badly. l seemed to get well of my injury
but it left me with kidney trouble which
has bothered me ever since. MY kidneys

WITNESS CAUSES SENSATION
Rostonlan Asserts He Heard That
Bernstorff Made 100000, But
Doubts TaIe-Hepry Denies All
Charges Made by Financier.

Washington, Jan. 17.-ThOmas 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 cabinet officer, a member
OF congress and banker were said to
have prOflted in the stock market by
advance information on President Will
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 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 subpoena for White.
Chairman Henry on the witness
stand declared he never had mem
toned the name Of member of con-
gress or a banker, to Lawson as hav-
ing been involved in the '1eak." This
made his denial of Lawson's testimony
complete.
When Henry had concluded his testi-
mOny, Lawson arose and dramatically
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 100000, but that
he did not think it was true.

ADMIRAL GEORGE
DEWEY IS DEAD
Hero of Manila Bay Dies After
c-,..iOrt Illness.
WIFE AND SON WITH HIM
Commander Won Distinction as Civil
War Officer and Was Given High
est Honor After Victory
in 1898.

Washington, Jan. 17.-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. Dew
ey and his son, George M. Dewey,
were with. him when the end came.
The son was summoned from Chicago.
Admiral Dewey was taken i'll last
Thursday with what at first appeared
to be only a slight cold. His condi-
ton rapidly became worse and on Sum
day the two navy surgeons in attend
ance, DIR. A M. Fauntleroy and DR.. Luz
Their SHELDON, Jr., announced that he
was in serious danger of complete
breakdown because of his advanced
age. His illness was diagnosed as
arterio-sclerosis. Since Monday no
hope had been held out for his recOv-
cry.
Wide Anxiety Stirred.
Ever since it became known that
the admiraI's life was in danger the
greatest concern over his condition
has been shown. Secretary Daniels
and the ranking officers of the navy
have kept in close touch with the prog

ress of his illness and both his home
and the navy department have been
kept busy answering inquiries from
friends and admirers.
President Wilson has shown his
sympathy by sending huge punches of
flowers to the admiral's home both on
Monday and Tuesday, with a request
that he be informed of any change in
the patients condition.
1t is understood that burial will be
in Arlington cemetery.
Great Funeral Pageant.
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 very SIM
pie and retiring life. He was at his
Office in the navy department regu-
larly every day.
Except on his birthdays, which
naval officials insisted on celebrating
with a big reception in his honor at
his office, he avoided anything which
savored of display or publicity. His
favorite recreation was driving about
the parks of Washington behind a
pair of horses, which he would never
consent to exchange for an automo-
bile.
Was Third Admiral.
Admiral Dewey was the third Off
Ger who won the high post of admiral
of the United States navy.
His father was DR.. julius Yemans
Dewey, of Montpelier, vt. His mother
was Mary Perrin, daughter of Zecha-
rfah Perrin of Gilead, Conn.
George Dewey wass born at Mont
pelier on December 26, 1887. He was
eighth in descent from Thomas Dewey
of Sandwich, Kent, England, who emf
grated to Massachusetts about 1888.
Thomas Dewey married Mrs. Fran
ces Clark in 1859. Josiah, the second
of their children, was the ancestor
of the Admiral. Josiah in 1862 mar
ried Hepzibah, daughter of Richard
Lyman Of Northampton, Mass, whose
lineage, some genealogists say, has
been traced back through the Lambert
family to Alfred the Great.
T. r. Sends for Dewey.
After he had received his promotion
from captain to commodore in 1895
Dewey remained for another year as
president of the board Of inspection
and survey. His rank now entitled
him to the command Of a squadron.
War clouds were COMMUNICATION
with Spain were strained-when in
1897 the question arose of a successor
to acting Rear Admiral McNair Of the
Asiatic squadron.
Dewey, on October q, 1897, received
an order detaching him from duty as
president of the board of inspection
and survey and instructing him to re-
port to Acting Rear Admiral McNair,
in the far East, as his relief.
