tionS and with the understanding that
they remain ut work throughout the
building season should the employers

DEFENSE WILL BE
 OFFERED IN HEED
 HEARING TUESDAY

After the state had rested yesterday afternoon in the preliminary hearing of Burt Heed, charged with murder in connection with the death on December II of Edward Herwitz from the effects of gunshot wound, F. Louis Zimmer- man, counsel for the defendant, an nounced that a partial defense would be offered when the hearing is re- suned next Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The defense will be self-de- fense. Mir. Zimmerman said, and will be based on the theory that Herwitz all through the night on which the shoot ing occurred was the aggressor and at the time the shot was fired was in the act of striking Heed.
 The state closed it's case yesterday with tle testimony of Niles G. Hyatt who said he lived near the Finley home on Devonshire lane east of North Sew enth street and heard the shot on Friday night. December 10, at $40 o'clock. Just after the shot was fired, Hyatt said, he heard scream which he took to be that of man. followed by a woman's voice saying, That is a mighty small thing to shoot man over"
 Prank E. Stute, night man at the Dublin garage, told of the fight which took place in front of the garage be- tween Heed and Herwitz prior to the shooting at the Finley home later il the evening. Stute said he saw two cars drive up and saw Heed back hi. car into the other car. Stute said Heed attempted to pull woman from thu other car and Herwitz held onto th' woman. The woman, he said, appeared not to want to accompany Heed. Afte a bit, he said, Herwitz got out of tn gar and Heed and Herwitz engaged il a fist fight in the street.
 While they were fighting, Stute said the two women drove away in one o the cars. Neither of the men lande' many blows, he said. They swung a each other and did a great deal of cir cling about. but he said he did no believe they hurt each other. Georg Holmes. he said, managed to get tn

NAIL MAN LIVES UP ID NAME AS SANTA'S
 CHIEF ASSISTANT

While there may be some who doubt the efficiency of Santa Claus in one year or another, there are none to doubt that the mail man is his finest assistant. So well does the latter per form his duties that many are likely to take him for Santa Cluas himself, and It is a certainty that as far as Phoenix is concerned he is just as good a Kris Kringle as ever was con- 1ured by the mind of childhood. Tn fact, the mail man has been Santa Claus. Christmas tree and everything else Christmassy to Phoenix this year, and he intends to keep right on with the Job until the last Christmas pack age has been delivered and the last letter posted.
 Since December IS the mail man. assisted by almost 40 assistants, has been engaged in disentangling the Christmas snarls. While all the rest of the country was complaining about poor Christmas business at the post office, Phoenix experienced the big gest rush in its history, The Christ mas business started about two weeks ago, and the outgoing mail reached the quantity peak last Wednesday. The incoming rush has just got a good start, according to Santa Claus $. J.. Nicholson, known as the postmaster at other times, and the peak is expected about Monday.
 That the mail man is 8 real Santa Claus is shown again by the fact that he intends to make deliveries todat of every package in the parcel post department which has been received up until this morning and has the cor rect address. He is going to stay right on the job until the last one is in the hands of the happy recipient, and he says that he is going to have the best of Christmas days in doing it.
 The postoffice will be open, with the exception of the money order window. from to 12 o'clock this morn ing. One complete delivery will be made on all city and rural routes. And remember, if there is package for you in the big auxiliary parcel post station this morning, you surely will get 1t before the end of Christmas day

 BUILDING SURVEY

The city and county assessors of fices yesterday issued the following public notice:
 The offices of the city and county assessors are making a survey of all buildings in the city. To do this work it is necessary to measure the build ings and inspect the interior of each house.
 In the Gazette of Dec. 23, under the heading of More Daring Robberies Add to Record of Crime Wave" there appeared an article which makes it difficult to continue this work. as it has given the impression that it is being done with the intention of gain ing admittance to houses with view to robbing them.
 The men engaged in this work carry credentials from the city manager, and will show them upon request.

 Mrs. Ethel Cooper. sister of Mrs. Heed, was not put on the stand by the state, although she was one of the eye witnesses to the Shooting. During most of the morning Holmes was under cross examination by MT. Zimmerman. Holmes varied but little from his state ments of the day before in regard to the shooting.
 The charge against Heed arises from the shooting of Herwitz on the night of December 10 in the Finley home fo1lowin gthe fight in front of the following the fight in front of the rough treatment of his wife, to which 1t is said Herwitz objected. Herwitz was shot in the stomach with a .25- caliber automatic pistol and died al 1:30 o'clock the next day.
