What. interview dog
Absurd!
NTrue, one cannot expect any cru
dite revelations on abstruse. subjects
in an interview with n dog Never
theless it is a fact that Dom the Ger
man hunting dog at Proctor's Park
Place Theatre, can utter some words
And hence, Just as he enjoys the
proud distinction of being, probably
the first dog that has ever been able
to speak since the Dog Star frs oN'
changed coquettish chances with
Orion, the huntsman of the skies, Sc
is 1t my unspeakable happiness to
have been perhaps, the first reporter
ever to have Interviewed q dog.
Dons owner, Frau Martha Haber-
land, was present at the interview
and helped 1t along considera bly,
whenever 1t dragged. But, all in all,
the experience was novel and afford
cd much food for unusual reflection.
If a dog can talk, then why not also
think? And, if he can think, then
what becomes of the boosted pre-
rogative of man? For, TO think is
to reason; and, if Don shares that
faculty with man. there will be need
of some rather radical readiusting of
our PHILOSOPHERS.
Don uttere only eight words. true
to his nativity ut Kolbitz- Lott, inser
heath, near Hanover, these words are
German. They are Hunger (hun-
gerl; "haben'' Ito have: "kuche n
(cake); "Roubler (Russian money!
"Ruhe' (rest) and his own name and
that of his master, Haberland-Carl
Johannes Haberland, husband of the
brilliantly handsome and accomplish
ed young woman who so graciously
acted as interpreter at the interview.
about eight and half years ago,
said Frau Haberland, when Don
was six months old, he came into the
room where we were dining, at the
house of my father, the Royal For
ester Ebers, and put his paw upon
the table.

That was he beginning of Don's
career as o linguist. As his voeab-

ness called by Mr.. Bradner for the
defense. He denied the statement
made by Gurey that Wheaton's car
was used to convey Oil TO the sta
ton about October 9, 1919
When Wheaton was turned over to
Counsel Frying for cross examine
ton, the lawyer compelled the wit
ness to give a detailed description of
the incidents attending the fishing
trip to Avon 1t was on this excur-
sion that number of city officials
were OhIs guests.
The witness admitted that he was
among the guests who remained at
the Oil cottage overnight. He also
told of seeing May Burns come into
the cottage to pack UP few
things" She left the house after a
short time, said Wheaton.
License Inspector William r.
Roebling, another guest on the, fish
ing trip, was called TO tell what he
observed while at the Oil cottage.
, The inspector asserted that he did
not STAY over night at the cottage
and that while he was there no wom-

Visited Iryington Tavern,
Wincklhofer was forced to tell
much more of the details of the Perth
Amboy trip when Attorney Frying
started the cross-examination. He
admitted that Obi, the two women
and himself spent several hours in
the Speedway Tavern, Irvington, be-
fore they made a start for Perth
Amboy. At the tavern the party in
dulged in quite a few drinks, said
the witness.
Attorney Fryling asked the witness
who the two young women were.
Wincldhofer stated that they were
May Burns, the correspondent, and a
witness declared that he paid more
attention to Miss Ford during the
affair than he did to Miss Burns.
Sometime between 1880 and 1890
o'clock that night the quartet started
for Perth Amboy in Ohl's machine.
Wincklhofer fixed the date of this
trip as March IL, 1911. That was his
birthday and the gathering was II
celebration of the event, he stated.
Frederick w. Thcberath, a director
of the Oil Manufacturing Company,
testified to an alleged quarrel be-
| tween George A. Oil, jr., and Charles
Boice, a chauffeur employed by Obi.
He heard angry words pass between
| the two men, and also heard Boice
humble that he would get even. y
This chauffeur was one of the most
important witnesses against Oil at
the hearing Monday.
To refute the testimony given previ-
/ ously that Oil did not collect any
rent from May Burns or her relatives
for their occupancy OF apartments In
his house at 359 Washington street
Mr.. Bradner called John S. La Barr

The witness admitted that he die

desirable
Many persons do not like to sleep in
Steanl-heated bedrooms yet the chill of the
morning air is none too comfortable in the

Sometimes little more heat would feel
fine in the liying-room, or the sewing-room
or the library, or the bathroom.
You can secure just the extra heat you
want by using gas heater. They can be had
at all kinds of prices, and, with gas at 90
