Captive Collie Pines for Home
Collie and Joseph McGinty keeper of the dog pound.
Collie wants a good home, preferably in the country. It’s hot out there In the scorching sun of the dog pound yard, the present habitation of Collie, and she wants to find the cooling shade of some friendly porch on the farm where she can find comfort. Collie is an old gentle dog. and hpr career has been filled with disappointments ; that's why she is now an inmate of the dog pound. She likes to romp with children, but there are no children at the dog pound, only frisky, yelping pups and some other breeds of canines. Mrs. Dorothy Lnntz, secretary of the Indianapolis Humane society, under whose special care Collie has come, and Joseph McGinty, keeper of the dog-pound, both are hoping that some kindly-hearted farmer will take Collie home with him.

Demands Accounting in Folsom Estate A suit has been instituted in the superior court, room 2, by the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, administrator of the estate of Mary E It. Folsom, against Edson F. Folsom and his wife, Mary E. 11. Folsom. The plaintiff asks that Folsom, who Is a son of the late Mrs. Folsom, who died last February, be required to give an accounting of his administration of the estate of his mother and also asked that a deed of gift executed by Mrs. Folsom, giving all her property to her son, be set aside.

The work of the Indianapolis Humane society has touched the hearts of countless visitors and citizens, In the kindness and mercy of Its treatment of homeless dogs. Appeals are made constantly to citizens who wish dogs for pets or companions to come and look over the kennels, and hundreds of homes every year are made happier when dogs have been ‘‘adopted." And Collie, It seems, has barked wistfully when Mr. McGinty pats her head and asks-her If she wants to go to the big, green outdoors of the country to live. She lost her home when her master and mistress moved away and could not take her with them, and did not wish to stay with another family to whom she was given.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1920.
FIGHT PREDICTED ON MARINE BILL British Expected to Attack Some of Provisions. WASHINGTON, June 17. ational negotiations, probably before The Hague conference, wIU be demanded by Great Britain before she accepts the provisions of the Jones merchant marine legislation, according to views of shipping men and officials of the stato department today. Provisions of the law giving Americans preference rates on shipments by rail or water to American seaports will be one of the principal subjects of attack In the complaint, according to government officials. It Is pointed out that preference given German shippers and shipping Interests within the country rather than any International advantage was the cause of the rapid Increase of the German merchant marine before the war. Shipping men and operators of tbo new merchant marine lines contend that Great Britain can have no valid complaint against preference rights granted citizens within the United States. Another point upon which Great Britain plans to protest is the provision of law which abrogates treaties Inconsistent with Its provisions. The abrogation of the treaties practically reverses the merchant marine policy of the United State*, government officials admit, but such abrogation they contend Is perfectly regular and within the nation's rights. The state department will defend ev.ry provision of the Jones act, according to Secretary Colby, which tends to build up the United States merchant marina. Preference rights to Americans provided for In the seaman's act and npheld by the supreme court, also do not meet with the favor of the British and a protest is looked for against the seamen's law.
