Mr.. Nye was born in Shirley, Me-, August

was educated at River Falls, where he
studied law. He moved to Wyoming ter
ritory in 1876 was admitted to .he lar
and found but cool reception. Justice
was administered in those days in such j
fashion that lawyers services we're not in

The barren legal field caused Mr.. Nye
to begin writing for the Cheyenne sun at

the Denver Tribune was given to him
Later he went to Laramie, Wyoming. and
started the Boomerang. His writing at

parts OF the country published extracts

COMMANDER BOOTHS RnrIREMEsr.
A Statement by Col. Nicol Of the Sail
walton Army.

Statement by Col. Nicol Of the SAL
walton Army.
The following statement by Col. Nicol.
the special commissioner sent over from the
international headquarters of the Salvation
Army. has been given out at the army
headquarters In New York:
Il. The resignation OF the commander
and Mrs Ballington Booth. which has been
rendered by them to the International head
quarters. has not yet been accepted by the
general in whom alone is vested the power
to accept designations OF territorial leaders.
We do not accept any responsibility
for the commanders deplorable action.
g. Commandant- Herbert Booth was in
structed by the International headquarters
to come to New York and confer with his
brother on the matters In question, and
having done SO. has returned to Toronto.
Il The international headquarters have
instructed Col. Eadie to assume the tenn
porary direction of affairs
We are awaiting further advices.
I'VE are going on with our work. God
lives. and the flag waves"
In answer to a question concerning the
statement that reward had been offered
for information concerning the whereabouts
OF Commander Darlington Booth. Col Eadie
said: "Sir. there are very many wild ru-
mors af1oat in the world adding: THAT is
a He.'
The acting commander also stated that it
and Eva Booth had come to New York for
the special purpose of court-martialing
Commander Ballington Booth.
In regard to the transferring OF the Sal
vdt!on Army property in this country by
darlington Booth, Col. Eadie said that the
transfer had not been made as yet but
that Commander Booth, in whose name the
American property is had promised to
complete the transfer in due time If such
sfould finally be necessary.
COL Eadie seemed very much dishearten-
ed over the turn affairs have taken
1t Is announced in London that Booth
fucker and wife will succeed Mr. and Mrs
Darlington Booth in command of the Sal
Walton Army In the United States.
1t is claimed that the reason of Com
mander and Mrs. Booths withdrawal from
their Salvation Army commands was due
TO the friction caused by the reports to
London of Col. William Eadie chief sec
rotary of the American contingent Col
Eadle insisted on overlooking all CORE
spondence. He opposed the practice of
some officers Of buying homes, and he OPP
posed the possession by an officer of
morse ana buggy. There are other in
Stances OF disagreement. and it is said
mat Col Eadie's reports determined Gen
Hooth upon the removal of his son.
80 Tar from Col. Ncors mission to this
country being pacific one, there is now
abundant evidence that he was sent here
s0ielE Tor the purpose of ousting Mr. and
MRS Ba]iinSton Booth from office without
further pariey.

The Nuisance of Unused Tracks.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In leading editorial in today's Philadel-
phia Press is a thought which, to my
mind ought to be considered by the Dis
tr.ct committee in the House. It is as fol-
lows:
Gar tracks on streets are an impeachment
to the free use of that street. They are to
that extent a nuisance, and where the
tracks are not used they constitute an I'M
necessary nuisance which ought to be
abated. The mere statement by the COM
pany that 1t intends to use the tracks some
time ought not to protect them if they are
not used and have not been used for
months, or maybe for years. Tracks that
are used only to pre-empt a street and keep
off other companies ought to be taken up
by the city at the expense of the COM
panies owning the tracks. This a city or
appropriated to enable the mayor to have
It's provisions carried OUT
refer particularly to the tracks on North
Capitol street, which extend from New
York aven le to G street, which should
either be used or removed. Car companies
pr.or to a grant, are profuse in arguing that
it would greatly benefit the public to be al
lowed the privilege of extending their line
but in this case, while the public are wait:
sons known to themselves only, fail to see
the benefits that were so plainly stated by
them prior thereto. If this ordinance was
Incorporated in the District laws possibly
they would see some way of giving the puh-
lie what 1t should have in this section. viz. !.

The Mt. Pleasant Accident.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The account of the accident to Can't. ].
S. Standby, published in The Star of Sat
urday evening, certainly calls for some
answer to the statement made by the trac-
ton company. 1t is not true that the
representative of the company showed to
Capt. Standby the conductors report of
the occurrence and that Capt Standby
said it was substantially correct On the
contrary, Capt. Standby told the COM
pany's representative that It was not true
that the conductor warned him that the
car had not stopped. Capt Standley's
statement briefly is this: He left the Will
lard, where he is stopping, to go to the
residence CT Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma,
No. $3.50 14th street. He gave the con-
due tor of the car the number, and asked to
be put off there. The conductor beckoned
to Capt. Standby. who was sitting in the
middle of the car, and the car slowed up.
When Capt. Standley reached the door the
car came to a stop with such lurch that
himself from falling. AS Capt. Standby
stepped out on the platform the conductor
said, pointing to the side of the street:
1T is one of those two houses there"
That was all the conductor said. Capt.
Standby got down on the step and put his
foot to the ground. Capt STANDBY was
thrown violently. He remembers nothing
more until some time later he came to
house, where he had been taken. The
representative of the traction company
called at the Willard the next day. He
told Capt. Standley what the conductor
said and Capt. Standby explicitly denied
that he had received any warning from the
conductor not to get off as the car was
moving. He also told him that he was not
then in a condition to talk much. His face
was badly swollen and his mouth very sore.
The representative of the company stated
that he had the names of witnesses who
were on the car and that an Investigation
would he made to ascertain the truth
Capt. STANDBY was recovering from a
severe attack of grip when he started out
to Mr. Flynn's. He probably moved slower
than the conductor anticipated. Those who
know Capt. STANDBY would never believe
that he would try to get off a car while
it is in motion. Such an act would be
wholly Inconsistent with his character. AS
to what happened when he fell, Capt.
Standley's mind is a blank. His recollec-
ton of what passed between him and the
conductor before he put his foot on the
ground is very clear and distinct. He knows
that the conductor gave him no warning,
and he believed the car was standing still.

taken place in some time was that which
marked the selection of the managing ed

nowadays Is looked upon as one of the
prize places. Two candidates appeared in
the field. Ten editors comprise the editorial
board. and from this number was to be
selected the chief editor. The vote stood a
tie for George Parmly Day of New York
city and Albert Boardman Kerr Of this

any change. and at last 1t was decided ia
get out of the targle by choosing two

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


Attracted by the spiritualstic advertise
ment Of DR.. Lloyd Cooke and expecting to
see at last the often promised and never
realized spirit manifestation, attended the

House. What I saw was very expert Jug
Cling. The doctor understands the arts of
chemical infusions, knotting ropes. appar-
entity tying while leaving hands free at will,
tablet tipping and darkening the theater, as
II by accident when necessary to admit the
entrance Of q lady confederate into the
cabinet to personate spirit He under
stands also how to dismiss an audience be-
fore it could ask for the report of the COM
mitteemen. one or more Of whom could
have laid bare the secret Of most of the
tricks. 1t would have been ungracious,
however, to repay by exposure the skill and
politeness of the doctor. The juggler should
go free; 1t Is only the mountebank, who, for
profit, plays on religious prejudices that
ought to be exposed. w. B.
