Austin. Tex, Aug. 1O.-Courts of in

commended by w. G. Sterrett, fish
and oyster commissioner, as a means
of discovering the guilt of persons who
have violated the game or fish laws.
The section of the statute under which
such courts will be held provides for
the taking in writing of statements
made by persons summoned as wit
nesses and the issuance of warrants on
these statements the same as II COM

provides penalty for refusal to testify.
The commissioner states that he has
found by experience that often the

the only way to secure action.
