FLAGS ARE DIPPED
IN HONOR OF BOOTH
GREAT RESPECT is PAID DEAD
FOUNDER or SALVATION
ARMY.

London, Aug. 29.-The body of the
late General William Booth was laid
today beside that Of Catherine Booth,
his wife, in Abney Park cemetery.
Representatives of reigning houses
and Of presidents Of republics, includ-
ing the United States, joined round
the grave with many thousands from
the masses whom the founder of the
Salvation Army has tried to upnft.
The coffin was borne from the great
doorway of the Salvation Army head
quarters to the hearse which was
decorated only with dry palms,
placed over the blood and fire" ban
ner draping the casket. The celebrat
ed battle flag which the general had
planted on Calvary was placed at the
head Of the coffin and as this was
done the flags of the foreign deputa-
tions and Of the English provisional
corps dipped in salute.
Immediately after the hearse a Sc
lected bodyguard Of staff officers Of.
the Salvation Army swung into line,
preceding the mourners Of the family,
who were led by General and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth, The whole process
sion was more than mile long.
Most fittingly the procession passed
through a portion Of that section OF
the city where the work of the sal
walton Army is best known and there
in front of the house stood many poor
women and children who had at some
time or other received benefit from
the Army
AS General Booth had been an hon.
orary freeman Of the city Of London,
the lord mayor appeared on the bal
cony of the Mansion House and salut-
ed the coffin The service was sim
pie one, consisting for the most part
of singing of Salvation Army hymns.

FIRE Fighters
NARROW ESCAPE
WERE ALMOST FAMIsHED BY
BEING ISOLATED IN LARGE
FOREST

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 29.-Thir-
teen Mexican fire fighters were res
cued early today from Devils Can
yon where they had been hemmed in
since Monday morning without food
and water, by the flames that are
sweeping through the brush on t7e
san Gabriel range. All were taken
to Azusa by, the rangers ana it was
said that with good care they had a
fair chance Of recovery.
The men were impressed into the
fire fighting line last Sunday ana
sent into Devils Canyon. Nothing
more was heard from them until early
today when two men reported rnat
they were sure the others we're dead.
BY means Of rope hung over a prec-
ipice 300 feet high, a volunteer enter
ed the fire-swept canyon and found
the men in pitiful condition.
All were famished and delirious
from heat and the lack of water.
Their clothing had been singed and in
most cases was nearly torn from
their bodies by contact with scrub
oak. One by one the unfortunates
were tied to the end Of the rope and
hauled up to the top. Several times
it was necessary to resort to force
in order to get the crazed men fas
tened so they could be pulled out

WILSON MAKES DECLARATION THAT INTERESTS
ACTING AS TRUSTEES OF REPUBLICAN, ADMIN STRATIONS
HAVE BEEN dominating POLICIES Of COUNTRY

"The present democratic congress
has the oldfashioned idea Of govern
ment. It supposed that it's benefits
and projections were to be distributed
and equally shared. It introduced and
passed bill which became known
as the farmers free list bill That
bill put many Indispensable things
on the free list. Most prominent
among them were agricultural imple-
ments, because the American farmer
pays more for his agricultural i'm
plements than any other farmer in
the world. The American manufac-
turers who make agricultural imple-
ments sell them much cheaper on the
other side of the water. On the other
side they undersell the manufacturers
Of agricultural implements and prove
by their eagerness for the foreign
business and their rapid expansion OF
it that they can afford to do SO even
with the additional cost of the ocean
freights. But such changes did not
comport with the ideas and plans OF
the trustees and the president vetoed
the free list. dare say he was
right from his point Of view, for he
represented the trustees and not the
people.
"The trustees represent also the big
bankers in whose hands our banking
system lies to be manipulated, and no
republican administration, no repub-
lican congress. has attempted to serve
the farmer as he ought to be served
in the matter Of credits. 1t is practi-
cally impossible for the farmer to
borrow money on the kind Of securi-
ties ordinarily demanded at the
banks. It does not serve his purpose
to borrow it for the short periods
insisted upon by most bankers. He
needs rather long credits and he
needs the money on his own kind Of
security. He can't be mortgaging his
farm every time he needs little
money. The present democratic con
gress has done nothing better than to
provide for careful investigation Of
this subject with a view to early ac-
tion SO that the law may be fitted to
the creation of these new instruments
OF business which the farmer SO much
needs and ought to have"

