SATURDAY, DEC. p.
Judge Advocate Lemly and Solicitor
Hanna submitted to Secretary Long
their report upon the bill of objections
filed by Admiral Schley to the findings
of the Schley court of inquiry. The
principal points are an insistence upon
their contention that the first report is
the unanimous report of the court of
inquiry; that the court was justified in
rejecting Admiral Schley's evidence Iy
the number of witnesses who took issue
with him, and that there is no suf-
ficient reason for a reopening of the
case as requested by Admiral Schley--
