Columbia, June 3O.-In the case of
It. u. Vaughn former superintendent
OF the state odd Fellows orphanage
at Greenville. who confessed to un-
lawful relations with girls placed un-
der his care and was sentenced to
be electrocuted last December 20, the
Supreme Court To-Day affirmed the
judgment Of the Circuit Court and
the case waS remanded for the pur-
pose OF having another day for exc
cution set. The opinion was written
by Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary and
concurred In by Associate Justices
Hydrick. Watts and Fraser. The next
term OF court of General Sessions OF
Greenville County will be held in Oc-
tober.
Concerning the exceptions. the
court held that the attorneys for
Vaughn failed To show an abuse OF
discretion on the part OF the pre-
siding Judge, and that the right to
insht upon the errors assigned was
waived when the defendant withdrew
the plea OF not guilty. Concerning
the penalty imposed upon Vaughn, the
court says that the same question has
been decided i'm the case Of the State
against Malloy. The court refused
To sustain this exception TO the SEN
tence providing for electrocution.
With reference to the alleged con-
fession of Vaughn. the court says:
"Conceding that the defendant
would have been entitled to all the
rights claimed in these exceptions,
IL he had insisted upon them In the
manner provided by the rules OF prac-
tice. nevertheless. IL clearly appears
that he waived such rights i'm ex-
pectation that the jury would recon-
mend him to the mercy of the court
Efhereby enabling him to escape the
death penalty.
AT the time he withdrew his plea
oi not guilty he had no reasonable
grounds for supposing that the jury
wculd render any other verdict than
that OF guilty" and the method
w'iich he adopted. II would seem.
might have naturally been expected
To Increase his chance OF appealing TO
the sympathy Of the jury. and, there
by. indeed, induce them to recon-
mend him To the mercy of the court. "
Nothing was omitted" says the
decision. during the trial of which
the defendant has just cause OF com
plant. He, his attorneys, the presid-
ing judge and the jury unquestionably
understood fully the nature, force
and effect OF the plea made by the
defendant.
He was represented by an exceed
ingly able counsel; the plea was not
interposed until two days after the
commencement OF the trial, the pre-
siding Judge clearly stated the nature,
force. and effect OF Tho plea, to which
neither the defendant nor his counsel
made any objection. The testimony
which had been introduced indicated
that there were no reasonable grounds
Tor hoping that the jury would render
any other verdict tlan that Of
guilty"

NEW HAVEN, Conn. May 17-Yale
sprahg surprise by defeating Harvard
In the annual dual track meet on Yale
Field this afternoon. 56 points to As. The
Crimson had entered the meet a general
favorite because Of its well balanced
team. but the Blue unexpectedly captured
fourteen Of possible sixteen points in
the SSO-yard run and 22O-yard hurdles
which virtually won the meet.
Despite unfavorable weather conditions
three new dual records were made and

TO ELECT OFFICERS
FOR ATHLETICS TODAY
Assistant Managers of Several
Teams Will Be Chosen and
Reports viii Be Made.

Today will be the biggest day of the
year at Georgetown. as all of the big
elections for the coming year will be
pulled off namely. the captain of the
track and base ball teams. and all the
vacancies left by the men who will grad
uate in June. This will include the presi-
dent of the athletic association.
From the information received this
morning it is fairly certain that Eddie
Stebbins will be elected captain of the
track team, as he has been one of the
mainstays on the team during the past
winter At Baltimore in the last inter
collegiate meet this wonderful athlete ran
the quarter mile in 80 seconds, breaking
the south Atlantic intercollegiate record.
Although this is Stebbins' first year as a
member Of the Georgetown track team
still he will probably receive the honor
of leading the team next year.
The-base ball captaincy rests between
Jack Connolly and Chris Fienle. Both of
these, men feel absolutely certain of win
ming. This is Fienle's third year on the
team, and he has done a great deal for
base ball at Georgetown. During these
three years he has been the mainstay in
the box, and has pitched many a vic
tory for the Hilltoppers. Young Con-
nelly is one of the most popular men at
the college and most of the college stu
dents are roofing hard for Connolly to
pull victory. This is Conneliy's sec
ond year as member of the team He
played right field last year. and has been
playing second base during the past
year.
In the election for the presidency of
the athletic association il is almost GER
tain that Mclaughlin will win. although
he will be opposed by McNulty AS this
position is one of the highest offered by
the athletic association there is a great
deal of rivalry evidenced
For assistant manager of the track
team the freshman class is running Nc
Gargey. While the sophomore class will be
represented by Phillips. Both of these
men are mighty popular with the stu
dent body and the fight for this position
will be an interesting one, both sides at
present claiming victory.
For assistant manager of the base ball
team the freshman class is boosting Dill
Harrington. the brother OF Tom Harring-
ton, who handled the base ball team this
past spring. The sophomores are running
Freddie Murray, the star foot ball player.
There is no doubt but that Murray is one
of the most popular men at Georgetown
today and stands a fine chance of getting
away with the honor.
At this meeting tomorrow the reports
from the base ball manager will be read.
and also the report from the track man
ager will be read and most likely will be
accepted.
