though he was able to remain here on
ly by forming a rival to the Salvation
Army which he called the American
Volunteers, an organization that
started out with bright prospects, and
which has achieved a measure of solid
success.
Whether Gen. Booths order trans
ferring Booth-Tucker to England is
due to jealousy of his son-in-law, or
whether the latter has been less eff
cient than formerly since the tragic
death of his wife, does not yet seem
clear, but there is no doubt that Booth
Tucker doesn't like the transfer, no
matter how pliantly he bows to the
decree.
II should be added that the partisans
of the general say that the transfers
of commanders are not really the re-
suit of jealousy of them, but that he
believes the unity Of the army can be
maintained only by such trhansfers.
He fears that lifelong dominance in
one part of the world would localize
the mental attitude. so to speak. of
the commanders, whereas he wishes
them all to possess the mental breadth
which he believes is essential to the
armys permanence, and can be created
and maintained only by periodical
change. Gen. Booth, though vigorous
is a very old man, and the question of
his successor will be a very important
one to the army when he dies.

Booth uckef's Egotism
His Sensational
Transfer to This Country.

New York. Aug. 20.-The announce
ment that Booth-Tucker has been re-
called to England and that another
member Of the Booth family is to take
charge of Salvation Army work in the
United states is not at all surprising
to those who know old Gen. Booth per-
sonally, or who have watched the
course of the army for the last few
years.
Some who know the general are con-
WINGED that his egotism is so vast that
he is jealous even of the division COM
manders Of his great and really benef-
cent religious organization. all of
whom are his children or children-in-
law. Those who have watched the
course of the army can readily believe
this. for whenever division command
er has secured a thorough grip on the
quarter of the globe he has been desig-
mated to dominate as a salvationist
there has been a transfer.
The most sensational of all these
transfers was that of Booth-Tucker

Joe Johnson. who opened the Sub

one of New Yorks characters. He
was formerly a reporter, and good
one. He quit newspaper work to en-

the new field he was a great success.
Mayor Low thought so much of him
that he gave the ex-reporter a $1,000
berth. He was one of the conspicuous
figures in the last municipal campaign.
He organized the Acorn Club and did
great service for Low, but it proved
ineffective. He was fired when McClel-

NEGRO ASSAULTS
A WHITE WOMAN
Wife OF N. Hydrick Outraged
Near Boyles
DEPUTIES ARREST NEGRO
Will Mackey, Now In jail, Believed to
Be the Right Manic Be Taken
Before Mrs. Hydrck
for Identification.
DEPUTIES ARREST NEGRO

Mrs. F. M. Hydrick, the wife of
watchman employed near the powder
mills at Boyles gap was criminally as
saulted yesterday morning by negro.
Yesterday afternoon a negro giving his
name as VIII Mackey was arrested in
Buzzard Roost by deputies George w.
Courson and John C. Burgin charged
with committing the crime. He was taken
to the office of the sheriff where he was
closely examined by Chief Deputy Strad-
ford.
The negro denied his guilt, but told
several conflicting stories. He was car
ried to the county jail and locked up.
Mrs. Hy1rick will be requested to come
to Birmingham this morning to identify
the negro. II she is not physically able
to make the trip. the negro will be car
ried to Boyles gap by a strong guard of
deputies sometime today to be identified.
The negro answers the description given
as to the assaulter of Mrs Hydrick and
the officers believed that they have the
right man. Immediately after being car
ried to the county Jail he was stripped
of his clothing to prevent him from tear
ing it up, in order that he might not be
identified by his victim.
The assault occurred about $50 o'clock
yesterday morning. The sheriffs office
was Immediately notified, and a strong
posse was sent out to capture the negro
If possible In the meantime the news
of the assault had spread throughout that
section of the county rapidly, and cit
liens generally armed themselves and
went In pursuit of the negro. About neon
two negroes were arrested by the iepu-
ties, but they were later released. A
pack of hounds was secured from Hugh
Howell and the trail was taken up I'M
mediately. The dogs tracked the negro
IS far as the terminus of the North Biz
mlngham car line. 1t Is supposed he
boarded a car there and came to the
city.
Governor Cunningham heard of the as
sault In Montgomery and Immediately
communicated with the sheriffs office,
telling the officials here to use every pre-
caution to protect the negro against mob
violence should he be captured. He sug-
gested that the local militia be called out
IL necessary.
The feeling against the negro at Boyles
and that vicinity is said to be very
strong.
