THAT HOUSE TRANSACTION.
Conditions of the Third Deed In Dewey
Home Transfer.


Washington, Nov. 22.-The deed
conveying the home presented by the
people to Dewey from Mrs. Mildred
Mclean Dewey to George Goodwin
Dewey, the admiral's only son, was
placed on record today. A life inter-
est in the property il reserved by the
admiral and his wife. The instru-
ment bears date of Nov. IA, the same
date borne by the deeds from the adj
miral to Lieut.. Crawford and from
Crawford to Mrs. Dew ey.
In explanation of the transaction
practically completed Yesterday rela-
tive of the Dewey family made this
statement TO the Associated Press:
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey have trans
ferred TO the formers son George
Goodwin Dewey the title to the home
presented to the admiral by the people
of this country. 1t will continue to be
the home of the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey so long as he may live.
1t may be desirable now to say
that it was the wish of both the ad-
miral and Mrs. Dewey TO provide for 4
proper succession to the property. The
transfer of today completes the trans
action begun yesterday, and is the car
rying out only of the original intention
BY all those interested in the matter
the method of transfer adopted was
considered the best and safest that
could have been adopted. Ii was Mrs.
Dewey's desire that she should release
any claim she might have TO the prop
crty through her marriage to the ad-
miral and TO do this the transfer was
made through her TO the admiral's son
as soon as was practicable. Through
the method adopted no dispute ever
can arise over the disposition of the
property"

THREAT OF A MINE STRIKE
Operators Must Help the Miners Defeat
the Southwestern Companies.

Indianapolis, Nov. 22.-President
Mitchell, OF the United Mine Workers,

at once cease sending coal to the NJ. X.
" T., Iron Mountain, NJ. z. and other
Gould lines every union man in the dis
trict Will be called out says Mitchell.
In that case other fields will be in
volved from the Gould system in the
southwest regarding the conference
asked for, nor from the sSusqueLanna
Coal company.
\ statement of this company was is
sued yesterday by Michel, reciting the
facts and saying that "the executive
board beliveS the demand of the min
ers to he eminently fan and just. and
while deprecating the necessity of in
volving men in strikes they are de-
teTmined that in the face of Il rising
market, and considering the prosper
Gus condition of the country. the earn
ings of the miners at Nanticoke and
Glen Lyon should not be lessened by
permitting the company to enforce
conditions of employment that would
be, to say the least. intolerable."
