DEWEY ACCEPTS The HOUSE
Receives il as Gift from Over Forty Thou
sand Americans.
PR FERs A READY-BULT RESIDENCE
Indicates His Choice TO the Commit.
tee in Charge of the Fund-wants
20 Move In Soon as
Possible.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Admiral Dewey
has elected to accept a house in Washington,
already constructed, instead of having one
built for his occupation. In compliance with
the invitation Of the committee which has
In charge the Dewey home work he called
at the office of Acting Secretary Allen in the
Navy department at IL o'clock today to in
dicate his preferences in the matter of a
residence. There we're present besides Mr..
Allen Assistant Secretary Vanderlip. As
sistant Postmaster General Heath and Gem
eral Corbn.
The admiral was officially informed of the
purpose Of the people OF the United States
to present him with home in Washington
He frankly expressed his qualification at the
tender, which he Immediately accepted He
said, had the proposed home been the gift of
few wealthy men, ne should feel indisI
posed to accept 1t. But he understood the
fund had over $1,000 subscribers, Indicating
that the home was really to be the gift Of
the American people, and as such he would
accept it with as much pleasure as he had
the sword bestowed upon him by congress.
He then talked upon the location of the
residence
The admiral showed decided preference
for the section in which he had made his
home during his former detail of duty in
Washington. He wished the house to be
located in the northwest section somewhere
west of Sixteenth street, and not too far
north, thus indicating the neighborhood OF
his former residence and the clubs where
he had spent a good deal of his leisure time
First of all, he wanted the house at the
earliest possible moment, SO that he might
go in and hang up his hat at once" as he
put it. OF course that precluded the idea OF
erecting house to meet his special need.
He expressed his ideas as to the characte er
OF the home he desires and asked that the
house be modest enough in appointments
and cost to permit OF the retention of suffi-
cient sum of money from the purchase fund
to defray the expense Of furnishing it.
The committee listened attentively to all
Of these wishes and saw no reason why each
and all could not be gratiied, The admiral
is going to New York tomorrow and will
stop over IL possible to see the yacht races
on his way to 'Shelburn Farms, VT. He ex-
poets to return to Washington within a
week. Meanwhile the house committee,
having invited written proposals OF proper
ties, will go through the list carefully and
hopes to be able to present to the admiral
on his return as many as half dozen avail
able houses, from which he may make a
personal selection.
The fund at the disposal OF the committee
now amounts to $4,000 and 1t Is earnestly
desired that this sum may be substantially
increased during the time remaining before
the purchase
