n (Special to The Journal.) .
London, England, 'Aug. 21. General
Wlllla,nr Booth, founder and head of theJ
Salvation army, died last night He waa
13 years old.
- The body lies In state today at Balva
tton army hall In the Clapton district,
London, where It will remain for a week.
Interment probably will be In Abney
Park, Stoke Newington. Some propose
to have burial take place In Westminster
Abbey, but the abbey authorities oppose
the suggestion as Booth was a "dissen
ter."
General Lays Sows Sword.
The Salvation army headquarters
have arranged to conduct the routine
business of the organization until a
successor Is installed, and today Issued
this simple announcement:
''Our general has laid down his sword.
God is with us."
General Booth left practically no
estate. The fortunes that have been
given him and (arned by him went for
the support of the army.
Ballington Booth Cables.
It waa reported yesterday that Ball-
Ineton Booth, who has been entranced
from his father, cabled hla love and
sympathy and asked for forgiveness, but
the general was unconscious and did not
get the message.
General Booth was unconscious for 48
hours before he died. His case haJ
been hopeless for a week, following sop
tlo poisoning which sot in after an oper
atlon 12 weeks ago for cataract in oni
ye.
He knew several days ago that the
end was near. He often spoke of the
closing of his life work. Nearly all
members of his immediate family except
Ballington Booth were present when the
ganeral dlect at his home eight miles
from London.
Varna Put Into Envelop.
Until an envelope now In the hands
Of General Booth's attorneys Is opened,
no one will know who Is to succeed
General Booth In command of the Sal
vation army. This envelope, into which
General Booth placed the name of his
successor, was sealed and laid away sev
eral years ago.
It Is considered certain, however, that
Bramwcll Booth will succeed his father

Thousands of cablegrams and tele

eral Booth were received here today
by members of the family and heads of
the Salvation army.

CITY MOURNS LOSS OF
POPULAR POSTMASTER
(Continued From Paue One.)

plying with the rules of the department.
Pending the appointment of an acting
-postmaster, who will serve until the ap
pointment of a regular postmaster, Mr.
Williamson will have charge of all local
poslofflce affairs.
This is the second time Williamson
has been called upon to art as post
master through the death of his superior.
He was assistant postmaster in the
spring of 1910 when John H. Young,
then postmaster,, died, following a long
Illness. With the death of Mr. Merrick.
Who was appointed to succeed to Young's
position, Williamson is called upon to
take the executive's reins a second time.
The assistant postmaster was much
affected by Mr. -Merrick's death.
"In addition to being my superior, he
Was my friend," said Mr. Williamson.
"Mr. Merrick probably was the best
beloved man In Portland. His genial
good nature made him hosts of friends.
He was generous to a fault, and was
always ready to put forth a helping
hand to nnyone in need. Around the
postofflce lie was popular, and he never
poke a cross word to any subordinate
His passing will be wept by all who
Juww-.htm." -
Mr. Merrick left for Lakevlew to at
tend the meeting of the Progressive
Business Men's club last Thursday with
K-A,-, JPerry. - They took the boat to
The Dalles and from there motored to
Lakevlew. They had planned to return
to Portland on August 28.
V Mr. Merrick was an active and en
thusiastic worker for the betterment of

a moving spirit in the organUation of
the Civlo Improvement league, which
was succeeded by the Greater Portland
Plans association, and he was always
doing good."
"It Is the greatest loss Portland has
sustained in a long time," said Harvey
Beckwlth, ex-preeident of the Commer
cial club. "He was not only popular as
postmaster, but with the business men
In generel. Ho always counted for
something "
Began as Newspaper Man.
The great variety of experience that
enriched the personality of Mr. Merrick
accounted In large measure for his in
stant sympathy with all meritorious en.
terprises. - There hadn't been an idle
fwf--tTr-9H UJU-a. of J4tg. Hfl, ,y.aa
supposed to be taking a vacation at the
time of his death. In reality he had ar
ranged a Ions, hard automobile Journey
through Oregon, striving to increase the
influence nnd membership of the State
Retail Merchants' association.
Mr. Merrick was a newspaper man In
Cleveland and one of his first successes
was an Interview with Mark Hanna. He
went back to Detroit, where 'he was
bern, and was assoelnted with a large"
dry goods firm. Ho first came to the
coast as a traveling salesman. He mar
ried a Seattle girl and settled down, he-
coming in succession secretary of the
Retail Grocers' association, receiver of
tho land office and postmaster.
It Is said that no man in Portland
ever advanced as rapidly In public es
teem and confidence as Charley Mer
rick. This was because he was sincere.
He w-as really the organizer of the Ad
club. He was prominent in his member
Ship in the Rotary nnd Progressive Busi
ness Men's glub. He was active in the
Press club. No committee of the Com
mercial club that had real work to do
was Considered complete without him.
Veteran of Spanish War.
Mr. Merrick was secretary of the Civic
Improvement league, was the unanimous
choice for president of the Greater
Portland Plans association, an organiza
tion that is now the largest In the city,
with 4L'20 members. He was a leader In
the Improvement work of Rose City
Park, whore he made Ms home, and on
influential member of the Improvement
association of that district. He was a
member of the Spanish War veterans,
of the Royal Ro.sarians, of the Michigan
society.
In religion lie was a devout Catholic,
a sustaining member of the St. Rose
church, and one who was consulted in
every important plan having to do with,
the Catholic life of Portland. He w.as a
member of the Knights of Columbus, a
Catholic fraternal order.
Additions could be made to this list.
The Items serve to Indicate the effect
that the withdrawal of his Influence
and personality will have In the thou

