NEW LEGAL QUESTION.
Can District Attorneys Assist In Prose-
cutting Trust Cases.

Can District Attorneys Assist In Prose.
cutting Trust Cases.
Austin, Jan. San interesting mo
ton involving the legal question as
to whether district attorney is en-
titled to represent the state in anti
trust suits for penalties, to the exclu-
sion of the attorney general, was ar
gued in the district court here Mon
day. The motion was made by District
Attorney Warren Moore, who con-
tended that he is given authority I'M
der the law to represent the state to
the exclusion of the attorney general
in the cases now pending in the dis
trict court here against the Master
Plumbers association and the COM
press companies, which were insti-
tuted by Attorney General Bell. Mr..
Moore based his contention on the de-
cision in the case Of State of Texas
vs.. Moore, 578 Texas, in which the
court held that the district attorney
was entitled to represent the state
when suit was brought against tax col
lectors.
The attorney general opposed the mo-
ton in behalf Of the state. He took
the position in his argument that the
attorney general is entitled to repre-
sent the state in such cases to the
exclusion Of the district attorney.
The law provides that suits brought
to forfeit charters shall be prosecuted
exclusively by the attorney general,
but the district attorney insists that
inasmuch as the suits against the
compress companies are for penalties
in addition to forfeiture of charter,
they should be given charge Of the
prosecution and be entitled to the law
full fee Of rs per cent of all penalties
collected.
Judge Morris has the matter under
Amusement.

concerning policy. L have nothing

is little for the secretary Of the treas.

subordinates. Unfortunately, how
ever almost anything is liable to come
before him for ultimate determine

as diversified questions to decide as
