Neenu of Brothers Short Time Ago After Estrangemen of
Many Years Recalls Controversy Of 1896, When It Was De-
cded by the Authorities in London That BaIngton
Should Go to England.

1t was realized as soon as Balllngton
issued what might be termed an ulti-
matum that his loss TO the 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 Darlington 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 a 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 a new move.

The hammerlock is one of the effec-
tive holds in wrestling. When once
secured by a strong aggressor, 1t 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
poTtant 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 SIC q
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. "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

In the heyday of his popularity, petit
toned London to permit Ballington
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.
Bramwell 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
patty shown by Americans for the
cause, but he said no exception to an
imperative rule could be made in the
case of any member of the Booth FAM
fly. 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
announced would be as difficult as to
obtain the revocation of Median-Per-
so would have been TO create breach
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
distrust may have followed reconsid-
Grafton of the generals decision.
In the Salvation Army General
Booth sustained the relation to Bal
Iington of superior to subordinate
officer, not that of father to 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.

utilized as a recruiting station for the
churches. They insisted that the Unit
ed States needed such movement
and he was we'll 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 it 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 Darlington Booth, and even
the War Cry bore the legend:
THE War Cry and Official Gazette
of the Salvation Army. Darlington
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 it's property so safeguarded that II
can never be alienated from the move
ment or used by some designing per
son for his own advantage.
But when Darlington 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

the leverage thus obtained to accom-

oned member is pulled back, the grip

tacker's hands and a waistlock added
to force back the hand toward the
shoulder blades.

Suddenly jerked his right hand back,

only necessary then to change my po-
sition and force the imprisoned arm

"The hammerlock is usually secured

hammerlock and crotch are very eff
fective combinations, but not easy to
secure on strong opponents.

Essen, the Scottish champion, in Chi

LARGE EXODUS FROM BERLIN
Laboring Glass to Farms, Wealthy 10
suburbs-PopuIatlon Rapidly
Decreasing.

Berlin.--The population of Berlin ID
decreasing. Not only are the laboring
classes moving out to the country to
find work, but the wealthy are forsak-
ing the city for more pretentlous
homes in the nearby suburbs. The
exodus has been so steady during the
past eight months that Berlin today
has over Al, 900 less inhabitants than
it had on March 1.
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
gain of 81, 900 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 snow
small losses, and the gains in other al
jacent municipalities are not large
enough to account for the removals
from the capital. The demand for la"
Dor in greater Berlin this year mas
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
lions. Even the building trades, which
normally employ many thousands, re
port very limited activity.

In those days Mrs. Maud Ballington
Booth by her gracious manners, her
engaging disposition and her genuine
sympathy for the homeless and lost
won a place in the hearts OF many cul-
tured and wealthy citizens of New
York. She and her talented husband
we're 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 it's work widened it's
sphere and broadened it's 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 a brief resi-

come an American citizen. He told a
vast audience in the legislative assem-
bly, hall at Topeka, Kan, in February
Of 1893 that he regarded the Constitu-
