THREE RoBBERIEs REPORTED
Two Houses Rnnsacked While Fami-
lies Were at Dinner


William B. Lowery, of SO4 East Wash
ington Park, Benning, and Lamberton
Doolittle. of 9l7 b Street northeast. re-
ported to the police yesterday that they
had lost property. including money, as the
result of work by thieves.
Mr.. Lowery says that a thief entered
his home while he was at dinner and
stole from a bedroom solid gold watch,
a gold pin. and a razor. The whole Is
valued at 81. No clue has yet developed
to the thieves, but an investigation is
being made.
Mr. Doolittle believes about $50 has
been taken from his home. He is on the
point of moving, and necessarily a por-
ton of his belongings are in a rather con-
fused state. Yesterday Mr.. Doolttle
missed pocketbook containing the mon
ey and he has not yet been able to find it.
A detective visited him and the investi-
cation of the loss will be continued this
morning
The residence of Ernest L. Dodd 1871 f
Street northwest. was also robbed yes
terday and several rooms r&nsacked. The
family was at dinner shortly after 4
o'clock, when the thieves entered the
house supposedly by means of a rear
window. On the upper floors Of the house
signs are abundant of the work of thieves.
Bureaus in several rooms are in confu-
sion. Beds Were disturbed and paper was
torn and left on the floor. From a cabinet
the thieves secured about $35 in money.
II is thought they became frightened and
made off before completing their work,
for property of value was left untouched
in several of the rooms visited.
A servant in the house discovered the
robbery and informed Mr. Dodd. The
Third precinct policemen were sent for
and a detective was summoned from
headauarters 1t developed that one of
the servants in the house had seen man
issuing from the library on the second
floor of the house during the dinner hour
No description of this man could be OBJ
tanned last night. however, as the ser
want says he disappeared Immediately
into a room on one side of the hallway
