after cable message announcing
the appointment has been received
from London.
London. Aug. 21.-obsequies Of Gen
eral Booth, Commander of the Saliva
ton Army, who died last night, prob
ably will extend over a week and the
funeral will take place probably on
August 2s or 80. The lying In state
.is to be at the Salvation Army con-
gress hall, Clapton, the largest build
ing owned by the Salvation Army. On
the day Of the funeral 10000 salvation
lists will participate in massed sery-
ice in larger hall. The Crystal pal
ace may be used.
General Booths successor as COM
mander-in-ch of the Salvation Army
probably will be announced In day
or two, with much ceremony accord
ing to the late generals expressed
wishes. While he disliked personal
publicity, he welcomed anything. which
kept the army in the public eye.
A melodramtic notice posted on the
front of the Salvation Army head
quarters says:
"The general has laid down his
sword. God is with u.s."
Estranged Son Talks.
Patchogue, L. l., Aug. 21.-An i'm.
mediate member of the family of Gen.
eral Ballington Booth, head of the
Volunteers Of America, authorized the
following statement today regarding
the death Of General William Booth,
the commander-in-chief of the Saliva
tion Army in London:
General Ballington Booth deplores
any reference at this sad time to the
estrangement between himself and
father, which arose purely on matters
of government and principle seventeen
years ago. He prefers to be silent
regarding the Salvation Army's treat
ment and statements save to say that
he has always treated his father with
Difference and duty due great man.
His eldest sister and second brother
are also out of the movement, and he
has no knowledge of any effort having
uSSA lud0S uul 1uS IA0oS ldSt udyS VI a.
any time towards reconciliation.
This is no personal quarrel but a
matter of difference in work. He
would have gone to his sister Eva, but
when he and his brother attempted to
offer their sympathy at the time of
Mrs. Booth fuckers death, they we're
met with rebuff. He has sought to
avoid this public appearance of dis
agreement. His sympathy has been
written with affectionate solicitude to
his brother, Bramwell Booth, in Eng
land
