RELATED TO THE COMMODORE.
Several Members of the Schley
Family Here Are His Third Cous-

Several Members of the SchIey
Family Here Are His Third COus-
ms.
Commodore Schley, of the United States
Navy, who is making himself famous just
now by his work around Santiago de Cuba,
has many relatives in Savannah, in fact,
every member of the Schley family here
is distinctly related TO him.
Commodore Schley was born at Freder.
ick, Nd. and comes from the Maryland
family of Schleys, all of whom are related
to the Georgia family of that name In
fact Frederick, Md, was named in hon
or of a great uncle OF John Schley, who
was the father of Mr.. Julian Schley of
this city.
Mr.. Julian schley, DR.. C. c. schley son
of George Sehley, and John Sullivan
Schley. son of DIR. Montford Schley, are
all third cousins, once removed of Commo-
core Schley. In other words their faith
ers, who were brothers, were third cous-
ms of the commodore. Figuring it back
therefore, Il IS said, Commodore Schley
and Mr.. Julian Schley and his cousins
here had the same great great grandfath-
er.
The family came from two brothers who
came to this country from somewhere near
Frankfort, Germany, and settled in Mary
land. From that family came also the
Georgia family John Schley, the father
of Mr.. Julian Schley and his brothers,
were cousins of Gov. Schley of Georgia,
and during the war MIR. Julian Schley' s
family, In leaving their home at Beaulieu,
went to Richmond county and stayed at
the home of then ex-Gov Schley. Gov
Schley was also a third cousin of Com
modore 5chley.
Another first cousin of Mr.. John Schley
bearing the same distant relation to the
commodore, was William Schley, who be-
fore the war was for many years post
master in Savannah. He was known as
Lord Chesterfield Schlay on account of
his most elegant manners.
Few of the members of the Schley fam
lily in Savannah have met their distin-
guished cousin. Mrs. George Schley of Sa-
vannah met him some years ago in New
York just after his return from his Arc
tic expedition, where he went and brought
back the Greeley party. Commodore
Schley was at that time wearing colored
glasses on account of the effect Of North
ern conditions on his eyesight.

Manager WeiS and the Theater
booking ARRANGEMENTS

Manager Weis and the Theater
booking Arrangement.
Manager D. A. Weis of the Savannah
theater returned yesterday from New
York Referring to the report that the
Greenwall Theatrical Company, which
controls the Savannah theater along with
a number of other Southern properties Of
this class, had gone into the Klaw & Err
LANCER syndicate, Mr.. Weis said:
1--WE have not been absorbed by the
syndicate and have not surrendered our
independence. What has been done is to
unite the Greenwall Company and the
Klaw g. Erlanger syndicate in a mutual
booking arrangement. Under this ar
rangement the attractions sent South by
the trust as it is called will play at the
Greenwall chain of theaters. At the same
time the Greenwall company remains free
to book other attractions and Is not lin
tied to those sent on the road by the Klaw
& Erlanger people. There are advantages
in this to both companies. 1t will save
the Klaw & Erlanger attractions some
very long jumps, will increase the num-
Der of attractions for the Greenwall COM
panys theaters, and il Is expected will
give results that will be appreciated by
the public"
Mr. Wels stated that the Lyceum at At
lanta, which belongs to the Greenwall
companys circuit of theaters will not be
closed as has been reported. He says that
some thirty attractions have already been
booked for the South for the coming sea-
son, including a number of plays never
presented in this section before. Last sea-
son was not very renumerative one in
the South, but better business is hoped
for next winter.
One effect Of this semi-amalgamation
with the Klaw & Erlanger trust. Mr.. Weis
said, will doubtless be the suppression of
the 10, 20 and 80 cents shows which have
become quite a feature of the theatrical
husinees In the mast truo or three ,laara
