Wins ln Dispute With Brother
 on Commanding Post

New York, Nov. Il LT9SEfforts of the past six years by her brother to dislodge Evangelne Booth as Ameri- can commander of the Salvation Army have ended with a reorgani- zation that leaves her in the post of national commander.
 w. Bramwell Booth. of London, ganization. tried in 1920 and 1923 to remove her on the grounds that their father, founder of the Salvation Army, had established shifting off, cers as organization policy. His ef- forts brought protests that resulted each time in her reappointment for three year terms. She announced last night that she would continue indefinitely as national commander.
 Evangeline and Bramwell Booth of London, as well as Ballington Booth head of the Volunteers of America, are the children of the late General William Booth. Ballington Booth. who held Evangeline Booths present position, broke with his father in 1896 and founded the American organization.

 Evangeline Booth, who has only recently returned to her duties after long illness, will be formally well ,comed back at a reception here next Tuesday night under the chairman ship of Curtiss D. Wilbur. secretary of the navy.
 Reorganization of the work of the Salvation Army in the United States as announced yesterday included the erection on January i of new ter ritory of administration with head quarters in Atlanta, Ga, to supple ment the work of the three present areas with headquarters in New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

ed a desire to have the common council adjudicate the question on a proposition of whether or not the zone would be changed, rather than on a plea for special exception. He pointed to the fact of strenuous opposition and declared against use of arbitrary powers where there is such opposition.
 Mrs. Stone in Opposition
 Mrs. E. B. Stone, owner of a home on Russell street, was re- corded as opposed. She said she and her husband are both inter- ested in having the Masons pro- vided with a home here, and she pledged her efforts toward raising the necessary funds. But, she argued, the district is a residential zone and should be maintained as such since property owners have gone to great pains to preserve the beauty of the street. T want the Masons to have home; but I also want my own home" Mrs. Stone said in closing her argument.
 The application of Mrs. F. NJ. Roche for special exception to permit a business building at East Main and East streets was laid over to the next meeting because papers in the case were not filed in time to permit of their perusal by the clerk of the board.
 J. A. Carlson. was granted change in building line from 25 to 20 feet, on Chapman street, from Chapman Court to Newington avenue.
 An application of the Fidelity Fi- nance corporation for a special ex- ception to permit building of a bank at the Beach property on West Main street was laid over at the request of Attorney Cyril F. Gaffney, whose clients wish to give the plan study. President J. M. Chernoff of the financing corpora tion expressed no opposition to the postponement. .

other piece of land had no bearing on the main question of whether an exception would be granted for the Sloper plot.
 Senator Hall Explains Plan
 At the outset of the hearing, Sem ator Edward r. Hall was given the floor to present the Masons' plea. He Isaid:
 I've had hoped the objections which developed at the last hearing on our application for building permit were directed entirely to the set back line of the plans submitted at that time. We did not think the club or temple as such would be considered an objection to the pro- perty holders on Russell street.
 "In Section 8, District A, the erec- tion of club is permitted. Web ster defines a club as follows: An association of persons for the pro- motion of some common object. jointly supported and meeting peri odically. Membership Is usually conferred by a ballot and carries the privilege of exclusive use of a club building or apartment"
 "A body of Masons is surely an association of persons for the pro- motion of some common object, or may I say, common good. It IS jointly supported and meets periodic ally. and membership is certainly conferred by ballot only
 "The building we contemplate contains 16,10S square feet of floor space; 66 2-3 per cent will be used as specified in Webster's definition of club, the remaining B 1-S per cent can rightly be described as a lodge which Webster defines as fol- lows: "A place of meeting for mem- bers of secret society as that Of Free Masons or Odd Fellows. A work shop of body of Masons, a hall or meeting place of Masons and other secret societies.
 "When the Masonic body sold the property on West Main street there was persistent demand by the Masons that the site committee ac- lively make a search for site, and we did canvass all portions of the city. We were first favorably im- pressed with a location in Belvidere, about opposite the State Normal school where a plot of land could be purchased at a reasonable figure. This recommendation to our board of directors was turned down. The Masons at large claimed the location was too far out. necessitating an automobile to reach it, and we con- tinued our inquiries.
 we were offered the Zwick prop erty on South High street at the head of Court street, but decided the erection cost would be prohibitive. The Camp Real Estate company tried to interest us in the Humphrey property at the corner of West Main and Russell streets, and had We purchased this property we could have erected a temple front ing on Russell street in accordance with class c zoning ordinance, with in but 45 feet of the lot on which we now want to build. MT. Loomis approached Mir. Hungerford for a price on his holding at S5 Russell street. Our committee was very much interested but the frontage
New Britain herald., 1926-11-11

