The special district court. created by
the legislature as a temporary court to
relieve the 41st and oath district
courts of their heavy dOckets, autOmot-
ically goes out of existence on Decem-
Der 81 There are a total of PA cases,
docketed for this court, yet to be tried,
and the district clerks office is now
engaged in transferring these to the
two regular district courts.
Cases bearing even numbers are be-
ing transferred to the 41st court, while
those Of odd numbers are being trans
ferred to the 34th court. The exceptions
to this rule are garnishment cases,
which go to the same court in which
the original case was filed Under this
rule 124 cases will go to the 41st dis
trict court and $50 to the GATH
An effort will be made to have the
special district court reestablished as
regular court and given a number. The
FL Paso Bar association has been act
i've in the matter and the next legisla-
ture will be asked to pass a law Great
ing a new court. It is declared by
lawyers to be absolutely necessary
that another court be created, for the

overcrowded, and it will be in the in

announcement was sent him by Gen. Sir
mount commission, Of Montreal, Can.
The message states that all arrange
ments for the purchase of horses for
the present have been made.
Tests have shown that American
horses take long time to become &C
climated and that hundreds Of them
have died. In the future the supply
will be secured from Australia where,
it is said, mounts can not only be pur-
chased at lower price, but are much
more adaptable to European climatic

WAR PRISONERS
WELL CARED FOR
Attache of American Gov
eminent Reports on Pris-
on Camps in Europe.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 28.-Chan-
der Anderson, who as special attache
of the American embassy IN London,
made an investigation of military prls-
on camps in practically all the Euro
pean belligerent countries, declared to-
day there was no substantial difference
in the treatment of prisoners of war,
and that probably in every case they
were cared for as well as the captors
could afford, considering their own
military necessities. Mr.. Anderson
made personal investigation in Eng
land, Belgium, Germany and Austria
and also had knowledge from reliable
sources as to conditions in France and
Russia.
Mr.. Anderson praised the work being
done bv Walter Hines Page, the Amer
lean ambassador at London, and said
that through the excellent relations
Mr.. Page has established with the for
eign office, he has been able to ac-
complish many things beyond the reach
Of another official.
Germans Have $4,000 Prisoners.
The Germans, at the date OF Mr. An
derson's departure from Europe, had
about $4,000 prisoners of war. About
100000 were Russians and an equal
number of French and about 1000
British, the remainder being Belgtans.
The prisoners were given tne regular
army ration and their principal lack
was clothing suitable for the season,
and opportunities for bathing. Most
of them had been arrested in summer
and fall wearing light clothing, and
were consequently suffering somewhat
from the sold. The military prisoners,
particularly, were found in the worst
circumstances because the German
government would not allow them to
accept and wear civilian clothes, lest it
facilitate their escape.
EnEIand's Prisoners on Ships.
In England the German and Austrian
prisoners have been confined in the
race courses, but more recently have
been transferred to ocean liners lying
idle at their docks. The quarters on
the vessels are good, with every facil-
ity for keeping the prisoners warm and
properly fed.
Conditions in Austria, Mr.. Anderson
said, are very like those in Germany
and the same is true of Russia. One of
the unavoidable hardships of the prison
camps in all countries was the en-
forced association of all elements of
society.
