CAPTAIN CROZLER'S CASE.
SIGNS THAT OPPOSITION TO CONFIRMA-
TON IS WEAKENING.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington. April 12.-The opposition in the
Senate Military Affairs Committee to the con-
frmation of Captain William Crozier chief Of
ordnance seems to be less determined than it
was when the committee made adverse re-
port On his nomination week ago. While it is
not yet certain that his appointment can be con-
firn1ed without a hard fight. still there are agns
that his opponents are relenting, and that some
of those who at first were strongest in their
hostility are now willing that the administration
shall have its own way in the important matter
of appointing bureau chiefs in the War Depart
ment under the Root plan OF four years tenure.
AS has been pointed out in these dispatches, the
opposition to Captain CroZier for chief of the
Ordnance Bureau. with the rank of brigadier
general never based on any doubt of his
fitness for the place in any particular. and is
reported TO have enanated from a source that
has special interest in preventing his confrma-
ton. technical objection urged against him
was that his promotion the heads of officers
Of higher rank and longer service in the ord
nance corps was violation of the letter of the
Army Reorganization law. but this has been
shown to be not we'll founded. since Secretary
Root, the real author of the law also selected
Captain Crozier for chief of the corps because
of the captains acknowledged superior qualtfi-
cations for the office
It is thought that effort to confirm him
will be made by the supporters of the admin
istration in the executive session of the Senate
next Wednesday, and now that some Of the
most influential Senators have declared their
purpose TO ignore the action Of the Military At
fairs Comrnittee-an unusual occurrence, the
Senate generally accepts the recommendations
OF its committees final-the hope is growing
stronger that Captain Croziers appointment will
be confirmed. Senator Warren, OF Wyoming. the
only Of the committee who absent
when the adverse report adopted, and one
OF the two members who enthusiastically
favored his confirmation, has returned to the
city. and is making close study of the parlia-
mentary situation with view 10 determining
the safest course to pursue in the fight for con-
frmatiOn over the opposition of the Military
Affairs Committee Mr.. Warren declines to dis
cuss the case at present, for obvious reasons,
but he expresses hope of securing fayora bic
action the nomination before the close of the
session. In the mean time some members OF the
committee suggesting the ACCESSIBILITY OF
the Presidents Withdrawing the nomination, IN
order TO avoid further embarrassment to the
administration, but il is not thought proba bic
that the President will pay any heed TO these
suggestions

HAMMoNDs FIGHT FOR SON.
Troubles Of Former ottumwa People
Are Again Aired in Court.

Are Again Aired in Court.
Jesse Hammond. former Ottumwa
man, who is well known in this city.
and his divorced wife, Mrs. Mary A.
Hammond, are having preliminary en-
gagements in court over the possession
of their son Ralph Hammond, a bow
IL years of age. Last evenin a Des
Moines newspaper printed the follow
ing story concerning the trouble:
The Jesse Hammond imbroglio bob
bed up in district court again today,
when Mrs. Mary A. Hammond filed
her answer to the claim of Jesse Ham.
mond that she had spirited their 49,
year-old child out of the state and was
keeping him beyond the jurisdiction
Of the court. This is the claim made by
Mr.. Hammond when he filed an appli-
cation recently to have the divorce
case reopened and the decree granted
last December set aside on the ground
| that his former wife was not a fit per-
son to have the custody of the child
In her answer filed today by Read &
Read Mrs. Hammond states that their
minor child, Ralph Hammond, is now
at school at Atchison, Kas. in the care
and custody Of her mother, Mrs. s. J..
| Patterson. She states that when the
child was given to her by the divorce
decree and she proposed sending it
outside of the state to the Kansas
school that she went to Judge c. A.
Bishop, who was then on the bench,
and informed him of her plans, and
that Judge Bishop offered no objec-
tons.
Mrs. Hammond continues by stating
that she is now ready and willing to
bring Ralph back to Des Moines and
this courts jurisdiction and that his
school closes June 10; that she never
intended keeping him away all the
time, but always intended keeping him
here with her.
| She continues by stating that on
May 81 she appeared in court, by her
| counsel, Read & Read, and agreed
with Judge w. H. McHenry to bring
Ralph back to Des Moines at once and
with this understanding Judge Nc
Henry telegraphed to Jesse Hammond
as follows
LET Mrs. Patterson bring Ralph
back to Des Moines. Parties have
agreed to bring him at once. Don't in
terfere.-W. H. McHenry, Judge"
| With this understanding Mrs. Ham
mond says she will have Ralph in Des
Moines this week, despite the trouble
which Hammond threatens to make at
Atchison, Kas. She then asks that
the order made by Judge McHenry
while it was not revoked by reason OF
the agreement, that it is understood
that the orders are not to be enforced,
and in order to cause no confusion she
asks an order directing that she re-
turn Ralph to Des Moines, and that
the former orders be rescinded. Mrs.
Hammond also fled today a motion to
strike from the files Hammond's ap.
plieation to reopen the case and asks
that his claims be substantiated by
dispositions filed at once, as her char
acter is assailed thereby, and she
needs to know the nature of his con
templated testimony.