Williams Grove, Pa, Aug. 29.-Col-
onel Roosevelt's analogy that the ben
efits Of the protective tariff system
constituted prize money Of which
too much was kept by the officers
and too little distributed to the crew,
was criticized by Governor Wilson
here today. He wanted to know in
his speech before the state granger's
picnic just where the prize money
came from He said the "plunder
came from the farmers, who were
taxed too highly by the tariff on ag-
ricultural implements. The governor
confined himself to the tariff and how
it affected the farmers and drew at
tention to President RATS veto Of the
farmers free list bill.
Il dare say he was right from his
point Of view" said Governor Wilson,
Of President Taft in this connection,
'for he represented the trustees and
not the people. The governor ar
gud that the government ol the coun-
try had been in control of "self-con-
stituted trustees in the republican
party and that it was time for me
people to obtain control Of their own
government
Governor Wilson, In a speech at q
farmers rally here today talked Of
the farmers share Of prosperity with
existing tariff laws. He said in part:
1T is strange that we should have
put off SO long looking into our gov
eminent to sec whether it is in fact
run according to the rules we origin
ally laid down for it, but it is certain
that we are now looking into It very
sharply indeed and without the least
danger that We shall be deceived
again as to its character. Our idea
Of it has been from the first that it
was a genuine partnership and that
all were upon one footing and were
to share alike.
But very interesting thing has
come to light. That is not, in fact,
the way the government has been ad-
ministered in our time. It has been
in the hands Of self-constituted trus-
tees and the partners have seIucm
been allowed a real governing voice

posed that we were conducting the

JUDGES
NOT WELL PAID
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
SAYS SALARIES ARE
TOO Low.

+ Milwaukee, Wis. Augg. 29-Judges
were declared to be "scandalously I'M
derpaid" and the delays in. settling
law suits in this country were attrib-
uted to cumbersome methods OF pro-
.cedure rather than to judges by var
ious speakers before the American
Bar association today.
Most Of the criticism which has
started the movement for the recall
Of judges results from dissatisfaction
in the slow ways in which cases get
through the courts said Charles
Blood Smith of Kansas. This tardi-
ness is due to modes Of procedure and
not to the judges.

national business along the lines laid
down by Jefferson, but we find that
as matter Of fact we have been con-
Quoting it along the lineL laid down
by Hamilton. Hamilton believed that
the common run of men had little
qualification for such business: that
government could be really compre-.
hended and wisely directed only by
those who led in commercial and in
dustrial enterprises and owned the
chief bodies Of property in the coun-
try. And in our time the leaders of
the republican party have, consciously
or unconsciously, adopted his notion.
These men financed party cam
paigns and were always on the inside
when party policy was to be deter
mined. They were the trustees. What
went on in the trustee meetings we
were very seldom allowed to learn
learned indeed only by impertinent in
quiry, only by congressional investi-
cations or trials in court which the
trustees complained sadly interfered
with the regular course of business.
"Mr. Roosevelt has proclaimed him
self convert to the protective policy
n say convert because he at one
time very frankly avovsd different
opinion and has said that while he
admitted that no doubt, some duties
were too high and ought to be low
er, on the whole the policy pursued
by republican administrations had
been the right one; and he thought
the prize money which had been re-
ceived under that system by the man
ufacturers Of the country was legiti-
mate booty.
'The anology is very interesting
one. Prize money is generally ac-
qdired BY capture and not by any pro-
cess Of earning, but Mr. Roosevelt is
always frank and says that his only
objection to the system is that toe
much Of the prize money remains in
the hands Of the officers and too lit
tile OF it is distributed to the crew
His own object, he avows, will be to
see to it that more Of the prize mon
ey gets into the pay envelopes Of
those whom the freebooters employ
The interesting point wish to raise
now is who supplies the plunder, from
whom is the prize money taken?

Columbus. O., Aug 29-President

The president has the power and It is
his duty If he does not approve legis-

veto when his conscience tells him,
