PRAISES ADMIRAL SGHLEY
T. H. Tibbies Extols tho Virtues of
tho Old Soaman-Bays Contro
versy Was Duo to Social
Squabble.
"A man acceptable to God, but not
acceptable to some other pcoplo,"was
the opinion expressed of Admlrul
Schley at convocation yesterday by T.
H. Tibbies of Lincoln.
Mr. Tibbies asked permission to
state a few facts on naval atTalrs
winch had come to his knowledge
whilo in Washington. According to
his statement's common seamen are
looked upon by their officers as little
less than beasts.
A naval officer said to him, "thero
are men in the navy, honest In their
convictions, who think that If tho
American seaman were to bo recou
nted as a thinking beings, we should
havo a continual state or mutiny."
He then expressed lilmself aB holding
an opinion directly opposite. Mr.
Tibbies ventured to ask why he cMd
not make his convictions public. The
officer's reply was that if ho did so
promotion for him would be out of
the question.
In this connection the speaker ad
dtid that Admiral Schley has always
been a champion of the common sea
man's rights.
Mr. Tibbies explained that Admir
al Schley has always been a champion
of the common seaman's rights.
Mr Tibbies explained that Schley's
troubles had their origin in news
paper articles written by Mrs. Crow
inshleln which Mrs. Schley read with
very sarcastic remarks. Then came
a social controversy bewteen the two
families arid most Deople of Influence
were arrayed against the Schleys.
Since then the favor of the influent
ial has always been against tho ad
miral. Sampson was puf above him
when lie really outranked Sampson
by five points.
The admiral's character his ability
aud Indomitable energy were warmly
praised by Mr. Tibbies. Many of
Schloy'8 deeds during In his forty
years or brilliant service-'wero re
counted. It was" ho who led an expe
dition to the north in search of
Greeley and whon advised to turn
back exclaimed "We'll go ahead,
there's an American dying up there."
Then ho went ahead'and the remnant
of Greeloy'a party was saved.
Mr. Tibbies' closing words wore
very eloquent as ho doscrlbod Schley's
actions in the battle of Santiago
bow he commanded his men from a
platform at tiio bow of his ship and
how he ordered a man to be taken
bolow who had been killed near him
and whom tho men wi&hed to throw
overboard in order to got him out of
the way of their commander.
In Introducing Mr. Tibbies Chan
cellor Andrews verv1 aptly spoke of
the convocation period as tun
"American Review of Reviews."
