# BUTTE GAVE $2,540 FOR IRISH RELIEF ## Financial Report of Local Committee Made at Meeting Last Evening. Since the Easter Sunday uprising last [May?] of Dublin, Ireland, patriotic [citizens?] of Butte and sympathetic [Americans?] have forwarded through [Thomas?] Kelly, national treasurer of the [Irish?] relief fund in New York, the sum of $2,540 for the relief of the dependents of Irishmen who died in the [insurrection?] or were imprisoned afterwards. This contribution from Butte [compares?] very favorably with the donations from the other cities of the United States. Mr. Kelly to whom the money is sent is the son of the well-known New York banker, Eugene [Kelly?]. Mr. Kelly and Joseph [illegible] attempted to land in Ireland last summer for the purpose of looking after the distribution of the funds but were stopped at Liverpool and [could?] not return to Ireland. [A list?] of contributions in Butte [was?] made by the local branch of the Friends of Irish Freedom, which does work and is no wise connected with the Butte Catholic churches. The [largest?] single donation was donated by the divisions of the Hibernians, the Ancient Order Foresters association, the Shamrock and Wolfe Tone football clubs and individual contributors. Following is the financial report to [date?] as made at the meeting of the committee last evening at John J. [illegible's?] office: **Financial Statement.** Butte Irish Relief committee of Butte, Montana, hereby submits the following statement of receipts and disbursements from its formation, on or about June 1916, to date.

Dewey, Rear Admiral, U.S.N.*] *McTavish June 13* # GRATEFUL NATION PAYS A LOVING TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF GEO. DEWEY ## 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. Washington, Jan. 18.—Admiral Dewey has been laid to rest today with all the honors a grateful nation can bestow. The funeral services were conducted under the dome of the capitol and attended by President Wilson, his cabinet, the supreme court, the diplomatic corps and a notable company. The Admiral's body was then 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 first captain, and Capt. Asa Walker, commander of the Concord—were buried not far away on the wooded slopes where the Admiral will rest. **Services at the Home.** Private services at the home were attended by President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and a limited company. The coffin was then removed to the capitol. All business of the government was suspended and all places of private business in Washington closed for an hour. The [illegible] American naval ship on the Potomac, the yacht Sylph, with a staff mast and an admiral's pennant, and then came the entire corps of midshipmen from Annapolis, who came as sailor men, but as Admiral Dewey's friends, as he [was?] very warmly connected to the rotunda of the capitol, where Chaplain H. 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 rejoined it on the way to Arlington. The private services at the home were begun promptly at noon and at [illegible] thereafter a procession of midshipmen and naval and military bands marching along Massachusetts avenue for [illegible?] until they turned into the capitol, where the body was placed on a catafalque and laid 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 inside the bar. The supreme court justices, the department heads, the chief of staff of the army, the committee representatives of both branches of congress and officers of the army and navy were present. It was no formal occasion and the occasion as the admiral had wished, very simple. After the reading of the funeral service a quartette 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 [lawn?] were joined by the remainder of the military escort. Six companies of the [illegible?] were followed by [midshipmen?] from the Arkansas; companies of marines; the yacht Dolphin and the presidential yacht Mayflower; then [came?] army engineers from the Washington Barracks and then two companies of cavalry from Fort Myer completed the escort. **The Funeral Procession.** Moving out over the plain, the funeral procession turned into Pennsylvania avenue and traveled up it, which was the scene of Admiral Dewey's victorious home coming, the most [patriotic?] and greatest scene in American history. Following an escort of police rode the fleet with Chaplain Frazier, the Chaplain read the admiral's casket [draped?] with an American flag. [Following?] nearby [horses?] came from the Dolphin and Mayflower, and the Olympia's band and Naval band just behind. A color [guard?] tread just behind. A color bearer followed and then members of the admiral's family and the members of the cabinet; then followed members of the admiral's family and the members **Congress Adjourns.** The president and both chambers remained standing as the casket was carried down the steps of the capitol and from where the procession started for the final [illegible?] bill. 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 Marine memorial plot where are buried the [commanders?] of that ship and to the [mausoleum?] where Admiral Dewey's body will rest near 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 army-military portion of the escort took positions at the gate, and only the naval [officers?] accompanied the casket to the door of the [crypt?]. There was no [illegible] volley, as was the custom, followed by the bugles sounding taps; the guns of arsenal and the army and navy officers passed through, while the batteries at Fort Myer loaned a 19-gun salute. As the body was carried the casket from the caisson the Annapolis band broke into "My Own United States." The reading of the service followed immediately and the naval [riflemen?] then fired three volleys. Charles Mitchell, the [illegible?] officer of the Olympia at Manila bay, stood at attention; then the bugler broke out main with a [clear?] call. Chaplain Frazier read the Episcopal funeral service throughout with the interruption of a special prayer. **HIS MEMORY HONORED BY TROOPS ON BORDER** El Paso, Jan. 20.—Under dull skies thousands of soldiers on the Mexican border here today stood at attention while other thousands of civilians bared their heads and faced the south as military bands in the Plaza, at the army posts in the city, slowly played the dirge from the oratorio Saul in memory of Admiral Dewey. Brigadier General [Heil?] issued a proclamation to the citizens of his district to participate in the memorial ceremony. Mayor Tom Lee 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, offices and factories suspended work. The half-masting of flags at the army camps and in the city continued at and [for?] half an hour beginning at 2 o'clock a. m., commencing time. The Mexican flag at the Carranza consulate was flown at half-mast for one hour by order of [Andres?] Garza, treasurer general of Carranza consulate. --- THE BUTTE DAILY POST POSTS YOU ON THE NEWS --- [Advertisement at bottom center:] *Clara Kimball Young in "The Common Law," starting Saturday, at the American theater, starting next Saturday.* Butte's first superfeature, "The Common Law," starring Clara Kimball Young in her own company at the American theater, starting next Saturday. --- ## Column 3 (Right) # LOOK!
