PLENTY OF
TROUBLE

CHICAGO. March 2T.-''You trail
tor 10 the Salvation ARMY In this
the way you keep the promise made
TO your dying mother7"
Gen. BallIngton Booth was greet
ed thus as he rode down West Mad
ison street last night In the Voidn-
teers Of America parade. The man
who accused him was a member of
the Salvation Army and an officer.
A moment later some one shouted:
''Hurrah for Moore's army" Then
there were Misses from all sides. and
a picture OF Mrs. Booth. mother of
naiilnEton Booth. flashed across
magic lantern screen against n
house directly opposite the Salvation
Army headquarters. 5is West Madi-
son street. ON the screen also was
Mrs. Booths dying message. com
handing that her children and
friends sustain the work of the
army.
Gen. darlington Booth was over
come by the insults and sudden APP
paaranee OF his mothers picture.
The reference to ''Moore's army"
was considered particularly insult
Ing an Moore was the man who some
years ago started a branch army.
and Il is charged stole the money.
The Volunteers proceeded without
replying TO Gen. Booths accusers.
and went at once to Wavcriy hall.

Fielding there made this statement

Of that organization;
This insult TO Gen. Booth. this
harassing of his spirits by the vivid
recalling Of his mothers death. Is
just another effort on the part OF
the Salvation Army TO inture cur
work. We have stood a great deal
and we will not make any trouble
out OF this. But IL IL very trying"
He then repeated to the audience
the story Of the march and the In
suits which had been henped upon
the Volunteers. He said that never
before had he made public men
ton Of the feeling existing between
the two organizations. but that ever
since Balitngtnn Booth withdrew
from the Salvation Army and start
ed the Volunteers Of America tcal-
ousy on the part Of the army had
been growing.
Col. q. French. of the salvation
Army was seen at the army head
quarters and had this TO say on the
subject:
THAT picture OF Mrs. Booth was
no, shown because Gen. Booth was
passing. II was just one Of many
pictures shown in a stereoptieon ex-
hibition given In celebration OF our
self denial week II was mere

derssood our purpose In throwing II
on the screen. with regard TO the
remarks our men are said TO have
made. / have only this TO say; ! do
not beIlev. they said them"
Gen. Booth sufficiently recovered
his composure to deliver an address
on the work Of the Volunteers and
the need Of Christianity as against
popular philanthropy.

putty Collector Andrews ordered that
