Queen Mary Christens Liner,

The peak Of the highest tide Of
Autumn was awaited as the signal for
Queen Mary to name the ship and
press the button releasing the trig-
gers and sending the hull down the
well-greased blocks into the River
Clyde and the mouth Of the River
Cart.
The completed vessel will cost an
estimated $30,000,000. She was start
ed as a project of the Cunard Co. as
the first of two sister ships for the
North Atlantic Service, but early this
year the line merged with the White
Star Line and the British government
provided $4,000 900 for completion of
the first vessel and $7,500,000 for the

Queen Mary, when she was the
Duchess of York, christened another
ship 36 years ago and the simultane-

The tragedy was attendant on the

swarmed into the shipbuilding yards

GIRL TRUNK VICTIM
THOUGHT CHOKED
Body Found in Detroit Apart
ment Starts Search
for Couple.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, September 26.-Lillian
Gallaher was found today, on her
11th birthday anniversary, apparently
strangled to death and her body
stuffed into a trunk-undoubted the
victim of a degenerate, police said.
The trunk was in apartment Al at
SO Warren avenue west, six blocks
from the home where Lillian's par
ents had awaited her return since
last Thursday, with forebodingS that
grew hourly.
The body was bound and towel
tied across the mouth as gag. 1t
was in an advanced state of decom-
position. Police said they could not
ascertain definitely whether she had
been criminally attacked-or even
how she died-until careful medical
examination was made.
Police said the apartment was rented
recently to man who gave his name
as M. w. Goodrich, and his occupa-
ton as a trap drummer. A grand
piano in the room with the trunk, and
IIldIly SllCCLS VI lllIolS GU dGOoS
the place lent credence to the theory
that a musician was the last occu-
pant.
A woman lived there with him, po-
lice quoted the apartment house jani-
tor-Clyde Burgess-as saying, and a
city-wide search for the couple was
begun at once.
To AoCo orfx c1Irarir1
tendent of police, said the couple dis
appeared several days ago.
Goodrich was described as about 26
years old, S feet inches tall, weigh
ing about 125 pounds, having grayish
hair and wearing a brown suit and
gray hat when last seen. The woman
was described as about 26, feet tall,
weighing about ITO pounds and with
reddish hair.
Lillian set out from her home last
Thursday afternoon to sell chances
on punch board, as school bene-
fit. When she did not return that
evening police were notified and a
search was begun.
There were fairly definite reports
that the girl still was trying to sell
her punch board chances around dusk
Thursday evening, but the trail ended
there.
Burgess said the man who occupied
the apartment was seen in the build
ing as late as Saturday. Clippings
from newspapers of Friday were found
in the trunk with the body.
The name of the woman who had
lived with Goodrich in the apartment
was given by police as Mrs. Florence
Goodrich, formerly of Lorain, Ohio.
Police said she was seen in Detroit
as recently as Saturday.
Police said the name of the man
sought was Martin Ward Goodrich.

Criminally Insane in Lima, Ohio,
came word that patient Of that name,
committed from youngstown, Ohio,
after an attack on a child, was re-

chairman and that Farley had con-
sented to do so.
The State Committee met before
todays session Of the State conven-
ton to elect officers for the next two
years.
The Governor would not expand on
his statement when asked why he
wished Farley to continue. 1t was
generally understood, however, that
the move to re-elect Farley was in
line with the Democratic plans to seek
a decisive victory in New York State
in November to make President
Roosevelt's home State an example
for the Nation.

Declaring that the single issue of
this campaign, State and national. is

Wagner, keynote speaker at the con-
vention, said the party is not merely
seeking victory in November, but AN
overwhelming confirmation" of the
Roosevelt administration.
The Democrats, he said, are proud
of the results accomplished by Presi-

or fall on this issue alone

and improvement in working condl-
tions have kept pace with the rise in
wages"
Overnight" he said, I'VE have
achieved and gone beyond that for
which liberal America has been striv-
ing for half century.
These gains are not denied and
now that they have been attained
no one dares openly to challenge
their worth. But under cover. in
cynical whispers, the enemies of
progress attempt indirectly to undo
our work by spreading the fear that
the profit system is being endan-
oaraI .

councillor of the Sons and Daughters
of Liberty at the annual convention
which closed here yesterday. Lo-
gansport was selected for the 1885
convention.

