Tho Schley court of Inquiry today en
tered upon the third straight week of In
vestigation. It had been expected that
tho Navy department would bo ablo to com
plcto Its presentation of the caso by tho
clcso of last week, but when tho court
opened today Captain Lemly's list of wit
nesses still contained almost a dozen
names.
Tho day's proceedings began with tho
recall of Lieutenant Derllos and Commander
Hodgura for tho purpOBo of correcting their
provlous testimony and when they had
been oxcuscd Lrtcutenant Commander Hodg
son, navigator of Ilrooklyn during tho
Santiago campaign, resumed tho stand.
Mr. nayncr began hU cross-examination
by asking Mr. Hodgson whether Marblehend
had hailed Brooklyn when tho two vessels
passed each other as Ilrooklyir" was on
Its way to CIcnfuegos, Tho wltnoss re
plied In tho negntlvo. Tho examination
then turned upon events about CIcnfuegos
and In reply to Mr. Rayner'tf Inquiry Mr.
Hodgson detailed theso nt length.
See I.IkIiI on .Shore.
Commander Hodgson uald, In reply to
these questions, that ho had seen the lights
on thes horo at Clenfuegos, which wore
afterward determined to bo signals, but
he had supposed they wcro signals between
different branches of tho Spanish forces on
shore. He ndded that when Captain Mc
Calla nrrlved with Information ns to tho
meaning of tho signals ho was Immediately

Mr. Unyner then asked: "How far woro
you off, during this blockado of Santiago,
from Morro during the days and nights of
May 28, 20. SO and 31?"
In rerponso tho witness said: "Early In
tho daytlmo our habitual position was six

Ho atnted that tho plckot boats, Marble

Tho witness then In responso to a requost
from Mr. Itaynor continued his description
of tho naval battlo of July 3, from tho point
whero ho had dropped that description at
Captain Lemly's request, while ho was -on
tho stand Friday.
In this connection ho said: "Brooklyn

French Flnnncls used to nil come from

are domestic French flannels and imported

'Why?' I said we wcro all nlonc with
tho three Spanish vessels nnd It seemed
thnt It depended upon uo to knock them

I could not sec anything nnd I supposed
that New York being away Brooklyn was
steaming nhoad of the slower vessels. Ho
stepped out of tho conning tower and ex
claimed to me, 'What's that oft our star

said, 'That must bo Massachusetts. Ho
said, 'No, It could not bo Massachusetts.
It has gono to Ouantannmc,' I said. 'It
must bo Oregon," nnd ho remnrked. 'Ood

glad to seo It.' Oregon wns at that tlmo

I remember nt one ttmo telling Commo
doro Schley that it was vltUn about 3,000
yards and my recollection Is ho told somo
ono to signal Oregon t trv on of Its "rail
rond trains." At nny rntu, shortly nfter

Previously to this It had ported its holm

ceasod firing nnd slowed down, and orders
wero given to get out n boat. Tho. captain