BEST CONSTRUCTION
Ottumwa Telephone Co.'s Equip
mont Exceptionally Good.
HERR CONSTRUCTION CO.PUTTINGITIN
Equipment and Construction of Plant
Not Surpassed-Everything Put in
by Practical and Expert Workmen--
Construction Good for Fifty Years.

One Of Cttumwas improvements
which is, now in process of construc-
ton IS the elaborate and practical sys-
tenn of the Ottumwa Telephone Co.
This company is putting in telephone
construction which, it is said, for dur
ability, possibilities of service, and
completeness in every detail, is unsur-
passed.
The Herr Construction Co. has en-
tire charge of the construction of this
system. The work of the company is
attracting much attention from the
telephone companies of the state. 1t
is an underground system. Over 30
600 feet of underground conduit are
being constructed.
| Over two car loads of lead covered
copper wire cable will be used in the
construction of the line in this city.
This is the most durable and best CON
struction known to the telephone bust
ness.
DR.. Herr, the president of the Herr
Construction Co., is very energetic
man, and is thoroughly conversant
with this work. He is personally SUI
perintending the construction of the
Ottumwa plant, and he says, that
| when completed Ottumwa will have
the best system in the state and as
| good as there is in the United States.
He says that the construction of this
plant will last for fifty years. Where
| 1t has been necessary to use poles.
| they are of the best both as to size and
| material. The different leads will all
| be replaced with newest and best ma
tpri91 n, a.
and practical manner. 1t will involve
an actual cash outlay of more than
$65,000. No detail to make the plant
and system perfect will be overlooked.
1t Is but reasonable to assume that
IN expendlng this amount, the COM
pany does SO as an investment. and
therefore wants the system construct
ed SO that it will give the best service
for the maximum length of time. In
the whole construction of the plant,
and in the material used, this idea has
been carried out to the fullest extent.
This company believes that one of
the greatest factors in the growth of
city Is it's telephone system. 1t
saves time, money and correspond
ence. 1t increases the business of the
community in which it is located It's
usefulness depends to a great extent
on its construction. 1t must be of the
| best and the Herr Construction Co.
states that Ottumwans will have every
reason to feel proud of the Ottumwa
Telephone Co.
The new building on Second street
is nearing completion and in a short
time the work of installing the new
switchboard will be begun. There is
now in the warehouses in this city
much of the material for this inside
work.

comes in reply to the papers filed by
her former husband last week. On
Decoration Day, Mr.. Hammond APP
peared in court, claiming that Mrs.
Hammond had spirited their boy out
of the state and the authorities at the
Kansas school refused to surrender
the boy, despite the courts orders,
without the consent of the mother.
Hammond therefore secured from
Judge McHenry an order telling Mrs.
Hammond to instruct the school au-
thorities to surrender Ralph to Jesse
Hammond, who was to return him at
once to the district court here 1t Is
to set aside this order and give the
boy back to the mother that Mrs. Ham
monG's papers were filed today.
