England and the Way Out" outlining
his scheme Of social reform.
In 1856 he placed his second son. Balling-
ton Booth, in charge of the forces In
America. Discussions arose between
father and son, and in 1896 Ballington
Booth was recalled and his brOther-n- law,
Commander Booth-Tucker. was sent here.
This trouble with his son was the great
sorrow of his life. His wife was his
active co-worker till her death. His other
children are active in the army. His
eldest son. Bramwell Booth, is known as
the chief of staff. His daughter Eveine,
is proba bly, the best known OF his chill
dren here.
General Booth outlived the bitterness Of
early criticism. Such fellow evangelists
as Sturgeon had declared that he had
brought religion into contempt. and Hux-
ley called his Gospel "corybantic Chris
tianity" He defended his own methods
in these words:
Thousands around Us are being alb
sOrbed and carried away by the excite
ments OF business. ambition and pleasure.

ment such as this is that we find IL pos

NO ASTOR WILL CONTEST
Widow Is Content with It's Pro.
visions, Gildersleeve Says.

Former Justice Henry A. Gildersleeve,
counsel for Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor,
widow Of Colonel John jacob lsstor. said
Yesterday that Mrs Aston had no intention
Of contesting the will OF her husband In
her own behalf or in behalf Of the post
humOus child born about "A week ago.
In this statement. which sets AT rest the
reports that have been published from
time TO time saying that such a contest
was contemplated. Mr.. Gildersieeve said {:
Mrs Astor has always expressed entire
satisfaction with the provisions made for
her by her late husband. both in the ante
agreements which were entered into and
also by the various articles of his will
"She has not now. nor has she ever had,
any desire or intention 10 dispute the
validity Of the agreements or attack any
Of the articles OF the will.
AS FOR setting aside the will any
lawyer of the slightest experience would
not advise that IL could be possibly done
Colonel Astor was OF sufficient age and
of sound mind when he executed his last
will and testament All of the provisions
are valid and strictly conform to the
laws OF this state.
"In reference to the article Of the will
providing for posthumous children. il
must he said that while the fund OF
100000 seems to be rather small in view
Of the large estate Colonel Aston left
and as compared with the sum. William
Vincent Aston will receive. It IL. never
theless. a large fortune and ample for
the heirs maintenance and education"
Judge Gildersleeve added that if the
trust estate set aside for the new heir
is judiciously selected from the Astor
property. it will quadruple by the time
the child IL twenty-one years old, and
that the unexpended income and interest
will amount to 100000 or 100000. which
the son OF Mrs. Force Astor will receive
when he reaches his ajority.

Compared with Martin Luther,
John Wesley and the Pope.

London. Aug. H.-The London morning
newspapers pay eloquent tributes Of SYM

They regard him as the greatest apostle
and evangelist OF the age and compare
him with John Wesley and Martin
Luther. The Times, in an editorial,
says:
THE death Of Booth closes a strange
career, one OF the most remarkable our
age has seen. and II will set the world
meditating on that fervent and forceful
character. that keen. though as some

TRAVELLERS WIN
In Decision Of Commerce Commission
Suspendlns Order Of the
Railroads

WASHINGTON. June s.-The trav-
cling public won a victory before the
interstate commerce commission to-
day when a temporary suspension OF
the order requiring more rigid rules
relative to the transportation OF bag
gage was suspended for 120 days from
July l. next, In order that the COM
mission may conduct a comprehensive
investigation into the transportation OF
baggage in an effort TO determine
whether the original should be re-
scinded or not.
The two orders at issue are as fol
lows: ION and after July l. 1912. for
any piece of baggage (except immt
grant baggage checked at port or
ianding) the greate@, dir7sns. n
which exceeds 40 inches. "a,
be an additional charge for
ditional mich equal TO the charge fol
ten pounds OF excess weight"
Secondly: "On and after July /
1912. no piece OF baggage the greatest
dimension OF which exceeds seventy
inches excepting immigrant baggage
checked at port OF landing) will be
transported in baggage cars"
The temporary restraining order OF
the commission relative TO these two
orders is the result of persistent pro
tests against their institutions by the
United Commercial Travellers and
other organizations among the
knights Of the grip, as well as indi
vidual complaints registered with the
commission by hundreds OF travelling
men.
