GENERAL BOOTH
DIES IN LONDON
Founder Of the Salvation Army Sue

SON BRAMWELL MAY SUCCEED
The Aged Evangelist Has Steadily
Failed Since An Operation On
His Eye For Removal Of
Cataract Last Spring.

London, Aug 2l.-Gen. William
Booth, commander-in-chief and found
er of the Salvation Army, died last
evening.
He had been ailing since last spring.
In May he underwent an operation
for the removal of a cataract in the
left eye. The operation was not sue
cessful and since that time the aged
evangelist has been steadily falling,
General Booth was In his eighty.
fourth year
Gen. william Booth, who developed
the greatest organized movement
since the beginning OF Christianity
for the saving of human souls, was a
son Of a Nottingham Eng carpen-
ter. He was born in that city on
April 10. 1928.
He chose preaching for a profes-
sion and studied theology under q
private tutor for the Methodist New
Connection church. In 1852 he en-
tered the ministry but was not for
mauy ordained until six years later.
In the meantime he was appointed
to do circuit work but he had re-
ceived taste of evangelism and 1t
appealed to him.
On July 5, 1865, General Booth took
the first step which led afterwards to
the founding of the Salvation Army.
From an humble beginning in Lon.
don this great organization has grown
until 1t has S.S72 corps, circles and So
cieties established In Sc countries
and colonies with about 81 1903 Off
GERS and employees. In almost every
city Of consequence there IS a branch
with barracks where beds are main
talned and food is dispensed at a
very cheap rate.
AS concrete example OF the mate.
rial benefits OF the army 6,327.349
persons are supplied with beds in a
single year while in the same length
OF time nearly 10000 900 are fed.
General Booth has made a number
OF trips to the United States and has
sent a number OF messages" to the
American people upon various occa-
sions.
Thousands of kilograms of sympa-
thy for the death OF General Booth
were received by Salvation Army
headquarters from all over the world
today and included several rulers of
nations.
1t is expected that the Generals
will will name his son Bramwell
Booth, as the new leader.
The body of General Booth will lay
in state a week in London and be
buried at Abney Park Newington.
Objections have been made TO the
plan to bury him in West Minister
Abbey because he was opposed to the
established church.

Linden Pride. both colored, discovered
the body of a white man. The colored

At the Harbor Precinct the clothing

than two pair of gold trimmed spectacles.
and an unlettered handkerchief, no clew

doubt as to their sanity or about the
sanity Of a member of the family or
some dependent would have means OF
learning what steps to take with refer
ence to treating the patient A great
burden would thus be lifted from the
shoulders of those who are troubled with
problems of this kind. and intelligent
measures might be proposed where
oftentimes, as at present. there Is doubt
and uncertainty about what to do. The
work Of the Government Hospital for
the Insane in treating insanity as a dis
ease was highly commended by the
Princeton physician. and he urged wash
ingtonias 10 familiarize themselves with
it.
Insanity, according to the lecturer. Is
purely a disease OF the whole system
and is not different specifically from
typhoid malaria, or other diseases ne

is therefore TO be based on this theory

in this respect. he said. for they nave

Just as Mrs. Allen Joined her husband,
II is alleged. he slapped her on the

ing to walk east in II Street W. l..
Borstleman, of New York, who is in
Washington on business, interfered in
behalf of Mrs. Allen. Swinging fists right
and left Allen. who is OF small stature,
waded into Borstleman.
Policeman Wilson Davis grabbed Allen
before he had harmed Borstleman. AL
len saw his wife fleeing from the scene
and resented arrest He resented SO Wig
orously that he was knocked down. The
blow seemed to sober the youth. and he
started to the police box with Davis.
En- route, Allen again grew unruly and
Policeman Benjamin Lamb took a hand.
At the box Allen reached into his pocket
and the policeman thought he was
reaching for a weapon. They picked him
up gently and laid him on the asphalt
-. r.l1a fa
most dangerous weapons were two neck
tie clasps.
At the First Precinct station Allen
grew indignant. He had no money, but
Mrs. Allen soon appeared. She told
lieut.. Harrison she did not care to pre-
fer a charge of assault against her
youthful husband

PLEBES BARELY BEAT TOME.
Young Middies Scored Touchdown in
First Half But We're Outplayed in
Closing Engag ement.

The football team Of fourth class
midshipmen won from the eleven of
Tome Institute, of Port Deposit, on
the Naval Academy grounds in fair
ly interesting game yesterday after
noon, to 0.
The teams were pretty evenly
matched, but the Plebes made the
most of their single opportunity that
came in the second period, when Craig
plunged through the line for touch
down after the ball had been carried
about twenty-five yards by rushing.
In the second half the visitors
clearly outplayed the young sailor
lads. Twice they carried the ball
two thirds the length of the field by
end running and line plunges. Once
they lost the leather on n tumble,
when the coveted goal line was only
five yads away, and on another occa-
sion they were held for downs when
the ball was only yard from the
goal line.
This play gave rise to hot dis
pute between the teams and Tome
threatened to leave the field. The
ball had been put into play not far
from the side lines. With Miller
carrying the leather, he plunged
across for what seemed to be touch
down, but the officials charged that
he went outside by few inches and
the ball went over to the Middies,
who Immediately punted out of dan
