BIG CROWD SEES
GIVEN TAKE OATH
New Police Court Judge Here
PreSideS at His First
Session.

Almost hidden behind a mass Of
flowers from well-wishers who crowded
to capacity one of the largest rooms in
Police Court, Ralph Given today was
sworn in by Justice Peyton Gordon as
Police Court judge.
After administering the oath, Justice
Gordon congratulated Judge Given on
his appointment, reviewed his qualif1-
cations, and added, mo man ever came
to the Office better qualified"
In response Judge Given said: II am
going to try my utmost to administer
justice in this court faithfully and
conscientiously and hope that in the
years to come will have the we'll
wishes that have today. I can hardly
thank you enough"
Judge Given and Justice Gordon
posed for photographs, after which a
reception was held in front of the bench
by the new judge and Assistant United
States Attorney Joseph G. Bruce, who
takes his place as chief of the assistant
district attorneys Office in Police Court.
BY 10:30, IS minutes after Frank
Sebring, clerk of the court, had called
the assembly to order preparatory to
Mr.. Given receiving the oath, the flow
erS had been cleared away and the new
judge walked from the floor of the
courtroom, where for 27 years he had
appeared as Government prosecutor, to
the bench.
Although by prearrangement 1t was
expected that the first case called would
be that of Earl Bishop; charged with
grand larceny, at the request of Mr..
Sebring, Ernest Ellsworth Nelson,
charged with issuing bad checks, was
first arraigned. This was done so that
the first paper bearing Judge Given's
name might be kept in the Police Court
files, as all grand larceny cases go to
the District Supreme Court for final
decision. II
Nelson pleaded not guiltykto passing a
bad check for $50 on Harry E. Sands,
and asked for jury trial. On recon-
mendation of Mr.. Bruce his bond was
set at $500. "a. -
Wiliiam Harrison, colored, was the
first man sentenced by Judge Given.
He pleaded guilty to the larceny of
$2.75 from a colored woman's savings
bank, and, upon admitting a police
record was given 6-month jail term.
Among the gifts presented to Judge
Given was a watch from the members
of the Detective Bureau.

Every section Of Cameron county is interested IN
che situation existing along the Arroyo Colorado and
the move inaugu-ated to request the Cameron county
commissioners court to insist upon the state reelama-
tion department making a thorough and comprehensive
survey Of that section Of the flood control system inn
nsdistely surrounding and including the intake Of
the north f~loodway.
The belief expressed by Arroyo residents tina. the
intake H. inadequate. that il will force an excessive
volume Of water into the Arroyo during major flood
periods may be without basis: but II that condition
does exist. it should Be remedied-and without delay.
The stats reclamation department should be called
upon to make the survey and %ecommen such works
as may be necessary to assure proper division Of flood
waters.
Under the terms Of the contract between Cameron
and Hidslgo counties five parts Of the flood waters
during major flood periods are supposed d be diverted
through the north noodway and seven parts through
the Arroyo Colorado. The protective works along the
Arroyo have been designed 70 handle that volume. and
that section Of the north f~loodway in Cameron and
willacr counties has been designed 70 carry an excess
Of the specified five parts. However, II the intake Of
the north ~floodway il inadequate 10 permit that volume
Of water to flow into il, . situation is presented that
is decidedly alarming.
Any damage that may Be done along the Arroyo
would affect the entire county, and it is the duty Of
Cameron county to take the necessary steps 70 assure
that every section Of the flood control system Is con
s;ructed in accord with the contract and will handle
that volume n flood waters specified in the contract.
investigation Of the north floodway intake has re-
vealed that Immediately adjacent 70 the point Of d.
vision Of the main channel a golf course has been laid
out. The hazards consist Of hiilocks. gullies and some
brush. all Of which. it is said, might act to obstruct
the flow Of flood waters into the f~loodway. It also has
been claimed that the south levee Is not properly To-
Gated to force the maximum volume into the ~floodway,
and that the levees are 50 widely spaced that an ex-
cessive amount will be forced into the Arroyo when
the Rio Crsnde reaches such stage as was attained in
1922. These are questions that can be settled only by
q thorough survey, and Cameron county, as a matter
Of self protection. should demand that such survey he
made and the works al the division point he either
approved or condemned by the state reclamation en-
gineers.
Cameron county has no jurisdiction over the intake
or the works adjacent thereto. The state reclamation
department, II il understood. has approved the general
plan Of the flood control system, but that department
has made no thorough survey 81 the division point
which is the key to the entire system and which would,
in the event IL fails 70 function in accord with the
