CLAIM JUDGES ARE
DISQUALIFIED IN

Bond Case Submitted to
Appellate Court With
out Argument.

Counsel for contestants in the ST.

questioned the jurisdiction of Justice
w. S. Fly. Associate Justices It. D..
Cobb and Edward w. Smith of the
fourth court of civil appeals, TO pass
upon the validity of the bond cleo
ton. The argument advanced was
that the justices are property-owning
citizens and taxpayers of San An
tonic and for that reason are inter
ested parties.
Motion to disqualify the jurists of
the civil appeals court was filed when
the cases of II. Il. Wendover and r..
Il. Cares were submitted in the ap-
peals court without argument.
The motion cites the jurists are dis
qualified under the law to sit in the
cause and moved that such facts be
certified to the governor of Texas,
for such action as the law provides.
IL the motion is upheld the governor
may name judges to hear the case.
