FLOODED CHICKENS
EATEN BY HORDE OF
CATS, OWNER ALLEGES
Woman Complains to Prosecutor That
Her Feathered Tribe Has Been
Devoured by Monarel
Fellnes

Suppose you were the owner of
number of blooded chickens, that dis
dained to eat anything but the choicest
or cereals, and Sou had gone to some
expense to fit up chicken yard worthy
of the name, and you passed most OF
your time looking after the welfare or
the brood, and your friends praised
your good Judgment in raising such
a lot OF the feathery youngsters, and
next door neighbor had q hobby OF
collecting various specimens of the
genius tomcat, and after she had Sc
cured more midnight yowlc than she
could feed, and they formed a habit
WOULDN'T THAT UNBALl-NCE
YOUR EQUANI- ITY?
That's what 1t did for Mrs. Louise
Lavid of 632 Antonio street, and she
called at the office of the prosecuting
attorney yesterday to tell her story to
Prosecuting Attorney Ford.
While relating the circumstances of
the disappearance of her blooded chicks
Mrs. David was compelled to pause fire.
quently to wipe away the tears.
She declared to Ford that her next
door neighbor, Mrs. Anna Clint, is quite
a humane woman, too much so, asserts
Mrs. David. She has large place in
her heart for homeless cats, irrespective
of their station in life, breed, or their
general appearance, NO matter Wnelner
the forlorn feline has both ears, its
tail and most of It's furry coat missing
Mrs. Clint will adopt the rowing ami
NAL and give 1t home at her house,
Tomcats with one eye and three legs
in a sling are just as welcome at the
Clint home, says Mrs. David, as the
most royal blooded Persian pet that
ever graced lady's boudoir. Kittens
who have marvelously escaped the
deadly tub of water and the small boy S
slingshot find haven OF refuge wnen
they approach anywhere in the vicinity
of Mrs. Clint, 1t is asserted. $50 great
has the animal industry become with
the woman, says Mrs. David, that she
is unable to provide sufficient food for
the members of the midnight chorus.
Then, 1t is declared, when the felines
discovered they had to rustic for 1000
their instinct led them to the yard OF
Mrs. David and her stock of blooded
fowls began to diminish.
Mrs. David tearfully declared that
she thought high grade chickens worthy
of a better end than to be eaten by
cats of a questionable pedigree.
After listening to the story Ford die
tated a letter that was mailed to Mrs.
Clint asking her to call at the prosecu-
tors office to give her version OF the
affair.

SENATOR M'CARREN WINS

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-By carrying
sixteen of the twenty-three assembly
districts of Brooklyn Senator P. H. Nc
Carren today maintained his political
control of Kings county, only four of
the seven revolving districts returning
-McCarren leaders. William E..
Melody, in the Fourth assembly dis
trict, William Mcguire in the fourth
and William A. Doyle of the Ninth
failed in their effort to dethrone the
pro-McCarren leaders. In the Twenty
third, Tenth, Eleventh and Twenty
second districts the insurgents were
successful. This, however, will not af-
feet the situation and leaves McCarren
in control of the Democratic county
committee.
Despite charges of fraud made in ad-
vance of the polling by both sides very
little disorder was observed.

81 ecial to The Herald
PASADENA, Sept. S.-By sending
out their first literature, the citizens
committee formally opened the cam
paign against the water bonds today
Former Mayor M. H. Weight, who Is
in active charge of the movement, says
that the organization is entirely com
plete, but that he is not yet ready TO
announce the membership. Three large
rooms in the second floor of the Rlch-
ardson building, 100 East Colorado
street, have been opened as headquar-
tiers.
A civil engineer yesterday went over
the route of a hypothetical aqueduct
between DEVILS Gate and San Fernan-
do, and computed that it would cost
$459 per inch to bring owens river wa
ter that distance. AS Engineer Mulhol-
land has estimated the cost of bringing
the water to San Fernando at $4,000 per
inch, the supporters of the water bonds
say the price of $1,000 per inch which
the city would pay for the Devils Gate
water is a great bargain.
Directors OF the board of trade held
a meetin at noon today, but took no
decisive action. They are unanimous
in agreeing that it is impossible for
them not to lead a campaign for the
bonds, because membership of the
board has so ordered, and they are but
carving out it's wishes.
