DEWEY Washington, Jan. 10 [sic].—Admiral Dewey was laid to rest today with all the honors a grateful nation can bestow. After funeral services conducted under the dome of the capitol and attended by President Wilson, the cabinet, the supreme court, the diplomatic corps and a notable company, the admiral's body was taken to Arlington National cemetery to rest with those of naval heroes gone before. Two of Dewey's commanders at the battle of Manila bay—Benjamin P. Lamberton, the fleet captain, and Capt. Joseph Coghland [sic] of the cruiser Raleigh lie near by. Not far away on the wooded slopes rest Schley and Sampson. ### Services at the Home. Private services at the home were attended by President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and a limited company. The funeral party then moved to the capitol. All business of the government was suspended for the day; all private business in Washington stopped for an hour. On every American naval ship on the seven seas an ensign fluttered at half mast and an admiral's salute of 19 guns was fired. The entire corps of midshipmen from Annapolis, who came not under orders but as Admiral Dewey's friends, as he had wished, escorted the body to the rotunda of the capitol, where Chaplain J. B. Frazier, chaplain of the Olympia at Manila bay, conducted brief and simple funeral services. Mrs. Dewey did not accompany the funeral party to the capitol, but joined it on the way to Arlington. The private services at the home were begun promptly at 10 o'clock. Soon thereafter a procession of midshipmen escorting the admiral's body moved along Massachusetts avenue for the plaza of the [sic] and into the rotunda, where the body was placed on a catafalque directly under the great dome. ### At the Capitol. President Wilson and the cabinet assembled in the president's room on the senate side and marched to their places beside the bier. The supreme court justices, the department corps, the chief of staff of the army, the committees representing both houses of congress and officers of the army and navy followed. There was no funeral oration and the occasion as the admiral wished was very simple. After the reading of the funeral service a quartet sang "Lead Kindly Light," and "Abide With Me," the admiral's favorite hymns. While the services under the dome of the capitol were proceeding, the midshipmen, drawn up on the plaza, were joined by the remainder of the military escort. Six companies of marines, a battalion of bluejackets from the Arkansas; companies of seamen from the gunboat Dohphin [sic] and the presidential yacht Mayflower, a company of army engineers from the Washington barracks and two companies of cavalry from Fort Myer composed the escort. ### The Funeral Procession. Moving out over the plaza, the funeral procession turned into Pennsylvania avenue and traveled the route which was the scene of Admiral Dewey's victorious home coming from the battle which opened a new epoch in American history. Following an escort of police rode Chaplain Frazier; then came a gun caisson bearing the admiral's casket draped with an American flag. Twelve body bearers, seamen from the Dolphin and Mayflower, marched with measured tread just behind. A color bearer with an admiral's flag at half mast came next. Then followed members of the admiral's family and the members ## Column 3 Services Are Held at Dewey Home, Then a Public Funeral Ceremony in the Capitol. Remains Are Laid to Rest in Arlington, Near Those of Two of Dewey's Officers in Battle of Manila Bay. of the naval general board of which he was head. A party of survivors of the Battle of Manila bay marched next. Officers and enlisted men of the army, navy, marine corps and coast guard service marching in inverse order of rank were followed by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, Secretary Daniels and finally President Wilson. The remainder of the funeral cortege was composed of the cabinet, diplomatic corps, the congressional committees, members of patriotic societies and delegations of citizens. The casket while it rested in the capitol rotunda was draped with an American flag, and resting on it was Admiral Dewey's sword, while surrounding the casket were masses of flowers. First to enter the rotunda were the special committee of the house and senate, followed by members of both chambers. The diplomatic corps were ushered to places near the section occupied by the senate. When they had been seated the booming of a signal gun on the capitol plaza heralded the arrival of the funeral cortege. The assemblage stood while the casket was borne into the rotunda and placed on the catafalque. When the admiral's flag had been spread at the head of the casket Chief Justice White and the associate justices of the supreme court arrived. They were followed by President Wilson and the members of the cabinet. Chaplain Frazier read the Episcopal [illustration, spans columns 3-4: framed photograph, dark, lettered on a scroll "CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG in The Common Law SELZNICK PICTURES"] Butte's first super-picture, "The Common Law," starring Clara Kimball Young in her own company at the American theater, starting next Saturday. ## Column 4 funeral service throughout with the interpolation of a special prayer. ### Congress Adjourns. The president and other dignitaries remained standing as the casket was carried to the caisson in the capitol plaza, from where the procession moved off down capitol hill. As a further mark of respect the house and senate returned to their respective halls and adjourned until Monday. The funeral procession entered Arlington cemetery a little more than an hour after it started from the capitol. Passing through the gates, the procession passed the Maine memorial plot where are buried the unknown dead of that ship and to the mausoleum erected for Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, where Admiral Dewey's body will repose until the memorial amphitheater is finished. ### The Navy Service. The regulation navy commitment service was read by Chaplain Frazier at the mausoleum. To accord with the admiral's wish for a simple funeral, most of the units of the strictly military portion of the escort took up positions at the gate, and only the midshipmen accompanied the casket to the door of the vault. The future admirals lined the roadway as the caisson, followed by the president and cabinet, the congressional and the army and navy officers, passed through, while the batteries at Fort Myer boomed a 19-gun salute. As the body bearers lifted the casket from the caisson the Annapolis band broke into "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The reading of the service followed and then a firing squad of midshipmen gave three volleys. Charles Mitchell, chief master-at-arms of the Olympia at Manila bay, blew taps and then the batteries broke out again with the salute of 19 guns. The services were over and the ad- ## Column 5 [advertisement, spans columns 5-7] # LOOK! LOOK!

Brigadier General Bell issued a memorandum ordering all soldiers in his district to participate in the memorial ceremony. Mayor Tom Lea issued a proclamation calling upon all citizens to join in honoring the hero of Manila bay. At a prearranged signal all trains, street cars, automobiles and other traffic in the city stopped; stores closed and factories shut down for five minutes, while flags at the army camps and in the city were placed at half mast for one hour beginning at 9 o'clock a. m. (mountain time.) The Mexican flag at the Carranza consulate was also dropped at half mast for one hour by order of Andres Garcia, inspector general of Carranza consulates.

We have already dealt England mightly [sic] blows in cruiser warfare, and it is technically possible to augment our achievements but the chief thing is commercial warfare.
