Rockefeller offered Harvard ST.

MALONE'S CHICKENS DISTURBING ELEMENT
They lncited a Nciehborhood Row
 That Got into Court

Just because they did not have the proper bringing up and :heir rowing tendencies were allowed full play, the fowls owned by Henry Malone | landed him in the justice court yes terday. It was a more serious of fense than growing at dayoreak that caused the east precinct residents to resort to law. It was because the chickens simply had not the faintest conception of social instinct. They had no moral or ethical code. Un- invited they breakfasted and dined with their reighbors' fowls, rearrang- ed their neighbors gardens without consent CT permission and did away with their alfalfa. The scene of their activities was laid on Polk street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets.
 Mrs. Maud NJ. Armstrong was the complaining witness, and testified that as many as thirty chickens would be in her yard at one time.
 They ate with my chickens, and tore up my garden. Before my hus- band went away he advised me to keep off Malones chickens before I put the place in grain," Mrs. Arm strong said, and she had told Malone
 at various times to keep his fowls in his own back yard. We tried to be good neighbors, but I guess we were too good she ended, as she recited the damage that had been done to the premises. Mrs. J. II. kleck said she had to SOW her garden twice all on account of the Malone chickens. While other neichbors had chickens and she also possessed a few, only Malones were the guilty ones. O. O. Holsinger and C. M. Etter also testified that the Malone brood were not well behaved. The defendant admitted that his fowl had run at large, but did not Enow he was a law -breaker. He offered various reasons why Mrs Armstrong should not have minded the sociability of his chickens. Mrs. Armstrong was recalled as character witness. Answer good or bad" she was told. Bad" she an- swered, putting Malone in the class with his chickens.
 The jury found the defendant guilty and recommended the mercy of the court This morning at 10 o'clock the judge will render judgment. As
 sistant County Attorney Leon Jacobs
 represented the state and J. J. Cox the defendant.

DeMund has confidence in Phoenix and refuses to give up his citizenship, even if it costs me my vote He is here often and casts his ballot but l have never been able to exercise my rights.
 But suffrage is a secondary consider ation with Mrs. DeMund, whose great est interests and efforts are extended along other lines. She is state chair man for California of the International Sunshine Society and prominent in philanthropic work on the coast. The work of the society which she heads in the west is the ''wheeled chair divis- ion" and also furnishes vacations to mothers and finds employment for the poor. While in New York, which is the headquarters of the international so- ciety, the officers of the organization gave an elaborate luncheon in honor of Mrs. DeMund.

To enjoin congress to take steps to- ward the preservation of historic cliff dwellings in Arizona and New Mexico, the chamber of commerce here, and the commercial club at Albuquerque, the metropolis of the sister state, have joined hands.
