MAX KAUFFMANDENIES
HE 'ENGINEERED' SUIT
Threatens Civil Action as Re
sult of Judge Brown's Charge
in Taxpayers' Dispute
Max KuiifTm.in, who was sccretnr of
the late Jlavor lies burn, In answer to the
charge, ntnila by President Judge Hrown,
of the .Municipal Court, thnt he hnd en
gineered the tnxpavcrs suit which was
brought last week to block tho cxpenill
luio of largo sums by that court, last
night tlntly denied that charge nnd said
that he himself may bring civil nctlon
as the lesult of Judge llrown's charge
Kauffinnu's statement follows:
"In tho statement of Judge Hrown that
'the whole affair Is engineered by Max
Kaulfman because ho could not get a
position In the Municipal Coutt." the
president Judge of the. Municipal Couit
does mo too much bono! and gives me
credit for far more than 1 am entitled
to 'n tho equity proceeding.
"It Is not true that I engineered the
piocucilliiKH, although I ma have helped
some Mr Wood knew that during the
summer of 101 1 I was Judge Brown's
press agent, and as such he has asked
me somo questions which ho was en
titled to know ns a citizen and as n
member of the bar In the event, how
ever, of m engineering proceedings I
declnte that they will be far more Bcrl
ous and more sensational than thoso
begun by Mr. Wood for his taxpayer.
As tn Judge llrown's reference to my
not getting a position hi tho Municipal
Court, that Is a matter that was up to
him mid not to me, as lie was the ap
pointing power."
Charles S. Wood, the attorney who filed
the suit on behnlf of Calvin II. Jones, n
tnxpaer, ridiculed Judge llrown's charge.
He said:
"When Judge Hrown declared the whole
action waa engineered by Max Knuff
mnn," said Mr. Wood, "he made a state
ment that Is such a Joke I didn't know It
would bo tnken seriously. It's all so new
to me I can't understand why ho should
have said It. I'm going to Investigate
tomorrow, however. Mr. Kauffinan Is
not half the friend of mine ho Is of Judge
Brown."
