Court. He argued that the ordinance, transferring the duties of collecting police receipts to the collector from the police judge, repeals a previous ordinance making it the duty of the police judge, to collect department receipts. Attorneys White and Alex ander held that the law does not speci- fy that the Council has the right or authority to transfer the duties of
 collecting the fines, penalties and forfeitures in this court from the police judge to another at the same time admitting that the council had the right to regulate the collections Counsel for Judge Stewart contend that the ordinance is illegal and void for this and other reasons. Some in teresting points of law are involved in the case and it will probably be taken to Supreme Court.

OTHERS ARE AIDING

In an effort to bring the matter of reWarding the crew of the pilot boat Texas. who rescued him, his son-in- lay, Charles Leyerenz, of this city and about twenty-five others from the death dealing hurricane, which destroyed Bettison's pier off Galveston on July 21, Major N.

White, of this city, who recently inaugurated move ment that now promises to develop into a national appeal, has addressed a letter to United States Senators James P Clark and Jeff Davis and the various congressman of Arkansas, in which he reviews in detail the death defying bravery of the boats crew
 The letter is also to be sent to Sen ators and Congressmep in other
 States and all the fortunate, ones who were saved at the last minute, have joined Major White in his deter mined work. The letter to the mem bers of Congress follows: *On the morning of July 21, 1909, I, With thirty others. was rescued from 5ettison pier nthe North Jetty, seven miles out from Galveston, Texas, by the officers and crew of the pilot boat Texas, and I desire to present to you and all your representatives in Congress the noble and self-sacri- flcng efforts made by the officers and crew of the Texas in the rescue or our party, and ask your aid and assistance in perpetuating their noble oeeds by some act of Congress which

take a staunch boat to live in that angry sea, and all preparations at our command were made to battle with the waves. At about o'clock on the morning of the Fist after all hopes were abandoned by us all and after the piling on the East side of the walkway from the landing pier proper had been washed away, and the pier it self was slowly but surely being beaten to pieces, the lights on the steamer Texas made their appear ance, coming around the point at the quarantine station, and we all realiz- ed her coming at that hour in the morning and in that rough sea could only be for the rescue of the lives of the party upon the pier. and silent prayer of thanks went up from the hearts of us all for their noble acts in our behalf.
 "The Texas moved toward us very slowly, and we were fearful that the pier would go down before it reached us. The captain explained to me after the rescue that he was afraid to at tempt the rescue during the night and so timed the movement of his vessel that he would reach us at daylight.
 When the vessel came close to our pier, the pilots at the wheel. Captain George H. Kelley, Lawson Luth and H. G. Jones, placed the ship with her stern towards the Northeast, the direc- tion from which the wind came, about one hundred yards from the pier and held her there, although the sea was so rough that I could see the keel of the vessel with every roll of the ship. Finally the small boat was lowered into the water, manned by two sea- men, Louis Larsen and Charles Han son, and was immediately pulled by them to the pier and the rescue began. This boat could only carry fom men at time and the rescue was necessarily slow. It took three hours before all the people on the pier were rescued.
 "A short time after the Texas came up to the pier Captain c. R. Mcgee. in charge of the boat, seeing that the walkway from the landing pier to the pier proper would soon give way, ordered us all to leave the pier proper and go out on the landing pier as it would be impossible to rescue any of us if the walkway gave way. If we had remained there it would have been impossible for us to have been rescued as the ietties were between the two piers, making it impossible for any thing to cross the jetties in such a sea- We left the pier went out on the landing pier, as directed. w. were washed by the sea and with difficulty kept from being washed overheard. It was we'll that we obey ed the orders for a short time after the order was given. the walkway went to pieces.
 Ut is impossible for me to describe in proper words the heroic efforts made by Larsen and Hanson in hand- ling the boat that carried us from the pier to the ship. They would back the boat up to pier against the angry waves, which rose five or six feet above the pier, and the next moment was ten or fifteen feet below. We were forced to jump from the pier to the boat as she rose or fell close to the pier, and were then carried to the ships side As we reached the ship we were forced to grab the rope ladder leading to the deck of the Texas Several were jerked from the boat into
