LETTER SENT STAR
LOCATES LOST DOG
Pet Missing Three Weeks-Finder
inquiries of Paper for
Owner. -

A letter addressed to The Star sew
eral days ago may be the means of
bringing about a long-delayed fam
ily'' reunion.
Three weeks ago John Connor of
1926 NJ street northwest took Spot"
a pet bulldog belonging to his brother,
r. T. Connor, of the same address, for
a ride in his touring car. Leaving the
dog in charge of the machine for a
few minutes, Mr.. Connor went into a
drug store near 31st. and NJ streets
northwest to make purchase. When
he returned "Spot" was gone.
1t is believed the little dog, chafing
at his benefactors absence, leaped
from the car to look for him, became
lost and was picked up by some
fad to- seareh acse of
and the police were asked to help
find him. Still the dog could not be
located.
Several days ago. however. the fol-
eric ]. Haskin. who conducts an
inquiry column in The Star:
'Mr Frederic Ha-kin:
Can you please tell me the name
and address of the owner of a Boston
bulldog with District of Columbia
tag No. 12445? And if possible if they
want him back and if there is a
reward? Thanking you for an early
reply in The Star, am
- "B. F. s."
A search OF the license records
in the District building soon disclosed
that the dog was owned by r. T.
Connor Of 1926 25th street northwest.
When interviewed he explained how
the dog Spot" had ,strayed from
the car and the fruitles search that
has been in progress ever since.
my greatest concern" he said, has
been that the little chap might not
have gotten a. good home. I am de-
lighted to know he is safe, and If
B. r. IS. will communicate with me
Immediately there will be a reward
awaiting him"

DE E r ROUNDUP
FAILS BECAUSE OF
HEAVY SNOWFALL
By United Press Leased Wire

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. lS,-
Blocked by heavy snow in the
Kaibab national game reserve, the
great deer roundup started curly
i'll the week has failed. Indians
and cowboys engaged in the task
returned here today.
Under tie leadership of George
Mccormick, the men attempted 20
herd together from five to eight
thousand head of wild deer and
drive them across the Colorado riv-
er to green pastures.
The snow drifts made travel i'm
possible, and che deer could not be
surrounded, the exhausted men re-
ported on returning here.
Probability that thousands of
the deer will starve to death dur
ing the winter was admitted. The
r1serve contains approximately 30,-
900 head, and the idea back Of
the drive was to split the herd so
there might be enough forage for
all With the roundup a failure,
there is not enough available fcod
in the reserve for half the animals,

Congress Will Not Fall in Line
With Coolidge on His Navy Policy

WASHINGTON, Dec.s 1S.-Con-
grcss wAl not entirely fall IN line
with President 'eoolfdge on his pos
licy of discouraging Investigations
into the condition of the navy and
comparisons of its strength with
navies of other world powers.
Evidence of this was given when
the house naval affairs committee
wmt ahead with its prearrauged
plan to question Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur as to whose fault It
is, if any one ), that the navy is
below par. The committee sum
moned Wilbur last week at the
height of the talk about the ''la
mentable' condition Of the attlt
and auxiliary fleets. Meanwhile
the President let it be known that
he opposed such inquiries. Wilbur
and staff of experts, however,
appear before the committee today.
The President deplores the en-
grossment of congress and the neo-
pie on the subject of the navy S
condition first, because the admin
istration is satisfied that the navy
is all right and the treaty ratio is
being maintained, and, second, he
cause foreign powers are looking at
this country's naval discussions
with good deal of uneasiness.
The administrator can sympathize
with the attitude of foreign pow
ers, which see the United States,
the most powerful nation on earth,
giving much of its time to the ques-
tion of armaments. They look at
their own defenses and before long

sums of money in the house.
"Get it then, - Critchlow demand

the promoter, after assuring himself
that Cryer was not joking, told him
he would have the money for him if

Then the mayor called for his
