'Ragging'Policeman
With Auto Horn to
Hasten Traffic Hit
Honking Noisily Outside
of Stores and Homes
Also Under Ban.

Both the impatient motorist who
voices his displeasure when held up at
a traffic signal with loud blasts from
his automobile horn and the male
representative of the younger generation
who pulls up to the curb in front of his
girl friends home and announces his
arrival with a Serenade from one OF the
new musical horns will, in the flu
ture, accomplish nothing more than to
become better acquainted with the
Washington police force as the result
of an order from Maj. Edwin B. Hesse
today calling for strict enforcement of
the law prohibiting noises of this sort.
The police chief, in his message to
the force, insisted upon strict enforce
ment Of the provision of the traffic reg
ulations which prohibit the use of any
unnecessary loud or discordant signal
device, siren or explosive whistle" At
tention was also invited to the pro-
vision Of the regulations which prohibits
the use on bicycle of any other sig
nal device than bell.
The message stated In part
ut Is observed where traffic is held
up at intersections. drivers of automo-
biles continually sound their horns in
an effort to hasten the action of the
officer in releasing traffic.
Complaint is also made that persons
frequently sound their horns to attract
the attention of persons in buildings
for whom they are waiting"
In view Of the number of complaints
received concerning these two practices,
Maj. Hesse said. police have been given
instructions to arrest all such offenders.

COOLIDGE APPOINTS
RALPH GIVEN JUDGE
Assistant U. S. Attorney to
Fill Police Court Post Once
Held by Macdonald.

President Coolidge today appointed
Ralph Given Judge in the Police Court
of the District of Columbia, to fill the
vacancy caused by the death some
months ago of Judge George H. Mac
donald.
This appointment becomes effective
immediately, and Mr.. Given may as
sumo his new duties as soon as he takes
the oath. This is in the nature of q
recess appointment, and after the con-
vening of the Senate Mr.. Givens nomi-
nation will be sent to that body for con-
firmation. II
Mr.. Given, who has been assistant
United States attorney assigned to the
Police Court for more than a quarter
century, was not @ candidate for this
post. His selection by the President
was made after a close study of vari-
Gus persons who had been suggested tc
him. Mr.. Given's appointment was rec
commended by the Republican State
committee of the District of Columbia
and by E. F. Colladay, Republican ma
tional committeeman for the District.
The White House has reason to feel
that this appointment will be popu-
lar one in this city not only because OF
Mr.. Given's wide acquaintance but be-
cause of his years of experience as a
Federal prosecutor at the Police Court
When notified of his appointment to-
day, MIR. Given expressed surprise. He
was gratified at the honor the President
had bestowed upon him and hoped he
would be able to fill the post satisfac-
torily.
Confers on Taking Oath.
While it may be a few days before
Given can clear up his work in the
district attorneys Office, he was to con-
fer today with Gus A. Schuldt, presiding
judge at Police Court, and District At
torney Leo A. Rover about being sworn
in on Monday.
Although Given expressed prefer
ence to wait until his appointment had
been approved by the Senate, he said
he realized that as long as the Presi-
dent had given him a recess appoint
ment he felt it was expected of him
to enter into his new duties as soon as
possible.
