CHAMP CLARK IN RACE
FOR THE PRESIDENCY
Announces His Purpose to
Compete for Nomination.
Endorsed by Hearst.

NEW YORK, September Pa dispatch
to the New York Press from Hutchinson,
Kan, says:
Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, who has been talked Of
a whole lot by William Jennings Bryan
of late, has announced he would be
a candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton.
He will hold the Bryan votes in the
convention until they are cast for the real
Bryan choice.
Clark goes to New Mexico with Bryan
next week.
Hearst Praises Clark.
NEW YORK, September pa special
cable to the New York American from
London says in part:
The Standard this morning prints the
following interview with William Ran
dOlph Hearst, which he gave prior to
sailing Saturday. The Standard con-
denses the first question as to whether
he thought Taft will succeed in having
the arbitration treaty. as originally
framed and signed. ratified by the Senate,
or whether 1t would be modified to ex-
clude the joint high commission, in its
Introduction, and then goes on.
Il doubt very much whether the arbi-
signed. will ever be ratified by the
Senate said Mr.. Hearst Il am inclined
to think that II will be modified at least
to exclude the joint high commission.
AS a matter of fact. there'seems to me
considerable basis for the Senate's OBJ
lection to the treaty in it's present form.
l know that Mr. Roosevelt in the Outlook
has declared himself unequivocally
against it., and l think that the general
sentiment of the citizens of the United
States will now be opposed to it.
Effect on Taft's Future.
What effect will the defeat of reci-
procity have on President Taft's political
FUTURE asked the interviewer
THE failure of the Presidents plan of
reciprocity will not have very favor
able effect. I am afraid. and if there
should be added to this the further failure
of his arbitration treaties the result will
be still less advantageous to his political
future.
Il fully believe, in view of the present
situation, that the democratic party will
come into complete power at the next
election. 1t now controls the lower House
Of Congress. and Is within a few votes
of controlling the Senate
IF the democrats elect their candidate
for President next year they will con-
troll the government. Then | believe the
policy of general reciprocity will be
adopted. and I am both hopeful and con-
1dent of reciprocal trade relations with
all nations where mutual benefit can he

a dear friend of more than fifty years
standing"
Rear Admiral r. F. NICHOLSON. chief of
the Bureau of Navigation who served on
the Oregon during the battle Of San
tiago. said:
Il was distinctly shocked to learn of
Admiral Schley's death. He was life
long personal friend, having been also a
friend of my father. His services to the
country were most distinguished. He
was a lieutenant-commander and an in
structor in Spanish at the Naval Acad-
emy when I was a plebe. All the young
men had a high personal regard for him,
and he in turn loved them. He was one
of the best linguists in the navy. His
death leaves d great gap in the list OF
living distinguished naval officers.
Revives Interest in Dispute.
Admiral SchIey's death revives interest
in the naval court of inquiry. which was
held ten years ago, and which was prob
ably the most acrimonious dispute in the
history OF the navy. The members were

of Maryland. and Capt. James Parker
in Admiral Schley's behalf.
Schley was prompted to ask for
the investigation by criticisms amounting
in some cases to charges of cowardice in
his famous loop which was made by
the Brooklyn during the battle of San
tiago.
When the Spanish vessels came out of
the harbor on July 3, 1898, Admiral
Schley, then a commodore IN command

dispute. The Spanish vessels were
heading directly for the position occu-

until she headed westward, parallel to

DEATH OF SCHLEY
SHOCK TO FRIENDS
In Good Health When He
Went to New England.

The sudden death Of Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley, L. S. N, retired.
was a distinct shock to his friends in
this city. Those who were intimate with
him knew that he suffered from heart
trouble. When he left Washington sew
eral months ago to spend the summer in
New England he appeared to be in fairly
good health considering his age
Admiral Schley had resided here since
his retirement from active service on Oc-
tober g. 1901. and had been engaged in
writing his memoirs. Had he lived until
next Monday he would have celebrated
another birthday. Although seventy-two
years of age. the admiral did not show his
years. He walked with a quick, sprightly
step and was usually in good spir-
its. He enjoyed a greater popularity
with the public than any other naval
officer excepting Admiral Dewey.
Gains Personal Popularity.
Admiral Schley's service. first in COM
mand of the Greedy relief expedition in
1854. and in command OF the flying squad
ron, and in command of the armored
cruiser Brooklyn during the battle of
Santiago gained for him personal popu-
larity second only to that enjoyed by
Admiral Dewey. When in 1901 a court
OF inquiry was appointed at his request
to investigate his conduct during that
battle his reputation was not damaged
and he remained a popular idol.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer sent
letter of coincidence to Mrs. Schley as
soon as he heard of the admirars death.
Mr.. Meyer declined to give out the text
Of his letter until the widow receives it,
The Navy Department began preliminary
arrangements yesterday for an official
funeral. While no word has been re-
ceived from Mrs. Schley, 1t is assumed
here that the interment will be at Ar
lington with military honors. Six re-
tired rear admirals will act as honorary
pallbearers and the funeral escort will
consist of three, battalions Of infantry
and one of artillery. Last spring Ad-
miral Schley selected lot in the Arling-
ton National Cemetery near that owned
by Admiral Dewey. The department was
advised of Admiral Schley's death yes

Discussing Admiral Schley's death. Sec
retary of the Navy Meyer said: BY the
sudden death of Admiral Schley the navy
has lost a distinguished officer-one who
has served since the civil war and has
filled many competent positions. Among
them was his command of the Greedy

of Equipment, in command Of the flying

bystanders ran to his aid and placed un-
der his head as a pillow an overcoat
which he had been carrying over one

physician, DR.. E. F. Krug. who said, as
soon as he felt the pulse and heart, that
| the man was dead. No one at this time

tor, however, said that he was probably
dead before he fell
A policeman took charge of the body

Hospital. The surgeon on the ambu-
lance confirmed DR. Krug's judgment
that the man had died instantly. Then
the policeman turned out the pockets of
the dead mans clothing and revealed

the initials and looking again at the

tenderly taken up and carried in the am

Algonquin Hotel, where the Admiral and

The formal Identification was made at
o'clock-an hour afterward-by the ad-
mirafs son, DR.. w. S. Schley, jr.

Coroner Winterbottom waived all the

body.

Final arrangements for the funeral

executing this maneuver the Brooklyn
turned toward the Texas, which, to
avoid collision, was obliged to stop and
back her engines.
Who Was in Command:
Another question before the court
was as to whether Admiral Sampson or
Admiral Schley was in command" of
the fleet. Admiral Dewey presented a
minority report in which he expressed
the opinion that Admiral SchIey was in
absolute command" of the fleet. and
was entitled to the credit for the de-
struction of the Spanish ships. Admiral
Schley submitted to the Secretary Of
the Navy a petition that the report of
the majority of the court, which was
unfavorable to Admiral Schley. be dis
approved and sent back for further tes-
timony. Secretary Long. however. ap-
proved the opinion of the majority of
the court
On February 81, 1902. Admiral Schley
