Dined in Dewey's Honor

Admiral Kept in Washington by Illness — Warm Tributes.

The Entertainment Club gave a dinner last night in the Hotel St. Regis in honor of Admiral George Dewey. The Admiral was not present, being kept in Washington on account of sickness. Robert B. Roosevelt presided.

Admiral Coghlan represented the navy and told the story of Dewey and Manila Bay.

Stewart L. Woodford said that Admiral Dewey was the first expression of that outreaching American power which is destined to make itself felt in all parts of the world.

Nikola Tesla said he thought Dewey one of the great heroes of history. The toastmaster wanted him to talk about electricity, but he said that was something of which he knew nothing.

Mgr. Vay de Vaya, who is here on a visit from Hungary, also spoke.

Among those present were Perry Belmont. Mr. and Mrs. Mrs. Henry Siegel, Mrs. Rhinelander Waldo and Judge and Mrs. Charles H. Truax.

Mrs. Roswell D. Hitchcock is the president and organizer of the club.
