OPPOSITION TO
CAPTAIN CROZIER.
NAY SUCCEED GEN. BURLINGTON.
Army Officers Object to Junior BEING
Jumped Over Their Heads-An
Appeal Made to Secrc
tHry Root.

There is much speculation among War
Department officials as to the probable
successor to Cen A. r Burlington. Chief
of the Bureau of Ordnance, who Will re-
tire from the army Friday. Some months
ago the President and Secretary Root
agreed to name Capt William Crozier, OF
the Ordnance Bureau. to succeed General
Burlington. This determination became
known prematurely. and resulted in strong
efforts by other officers of the bureau to
defeat Captain Crozier's appointment.
The officers heading the opposition were
particularly chagrined that captain
should be selected for the office. thus
jumping over the heads Of majors. lieu
tenant coIonels. and colonels, who had
devoted their lives to the service, and
who would by operation of law, retire
before Captain Crozier. These officers
remembered that the Secretary or War had
already announced his intention of pro-
noting young officers irrespective of rank
and had carried this principle out in the
appointment of Capt. Franklin Bell to be
a bTigadier general.
1t was therefore with little hope of de-
featlng Captain Crozler's candidacy that
they appealed to Secretary Root. Lieut.
Col. James W Reilly was one OF the ac-
tive opponents against the selection OF
Captain Crozier. He personally explained
to Secretary Root that such a selection
would work great hardship upon him. He
showed that he had been in the military
service since 1859. when he entered West
Point; that he had served with honor in
the civil war. had been brevetted for gal
liant conduct in 1865 and after serving
for about fourteen years as major, only
reached the rank of lieutenant colonel in
1893

ALLOWED TIME EXTENSION.
Plumbers Delayed in Completing
Contract by Steel strike.

One OF the far-reaching effects Of the
steel strike last summer is seen in the
inability OF the plumbers. James Nolan
& Sons. to complete their contract for
repairs and changes in the plumbing OF
the Addison and Curtis School buildings.
The contractors have Just written the
Commissioners requesting an extension
of time owing to the fact that they
( cannot yet obtain certain supplies needed
in the work. They say that. owing to the
accumulation OF orders at the steel mills.

Acting upon the recommendation Of the
Inspector of Plumbing, the Commission

THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE IN TYPE.

Cabinet Suggests Minor Changes
Document Notable for Absence
of Specific RECON-
memdatiOnS.

President Roosevelt's message to Con
gress has been set up in type at the Gov
ernment Printing Office. and the Presi-
dent has proofs of the printed copy prac-
tically as it Will appear on the day when
it is sent to the Capitol to be read be
fore the two houses of Congress. 1t is
expected that only slight alterations will
be made in the document.
Several minor changes were suggested
at the meeting of the Cabinet. and these
will be sent to the Public Printer as cor
rections of the proof now in the Presi-
dents hand. Pres dent Roosevelt read
the most important parts Of the message
to the Cabinet members yesterday. and
he would have read the whole had the
two hours Of the meeting sufficed for this
purpose

Longest of All Messages.

The message. as it stands now, is Longer
by several thousand words than any Pres
idential message heretofore submitted tC
Congress. Many OF the subjects in the
paper are discussed in great detail. Prin-
ciples and policies are enuncia,ed clearly
but there is a notable absence of specific
recommendations for radical Legislation
on any subject.
The President indicates rather the
needs of the Government. and in a dis
coursive, sometimes in an argumentative
way. suggests the kind of legislation he
believes to be needed. The changes sug-
gested by members of the Cabinet yester-
cay were not important in character. and
referred in each case to matters OF ad-
ministration in one or another OF he eX-
ecutive departments.
Although many people have talked to
the President on the subsidy question, it
is doubtful if the word subsidy will be
used in the message. Attention will be
called to the need for more ships to car
~ goods Of American manufacture and
the wisdom OF stimulating the growth of
the merchant marine, but the subsidy
ideas viii probably not be suggested.
May BE Submitted Typewriter.
For the first time the message which a
President sends to Congress may go to
the Capitol in typewritten form instead
of the script in which it is usually sent.
Since Major Pruden has been attached to
the force at the Executive Office he has
had the distinction of copying the Presi-
dents message in long hand. His pen
manship is most excellent. almost copper
plate. Last year there was barely time TO
copy the message in long hand after Pres
ident Mckinley had completed 1t. Major
Pruden worked all night the day before
Congress convened.
The Cabinet officers are not inclined
TO talk specifically about the character of
the message. But President Roosevelt has
talked to so many people about it and has
asked so many persons for their opinions
that more is probably known regarding
its text than is generally the case with
the important document which has been
sent to the Capitol ever since Thomas
jefferson ceased to tie his horse outside
that building and walk in and tell the
Senators and Representatives what be
wanted done.
