THE SCHLEY REPORT
SAID TO BE ABOUT READY FOR
PRESENTATION.
VIII be in the Handwriting Of Admiral
Ramsay Junior Member Of the Court
Secrecy Observed.

NEW YORK, December 10.-A spe-
cial to the sun from Washington says:
The Schley court viii probably submit
It's findings and opinion TO the Secre-
tary Of the Navy tomorrow. IT Is un-
derstOOd that at the meeting today the
court approved the written drafts of its
conclusions on all except one point in
the precept, which had not been def
nitely determined. Additional informa-
ton relating TO this point was regarded
as necessary. This was secured, and
II is believed the court not only dis
posed Of the matter. but drafted its
conclusions into report before ad-
JOurning.
From all accounts the courts findings
and conclusions were put into writing
by Ramsay, the Junior member. The
greatest care has been taken to pre-
vent the substance or any information
whatever about them from leaking out.
II Is even said that the members of the
court agreed not to discuss the case
with the members Of their own fam
ilies. From the little that has leaked
out about the methods Of the court s
procedure, IL Is the understanding that
the report will not be submitted to a
stenOgrapher for copying, but will be
laid before the Secretary Of the Navy
in the handwriting Of the member de-
puted to draft 1t.
