The the money police say that Murry was also connected with raising subscriptions for the pur- | pose, of tendering a public reception to Julits Kahn on his return from Wash- ington. 1n 1578 he is said to have also col- lected money for a subscription to give a banquet to the Army and Navy Re- public League at San Jose. When seen yesterday Murry stated that he had been a member of Lincoln Post, G. A, was euspended for non-payment of dues. He claimed he was receiving a pension of $30 a quarter and that he was formerly employed in the United States Mint in this city. He aiso stated that in a letter he re- ceived from a Mr. Shears of Baltimore of the Naval Veterans of he ] | a number of members of the assoclation | in this city had urged him to proceed im- | mediately. He states further that th afsing of the subscription was in no way connected with the G. A. R. and that he led no one to believe it was. Last night at a meeting of the generai committee of management of the thirty- | seventh National Encampment, G. A. R., measures were taken to assist in the pros- { ecution of Murry. A few weeks ago the | committee warned the public against | Murry, stating plainly that he wa: nder false colors and was not author- ent the Grand Army in any soever. The veterans in the meeting last night wer had been ar- by false pre- the meeting S. Salomon, general committee i manner | tendance : | ified to hear that Murry tenses. that Henry C. representing the management, should be in attendance the Police Court to-day when the against Martin Murry will be called and the authorities all the assistance possible. [ A charge of forgery may be lodged against Murry. The committee is con- ! vinced that entries in his book purporting to be a register of liberal contributions are not genuine. Charles E. Wilson reported to the com- mittee last night that another fraudulent solicitor was in the field and had visited | the Crocker building later than § o’clock yesterday afternoon in pursuit scriptions to aid the Grand Army. The bogus collectors understand that the pa- | triotic impuises of San Francisco's citi- zenship insure liberal contributions in be- half of the National Encampment of the Grand Army and are taking advantage of the occasion to take in coin for them- selves. It should be understood by the people of the city and State that the fin- ance committee of the thirty-seventh Na- tional Encampment has not yet placed collectors in the field. The regular can- vass for funds will probably begin the latter part of next week. Every book pre- sented will contain the authority of the | holder to ask for subscriptions to the. encampment. The newspapers will give notice in advance of the authorized can- vass. Meanwhile every citizen should be | on his guard against impostors. ES SRt & i New Driveway to Presidio. Bids were opened at the Presidio Wednesday for the construction of a road inside the reservation line, with its en- trance at Broadway terminus, making a carriage driveway of lighter gradé than on the decline from Central avenue en- trance and which will facilitate the ap- proach to the Nineteenth Infantry camp, as well as making necessary the erection | of an entrance gate and sentinel's hous | opposite the intersection of Broadw and Lyon street. This road was the re sult of a petition of the residence owners on Broadway, between Devisadero and Lyon streets, and arrangements have been made through Henry J. Kelly for the curbing and bituminizing of these three blocks, the work having already been commenced. When completed it will make one of the most popular Pre- sldio driveways on account of the wide roadway of Broadway and the marine view at this height being the grandest in the city.

A joint meeting of the general commit- tee of management and the finance com- | mittee of the thirty-seventh National | Encampment, Grand Army of the Repub- | the California Promotion Committee. The topic of raising money to carry out | the elabgrate plans for the great national event next August engaged the attention of many speakers. General N. P. Chipman held that the President would redound to the advantage of the committee in the work of soliciting money for the en- campment. The President’s utterances in which he recognized the influence of the Grand Army in the development of the country were fresh in the public mind, | and would be considered when the com- mittee ' called on the public for funds. W. H. Jordan, former Speaker of the Assembly, said that the character of en- | tertainment afforded to the Grand Army in San Francisco would be noted in every city in the country. He advised against | You should be glad to know that your city has the finest carriage store in the country. delay on the part of committees charged | wiih (he duty of preparation for lhe‘STUDEBAKER BROS' Co H. Friedlander believed that the | newspapers had not given sufficient pub- | licity to the fact that the encampment | would open on August 17, and would as- semble in San Francisco a vast army of visitors.

The suspension of ac-| tivity on account of the Presidential visit was brought about by unanimous consent. All the. Grand Army men had advised that the committees should join the gen- eral public in giving a cordial welcome to the President. Frequeqt reference was made to the collection’ of funds by persons having no authority to represent the Grand Army and this was cited as a hint that it was high' time for the regularly accredited solicitors of the finance committec to be- gin the work of canvassing without further delay. The success attending the efforts of bogus colleciors in ralsing money to entertain Bastern veterans con- vinces the members of the finance com- mittee that the genuine and properly ac- credited representatives of the National Encampment ‘will be generously greeted by the patriotic and public spirited eiti- zens of San Francisco. | Tuesday or Wednesday next A. Shar-! boro, chairman, -and F. E. Beck, vice chairman, of ‘the finance committee will exchange views with George Stone, chair- man of the general committee. A definite plan of action will be submitted to a general meeting next Wednesday evening. | The knowledge that a legitimmate can- vass for .meney. linder the auspices of the committee ,will not begin before Thursday next may cause bogus collectors to take the field at once, hence business | men and others should be on their guard | against imposition Dr. Charles W.