with or tell the torms to tho commanding
oillcer of Colon." '
"How far waa Oregon from Brooklyn?"
"From 1,000 to 1,000 yards, on tho star
board quarter."
Tho witness, In reply to questions, con
tlnucd his report of tho battle. Ho snld
thnt nt tho beginning of tho fight ho ha
given tho rnngo nt 1,100 yards, but thnt
after tho loop It was 2,400 or 2,r00 yards.
Mr. Hayner: "What was tho bearing c
Coramodoro Schley during this ongngemen
or any engagement In which you saw him?'
HrnrliiK ( Sehlej- In llnttle.
"His bearing nnd manner, with respect to
an ofllcer of his rank and statlou In tha
naval service, wore naturally those of a
commandor-ln-cbiet of a naval forco on
that occasion,"
Tho witness said that the commodoro had
occupied a place on a platform around tho
conning tower during tho engagement,
This, he snld, was a position of danger, na
tho commodoro wns there always in full
view of tho enemy's ships.
"It hns been stated hero," said Mr. Hay
ncr, "that Brooklyn ran 2,000 yards away
from tho onemy's ships In making its loop
Tho witness replied: "Any .witness who
mado that statement, although hp may bav
stated whtit,ho thought occurred, was nb
soiutely mistaken.
"How far did It go from the enomy's veB
sels?"
"It must hava gone COO yards to th
southward, as that Is tho tactical dtamotoi'
of Brooklyn at that, speed."
"Did this turn lntorfcro with Brooklyn'
ability to keep up its fire?"
"It did not; it continued to flro from its
aft turret."
Deiilrn Accuracy nt UlnlnKtir.
Continuing, ho paid that tho dlaloguo n
roportcd was fictitious, nnd that ho had
denied Its verbal accuracy, whllo not deny
ing tho truth of a part of It. Ho said
that ho had told Admiral Schley that he
could not ropudlnto tho entire statement
and that ho had not understood him to re
quest that ho should do moro than deny
Ita verbal accuracy. Ho already had, bo
foro writing hlsr explicit denial, told th
admiral that ho could not deny tho whole
story. Ho had given, tha nowepaper repro
sentattvo authority originally to quoto htm
as authority for tho gist of the statement,
"Did you ever kro Indiana during tho en
gagemcnt?"
"I did not. The smoke won very dens
In tho direction of Indiana."
At this point, Mr. .Hayner questioned th
witness at length concerning tils reports
colloquy with Admiral Scblov during the
battle Off' Ba'ntligo,"ln' which" the commo
ore was reported to have ?ald. "Damn
tho Texas."
elite;' Ulvci Co in inn ml to I'ort Helm,
Mr. nayncr nsked the witness If It was
not Captain Cook who had given the order
to "I'ort helm." Tho reply was that Cap-
tain Cook might have given the order to the
man at tho wheel. Mr. Hayner then nsked;
Did Commodore Schley glvo the order to
port the helm?"
"Ho did," wns tho reply.
"Was tho helm already a-port?"
"I guess so; C-jptnln Cool, says so,"
Objection vas mndo by Captain Lemly
to tho uso of tho word "Ouess" oy the
witness, but Admiral Dewey snld the form
of expression waa Immaterial, and asked
that counsel chould not Interrupt.
Continuing his statement, In refponso to
Mr. Itayner's question, witness said that
when his conversation with Commodoro
Schley had occurred on Brooklyn, the com
modoro was standing on tho platform
around tho conning tower and two or throe
feet from himself (ho the witness) and that
Captain Cook, n pnrt of tho tlmo, stood in
tho door of tho conning tower four or flvo
feet distant.
Ho snld thnt Captain Cook had taken
part In the conversation.
Mr. Hayner then questioned tho wltucis
very closely In regard to tho langungo in
which this colloquy was given to tho
papors and tho language used by Mr.
Hodgson In his correspondence with Ad
miral Schloy. Ho read the newspaper ver
sion of Commander Hodgson's statement of
tho colloquy ns follows:
"Schley 'Hard aport.' "
.Vriir HnotiKli to Duns,
"Hodgson 'You mean starboard.' "
"Schley 'No, I don't. Wo are near
enough to them (tho Spaniards.) already.' "
"Hodgson 'But wo will cut down tho
Texas.' "
Schloy 'Dn Texas; let It look out for
Itself.' "
Mr. Hayner then had tho witness ex
amine the letter which ho had written to
Admiral Schley Juno 8, nnd drew from him
tho statement that ho had not then In
formed tho admiral that ho had .used tho
expression "Dn Texas." When tho
witness was nsked If ho thought that thcro
wns nny suggestion of such nn expression,
ho replied; "When I miggeBted to Commo
doro Schley that thoro was danger of col
liding with TcxaB ho said, 'Dn Texas.'
Ho used the expression ns not in any wny
condemning Texas for being thcro, but ns
it bo wero irritated as ono might be about
anything,"
Mr. Hayner asked then about the oxprr.s
slon attributed to tho witness, "It will
cut down Texas." Commander Hodgson
replied that thcro was no such expression
In tho letter nnd that ho never had said
that Brooklyn would cut down Texas,
"There Is n good deal In that reported col
loquy that I did not say," ho ndded. "Tho
statement was never mndo," ho went on,
"but tho commodore did say 'Dn Texas.' "
Tho court at this point adjourned for
luncheon.
SAMPSON NOT RESPONSIBLE

