TRIBUTE TO HERO
Midshipmen Escort Body of
Admiral Dewey to Final
Rest in Arlington.
GUNS BOOM OUT SALUTE
Thousands See Funeral Procession
of Great Naval Officer After
Solemn Ceremonlea Officials
of Higli Rank Attend.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. Admiral
George Dewey, hero of the battle of
Manila Bay, and the world's ranking
naval officer, waa burled at Arlington
National Cemetery today after solemn
ceremonies, reflecting the Nation's final
tribute of honor and affection.
Two services were held, the first a
private home ceremony, and the second
an impressive service In the rotunda
of the Capitol, where the President, the
Supreme Court, the Cabinet, the Senate
and House, the diplomatic corps and
others prominent In official and civil
life, went to honor publicly the dead
hero.
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.
Thousch arranged with care to ex
press a National tribute, the funeral
and burial ceremonies were both sim
ple and brief. There was no funeral
oration at the home or the CapitoL
Both services were conducted according
to Kpiscopal rites, the first being read
by Er. Roland Cotton Smith, the fam
ily minister, and the second by Chap
lain J. B. Frazier, who was the Olynv
oia's chaplain at Manila Bay. Chap
lain Frazier also conducted the com
mitment service when the body was
laid in the mausoleum.
Government Halts Work.
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.
One huge gold crescent holding hun
dreds of American Beauty roses was
mresented by the officers of the At
lantic fleet.
Secretary Daniels had invited all
living former Secretaries of the Navy
and their assistants to attend the
burial services, and among those who
came were Charles J. Bonaparte, Her
bert L. Satterlee. Charles H. Allen and
Frank W. Hackett-
The bodv-bearers were under com
mand of W. Roberts, of the Mayflower,'
and were R. Flannagan, A. C ward,
J. J. Windmiller, O. Lint, W. E. A.
tr..H. 1 r ft T vnn nf f H Afjlv-

more than a year," Dr. Porter told the
police.
"I had been sitting for' about three
months, when I had the time. 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 Ktrik war
called by William Booth, president of
the Chicago Coal Teamsters local union
No 704, without the knowledge, it waa
eald, of the executive board. 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.
The grievance against the Contract
ing Team Owners' Association was al
leged overwork of drivers, for which
more pay was demanded.
Mayor Thompson said the strike was
over.

DR.
MOSESSOHX SAYS ACTION
SCHOOL BOARD XTSfJUST.
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.

If you want to keep your hair In good
condition, be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulslfled
cocoanut oil (which Is pure and entirely
greaseless) is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can"t possibly Injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It in. One or two teaspoonfule
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses tne nair and scalp j
thoroughly. The lather rinses out eas- j
ily and removes every particle of dust, I
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair-dries Quickly ana evenly, and it,
leaves it fine and silky, iright. fluffy,
and easy to manage. j
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It Is very cheap, '
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
