sion to drill on the golf links. Here the
maneuvers directed by him were wit
messed by great crowds, all of whom

RARBARY COAST VAGRANT
PRETENDS TO BE CRIPPLE
Gets NickeIs by Begging and Is Ar
rested After a Desperate Fight
With Policeman Nelson.

Ed Murray, a Barbary Coast bum"
hit upon the old trick yesterday aft
ernoon of pretending that he was
minus an arm and leg. He sta
toned himself at Kearny and Sacra-
mento streets, sitting upon one foot
and having one of his arms under his
coat. He held his hat in the other
hand and a number of people dropped
nickels into it. Those who did not
were met with a storm of abuse.
Complaints were made to Police
man ]. L. Nelson. and he went to
where Murray was begging. Seeing,
as he thought, a cripple, Nelson told
Murray to get a move on. Murray
jumped to his feet and struck at the
astonished policeman with both hands.
Nelson instantly recognized him and
soon took all the fight out of Murray,
who was taken to the City Prison and
booked on a charge of begging. When
searched one of his pockets was al
most filled with nickels. The Judge
will probably sentence Murray to
warm quarters with three meals a
day, as there is no chain gang, no pun
ishment other than shelter and food
for such men.

TO ERECT
GOOD BUILDING
San Francisco Nursery for
Homeless Children Finds
It's Quarters Too Small
CONTRIBUTIONS ASKED
Foundations of New Struc-
ture Are Laid, but a Large
Sum Is Still Required

The San Francisco Nursery for
Homeless Children is one of the oldest
institutions in San Francisco. For
many years it has been doing nobly
and well the work for caring for poor
children. but now appeals to the public
for aid in the erection of a new build
ing to house the increasing number
of applicants.
The work Of the nursery Is different
from that Of other institutions in the
city. 1t receives aid from no church.
as it is non-sectarian, and gives to all
the little ones a broad Christian train
ing. The nursery previously received
children Of both sexes under the age
of IA, with no other recommendation
than that of necessity. At the present
time, however, 1t is compelled to turn
away from one to six applicants daily,
owing to lack of accommodations.
1t is the endeavor of the nursery to
give the children a home free from
anything that would mark them as in
stitution children" At present sew
enty-five children are living in the
building at Twelfth and Mission
streets-a house that is old, not ar
ranged for nursery work, unsafe in
case Of fire, and even insecure in the
society's tenure of it.
After many years of close economy
and hard work the nursery has been
able to purchase a block of land on
Lake street. between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth avenues, and the need of a
new building is keenly felt. Plans for
the building have been finished and
the foundations laid. The sum Of $15,-
900 has been raised, but fully $4,000
more is necessary to complete the
work.
Contributions of any description will
be gratefully received by officers Of the
nursery. In aid of the good work the
Wells Fargo Express Company has
consented to ship free Of charge all
packages addressed to the nursery un-
der fifty pounds in weight. All sub
scriptions and donations of supplies
should be addressed to the San Fran
cisco Nursery for Homeless Children,
