BALLINGTON'S MIND MADE UP.
He Would Not Take the American
Command Ii Ii We're Offered.

New York, March 23.-Ball.ngton and
Mrs. Booth issued a statement, through
Lieut.-Col. Glenn, today. to the effect that
they will under no circumstances take
command OF the Salvation Army In the
United States. This was prompted by a
report from London that efforts are being
made TO induce the Booths to accept their
old command. The statement follows:
Commander and Mrs. Booth will not
for a moment consider any proposition
whatsoever made 10 them from the inter-
national headquarters of the salvation
Army. While Commander Booth VIII not
refuse to see his sister as a sister, both
he and Mrs. Booth are positively and
finally determined to enter INTO no discus
sion and listen 10 no proposition concern
ing the reconsideration of their position.
Their step was taken definitely and
prayerfully when they publicly, two
weeks ago, committed themselves to the
starting of a new movement. and no ad-
vances whatsoever will lead either of
them, or the officers who are at their side.
TO depart from the declarations they have
made. International headquarters is per-
fectly aware of the resolutions which I'M
derlie the whole question and make it i'm
possible for Commander and Mrs. Booth
to continue under their orders
The leaders of the new movement claim
that the London officers are playing d
trick; that they talk reconciliation to pre-
vent many American officers from leaving
the Salvation Army to join in the new
movement. At the Fourteenth street
headquarters Col Eadie received a tele-
gram from London on Sunday, saying
that the orders to bid farewell were not
the result of anything he may have done
in pursuits as an officer in the army. Col.
Eadie sad there seemed TO be a sentiment
prevailing, for which there was no rea-
sonable excuse. that he had been a dis
turbing element in the army. He did not
say why he had been recalled. He stated,
however. that he should be here to attend
the grand reception In Carnegie hall TO
the Booth-Tuckers. This meeting has
been postponed week until April :,

says Commander Booth-Tucker disem-
barked from the steamer TO the tender

Bcoth-Tucker, however. is aboard the

greeted this outburst of the commissioner
argued poorly for the success of an at
tempt to sever the American army from
the main branch in England. Secretary
Fielding. of the Northwestern branch OF
the army said there was not a single off,

DIVORCES VOID.
New York Decision Not Properly
Understood,

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 22.-Judge Rus
sells New York decision on the in
validity of certain Dakota divorces
has been so widely telegraphed and
misrepresented that 1t needs correc-
ton w. P. Miller, the Fargo, N. D.,
attorney, who procured the divorce for
Mrs Bell formerly Mrs. Harry Nc
Gown, of New York, discusses the case
in a letter to D. w. Clendenan, editor
of the Northwestern Law Journal,
Fargo. Judge Russell has held this
North Dakota divorce to be invalid in
New York. Mr.. Miller states that New
York courts have held this for years
as to divorces in other states where
the defendant resided in New York
and had not appeared in the action in
the foreign state, although served per-
sonally in New York. When the de-
fendant is personally served in New
York, and appears in the action in the
ways recognize the divorce as valid.
Judge RusselPs decision does not con-
flict with this. Mr.. McGown was per-
sonally served. but did not appear in
the North Dakota action. The case
will be carried to the Federal courts,
when, undoubtedly, the New York
courts will be compelled, under TIE
full faith and credit clause of the con-
stitution, to recognize as valid in New
York divorces obtained in other states,
where the defendant resides in New
York, and is personally served there
although he ignores the action there
in. In nearly all New York divorces
granted here the defendants have ap-
peared, and the DEGREES are valid in
New York.
