FLANAGAN ADVISES
BOILING DRINKING WATER
City Health Officer Sounds Warning
Against Danger Of Typhoid
Fever.
ONLY ELEVEN CASES IN CITY
No Epidemic, but, Because Of Condi-
iOns of Water Supply, Officials
Advocate Prccaution of General
Antityphoid Vaccination.
ONLY ELEVEN CASES IN CITY

While no epidemic condition exists.
DR.. Roy X. Flanagan. Chief Health
officer. yesterday sounded a warning
to Richmond against typhoid fever.
and urged that all persons who have
not done so be vaccinated against this
dread summertime disease. In addi-
ton. he recommended that city water
used for drinking purposes be boiled.
Under All agreement with the United
States Public Health Service all per-
sons who wish to be vaccinated may
have 1t dono without cost. The Rich
mond Health Department has received
an unlimited quantity OF antityphoid
vaccine for free distribution. and all
persons who call at tho Offices OF the
department., third Goor. City Hall. will
be vaccinated without cost.
RIVER MUDDIED ny
CONTINUOUS RAINS
In discussing the situation last night,
DR.. Flanagan said that tho almost
continuous rainfall during the past six
weeks has made the James River mud
der than II has been for many years.
The James furnishes Richmond with
its water supply.
ut is necessary to use the maximum
amount Of chemicals in the water in or
der to clarity and purify 1t before 1t
Is delivered to tho people," said Dr..
Flanagan. Notwithstanding this,
there have been many days recently
that certain sections of the city have
had to use turbid water. At times,
too. there has been decided chemical
taste to tho water. This taste is to be
expected. 1t is harmless and furnishes
to the Richmond people tho best insur-
ance for tho sanitary quality OF tho
water the city can give at this time. It
10 better to overdose q little with
chlorine than to fall to purify. Even
at this, 1t would be we'll for the citi-
IONS to realize that Richmond water 10
not Uttered. and that when 1t Is not clear
1t may become dangerous"

WOULD SAVE RAILWAY

Columbus, Ohio, January 15--Com-
plant by the city Of Georgetown, In
Brown county, was filed with the
Utilities Commission today against
Henry II. Fishel and ]. d. Marks, do
ing business as Fishel Il Marks, to
prevent tearing UP the Ohio River and
Columbus Railway and selling 1t for
junk The city Sonded itself in 1879
for many thousands Of dollars to get
the road and the business people do
not want It torn out. The high price
for junk, 1t is claimed, is inducing
owners Of poor lines to give up their
operation and sell the stuff In the mar
ket. Hearing is set for January rs.

ADMIRAL Dewey
Hero Of Manila Bay Dies at His Home
In Washington Followed by An
Illness Due to Old Age.

Washington, January 16-Admiral
George Dewey, the nations Spanish
war hero, and by priority of grade,
the ranking naval officer of the world,
died at his home here tonight in his
S0th year He had not been conscious
since yesterday, when he lapsed into
coma still believing that in few days
he would be back at his desk in the
navy department.
A general breakdown, accompanied
by arterio-sclerosis incident to old age,
was the cause of his death. The dis
ease had been gradually spreading its
hold upon the powerful body for a
year and half, but the admiral,
proud of his physical vigor, had
fought it off and even kept its exist
ence a secret from most of his init
mate friends. Last Wednesday he
was at his Office apparently hale and
hearty. The next day he collapsed as
he was preparing to leave the house,
and the beginning of the end was at
hand.
Vile, Son at Bedside
Mrs. Dewey and the admiral's son,
George, were at the bedside tonight
They had known since yesterday there
was no hope. The admiral died at
556 p. m. President Wilson and Sec
rotary Daniels were notified at once
and the news was flashed to American
naval vessels and nations all over the
world. The message carried orders
that all flags be half-masted.
The President will confer tomorrow
with Secretary Daniels and Rear Ad-
miral Badger and arrange for the fun
eral. which probably will take place
Saturday. The body will be buried in
Arlington National cemetery, on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac river,
where many of Admiral Dewey's form
er comrades have been laid to rest be-
fore him.

No Bernharlis for Us.

Whatever confidence Congress or
public opinion ever had in the present
chief of staff OF the army will be de-
stroyed. says the New Republic, by
General SCOTS recent testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs. A few weeks ago he
was ready to guarantee the security
OF the country with an army OF L.
SOC. 900 men Now he suddenly dis
covers that twice 100000 trained
men are Indispensable. Why? Be
cause It tx necessary for us 70 arm
against a combined attack from Great
Britain and Japan. But why not add
France and Russia to the combina-
ton and deduce the need of an army
OF 5000, 600 trained men, 1t is easy
to penetrate the object of these cal
culations. The most formidable OBJ
stacle which American common sense
has raised to universal service is the
query; Why train SO many soldiers
when we do not need them? In order
to re-enforce the argument in favor
of universal service, one must Calcu-
late. consequently, on the necessity Of
arming against a power which could
land an indefinitely large number of
troops on this continent ana whose
control OF the sea could not be dis
puted Great Britain is the only pow
err which fills the bin She could use
Canada as base ana her control
OF the seas would be anassailable.
SO General Scott has the abominable
ievity to propose that we adjust our
military preparations to the necessity
of fighting Canada and the British
Commonwealth. Let US thank God
We are still governed by civilians.
