WOMEN IN FIGHT
OVER CHICKENS
Assault Charge Made by
Owner of Chickens Against
AntagoniStic Neighbor

When kind words, and harsh ones,
too, failed to keep Mrs. Mary Kubas'
chickens from invading the private
precincts of Mrs. Sophie Miskowski
in Alpine street, the latter decided
to take the law, and the chickens,
in her own hands. She did. She
captured several of the trouble MAX
ers and wrung their necks for them
until they died of shock and grief.
Mrs. Kubas, owner of the chickens,
not approaching the manner in
which her neighbor showed her af-
fection for her feathered pets, then
attempted to convince the execution
er of her chickens that she had done
wrong. Both women apparently be-
lieved that actions speak louder, and
get quicker results, than words and
their verbal conflict turned into
fistic encounter. The owner of the
chickens came out second best, ac-
cording to the story heard at the
police station, and, as result, Mrs.
Kubas, still mourning the loss OIL
her chickens and of the decision in
her set-to with her neighbor, sWore
out a warrant for the arrest of Mrs.
Miskowski.
City Marshal Daniel ]. Dwyer,
armed with the warrant for Mrs.
Miskowski's arrest, visited her home
at 432 Alpine street yesterday af-
ternoon and served it upon her. in
structing her TO be in the recorders
court at O'clock this morning.
When the case came before the re-
corder it was seen that the parties
interested had secured legal talent
to represent them and request for
an adjournment for one month until
July 10 was granted. Mrs. Miskow-
ski was parolled until that time with
the understanding that she contine
her activities in the meantime to the
family wash and not to the neigh
boris chickens.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June Ii
The Board of Freeholders were for
mally notified yesterday by State
Highway Engineer w. G.. Sloan of
the unkept conditions of two roads
in Perth Amboy thougLsin both in
stances the freeholders disclaim any
responsibility for the condition COM
planned of.
At the same time the county au-
thorities were requested to formally
notify any municipality In which the
county intends to close off and re-
build roads of their intentions so that
the municipality might have ample
time to properly designate and put
into proper condition the roads to be
used as detours.
The approach to the county bridge
on Sheridan street was reported as
being in very bad condition and in
need of immediate repairs, but as
the street is not under the jurisdic-
tion of the county. the freeholders
will forward the complaint to the
city of Perth Amboy.
Brace avenue was also called to
the attention of the county fathers
as the highway commission has been
advised by City Engineer Louis P.

fore the closing off of New Bruns-
wick avenue on account of the free
holders not giving the city any notice
as to their intentions in the matter.
Freeholder Walter Quackenbush
took exception to the report, declar
Ing that the officials of the city were
aware of the county's intention to
pave New Brunswick avenue very
early in the year. He informed the
board members yesterday that he
had not thought it necessary to for
mally notify the city, as the council
men had been approached with the
view of getting their assistance in
paving the road from curb to curb,
but on their refusal to assist in the
project they were informed that the
county would proceed at the earliest
possible date in paving a twenty
foot strip at the centre of the road.
Mr.. Sloan in his communication to
the board also requested that the
shoulders along New Brunswick ave-
nue. between the Clara Barton school
and the fast line crossing be scraped
down, as at the present time they
are eight inches above the paved
surface of the road and prevent the
drainage of water. This complaint
was referred to the road committee
for attention.

Nv tho AsSoctofpd Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-A casual
conversation between passengers IN
q western Pullman car year ago,
which was overheard by federal
revenue agent, led to an investiga tion
which has resulted in the filing in the
federal district court of an equity In
come and excess profits tax suit for
S1.79O,S42.44. with interest, from $50
individuals and corporations in the
United States and Canada.
The defendants were stockholders
in the Warren Realty and Develop
ment Company of Arizona, which, AS
sistant Federal Attorney House said
today, was sold in April, 1917. for So
100000. The government claimed the
properties. largely Arizona copper
mine claims. were acquired for little
more than $500, 200, and that the COM
pany's 1917 tax return failed properly
to show the profit resulting from the
sale.
Overheard on Pullman.
Discovery of the alleged tax fraud.
the government attorney declared
was made by a field agent of the in
ternal revenue service who. during
the course of a conversation in a
western Pullman car, overheard de-
tails of the sale of the Arizona COM
pany and made report which formed
the basis OF the subsequent inquiry
The investigation led. Mr.. House SAID,

holders and also the Mechanics and
Metals National Bank, the Chase Ma
tional Bank, the Hanover National
Bank, the Irving Columbia Trust
Company, the president and directors
Of the Manhattan Trust Company. as
collection agents. and various cor
porations and estates.
The Warren Realty and Develop
ment Company, according to the gov
ernment'S complaint, was incorporat-
ed in 1905 and dissolved in 1917. After
the sale of its properties the proceeds
were distributed among the stock
holders.
Suit Against Stockholders.
The governments suit is brought
against the stock olderS on the theory
that the amounts received by them
We're trust funds which the govern
the tax due it. Mr.. House declared.
According to the complaint. the
Warren Company failed entirely to
include the profits resulting from the
sale of it's properties in its 1917 in
come. The tax return filed by the
corporation for that year set forth
gross income of $4.26S.66 and claimed
deductions for general expenses and
interest amounting to s33,691.37, leav-
ing a total deficit for the years oper-
ations. according to the return filed,
of S29,42271.
The complaint alleged that the re-
turn so filed by the corporation was
misleading and false in that the COM
pany wrongfully and unlawfully re-
ported therein as its net income for
the said calendar year of 1917 a de-
felt of S29.42S.71. whereas, in truth,
the net income of the company for
the calendar year ending December
81. 1917 was the sum of 81 498, 633. 03.
The compla int further charged that
the return was incorrect in that no
invested capital was reported by the
company in the return, whereas, in

Ex.PlcKPocKET ENJOYS HIM.
SELF
HUNGARIAN

A Hungarian pickpocket, who
through a lucky speculation has
come into possession of more money
than he well knows what to do with,
is experiencing a dilemma not dis
similar to that of the fellow who in
legal ways has gathered gold with
out scruple but wishes to make
atonement in the end only to be
frustrated. The pickpocket, though,
must be getting little fun out of it,
The Skill whlc.l he acquired in the
way of extracting valuables from the
pockets of his victims enables him
now to put what suits his fancy in
to anothers pocket. For instance, a
seedy fellow riding on the same car
with the pickpocket, too poor ever
to expect he would own a watch,
asked the time of the conductor only
to have his attention called to the
watch fob hanging from his pocket
1t the recipients of these favors hap
pen to possess nervous temper
amcnts they would hardly enjoy the
first sensation of finding that for
which they are unable to give &C
count. And those who have been the
victims from whom the articles may
have originally been stolen will
scarcely experience any relief or
view the act as restitution. But the
ex- picllpocket doubtless enjoys it.
