Indianapolis, Dec. 25.-There are those

ment for their friends, but Mr. and Mrs
Won S. Goetz. of this city, have abou;
the most novel yet reported. When their
friends come in for an evening Mr.. and
Mrs. Goetz ask their dog. Star. a splen-
did English bull, to take a part in the
small talk, and the dog enters into the
spirit of the occasion with right good
will. He chatters away in a manner
amazing, and is Jestlngly referred TO as
the gabby dog in Boswell street"
Star talks. Yes, talks right out in
meeting in a voice that is clear and
understandable. True, his vocabulary
is limited. but what he has TO say is
thoroughly to the point. He knows one
word. and is getting TO be pretty good
on the second. The one word is mamma
The other word is no Pretty soon
he Is going to tackle yes"
When Mr.. Goetz boasts Of owning a
talking dog his friends who do not know
Star only laugh. Then it is that Mr.
Goetz hurries them out to his home IN
Boswell street Star, the big white
bulldog. is then brought forth to back
up the masters assertion that she is
really a talkative dog. Star Is always
ready fm little conversation.
Whom do you love?'' Mr. Goetz will
ask the dog
Mamma, rings out as clear as human
voice ever spoke the same word. II Is
not a cultural, hard-to-understand utter
ance. but a sharp. properly accented
mamma" How he taught the dog tc
say mamma" Mr. Goetz Is unable TO ex-
plain. He did it in a playful way. He
said mamma" and the dog initiated him
at first imperfectly. but the dog now
has the word perfected and Mr.. Goetz
is teaching her to say yes" and no"
Talking is not this wonderful dogs only
point of value. She waltzes. cakewaIks
climbs ladders, carries newspapers back
and forth through the house when com
manded to do 50. and always knows
where they belong. She has a beautiful
collar that is kept In one of the drawers
of the buffet. Star is just proud enough
to refuse to go out in the street without
her collar.
The smart Star has reason TO be smart
She is daughter of Tom, the wonderful
ball-playing dog at the Indianapolis fire
headquarters. Nearly everybody knows
Tom. the dog that can be seen plaving
ball in front Of fire headquarters almost
any summer day. Tom keeps every vis-
itor 20 the engine-house busy at the
game. Star is two and half years old
and has a fine physique. Mr. Goetz has
been offered SEQ for the dog. and only
laughed at the offer.

Road Claims Overcharge.

Instead of probably the collection OF
approximately $4,000 from the Chica-
20. Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railroad
company for back taxes, alleged TO
be due the state on unreported gross
earnings for the years 1898 to 1907,
the railroad company filed its answer
to the state complaint alleging that
the state owes the railroad company
81 .469, 1856, which it declares was
overpaid in taxes during the years
in question. The claim is based on
the fact that the road paid taxes on
interstate business and also on inter
state business whereas the road
claims the license fee law contem'
phase only that it pay taxes on intra'
state business. This means that the
case will undoubtedly go to the United
States supreme court. The law &c
investigate the books of the railway
| company was passed in 1903 and at
the 1905 session of the Legislature an
other statute was enacted directing
! the state to begin action against the
road for back taxes due the state on
unreported gross earnings.

The railroad commission decided
that the law passed at the last session
of the legislature. permitting a shipper
to recover for an oyercharge by

and that the relief sought by many
complaints for oyercharges before the
statute took effect must be denied, In
