II is stated by the club members that
Admiral Dewey resigned because he
found that the Schley court of inquiry
took so much of his time that he was
unable TO keep fully abreast of his club
affairs. The true inwardness of the case,
however, seems to be that he resigned
on account of criticisms made against
him by his fellow clubmen who alleged
that his rulings in the Schley court were
too favorable to Schley. There appears
to be a strong sentiment against Schley
in the club. Admiral Dewey has not left
the club, but simply resigned the presi-
