MARTYR OF LEPERS FORMER PRODIGAL, Death of “Brother Joseph” Dutten in Honolulu Bares Life of Sacrifice. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, March 27.—Ira “Brother | Joseph” Dutton, who sought to expiate a worldly life by humble service to the lepers of Molokai, died in a hospital here early today. Dutton would have been 88 years old April 27. His health had bzen failing for the past year. More than half his Hfe had been devoted to the vic- tims of the world’s most loathsome dis- ease when, his eyesight almost gone, he was brought hcre last July that a cataract might be removed from his left eye. Te méver left the hospital again; al- though after several months he gained sufficient strength to sit in a wheel chair, that he might enjoy the beauties of the Hawaiian days from the spacious porches of Queens Hospital and listen to the weekly concerts of the Hawailan Band in the court yard there. He died peacefully at 1:50 a.m. Once, commenting on the approach of his ninetieth birthday he said with a twinkle in his eye that the graph of his life represented “45 years down and 45 years up.” But while the secret of whatever he regarded as his sins was locked within his heart, it was said his conversion at the e of 40 and his desire to become a religious worker were regarded with some doubt by the Trap- pist Brotherhood. With his entrance into the church, Dutton put behind him nearly every- thing relating to his past life. His comrades in the Wisconsin Infantry had known him as a ladies’ man fond of worldly pleasures, Two young lleu- tenants in the Union Army told rue- fully how two girls had failed to keep “dates” with them—they saw the girls some hours later with Sergt. Dutton. Friendship With Veterans. Dutton kept his friendships with to Hawail and the leper settlement, but those were almost his only contact with the world which knew the first four decades of his life. In the Molokai colony he became a disciple of the martyr priest, Father Damien, who died of leprosy three years later in 1889. Dutton never con- tracted the disease, although he lived 44 years In caily contact with its victims. Brother Joseph Was no morn- ful martyr. He found happiness in serving those lepers. Until his eyesight failed, he kept pace with .the world’s affairs through a.dozen carefully selected newspapers and magazines. His personal corre- spondence was one of his greatest joys. He remembered with a card and a bi% of verse the birthday each year of every one of his many friends, and the occasional visitors to the settlement always made pligrimages to his little rough board house, where the Ilittle man with the short gray beard always stood ready to greet them smilingly, blue eyes twinkling behind his gold-rimmed “specs.” Becomes Renowned Humanitarian. By his devotion to the unfortunates of the little leper village of Kalawao, on the Pacific Island of Molokai, Ira | Dutton achieved renown as one of the great humanitarians of modern times. Bearing the ecclesiastical name of Brother Joseph, he went to the leper village in 1886, a comparatively young man, never to return. He served his country in the Civil War and afterward aided the Government in collecting and burying the bodies of his fallen com- rades. Brother Joseph then settled in Memphis, Tenn., and engaged in busi. ness. He was successful and led an forsook the world and entered the Trap- pist mmmr{.u Gethsemane, Ky. Two years later he went to the Re- demptorist Fathers in Louisiana, from whom he first heard of the sacrifices of Father Damien among the lepers of Molokai. The work appealed to him. He wrote to Father Damien and a few months later he was on his way to the little Pacific island. Always_content fo spend his strange life on the secluded spot between the Pacific surf and the walls of volcanic rock that form & perpendicular cliff be- hind Kalawao, Brother Joseph never left the island. Three years after his arrival, upon the death of Father Da- work in the colony, developing a clean, wholesome appearing city. Brother Joseph was born April 27, 1843, at Stowe, Vt. When he was years old his parerys moved to Janes- ville, Wis., and h¥ attended Milton he enlisted as a private in Company B, 13th Wisconsin Infantry, for service in the Civil War, and won' promotions to the rank of captain. For years he re- fused to accept his Civil War pension, but finally took it and then sent each remittance to the convent in Kentucky. , but he elected to continue his work among th lepers to the end. s REMEMBERED BY FEW. Janesville Days of Dutton Between 1846 and 1861 Recalled. JANESVILLE, Wis., March 27 (#)— Few Janesville residents remember Ira Duttcn (Brother Joseph), Trappist lay brother who died at Honolulu yesterday, after spending many yeirs with the lepers of Molokai Island. " Last month Rev. Charles M. Olson, Janesville, and Rev. J. E. Hanz, Beloit, visited Brother Dutton in the hcspital where he died. When they returned recently they said he was quite cheer- ful and happy over their visit. Brother Dutton lived in Janesville from 1846 to 1861, ‘WAS DRINKER AND GAMBLER., Dutton Gave Secret in Letter to News- [ | paper Woman.

I've never told the cause (for his forsaking his worldly life) nor made any excuses, Some time somebody may see it.” Mrs. Onstott sald Brother Joseph never told her what bscame of his wife.

Speaking before the weekly luncheon meeting_of the Cosmopolitan Ciub at the Carlton Hotel yesterday, Assistant United States District Attorney John R.
