Claims He Had Been In
jured About the Head
Prior to the Violation.

Twenty. five hundred dollars, the fine
assessed by Federal Judge Duval West
against Ed. Reward, charged by indict-
ment with violation of the White Slave
Act, was paid to the clerk of the federal
court late Friday afternoon. The fine,
largest imposed in the Western district
of Texas during the last year, was as
sessed after Reward had entered plea
of guilty to bringing a woman from
Kansas City. Mo-, to San Antonio for
immoral purposes.
The fact that no prison sentence was
given in the case, was to the existence
of extenuating circumstances, it was re-
ported. The defendant asserted that he
had suffered from an injury to his head
prior to the alleged violation. 1t was
also brought out court that a money
settlement had been made upon the IN

FlREFLIES GREET
WINTER VISITORS
IN SAN ANTONIO
Highland Park, Alamo
Heights and Other Districts
Reports Them in January.

Winter visitors to San Antonio this
year were surprised to see numbers OF
fireflies Friday night in Highland Park
and Alamo Heights and other clOse-in
suburbs. Whether it was the cloudy
skies and damp atmosphere or the pro-
longed warm spell that brought the fire
flies from winter quarters is not known
but they were numerous and gave
genuine summary appearance to the
evening. There are mesquite trees in
Highland Park, residents report that
have not shed their green leaves al
though the mesquite tree normally goes
into winter garb at the slightest sug-
gestion of cold weather and is the last
of all the trees to put on new verdurc
in the spring While frost settled in
some of the lower sections of the city
sufficient to nip plants and turn the
Bermuda grass brown, in other parts Of
the city residents report that they have
not had killing frost this year. 4,
That San Antonio may have prac-
tically no winter at all is a possibility
according to some of the older residents
who recall years when the winters have
been warm and summary throughout.
They further assert that robbins are
going north already in large numbers
and so are the blue birds while geese
and ducks have been headed northward
for several weeks. an unusual procedure
for the middle of January.
A motOrist on one of the highways
near the city the other day reports that
he saw a snake crawling across the road
so rapidly that although he tried to run
it down, It escaped the motor car
wheels and disappeared in the brush
alongside the highway. This indicates
that an early spring is to be expected
it is said ms snakes usually are dor.
mant during the winter time and sci.
dom, even on warm days, crawl about
or seek for food.
Fishermen report that the bass are
biting just as lively as in the sprins
indicating that the waters are warm ant
that the fish are feeding which normal
| ly they do not do in the winter tint
to any large extent.
Sparrows seeking nesting places arr
| further signs of an open winter ant
early spring the prophets aver.
One usual springtime sign however
Is absent. The black birds which pas
over San Antonio in very large mum
bers annually have not yet put in mp
pearance from their winter quarters ia
to the south. However. If condition
continue as at present. their arrival i
anticipated in n few weeks and this. tn
weather seers assert, is almost conclu
sive proof that spring is about at hand
1t is conceded that with February an
|! March ahead, there is still ample or
portunity for plenty of wintry weather
cold and rain and squalls. But wit
! fruit trees coming into bud, grass turr
ing green. roses blooming everywher,
San Antonio looks anything but wintr
thus far.
