[ARE SEEKING FOOD Cold Weather Brings Suffering to the Poor. ge JUDGE MILLERS TWO LETTERS An Official Spoke of the Induce- ments to Tramps. SOME ESPECIAL CASES With the decided change in the tempera- ture comes an increased number of poor persons, who are seeking food and clothing as well as fuel, and many of them are seeking places of shelter. The first caller at police headquarters this morning was a citizen of South Washington who wanted to report a case of distress, and he was by no means the only one who called during the day to unfold to Chief Clerk Sylvester, who has charge of the charity work, tales of destitution and suffering. Deputy Marshal Springmann was the one to make the early morning complaint. He reported that in a house at 9th and H streets, living in a basement, is a woman with five children, and he says they are penniless and are in reed of food, fuel and clothing. The woman's husband was sen- tenced to state’s prison only a short time ago for embezzling a small amount of money from the keeper of a livery stable, and the wife and children are without any means whatever. The woman, he says, sold her clock for $2 to pay her house rent, and when the month was up, and she could not get to- gether the next $2 rent money, she was given noiice to quit, and she is now afraid of being ejected. This is only one of a number of similar ceses called to the at- tention of the police recently. While there has been a steady demand for charity all the summer, and the num- ber has increased during recent days, the number is not so large as it was this time least year when the charitable work was commenced by the central relief committee, with headquarters at the Centrai Union Mission. The Relief Committee. This committee has not yet been called together, although it is still in existence. The members of the committee were Mrs. J. W. Babson, Justice C. C. Cole, Charles G. Conn, Joha F. Cook, L. S. Emery, Law- rence Gardner, Miss Harriet B. Loring, Theodore W. Noyes, Dr. L. W. Ritchie, John G. Slater, James W. Somerville, John Tracey, B. H. Warner, Beriah Wilkins and Mr. Isaac L. Blout. The officers and subcommittees were: Chairman, C. C. Cole; vice chairman, Miss Harriet B. Loring; secretary, i. S. Emery; treasurer, Beriah Wiikins. Committee on ways and means—Theodore W. Noyes, I. L. Blout, Beriah Wilkins, Dr. Ritchie and Mrs. J. W. Babson. Distribution committee—Lawrence Gard- ner, Miss H. B. Loring, John F. Cook, John Tracey and J. W. Somerville. Auditing committee—B. H. Warner, John G. Slater and Charles G. Conn. Committee to canvass for contributions of money and supplies—John B. Wight, Mrs. H. B. F. Macfarland and George E. Emmons. This committee will not be called together unless there is a great amount of suffering which cannot be alleviated by the police and cxisting charity organizations. Other Work. The police department is doing all it can with its limited amount of funds, and only worthy cases are relieved, and all cases are fully investigated before being passed upon. The municipal lodging house is in opera- tion and every night accommodates from thirty te seventy unfortunates. This in- stitution, although intended for tramps and other strangers, manages to care for many persons who live here. Men unable to get fcod or who sometimes want to enjoy the laxury of a comfortable room in which to sleep go there and saw wood for what they get. Bringing Tramps. Some members of the police department are complaining that the tramps and people who have no claim on this commun- ity whatever get too much of what is do- nated to the poor of the city. The good food and comfortable quarters given these people, said an officer, serve as an induce- ment for them to come here and the holiday dinner announcement, he says, always at- tracts them here from other cities. He thinks there is too much leniency shown the tramps, and that instead of being lodged and fed they should be driven out of the city or sent to the work house. Many of them have been arrested and some sent out of the city, or released, while others have been sent down. But most of the charity organizations deal with the poor who belong here, and it is said that the tramps will not fare as well this winter as they did last. The police, Associated Charities and Central Union Mission, as well as other charitable organ- izations, will continue the good work this winter, and will receive and distribute ar- ticles of food, fuel and clothing contributed. Judge Miller's Letters. Judge Miiler received two letters today, one asking him to do an act of charity in a case before the court, and the other asking his assistance for a family in which there are six young children, besides the mother and father. One letter, which referred to the case of a colored woman charged with a violation of the liquor luw and keeping a rderly house, reads n the case of Mary A. Johnson, which comes before you today, will you ‘not, in case of conviction, see that some action is taken in regard to her children, aged eight id ten. I am informed that since her ar- rest they have been without fire, light or food, except what those as poor as them- selves have been able to give. Hoping this will not tax your well-known benevolence too far, I have the honor to be,” etc. Both Mr. Pugh and Mr. Mullowny were consulted, and upon their recommendation the woman was released on her personal bonds. The other letter was written by the moth- er of the fcur, as follows: “Mr. Miller—Allow me the privilege, dear sir, to write to you stating my circum- stances, as I am a poor lady without means, two members of the family sick and husband out of work, with no food, no fuel ard about to be put out of doors. Mv husband is a poor laboring man, without any trade, and he is a sober, industrious man, and will work when he can get it. “All I want to krcw is if there is any way I can get helped, for the sake of my poor little children, as there are six of us in the family, and not a bite to eat and no fuel to keep us warm. If you could use your influence for us you would be doing deserved charity to a destitute family in need, and I will never fcrget you for it.” The woman lives on Half street southeast between N and O streets, not far from the James Creek canal. Judge Miller referred the ietter to Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police department, who sent an officer to investigate the case. pirbasianroen ees Gets Damages. In the case of Jeannette Keys, adminis- tratrix of the estate of her husband, Rob- ert Keys, who was killed on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad at the Benning cross- ing several years 2go,against the company, the jury returned a verdict in her favor yesterday afternoon, granting her $7,000 damages, she having claimed $10,000. Keys was one of a party of men who drove on the tracks, when the train dashed into them, killing several of them. It was claimed by Mrs. Keys that the gates were not lowered, and that there was no flag- man to warn the party. The suit decided yesterday is one of several which have grown out of the accident. —__— — For Divorce.
