MRS. .SMALLEY
MADE
AGAINST HER
Newark Girl Alleges She
Was Made White
Slave.

In addition to attacks from the
outside, the American Salvation
Army is now torn with internal dis
sensions. in which the principal
actor is Mrs. Marian Smalley. staff
captain of the branch of the orgeni-
zation in this city.
Mrs. Smalley. who returned TO
Washington this morning from
Philadelphia, where a council of the
officers of the organization was
held, said today that, as a result of
the council, the former head of the
branch of the army here, Mrs.
James, had been expelled from the
organization, largely on the evi-
dence presented by Mrs. Smalley.
Five Days to Answer Charges.
Mrs. SmaIley, after reiterating her
objections 10 what she terms is the war
being made on her and her army
by the Washington branch Of
the senior Salvation Army. eX-
planned t..at the exact charges against
Mrs. James could not be made public
IN fuI at present, as a discharged mem
Der has five days in which 10 answer
the charges on which the expulsion
Is based. She said. however:
'"The council did not approve Of the
freedom allowed the girls Mrs. James
made the girls work TOO hard. That
she did not insist on a regulation dark
attire. but allowed the girls to canvass
saloons IN evening dress, and was TOO
ant to overlook indiscreet conduct, are
some Of the charges against the former
head laid before the council by myself.

'.The two men have always hated each
ether, for they were both IN the army
for gain, and each was afraid the other
would take some business away from
him"

Mrs. Smalley's reference to Won Diezel-
ski was drawn forth by the following
dispatch from Newark, N. j.;

Information Due Citizens.

&AAOAAdAlOn Ouc N4l4StHSs
The Commissioners believe that full
information about the affairs of the
company Is due the citizens OF the Dis
trict. and that the Commissioners
should have the facts IN arriving at an
intelligent recommendation 10 Congress
as TO the proper price OF gas to be es-
tablished.
The Commissioners. through Mr.
Thomas. are doing all in their power ito
have the peoples side OF the present
case properly represented. At It's be-
ginning they stated that they would rec
ommend TO Congress that the price OF
gas in the District should be reduced If
reduction were shown TO be not TO de-
prive the companies of fair profits, but
are somewhat discouraged over the
view of the case taken by the court
IN holding that its function was limited
simply 10 a determination Of the pres
ent actual cash value of the plant.
Move to Dismiss Petition.
Just before adjournment yesterday,
after the testimony of Robert l.. Middle
ton, secretary Of the company. in cor
roboration of that Of w. w. Randolph.
Mr.. Thomas moved TO dismiss the peti-
ton IN its present terms on the ground
that no authority has been shown eman-
ating from the board of directors and
the stockholders which authorizes the
Increase OF capital stock 10 the COM
psny- He also contended that in all
matters Of the petition in reference TO
the cost OF extension of the plant. there
was no evidence in the case that there
is any extension of the plant contem-
plated, and no evidence Of the cost OF
any extension as contemplated.
The language of the act under which
the petition is brought, clearly states
that In increasing the capital stock the
actual cash value OF the plant and of
future extensions Is to be considered as
the basis Of such increases.
Want Cash Value.
r. Ross Perry. of counsel for the
company, replied to this motion that
so far as extensions are concerned
there is not any point about them here
at all. we are asking for a determina-
tiOn Of the actual cash value of the
plant as IL exists today, and thai is
all We ask for. So far as the authority
IS concerned, IL does not seem to me that
there is any necessity for showing that
Here is a corpoatiOn that appears in
court by duly authorized attorneys and

in the office OF the secretary gained Gre
dence. and it was reported tha. because
OF Mr.. Farmers absence from the city
to attend to private business IN James

up. and Shat this state Of affairs was
discovered by Mr.. Oyster
The latter today denied that any such
condition had prevailed. and said that
the Snairs of the Office were IN excel

had been for q long time. He could give
no reason for Mr.. Farmers resignation
other than that perhaps, other and
better business opportunities had pre-

Cigarette smoking and dime-novel
reading contributed, it is believed, in no
small part to the conditions which
caused fifteen year-old Frederick Collin
der TO hang himself in New York Wed
nesday night, His body was found in
a small rear room of the store OF Henry
Wellbrook, a grocer, at l57 Stuyveshnl
avenue, by whom he was employed "a
errsDd boy. The boy had been quite
respondent OF late, and the continued
illness of his mother had caused him
some worry. He had also been quite
upset by the arrest of two of his com.
psnious week ago. The boys mind
was in such state from the almost incess-
ant smoking OF cigarettes, it is believed,
that be was not altogether responsible
for HE act, although there never had
been the least suspicion that he was snf-
ferIng from any mental trouble.
