New York, Aug 21.--Eya Booth the
commander Of the Salvation Army in
the United States, has not yet been
officially notified of the death in Lon
don last night OF her father. General
William Booth. When she receives of
flclaI word. she will open sealed
packet which is held at headquarters
of the army here, and duplicate Of
which is held in London, designating
the successor Of General Booth as head
OF the Salvation Army.
Commander Eva Booth, who for
many years has been General Booths
chief Of staff, is regarded by many as
his most likely successor. Several
years ago, during visit to the United
States, when asked II Eva Booth would
succeed him in event Of his death,
General Booth fbld:
"Why not? She commanded the
army In Canada and II grew TO won
derful proportions She followed where
Booth-Tucker had all but failed, tax
ing command In the United States
when the army was rent in twain and
in less than two years welded It into
a loyal organization and increased It's
property holdings more than $4,000
0OO Why wouldn't Eva Booth make
a worthy successor to her father? Ja-
cob loved Benjamin over the other
children, as he was the youngest and
brought him no shame or sorrow"
AS far as known General Booth
never became reconclled to his SON.
Balllngton Booth, who, following a
quarrel with the general in 1906, or
ganlzed the Volunteers of America.

With j. f. Calbreath of Portland
refusing today to accept the superln-

lum, the state board ls at loss whom
to secure for the position, and It is
probably the first time In the history
Of the state where Job with such a
good salary attached to II has gone
begging for a good man to fill II.
When the board appointed Hall and
he accepted, the members were much
pleased, because they felt that the
trouble of securing the right man for
the place had been overcome. With
his resignation, and his letter attack
ing the site and institution, however,
they became confronted with a serious
situation.
The position was rendered to DR..
Calbreath, who was formerly superln-
tendent of the asylum here, and now
after considering the subject for sew
eral days, he declines, saying that he
could not arrange his business affairs
at Portland so that he could take it
without making a great financial sac
rifice.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The war de-
partment, fearing that clash in Mic
aragua is inevitable, prepared today
to send additional United States troops
to the disturbed Central American ro-
publec.
The tenth regiment of infantry, now
in Panama, was ordered to hold itself
in readineses for embarkment on short
notice. The United States cruiser, Den
yer, which is due in Corinto next Sun
day, carries 300 marines. 1t is expect
ed the marines will be ordered to pro-
coed overland to Managua, where the
situation is regarded as extremely
critical, to re-enforce the American
force already landed there.
Dispatches received at the state de-
partment say that General Mena, the
insurgent leader has evaded United
States Minister Weltzels demand that
the rebel general withdraw the threat
to burn and loot Managua. Weitzel
has notified Mena that the United
States will not permit any further at
tacks upon the city.

For the purpose OF determining to
his own satisfaction just how much a
soldier can carry and how much hard
ship he can undergo without becoming
exhausted, Governor West will in the
near future take a march himself and
will cover an area of ground equal to
that covered by the men of the sec
ond battalion OF the Third Infantry,
National Guards, during their maneu-
vers of the last day.
The governor declared himself
along this line last night at the hear
ing, but 1t was not until this morning
that he would say definitely whether
he would make the march. The march
will be made before he renders de-
cision in the present hearing, but
neither 1t will be over the same
ground or not he has not decided
upon. He will carry 43-pound equip
ment.
The hearing yesterday afternoon
and last night was along practically
the same lines as yesterday forenoon.
All Of the staff officers declared that
the order to march back to Oakvllle
had been given, and that 1t was not
too severe for the men. All of them
also declared that Maus was not in
toxicated.
Captain Walter Tooze, one Of the
accused officers, claimed the return
march was too much for them. Wheth-
er Maus was intoxicated or not he
could not say.
Lieutenant Deich and Major Scott
corroborated him along this line and
gave 1t as their opinion that Maus on
the day in question, was either drunk
or crazy. Major Scott declared he had
conyersed with the general twice dur
ing the day and he was emphatic in
bis declaration that he was either
drunk or insane.
Upon the conclusion Of the hearing
some of the officers requested that
they be allowed to file additional
statements, and the governor granted
the request
