‘PERSECUTION’
Bishop Flatly Refuses To
Answer Question On
Politics
WASHINGTON. June 3.—fAV
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., today
flatly refused before the senate
lobby committee to answer a ques
tion about his political activities In
the 1828 presidential campaign.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, in adjourning the committee,
informed the bishop that “of course
you will have to take responsibility"
for declining to answer.
Cannon replied the committee’s
Investigation of him was “persecu
tion.”
This stirred the crowded com
mittee room into laughter, applause
and hisses.
“I cannot help but get the im
plication in that statement,” said
Walsh.
Cannon hastily replied:
”1 do not charge you, Senator,
with persecution.”
Just previously, the bishop had
charged that wet and Roman Cath
olic interests had tried to discredit
him. Walsh is a Catholic, and a
dry.

A Letter From
Judge Dancy
The following statement, setting
torth that the county protection
levee system was in no way at fault
in the overflow from the Rio
Grande below Brownsville, was
made bv County Judge O. C. Dancy
Tuesday:
“So far as I know or can ascer- j
tain, not one of Cameron county’s
le\ees has failed to hold back the
""iter in this flood.
“More than four years ago plans
were not only prepared, but on
May 17. 1926, contract was actual -
lv let for construction of levees
be'ow Brownsville, where the river
broke out as I understand, last
Friday. These levees were not con
siructed for the reason that land
owners refused to let us have rights
'f way. Thi break below Browns
ville was in no sense whatever a
part of the county levee system.
“Sunday about dark we got per
mission from the land owners to
build a Wee. and immediately or
dered the county's dragline to the
scene of the trouble. This drag
line had to be moved from La Feria
and arrived last night and started
♦o work this morning building new
levees where we wanted to build
them four years ago. The job should
be complete by 3:30 p. m today.
“There are no gates in the
Rancho Viejo or In any of our
floodwavs in Cameron county.
“Saturday night without the
knowledge o consent of the county
engineers or other authorities, for
ces working for a big land owner
constructed a dam across said
floodway, which, on the demand
of the county, was opened up on
Sunday.
* The overflow below' Brow’nsville
started before this dam was con
structed. As to whether the con
struction of this dam aggravated
*be condition below Brownsville, I
no not know.
“Of course the country between
me county levees and the river has
leer, flooded, and this was to be
expected.
"There has been considerable
ermment on the fact that the Ar
royo and the north floodway have
teen carrying no water. Both of
these outlets rise in Hidalgo county
ana over which we have no control.
I will say, however, in justice to
the Hidalgo county authorities, that
so far as I know or believe, there
was no obstruction of any of the
outlets from the river into said
north floodway and arroyo.
"At Rio Grande City the bed of
the river * several times bigger than
it Is at Brownsvlle, consequently a
small river at Rio Grande City be
comes a big river at Brownsville.”

FLORIDA G.O.P.
FACTIONS VOTE
Control of State Party Is
Chief Issue Involved
In Balloting
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June S —
—Florida Republicans balloted
todav In their first party primary,
a privilege made possible by the
heavy vcte in the 1928 election in
which Herbert Hoover carried the
state.
The Republicans, however, did
not qualify candidates for state of
fices and were concerned principally
with a struggle between fations led
by Glenn B. Skipper, national com
mitteeman. and W. J. Howey for
control of the state party executive
committee.
Only two races had any claim for
national attentiton and both were
in the Democratic primary. Repre
sentative Ruth Bryan Owen, daught
er of the late William Jennings
Bryan, sought a second term as a
member of congress from the fourth
district.
She was opposed by Dewitt T.
Deen, Daytona Beach attorney, who
campaigned on a platform calling
for repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
In another spirited contest. Sid
ney J. Catts. picturesque war-time
governor of Florida, made a bid for
the Democratic nomination for
congress in the third district. He
was opposed by Tom A. Yon. the
incumbent, and J. Harvey Bayliss,
former mayor of Pensacola.
FLOOD DANGER
(Continued from page 1)
there were only two-thirds bank
ful.” he said. “This seems paradox
ical. I know, but can be explained.
When the river is full up there, the
water breaks out before it reaches
San Benito and Brownsville, more
than a half of the water being
carried away by floor controls.
When the river Is only two-thirds
full up in Rio Grande City, all the
water tries to flow down the main
channl. not breaking out until It
reaches the low levees In this sec
tion.”
Tlie dangerous stage of the flood
is definitely past, according to Mr
Schnurbusch. The river will now
begin to fall and relieve the tension
on the levees.
Convict Caught
Andres Alvarado, an escaped con
vict. was in the Cameron count\
tail Tuesday awaiting word frotr
state authorities as to his dispo
i sition.
Alvarado was captured at Har
' ling^n Saturday night by James H
Collins, mounted customs inspector
and Deputy Sheriff M. Rodriguez.
Alvarado was sentenced to t
year in the penitentiary some time
ago when he cut Border Patrol
man B. O. Robinett at a danc<
near Brownsville.
The man escaped from thr
penitentiary in December with Hi
ginio Sanchez, also of the Valley
Sanchez has been captured also.
Collins turned his prisoner ovei
to Sheriff Frank Browm.
