Wright Page 9 Article Text: Washington Post March 6, 1915 Gen. Wright Page 9 95 YEARS AGO ON THIS DAY WAS BORN GEN. HORATIO G. WRIGHT, WHOSE SKILL SAVED CAPITAL FROM CONFEDERATES Today is the birthday anniversary of Gen. Horatio Gouverneur WRIGHT, the Union general who saved this city from capture in the civil war. Gen. WRIGHT was born in Clinton, Conn., 95 years ago today - March 6, 1820 - and died in this city July 22, 1899. When the Confederate general, Jubal A. EARLY, invaded Maryland in the mid-summer of 1864 and threatened Washington, the agitation in the Capital was so great that Gen. GRANT, then before Petersburg, had a consultation with President LINCOLN as to whether the presence of the general commanding was not needed in Washington. GRANT at first offered to leave Petersburg, and LINCOLN approved of this suggestion; but GRANT, after reflection, concluded that to leave Petersburg and hasten to Washington might produce a very bad impression. U. S. Officials Alarmed. Accordingly, with some regiments of the Nineteenth corps, just arrived from the gulf, and a few other hastily-gathered troops, Gen. Horatio G. WRIGHT was dispatched to Washington to defend the Capital against the threatened attack of EARLY. There was some reason for the consternation that for a short time, at least, reigned in certain official quarters in this city. President LINCOLN himself was not moved from his usual calm serenity, but nearly all the higher officials were plainly alarmed. Washington had an excellent system of fortifications, but they were very poorly manned, and many other necessary precautions had been neglected. GRANT did not share the anxiety of the military officials, and to a prominent member of the War Department said: "Boldness is all that is needed to drive the enemy out of Maryland, and WRIGHT is the man to assume that." Early in the Suburbs. "WRIGHT, however, had no time to lose to reach Washington in season, for the invader, the dauntless EARLY, was himself one of the boldest of commanders, and, as a matter of fact, was on the road leading into the city before WRIGHT arrived within sight of the Capitol's dome. But EARLY, waiting to make an extended reconnoisance, was still in the suburbs of Washington on the north when WRIGHT's troops were landing at the wharves on the south. President LINCOLN received WRIGHT in person, and the high military officials did not conceal their joy at his coming. WRIGHT was thoroughly familiar with the defenses of Washington, for he had constructed several of them earlier in the war. He was a fine engineer, having been graduated second in his class at West Point, and served thereafter in the engineer corps and as professor of engineering at the academy. He was assistant to the chief engineer at Washington for a number of years before the civil war; was chief engineer in HEINTZELMAN's division at the battle of Bull Run, and as chief engineer organized the Port Royal expedition. Wright's Later Career. EARLY was forced to abandon his attempt on Washington very soon after the arrival of WRIGHT. After a career of great activity in the army of the Potomac, WRIGHT succeeded to the command of the Sixth army corps on the death of the gallant Gen. John SEDGWICK. WRIGHT was one of the most dashing and adventurous officers in the army. He did much to retrieve the fortunes of the early surprises at Cedar Creek, in 1864, and it was his corps that broke the strong lines at Petersburg, in April, 1865, WRIGHT receiving the principal mention in GRANT's report. He was made major general for the capture of Petersburg, and was breveted a number of times for gallant and efficient service. Before his retirement, after the war, he served for some years as chief of engineers. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Page 9 Article Text: Washington Post March 6, 1915 Georgetown Univ. Page 9 HIGHER LEGAL TRAINING. Justice Robinson, of West Virginia, Gives Advice to Georgetown Students. Ira E. ROBINSON, chief justice of the court of appeals of West Virginia, and a prominent legal educator, delivered an address in the Georgetown Law School building last evening before the student body, numbering about 1,000. The speaker was introduced by George E. HAMILTON, dean of the law faculty. Chief Justice ROBINSON said the present era of the growth of the law is one of transition, and that it was, therefore, necessary for the bar to be better equipped as students of legal principles in order that the development of the law might be uniform and consistent. Paying a high tribute to Georgetown Law School, the chief Justice declared that the work of law schools, in improving the citizenship of the United States, by directing the minds of young men toward the study of legal and constitutional principles, was a great safeguard against hasty and ill-considered legislation. On the platform were J. Harry COVINGTON, chief justice of the District Supreme Court; Ashley M. GOULD, associate justice of the District Supreme Court; Henry S. BOUTELL, and Prof. Raleigh C. MINOR, all of the law faculty. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com

Pullman. ASSUMES OFFICE ON APRIL 1 Sylvester Then to Be Retired With Pension of $100 a Month. Latter Is Practically Exonerated of Charges Made Against Him and Later Withdrawn by Representative Park. New Superintendent Is Native of Washington and Only 31 Years Old. Is Newspaper Man. Raymond W. PULLMAN, newspaper correspondent, yesterday was appointed major and superintendent of the police department to succeed Supt. Richard SYLVESTER on April 1. The commissioners authorized SYLVESTER's retirement with pension of $100 a month. Although never actively engaged in police administration, Mr. PULLMAN has been a student of police systems of the United States for many years, and keeps in touch with the New York department at all times through the reports of that organization. Supt. SYLVESTER, in his letter of resignation to the commissioners, said: "Being advised by my physicians, and being myself aware that the condition of my health forbids my longer continuance in the office of major and superintendent of police, with justice to its demands and duties, I have the honor to request retirement