He Died Unrecognized by Anyone in
th,' Large Crowd That Rushed to

Unreccgnized by single person In
the curious throng that rushed to
his aid, Rear Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley, U. S. N, retired, fell dead
in front of the Berkeley lyceum on
west Forty-fourth street, New York,
on Monday afternoon. The death of
this notable figure in the naval his
tory of the nation was for the mo-
ment that of an unknown man in a
strange crowd.
The Admiral's sudden death is at
tributed to cerebral hemorrhage
which attacked him shortly after he,
with Mrs. Schley reached New
York that morning from a visit to
Mount Kisco and had called at the
New York Yacht club for his mail.
AS the Amdiral was walking
through west Forty-fourth street, a
passerby who saw him stagger grasp
ed his way quickly through the crowd
Despite the strangers service, how
ever, the admiral fell helpless to
the street and a physician who press
his way quickly through the crow d
pronounced him dead.
There was cash over his right
eye where his forehead had struck
the sidewalk. A slight fracture OF
the frontal bone had ensued, but
surgeons who examined the body ex-
pressed disbelief that this injury in
any way resulted in his death.
His identity was established by
letters and papers found in his pock-
cts and from an inscription in his
gold watch which had been present
ed to the admiral by his native State
of Maryland "for his heroism and
memorable service in rescuing Lieut..
A. w. Greedy, U. S. A., and six Hom-
rades from death at Cape Sabine in
the artic region on June 22,1SS4."
The spot where Admiral Schley
died is in the very heart Of New
York's club district and members of
these organizations were thickly
clustered around and soon establish
ed the Identification of the famous
commander who figured so promi-
nently in the naval engagement OF
1898 at Santiago.
The body was taken to the nearest
police station. After the usual for
ma!ities permission was given for the
removal Of the..body to the Hotel AL
gonquin, where Admiral Schley made
his home while in the city. AS the
body was bourne forth to the walt
ing conveyance the throng about the
station stood with barred heads.
Bluejackets from the Brooklyn
navy yard who had been summoned
furnished an escort, their command
er being C. M. Devalen, a recruiting
officer, who was with Admiral Schley
on the cruiser Brooklyn at the bat.
tie of Santiago.
One of the admiral's sons, DR..
Winfield Scott Schley, Jr., reached
the scene before the body was re-
moved. A message conveying the
sad news to the admiral's other son,
Capt. T. F. Sehley, at Fort Logan,
Denver, COL, was dispatched.
Admiral Schley was born in Fred
erick county, Maryland, in 1899. At
ter graduating from Annapolis in
1850 and serving during the War of
Secession in minor capacities, he was
commissioned in 1866 as lieutenant
commander.
During the Spanish American war
Schley, in the absence of Sampson,
fought the Spanish fleet, which at
tempted to escape from Santiago
harbor and destroyed it with his
fleet of half dozen ships.

The cotton crop Of the growing
season of 1911, which early in the
year, gave indications that 1t would
be one of the largest in the history
OF the industry, will approximate 49,
S6S,337 bales of 500 pounds or about
100000 bales more than the record
OF 1904.
This, says report from Washing
ton, was indicated by the final condl-
tion report of the department OF
agriculture on Monday at noon
which showed the crop to be Ill
per cent of normal on September 20.
While there were declines in the
condition in most States there was
an Improvement Of 2 per cent. IN
Texas and per cent. in North Car
olina.
With an indicated yield Of 195
hounds to the acre, as unofficlally es-
timated from Mondays condition fig
rres, and the planted area, the 1911
crop undoubtedly will go down as the
biggest on record.
The estimated production of cot
ton, based on the condition figures
of Mondays report shows the crop
of Texas to be almost 100000
bales more than last year.
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Lou

increases, while South Carolina show
