This development came to light
Thursday morning, upon the heels OF

the efforts of Chief of Police Van
Riper to rid the city of an undesir-
able element, recently urged by the
military authorities as a precaution-
airy measure against the spread of
yenereal diseases.
Indicating the play being resortcd
TO by counsel for women arrested on
vice violations, two cases aired before
Police Judge Rochester, Thursday
morning, may be cited as illustrating
the law procedure. In each of these
cases the police court docket reveals
the defendants entered a plea of
guilty TO the charges filed against
them by vice squad detectives. The
court in each instance imposed $40
fine. In face of the plea of guilty,
a motion for a new trial was filed.

trial." commented one of the vice
SQUAD officers. but for what reason
is n puzzle. What can be gained by
it when the defendants plea is that

assessed"
Seven motions for new trials in as
many cases, filed by lawyers in be-
half of women captured in the vice
raids. were overruled by Judge
Rochester, Thursday morning.
-Four women were arrested Wednes'
day night in the vice crusade on

with a violation of sections 3 and
of the anti-vice ordinance.
-Four Gases Dismissed.
One of the women, arrested on n
vagrancy charge, was fined $50 and
the other 500. Attorneys represent
ing the women Immediately filed a
motion for new trial in each case.
Gases against two other women
charged with yagrancy were dismissed
by the court. as was the cases against
two women arrested several days ago
in the vice campaign, the latter, ac-
cording TO the court docket, because
of no evidence.
The case of one woman, among the
first to be arrested when the vice

P. O. SAVINGS OFF
Railroad Strike and Other Campaigns
Responsible.

An increase of only $1,000 in postal
savings deposits during the quarter
ending March 81, is reported by A. L..
Wynne, money order cashier at the
San Antonio postoffice. At the be-
ginning of the quarter. January i,
there was on deposit, S126,974 and
at the close OF the quarter there was
ON deposit, $12S,264.
This amount is considerably less
than it was at the corresponding time
last year, according to Mr.. Wynne.
However, the amount on deposit is
beginning to show an increase.
The falling off in the postal savings
department is attributed by Mr..
Wynne TO the conditions brought about
by the railroad strike last summer and
TO the fact that the government is
encouraging depositors to invest in
treasury certificates by which higher
rate of interest is obtained.
