember that
their days and their daughters days

This she cannot do unless she is per-

would have to sigh and try to console

you thinking he has never been more
