Meeting of Brothers Short Time Ago After Estrangemen OF
Many Years Recalls Controversy of 1885, When Was De-
cided by the Authorities in London That BalNngtOn
Should Go to England.

It was realized as soon as Darlington
issued what might be termed an ulti-
matum that his loss to thu movement
would be enormous. But his father
was immovable. He said he exacted
obedience from the lowly officers and
he could not exempt those in exalted
commands, even though they be his
own sons and daughters.
He was urged to compromise or do
something to save Ballington and his
brilliant and devoted wife to the move
ment. He was told that their seces-
sion would mean the complete over
throw of the Salvation Army in the
United States. But these gloomy pre-
dictions failed to move him. He In
sisted on obedience. He may be
wrong. his judgment may be defective,
but there was no middle course. Bal
lington was soldier and he who
would command must be ready and
willing to obey.
The friends of the then commander
in the United States urged him to re-
sign and organize new move
ment which would be democratic in

The hammerlock is one of the effec-
tive holds in wrestling. When once
secured by a strong aggressor, it Is
usually "all off" with his opponent,
but the hold is by no means an easy
one to secure.
GOtch has won but few of his i'm
portant battles by means of the ham
merlock. The first was his defeat of
Scott Miller in 1902. He employed the
hammerlock in downing Emil Klank
in 1903, afterward his manager. He
also used the hold in 1904 on John
Berg. one of the strongest grapplers
of the day.
Later Gotch was touring the south
meeting all corners and offering $40 a
minute that each wrestler should re-
main on the mat with him. At Gal
weston he met Prof. Herman Berneau,
who had boosted that Gotch could net
pin him. Gotch had been on the mat
with Berneau only few minutes when
he cornered the professor and grabbed
him. He wished to win in hurry
and caught his opponent with ham
merlock. Berneau cried out that he
was being hurt and Gotch released the
hold Again the champion secured it,
and again Berneau protested. He
refused to submit when Gotch once
more secured the dangerous hold.
Berneau left the mat and had Gotch
arrested, but did not push the case.
That taught the champion lesson
he never forgot and he has seldom
used the hammerlock in any of his big
matches.
There are several varieties of the
hammerlock," says Gotch. 1.-THE hold
is usually secured when working over
an opponent on the mat. The agrees
sor reaches inside the left arm of his
opponent and grasps his hand with
his own right hand If working
on the left side. The attacker
also grasps his opponents fingers

Booth to retain his American COM
mand. But General Booth, who was
supported by his cabinet, was OBJ
durate. He said the decision was not
the result of caprice, 1t was not hastily
arrived at and that it was irrevocable
Bramwen Booth, who was then chief
Of staff. communicated the decision Of
his father to Senator Depew. In the
letter he assured Mr.. Depew of his and
his fathers appreciation Of the sym
pathy shown by Americans for the
cause, but he said no exception to an
imperative rule could be made in the
lily. They occupied the same relation
to the organization as the humblest
officer in it, Bramwell Booth said.
From past experience, Ballington
Booth knew to attempt to change de-
cision Of his fathers when it was once

equally as serious as the withdrawal
Of his son, with his vast influence,
from the Salvation Army. The rank
and file would look with extreme dis
favor on any measure that would make
any member of the Booth family the
object of privileged legislation" In
other words, worldwide discomfort and
iistrust may have followed reconsid-
GRAFTON of the generals decision.
In the Salvation Army General
Booth sustained the relation to Bal
lington of a superior to subordinate
officer. not that of a father to a son.
To have assumed any other position
would have been subversive to disci-
pline and probably destructive to the
very fabric Of the organization itself.

