rival Of his father. Gen. William Booth.
slgnified that there was an effort on foot
to amalgamate the Volunteers with the

statement in which he said in substance
that he had no reason TO believe that the
attitude of the Booth family toward him
aad changed from the time when. for con-
scienuous reasons. he. severed rela-
tions from the Salvation Army and took
the stand he did eleven years ago
At that time he and his associates were
informed that unless they came back to
the Salvation Army in submission to its
dictates. they should be looked upon as
strangers and renegades. There was no
likelihood of the Volunteers of America
amalgamating with the Salvation Army.

TAFT'S PLANS CHANGED.
Cannot Address Oklahoma Convention,
as He Intended.

Secretary Taft today said that he had
telegraphed to the republican leaders in
Oklahoma that he will not be able to visit
that territory until some time in the month
of August, and he expects to spend the
coming month of July on his vacation at
Murray bay, on the st. Lawrence river
The Secretary regrets very much that he
will not be able to get to Oklahoma to
make his speech before the republican state
convention. which, 1t is understood, is to be
held early during the coming month. Mr..
Taft wants to leave Washington on his va
cation next Wednesday.
The developments in Oklahoma following
the vacation by the Supreme Court of
Judge Pancoasts injunction restraining
the officials of the constitutional conven-
ton from calling an election, with the
consequent change in the program of the
republican managers in the state, have
caused Secretary Taft to change his plans.
He had agreed to go into Oklahoma to make
speech before the republican state conven-
ton which was to nominate state officers to
be voted for at the election which it was
presumed was to be held at some indefinite
date late in the year. That was on the
assumption that the republican convention
would be held about the middle of August,
SO that the Secretary would be free to
spend the time from July to August at
his summer place in Murray bay.