the life pattern of Portland.

at a meeting last night decided that as
long as a single water main Is depended

bottle neck" which prevents a full flow,
also the big mains leading to Monta
vllla and the lower reaervolr-ftwMfh.
draw from the Peninsula main should
be removed, and a committee was ap
pointed to wait on the water board at
its next meeting and demand a copious
water supply.. --
It was related that the pressure Is
not sufficient to lift the water to the
second ,stories of buildings, that there
Is no fire protection and the menace
from fire is great. The cammlttee con

the plan, the committee consisting of

L. M. Lepper, of the East Side Busi
ness Men's club, addressed the meet
ing last night on the desirability of a
new common user franchise for East First
street, and the elub took the position
that no franchise should be granted any
where In the city without the common
user clause, also that franchises now
operative should be revoked if without
the common user clause.
A' committee was appointed to con
sider the advisability of widening the
district from which the new commer
cial club can draw its membership, the
consensus of opinion being that the
district should include all the region
north of Russell street, with Woodlawn,
Alberta and St. Johns.
The commercial club will hold a ban
quet in about four weeks, tho purpose
being to bring in other organizations
of the east side, and to arrange a pro
gram of speakers who will discuss the
Important issues of Portland. The next
meeting of the club will be held next
Tuesday evening, with the Overlook
club, on Shaver street,

Dentistry
Does Away Entirely With Plates and Bridgework
Dentistry at Hajf Price
(Until further notice.)
While our charges for Alveolar work
ire the same as the standard price of
jilgh-clas's bridgework, in such cases
where it is possible to have bridgework
knd the patient desires it for any rea
son, we will put in for him the very
best and classiest bridgework, crowns,
plates, etc., possible to be made, at
exactly one-half the price charged by
Sentlsts whose work Will compare fa
vorably with ours. "And there Is a
reason.
: (Terms for- this work will be cash.)
Briefly, fne Alveolar Method is this:
If you have two or more teeth left In
klther Jaw. we can supply all that you
iave lost with teeth as good, solid and
pound as the best set of natural teeth
iver grown in any human being's mouth,
tnd a whole lot more beautiful than
tature'S nest product, without resort
pg to -such makeshifts as partial plates
Ind the unsanitary bridgework. Alveolar
eeth are not only beautiful but they
re comfortable and durable. We guar
ntwthem " tp'-last a lifetime,-- where
k longevity of bridgework is seldom
ever longer than 5 or 6 years and gen
erally a irood deal lees. It Is never
guaranteed to last by any first class
dentist who Is responsible and reliable,
because all first class dentists will tell
you that bridgework at beHt is doubtful.
It Is a painful operation and gives
trouble from the time It is put in the
mouth until It has to be taken out. In
many cases where bridgework is impos
sible, and all cases where it is possible,
we can replace your missing teeth with
perfect Alveolar Teeth. The pain inci
dent to this work Is practically none;
the expense Is the same as the best
bridgework but in satisfaction there is
no comparison between the two.
We have samples In our offices to
show at all times hundreds of patients
here In our home city to refer to. Ex
aminations and booklets on Alveolar
dentistry are absolutely free.
Remember that In nddltlon to our
specialty. Alveolar Dentistry and cur
ing Pyorrhea (lqose teeth"), we are ex
