PETITION IS AMENDED
Argument Being Made on
Plea of Abatement Of-

The authority of County Judge J. R.
Davis to expend county funds for cleri-
cal hire in his office for a telephone nt
his office and for telegrams relating to
county business is attacked in an
amendment just filed to the original
back salary suit instituted in December
by the Bexar County Taxpayers League
against Judge Davis and six present or
former members of the county commis-
sioners’ court. The amended petition
asks the refund to the county of
$1242.87 which Judge Davis paid from
the c unty fees for clerks telephone and
telegrams. The petition sets out that
such expenditure was not warranted
and that the county .is not liable for
such expense.
Hurley

The original back salary suit was for
$6NS(jb of which sum $1395N.31 is
claimed from Judge Davis as being the
amount he drew under the special coun-
ty road law. The remaining sum is asked
of six former and present commissioners
who also drew salaries under that law.
In the amended petition it is set nia
that during the fiscal year ending No-
vember 30 1917 Judge Davis paid out
of county funds the sum of $1162 for
clerical hire in his office. $69.91 for tele-
phone rent and .<10.96 for telegrams a
total of $1242.87. It is contended this
sum if expended by the county judge
should not have come from the county’s
part of the fees of his office but were
his individual and personal debts and
should have been paid by the county
judge from his fees of office.
Expenses Not Authorized.
It is charged that the telephone which
he rented was for his private use and
that the telegrams were not authorized
by the county. The petition also alleges
that County Attorney T. J. Newton
who was authorized under the law to
bring the suit had refused to do so and
that therefore the suit was brought by
private persons.
The amendment came up in the Fifty-
seventh District Court in the course of
an argument in n plea of abatement
brought by the defendants to the origi-
nal back salary suit which is now being
argued before Judge Minor. .The back
salary suit is based on the contention
that the special road act under which
the officials drew special compensation
for mad work is illegal and unconstitu-
tional.
Attorney R. H. Ward for the prose
rut ion of the suit presented the plain-
tiffs’ cause.to Judge Minor Wednesday
and Thursday Attorney Lewright for
the defense addressed the court.
Judge Ward attacked the plea of
abatement which is rested on the con-
tention that suit cannot be brought
against the county official named in pe-
tition without authority of the county
judge and commissioners’ court and
said that such a law if it existed should
not be allowed in the state. He said •*
means that the county could never col-
lect a debt without first obtaining con-
sent of the county judge.
Gives Right to McAskill.
Judge Ward also defended the right
of District Attorney D. A. McAskill to
bring the suit saying since the county
attorney had failed to do so the right
was reserved for the district attorney.
Mr. McAskill will also address the court
on that question.
Mr. Lewright attacked the claim that
District Attorney McAskill was empow-
ered to bring the suit and also said that
by no possible interpretation could it
be claimed that the county officials had
collected the funds nor were they en-
trusted with the safe keeping of the
funds.
“If anyone could be sued” he said.
• it would be the county treasurer and
county auditor who paid over the money
and not the county judge and commis-
sioners.’*
The hearing will probably consume
the remainder of the week and a deci-
sion is not expected until next week. On
the decision rests the progress of the
case as should Judge Minor sustain the
plea of abatement of the defendants th#
case would be practically thrown out of
court.

Coblenz Germany April 3. —Une
of tiio first refrigerating plants in Ger-
many has been completed by the Ameri-
cana in the town of Bendorf on the cast
bank of the Rhine. A warehouse was re-
modeled mid modern American machin-
ery was installed. The plant has a cap-
acity of bOO tons of frozen meat which
is sufficient to supply the Third Army
for seven daxs. The first meat was un-
loaded on Wednesday just three weeks
after const ruction started. The work
was erected by Lieut. Col. P. Wilson
Evans formerly with the Armour Com-
pany in Chicago and by ('apt. John E.
Wilson formerly of Swift & Co. Chi-
cago. The plant has its own ire ma-
chine. The meat comes overland from
the Hook of Holland where American
refrigerator ships dock. A Dutch cold-
storagr warehouse there with a rapac-
ity of 2000 tons has been leased for the
American expedition.
The wonderful superiority of the
American meat ration over that of
other armies is due to the refrigerating
plants. One of these was erected at

ladies’ parlor at the Elks Home to serve
ns an office for the Auditorium General

tary who would act as long as her ser-
vices might be required.
Mr. Williamson said that the commit-
tee was ready to begin the transaction

on without expense to the City Club or
to any other organization. He added
that the unique character of the City

Pana April 3.—There is something
more truth in a brief parable than a
long discourse. At a luncheon in the
Hotel Crillon I started to discuss the
muddle which the conference seems to
be making of certain questions as to
frontiers with an American of consider-
able eminence and wise in international
experience when he interrupted me
saying:
‘T will tell yen an oriental story. A
certain hadji (pilgrim to Mecca) of
great popularity in the Moslem world
on arriving at Samarkand went into
the market place and when a crowd had
gathered about inquired of the people.
‘Are you familiar with the subject I
intend to discuss today?’ ?No’ they
answered. ‘Then’ said ho ‘how can I
