POLICE JUDGES TRANSFER
MAGISTRATES A CHANGE
Complaints to Be Filed with the
Branches Every 3 Weeks

In the future, all complaints issued in
the police courts at central police head
quarters will be filed in each of the
branches of the court every three
weeks, instead of every four, as has
been the custom. This change was
made necessary on account of Police
Judge Warren Williams being trans
ferred to the University police court.
Before Judge Williams court was
moved to the University police station,
each of the police magistrates held
what is known as police court" week
every four weeks. During that week
the presiding judge handles all mis-
demeanor and felony complaints issued
during that week.
During the week that closed yester
day Alb cases were disposed of by Po
lice Judge Rose, who was presiding
over the police court. Out of that num-
Der 4O3 OF the cases were based on
misdemeanOr charges and the remain
ing ten were felonies. Besides this
number, about twenty-five continued
cases were heard in Police Judges
FredericksOn and Chambers courts.
The number of cases handled last
week was exceedingly large on account
of the large number of roOming house
keepers who We're taken into court for
violating the license ordinance. The
usual number OF cases disposed of dur
ing a week in the police court is
about 300

WOMAN DEFRAUDS FIRMS
WITH WORTHLESS CHECKS

Detectives connected with the central
police station are trying to locate a
woman, who, according to complaints
received, has been swindling mer-
chants by the old game of ordering
goods, paying for them with worthless
checks for sums slightly in excess of
the amount of her purchases and or
dering the goods sent to vacant
houses.
Two reports of the woman's tran
sactions have been filed at headquar-
ters In each case she cashed checks
for $40. She signed her name as Mrs.
L. M. Nelson, and when clerks hesi-
tate about accepting her checks she
shows them a bank book and assures
them that she has ample funds In the
bank against which the checks are
drawn.
This method of swindling merchants
is not new. 1t has been used here be-
fore, but 1t is not believed that the
woman who is being sought has ope-
rated here before.

COTTON SEED GET BIC BOOST
w A. Biard Opens Market Monday
Morning by Offering $50 Per
ton for Seed--Price Is Met.

The price of cotton seed received
a boost of seven dollars a ton Mon
day morning when W.. A. Biard,
manager of the Waxahachie Cotton
Oil company, appeared on the streets
and began offering $50 per ton for
all the seed he could get. The pre-,
vailing price in Waxahachie since
the opening of the season has been
about $23 per ton. The new price
set by Mr.. Biard Monday morning
was quickly met by Jas. A. Weaver,
manager of the Planters Cotton
Oil company. The representatives Of
these mills authorize the statement
that they will buy all the seed they
can get at the last named quotation.
The paper has no authority to
make any announcement for the new
mill but the supposiuon is that they
will meet the prices of Messrs. Biard
and Weaver. This big jump upward
in the price of seed came as gem
uine surprise to all who are interest
ed in the cotton market and the
general opinion prevails that it will
stimulate the price Of seed cotton.
