LEMLEY CHOSEN.
Accepts appointment as Judge
Advocate of SchIey Court.

Washington. July 2e. = Secretary
Long today formally announced that
he had selected Captain Sam c. Lemley,
the law officer of the navy department
to be judge advocate of the Schley
court of inquiry.
Captain Lemley has accepted the de-
tail. Up to noon today Secretary Long
had not heard from Rear Admiral
Kimberly, who is reported to have sent
a letter to him explaining that the state
of his health would hardly permit him
to act as member of the court. Hope
is still expressed at the navy depart
ment that the indisposition from which
the admiral is reported to be suffering
will be only temporary and that he
will be able to serve. The precept to
the court, which was prepared by Cap
tain Lemley as the judge advocate gen
eral Of the department has been COM
p1eted and has gone to the public
printer. It is hardly expected that it
will be returned in time to be given
out for the afternoon papers today.
