An Interesting feature that snnaks for
itself in connection with the three Dewey
deeds now on file with the recorder of
deeds. was noted this afternoon. The first
deed filed. that hy which George Dewey ct

which George Dewey and Mrs Net@t.I ts1rn
over the title to George q. Dewey were
both. ACCORDING to the dates as set forth
in the papers. ckMDviedsed the Iith INK
slant. In other words il would seem that
Crawford trar sferred the property to Mrs.
Dewey. and the later in turn /, George G.
Dewey. two days before Admiral Dewey
transferred the title to Crawford.

following explanation from relative Of
the Dewey family:
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have transfer

i''"eN' the utie 10 the nome presented TO
the admiral by the people of this country.
1t Will continue to be the home of the adj
miral and Mrs. Dewey 50 long as he may
live.
1T may be desirable now to say that II
was the wish Of both the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey To provide for a proper succession
to the property The transfer Of today
the transaction begun Yesterday
and is the carrying out only of the original
intention of both the admiral and Mrs
Dewey. BY all those interested In the mat
ter, the method Of transfer adopted was
the best and safest that could
have been adopted. 1t is to be considered
thdt the transfer was To be the
act of Mrs Dewey, as well as Of he adni-
raj. 1t was her desire that she should "a
lease any claim she might have to the
property through her marriage to the adj
.uiral and to do this the transfer was made
through her to the admiraTs son as soon
as was practicable Through the method
adupted no DISPUTE ever can artsa over tho
