RICHEST ‘ARMY' BODY PONDERS BOOTHOUSTER Supreme Council Members Are Sworn to Secrecy on Proceedings. BY ARCH RODGERS United Press Staff Correspondent SUNBURY - ON - THAMES. England. Jan. 9.—The high council of the Salvation Army assembled today to devote the remainder of its time until final adjournment discussing the proposal of Commander Evangeline Booth that her brother be removed as the army’s highest officer. Shut from the world in the old ballroom of Sunbury court, the sixty-three men and women, who compose the highest legislative branch of the army, failed Tuesday to challenge General Bramw r ell Booth’s ability to lead them, according to an official announcement.

Sworn to Secrecy Instead, the high council sent a message of love and sympathy to General Bcoth, who is convalescing from a serious illness at his home in Southwcld, Suffolk. The only reports coming from the council are by official statements. All members were sworn to strictest secrecy, it was understood, and only members are allowed in the room* The official statement issued after Tuesday’s three sessions said Commissioner James Hay, of New Zealand, was elected president of the council and Lieutenant Commander William Haines, of international headquarters, vice-president. Committees also were chosen. Removal of General Booth is sought by his sister on the grounds of ill health. Wants Elective System Commander Booth also is known to be opposed to the present autocratic form of government, which plades all executive authority in her brother's hands and allows him the right to choose his successor. She desires an elective system. Supporters of General Booth claimed before the council met that he was sure to retain his post. A three-fourths vote of the council is required to remove the commander-in-chief, which means sixteen votes for General Booth will keep him in office.

Best Remedy for Obstinate Cough Made at Home

You'll never know how quickly a cough or chest cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It’s no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the _ money usually spent for cough medicine, and g>ves you a purer, better remedy. It never spoils, and tastes good—children like it. You can actually feel its penetrating. soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It also promptly loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and at same time, it is absorbed into the “blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in severe bronchial coughs and ‘.‘fin” coughs. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give premf i. relief or money refunded. —Advert’sement.

Witnesses will be summoned from California, the only state which already has not been covered in earli- : er hearings, McCulloch said, within ! the next two weeks. Refusal by the Electric Bond and Share Company, New York, to produce records demanded by the commission will not interfere, with continuation of the propaganda phase of the inquiry, McCulloch sail. After the propaganda end has been covered, the commission will resume its investigation into power corporation’s financial structure. Data gathered by commission ac- ! countants from books of power com- | panies and material compiled from answers to questionnaires filed with the commission will be placed in the record. Investigators of the commission indicated today, however, they do not expect any difficulty in obtaining whatever records are required from other large utility holding companies. ‘With the exception of the Electric Bond and Share, it was learned, no other power company has questioned the commission’s authority to demand records. |remy to_aid state Named Special Prosecutor in Phayer Case.
