WANTS TEXT BOOK EXCLUDED.
Representative Schirm Opposed to
Mnclay,s Treatment of Schley.

The Sampson-Schley controversy mas been
revived by proposition to prohibit the use
of Volume III of Maclay's History of the
Navy" as text book at the United States
Naval Academy unless certain derogatory
statements made in regard to Admiral
Schleys conduct before and during the bat
tie of Santiago are modified or expunged.
The latest phase of the controversy is ex-
planned in a statement made by Repre-
sentative c. r. Schirm Of Maryland, who
had an interview with Secretary Long on
the subject yesterday. Representative
Schirm contends that Maclays account OF
the battle of Santiago is prejudiced and un-
fair to Admiral Schley, and he has an
nounced his intention of introducing into
Congress a resolution to forbid the use Of
Maclays history at the Naval Academy
until an investigation of certain statements
contained therein. especially concerning the
conduct of Rear Admiral Schley, Is made
duce a resolution providing for congress
sional investigation of the West Indian
naval campaign of 1898
Il wanted It distinctly understood. said
Mr.. Schirrn in his statement, that my
resolution is not inspired in any spirit OF
yindictiveness against Rear Admiral Samp-
SON. / simply want Congress to get at the
bottom Of the facts In the West Indian
naval campaign. The laws governing the
naval service are made by Congress. The
Naval Academy. in which Maclays history
is used as standard, is also under the
control of Congress.
IF the charges which Maclay makes
against Schley are true-charges In which
the epithets coward, liar and 'caftin' are
used-then the Navy Department has been
derelict In executing the laws made by Con-
gress. and no excuse can justify the Navy
Department for failure to court-martial
Schley. Such an investigation would estab-
lish beyond question whether the many
shafts hurled at Admiral Schley have been
earnod.
The resolution will forbid the further
never consent to our young naval cadets
being taught that they can be towards
and liars and disobey orders and be i'm
mune from punishment. The influence of
such an example upon future generations
would be most pernicious'
