WORK IN WAR REVIEWED Woman at Head of Institution .in America Recalls Early Days of Efforts When Opposition orten Included Police Interfernece. BY LEONE CASS BAER. In a rose-colored dressing sown that brought out the golden bronze of her fluffy curly hair and the topaz color of her smiling eyes, Eva Booth, head of the Salvation Army in America, re ceived me in her suite at the Hotl Seward. Miss Booth is on her way to K7 Yorlc from San Francisco. She had been resting for a bit before seeing a flock of generals and soldiers and commanders of the local army. For she is a very busy woman and tries to keep in touch with every de tail of the big working force she com mands. An energetic body is hers, and he puts one Instantly at ease with . her warm smile and readiness to talk. From a slum worker, through the ranks of soldier, War Cry seller and on up the line of promotion, I2va Booth has worked to the top. l ather's Memory Is Inspiration. The memory of her father. General "William Booth, founder of the Salva tion Army, is her constant inspiration if she needed other than her intense love for the work itself. "I have seen the Salvation ' Army grow from the moment when it was but a vague concept in my father's mind. I remember the time when, few in num bers, the hand of every -man seemed to be against us; only here and there was a voice raised in our favor. We were stoned and beaten and dragged through the streets, and arrested ana incarcerated. The pulpits rang wfth denunciations of the manner in which we 'dragged religion into the gutters'; the press ridiculed and .flung shafts of bitterest irony at us. "But God enabled us to endure and has brought us to a time when, running my mind over the field. I can find only here and there an active opponent. Such opponents as we have are chiefly men who are possessed with some per sonal motive. "Amazing to the world as was our development during the first 25 years of our separate existence, the last dec ade has maintained the peace. We have entered fields of social usefulness of whose very existence we had neither the time nor the force to notice 30 years ago. "Everywhere it is conceded that we have been pioneers and originators in the social relief realm. So many organizations, private and public, are now employing our methods and spirit that it is likely to be forgotten that we were the breakers of the way. "As to our purely evangelistic op erations, the advance has been steady and to us most gratifying. Our methods are no longer novel, nor even unique. And my officers must work harder for similar results than in earlier days " Miss Booth spoke of her satisfac tion in the growth, of the social relief operations all along her tour of In spection, for this visit, you must know is solely one of looking into things' She spoke, too, of the war. "I have counselled my officers and soldiers to maintain a strict neu trality." Miss Booth, you know, is English, but for 19 years her work has been in America, "The Salvation Army, more than most peoples, have reason to be neu tral. I have learned that probably 3 5.000 of our comrades are. or have been, on the flrisg line; there are Sal vation Army soldiers and officers in all the armies. An entire battalion of soldiers was recruited from Salvation Army institutions in Great Britain. More i than 30 Salvationists have re ceived the Iron Cross and probably as many the Victoria Cross and the cor responding French decoration for valor. Workers Busy In War Zone. "Other thousands of Salvationists are engaged in relief operations. It is probably not generally known, but we have a large variety of relief agencies in operation, both at the front and in the belligerent countries. The echo of the first shots of the war had scarcely died before our General, my eldest brother, had offered the British mili tary authorities our relief institutions in Great Britain for whatever purposes they chose to use them. Our command ing officer in Germany made the same offer to the German authorities; in both cases the offer was gratefully ac cepted, and many of our buildings in these countries, as well as in France, Italy and Bulgaria, have since been employed as hospitals." Miss Booth lives about 25 miles out of New York in a country home where she looks after her flower garden and takes long horseback rides. She Is a student and lover of nature and loves our Western mountains and big trees. A suffragist, too, is Kva Booth, but that is another long story.

