Admiral Dewey of Manila Bay fame,
whose death the nation is mourning,
won place in the hearts OF his coun-

came to him to secure for himself a
place in the hall OF fame and the world
knows how well he did the great piece

OF embezzling government property.
The arrest was made in connection

apparently had been altered to cover
up the shortage, the problem was
