Mr. L. G. Husar's Arrival: The Bill for Substitute Judges Mr. Leonard G. Husar, newly appointed United States District Attorney for Shanghai, arrived on Tuesday afternoon on the Admiral str. President Jefferson (formerly the Wenatehee) from Washington, D. C. Mr. Husar fills the vacancy created by Major Holcomb having ended his term of office. The new official is a resident of Los Angeles, California, where he has practised law since 1912 excluding war service. He has lately served as Chief Trial Deputy in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office in Los Angeles. Although a graduate of the law school at the University of Southern California in 1914, Mr. Husar was admitted to the bar in 1912 when he began practising. He previously had graduated from Franklin College in Dresden, Germany, and had also studied at Stanford University in 1909.
Mr. Husar fully appreciates the gravity of the U. S. Court situation in Shanghai at present, but expects to receive word of the definite appointment of a Judge for the office in the very near future. He stated yesterday to a representative of the North China Daily News" that no authentic word regarding an appointment could emanate from anyone other than the President of the United States not even the Attorney-General., He also spoke of the Act of Congress which has been introduced and has possibly at this time passed both the House and the Senate and which will replace the old deficient law regarding the U. S. Court in China. The new bill provides for the appointment of a substitute who would act in the event of disability or absence of the Judge in office.
