GENERAL SAYS A. S. A. HAS
CHARGE. aaA

General Ballington Booth head Of the
volunteers of America, took occasion to-
day to deny in the course of a brief state
ment to the EVENING STAR that his
organization had anything to do with an
industrial establishment in an alley rum
ming from Camp TO Pennington streets

Sunday several weeks ago and the inmates
arrested for drinking and being disor-
DERBY. The place, he said. was in charge
of the American Salvation Army, which
has recently been driven out Of Brooklyn.
and some of its officers, including its head,
General j. w. Duffin, arrested.
a delegation, the leader of whom said
he represented Captain Frederick Won Diez-
elski in charge of the Camp Alley estah-
and were identified with the
volunteers Of America, called at the
EVENING STAR Office today. They said
that Captain Won Diezelski was TOO busy
to come in person. The delegation admit
ted that the Volunteers had charge of the
place when the raid was made.
They only came into charge of the place
the Saturday before the Sunday the raid
was made" said a member of the dele
cation. The manager of the place in
stalled by the Volunteers of America went
away on that Sunday and the men got to
drinking in his absence. Some one tele-
phoned to the police and the place was
raided.''
Neighbors in the vicinity of the place In
Camp alley are said to be complaining
about conditions there. but only one
woman was found by a reporter who con-
demned the establishment. She said the
place was unsanitary, that criminals were
staying there, and that police officers had
visited the place looking for a man thew
wanted. The PLACE was fun of vermin
and filth, she said, and drunkenness was
a common thing there. men staggering
through the alley mt night in an intoxf-
Gated condition.
Walter Weber, who is in direct charge
of the establishment in Camp alley, took
a reporter through the place. The in-
terior of the buildings, which were fors

but clean as far as could be seen. The
floors have no carpet but the bedding is
clean. Fifteen men are being qunrtered
there at present and work gafhermg and
baling paper to be sold. They are paid a
miximum salary of IS a week and are
boarded and allowed n cot to sleep on.
Weber admitted that drunken men came
into the alley, but denied they were con-
nected with the place. 1t was a public
thoroughfare, and they had as much right
there as anywhere else, he said.

dignity which is supposed to attach itself
to the new name is counterbalanced by
the greater length over the shorter
