OPINIONS UPON
SCHLEY VERDICT
HOar is Content With Dewey's View-Hale
Against Further Investigation Rawlins
FavOrs Resolution OF Confidence.

ton was desired by the friends of Adj
mral Schley.
Senator Rawllns thought resolution
Of confidence would be in order and
Senator Jones of Arkansas thought II
most probable that resolu.
ton bearing upon the question as
among the probabilities.
Representative Pierre of Maryland
who represents the Mar. land district
from which Admlar Schley came
stated today that he would INTRODUCES
a resolution for congressional investl-
cation Of The entire Simpsons chley
affair unless his colleague from Mary
land Mr.. Schrim, who had contem-
plated introducing such a resolution
carried out this action, Mr. Pierre
says he has not formulated the details
Of the proposed congressional Inquiry
but he thinks It would be desirable 70
have II conducted by special committee
rather than by one Of the regular com
mttees of the House.
Chairman Foss Of the House nava
committee, declined to express an opin'
Jon as 90 whether Congress would deal
with the Schioy case. He says he has
been careful to avoid taking sides on
the subject as II might come before the
committee and he wishes to preserve
q wholly impartial attitude, Among
MrFoss' associates Is II the general un.
Outstanding that the chairman Is moi
favorable to congressional action,
Chairman Payne, the majority llool
leader, when asked If a congressional
investigation was likely to be hely
said:
why should Congress go into the
subject? Admiral Schley has had his
day in court and / doubt whether il
would be advisable for Congress to &c
over the ground already covered by
the court"
Representative Meyer Of Louisiana, a
member of the naval committee and
an authority of naval affairs, said:
II do not think there should be a
congressional investigation. The YER
dict of the American people finds lis
best expressions in the findings OF Ad'
miral Dewey
Representative Chester Long of Kan
sas said
III Congress could develop lnformn-
ton which the court had failed to de-
velop It might be well for Congress to
investigate but Congress could do no
more than go over what the court has
gone"
Representative Hay Of Virginia, chair
man of the House Democratic caucus
committee:
~ think my Democratic associates
would be glad to support a resolution
for congressional investigation, which
would go 10 the bottom OF the Schley
case. But ] very much doubt whether
the majority In control OF the House
would permit such an investigation ia
be undertaken"
Representative Sherman of New York
said
81 think the country will accept Ad-
mlral Dewey's view as conclusive and
that Congress will take the same view
OF It, Dewey's conclusions Will live IN
history long after the other members OF
the court are forgotten
Senator McComas Of Maryland ex-
cused himself from discussing the YER
dict. saying he would decide on nothing
until he could hear from the admirals
friends.
