NO ORDINANCE TO APPLY CITY FINDS ITSELF IN EMBARRASSING PREDICAMENT. No Record That Measure Was Ever Published in a Newspaper- -The Case May Be Dismissed. Apparently the city lost out in its attempted criminal hero prosecution of F. H. over that East Seventh street drainway dam.

Mr. Jones called at the office of the City Clerk yesterday to obtain a copy of the penal ordinance against obstructing a natural drainway and was referred to the files of the paper in which it was supposed to have been published. It could not be found and the Clerk, bring to light no evidence records that the law had been printed. Since a penal ordinance is not effective unless printed ten successive days in a newspaper, the city has no grounds for an action in this case, it is believed. The City Attorney will probably dismiss the case against Mr.

Jones. It was to have come to trial in the Corporation Court Friday morning. City Attorney Rector would give no intimation of the city's future course in the premises yesterday. He said, however, that the failure of the criminal prosecution, more by reason of an oversight on the part of one of the city officials, in no wise. affects the civil status of the two parties to the controversy.

The representatives of the city hold that the present turn of affairs will have no necessary bearing on the policy they have adopted with respect to Mr. Jones' demands for a storm sewer to take care of the water that has heretofore flowed across his property on East Seventh and East Sixth streets. Mr. Jones has recently built a low wall in front of his Seventh street lots and filled them with earth. This will naturally result in backing up the water across the street 1n rainy weather.

Once before when a similar thing happened the police pulled down a section of the wall. Mr Jones declared yesterday that if the city undertook to tear down the wall agam that would take steps to prevent damage to. his property. REALTY MEN DINE TONIGHT Roof Garden Boosterfest Affair Promises to Be Largely Attended. Guest List Growing.

Secretary A. S. Thweatt of the Austin Real Estate Exchange was busy yesterday obtaining names of those who will attend the banquet of the Real Estate Exchange on the roof garden of the Littlefield building Friday night. All of members of the exchange have signed up, but an effort is being made to make this banquet one of the big boosterfests of the year and those who are friendly to the Austin boosters are urged to communicate with some of the officers of the exchange and signify their intention to be present. The charge for this banquet will be $1 a plate.

This is not a change in the eustom of the Real Estate Exchange to have a Friday noonday luncheon, but is simply a little deviation from the custom in order to have one pretentious boosterfest on the roof garden of Austin's newest large building. A program of speeches has been arranged by President D. L. Graham and it is expected that this affair will be one of the most pleasant "get-togetherand-talk-Austin" affairs of the year.

That Austin would stand a better chance of winning a visit from President Taft on Columbus Day if the city's invitation were backed up by another from any Yale graduates who may be living here, is the opinion of Secretary Will Vining of the Business League.
