Name OF Sims--Nill not Fight
Nomination.

washington. Feb. 9.-Preside mt
Wilson today sent to the senate for
confirmation the names of Francis
III. Weston of Columbia to succeed
Ernest Cochran as district attorney
for South Carolina, and James l.. Sims
OF Orangeburg TO succeed j. ID. Adams
as marshal.
Mr.. Weston was recommended to
the department of justice and the
White House for appointment by SEN
ator r. ID. Smith, while Senator Till
man named William j. Thurmond of
Edgeneld for the district attorneys
place and Mr.. Sims for that OF mar
shall. The name OF Mr.. Sims was SUBJ
sequently withdrawn by Senator Till
nan.
Today's nominations came unex-
pectedly. although IL must be said that
those who have kept track OF South
Carolina political affairs here for the
past few months believed that such a
thing might happen at any time.
il Is quite probable that in the case
of no other South Carolina appoint
ments made in years has there been
quite as much interest shown here as
In those sent to the senate today.
Early in the days OF the present ad-
ministration. when the names which
have just been mentioned were sert
to the department OF Justice and TO
the White House. 1t was seen that
some lively developments were ahead
and those who have kept abreast Of
the situation have not been disap-
pointed.
Senator Tillman being in South
Carolina. no statement could be had
from him in Washington. and Senator
Smith, when seen. had nothing to say.
Just when today's appointees will be
confirmed or whether there will be
delay Is as yet unknown here.

cOnuemnatOry resolutions were pass
ed. According to the testimony DR..
Griffin had replied to a question that
Or. saunders was supposed to be
single woman" and DR.. Carouthers
said upon DR.. Saunders saying she
took exception to the reply, DR.. Grif-
fin had promptly apologized and dis
claimed any intention Of rejecting on
her. The chairman of the board said
he did not think the remark often
siVe or he would not have stood for
it. DR.. Saunders, with flashing eyes
dubbed the remark attributed to
as DR.. Carouthers said he considered
it only slip.
Dr. CarOuthers said the relations be-
tween him and DR.. Babcock had been
friendly and there had been perfect
harmony between DR.. Babcock and
the regents until recently, when there
was not apparent just that feeling
there ought to be. He said it was
necessary for the institution to have
harmony and cooperation between all
the officials and subordinates. He
gave it as his opinion that there
would have been peace if DR.. Saun-
ders had resigned.
That DR.. Babcock and the regents
nave coordinate authority and that
q dual head OF the asylum exists is
the opinion Of DR.. Carouthers. Dr.
Taylor had asked DR.. Carouthers if
DR.. Settlemeyer, a member of the
board OF regents, had not denied
knowledge Of any meeting at the ST.
John Hotel with the subordinates
when Dr. Taylor was absent, and
Chairman CarOuthers said DR., Settle
meyer would have to answer that
himself. The latter wanted to make
a statement, but waited when the
committee told him he would be Civ
en- an opportunity to testify.
! Under questions from DR.. Babcock
IL WAS DrOuSnt out from DIR. Ca
routhers that he had said the asylum
friction ought not to be agitated just
on the { Of the legislatures meet
ing, and that he had been afraid last
september the trouble was coming
and that he would like to have resign
ed except he would not do so under
! fire. DR.. Carouthers said he did not
think the investigation would do any
good, as it only made the friction
worse to have it agitated. He said he
was not opposed to the general assem-
bly, knowing everything, only he could
not see where ii would be any good
for the institution for the friction be-
tween the medical staff to be further
aSitated. He stood right behind the
board Of regents and in passage with
DR.. Rabcock said he thought the whole
trouble would have been avert

ne did not propose to fold his hands
and let the young lady be driven out

and efficient official.