it's government. They said it could be
utilized as a recruiting station for the
churches. They insisted that the Unit
ed States needed such a movement
and he was well qualified to lead it.
After much anxious thought he con-
scented and brought into being "The
Volunteers of America"
For several weeks he searched for
appropriate name for this organiza-
ton. One day he shouted Eureka"
and said he would call it Gods Amer
lean Volunteers" But after some
thought he doubted the propriety Of
appropriating or appearing to appro-
pirate the Diety for title, and decid-
ed to modify 1t by giving it the title
under which it was later incorporated.
1t was a gloomy time for the Saliva
ton Army in America. The property
Of the organization was held in the
name of Ballington Booth, and even
the War Cry bore the legend:
"The War Cry and Official Gazette
Of the Salvation Army. Ballington
Booth, proprietor" The Salvation Army
was not at that time incorporated
After his secession he relinquished his
title to the property and did all pos
sible to facilitate the transfer. His
successor had the army incorporated
and its property SO safeguarded that it
can never be alienated from the move
ment or used by some designing per-
son for his own advantage.
But when Ballington retired from
the command it was feared by some
who did not understand his character
or appreciate his innate probity that
he would carry the property with him.
Not being a corporate body, the Sal.
walton Army's property was subject
to spoliation by a possibly unscrupul-
Gus leader. Although there have been
several splits in the United States, and

London The meeting OF Bramwell
and Darlington Booth few days ago
after an arrangement of many years
has led to the making put &C of many
versions Of the controversy which cul-
minated more than II years ago In the
withdrawal of Ballington Booth from
the Salvation Army. But the truth ap-
pears to be that he resigned rather
than leave America. He had contract
cd an affection for the country which
made a permanent residence else
where intolerable to him. Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth shared in his de-
termination to remain in the land OF
the free and the home of the brave.
Early in the year 1896 the author
ities at London decided that the two
able leaders Of the Salvation Army In
America could do invaluable service In
another country, where, it was said,
the cause showed symptoms OF wan
ing. They were notified to farewell"
This warning came as q shock to the
young Booths and their American
friends. Ga
or course when Balling1n Booth
was sworn In" he promised to obey
his superior officers, to accept with
out demur or question of any kind any
assignment that might be given him
and to completely efface himself If
deemed essential to the promotion OF
the cause. This oath Is taken by every
man and woman commissioned to
serve the organization. The children
of the founder we're expected to adhere
even more tenaciously to the princi-
pies inculcated by the Salvation Army
than those who were not connected by
the ties of blood with the general.
But Ballington Booth thought the
exigencies of the American situation
would justify a departure from the
rule of unquestioning obedience which
was established when the Salvation
Army was in it's swaddling clothes.
A number of his influential friends
represented to him that to leave the
country at that time would be to invite
disaster for the entire movement in
America. He appears to have accept
ed this view of the situation and Lon
don was urged to rescind its decision.
In London 1t was believed that the
work was so we'll established in Amer
lea as to make it safe to leave 1t in
the hands Of a man not quite 80 promi-
nent in the Salvation Army as Cen
eral Booths son.

wishers of the Salvation Army, headed

LARGE EXODUS FROM BERLIN
Laboring Class to Farms, Wealthy 10
suburbs-PopuIation Rapidly
Decreasing.

Berlin.--The population of Berlin Is
classes moving out to the country to
find work, but the wealthy are forsak-
ing the city for more pretentious
homes in the nearby suburbs. The
exodus has been so steady during the
past eight months that Berlin today
has over 41,00O less inhabitants than
it had on March l.
The present year is the only one to
show decrease in population since
1873. For six years past the rate OF
increase has been comparatively slow,
but as recently as 1906 there was a
gain of $4,000 in IL months. Now the
tide has turned the other way, and the
municipality is alarmed over the de-
parture of 10 millionaires, in the Ger
man sense, in the three months ended
June 80. The city's tax receipts are
correspondingly reduced,
The loss this year appears to be not
wholly due to the movement OF the
people into into suburban towns, for
such prosperous neighbors as Char
lottenburg and Schoeneberg also show
small losses, and the gains in other adj
jacent municipalities are not large
enough to account for the removals
from the capital. The demand for la
Dor in greater Berlin this year has
been very slack, and in spite OF the
emigration to fields where work can
be secured, the number of the I'M
employed is assuming alarming proper
tions. Even the building trades, which
normally employ many thousands. re
port very limited activity.

to force back the hand toward the
shoulder blades.

