DOG AND CASH STOLEN.

Jerry Murphy, who offers "Jerry's
Famous Hot Dogs" for sale from the
south end Of the Highway Bridge, is
looking for another dog that's mot
so hot"
This was mostly because, in addition
to the hot dogs for his regular GUS
toners, Jerry kept police dog es-
pecially for burglars.
Sunday night, Jerry explained, they
called on him.
And instead of taking the usual mus
tard and onions, the burglars took
Jerry's police dog, with plenty OF
money.
That dog was not so hot" Jerry
told police. but what about the $120
1 had in the cash register?"
The police, incidentally, are still
looking for the answer.

it is not likely to be the one submitted

questions he was asked when he was

Capitol Hotel Co.. the firm which has
been operating the Willard, said he
had received an offer for the willard

The present hotel was built in three
sections-the first, in 1901, at the
northwest corner Of Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, site of the
original Wizards Hotel; the second an
extension to F. street shortly after, and
a third addition on F street was erected
about three years ago.
The first hotel on the site was John
Strother's Mansion House, which was
taken over by Basil Williamson in 1924.
In the 30s Azariah Fuller was the pro-
prietor, and he changed the name to
the Mansion House, but later this name
was changed to the City Hotel, and it
was known by this name when the
Willards, Edwin D. and Henry A., took
it over in 1847. They gave their name
to the hotel upon taking 1t over.
The hotel has been host to Lafayette,
Presidents Taylor, Pierce, Buchanan
Lincoln. Grant, Harding. Coolidge and

Woman Visitor Here
Insists Upon Seeing
"The" Bureau Chief

Mrs. Moses Sweet came to Washing
ton yesterday looking for 'the bureau
chief" and steadfastly resisted the no
ton that there were several Of the
aforesaid officials hereabouts.
Mrs. Sweet planted herself on the
front steps Of the Nations Capital,
which seemed a likely place, and there
she sat while Capitol guards and an
agent from the Travellers Aid Society
discoursed on the multiplicity of "bu-
reau chiefs" to no avail.
"NeedIe in Haystack."
Looking for an unidentified bureau
chief in Washington" said the guard,
"is like looking for a needle in hay
stack, only worse. You better 60 home"
This Mrs. Sweet declined to do. Her
husband, she explained, had been COM
mitted to the State Hospital at Harris
burg. Pa, and she wanted the bureau
chief" in Washington to get him out
again.
On her arrival here Mrs. Sweet,
about As years old, of German-Serbian
extraction, presented card to the
Travellers Aid agent, Miss Edna
Schneider. inscribed with the words
bureau chief"
Stopped ON Steps.
"I want to find him now" she said,
because he helped us when our barn
burned down." The woman was d.
rected to the office Of Senator Ware of
Pennsylvania, but she got only to the
front steps of the Capitol.
It took the combined persuasion of
the guards and, finally, Miss Schneider,
to convince the woman her mission was
fruitless, and she left for Pennsylvania
late yesterday afternoon still muttering
her disappointment over missing the
