HE CLAIMS CHILDREN

 INGRAM.
Explains to satisfaetion of Court His Absence From Montgomery and Salvation Army Gives Up
 t Guardianship.

J. S. Neil, the father of the four children taken under the care of the Salvation Army on the solicitation of Captain Odom and the family in whose care the children had been left. re- turned to Montgomery yesterday and demanded that his children be given again intp his custody
 Captain Odorn bad already instituted 'proceedings ff the chancery division of the civil court for the appointment of a guardian for the children and denied Neifs right to his children until he had showed the court his right and power to take care of them as father should.
 An informal hearing was therefore held before Judge A. D. 'Sayre of the scotFrtS s4aHeiSs tff explanation given by Neii of his absence in Birmingham be- ing satisfactory to both the court and to Captain -Odom, the children were returned to the custody of their fath- CT.
 Neil seemingly deserted his children some weeks ago, and the family with whom he had left them unable to furnish proper support appealed to the Salvation Army. All efforts to get in- to communication with the father were in vain, and the Salvation Army sought ito have proper guardians appointed for the children. Neil satisfactorily explained his absence from the city yesterday and declared that he was ready to give his children the care and love due from father. The order e9S the court was therefore so given.
