OPEN KHAN DOOR
Curious Crowd Sees Band and Patrol
at Work.

Hundreds Of curious persons who
had gathered in the lobby Of Beethoven
Hall Friday night were treated to a
brief view of the Ku Klux Khan pa
troll and band performing. The big
lobby of the klan hall was crowded
by non-klansmen who were listening
to the khan band and trying to get
view of the khan patrol.
All at once the klansmen opened the
doors and permitted the hundreds of
perspps in the lobby to view the pa
troll and band.
I'VE Just wanted TO give them an
eye-full,r an official of the khan stat
ed Saturday. ''The khan hall was
crowded with members and the curious
got their eye-full."
This official also said that the po-
lice and sheriff's office is certainly
giving the klansmen good protection.
Armed officers were on every corner
and all about the hall" he said. We
certainly appreciate the interest they
show in our meetings.
From other sources it was stated
that the officers had gone TO khan hall
after being told the patrol was go-
ing to do its stunts in Alamo street.
Nothing of the kind was contemplated
klansmen said.

County Keeps the Money
When They Uphold Po-
lice Judgment.
ASK FOR RULING
Attorney General Says He
Thinks City Ought to
Get the Fine.

Unless the higher courts rule other
wise, the city of San Antonio will be
unable to collect any monies paid into
the Bexar County Criminal Court on
cases appealed from the corporation
court. This was determined Saturday
morning when Justice of the Peace X.
Neil Campbell decided in favor of the
County of Bexar in a suit instituted
by the city to recover monies collect
ed on fines appealed from the city
court. Notice of appeal to the Bexar
County Civil Court was given by AS
sistant City Attorney l.. j. Gittin-
ger.
The suit was brought by the city
some time ago upon a letter from the
attorney general at Austin who held
that in his opinion fines assessed in
corporation court should be paid to
the city after the cases had been mp
pealed and convictions had in the
county criminal court. The county
has heretofore refused to turn over
this money.
Law Directs Disposition of Money.
County Attorney Tom j. Newton,
who represented the county In the
suit, claimed that the statute pro-
vided that an appeal to the County
Criminal Court from the corporation
court constituted trial de novo. or
new trial in the former court and the
status of the case thus appealed was
the same as if it originally had been
filed in the county court. This much
was admitted BY the city,
The code of criminal procedure,
however, provides that all monies col
lected for fines and costs in the coun-
ty criminal court shall be turned over
TO the county treasurer. after the Of
ficers making the collections have
taken out their fees. If the city i'm
posed costs in the corporation court.
Mr.. Newton admitted, then it would
be necessary to pay such fees collect
ed as is done when a case is appealed
from justice court. The law, how
ever, prohibits the collection of two
fines for the same offense. hence it
would be impossible to collect fine
for the city and the county in the
same case.
City Needs Cost Ordinance.
Judge Campbell in ruling for the
defendant. declared that there is no
question but that the statutes are con-
flicting on this particular point and
that the higher courts will so rule.
His Interpretation of the law. how
ever, was that the fine and costs must
he paid into the county treasurer end
there is no provision for paying them
to the city.
A remedy. Judge Campbell pointed
out, would be for the city to pass an
ordinance providing that costs be as
sessed In cases tried in the corpora
ton court. The city then. would be
reimbursed for its costs wherever con-
victions were sustained.

BONDS ARE STRONG
Adoption Of Longwortb Tax Bill
Strengthens Tone OF Market.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March Definite
news that the House had voted for
the Longworth compromise tax bill by
an overwhelming majority, strength
ened the tone of the bond market to-
day. While no unusual advances were
registered and the volume of trading
did not increase, the trend was up
ward.
Liberty bonds were strong all
around. [. :. Treasury 4 las sold
at approximately the highest level of
the week. large blocks of government
bonds changing hands. Foreign gov
eminent bonds were steady.
In the corporation bond list, Ca.
madam Pacific As and New York Cen
trail 5s were fractionally higher. Sea-
board Air Line bonds continued up
ward. On the other hand, Northern
Pacific bonds were heavy in syinpa-
thy with the stock which went to a
new low for the year on the poor
earnings for January.
The week just ended the main ac-
tivity in the bond market was in the
speculative issues in which fluctua-
tons occurred in some instances.
A sensational advance in Norfolk
and Western convertible 6 per cent
bonds and in Virginia Carolina bonds
were the outstanding features. The
former went to a new high record
price for the year on rumors that the
Pennsylvania railroad would lease the
road and guarantee the dividend of
the stock into which the bonds are
convertible. virginia-Carolina Chem
zeal bonds broke because of definite
suspicion that the company will be
reorganized. Much activity prevailed
in speculative railroad bonds, such as
Seaboard Air Line securities all of
which went to new highs for the year
on very large turnover. the South
ern Railway issues and the Fries, all
of which advanced.
The trading in foreign bonds also
was heavy and prices hal an up
ward trend. French rs and Sc regis
tered new high for the year and
Belgian SIS sold at the highest level
of the year. The advance of those
issues was on expectations that the
Dawes commission would accomplish
something tangible on reparations.
New financing was on a small
scale this week. the aggregate having
been only S49,454,000. The total for
the month was S422, 567 900. or an
average of more than $100,000,000 a
week. So far this year new financing
has aggregated $685.. 122.600 COM
pared with S1,006.3 93.076 the cor
responding period of last year.
