TWO PENGUINS KILL
MATE IN zoo FEUD
Rare Bird Pays Death Penal
ty for Violating Strange
Code of Conduct.

Orc of three New Xealan penguins
At the Zoo paid with her life yester.
day for violating some strange code
which rules the conduct of her tribe.
After living peacefully with the other
two occupants Of the cage for months,
she was set upon yesterday by both
OF them terribly wounded and res
cued by a keeper only to die in his
hands.
The three birds, which Head Keeper
Blackburn described as being the only
ones in captivity in the United States
were brought here from New Zealand
last Winter and lived more or less
peaceably. They were all females.
The trio celebrated their first birth
day in the Spring.
Yesterday a keeper came upon the
three birds in a grand melee and he
rushed to the assistance OF the one
that was down. He succeeded in
rescuing it from the attacks of the
others, but before he could place it
in a cage by itself the bird died in
his hands.
Mr.. Blackburn explained that there
had been a few 'spats" among them
several times, but this was never
taken seriously, as such things occur
almost everywhere"
The dead bird was sent to the
National Museum today for disposal
as officials there see At. Mr. Black
hurn thought If the body was not too
badly injured, It might be mounted.
Deep regret over the loss of the
penguin was expressed by officials of
the Zoo, who emphasized the great
expense and trouble undergone to
bring the rare birds here. AS far as
could be learned the two penguins
will not have to answer for the
murder

MOODY IS ON
WEDDING TRIP
With Bride He Arrives
In Houston; Talks
of Candidacy

HOUSTON. Texas. April 2I.-Two
interesting money mooners, with 'the
eyes Of Texas on them" were Hous-
ton visitors today.
They are Attorney General Dan
Moody and Mrs. Moody, a bride of
five days. There was no mistake they
were on their honeymoon. They
posed for newspaper photographers
and he bride ventured the guess
they would look mighty silly
Mr.. Moody cautioned newspaper
men he wanted no sob stuff about
the honeymoon. The young attorney
and candidate for governor was on
the opinion at this time 1t would be
more dignified to speak of great state
issues and lay aside "the great hu-
man event" that has just happened
in his life.
So he talked politics and about the
needs of Texas.
If elected overnor. he said, he
would write short, simple statute
that would forever. make impossible
the recurring annual scandals in the
state highway department and would
return to the counties jurisdiction
over road matters.
Another statdte, he said, should be
enacted to cure public schoos text
book troubles and then he switched
to his campaign for the gubernatorial
nomination, the greatest issue in
which he considered restoration of
public confidence in the state gov
ernment.

RUSSIAN and

SIGNED TODAY
Terms Not Made Pub
lie; Important Step
in SAT- e & uar ding
Peace of Europe

BERLIN. April 24i--The Russian
German treaty was signed today.
The treaty which has been in proc
ess of negotiations since December,
1924. has been the subject Of much
speculation among the European md
tions.
Although the terms of the agree
ment have not been made public, au-
thoritative quarters in Germany rep
resetn it as an important step in
safeuarding the peace of Europe.
They maintain that it does not es-
tablish an alliance between the two
countries, but rather parallels and
compliments the Locarno pact. In
governmental circles it was said that
the treaty does not conflict in any
way with the league Of nations reg
ulations.
Suspicion echoed in some quarters
that Germany would be Obliged to
report to Moscow all confidential ne
'gotiations with other powers and the
league of nations affecting the inter-
ests of both has met with sentiment
in Wilhelmstrasse. This suspicion
was rearded as nothing short Of an
affront.
