ORDER EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1 GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH. r' fi ll ; Sketch of Career. The Rev. William Booth, founder and i w head or the salvation Army, was corn s A at Nottingham, April 10, 1829, and edu- cated at a private, school In that town. He studied theology with the Rev. Wll f Jlam Cooke, D,. D., became a minister of I the Methodist New Connexion in 1S50, and was appointed mostly to hold special evangelistic services, to which he felt so .strongly drawn that when the conference of 1861 required him to settle In the or dinary circuit woik he resigned and began ... his labors as an evangelist among the churches wherever he had an oppor tunity. Coming In this capacity to the east end of London he observed that the vast majority of the people attended no place of worship, and lie started the "Christian mission" In July, 1865. .To this - mission, when it had become a large or ganlzation, formed upon military lines, I he gave in 1878 the name of the ' Salva tion Army," under which it Boon became '.'idely known and grew rapidly until it had, at the beginning of 1906, 7,210 posts, under the charge of 16,800 officers and jcmploye with tS,33 local officers, 1S.000 ;' i brass bandsmen andlO.OW miwiciinsv The 'army was .organized In forty-nine coun I tries-and colonies, and from the interna :tional headquarters, in Victoria street, ! London, General "fiboth directed Its af fairs. ': , : -... ... . - - .' General Booth established the War Cry as a weekly gazette of the organization i in 1880. The . paper is now published In more than twenty languages and has a j total, weekly circulation exceeding 1,200, 1000. The army maintains about 700 social ; relief Institutions in various parts of the I world, under the charge of nearly 3,000 i officers and employes.' About 7,000 fallen 1 women annually pass through the 116 res cue homes, arid, according to the army's sports, about 85 per cent of these are permanently restored to lives of virtue There 'are' 132 slum settlements In the slum, districts of great cities. .The number of annual conversions in connection with the spiritual work is reported as averag ring from 200,000 to 230,000 during the last 'ten years, 'making a total of over 2,000,000, of whom not less than 200,000 were con verted from lives of drunkenness. Attracts Wide Attention. In 1S90 General Booth published a vol ume entitled "Darkest London," contain ing a scheme for the enlightenment and : industfial support of the lower classes. ;Ths wnrk attracted world-wide attention and .Was much commented upon. In its j chief features the scheme of General ! Booth received the Indorsement of many 1 high' churchmen.' During the latter. years ;ot her life Queen Victoria made an an ! nual contribution to the Salvation Army land it Is understood that King Edward also gave the organisation substantial en couragement. In 1905; the city of London corporation conferred the freedom of the j city on General Booth and also voted a considerable sum to the funds of " the Salvation Army. , ' In the early career of the Salvation lArmy General Booth and his followers were the objects of much ridicule. The 'street meetings and the methods .of the army In general were looked upon ' as j sensational and often the. forces were hrd pressed by persecution or prejudice. But the organization persevered and when its alms and work became better known public sentiment underwent a change. . In his work General Booth was ably upported by his family. Mrs. 'Booth shared largely in all her husband's ef forts and further explained their views In a number of written works. She died of 'cancer in 1890, after several' years of 'painful Illness. Until 188$ the general's chlef-of-staff was his eldest son, Balling ton Booth. In that year, however, a dif ference occurred between the, two, due to the order of General Booth transfer ring his son from the command of the Proposed Advance on Grain Eate from Iowa to Chicago Help Up WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.-A uniform advance by the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul railway of one cent a hundred pounds In the freight rales of corn, oats feed and other commodities from points I of origin in Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota to destinations In North Dakota and other states was suspended today by the Interstate Commerce Commission un til December 21. Transcontinental railways are facing suspension by the Interstate Commerce Commission of advances in freight rates proposed recently. The new rates to be come effective September 2, would in crease the transportation charges of many commodities from the Atlantic sea board x to Paclflo coast terminals. They would also make some reductions to Inter-Rocky mountain destinations. Vigorous protests are being received from eastern manufacturers and shippers and Pacific coast jobbers and merchants. It appears likely that many of the pro posed increases will be suspended pend ing a thorough inquiry.. Generally, the increases would be made by the cancellation of existing commodi ties rates, thereby forcing commodities to take the higher class rates. Scott Leaves Within Few Days for Headquarters at Houston. WARE'S RAILROAD RISE RAPID Starts in a Telegrapher, bnt Shortly Becomes Dlapatcher, nnd Promotions to Responsi bility Follow, Following the resignation of W. B. Scott, general manager of the Union Pa cific, Tuesday morning, President Mohler has appointed Charles Ware to fill the vacancy. Prior to this time Mr. Ware had been general superintendent and as sistant general manager in charge of operation. He immediately entered upon the discharge of his duties, visiting Coun cil Bluffs and the Omaha terminals with Mr. Scott and taking over officially the company properties. Charles Wure is no stranger to Union Pacific interests. He entered the com pany's employ early In 1S90 as train dis patcher and before the ead of the year was promoted to chief dispatcher and as sistant superintendent, one promotion fol lowing another in rapid succession. As assistant superintendent he served until March, 1910, when he was appointed gen eral superintendent. In May of the same year he was promoted to the position of assistant general manager in charge f operation, still retaining the position of - ral superintendent. Ware was born January 81, 183, at Jonesboro, 111., where he attended the public schools, subsequently being gradu ated from the Normal university of Illi nois at Carbondale. His railroad career commenced in 1S82, when he learned teleg raphy' and became an operator in the em ploy of the Northwestern. With this company his rise was rapid and, although little more than a boy, he soon became train dispatcher, remaining with the com pany until 1890, when he cast his. lot with j the Union Pacific.

The appointment of Mr. Scott came through the executive committee of the Harriman system and by railroad men is looked upon as a merited promotion, com ing after many years of faithful services rendered to the roads with which he has been associated. Whlls it came as a sur prise to Mr. Scott, it was not wholly un expected, for sqme months sgo It was In timated that it would not .be long' until he would be given something better than general manager.
