BRAMWELL BOOTH
 SALVATION ARMY
 HEAD IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 31.-William Bram- well Booth, who succeeded his late fa- ther as head of the Salvation Army, arrived in New York on the steam ship Lusitania today on his first visit to America. He will go almost direct to Winnipeg and Toronto and will re- turn to the United States, stopping first at Chicago. The General was a trip and remained in his stateroom. He is 57 years old.
 For years he was his fathers chief lieutenant.
 General Booth was visibIy annoyed when reporters asked him if he ex- pected to visit his brother, Ba1lington Booth, head of the Volunteers of AmericA, from whom he has long been estranged.
 'T saw my brother when he was last in England,' he said, land I expect to see him here soon As to an alliance between the armies I cannot say. don't know how my brother would take to such a suggestion. If my brother would seek an alliance would gladly entertain it but have not yet given the matter any thought"
 General Booth added that he felt that western Christianity was not do- ing all it could for the peoples of the Orient There was much. he thought. that the Salvation Army could do in China, Japan and Australia and he ex- pected to make tour of those coun- tries next year to study conditions with a, view to extending the army's work

Hollis For Thomas Despite Stories
 To The Contrary

Washington, Oct. 31.-senator H. F. Hollis, of New Hampshire, denied this morning that he was opposed to the confirmation of the appointment of Edwin s. Thomas, secretary to Gov. Baldwin, as Federal District Judge, and also stated that he never had op posed the appointment, and in fact would vote in favor of MT. Thomas. Senator Hollis is the member of the Judiciary Committee upon whom press reports have pinned the sponsorship for the opposition to MT. Thomas.
 This was probably because the sen ator was away from Washington and could not be interviewed upon the mat ter. As soon as he returned last night he was surprised to hear the story that he was the prime figure in opposin g MT. Thomas and he lost no time in branding the story as a canard.

Rush Work Through { Final Obstruction On
 The Panama Canal

Washington, Oct 31.@The task of opening a way through Cucaracha slide, the sole remaining obstacle to navigation through the Panama Canal, has been carried on as rush work since the blowing up of the Gam5oa Dyke. according to advices received today from the isthmus. The engineers have been putting forth hercu1ean ef- forts to clear the half mile obstruc- tion, but the work is often undone over night by slunping back of the ma terial removed. A ton and a half of dynamite was exploded Oct 10 without any substantial increase in the flow of water across the dam. Since then three shifts of men, working eight hours each continuously, have been trying to create a. channel.

PRESIDENT TALKS
 ON MEXICAN PLAN
 WITH HIS COUNSEL

Washington, Oct. 31.-President Will son and counsel, John Bassett Moore, of the state department, discussed the Mexican situation today at length. As most of the members of the cabinet were away, there was no session of the Presidents official family. Since the President will go to Princeton, N. J., to vote, next Tuesday, there will be no cabinet meeting then and except for informal consideration in the interval, it is not likely that any plan of action will be discussed at a cabinet meeting until late next week.
 MT Moore did not discuss his talk with the President. The President had no other engagem ments today, planning n devote himself f~~ the most part to

FRUIT LAXATIVE FOR MAMMA, DAD,
 BABY, "CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FICS''

foul taste, bad breath, fever and dig ziness is gone; your stomach is sweet, liver and bowels clean, and you feel grand.
 "California Syrup of Figs is fam fly laxative. Everyone from grandpa to baby can safely take it and no one is ever disappointed in its pleasant action. Millions of mothers know that it is the ideal laxative to give cross, sick, feVerish children. But get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50 cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups on each bottle. Refuse with contempt the cheaper Fig SYrups and commercials. See that 1t bears the name-''Ca1ifornia Fig Syrup Company. ''.-AdV.

Better than caIomel, oil or salts for liver, bowels and
 stomach.

Mother, daddy and the children can always keep feeling fine by taking this delicious fruit laxative as occa- sion demands. Nothing else cleanses the stomach, liver and bowels so thoroughly without gripping.
 You take little at night and in the morning all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and fermenting food, delayed in the bowels gently moves out of the system. When you awaken all headache, indigestion, sourness,

wARRENITE PAVE
MEiNT SLIPPERY

To the Editors of the Stamford Advo-
 cate:
 The slippery Warrenite pavement near Laddin's Rock Farm, on the post road, is still doing business It adver- tised itself in two instances last Fri day. While passing down the hill, go- ing west, and near the gate entrance to the farm, I observed an auto am- bulance resting against the south bank of the road, in crippled condition, hay ing skidded. A little farther to the west, a boy, not more than IA years of age, stood mourning by the side of a fallen horse, which had slipped near the side of the trolley track, and was drawn across the track and unable to rise The boy driver said he belonged at Dumb1ing Ped. Aided by the as- sistance of several men then passing, we managed to help the animal to it's feet. The back of the horse was mo- ticeably skinned. These instances only add to the numerous occurrences of the kind frequently taking place at this part of the Post road, and no doubt others will follow, until more seri- ous event shall happen to awaken tn e authorities to the sense of doing some thing to remedy the situation. Hasn' | this part of the Post road been event. full enough to shake confidence in a Warrenite pavement on hills and high grades? And, too, more than duly crowned? I'm a lover of rugged na- ture, as seen in it's lights and shades, it's heights and depths, and every phase of wi1dness as it comes from the hand of the Creator; but when man, by his handiwork of art, produces a thing so artful1y slippery as to seri- ously hazard ones life in the attempt to perigrinate by foot or horseback, 1t becomes time to employ some boosting agency to pitch him outside of civiIiza- tion altogether.
