NEW YORK, March 6.-Major Peter
Glen announced late last night that tho
first public demonstration OF the new re-
ligious movement, headed by Commander
Ballington Booth, will be held in Cooper
Union on Sunday night. 1t Is rumored
that the meeting will be conducted by
Ensign March, who is in command Of
the Bowery corps Of the Salvation Army.
For over a week it has been only through
great effort that Commissioner Eva Booth
has prevented the Bowery corps from Sc
ceding. There is probabil ~ that Staff
Captain Patti Watkins, the mother Of the
Bowery corps, will also be upon the plat
form Her present command, Newark
corps No 1, like the Bowery corps, is ripe
for open rebellion.
Within a few days Commander Booth
will have formulated definite plans to be
pursued in the management Of his new
organization and will have settled upon q
suitable name. Its name will not be
''Christian Crusaders" That Is the name
which was chosen by the former seceders
from the Salvation Army under Commis-
sioner Booth. 1t has been definitely set
tied that the members shall wear a uni
form, but there will be no red in the cos.
tune. Commander Booth will make
New York his headquarters. He has al
ready secured offices in the Bible House.
He will take possession ut once and con.
duct all the business Of the organization
there from now on. He will commission
no officers until his plan OF action Is def
nitely settled Commander Booth stated
that the step he is to take in transferring
the property he holds to the Salvation
Army meets with the approval of all the
big subscribers. Colonel. Nicol has placed
the following on the bulletin board:

TALLAHASSEE, March 6-The Republi-

morning, when the Gunby faction, repre-
senting seventy-nine out of total of 2aO
votes, bolted the hall, claiming they were
unable to secure fair treatment under the
organization affected Wednesday night.
The pending question at the time was
the adoption Of majority re-
port of the committee on CREDENTIALS,
brought in by the Eagan faction, which
were IN control of the convention. The
split occurred after a decision that con-
testing delegates holding seats in the tenn
porary organization should have a right
to vote ON the adoption of this report. The
Eaganites, 40 delegates being present,
adopted the report and then perfected a
temporary organization, electing j. F..
Lee chairman.
The delegates are uninstructed, but all
aro pronounced Mckinley men, with
Reed as their probable second choice The
convention adjourned after adopting rcso-
lutions favoring the Cuban patriots and
urging that government aid be extended
to the Nicaraguan canal project The
boilers, or Gunby-Chubb followers, left
the hall and organized elsewhere with l:t
out OF the go delegates present at the full
convention. Delegates were elected to
