Drops Dead During Emotional Speech With Council in Ses- sion Trying to Elect Successor to Deposed Leader.
Court Grants Bramwell's Request and Refuses to Allow Selection of New Head Until After q Hearing on Monday.

sunbury-on-T Thames, Eng, Jan. 1s R@Commissioner William Haines, vice president of the high council of the Salvation Army, in session here. dropped dead last night. At the conclusion of an emotional speech before the council which was then considering the election of . successor to Gen. Bramwell Booth. deposed leader, Commissioner Haines crumpled and fell dead.
 International Secretary
 Commissioner Haines was inter- national secretary for Europe. His home was in London. He was elect ed vice president of the council on its first meeting January 8.
 An injunction granted in London restraining the high council of the Salvation Army from electing s,lc- cessor to Bramwell Booth, was sery- ed on the council shortly before { o'clock this afternoon. The injunc- ton operates until after a hearing by the court which has been set for next Monday morning.
 Death Occurs
 Catherine and Mary Booth, daugh- ters Of the general, were present when the injunction, which came as 8 great surprise, was served. In- mediately afterward the death of Commissioner Haines occurred. Fearful that the council, which is on the point of electing a successor 10 Bramwell Booth, would rush through the election before the writ of injunction could be served, the complainants employed the unusual method of service by telephoning the courts order from London.
 Relayed By Wire
 The writ thus relayed by wire, was quickly served as the councillors were assembling to expedite election of the new army chief. A warning of Bramwell Booths move had been received here and the council excit. edly attempted to gather a quorum

SENIORS DISCIPLINE
 JUNIORS AT NORMAL
Found Guilty of Insubordi. nation, Liberties Are
 Restricted

Enforcement of disciplinary rules on juniors by seuiors has been voted at the State Normal school on the ground that juniors have been fn- subordinate and have not paid due regard to the caste standing of the seniors.
 They were brought to trial be- fore jury and judge of seniors yesterday. To the amazement of the juniors as they aquirmed on the anxious bench, they not only were charged with insubordination but to all their high crimes and misde- meanors was added that of break ing the speed laws of the classes by beating the seniors into the lunch room. The shocked judges decided 10 be lenient and deprived the wicked juniors of some of their pleasures
 It has been resolved upon verdict of the seniors, accepted under pro- test by the juniors. that from now until the end of the year the juniors shall be deprived of the privileges of the promenade. regardless of who might be their guests. They also must submit to the edicts of their elders. the seniors, by remaining off the court in the rear of the building, suffering their humiliation in si- lence.
 In addition to these penalties. the juniors are to be taught theer places and must henceforth publicly recog- nize the fact that they are inferior to the seniors. The doorway through which the seniors enter to peruse their studies during the day will not swing either inward or outward 10 the incorrigible juniors. Only the open sesame of the all important senior will open the forbidden doors.
 In further token of the complete submission of the juniors, each one must wear around her neck or pinned on her coat or in some place, probably designated by the judges, red ribbon. They will be kno, n in the school as "the be-ribboned juniors" and thus will be marked as social outcasts henceforth.
 Following the trial the culprits were compensated by musical program including several songs by Miss Harriet Foley. senior, with Miss Ethel Prior, music supervisor, at the piano.