BENEFITS PATRONS Extraordinary Acts Are Booked In Vaudeville Owing to Unusual Conditions Abroad, Says Xew York Manager. "The Northwest is beginning to feel the wave of rejuvenated business con ditions," says Martin Beclc. general manager of the forty-odd theaters on the Orpheum circuit, who is in the city on a tour of inspection. And since "shows" are more or less of a luxury, Mr. Beck believes he is one of the first to detect that wave of prosperity. "I And that the business in the Mid dle West is quite good at present," said Mr. Beck last night. "It has been bad all over the country, I admit, but it i3 picking up wonderfully. I have visited practically half of the towns on the circuit, including the houses in Canada, and I find that business is bet ter than I had hoped to find it. Even in Canada, where the people are get ting over the nrst results of the war, I found that there was a renewed ac tivity in the theatrical line. 'Yes, the war did affect our business materially at first, for people closed down on the theatrical patronage just as they have in other lines of business. The stock markets in New York tem porarily closed to avoid a panic, and little by little resumed normal con ditions, and the same building-up process has characterized the "show business. People Have Money. "But now, when there are agents of the Kuropean governments everywhere placing war orders, and the mills and factories are doing more business than they have ever done before, the people are beginning to get over the idea that we are in financial danger and are be ginning to spend their money freely. The people have it, and it is just a matter of getting out of their heads the idea that times are bad. Normal conditions must be the result. "We have benefited by the war in one way, and that is in the securing of better acts for our houses. The war has sent to this country artists whom we never before dreamed of being able to secure, and we have billed for our circuits, acts that are extraordinary. The coming to this country of foreign stars has stimulataed the Americans to better things and the whole theatrical profession has benefited." Mr. Beck declared that the movinir- plcture companies were now having to "iaae tneir productions, and as they had "shown their hand" the return of the moving-picture clientele to vaude ville and the spoken drama was inevit able. "When you have seen any of the great artists once on the screen," said Mr. Beck, "you have seen all he or she has to offer." He declared that in New York theaters Charlie Chaplin and Mary r icKiord, once loved, were on the wane. k Galleries Begin to Fill. "The moving-picture business,' con tinued Mr. Beck, "has injured us in the past, but the only place that we feel the Injury at present is in the galleries. As soon as the people of any com munity realize the class of acts that we are offering, our houses fill, and we thus create our own clientele." Mr. Beck said that during the pres ent season he would give to patrons of the Orpheum theaters such stars as Gertrude Hoffman. Lillian Russell and many others. Mort Singer, who has brought to this city many musical comedies, is now in the employ of the Orpheum manage ment. and ia with Mr. Beck on his tour.

CAR REPORTED LEAKY Accident Investigation Takes on New Aspect. CARMAN GATHERS EVIDENCE lear That Men of Company Giving Testimony Before Commission Will Have Trouble Is Dispelled by Stand of Investigators. An all-afternoon blame-fixing Ses sion before the Public Service Commis sion yesterday threw a little new light on the streetcar accident Wednesday night, when a runaway car crashed into two others, injuring six people. The conductor and motorman, S. M. Ramsay and J. C. Allen, admitted they violated the rules when they both left the car at the same time while it was standing on a grade. Hitherto they had received all the blame for the accident. The company had discharged them. Car No. 649 shared some of the blame with them yesterday, however. ncii us ieamea mat ne nad oeen summoned before the Commission Con ductor Ramsay talked to other carmen and obtained information about the previous record of the car. Car Knortn to Be "Leaky." According to Mr. Ramsay, 649 bore a bad reputation among the carmen generally. It was known to be "leaky," he said. He gave the names of numer ous conductors and motormen who had previously "turned in" or "marked up" 649 as "leaking air badly." Not long before the . accident, Mr. Ramsay said, another conductor re ported that the air was leaking on this car, arid told the foreman at the barn "if it isn't fixed there will be a terrible accident." Some time ago, Ramsay said, the same car ran away at Eleventh and Morrison streets, but sped only a short distance, when it ran into another car, smashing the fenders on both cars. "I've got busy ince the accident to save myself." said Ramsay. He gave the names of several other carmen who had had experience with 649. At first he was reluctant to give their names. "I don't want to get anybody into trouble," he explained. Testimony of Grocer Heard. "Well," remarked Commissioner Ait- chi3on, "if anybody gets into trouble because of testimony given before this board, it will go pretty hard, with who ever starts the trouble." Frank Brown, grocer at Thirteenth and Hall ' streets, testified briefly. He said Allen, the motorman. had entered the store to get a bottle of milk for lunch. No "sooner had he left than Ramsay came in. Shortlx thereafter, he said, Allen came back and ex claimed: "Our car is gone." Ross P. Myers, another motorman who was present, testified that ha had reported the air connections on car 649 working badly. Kules of Company Investigated. Fred Cooper, superintendent of trans portation. was questioned at great length on the rules of the company. especially with regard to crews leav ing their cars. It appears that the company's rule prohibits both mem bers of the crew from leaving the car at the same time except in cases of emergency, and never when the car is stopped on a grade. The train crews are not examined on the rule book at regular intervals, he said. Some time ago a bulletin had been placed on the boards in all the car barns calling attention to the rule about both members of the crew leav ing the car at the same time, Mr. Cooper said. He could not remember the occasion for this bulletin, how ever. He said he- issued bulletins "every day or so," calling attention to some of the company's rules. The past record of Car No. 649 for six months previous to the accident will be brought before the Commission Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock. At that time, also, other carmen named by Conductor Ramsay will be summoned and questioned about the car's record. DROWNED MAN IS FOUND BODY IS StTPOSED TO BE EDWARD SB ANSOX, OK KEWCASTL.E. . Washington Oddfellows Are Notified by Coroner Death la Attributed to Suicidal Jump. "With feet imbedded in mud and bodv almost erect, though the face was in the water, which was but three feet deep at the spot, the body of a man supposed to be Edward Swanson, of Newcastle, Wash., was discovered by City Grappler Brady yesterday morn ing in a pool or water beneath the Broadway bridge and between Albers docks Nos. 1 and 2. Vrom his position the man is supposed to have jumped into the water with suicidal intent. Lack of money was not the cause of suicide, thinks Deputy Coroner Smith, as the man was well dressed and had $30.10 in the pockets of his clothing. He was a member In good standing in the Newcastle Lodge of Oddfellows, and the lodge was telegraphed yesterday by the Coroner. The body had been in the water about ten days. The Coroner received no information yesterday as to the man's relatives. . Xew York Census Raised. NEW YORK. Nov. 12.

Central Oregon people are quite en thusiastic over the prospects of ob taining a new railroad, as projected by Mr. Strahorn. This project, in fact, has been the motive for the organized effort to form a league of interests to represent all the Central Oregon terri tory. A similar organization flourishd in the interior counties a few years, ago, but of recent years has not been ac tive. At the meeting of the Oregon development bureau of the Chamber of Commerce a few weeks ago tentative arrangements were made for reorgan ization, too. of the Oregon Develop ment League, which recently bore a relation to the state at large similar to that of the Central Oregon Develop ment League in the interior; Portland Delegation to Gu. It Is expected that the Portland Chamber will co-operate actively with both the Central Oregon and the State League. Following the meeting at Bend on Wednesday Mr. Strahorn will leave on a tour of inspection of the territory that his proposed road is to serve. He will be accompanied by I-r. Colt and by other members of the committee appointed a few weeks ago to co-oner- ate with Mr. Strahorn- in tha task of financing the new enterprise. Other members of this committee are A. L. Mills. J. C. Ainsworth. Nathan Strauss, Franklin T. Griffith and W. M. Ladd. Efforts are being made to organize a party of Portland business men to accompany Mr. Strahorn and Mr. Colt to Bend next Wednesday. N.J.

They are going by way of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Edward D. Baldwin, private secretary to Representative Slnnott, will make the trip East with them. Representative Sinnott has sharply donned ideas on National defense and rural credits. "I am very strongly in favor of action by Congress to in crease our Navy and Army so that they will be adequate for the defense of the country in any eventuality," he said at the Imperial .Hotel last nlghu Representative Gardner, of Mas sachusetts, is the man who first opened the eyes of the country to the de fenseless condition of the Nation. I tupported Mr. Gardner when he first raised the issue of adequate prepared ness and recent European events onlv strengthen my belief in the wisdom of this course. "I shall make a determined effort in this Congress to obtain legislation for a rural credit system. One thing is certain, if Congress is permitted to legislate, a rural credit measure will be passed. President Wilson does not seem enthusiastic over the plan, how ever, and attempts may be madt) to smother rural credits legislation. I regard this question as one of tne largest and most important now before the country, perhaps the 'most important. It must be met and it must be met in a way that will give the needed aid to the farmer." Representative Sinnott is a devoted family man and when he goes to Wash ington the children go. too.
