Vaughan. He Immediately furnished
the necessary $4,000 bond and took
the oath of office. Harris takes the
place OF tie former incumbent. George
X. Clark. resigned.
In Harris place United States Mar
shall ]. j. Smiddy has appointed 0. T.
Heinle, formerly office deputy, as
chief deputy. No one has been named
for Heinie's place yet Smiddy says
he has received no. applicants and has
no one in mind. He probably will de-
lay action for a few days, looking
about for a good man in Heinie's
place
When Clark resigned HIS deputy
clerk, William L. Rosa, automatically
dropped out of office also. One of
Harris first acts as. clerk was to re-

Under the law the federal court Is
not legally constituted without clerk
