BY WILLIAM c. DEMING
president, United States Civil
Service Commission

The increase Of crime in the
United States in recent years has
been a matter Of grave concern to
every law-abiding man and woman,
and naturally every citizen worthy
of the name is heart and soul with
President Hoover in his effort to
improve law observance and law
enforcement. To find a crook in
private life is bad enough, but to
find one in the government service
is much worse. That is why the
United States civil service commits
sion spares no pains in probing the
character OF prospective federal
employees, especially fc- law en-
forcement positions.
In endeavoring to separate the
chaff from the wheat, the commits
sion has striven to keep abreast of
the times, so much so in fact, that
it may be said that it is next to i'm
possible today for a man with a
record" to worm his way into a po-
sition with Uncle Sam. Fingerprints
are largely responsible for this bar
rier.
Gradually, as the means is avail
able by congress, the civil service
commission is establishing a Sys-
tenn whereby eventually every per-
son who enters the federal civil
service will be fingerprinted. The
commission has installed a finger
print system at approximately
1900 cities. including Warrington,
D. c., and in those cities all ap-
pointeeS are fingerprinted for COM

AUSTIN, July 20.-When the
state board Of control was created
and given power to put the state
on the budget system, and was re-
quired to furnish the legislature
with what the experts term an "ex-
ecutive budget" there we're fer
some forebodings in the department

whack down appropriations to I'M

Now the question of the board

garded the budget ID the extent
of cutting 1,197,421 below what the

A civil case filed in Cam
eron county district court
nearly IA years ago, will go
to trial December 16 here
under Judge J. E. Leslie of
Hidalgo county.
No one knows when the
famous Ojo de Aqua land
suit will be terminated. The
case has gone down through
the years constantly becom-
ing more complex until at
torneys have despaired of its
settlement.
Attorneys weary of a legal battle
which has been carried on since
1915 are hoping that a final dis
position may be made at least in
the local courts. But they realize
a decision in district court means
only an appeal to the court at San
Antonio, that a settlement there
likely would be carried into the su-
preme court Of the state, and that
it may go on to the United States
supreme court.
Heirs Of originally interested par
ties who have died have increased
the defendants in the case to
something like 1000. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars have
been spent by the county in citing
hundreds of witnesses to appear
during its trial.
And the case now is further from
conclusion possibly than it ever
vas before.
10000 Acres
The Ojo de Aqua case is num-
bered 1885 and is styled:
Pillar Villareal versus A. A.
Browne, ct al.
The suit involves approximately
$4,000 acres including all of the
Ojo de aqua part of Las Mestenas
Petitas la AbrG grant, originally
granted by the Spanish government
in America to Vicente Hinojosa. 1t
lies in Cameron county, extending

received both bad and good fruit
and had had trouble over the poor

such fruit to come out early in

year, however, among these deal

the poor fruit and promptly quit
us for Florida and other good fruit.

This took me right back to

He stated that we must have a ma

said, SO he could not say in what

heard OF one grower that he will

Nov here is something I hope
every grower and citizen in the
Valley will read. A friendly dealer
asked me: How many consumers
do you think a bad carload Of

that Langford & Edwards received

jected to by certain Of the litigants,
because of alleged Irregularities,
and the court sustained objections
and set the rep TT and proceedings
of the master in chancery aside.
Since that time, 1923, hundreds
more have been made parties in the
suit, and lengthy additional plead
ingS have been filed.
Due to the disqualification Of
Judge A. NJ. Kent, the case has
been continued since he took office.
A special judge up to this time
could not be freed upon. Be-
cause many minors were parties to
the suit and because many had to
be cited by publication, the case
necessarily will squire many weeks
for trial, another reason why it was
difficult to obtain a judge n the
c2ce.
Judge James E. Leslie of the 93rd
district agreed to exchange bench
es with Judge Kent and try the
case.
1t is likely that some Of the cases
which Kent will try in Hidalgo
county, will be contested elections,
in which Judge Leslie has been
disqualified.
December Is
Judge Leslie has set the famous
case for December Is. He also or
dered all pleadingS in the case to
be on file December 1, and he will
hear all demurrers, exceptions, and
legal questions on December s.
Attorneys for the plaintiff who
instituted the suit were Graham,
George, Jones, and West. Attorneys
for the Browne interests We're Kibbe
and Perkins. Scores of additional
lawyers, many Of whom live out
side the state will be here for the
case, and it is likely that it will be
sometime in February before it is
concluded.
F. w. Kibbe still represents the
Browne interests, who hold they
own some $4,000 acres. One room
in Judge Kibbe's offices is called
the "Ojo de Aqua" room, and it is
almost filled with pleadings, cita-
tions, and other matter concerning
the suit.
Kibbe's partner has died since the
suit was instituted, land many
more Of my associates and oppon-
ents, but I have actively taken hold
Of the case recently, and we're go