There was a revolt against the
leadership of her brother, Bran
we'll Booth, who was charged with
nepotism and a desire to name his
successor. Evangeline Booth was
one of the leaders in the revolt
against her brother.
1t ended in February, 1929, when
the high council finally declared
Bramwell Booth to be unfit for
service on account of the state of
his health. It removed him from
his post and elected Edward Hig-
gins, who for ten years had been
chief of staff. Bramwell Booth died
a few months later.
Of the probable candidates
against Evangeline Booth, Henry
Mapp is highly favored. Born in
Bombay, he is the present chief of
staff. A third candidate is Com
missioner David Lamb, born in
Scotland; he gave up his business
as chemist to enter the army, and
now is the head of the intelligence
office. The fourth name canvaSsed
is that of Samuel Hurren, who once
boSsed the. army's treasury and is
now in charge of the William Booth
Memorial Training college in Lon
don, which turns out about 400
army officers each year.
The army never gives out figures
on its total membership. Based
upon the circulation of it's chief
newspaper, 1.-THE War Cry" it is
estimated that there are more than
100000 active members. The
greatest number probably is in
Great Britain, where there are 6,216
officers and 1,721 centerS of work.
In the United States, there are 4,64O
officers and Pip centers of work.

KIN OF BOOTH
MAY BE NAMED
RELIGIOUS HEAD
EvangeIine in Line to Take
Over Direction of
Salvation Army.
BY MILTON BRONNER
Times Special Writer

LONDON, June 8-This summer
in secret conclave held somewhere
near London, there will be decided,
yea or nay, the ardent ambition of
many Americans to see Evangeline
Booth made head of one of the
greatest religious organizations in
the world-the Salvation Army.
Summons will shortly be issued
asking the presence here of the
forty-Six members of the high coun-
Gil, who will decide who shall be
the fourth head of the army, which
was formally founded in 1878. The
first general was the founder him
self-William Booth. The second
was his son, Bramwell Booth. The
third was Edward j. Higgins, who is
voluntarily resigning because of i'll
health.
The high council consists of fif-
teen representatives from Great
Britain, the home country of the
army; six from the United States,
five from India, two from Australia
and one each from nineteen other
lands.
Three Booth Delegates
The American representatives will
be Commander Evangeline Booth,
head of the army in the United
States; Lieutenant Commissioner
Damon, in charge of the southern
ctofoc. O0T,a NHovuoII II,
charge of the eastern states; Com
missioner Mcintyre, in charge of
the western states, and Lieutenant
Commissioner Parker.
The Booth family will have three
delegates. In addition to Evange-
line, who is daughter of founder
William Booth, there will be two
daughters of Bramwe1 Booth and,
therefore, granddaughter of the
founder Catherine Bramwell-
Booth, who is head of Women's
Social Work in Great Britain, and
Mary Booth, who is in charge of
the work in Denmark.
For the succession to General
Higgins, four people are being &C
lively canvassed: Evangeline Booth,
Henry Mapp, Samuel Hurren and
David Lamb.
AS the United States is one of
the leading fields of Salvation Army
activity and as Evangeline Boot
is daughter of the founder, there
is strong sentiment in favor of
her, especially as she is SO. 1t is
now or never for her, as the army
has a rule that nobody is eligible
after attaining the age of 70.
Il Started in London
Born in England, Evangeline
Booth has spent thirty years of her
life in America and is now an
American citizen. She started as a
captain in the army in Marylebone,
London, when that district was
cough and when army lasses were
ften subjected to rough treatment
" louis who resented the army's
work. Evangeline Booth showed her
daring by going all over England to
work among ruff1ans in peril
fraught neighborhoods.
Her candidacy will not have
smooth sailing. There will be echoes
of bitter fight Of five years ago.
