ADMIRAL DEWEY DIES
IN WASHINGTON CITY
Famous Hero of Manilla Bay
Was the World’s Ranking
Naval Officer
Washington, Jan. 16.—Ad
miral George Dewey, the na
tion’s Spanish war hero, and
by priority of grade, the rank
ing naval officer of the world,
died at his home here at 5:66
tonight in his eightieth year.
He had been unconscious since
yesterday when he lapsed into
coma, still believing that in a
few days he would be back at
his desk in the Navy Depart
ment.
A general breakdown, ac
companied by hardening of the
arteries incident to old age,
was the cause of death. The
disease had been gradually
spreading its hold upon the
powerful body for a year and a
half, but the admiral, proud of
his physical vigor, had fought
it off and even kept its exis
tence a secret from most of his
friends. Wednesday he was at
his office apparently hale and
hearty. The next day he col
lapsed as he was preparing to
leave the house.
Mrs. Dewey and the admir
al’s son, George, were at the
bedside.
The funeral probably will
take place Saturday. The body
will be buried at Arlington
National Cemetery.
Admiral George Dewey,
“hero of Manilla Bay,” fought
and won the first great Ameri
can naval battle against a foi
eign foe since the War of 1812.
His life ws a striking exempli
fication of the possibilites of a
career based on the exact and
intelligent performance of ev
ery routine duty, which molds'
a man on inflexible lines of
duty and honor.

ADMIRAL GEO. W. DEWEY
From a Photograph Taken Shortly After the Famous Battle of
Manilla Bay
$200,000 CUT OFF
HOSPITAL EXPENSES
Board of Control Has Saved
State That Amount in
Past Two Years
At the present rate of in
crease, in eight years there
will be 4,000 patients in the
State Hospital for Nervous Dis
eases, according to the bien
nial report of the Board of
Control, filed in the governor’s
office at Little Rock a few days
ago.
The report shows that a sav
ing of $200,000 has been made
by the Board in the operating
expenses of the hospital during
the past two years, as compar
ed with operating expenses for
the two years preceeding.
“The legislature of 1913 ap
propriated for the State hos
pital for the use of the old
board of trustees such an
amount as was considered nec
essary to run the institution for
two years,’’ said the report,
“and none of it was vetoed.
When the legislature of 1915
met a deficiency bill for $110,
000 was presented and passed.
“The legislature of 1915 ap
propriated for our board $737,
391, which was considered suf
ficient to run the institution for
the biennial period. The gov
ernor vetoed $141,620 of this
appropriation and we will have
a deficiency of about $40,000.
“We have $150,000 in other
funds that will revert to the
State treasury, so we will close
the biennial period with all
bills paid, with $100,000 less
than the legislature of 1915 ap
propriated for the institution,
which is a showing in our favor
| of not less than $200,000. In
addition, the government esti
mates that the cost of living,
including foodstuffs, has in
creased 44 per cent during the
biennial period.’’
The board’s report gave a
resume of the hospital super
intendency troubles of the last
two years, and said that nego
tiations with Dr. M. B. Hey
man, assistant superintendent
of the Central Islip State Hospi
tal at Central Islip,Long Island,
N. Y., still were pending. The
report said neither Dr. Frank
B. Young nor Dr. E. P. Bled
soe, in opinion of the board,
was qualified to handle the in
stitution.
That a former superinten
dent and others prejudiced
against the board had endeav
ored to “queer” the contract
between th« board and Dr.Hey
man. was declared in the re
port.
“We were advised by an
anonymous telephone call that
certain parties, together with
a former superintendent, would
try to “queer” Dr. Heyman’s
return to the State,” said the
report. “We are sure that Dr.
Heyman has been advised he
would not be retained by the
incoming administration. We
have the matter up with him
again and believe that the ad
ministration and the State will
get behind the matter and that
we will secure Dr. Heyman’s
services.”
Sixy per cent of the inmates
of the institution can do some
kind of work, the report s&u
in urging that an adequate
farm, to be operated in connec
tion with the institution.be pur
chased. The board’s report said
that 500 patients were able to
do light farm work and that
another 500 could learn other
occupations, and declared that
suitable work would be a valu
able adjunct to obtaining re
coveries.
Buildings at the institution
are crowded to capacity, the
report said, and are poorly
equipped to preventlfires.Meas
ures to eliminate danger and
possible loss of life are urged.
Erection of a warehouse on
a railroad near the hospital, to
enable the board to buy sup
plies in carload lots, store them
in the warehouse and distribute
to the several charitable insti
tutions, was recommended. The
board .estimated that it could
save virtually $100,000 every
two years by purchasing sup
plies in wholesale lots.
The board asked for a $20,
000 appropriation to drive deep
wells, declaring that the prices
paid for city water are exorbit
ant. “The water bill at the hos
pital is about 600 a month, or
$7,200 a year,” said the report.
This is a six per cent invest
ment on $120,000.

FAIR EXCHANGE
A New Back For An Old One.
How It Can Be Done in
Newark
The back aches at times with
a dull, indescribable feeling,
making you weary and restless
piercing pains shoot across the
region of the kidneys,and again
the loins are so lame that to
stoop is agony. No use to rub
or apply a plaster to the back
if the kidneys are weak. You
cannot* reach the cause.Newark
residents would do well to pro
tit by the following example.
Mrs. M. Porter, 416 Hazel
St., Newport, Ark., says: “I
had a constant ache inthesmall
of my back. Stooping or lifting
made me suffer intensely and
I felt languid and worn-out
most of the time. My kidneys
didn’t act as they should. A
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills
treed me of the ailments.”
I’rice 50c, at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mrs. Por
ter had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