of getting the back hammerlock. J.
grasped Rooney's right hand and

Suddenly ierked his right hand back,
caught his arm above the elbow and
threw my weight forward, forcing his
right shoulder to the mat. His arm
in this way was imprisoned. 1t was
only necessary then to change my po-
sition and force the imprisoned arm
back for the hammerlock. The arm

blades when the defensive wrestler
will gladly submit, turning over on
his back. 3
"The hammerlock is usually secured
in conjunction with some other hold.
A hammerlock and grapevine or u
hammerlock and crotch are very ef-
fective combinations, but not easy to
secure OH strong opponents.
When I met and defeated Jimmy
Essen, the Scottish champion, in Chi

broke it each time by rolling and using
his strength against the hold. He put

In those days Mrs. Maud BRllington
Booth by her gracious manners, her
engaging disposition and her geEuine
sympathy for the homeless and lost
won a place in the hearts Of many cub
tured and wealthy citizens OF New
York. She and her talented husband
were made welcome IN many drawing
rooms. They succeeded in reaching
and influencing a class that none OF
their predecessors in America could
get within hailing distance Of These
people helped to finance the Salvation
Army, and by setting the seal of their
approval on its work widened its
sphere and broadened its influence
Some persons have said London did
not approve of the social "triumphs"
achieved by the son and daughter-in-
law of the general. 1t was thought that
Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth had been
made a sort of social fad and that
when the persons who smiled on her
got tired of the diversion they would
simply drop her. It is only fair to
say that the position she secured for
herself Is years ago has been strength
ened by the lapse of time -ather than
weakened.
Darlington Booth, after brief resi-
dence in the country, decided to be-
come an American citizen. He told
vast audience in the legislative assem-
bly, hall at Topeka, Kan, in February
of 1898 that he regarded the Constitu-
ton of the United States as the "su-
preme expression of free people"

Mesa and Its Schools

It was pleasing task for The Republican to chronicle yesterday morning the educational progress of Mesa in the last twenty years; it's advance from a struggling village with a single and unpreentious school building to d system rather of them of architectWally beautiful and modern buildings It's high school system is surpassed in Arizona only in size and, believe in size only by other sys- tens.
 There is something back of such an educational equipment as Mesa possesses. There is rich coun- try, and there is something still essential, an intelligent and energetic population
 The advantage has been reciprocal. While Mesa has been building up this excellent school system the excellent school system has been building up Mesa and the entire Mesa country The financial advantage of the school system to the whole region is incalculabe. It is safe say that the schools have added S25 to the value of the sur rounding lands and average of $100 to resi- dence and building lots. If these estimates are cor rect nearly SO the Mesa schools have added per haps $2.000000 the value of property Mesa and its vicinity They have attracted the, kind of a population that every community desires.

Grocery will represent the Horrible Example" as exaggerated charicature of carelessly kept stores. They will drive home the simple fact that no matter how careful We may be in the production of our food products, unless the channels of distribution our sanitary foods can not be de- livered in a good, clean condition to the consumer.
 The Model Grocery will bring out three features. The first two of which are of particular interest to the business man. First is the dis play of the goods for sale. Nearly every item is in sight giving the goods an opportunity to sell them selves. It shows that it is not neces- sary to hide goods to protect them, that foods may be at once protected and displayed. The second is the convenience of the fixtures. There is a place for everything, the space is compact and much time is saved in serving each customer The third feature will appeal alike to the pub
 
 character of the display. All foods are protected where protection is necessary and bulk goods are shown in tight receptacles.
 Bulk goods are in many instances cheaper than package goods but are not purchased by the house wife be- cause of the bad conditions existing in some stores. The money might be saved or used for other things if she were assured that the store she traded at was clean and it was safe to buy bulk goods.
 A small booth will be occupied with Kitchen Suggestions. Nothing strik ingly new will be shown, but a few well known and disregarded facts will be illustrated and the dangers accompanying their neglect will be pointed out. A member of the La bOratory force will be in attendance in the booth and will demonstrate a few sample tests to tell pure from impure products. Printed directions ffOr making these tests will be given to anyone asking for them
 The exhibit should appeal to both the young and old for what we eat is always a question of interest and at times a problem. Every house. holder who visits the fair should see the exhibit and then look into the
