SUED FOR HER LOVE PRANK

dispatch frem New York say:
Thomas J. Riley, lie saver. has gu
Mrs Samuel Lloyd Chamberlain !'.r
$4,000. She is the Louise King who
disappeared from q Coney Island bath
ing beach last September, leaving her
maid and lot of clothing to certify 10
her death in the briny deep. After d
hue and cry OF ten days she was found
to have gone to Philadelphia, where
she stayed at several hotels and return
ed TO New York to wed the man OF her
choice. She had taken the sensational
means-of leaving home because the lam
lily wanted her to marry certain yours
msn.
Mr.. Riley. in his complaint alleges
that as a result of Miss Kings remark
sh!e performance he lost his job w'Jh
MIR. B.lmer worth $500 month";; tha'
he sustained great financial loss IL
dragging the shore from GrSvesu''d
BAY 10 Canarsie with six assistants; ;Aa
he suffered great anguish of mino i,
thinking that fair young woman hnH
gone 10 her death through some lack OF
vigilance on his part, and that his high
reputation aS u 4llO-SoFSA, "NNA'
through Is years OF hard work, was
materially damaged.
Lawyer Shorter in repeating the
story of the disappearance, tells how
Miss King, with the aid and collusio'
of her maid, Alma Lindstrom, appeared
at Coney Island" and how she dissP,
pesred, leaving behind her "poetical
extract of sentimental nature, incl-
eating an unhappy and discontentef
state of mind"
Ee then tells of Captain Riley's All
euish of MUD up to September 23fd,
when Miss King'wss found; OF the way
in which he spent money and time In
searching for the body; of how The
owners Of BaImer's pavilion discharged
him iucontineutly for losing q lady
customer" in fine weather, and how
his worldwide reputation as a beach
master and life-saver was smirched.
Mrs. Chamberlain can live at the
Waldorf and the Wind or and the Re-
Nuisance now and eat table d'hotes,
but me, the man that was ruined by
her silly trick, can 1--we in bathhouse

TO GIVE UP UNIFORMS AND DRUMS
Burlington Booths Volunteers About to
Adopt Radical Changes.
New York SUM-

The Volunteers of America, of which
Ballington Booth is the head, contemplate
some radical changes in the organization.
meeting of the field officers was held
lasting from last Tuesday until yester'
day, at which there were present thirteen
executive members, representing as many
states. The council was called for pre-
liminary discussion of the proposed
changes in order that they might be
finally passed upon by the grand field
council, to be held the first week in Octo-
ber.e
The striking change contemplated is the
abolition of the uniform. The Volunteers
find themselves confused with the Saliva
ton Army in the popular mind, and they
have come to feel that they should not
have uniforms that in any way lead the
public to think they are doing work SINH
lar to that of the Salvation Army. Vol
unteers, they say, are unique and are
filing place in the religious world quite
their own. and they want the public mind
to assign them to that and not to another
place and work. The proposition is there
fore for Volunteer workers to wear no
uniform, and no distinguishing marks
save perhaps pin upon the coat lapel or
sleeve. or, in the case of a woman worker,
a simple pin at the throat. Salvation
Army officials have also complained of
late that Volunteers are initiating their
methods. The reference was particularly
to the use of musical instruments in their
parades aud at meetings. Hence the ex-
ecutiye members of the field council con-
sidered abolishing the use of all these
things.
On their present basis the Volunteers
do nothing at all like the work of the
Salvation Army. They do not attempt
slum and rescue work. for the Salvation
Army counts itself capable of handling
this work in this city. Volunteers are
inclined to leave that field to the Saliva
ton Army, and they want the public . to
know the tact. Most of the Volunteer
energy is devoted to inmates of prisons,
visiting prisoners behind bars, and help
ing to secure work for discharged sprison-
ers. This is quite large enough field.
the Volunteers say to engage all of their
resources, but they do not intend to con-
tent themselves with it. They have other
plans of work, most of them in con nec-
ton with established churches and in full
recognition of the sacraments
A prominent Volunteer official said yes-
terday that there is no antagonism be.
tween the two organizations, and that he
believed any feeling that had ever existed
has passed away.
