ALLEGES CRUELTY

Charge Says She Was
Faithless
Mining Man Gets Divorce in
Utah While Suit Pends
Against Him Here

A bitterly contested divorce suit in
which Anne Rottanzi was the plaintiff
and Ettore j. Rottanzi. policeman,
brother of ex-Supervisor Rottanzi, was
the defendant, was tried before Judge
Hunt yesterday. Mrs. Rottanzi tes-
titled that her husband had treated her
cruelty, beating her and striking her
in the face with pistol The hus-
band on his part charged infidelity and
called three private detectives to sup
port his allegation OF misconduct with
saloonman named Bert Spaulding.
Judge Hunt took the case under sub
mission and awarded the custody of
the child. Alice, s years old, TO the
mother.
Severe comment was made in Judge
Graham's court yesterday by Attorney
Theodore Roche on the action of Frank
j. Boyd, a mining man, who while his
wife's suit for separate maintenance
was pending here went to Salt Lake
city and secured a divorce from her
on the ground of infidelity and habitual
intemperance. This man got this de-
cree surreptitiousIy and I want your
honor to continue the case, so that
can ascertain IL it is not possible for
your honor TO make representations to
the Salt Lake judge that will cause the
decree to be set aside. Boyd deserted
his wife and is not entitled to a di-
vorce.' Some weeks ago Judge Graham
made an order allowing Mrs. Boyd $40
a month alimony, dating back to Au-
gust, 1906, when her complaint was
flied, but on the request of Boyd's at
torney the collection of the money was
held In abeyance. Meanwhile Boyd got
the Salt Lake decree Judge Graham
continued the case to give Roche an
opportunity TO take what action he
might desire.

Germany Is Sent to the
Senate
Present Ambassador Will Step
Down Into Private Life
by June |

WASHINGTON. March 31--President
Roosevelt sent to the senate today the
nomination of DR.. David Jayne Hill to-
be American ambassador at Berlin,
Germany. The resignation of Charlie
magne Tower has been accepted, to
take effect June L, when DR.. Hill will
assume his new duties. This statement
made at the White House today, is said
to be taken as a happy ending Of the
Hill incident.
The attitude of the American admin
istration is that Dr.. Hills emInence as
statesman, scholar and diplomat has
not suffered the slightest impairment in
view of the disclaimer of the German
emperor of any adverse expression re-
garding him and the hearty recognition
of DR.. Hills personality and standing
contained in the statement of President
Roosevelt issued from the White House

HILL HARBORS NO GRUDGE
Friends Say He Will Accept Po-

PARIS. March 31-The friends of
David Jayne Hill in Paris, while great
" deploring what has occurred, express
the utmost satisfaction over the Wash
ington dispatches indicating that the
incident is closed so far as DR.. Hill is
concerned. While DR.. Hill himself still
declines to talk on the subject, there is
no reason TO believe that he intends to
harbor personal umbrage and decline
to go to Berlin On the contrary, there
seems to be no doubt that he will abide
by the decision OF the administration
as throughout the inci1ent. with abse-
lutte confidence in the justice of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root, he
has looked to them to determine wnst
course should be pursued.
