Instead of recovering from the city
of San Antonio $3.50 sued for as fees
for professional services during the

| Terrell in the Seventy-third District
Court Wednesday afternoon. Judge
Sluder had filed suit for the $3.50
whereuron the city filed a cross action

over the gas plant, and other public
utilities. The city claimed no agree
ment had been made whereby Judge
Slider was to be paid and that some

her out into the night in the last

Forth was the comedian at the
Coy. His wife was the soubrette.
The examining trial for Morgan on
the four charges against him will be
held Friday by Justice Campbell Over

obtained is purely eircumstantial.
Their investigations led to Morgan
when it was learned that his wife
had been burned out three times since

ACondition, Theory

Many earnest people will be offend
ed by the address of DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler before the Missouri
Society. His attack upon the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and the Volstead
Act will be regarded by some as cal
culated to foster the spirit of lawless-
ness which he condemned. This, how
ever, does not touch the vital points
raised by the speaker. With courage
and conviction Dr.. Butler described
conditions that cannot be dealt with
by theorizing.
Few Prohibitionists will deny that
the conditions complained of by DR..
Butler exist, but not many men in
public life have the courage to deal
as frankly with the subject as the
president of Columbia Every one
knows that Prohibition enforcement
is worse than farce in many sec
tions of the country; that it has given
rise to corruption and to contempt for
all law. Yet few who agree with Dr..
Butler have the courage to say with
him that Prohibition is a dreadful
mistake" that must be undone if those
conditions are to be corrected.
The value of such utterances as
that of DR.. Butler lies in the fact
that they shift the ground of the con-

WHAT CONGRESS DID
High Spots of Last Session

were exposed and three cabinet Off
cials resigned. Early in the session
the house progressive forces formed
a coalition and liberalized the rules.
This was a blow to standpatism and
made defeat of the Mellon tax bill
possible. In the senate, turmoil was
continuous. The progressives con-
trolled on many occasions. They took
the tax question out of the hands of
the administration party and forced a
compromise.
An appropriation bill that carried
wage grants to thousands of federal
field employees failed to pass in the
closing hours. These workers also
lose their S240 annual bonus. The
Federation of Federal Employees es-
Inmates the workers will lose $685.
