Prior to the court's convenlng a 2004 sized crowd assembled at Wash ington navy yard, where the court meets to witness the coming of the prom naval officers who were to take par proceedings.

The usual for malities on the opening of the court were enacted with dispatch y Makes His Challenge. The first skirmish was opened by Admiral Schley rising from hie seat and in a strong voice, calmly and deliberately. challenging Admiral Howison's «ligibility as a member of the court Three witnesses were brought forward ln support of this challenge, namely, Francis S Frost, Wil- liam E. Spon and Foster Nicholls. They gave very positive testimony as to expres- sions they had heard Admiral Howison make, favorable Admiral Sampson and unfavorable to Admiral Schley. Mr. Frost testified to a statement Admiral Howison Boston while the wit Mr. Admiral naturally were Isi- Capta se nese was seeking news as a reporter Spon to remarks made while he and admiral were journeying back to this coun try trom Europe on a transatlantic steamer, and Mr. Nleholls to a conversation which occurred during a business call at Admiral Howison's private residence at Yonkers, Ny On concluding this testimony the ques- tion arose whether Admiral Howison would join issue with the statements made by the witnesses or would rest on his privilege to withhold apy answer until he chose to sub mit it Howison Glad to Re Excuased. The admiral met the issue by turning at once to Admiral Dewey and announcing that he would make a writ of rejoiner to the statements of the three witnesses. This re- joiner he prepared very speedily. While conceding the accuracy of some points in the evidence, he threw considerable doubt on other points and disclaimed any recol- lection of the talks said to have taken place on the transatlantic steamer. It sufficient, however, to counteract the very direct testimony given by the three wit- nesses, and moreover the admiral himself in concluding his statement, Indicated plainiy that he had no desire to remain on the court and was there simply in obedience to orders. He even appealed to his asso- clates on the court questions as to bis eligib Admiral Schiey. Before submitting the challenge determination of the court, Mr. Rayner cross examined Admiral Howison very mi- nutely as to hie personal sentiment toward Admiral Sampson and Admiral schley and developed that Admiral Howison had ex- pressed certain definite convictions as to Admiral Sampson's retention of authority and responsibility, even while he was ab- sént temporarily from the fleet at Santiago. in favor of [ Dewey Soon Announces Ad eat, The challenge then was submitted to the court, which, under the circumstances, was narrowed down to Admirul Dewey and Ad- miral Benham to.pass upon. After hardly more than fifteen minutes, spent in retire- ment to the consulting room of the court, Admiral Dewey briefly announced that the court sustained the challenge that Adwmiral Howison would be excused from further attendance. The decision came so quickly and unexpectediy that it sent a flutter of agitation throughout the courtroom. There was a buzz of animated comment and Ad- mira] Schley exchanged looks of satisfaction with his counsel Admiral Dewey then at once closed proceedings @f the day by announcing that the court would adjourn indefinitely until the Navy department had named an officer 1o succeed Admiral Howison.

The man with the dust broom and cleaning cloth had scarcely disap- peared when Admiral Dewey and his fel- members of the court arrived. The building itself is a large, oblong structure and looks more like the workshop which it is Intended to be than a courthouse. 1n- while it commodious and clean and new, it created the impression of un impromptu courthouse in a froutier com munity. With the exception of two large flags and & huge golden eagle on the lead-colored wall back of the court, the walls of the court hall were entirely free from decora- tions and the floors were innocent of car- peting; not even were the large windows shaded.
