Galveston. Texas, November 1s.--some OF
the city ordinances Of Galveston have
been dealt hard blow In the courts this
week. They have been found faulty, de-
fective and entirely out Of conformity with
the State law.
When Judge Gavin Of the criminal dis.
trict court began the present session there
were on his docket a number OF cases APP
pealed from the city court. The cases were
| all for violation OF different provisions OF
the penal code. Some were for one thing
and some another, but nearly all failed TO
stand the judicial scrutiny OF the higher
court. OF dozen or more OF these appeal
| cases from the city court fully o-thirds
OF that number had to be dismissed by
Judge Gavin because of defective affidsvits.
| The complaints were not improperly
drawn but the ordinances under which
| they were framed are decade or 20 be-
| hind the time. In other words. the Calves
| ton city council has failed to keep step
With the changes In the penal code male
by the different legislatures. Consequently
the ordinances are In direct conflict with
| the State law on the same subject. all un-
| fortunately for the ordinances the former
| prevails when the matter comes 10 test
| in the courts.
Some harsh things have been said about
| these autiouated ordinances and now the
city is to have some new ones. They viii
remedy the defects brought TO the surface
by the appeal cases In Judge Cavin's court
this week. and will in every way conform
xpith ha latn eua nj If
! ture amending the penal code. CITY Attor-
| ney X. Wayerly Smith and Police Clerk
| George McCracken have the task OF pre-
| pairing the new ordinances in hand. The re-
suit OF their labor Will be submitted TO
the council at it's next meeting for ap-
| prevail.
| The experience OF the city has been an
| expensive one, as witness fees. clerks fees
and other necessary expenses OF court
machinery had TO be incurred the same as
| IL convictions had followed. 1t Ii safe TO
say that before another term OF the GRIM
inal court convenes Galveston will be OPP
Grating under set Of revised ordinances.

general and diocesan convention saying,
"These are the rules of your conduct in
dispensing the divine word, in leading

line of the church, and be thou pattern
to the flock committed to thy care "
