W. Vaughan and Seba Germany Huber
were administered the oath OF Office BY
Judge Clemens at ten o'clock yester
day morning. With the oath sribscrib
ed to, Mr.. Vaughan qualified as judge
CT the local federal court, succeeding
Judge Sanford B. Dole, and Mr.. Huber
became district attorney for the United
States in the Territory of Hawaii.
With Judge Clemens on the bench
there sat Governor Pinkham, Chief
Justice Robertson of the territorial su
preme court, and Judge Dole.

order, as the audience rose, while

took their seats. Clerk George r

officials of the court. The regulation
oath was administered first to Judge
Vaughan, who Immediately took a seat
in the bench with Judge Clemens, and
then Mr.. Huber was sworn in as dis.
trict attorney. Both new officials were
congratulated by the court.
Judge Dole's Farewell
Judge Dole led off in the addresses
of the occasion. He said that a Judge
is not supposed to have friends or en-
emies in the discharge of his duties;
but that, if any exist, they should not
be considered at all in the set and cut
work Of the court, for, he said, Justice
is always support to the ideal things
in life,
Judge Vaughan told how deeply he
appreciated the kindly and unfailing
cOurtesies that have been extended to
him during his short residence in Ho-
nolulu, both by the court, members of
the bar and other citizens. He would,
to the best of his ability, discharge the
duties which the President had, in APP
pointing him to such high and honora-
BILE position, placed on his shoulders.
Governors Blood Infusion
Governor Pinkham said something
about the infusion of new blood into
the federal judiciary. Race problems,
financial control and national defense,
whatever they might have to do with
the judiciary, especially the federal
branch, played in Hawaii, perhaps, a
more important part than elsewhere
in the United States. He thought it
well that with the solution of these
problems in Hawaii the mainland
should be represented through this in.

Hon. W. o. Smith, George A. Davis

bench and public life. Judge Clcmon IS
address is given elsewhere in this ac-
