OWNERSHIP OF DOG

caused the court officials more hard
work than any case for many a day.
The case involved the ownership Of
the big animal more than IL involved
any criminality on the part Of the
defendant, Mrs. Carrie Vincent, who
was charged with larceny. Everyone
who has heard the case agrees that
both Mrs. Vincent. 10 whom the dog
was awarded by the court. and who
was dismissed from the charge, and
Miss Mary H. Parvis. who claimed the
dog and brought the prosecution TO
recover IL, we're equally absolutely
conscientious in their belief that each
was the real owner of the animal.
Tho dog did not pay much attention
10 the proceedings or any Of those
interested. He showed no preference
for either Miss Parvis or Mrs Vim
cent. but seemed relieved when the
trial was over.
The case was called for a hearing a
week ago, and much testimony was
taken, pro and con, and the hearing
postponed until today. Meanwhile
officer MCDANIEL was directed to
probe the matter and try to produce
evidence which impartially, would aid
in its settlement. Mcdaniel got busy
and this morning produced about
fourteen new witnesses. a bunch OF
photographs which showed Miss Par
Wis and her dog, taken in 1914, and the
microscope. The latter combination
did the work, since II showed white
feet on her dog, and a glance at the
dog in court proved II did not have
white feet.
William Palmer, Mrs. Sarah Hay

Wis, and Thomas Thomas positively
Identified the animal by splints in the
right ear and shot marks on the back
and head, as the property of Miss
Parvis.
Andrew Munden, Walter G. King,
Harry Kienle, Harry Drank and
James Stafford identified It as Mrs.
Vineents dog with equal positiveness,
by some marks they called something
like "dew claws" on its hind feet.
Edward J. Jester DR.. j. r. kuhns,
DR. William NJ. Dickerson, r. Gilpin
Massey and others testified as experts
for one side or the other that the dog
ranged in age from four TO eight
years, and each told why they held
such opinions. Those who said eight
years based their opinion on every
thing from worn-down teeth to corns
on the elbows caused by lying down

LONDON. July 12.-German reform
elements have succeeded In forcing
fbe Kaiser TO summon the crown
prince 10 Berlin so that the heir 10
the German throne shall subscribe TO
constitutional reforms they plan. This
was the explanation received from
Berne today of the heretofore unex-
pllcable summons 10 the German
prince. The kaiser has heretofore
vigorously ignored his eldest son In
governing Germany's internal AFFAIRS.
The Berne report declared tho re-
formists recognized II any changes
were won in Germanys administre-
ton the pledge Of the crown prince,
next on the throne, must be obtained
TO make them permanent.
To British observers today II ap-
peared out OF all the confusion OF re-
ports from Germany that the liberal
movement there had been definitely
advanced Whatever the outcome OF
the present crisis 10 seemed assured
that tho characterization OF Germany
had been brought little nearer. The
road is a very long one as YET, but the
start has been made.
one interesting collateral fact cited
today was the astonishing frankness
OF newspaper comment which had
been permitted by the German censor.
Against this, however, was the in
definite suppression OF one powerful
voice for reform, Maximilllon Harden's
Die Zunkunft- Harden has been
summoned for duty az a military
clerk and his paper stopped. He has
a long record as consistent cam
paigner for democracy. Probably the

ible for his suppression was one last

that she had left word for him to in
quire every day about Miss Hettie Bax-
ter. She found out his name was
julius Frost, and was always glad to
see him, because he brought some mes
sage from her probable adopted moth
er. julius was at first so filled with
remorse at having driven over the girl,
he was more awkward than usual in
expressing himself, but after a time
this wore off bit, and he cheered the
patient with jolly stories, and cheering
promises, of how he wanted to take
her for some rides in that very car
when she was able to go. All this
seemed in Kettles mind to point to the
fact Of probable adoption into the
family.
At last one day Mrs. Burlson came.
She was very pretty, beautifully
gowned young woman, much too young
to be thought of as mother, even an
adopted one, and she spoke to Kettle
in a cold patronizing way that so
crushed and disappointed the girl, that
Julius found her in tears. He was so
kindly sympathetic that he drew from
her the cause. She had hoped to find
some one who would want her,~ even
take her In her home-as her own.
Then Julius found voice for the
words he had wanted to speak.
Little girl" he said, II want you
awfully. I'd take better care of you
than Mrs. Burlson. It wouldn't be lots
Of money but 1t would be a comfy lit
tie fiat for you and me. And she never
could love you half as much as do"
The answer must have been quite
satisfactory, for the day Hettie was
able to leave the hospital on the arm
Of Julius, she was heard to say softly
to him: Honey, this beats getting
adopted like dollars do coppers."
