BELIEVE HE WAS MURDERED.
The Police Asked to Investigate A.
IL. PrOctOr's Death.


Letters have been received here from
relatives of A. H Proctor. whose body
was found in the river here on the morn
ing of March 3, stating their belief that
Proctor's death was the result of foul
play. The general opinion of the matter
here at the time the body was found was
that it was either a case of suicide or of
accidental drowning.
Proctor's home was in Fitchburg, Mass
where he has several relatives. The let
tiers received here were written by the
chief Of police of Fitchburg. The foupda-
ton for the belief of foul play. as stated
in the letters, is that Proctor was a man
of steady habits and very thrifty. He had
also announced his intention of leaving
for the north the very day on which his
body was found.
AS he was known to be of a saving dis
position and made good wages in his work
had considerable money saved up, as well
as the amount necessary for his expenses
north Notwithstanding these facts, no
money was found on his person when the
body was taken from the water and no
mention has been made of any being
found in his room or that he left any ef-
fects of any value. Drawing their con-
illusions from the facts stated, Proctor
relatives have formed the belief that he
was foully dealt with, and that he was
disposed of for purposes of robbery
The Fftchburg achief asked for fun in
formation regarding Proctor's DEATH and
that the death be further investigated.

Some Minor Changes Recommended
in the Prizes offered.

The board OF directors Of the Military
Interstate Association held meeting yes
terday afternoon in the rooms Of the
Commercial Club at which several impor-
tant matters in connection with the work
was discussed.
Capt Jordan F. Brooks was appointed
chairman of the committee on grounds
and camp site, which will have charge
of arranging the park extension for the
military events of the week. as well as
preparing the camp site forthe accommo-
dalton of the visiting soldiers.
Mr.. l. G. Haas was elected a member of
the board of directors in place of Mr. w
d. Krenson. who resigned on account of
business engagements. Mr.. Haas ~as
notified at once of his election and at
tended the meeting.
The matter of the official programme
was taken UP and thoroughly discussed.
The contract for getting it out has been
awarded TO Mr.. NJ. ]. Sullivan of Chicago,
who is here now to arrange the work in
connection with it. Mr.. Sullivan be-
lieves that this programme of which there
will be issued a first edition of q, 600 copies
will be distributed all over the country,
will be one of the best advertising me-
diums that could possibly be secured. 1t

of the points of interest around Savannah

in addition to the events of the celebra-
ton, which will be set forth in fun in the
programme The official programme As
has already been announced in the Morn
ing News will be in the shape of
United States canteen and will contain
thirty or thirty-two pages. 1t is a pretty
design, and will undoubtedly take well
Col. Garrard reported that he had had
some correspondence with Secretary of
War Lamont from whom he had received
a letter stating that under a rule of the
department adopted in 1895, he would not
be allowed to detail any officers of the
regular army to act as judges of the mill
taTy contests. This was not construed,
however, as being prohibitive of United
States officers acting in that capacity pro-
vided they individually are willing to do
so. The matter of corresponding with GER
tain officers for the purpose of securing
from their number committee OF judges
was left with Capt. Jordan f. Brooks.
The military committee reported some
recommendations with regard to minor
changes in the prizes to be offered. The
work of the association is progressing
most fayorably, and there is every indica-
ton of a large attendance of military COM
panies and rife teams from all over the
county.
