Not Believed That the Schley Court
VIII BE Compelled to Sit More
Than a Month.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-The
Navy Department did not announce to-
day the successor to Admiral Kimber-
ley on the Schley court of inquiry.
The Navy Department has selected
the firm of Smith & Hulse to make the
stenographic report of the proceedings
in the Schley court of inquiry. 1t is
now said that the proceeding in open
court will probably not occupy more
than two weeks or month at the
most. This comparatively short time
is based upon the expectation that 1t
will be necessary to call only a very
few of the persons who participated in
the West Indian naval campaign. The
officials do not care for repetitions Of
uncontroverted testimony and they feel
that few of the naval officers who were
in the fleet really knew anything Of
the motives which moved the COM
manders.
Judge Advocate General Lemly leaves
Washington tomorrow for months
vacation along the St. Lawrence. Dur
ing his absence the Judge advocate gen.
erals Office will get in touch with tho
witnesses whose testimony is desired so
that they will all be ready to appear
Captain Parker. of Admiral Schley' s
counsel, left Washington to-day, ex-
pecting to return next week to complete
his search of the records in the Navy
Department.

the Ohio river here as well as her IL
year-old daughter Kathleen, and two
little grandchildren, Imogene and Thee.
Apperson, aged four and five years, re-
spectively.
Mrs. Hemmings lived here. but the
grandchildren were the daughters of
Mrs, Lucille Apperson. of No. 3iT North
Eleventh street, Richmond, Va. they
having accompanied their mother here
to spend the summer. Those drowned,
along with Thelma Apperson, Of Rich
mond aged years, were pleasure rid
ing in a frail craft on the Ohio In
charge of William Clutter, a boy Of Is
years. The big passenger steamer
Sunshine, bound for Cincinnati. came
by, and the lad who was rowing be-
came excited and turned the little craft
directly toward the monster wheel OF
the steamer. The occupants OF the
boat became alarmed and Kathleen
Hemmings plunged into the river. The
mother leaped frantically into the
waves. hoping to rescue her daughter
and the two little ones either jumped
or were washed from the boat into the
river during the excitement.
Little Thelma would have plunged in
also had not the lad rowing held her.
The body of Imogene Apperson was
found at noon to-day at Ironton, Ohio,
having floated twenty miles. The re-
mains will be sent to Richmond for
burial. None of the other bodies have
yet been recovered, but hundreds of
people are now at work dragging the
river bed hoping soon to find them.
Mrs. Apperson's husband died near
Richmond less than two months ago,
and the drowning of her mother, sister
and two little daughters last night has
completely crazed her with grief. Ply
sicians are fearful of her recovery.
Mrs. Hemmings is sster-in-law OF
Hon George |. Neal, late Democratic
nominee for Congress in this district.

AND TELEPHoNED TO A CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE TEACHER, IN
CLEVELAND.
THE CORONER's REPORT
ON THE CASE URGES THE AUTHOR
tiles TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST
THE PARENTS.

Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, o., August I'm
the case of the death of Charles j.. the
five-months-old son of James and
Martha j. Speers, of this city, and for
merly of Greensburg, Pa, several weeks
since, Coroner Geo. A. Campbell filed
the following verdict tonight:
IL do find that the deceased died
after suffering from spasms for the rea-
son that the ignorant faith of the
parents In the so-called Christian
Science treatment denied the child any
medical treatment or attention. In
fact, the parents admitted that no re-
course was had even to the usual do
nestle remedies frequently used by pa
rents in cases of this character. ! feel
1t my duty, whatever action may be
taken by the authorities in this case,
where any person learns of serious i'll
ness, where physicians are excluded
through ignorance or religious belief, to
report the same to the authorities, SO
that measures In the interest of human
ity and justice may be taken"
The testimony shows that the child's
father telephoned daily to Mrs. Fitz-
patrick, of Cleveland, Christian
Science teacher, who advised him to
have no fear for the child.
The coming grand jury will investi-
gate the case.