therefrom at the close of the current month." Practically Exonerate Sylvester. The commissioners practically exonerated Supt. SYLVESTER of the charges filed by Representative Park, of Georgia, in a statement issued yesterday. They said: "The preliminary examination made of the charges filed against Maj. SYLVESTER by Representative Park, which were withdrawn yesterday by their author, while indicating minor derelictions that might have resulted in some disciplinary measures, did not, so far as the examination extended, present a sufficiently strong case to require the commissioners to proceed with a trial. The charges having been withdrawn, Maj. SYLVESTER is retired upon his own request. "The board of commissioners takes this occasion to express the thanks of the community to Maj. SYLVESTER for his long and able service to the District of Columbia." Leader in Sunday School Work. Mr. PULLMAN has been a leader in the Sunday school work of the Reformed Lutheran Church and in the activities of the Y. M. C. A. He is a great admirer of Billy Sunday and is interested in the scheme to bring the evangelist to Washington for a long series of sermons. "In selecting Mr. PULLMAN to be major and superintendent of police the commissioners were actuated by a knowledge of his exceptional qualifications for the police." said Commissioner BROWNLOW yesterday. "Mr. PULLMAN has lived in Washington practically all his life, was educated in the Eastern and the Business high schools, was four years in the Washington High School Cadets, serving as captain, and since leaving school has had a ????ed experience in journalism and in the forest service. Student of Police Affairs. For many years he has taken an active interest in the police administration in Washington, and aside from that has made an exhaustive study of police matters in many other American cities. He has been a deep student of all the varied and complex problems that are so intimately connected with the police. A man of the highest character, of demonstrated executive ability, and broad social vision, I feel that the people of Washington are to be congratulated upon securing the services of such a man for this position." Mr. PULLMAN is a native of Virginia, and was born on a farm in Fairfax county on November 25, 1883. He has lived in Washington all but the first two years of his life, however, and was educated in the local public schools, attending both the Eastern and the Business high schools. During his graduating year at the latter institution he was captain of Company E of the high school cadet regiment, and was also editor-in-chief of the school magazine and of the first issue of the students' yearbook. Teacher in City's Night Schools. After graduation from the high school in 1903 he was appointed a teacher in the public night schools of Washington, serving in this position for two years, and at the time also taking an interest in the settlement work at the Neighborhood House. During the fall of 1904 Mr. PULLMAN entered the business and advertising office of a local printing establishment and resigned in the early part of 1905 to take up newspaper work on The Washington Post. He has served in the local newspaper field since that time, with the exception of a little more than two and a. half years, while he was in charge of publicity in the United States forest service under Gifford PINCHOT and while he served for a short time in charge of publicity for the White House Conference on Care of Dependent Children a few months before the close of the Roosevelt administration. Writer on Scientific Inquiries. Mr. PULLMAN has specialized in writing on the government's scientific investigations, and is the author of a syndicate letter bearing on the work of all the departments, which is published in a number of large papers throughout the United States. He also covers the Capitol and White House news for the Detroit Times and is Washington correspondent of the Survey, a social service magazine of New York. He has traveled extensively in all parts of the United States, and has given special study to problems of government, sociology, and economics. Not an Applicant, He Says. "In 1905, owing to my connection with The Washington Post, I became interested more or less in police administration," said Mr. PULLMAN yesterday. "True, I never did what reporters call 'police,' which means attending to all the news connected with the police department, but I sometimes was sent out on police stories, and always found such work very interesting. "I have not been an applicant for the position as major and superintendent of police, and before I can discuss fully what changes will eventually take place I will have to look over the situation. I have long been a friend of Maj. SYLVESTER, and I wish him every success in private life." The atmosphere and the knowing nods exchanged here and there in and about the municipal building point to a radical change in the administration methods in vogue at present in the police department. There is no denying the prospect that some of the police captains will be transferred to other posts. One of the oldest police officials in service said: On Eve of Important Changes. "There's bound to be a change in order of things in the police department. The days of sinecure positions and assignments are about over. There will, unless I miss my guess, be many a transfer 'for the good of the service,' and the police captain with the sinecure will have his work cut out for him, and not necessarily in the precinct where he is stationed at present. There is a situation in existence here which prevails in no other city that I know of. Some of the police captains have seen duty in their precincts year after year. Never has there been such a suggestion, in some cases, of as much as a transfer to other fields. True, they grow to know every inch of their territory, but a man is bound to become mechanical with the same environment year after year. They say a new broom sweeps clean, and I think the incoming superintendent of police, with his knowledge of sociology, will see the folly of allowing a man to become too accustomed to his surroundings." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
