FAULK HEADOF
KIWANIS Club
IN BROWNSVILLE
Grant Charter at Meet
Night; to Work for
Civic Progress; Coop
Grafton Is Watchword

Har L. Faulx, county attorney, will
guide the destin es of the Kiwanis Club
which received its charter in Browns
vile at the Country club here last
night, with more than 40 members ana
a number of visitors present.
Other officers we elected at the
first meet. ng, a.: d plans for the year
were made tentively.
Although he mentioned no definite
needs, President Harry L. Faulk, on ac-
ceptng the office at the head Of the
newly organized club, said that there
are many things in Brown sville and
other pa is of the Valley which should
be attended to, and which organiza-
tions such as the Kiwanis club can care
for. He expressed hope that the local
Kiwanis club would take an active stand
in such matters.
Il will do all in my power as head
of the kiwans club here to work with
others in carrying on progressive moves
in Brownsville, Mr.. Faux said IL
feel that the newly organized club has
many important missions to perform,
and believe that it will do all this"
A. j. Rabel, Of Harlingen, who faith
cred the Kiwanis club moves in the
Valley, and who helped Mr.. Faulk or
ganize the club here, spoke briefly at
the meeting. My dreams have come
true with one exception, and that is the
organization of at least one more club
in Cameron county, probably at La
Feria," Mr.. Rabel said.
He extended an invitation to the
Brownsville club together with their
ladies to come to San Benito next Mon
day night, when all Kiwanis club meet
ings will be held simultaneously with
the national convention opening that
day in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Future Plans Made
Another plan which he announced is
for the three Cameron county clubs to
form a caravan of automobiles to make
trip to Austin for the district con-
vention which will be held there
September and s.
District Field Representative j. E
Van Berschot, instructed each of the
new officers as to his duty, and pre-
sented each member with a Kiwanis
button. 1t was decided that the meet
ings will be held Thursday of each
week from 1915 p. m. to 1:15 p. M, at
the roof garden of the Travellers hotel,
the first meeting to be Thursday, June
%.
Mr.. Van Berschot said that Kiwanis
is a busy mans club, and after giving
some of the history of the organization
pointed out that it is non-sectarian and
non-poitical, and at all times supports
educational and religious organizations,
as well as civic and commercial enter
prise and progress.
He mentioned the dual membership
stressing the democracy which comes
from competitors in the same business
being members. The Rio Grande Valley
needs Kiwanis more than any other
part of the country" he said. "The
Valley is in it's growing age, and needs
guidance by such organizations.

ALLEYS EVICTION
LAW BEFORE COURT
Arguments in Two Cases In
voIving Constitutional
Status Are Presented.

Arguments in two cases involving the
law passed by Congress in 1914 prohibit
ing the use of alleys for residential pur-
poses were heard in Police Court yester-
day before Judge Gus A. Schuldt.
The constitutionality of the law was
attacked by Charles T. Clayton. repre-
senting Franklin +. Nash of 236 Bassett
alley, and by Ralph CusIck, representing
Charlotte Lockwood of 226 Jackson
Hall alley.
j. j. McGarraghy, assistant corpora
tlon counsel, prosecuted the case for the
Government, and for more than an hour
Yesterday afternoon gave reasons why
the legislation was constitutional.
Following the hearing Judge Schuldt
asked that more briefs and memoranda
be submitted to him in writing before
passing judgment. According to Mr.
McGarraghy, this will be done the first
part or next week.
Briefs for Defense.
The defense counsels declared in
their arguments that the premises
represented by them were not in

unhealthy condition existed and the
fact that Congress alleged them to
De unhealthy did not make them so.

also stated that Congress should .D-

Has stormy Career
The law now under advisement has
mad long stormy run since its
adoption. Passed by Congress in
1914 TO take effect in 1918. the war
and housing shortage caused its
poStponement until one wear after
the declaration of peace. In 1922 1t
was found that the housing shortage
sun prevailed. congress again post =
poned the measure until July /. 1928
On that date certain property own
ers filed injunction proceedings on
the District Commissioners before
Judge Bailey. Judge Bailey granted
the Injunction and the case was
taken by the District government TO
the Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals refused to
pass on the law. saying that the mat
ter should originate in Police Court
The matter was then taken to the
corporation counsers office and in
turn to the assistant corporation
counsers office. There for the pa
months it has been studied and
arguments prepared.
Defense attorneys met weekly
with Mr.. McGarraghy to see on what
parts they could agree. Certain
minor details were dropped from the
true bill, which finally was brought
into Police Court. According to Mr.
McGarraghy, the question of the con-
stitutionality Of the bill is the only
decision to be reached.