Jllnclny'a Illatorj-.
NEW YOHK, Oct. 7. Colonel Robert M.
Thompson of this city, president of tho
United States Nnval Academy Alumni as
soclatlon, makes the following statement to
the Associated Press In connection with the
Schley inquiry:
"Thoro Is one story which I am very
anxious should bo truthfully presented to
tho public. After Maclay's book was pub
lished Mnclny stated that the proof had
been submitted to the commanding otneers
Including Admiral Sampson, nnd that they
approved his statements. A reporter call
Ing upon Admiral Sampson when ho was
111 In his bed, obtained from tho ndmlrnl
what appeared to bo a confirmation of this
statement. The admiral was asked if ho
had seen nnd rend tho proof it Maclay's
book nnd ho said, "Toy" ".it unfortunntoly
ho was too 111 to go into tho matter nt
any length and oxplnlu anything, and so
tho public wns bo informed nnd today be
Hove that Admiral Sampson entirely ap
proved tho statement thnt Schley wns n
cownrd and n caitiff, which was tho gist
of Maclay's chargo against Schley.
"I am In n position to stato the true facts
and you may nbsolutely rely upon them as
the truth. Tho proofs were sent by Mr
Maelny to Admiral Sampson, with tho re
quest that they should be rend and cor
rected. Tho admiral nt tho time was not
In good health and did not wish to under
toko tho labor, but his secretary pointed
out thnt tho Maclay history was a standard
one and used nt tho naval academy ns a
text book. This volume brought tho history
dowu through tho period of tho Spanish war
and It wns desirable that theru should bo
no Inaccuracies In It.
Stitteiiicnt Aner finmptMiii.
"Tho admiral therefore consented to rend
thorn and he did correct a certain part of
them, but ns soon ns ho arrived at tho
pnrt which contained tho statement that
Schley wns a coward and a caitiff ho was
very much angered and snld tho Btatoment
wns ono tho nuthor had no right to make
that it wns unjust and unfnlr to speak of
any naval olllcor In such terms and declined
to have nn thing further to do with tho
proofs. Ills secretary, Impressed with the
grent desirability of having the statements
of fncts accuralo and not believing that ho
was In nny way rcsponslblo for tha stato-.
ments of opinions, did, on his own ac
count, comparo tho book with tho records
and mako on tho margins a number of cor
rcctlons. As theso wcro in tho 3amo hand
writing bb those made when Admiral Samp
son was giving his personal attention to
tho corrections, Mr. Maclay waa perfectly
Justified In his statement. Tho order o
tho secretary of tho navy forbidding naval
olllcors to make nny statements for publlca
tlon regarding this controversy Issued Im
meOintely nfter this Interview prevented
tho nbovo correction being officially mndo
"There Is ono other mntter that has been
brought up, In which accusations of care

"In tho first half hour of tho fight, whll
the smoke of the battlo obscured all land

thoro could bo only, an thoro was, a gen

NEBRASKA WOMAN'S CLUBS
Annual Oonreitien of Ftdtr&tiaa Bigins nt

CHANGES PROPOSED IN CONSTITUTION
.llntter of InereniliiK Dues mill Klee't-
liiH Aililltlnnnl Vice President to

StiKRcMrd.
Several important changes in tho con
stitution of tho Nebraska Federation of
Woman's Clubs will bo considered at tho
annual convention of tho federation, which
begins at Wnyno today.
At present tho duen from each club hav
ing a membership of less than fifty are $2.
An additional dollar Is charged for each
additional fifty members, or fraction there
of. It Is likely that tho dues will bo In
creased to $3 for each club of less than
fifty and that nn additional $1 will bo
charged for each additional fifty members.
Even if this Incrcaso In tho dues carries
tho income will bo Inndequnto for the con
duct of tho stato work. Hnthcr than Im
pose nn additional per capita tax of 10
cents, thus nntagonlrlng tho largo clubs, It
Is likely that tho federation will seek to
Incrcaso tho funds by club extension.
Theso changes will mako necessary a com-
plcto revision of tho constitution.
But ono vlco president Is provided for
in tho present constitution and It Is likely
thnt a vice president will hereafter bo
elected for each congressional district.
This will bo dnno In tho hopo of promoting
district federations. Theso vlco presidents,
together with other officers, will consti
tute an executlvo board.
Section 6 of the present constitution pro
vides for nn annual meeting and makes nn
annual program necessary. Theso pro
grams are a great expense and It is likely
thnt biennial mocttrfgs and programs will
bo Inaugurated. It is pro)-iblo that hcre-
nfter officers will not bo u'glblo to suc
cessive ro-clectton and thnt ono person
will not bo allowed to hold moro than one
office.
Two now sections will bo proposed for
addition to article vll concerning dues.
All clubs will bo required to pay dues tor
the ensuing yenr bofoi'o they aro entitled
to representation in nn annual convention
nnd clubs will bo restored to membership
upon tho payment of all arrears.
An attempt will bo mado to amend sec
tion 10 of tha constitution in such n man
ner that tho constitution may bo amended
nt nny stato meeting by n two-thirds vote
of delegates present. Under tho present
constitution It requires two years to put
an amendment Into effect, but this proposed
change will mako it possible to ovcrcomo
thlfl delay.
Several changes in the by-laws have also
been suggested.
