ENcAMPMENT NOTES.
The commander-in-chief Coming.

This is regarded at Encampment Head
quarters as the beginning of the end
When those three officers have conferred
ut length with Chairman Warner, Secre
tary Bulkley and the Chairmen of the
more prominent subcommittee, it is con
fidently expected the program can be an
nounced in detail. and the preparations OF
the Encampment speedily concluded.
1t is thought very probable also that
Gen. Burrows will then open the head
quarters of the G. A. Il. Executive Com,
mittee for the apportionment of free quar-.
ters among the veterans. This move, il
taken at that time, will prove an extreme,
ly great relief to the local committees
Half the work undertaken by those bod
les in the past six weeks has related to
applications for free quarters, matter
which--by the terms of agreement ac-
cepted months ago-is left entirely to the
officials of the Grand Army.

Leonard Wood. Mr.. George B. Cortelyou

Police Arrangements.
Mai. Sylvester, Chief of Police, says:
No crowd brought to Washington by
the G. 4. r. could be called disorderly
Indeed. there is every prospect that tho
crowd in October will be distinguished al
one of the most orderly and well-conduct
ed gatherings we have ever handled here
But any such crowd draws to city {
great number of crooks, pickpOckets
and others of the same ilk. 1t is very
needful to take proper precautions asains
that class. Then l am convinced The
crowd will be enormous. and much car'
will have to be exercised to keep th'
streets clear, to prevent pushing and con
gestion at particular points and to pre-
vent violations Of such special and gen
eral laws as to street traffic as may be il
ba
did all this fairly well with an allowanc,
of $4,000.
This year we have S11 600. The re
suits will justify this increase, am sure
Pennsylvania avenue will be very care
fully roped off and wired. Every down
town street will be kept free from jostlin;
and pushing. Our regular force of 60t
patrolmen will be doubled and every par
of the city will be carefully guarded
There will be no trouble about the polio,
arrangements, You may rely on that"
