If any question remained in the MUD
of United States District Attorney Me
earn regarding the sincerity of his wei
come to Honolulu it must have been
dispelled last night, when he was
cheored to the echo by rs representa-
tive n gathering of the leading men of
the city as it is possible to get togcth-
err, the occasion being the meeting OF
the Mems League of Central Union
church, attended by Letween two hun
dred and three hundred members and
| guests, of several nationalities and all
the different kind of politics there are.
Mr.. McCarn was introduced by Cover
nor Carter, the president of the league,
and, while he disclaimed being either Il
preacher or leader, he delivered ar
address that inspired those present with
the fact that in the new official the
ones who are working for better
Honolulu have gained a powerful ally.
Know Our Faults.
Mr.. Carter warned MIR. McCarn that
Honolulu knew its own faults and
blcmishcs and was trying to overcome
and remove them, so it was not ne
ccssary to waste any time on trll ing
! llonolulans what was the matter with
them. lionoluans knew that already.
What they wanted to know was how
they were going to remedy things
i With his first sentence Mr.. McCarn
disclaimcd any idea of being critic,

chairman to warn me against pointing
