"He CabIed Washington and
Answer Was His Removal
Says New District Attorney
FALSE CHARGES MADE.
NEW OFFICIAL SAYS
New Holder of Office Wants to
Do His Work Without Any
''Grand Stand Plays"

Reports which have been widely
commented upon lately in federal
court circles and In the legal frater-
nity to the effect that Former District
Attorney JEFF McCarn and Acting Dis
trict Attorney Horace w. Vaughan
have been at loggerheads practically
sever since the latter arrived in Homo
lulu, we're given further confirmation
today when Mr.. Vaughan admitted
what practically Is breach in rela-
tons" between himself and the Ten
nessean.
81 have been informed that Mr.. Nc
earn cabled to Washington, ID. c.. to
have me removed. and the answer was
his own dismissal" Mr.. Vaughan said
this morning, shortly after he had
been sworn in as acting district at
torney
Mr.. Vaughan added that Mr.. McCarn
had impaired this information to a
certain Honolulan, and that the news
promptly had been carried back to Mr.
Vaughan.
"And know that it is true" Mr..
Vaughan declared to a representative
OF the Star Bulletin.
"Why did he request your remov-
al?" Mr.. Vaughan was asked. IF
"FaIse Charges" Alleged.
Il don't know" the district attorney
answered. But do know that he
has been manufacturing false charges
against me and trying to make some
thing out of nothing. # have done
nothing here to cause my removal,
and Mr.. McCarn knows that
81 want to- 60 along with the duties
of my Office without any grandstand
Dlavs.
In a statement to the Star r-Bulletin
Mr.. McCarn said that he believed Mr..
Vaughan was thoroughly capable to-
handle the affairs of the office of the
district attorney. He also denied that
he was after Judge Sanford b. Dole's
former position on the local federal
bench.
Judge Dole says that he believes
there was no foundation to the report
that Mr. McCarn was after a federal
bench job. .s
The former district attorney intends
to leave for the mainland In the steam
er Great Northern next Sunday, unless
private business i'm Honolulu detains
him. He plans to so direct to his for
mer home in Nashville, Tennessee,
and later to washington. ID. G..
Up TO press tins today, Judge Dole
had received no information from
Washington as to whether he is to be
appointed to take his place.
II guess we will have to wait until
the president finished his honeymoon
before we hear anything further" he
smiled. Il am not especially optimis;
tic in the matter do not know
what Is in the minds OF the officials
In Washington. / am not applying for
the position in any sense. If they
ask me to serve another term, shall
do so. If not, all right"

meeting of the harbor board this aft

NOBORROWING
. NECESSARY FOR
new CITY HALL

"If the territory provides the site,
as Governor Pinkham intends, there
is no reason why Honolulu should not
have city hall inside of three years, !"
said Supervisor Logan, chairman OF
the finance committee, this morning.
AT the beginning of the present
term told Mayor Lane privately that
we ought to be able to build a city
hall to cost 100000 the second year,
that is 1916, without incurring any
debt for it. My idea was to take the
money out OF the permanent improve
ment fund, which would still leave an
equal amount, probably, for other
works such as the belt road.
since then the situation has been
changed, owing to the requirements
of the frontage tax policy, the city
and county's share of district improve
ments already under way making a
formidable amount. This years pro-
gram of public improvements, in ad-
dition to large expenditures in rebuild
ing bridges and work on the belt road,
comprised placing the fire department
in an up-to-date position, doubling the
electric light station capacity, start
ing the emergency hospital, various OF,
flee renovations and the purchase oil
much new equipment for the road
garbage and other departments. Hence
the setting aside of anything for
building fund was impossible. -.