was SS feet only, and with the type of building we had in mind we wanted lawn of at least 20 feet on each side. The price of this property included perfectly good house that would have to be demol- iShed.
 Tn the setting of this building you will note we are allowing 40 per cent of the lot width for side yards, placing it S6 feet 6 inches from the front line.
 At the former meeting of this board it was intimated that we had consummated the purchase of this land without a knowledge as to whether we could build the temple thereon. I want to explain that on September Fist when this site was first considered we wrote the build ing inspector. Realizing that be- fore we could know definitely we would have to have plans for the building inspectors examination we consulted an architect and had the plans worked out. We then applied for the permit.
 Senator Hall read correspondence from the office of the building in spector in which that official point ed to the possibility of an appeal from his Judgement were he to is- sue a permit The letter also stated that the inspector was merely eX- pressing his own opinion and that it is given without prejudice to the city or without binding the city or building department.
 The senator concluded his re- marks by saying that he did not anticipate opposition, particularly from persons who were willing to sell their own property for the same purpose.
 Sloper Has Most at Stake A. J. Sloper, president of the New Britain National bank, whose pro- perty the Masons will buy if they are permitted to build, made it clear that he has no desire to dispose of the plot for any purpose other than the Masonic building. He owns the property on Grove Hill which backs up to the proposed building site, and he declared he has more at stake than any two of the protesting pro- perty owners with the exception of Mrs. Mitchell who was represented as opposed by Attorney Charles Mitchell. In reply to question, MT. Sloper said the property has not been sold, but will be transferred if the exception is granted. Attorney Mitchell argued the pro- | posed change is not an exception, but actually an amendment and calls on the board of adjustment to perform a function that is pro- | perly up to the common council. He argued the law in the premises at i length, and charged that property owners who had accepted zoning were entitled to protection by the law.
 Judge Cooper said he would like to see the power of the board de- termined in court, advising that, if the contention of MT. Mitchell is correct. the board has erred more than 20 times in granting excep- tions.
 | Senator Hall told the commission CTS he has devoted considera ble time to a reading of court decisions on zoning and he would be perfect ly satisfied to submit this question to the courts.

with the most uncertain prospect which has confronted it in many years. What was considered at the outset of the season a team of championship caliber is now riddled with injuries, lack of morale. and probable dissension. With alumni and undergraduates shouting for change in administration, the team has had it's confidence in it's coach shaken, but even more serious has been the loss of confidence in it. self which cannot but have result ed from the wretched showings of the past three Saturdays. The state of affairs is so chaotic that no line up has yet been fixed for the Princeton fray and the probable starters include several who have never yet been on the field at the opening whistle.
 Holabird, in fact, has yet to get in even as a substitute, but he is one of the probabilities for this week. Bunnell is the only fixture in the backfield, and were he not captain it is to be doubted if he would be so fixed: Failing and Wadsworth are the other favored men at present. Failing can kick. fumbling tendency, ironically enough a failing, while Wadsworth has been given little chance this year to display his ability at plunging and booting. The lame duck sena- tors son will be derricked if Bill Kline is able to play, and the others who are now forming with the regulars are liable. to be replaced by Stone, McGunigle. Foote, or Ho- ben. Yale's line troubles appear to be over, but now the backfield is shot.
 In contrast to the downward course of Yale, Roper's Princeton ians have come along in true Rop- CT fashion, disregarding early games and building up gradually to be at full strength when they meet the supreme tests with Harvard and Yale. The Tiger line showed it's mettle last week in holding Harvard helpless, while Slage and Prendergast demonstrated they had lost none of their 1925 ability. Sat urday's game looks very much like Ia Princeton victory, but Jones may be able to fire his team with enough spirit to at least make a game of it.
