ADMIRAL DEWEY DIES
HERO OF MANILA BAY SUCCUMBS
AFTER COLD CONTRACTED
RECENTLY,
WILSON EXPRESSES GRIEF
Head of the American Navy Won Dis
tinction as Young Civil War Officer
and Was Given Highest Honor After
Defeating Spanish Fleet.

Washington, Jan. 18. - Admiral
George Dewey, who won the naval bat
tie at Manila bay, died at his home
here at the age of seventy-nine, after
an illness lasting six days. Mrs. Dewey
and his son, George NJ. Dewey, were
with him when the end came. The
son was summoned from Chicago.
Admiral Dewey was taken i'll with
what at first appeared to be only
slight cold. His Illness was diagnosed
as arteriosclerosis. Since Monday no
hope had been held out for his re-
covery.
President Wilson has shown his
sympathy by sending huge punches of
flowers to the admirars home, with a
request that he be informed of any
change in the patients condition.
Because of Admiral Dewey's rank,
the military funeral services will be
of the most impressive character.
During his residence in Washington
Admiral Dewey had lived a very SIM
pie and retired life. He was at his
office in the navy department regu-
larly every day.
Admiral Dewey was the third Off
Ger who won the high post of admiral
of the United States navy.
His father was DR.. Junius Yemans
Dewey of Montpelier, Vt. His mother
was Mary Perrin, daughter of Zacha-
| riah Perrin Of Gilead, Conn.
George Dewey was born at Mont
pelier on December 26, 1887.

FOOD CONDITIONS ARE BAD
Germans Suffer as Supply DwindIes
Says Correspondent-No Cheese
Since August-Few Potatoes.

Stockholm, Jan. 1S.-The food situ-
alton in Germany has become much
worse in the last six months, accord
ing TO the account of a correspond
ent who has returned from a trip to
Berlin.
Potatoes are so scarce that this
weeks per capita ration in Berlin was
Tess than four and half pounds. This
is attributed in part to the farmers
Withholding shipments until February
Is, when higher prices will be permit
ted, but 1T is not denied that the crop
is insufficient to meet normal demand.
No cheese has been ON the market
since August and eggs are unobtain-
able, except surreptitiously at 16 to
20 cents apiece. Berlin's daily milk
supply is about $4,000 liters (about
10000 quarts), against q normal of
100000 liters, and it is impossible to
buy clothing. shoes. stockings, or
blankets except by permission of the
police. This prohibition. however,
may be merely a precautionary meas
ure. as the shops appear to be well
stocked with clothing.

M'ADOO IS MENTIONED
TUMULTY AND HENRY ALSO
BROUGHT INTO LEAK QUIZ.
Bernstorff Made $2,oo0,ooo, but
Doubts Tale.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Th0mas W.
Lawson sprung a sensation in the
"leak" inquiry on Monday when he
testified that Chairman Henry of the
rules committee conducting the in
Quiry was the congressman who told
him that a cabinet officer, a member
Of congress and q banker were said to
have profited in the stock market by
advance information on President VIII
sons peace note.
Secretary McAdoo, Lawson said, was
the cabinet member to whom he re-
ferred in his previous testimony as be-
ing connected, according to rumor,
with a "leak" on President Wilson's
peace note.
Lawson said that the banker who
told him he knew another banker who
dominated a cabinet officer in Washing
ton was Archibald S. White of White
& Co., Boston. The committee immedi-
ately issued a subpoena for White.
Chairman Henry on the witness
stand declared he never had men
toned the name of a member of con-
gress or banker, to Lawson as hav'
ing been involved in the 'leak." This
made his denial of Lawson's testimony
complete.
When Henry had concluded his testi.
mopy, Lawson arose and ramatically
asserted that every word he, Lawson
had uttered was the "truth, so help me
God, without variation"
Lawson further said Henry had told
him information had come to the com
mittee that the German ambassador
had profited over $2,OO0,0OO, but that
he did not think it was true.
