MONEY Is NOW Due.
Hospital Notes Are Now Payable as
$40, 100000 is Subscribed.

At meeting of the Hospital Board
held last evening the announcement
was made that ten thousand dollars
had been subscribed toward the
building fund, and that the first pay
ment of one-third of the amount is
therefore due. Sumner Hayes, at the
Huber G. Kalbach hardware store, is
the treasurer, and 1t is hoped that all
the subscribers will pay the one-third
of their subscriptions at once to en-
able the board to go ahead with the
building operations and have the
money on hand to pay the bills as
they come due. Mr.. Hayes will not
be able to call on the subscribers
personally, and the cost of sending
out notices will be avoided if the
subscribers will kindly respond to
the call and send the money at once
to Mr.. Hayes. In this connection
also the board wishes to ask the
treasurers of church and school So
cieties who may have money on hand
for the hospital to kindly turn it
over at once as all money possible
will be needed to pay for the work
now under way.
The $4,000 already subscribed will
not be sufficient to build the struc-
ture now in contemplation, and for.
which plans are being drawn, but the
board hopes and believes that many
who have so far given nothing to the
enterprise will make subscriptions,
and that some of those who have al
ready donated will increase their sub
scriptions. The one item of $1,000
paid for the site was not contemplate
ed when the building fund was fixed
at $4,000, and this must come out of
the fund. The board hopes to yet
raise this much more in order that
the full $4,000 may go into tle
building.
The excavation for the building was
completed by Contractor Phinney to-
day and the work of laying concrete
and brick for the foundation will be
started at once. Brick is being
hauled rapidly, and when the 100000
are delivered on the ground it will
make an immense pile. Remember
the site is of easy access on the east
end car line, and the board would
like to have you come and see the
progress of the work. The official
notice from the board which makes
the notes now due is given below:
Notice to Hospital Subscribers.
The full amount contemplated in
the notes, ($10,000), having been sub
scribed, one-third of your subscrip-
ton is now due and payable to the
Treasurer of the Association, Mr..
Sumner Hayes. Kindly respond at
once, as the money is neeoed to pay
for the building operations which are
now in progress. Mr.. Hayes may be
found at the Huber & Kalbach store,
where an omcial receipt will be given
for money paid. ~ order of the

says she was dragged to the floor by
her head, a revolver was thrust in
her face, the robbers demanding that
she tell where her husband had hid
den his money, and warning her not

husband had left no money in the
house. When they saw tSat she would
not tell, the two men bound and
gagged her.

her, twisting her wrists, burning her

Washington. Sept 26.-Marincs

Mare Island at rate which made =

F. Elliott, commanding the Marine
Corps, to detail second lieutenant
and several experienced enlisted men
as q squad whose sole duty 1t is to
search San Francisco for deserters
from the marine corps.
So great has been the demand for
laborers in San Francisco that rep
resentatives of labor agencies have
been visiting Mare Island urging the
marines to desert the service and
engage in work in San Francisco.
where ablebodied men are paid as
high at S5 a day for wheeling brick
and mortar and doing other neces-
sary work to clean the city of debris.
Appeals by the marine corps to the
San Francisco police were futile. The
policemen refused to arrest marines
who deserted the service and en-
gagged in work in San Francisco.
Finally the situation became 81,
desperate that the commandant ii,
Mare Island appealed to General Ell
liott for assistance, and he author
lied the creation of the squad, which
is patrolling the city and picking Up
marine deserters.
