CHICKEN REGULATION
HELD VALID. BY COURT

Holding that the keeping Of fowls or
private property is proper subject OF
regulation by the District authorities and
that the twenty-ive-foot limit is not un
reasonable, the Appellate Court, in an
opinion by Mr.. Justice Robb, today at
firmed the action Of the Police Court,
which sustained the District fowl regula-
ton.
The provision limiting the application OF
the regulation to persons living within
the fire limits IL held reasonable.
Different conditions exist outside the
fire limits, where the country is sparseiy
settled, than exist in the crowded part
Of the CITY," says Justice Robb.
The farmer whose nearest neighbor ie
usually some distance away is permitted
to use his premises practically uncon-
trolled. He may keep any healthy do
mestic animal or fowl at will and any
regulation seriously affecting him in
these respects would be void. So, too
the suburban dweller. for similar reasons
is entitled to greater freedom in the con-
troll and enjoyment of his property than
the city resident may enjoy.
What would amount to a reasonable
and necessary regulation as applied to
property within the crowded city would
be unreasonable and needless encroach.
ment in his case
The Commissioners have not attempted
to license the keeping of fowls.
The permit mentioned In the regulation
amounts to no more than a convenient
method for ascertaining whether the ap-
plfcant has complied with the regula-
tons.
The regulation under discussion requires
permit from the health officer to keep
fowls within twenty-five feet of any
structure within the fire limits.

STORY TOLD TO THE POLICE
Hattie lie Blanc Accused Of Staying
Clarence F. Glover.
FRENCH INTERPRETER ABSENT
Refuses to Come From Canada to
Testify-Witnesses Closely Cues
toned by Counsel.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 5.-The
second week Of the trial of Hattie LIE
Blance for the murder of Clarence F.
Glover started today with another vic
tory for the defense in the exclusion OF
the girls statements at the police sta
ton after her arrest.
Judge Bond stated that he did not think
the girl knew the exact import Of the
questions asked her in English. and as
the French interpreter refused to come
into the court from Canada to guarantee
the girls remarks the government is un-
able at present to introduce Hattie's
statements when examined by the police.
Admits Demand for Expenses.
Samuel D. Elmore then resumed his
testimony and was asked why he wanted
$4.153 from the widow the day after the
murder. He said that it was for ex-
penses When pressed by the district at
torney for a more specific answer he re-
piled:
ITO meet a plot partially formulated"
diately sprang to his feet and demanded
that the remarks be ruled out.
Judge Bond agreed. Mr.. Gilmore then
changed his reply by saying that he
wanted the money to meet a situation
brought about by the brothers Of Mr..
Glover, who subsequently sued the
widow. Witness admitted he refused to
give UP Hattie's clothes to Mr.. johnson
and that a bill in equity was NOW pending
on the matter.
Witness Cross-Examined.
The cross-examination began with the
question:
did you not give SO to all four Of the
children Of Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman, the
intimate friends Of Mrs. Glover. on the
Christmas following the murder?''
YES"
Did you ever do such a thing before?'

did you ever know the Freemans or

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
PLANS ASYLUM INQUIRY
Will Within Few Days Hold Con-
ferences With Drs. Gun
nell and White.

Secretary of the Interior Ballinger plans
to hold q conference within q few days
with DR.. Gunnell. president OF the board
Of visitors of the Government Hospital
for the Insane, and with DR.. White. thu
SUPERINTENDENT, relative to complaints
which have been registered by r. e. But
terfield, secretary of the Congress Heights
Citizens Association, as to the policy OF
the hospital officials IN allowing GONZALES
cent patients of the asylum to take a
stroll now and again along the avenues
of the section.
Mr.. Butternald is not in favor Of the
board OF visitors OF the hospital conduct
ing the Investigation, a. has been the
case in the past, and prefers that the
Sec: etary give his personal attention to
the matter. While Il Is thought to be
hardly likely that Mr.. BalNnger could
spare the time from his duties to par
ticipate in such q contemplated hearing,
still he proposes to Discuss tho matter
with Drs. Gunnell and White before al
lowing the arrangements for the proposed
hearing to proceed.
At the hospital It is declared that thu
policy Of allowing the parole patients to
20 outside of the grounds unattended, is
one of the best ways Of bringing the
diseased mind back to It's former strength,
as the patient grows more and more to
rely upon himself. No patient OF the
dangerous type would be allowed out
without an. attendant, IL is explained and
II there ID the least doubt 81 any patient
tho senior physician must pass ON the
privileges.

ton and will hand down q decision later.
The government contention in this
case was published in The Star last
Monday. The petitioners brief filed to-
day is a printed document Of fifty-seven
pages.
Points Considered.
The five essential points raised by coun-
sci for the petitioner are as follows:
That the Supreme Court has original
jurisdiction to issue the writ Of habeas
corpus in this case.
That the prohibition contained in this
statute is in violation OF the fifth amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States, in that 1t deprives the prisoner of
liberty and property without due process
Of law. and the courts below were, there
fore. without Jurisdiction to retry and
sentence the petitioner.
That the petitioners business cannot be
prohibited by calling II gift enterprise.
That the case OF Lansburgh, aft and
Gregory in the Court OF Appeals should
not be followed.
That the act OF Congress bearing o. the
matter Is unconstitutional.

rough-shod. Many animals slipped or
the asphalt. but few serious injuries have
been reported.
Trains Only a Little Late.

from every direction were little late
but traffic was not as seriously at
fected as during the storm Of several

the blacksmith shop about noon anxious
to have their horses roughed because OF
the slippery condition Of the streets.
The blacksmith was doing his best. it is
said. to follow the rule of first come first

in ahead of others and it was because of
such an effort made by Johnson, it is al
legged. that the trouble occurred.
Driven from the shop. it is said, john
son got the iron bar and returned, strik-
ing the blacksmith on the top of his
head while he was shoeing a horse. Rem
