EVA BOOTH DENIES
GRAFT IN THE "ARMY"

NEW YORK, May 12.-Miss Evange-
line Booth. commander of the Salvation
Army, denied the charges that army
statistics are unreliable. This charge
was made by Mr.. Solenberger, a St.
Louis charity board man, in a meeting
Of the National Conference OF Charities
in Philadelphia.
Mr. Solenberger read from two or
three pamphlets issued by the Salvation
Army in different parts of the country
and at various times. On the face of il.
these figures do not seem to harmonic.
The statistics cover various depart
ments, but Ii does not follow that the
different statements are inaccurate.
Nothing could be further from the
truth" said Miss Booth. than Mr.. Sol
enberser's assertion that the so-called
charitable work of the Salvation Army
is largely subservient to financial IN
Terests, and that the lodging houses or
any other department Of Salvation Army
charities are maintained for a profit.
While the laudable object OF the army
is to make it's institutions self-support-
ing. many Of them are necessarily main
1ained at a considerable financial loss. -
