WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-The saw
ings of forty-five years of active service
in the United States Navy have been
eaten up by the expenses of inquiry by
which Admiral Schley hopes to clear his
record as naval officer. Since the
final adjournment of the court the Ad-
miral has been attempting to extricate
himself from the financial tangle caused
by the inquiry. He finds that every

Mrs. Schley insists that the money
has been well spent. Her children agree
with her. During the inquiry witnesses
were brought from long distances,
stenographers were employed and clerks
