FEEDING THE CONTRABANDS.

In general order issued August
8, 1867, fifty years ago yesterday
General Schofeld said: "The commits
sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau nav
ing announced that the general Il
sue of supplies to the destitute OF
the districts of the Southern States
will cease on the goth instant, the
time is now at hand when the people
of Virginia must provide for the care
Of the destitute and dependent among
them" The order then goes on 10
Give instructions generally to over
seers CT the poor and superinten-
dents of city almshouses.
The above item reproduced from
the files of the Richmond Times
Dispatch of August 10, 1867, brings
il mind many scenes incident to the
carving out of General Schoflelds
order. Negroes from the south had
made Alexandria their objective point
durinr the four years war. Often
entire families arrived in this CIT!
entirely destitute, literally not having
places upon which to lay their hea"s'
The government erected temporary
structures for them and gave the
males employment in the quarter
masters department at SO per
month and rations, and they manage"
"a got along. In 1867, however. the
var having 5ean over a year, the'F
dream had ended, and they began 10
realize that freedom die no. mean
freedom from labor. At that tine
but little work could be found mere
abouts for this new addition to Our
population, and later in the year,
whom the snow began to fly, many OF
thp manumitted darkeys often sighed
for cabin iireplaces and the big BACK
logs Of antc-war days, with plenty 10
eat.
At that time one OF the JUNIOR
editors of the Gazette was secretary

anplicants for aid we're fling INTO "
Tho Gazette all hours Of the day.
Tho heard had enacted a rule that
tba Alexandria coored people mas'

suanre of orders for supp.les' ana
The SECRETARY, who was acquainted
with most of the darkeys OF THIS
civ carried out the order to the
letter. Of course the newcomers were
not entirely ignored, but AleSah-
drians were served first.
The stat, was out of the union
# the time. and the military SUI!
had charge Of the city to a certain
extent. 1t will be remembered 'ha'
Paul r Hambrick, representing the
government in a military capacity
II t.mpted to change the order OF
things and compel the authorities 20
furnish supplies to the refugee ne
rrocs who had come here during the
war and who had been cast adrlf'
by the Freedmen's Bureau. The late
Hugh Latham was Mayor at the

Hambrick to the Mayor, and the lat

often clip those pointed paragraphs
and preserve them, as they offer food
for thought, bearing 4 simllltude 20

Willie and
His Papa
Precious Gary Youth
Asks a Lot of Questions
About Politics.
About Politics.

As Willie and his pa had been out
several evenings attending campaign
speeches the kid had had but little
chance TO question the old man.
The family was gathered around the
sitting room table. reading the papers.
Here the Tribune prints Mr.. Hodges
speech and runs that he said. Now let
me assure you that I've been = republic
can all my life. That I've voted the
ticket ever since was old enough 10
vote; that I voted it in kentucky. where
I resided, declared the old man.
But. pop. it seems that Hodges has
a bad memory"
Now what's that got to do with it7"
asked the father.
why. Hodges says he has been a re-
publican all his life. Why don't you re-
member that back in 1912 he quit the
republican party and became an ardent
bull moose?"
That's right" put in ma. ITO the
newcomers Mr.. Hodges may be a lifelong
republican. but I remember that back
in 1912 he was progressive
And. pa, breathlessly put in the kid.
he was such & prominent enemy of the
republican party that they made him
chairman OF the Gary city central com
mittee of the bull moose party. Why
he was even the bull moose chairman
four years ago. when Mayor Johnson
was first running for mayor on an in
depent ticket"
Wei. supposing Hodges was a bull
mooser." growled the old man.
That may be no discredit to him I"
said ma. only when Mr.. Hodges is
quoted as telling the people that he has
been a lifelong republican I think that
he shows bad memory
Pop. the Civic Service commission
and the Committee of Is are doing good
work since they began to boost Mr..
Hodges candidacy" half questioned the
kid.
You mean that they are doing bad
work. don't your" asked his mother.
The old man didn't get a chance to
answer. The kid spoke up too quickly.
why. the police records show that
during three years. 1916. 1915 and 1914
the police apprehended here $50 fugi-
tives from other cities. And since these
commissions and committees have been
active since Christmas they have appre-
hended during the past nine months
alone SOS fugitives. The mayor says
this is due to the advertising Gary gets.
These fake reformers' as he calls them
paints Gary bad for political purposes
and 1t gets all over the country. The
crooks really think that Gary is a tough
town and flock here"
"Aw. go to bed. These men are sin
cere" said the old man.
We'll. pop now you know that for
years Gary has been painted bad by this
same gang whenever they had a politi-
cal scheme in view. The real estate
men must like this"
There being no answer, the boy con-
tinued:
Pop. they had the Tribune trying to
discredit Supt. Gleason by successfully
getting him off the park board Did you
hear anything about the plan to throw
the hooks into Vice-President THORPE"
At this juncture the door bell rang
and the visit Of a neighbor stopped the
questions for awhile.

MIXUP At W.T..
HODGES MEETING

II seems that they failed Tuesday
evening to get their wires connected
at the Hodges campaign meeting al
Roumanian hall. 18th avenue and Ad-
ans street
Mayoralty Candidate W. F. Hodges
was quoted in his organ. the Gary
Tribune, as saying to the colored vot-
ers, Now let me assure you that I've
been a republican all my life
Now as a matter of fact old-timers
point out that Mr.. Hodges deserted the
republican party in 1912 TO become a
bull mooser and was city chairman OF
the bull moose party four years ago
when Mayor Johnson was hrst running
for mayor.
Dr. G. H. Garnett. veteran colored
physician. who is well known, made
an Grafton stating that when Colonel
Roosevelt left the republican party he
was one of those who stuck with. the
G. o. p. DR. Garnett. who IS well
thought Of IN the city. is said to have
caused a litter against Hodges. who
did not stay in the party.
Then Judge William Dunn. candidate
for Judge whoghas a wide reputation
for squareness and fair dealing and
who has treated the colored voters
with justice and fairness. said:
Conditions in Gary are just the
same as exist in every other city
in the country. We don't have
such bad city. There Is room for
Improvement"
Judge Dunn is running on the same
ticket with Mr.. Hodges and his state
ments' contradict those OF Hodges, who
sees Gary as an awful hell hole of vice.
The Judge IS man OF the world. Serv-
ing as railroader (being a union man
to this day). fighting under the stars
and stripes IN Cuba, and educated in
the south and at Yale and resident of
Gary for ten years. the Judge has q
keen insight into local and national
civic conditions.
An attempt to open UP Hodges head
quarters at % West 10th avenue failed,
only ten men showing UP.
