Thousands Litne Streets. Afterwards through streets lined with thousands the notable company and a large escort of military and naval forces followed the casket to Arlington. The Midshipmen from Annapolis, re membered bv the Admiral while he was on his death bed as "my friends," had the signal distinction of honor escort, and in compliance with his request they alone accompanied the body from the residence to the Capitol, and later, were the only military unit to enter the cemetery In organization formation.

Burlner the services the entire ma chinerv of the Federal Government here was halted. Private business was suspended an hour and all flags were at half mast. Observances of a simi lar kind were held on every American naval vessel afloat and were empha sized by the firing at noon by every soninr shin of a salute of 19 guns, two more than the regulations prescribe for an Admiral's salute. The Imposing procession moved at half step from the Capitol to Arling ton and entered the cemetery grounds two hours after it had started. As It wound slowly out of the city, across the Potomac, and began the approach through the Virginia hills the batteries at Fort Meyer began at minute inter vals a 19-gun salute. Later, when the casket was placed in the vault, the salute was repeated. At the head of the procession through the cemetery marched the midshipmen and their band. As they neared the vault they divided into two columns, between which passed the flag-draped caisson bearing the cas ket, followed by Chaplain Frazier and Dr. Smith, the President and the Cab inet and ranking officers of the Army and Navy. Twelve sailors from the Presidential yacht Mayflower and the seamen gun ners' school bore the casket to the vault and placed it as the midship men's band played "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The last service was read and then a squad of midshipmen fired three sharp .volleys and Chief Master-at-Arms Charles Mitchell, who was with Dewey at Manila Bay, sounded "Taps." Floral Offerings Elaborate. Onlv one floral decoration, that of Mrs. Dewey, was placed on the casket. It was selected by George Dewey, only eon of the Admiral, from among the hundreds banked against the vault and cametinff the ground around it.

Recently she has been despondent. "She told me tonight that once she had turned on the gas with the intent of ending her life, but changed her mind, as she felt she could not die apne. Besides, she explained, she didn't want the Janitor to find her body. "Miss De Jong was jolly enough whn she attended a dinner at Judge Melvln's recently. I went with her. She seemed in excellent spirits then. i sat mis eveniner for a time, sne painted for a while and then cast her brushes to the floor. I tried my best to cheer her up. I did all that I could do under the circumstances. Had I rushed toward her she would have shot herself Immediately and there was hope th: t I could dissuade her by argument. There was nothing between us except mutual interest in art. I have sympa thized with her in her efforts to achieve fame and with her lonely existence. but I was not in love with her, nor she wita me." Marriage Is Unhappy. Intimate friends of the artist said tonight that ' Miss De Jong had told them she had been unhappily married in France. Besides her mother, she has a grandmother and a sister, who is a doctor attached to a Paris hospital. Miss De Jong came to this country several years ago and before her ar rival exhibited in galleries in Boston. Baltimore, Pittsburg and other East ern art centers. She gained recognition when she came to San Francisco, and exhibited three paintings in the Fine Arts exhibition at .the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Her paintings were "Bea trix," "The Dancing Girl" and a por trait of Isabella Percy.' another local artist. Since then Miss De Jong has painted portraits of many San Franciscans. Dr. Porter was not detained by the police after he had told his story and it had been partially verified by visit to the studio. He went to his home in Oakland. CATERERS TO HELP IDLE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU FLANKED BY CO-OPERATIVE CLUB. Buying Method Which Taken Ad vantage of tVholesale Price la Found to be Most Successful. Reorganized less than four months ago primarly for the co-operative purchasing of supplies, the Portland Caterers' Club is widening its scope and now is conducting an employment service bureau. Better treatment of employee and providing more attrac tive positions for faithful workers are among the aims of the club. The organization now has 30 mem bers, including the proprietors of the principal hotels, restaurants, cafeteria and coffee houses of Portland. The total membership has a buying ca pacity of approximately $1,000,000 a year. Officers of the club declare that the system of co-operative buying has proved a marked success. A large amount of supplies is purchased di rect from the producers, and the profits of the middleman are elimin ated. It is pointed put that the sav ing thus made enaDles the hotel and restaurant men to give bigger values to their patrons. "The club door is open to all pro ducers, large or small, and we will pay all the goods are worth," said Henry W. Kent, secretary and pur chasing agent of the club, yesterday. "Every purchase of car of flour, potatoes, apples, etc., carries with it the privilege of any member buying his share at exactly the prices paid by every other member. In other words, the member buying one box of apples pays the same price as the member who buys one hundred boxes. This rule applies to all purchases and the amount is the actual price paid. "The entire expenses of operating the Club are paid by the members as monthly dues, hence it costs a mem ber no more to buy $10,000 per month through the club than it does $100 and . because of this the Individual member runs his own business in his own way, only using the club privi leges as he sees it to his advantage to do so." Coal Watn Drivers All Quit When latent Is Only to Call Oat Work ers for One Firm. CHICAGO, Jan. 20. Today Chicago experienced all the dlseomtorts of general strike of coal wagon drivers, which, it became known tonight, re sulted from a misinterpretation or mis direction of orders.

The or der was intended to affect only the Chicago Contracting Team Owners" As sociation, Dut oy some mistake was promulgated at many other barns and an immediate coal famine threatened the city. A frantic search for Booth was made by the perplexed coal dealers upon whom no demands were made and by the police at the direction of Mayor Thompson. Booth, however, was not found until late tonight, when he ap peared at a meeting between the mem bers of the executive committee and the coal dealers. Then was explained the cause of the strike.

Boob Has So Place in Educational Sys tem and Risats of Jews Would Be Destroyed, He Says. High school credits for Bible study at home or In Sunday schools, after an examination directed from the office of J. A. Churchill. State Sperintendent of fuouc instruction, as adopted by the Portland School Board at a regular meeting last week, meets with opposi tion in some quarters. A letter has been sent to the School Board by Dr. N. Mosessohn. editor of the Jewish Tri bune, voicing his disapproval of the action and he expresses what is, he be lieves, tne feeling of all Jewish citizens of Oregon. Dr. Mosessohn sneaks, he savs. as a Jew and a rabbi and calls attention to the fact the religious viewpoint of Su perintendent Churchill and other Chris tian school heads Is different from that of the Jewish people, who do not recog nize the divinity of Christ. By his plan, writes Dr. Mosessohn, 'Mr. Churchill may please the Protes tant ministers, but in doing so he surely destroys the rights of religious liberty or tne American citizens who do not belong to the Protestant denominations. The Bible is a religious book and has no place in the public schools from any angle; any more than the Koran, the Book of Mormon, or any other religious work recognized by a religious sect. Xret me hope that your honorable board will rescind your action and will at least, as a matter of fairness and Justice, give an opportunity to those opposed to the plan to be heard on the sion of the matter before final action is taken." Credits for Bible study are optional. It is understood, and may be won by students of the high schools. YOUNG MAN UNBALANCED Marry Ii. Slorse, of Milwaukee, Taken In Charge by Officials.
