BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 4.-The office
of United States district attorney in
Massachusetts was vacant today for
what was said to be the first time since
its establishment as the result of the
removal from office Of Robert o. Harris
yesterday by the order of President
Coolidge. No announcement has been
made of the appointment of a successor.
The brief order Of dismissal reading
"you are removed from office to take
effect at the close of business today,
December g." was brought to Attorney
Harris by assistant attorney General
Sylvester Rush.
Attorney General Stone would make
no comment on the case yesterday be-
yond that the removal was for the
good of the service" Mr.. Harris also
refused to comment, saying merely he
would resume private practice.
November 25 Mr.. Harris received an
order from Attorney General Stone
halting proceedings against defend
ants in a rum running conspiracy case.
This was understood to indicate dis.
satisfaction with the conduct of the
case.
Harris often has been under fire, par
ticularly from the dry" forces since
he assumed office in April, 1921. Arthur
M. Forgrave, superintendent Of the anti
saloon league, charged negligence and
easy treatment of liquor offenders by
Mr.. Harris. Forgrave was summoned
last May before the grand jury. which
in special report declared that not
only were the charges groundless but
that they made to further the interests
of persons active in the league.

Of these things, my mind has gore back
