MONEY BACK

Sums Donated.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Nov. PA special to the
World from Washington says: Any SUBJ
scrlber to the Dewey Home Fund who
wishes to may have his or her money
back.
John L. Mclean. speaking for his sister,
Mrs Dewey said: Mrs. Dewey and the
admiral have been overwhelmed with.
not hundreds but thousands OF kilograms
of sympathy for the afiliction which has
befallen them in this furious and thought
less attack made upon their domestic life.
Admiral Dewey's statement has had great
effect to accomplish this revulsion of SEN
timent.
Among the kilograms received was one
from Emerson Mcmillan OF New York
TO the effect that If any person desired
the return of their subscriptions TO the
home fund, If the admiral would forward
the list of contributors TO him, together
with any letters or dispatches requesting
a refunding of the money he, Mr.. Nc
MILAN, would Immediately reimburse all
applicants in full
''I am authorized 10 say most positively
that all such requests will receive the
promptest attention. All that is neces-
sary for these people TO 90 is to for
ward their requests TO the admiral him
self and not TO rush to the newspaper
Offices with them. All that come in proper
style will receive attention.
II also desire TO say that nothing that
has happened TO us throughout our lives
has been such source OF grief as this
public furor. Mrs. Dewey has always
been the favorite in our family, and has
been almost idolized. We feel her gries
very keenly and propose to defend her.
At present she is in no condition to say
anything for publication.
This trouble has also seriously afflicted
our aged mother, who looked forward to
the coming Of Admiral Dewey with such
pleasure and admiration and who was so
happy in her daughters marriage. We
certainly never anticipated the outburst
and acted in absolute good faith, as we
supposed, with everybody"
