Dallas.
Fort Worth. Texas, November s.-Judge
Edward Gray OF Dallas, sitting for Judge
Harris in the Forty eighth judicial district
court, decided the case Of the city against
j. X. Winston in favor OF the former. II
was suit to force the collection of taxes
and also to determine the validity of bonds
made payable in gold coin. The question
was of vast importance inasmuch as the
city has issued bonds amounting TO over
saoo9,ooo. However, Judge Gray virtual
ly admitted the invalidity Of the bonds,
but as matter OF expediency and In order
not to place the city in serious situation
he ruled otherwise The case will likely
be appealed.

Galveston. Texas, November s.--All of
the quarantine inspectors ON the county
line have been discharged and in future
the work OF inspecting trains before en-
trance into Galveston will be done at vir-
GINA Point. This is the result OF an econ
onlic stroke in which the city and ceunty
are interested. The expense OF maintain
ing inspectors at various points Oh the
county line has been heavy and the funds
provided for such purpose are running low.
A conference between County Health Ply
stefan Warfield and City Health Physician
Fisher was held and resulted in the aban-
ment of all quarantine stations except at
Virginia Point. This does not mean. how
ever. that quarantine will be hess rigidiy
enforced The same system OF inspection
as has formerly applied will be in force
and all trains will be stopped at the point
and thoroughly Inspected before being al
lowed TO enter the city.
DIR. h. c. Gwin will be in charge OF the
Virginia Point station. assisted by Dr.. w.
c. Swain. who was formerly stationed at
Arcadia
Those who have been called in as a re-
suit OF the new order are: All Hawkins,
formerly stationed at Arcadia; Drs Fon-
taine and Mcmahon. from League City; Is.
j. Lloyd, Seabrook Lee EDme, High Is
land, and inspector Duffy, from Bolivar.
In discussing the matter today Health
Physician Fisher said that the reduction
OF the force would not cripple the auaran-
tine efficiency. 1t may result in additional
work for the men bun the quarantine in
spection will be just as thorough as it has
been in the past.