WORKING OUT A CONSOLIDATION
OF ALL WEST VIRGINIA, OHIO
AND PENNSYLVANIA
BITUMINOUS COAL PROPERTIES
j. p. MORGAN TO RUN SOFT COAL
BUSINESS IN HARMONY WITH
ANTHRACITE.

NEW YORK, August 2.-The Mail
and Express says to-day:
1t was learned to-day that an under
writing syndicate OF possibly 100000 900
had been formed to finance the consol-
idation of the bituminous coal proper
ties along the Norfolk e Western,
Chesapeake & Ohio and possibly the
Hooking Valley, Baltimore & Ohio and
other railroads in West Virginia, West
ern Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The syndicate will include prominent
banking interests of this city, Phila-
deiphia and Baltimore, and perhaps
Pittsburg and other western cities.
Judge E. II. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel Corporation, is I'M
derstood to be one of the leading spirits
in the deal and this is interpreted by
some as meaning that the steel trust
will control the output.
This, however, is not true. Judge
Gary, it is believed by some, may repre-
sent j. p. Morgan & Company, but
this is not yet certain.
The design is to run the soft coal
business in harmony with the anthra-
cite trade, which Mr.. Morgan in meas
IRE controls.

A TRANSPORT ADR|FI IN
THE Painless PACIFIC.
THE DISABLED LENNON REACH
les SAN FRANCISCO.
NINETY.FOUR PASSENGERS
AND A CREW OF THIRTY ARE
ABOARD THE VESSEL AT THE
MERCY OF THE SEA.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.-The
seven men from the disabled transport
, Lennox. bound for Manila to this
port, who were picked up in small
boat off Piedras Blanca lighthouse and
brought to this city by the steamer
, George LOOMS, tell story of a
broken shaft, dearth of provisions and
the drifting of the helpless ship in the
current that sets down the coast. The
men are: Third Mate J. S. Pratt. j..
Lee, Frank West, p. 4. Flaherty and
James p. Scanlon, ex-sailors and men
of-warsmen: David Rankin, of New
Jersey, government clerk, returning
from Manila, and f. l.. Rose, a reporter
formerly connected with the Manila
Freedom.
They constituted a volunteer crew
that put off from the transport in
search of assistance. On the Lennox
are AZ cabin and AZ second-class pas
sengers. nearly all Of whom are dis
charged sailors and soldiers, and the
English officer and Chinese crew OF
about 80 men. There are no women
on board. Third Mate Spratt and his
companions tell the same story. One
of them said:
''The Lennox left Manila on June 81,
and Nagasaki on July 5. On the even
ing of July % the shaft broke within
three feet of the propeller, but the quick
shutting off of the engines prevented
any damages to the vessel. There was
calm at the time and things looked
bad. The members of the Chinese crew
were helpless and two old sailors fixed
up a jury rig, but under 1t the vessel
made little progress. For nearly a
week we looked in vandor assistance,
meanwhile drifting to the southwark
and in toward the coast. What made 1t
really serious was the shortage of pro-
visions.
Capt. Williamson asked the Chinese
crew to man small boat and attempt
| to reach the coast The Chinese re-
| fused and the chief officer came to us
sailors and asked for volunteer crew.
| Thirty minutes later We were off in a
| boat and were given a good send-off.
| We took two kegs of water, two tins
| of eorned beef and a box of hard tack.
| The boat was rugged with a sail, but
| there was no wind, and until we were
picked up by the LOOMS twelve hours
| later we were at the oars and had
come within sight of Piedras Blanca
! lighthouse"
1t is expected that the government
tug Slocum which was sent In search
of the Lennox will find the transport
to-day close to Santa Barbara channel
She was $50 miles south OF this city
and 40 miles at sea when the small
boat left her.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-Colonel
Long, quartermaster of San Francisco,
has informed the war department that
the tug Slocum, which was sent to the
assistance of the disabled transport
Lennox, was expected TO reach that YES
sci at 3 O'Clock this morning. The
Lennox is chartered transport. She
was returning to San Francisco in order
to be turned over to her owners.
