.EVANGEL|NE BOOTH
SAILS |NCOGN|TO
Goes to England, Paper
Says, Where She May Sue
Ceed Brother in Row.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 22.-The
New York Times today says that
Comdr. Evangeline Booth, chief execu-
tive of the Salvation Army in the
United States, sailed secretly for Eng
land on the Olympic early today on a
journey that may end with the removal
Of her brother, Gen. Bramwell Booth,
as international head of the army, and
her election.
The meeting of the high council will
be the first ever held. It was called
as a result of q written demand by
seven commissioners as requested by
the constitution. All the signers have
their headquarters in London. The
meeting VIII be attended by 63 commits
sioners and territorial leaders in COM
mand of the Salvation Army forces
in SO countries and colonies. There are
six commissioners in the United States.
The council can remove the presiding
head by a three-fourths vote and by
a two-thirds vote elect a successor.
Reform Element Acts.
A reform element within the Saliva
ton Army, which for eight years years
has been seeking to persuade Gen.
Booth to give up his automatic rule,
SAYS the Times, has caused the calling
of the high council Of the army in
London on January to decide whether
Gen. Booth should be removed on the
ground of unfltness to continue his
duties.
Gen. Booth is 70 years old and has
been in failing health for some years.
Negotiations to persuade him to change
the constitution were halted last May
when he became seriously i'll.
Under the constitution of the army
Gen. Booth is the sole~ruler and upon
his death can pass the leadership to
any one Of his choosing by placing
the name in a sealed envelope to be
opened after his death. This was done
by his father, william Booth, founder
Of the army, who appointed the pres
ent ruler.
Bramwen Booth is understood to
have followed his fathers example and
to have inclosed the name of one Of
his seven children in an envelope.
Commander Booth Backed.
If Bramwell Booth is deposed, the
high council will appoint his success
or. Comdr. Booth, says the Til IS,
has not put herself forward for the post,
but she will be urged for the place by
other American delegates. They regard
her as the logical choice because she is
daughter Of the founder and because
of the growth of the army in the
United States under her leadership.
Comdr. Booth sailed under fictitious
name in order to avoid publicity, but
the Times says the fact that she sailed
was confirmed by George w. Wicker
sham, attorney for the Salvation Army
in the United States.

GRAND CANYON, Ariz., December
22.-The tedious process Of wrenching
from the Colorado River some clue to
the fate of Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn Hyde
was progressing yesterday as searching
the region 13 miles below Diamond
Greek, where the Hyde scow was found.
After locating the scow, rammed
against a rock in the isolated canyon
bottom, the Army planes abandoned
the hunt.
The possibility that the Hansen,
Idaho, couple who attempted to shoot
the Grand Canyon Rapids in the
homemade craft for q thrill" may
be stranded without food or shelter
beneath the steep walls of the declivity,
spurred boat parties on down the
treacherous stream.
Indians and volunteers from Grand
Canyon were mushing through the
snow on the canyon rim in an effort
to find some trace Of the couple, who
may have climbed the cliffs and begun
a dangerous journey afoot southwark
toward habitation.
The Hydes have not been reported
seen since they passed Bright Angel
Trial here November 18, and are three
weeks overdue at Needles, Calf, $50
miles down the river, where they ex-
pected to end their vacation clark"

ROAD CHANGE BILL
. SENT TO CONGRESS
Power Would Be Given Law
makers to Abandon or Re-
wise D. C. Thoroughfares.

The District Commissioners today
submitted to Congress the draft of a
bill giving them power to abandon OF
change the lines of streets and high
ways.
According to an act approved June
30. 1925, the Commissioners are allowed
to make changes in the highway plans
which were drawn up In 1898 only in
cases where the lines Of the proposed
street or highway have not yet been
dedicated or opened.
"The street system of the District
of Columbia" the Commissioners wrote
Outside of the old cities OF Washing
ton and Georgetown, was established
by the highway plan approved IN 1893,
pursuant to the act OF March 2, 1898.
At the time of the adoption OF the
plan large areas of the District were
entirely undeveloped.
The approved permanent street sys-.
tenn imposed upon these undeveloped
areas was not always carefully adjusted
to the topography and other local con-
siderations. Recognition of the pro-
priety of changes in the highway plan
is found in the act itself which pre-
scribes the method by which such
changes can be made; but owing to the
lack of power to close and vacate dedl-
Gated and opened streets, the Commis-
sioners find themselves unable to make
changes in the plan affecting streets
that have been thus dedicated and
"The proposed amendment to the act
of January 80, 1925, will permit the
closing of dedicated or opened streets
under these conditions, after a public
hearing. Such authority would enable
the Commissioners and the Park and
Planning Commission to accomplish
many needed changes in the highway
plan and to eliminate therefrom many
wholly unnecessary streets through
public property without the necessity of
securing legislation Of Congress in each
specific case, but with full opportunity
for the presentation of all pertinent
facts and considerations in advance OF
action"
