SCHLEYS LETTER AT HAND
MAExEs SUGGESTIONS Regarding
PRECEPr FOR THE COURT.
Growing Impression That Rear Aa-
i. miral Luce will, He Chosen
I'm Kimberly Place.

It was announced at the Navy Depart
me1t this morning that the letter from
Rear Admiral Schley acknowledging the
receipt Of the precept to the court Of In
ouiry and making certain suggestions with
reference thereto had at last been received.
No explanation Of the delay In its arrival
and no statement Of its contents were fur
nished
Judge Advocate Lemly simply announced
that the letter had arrived and would re-
cetve consideration. He then declined TO
answer all interrogatories. basing his re-
f,isal upon the order Of the 6soretary pro-
hibiting officers from discussing the case.
In the ordinary course Of the mails the
letter should have reached Secretary Long
yesterday morning. The supposition Is
that Secretary Long received the letter and
took 1t with him on his departure from
Washington. without then making its con-
tents kRown to the officials OF the depart
ment.
Whether the letter Of Admiral schley ac-
tually challenges the fifth specification of
the precept. alleging disobedience. Is not
positively known. although 1t Is certain
that 1t makes some comment upon the pre-
'cept. and makes certain suggestions re-
garding It.
SaPt Aetiiy uepeItS oH his annual AeaFo
on Saturday, and the supposition Is that
the consideration Of Rear Admiral Schley' 8
letter will be had before that time, and
that whatever action Is to be taken on the
admiral's representations will be taken at
once.
If any modification Of the precept is to
be made 1t would seem to be only fair to
Admiral Schley that 1t should be made i'm
mediately that he might prepare his case
accordingly.
Assistant Secretary Hackett Is expected
to return to this city and assume charge
Of the Navy Department tomorrow morn
Ing. lnttmattons were given at the Navy
Department today that certain points in
regard to the Schley court OF inquiry will
then be cleared up.
This applied particularly to the latest
gard to certain statements made In the off,
cial precept. and also with regard to the
action taken by the department on the re-
quest Of Rear Admiral Kimberly to be
relieved from service as q member Of the
court on account Of ill-health.
Considerable interest is shown in the Sc
lection to be made by the department Of
Admiral Kimberlys successor. being
taken for granted that the request Of that
officer will be granted It was even stated
this afternoon that the matter had already
been practically settled. and that an official
on the subject would be
made tomorrow or Friday.
1t is also said to be settled that Rear Ad-
miral Ramsey, retired, will not be a MEM
Der Of the court That officer like Admirals
Walker and Greer. Is said to have freely
expressed his opinions on the merits Of the
controversy. The opinion Is now gaining
that Rear Admiral Luce will most proba-
bly, be Admiral Kimberly's successor on
the court.

CHECK HELD UP.
Secretary RoAerfck's Pay for July q
Matter Of ln0uiPy.

-
Matter Of Inquiry.
Growing out Of the controversy caused
by the granting Of leave Of absence to
Major Twombley, former secretary OF the
board OF education. and its subsequent
withdrawal. the check for the July pay Of
Secretary Roderick has been held up by
the disbursing officers OF the District until
the matter can be esettled as to who IL
entitled to the pay. Mr.. Roderick resigned
q position in the government printing office
to accept the secretaryship. and when he
left that Institution he received pay for the
month Of July, covering his annual leave.
Auditor Petit laid the matter before Con-
troller Tracewe1 OF the Treasury Depart
ment today. and his decision will doubtless
be accepted In the matter.
Secretary Roderick telephoned the Dis
trict dtsbursing officer today. notifying him
that he had received no check for July pay.
He was told that owing to the fact that
Major Twombley had nled q voucher for
the amount due the secretary. the question
had been referred to the controller. and
that he (Mr. Roderick) would be informed
or the decision a. soon a. received.
