Contemplates No Further Action.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE Erening star

Secretary Long was asked by a star re-
porter as to the newspaper stories that the
Navy Departmen is taking part in the Schlsy-
Sampson controversy and intends to take
action rejecting on Admiral Schey.
There Is no truth in such charges the
Secretary said We took cognizance OF the
cases OF Lieuts Hodgson and Heilner because
the veracity OF an offlcer was involved We do
this often. Just the same as We take cognizanco
OF charges that an officer has failed to pay
his honest debts. The matter was referred
to Capt Chadwick to take testimony because
he is in command Of the station on which
these officers are serving. Had the officers
named been summoned to Washington there
would undoubtedly have been misre presenta-
tons and false charges. For that reason c apt
Chadwick was instructed to take testimony
the case taking identically the same course as
many others before it,.
Secretary Long said that the department
contemplated no further action. but II a court
of inquiry should be asked for by an officer it
would probably be granted"
