FRIDAY
j today ordered the license of J. W.
j Morrison operator of an employ-
ment agency here revoked on the
i ground that the agency was not ob-
-1 serving the state law regulating
■ such en enterprise. Various viola-
| tions of the law were alleged at a
j hearing before Commissioner Wood-
man. A number of witnesses testi-
fied that they had been sent by
Morrison to a point in North Texas
to pick cotton three weeks before'
the cotton was opened after paying I
their agency fee. Numerous wit-
nesses were called. This is the first
case under the new law tried In Dal-

18 POUNDS OF BLOOD
is the average quantity in a healthy
adult but it is the quality of the
blood that determines our strength
to resist sickness. With weak blood
we find cold hands and chilly feet;
in children an aversion to study and
| in adults rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abund-
I ant fresh air and take a spoonful of
I Scott's Emulsion after meals because
Scott’s Emulsion is a rich blood-food
that wiM increase both quantity and
I quality of the blood while It warms
the body and helps carry off the im-
purities.
When multitudes of people are to-
I day taking Scott's Emulsion to avert
winter sickness and are giving It to
1 their children It is careless to neg-
lect its benefits. Look out for sub-
stitutes.

RETRENCHMENT PLAN
HITS GOLF COURSE
Mayor Determines to-Have
Them Built With City
Prisoners.
The municipal golf course will not
be ready for use this winter. After
! a conference with several authorities
I Mayor Brown has come to the con-
I elusion that it would be impossible
! to have the greens ready for players
' In January and so it was decided to
lay off the several gango of men
I now engaged in preparing these. In-
stead. it is planned to utilize the city
prisoners for this work and by this
means if possible to have the course
ready for use some time during the
spring.
"I had hoped to have everything
ready by the time the tourists
' came" said Mayor Brown "but this
I could not be done or if it was pos-
sible. would have required the ex-
. penditure of much more money than
the cits' felt Justified In paying out
’at this time. The lay-off of these
i men does not mean that we are
! abandoning the golf course. Far
[ from that. It only means there will
; be a delas - of several months. We
will use the city prisoners to build
i the mounds bunkers and the like
j ana to get the course in suitable con-
I dltlon.''
The laying off of the men en-
gaged In the construction of the golf
course is part of the retrenchment
program announced by Mayor Brown
several days ago. By this means he
hopes to save $60000 out of this
year's expenditures which will mean
six cents saved off the tax rate.

BOGUS COIN FOUND
IN A VACANT LOI
Mexican Boys Discover 80
Counterfeit Dollars in
the Weeds.
Francisco 10 years old and Es-
tevan. 12 year 3 old. sons of F. P.
Alvarez. 716 South Pecos street are
responsible for eighty dollars all
I counterfeit falling into the hands of
Edward Terrell secret service man
' In the employ of the federal govern-
ment and who supervises all in-
. vestlgations here Into the manufac-
ture or circulation of superious
coin.
Thursday afternoon about 6
o'clock Estevan found forty-four
bright and shining dollars in a a
I clump of weeds of a vacant lot near
' South San Marcos and Guadalupe
streets. The boy had been spinning
a top which bounded off Into the
weeds. As he stooped to pick up his
top he found a paper bag with the
dollars bulging from all sides. He
picked it up. The money was car-
ried home and later taken to police
headquarters. There were forty-
four of the bogus dollars in the lot.
Early Friday morning the two boys
again went to the spot and after a
I brief search the younger brother
■ found another bag. This contained
thirty-six of the dollars.
The second find was made Just be-
fore Police Chief Lancaster Agent
Terrell and Detective Guerra reached
the scene in an automobile. The dol-
lars were turned over to the offi-
cers.
Officers say the coins are dupli-
cates of those recovered by the po-
lice and federal authorities about a
month ago when four Mexicans
were taken Into custody as a result
of having been identified as having
circulated a number of the coins in
the city. The dollars are dated 1901
and with the exception that some are
slightly off weight and some with
Imperfect milling they appear at
first glance to be genuine. A re-
markable feature Is the fact that
the bogus dollars have an almost
perfect ''ring" -when dropped upon a
counter.
Local officers do not think the
coins were manufactured In San An-
tonio.
