SENDS VAUGHN TO ASYLUM.
Former Head OF Odd Fellows Or

pAn nome IS Under Observation.
Columbia, March 29.-Thurston u
Vaughn, uAder death sentence for
abuses he has confessed to having
committed upon girls who were in
his care when he was superintendent
of the Odd Fellows orphan home at
Greenville, was yesterday removed
from the State penitentiary and COM
mhtted to the State Hospital for the
Insane for treatment and for obser-
vation.
Orders providing for the transfer
were issued by Frank b. Gary of Alb
pevllie, circuit judge, upon the appli-
cation Of Proctor A. Bonham, solicitor.
counsel for Vaughan concurring. Last
October Vaughn was taken back to
Greenville to be resentenced, the SUI
preme court having denied his petit
tlon Tor new trial, but stay of
execution was obtained by his at
torneys pending an examination as to
his sanity.
Recently a Columbia physician, J..
Hayward Gibbes, M. d., has been
studying Vaughan's case, by request
Of Solicitor Bonham and Gov. Man.
ming. DR.. Gibbes thought that condi-
tions for fair and clear determine
ton would be better at the asylum
and 1t was on Gov. Manning's sug-
gestion that Judge Gary was asked to
authorize the transfer.
DIR. Gibbes will treat and observe
the patient at the asylum in coopera-
tion with members Of the staff and in
time Will report his conclusions,
Writing not long ago to Solicitor Bon
ham he advanced the surmise that
Vauhgan was "malingering," but said
this opinion was subject to revision
under conditions more favorable to
observation.

just prior to adjournment:
The representatives of the allied
governments, in conference at Paris.
March "a and %, 1915, affirm the
complete community of views and
solidarity of the allies. They confirm
all the measures taken to realize unitv
OF action or unity Of front.
They understand by that, at the
same time, unity Of military action,
assured by the entente concluded be-
tween the general stats, unity of eco
nomic action, the organization of
which the present conference have
regulated, and unity of diplon attic
action. which is guaranteed, by their
mistaken will to continue the strug-
gle to victory for the common cause.
The allied governments declined to
put into practice in the economic do
main their solidarity of views and
interests. They charge the economic
conference, which is to be held short
iy at Paris, to propose for them ap-
propriate measures for the realization
Of this solidarity.
With a view to strengthen, coordi.
nate and unity the diplomatic action
to be exercised to prevent the re-
victualling Of the enemy, the confer
ence has decided to establish at Paris
q permanent committee in which all
the allies will be represented.
The conference has decided: First.
to continue the organization already
begun. at London. OF an international
central bureau OF freight; second, to
proceed in common and with the
briefest delay to seek practical means
to apportion equitably between the
allied nations the charges for mari
time transportation and check the
rise In freight rates"

respective governments because each,
with the exception of Russia, was rep
resented by its principal ministers and

They Will remain in a county for
three months and visit every home
In the community in which they work.

lessons Of modern sanitation.
The ultimate object of this work
Is to educate a county to the aecessrf- :

BANK DIRECTORS MAKE RECORD
FOR ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS
Average Number Present for Sessions
of 1915 Was IA of II Members

The Corn Exchange National Bank Is
sticking out its chest today. metaphor
ically speaking. 1t is elated over us
record for the year 1918.
During the II months prior to January
/ an average attendance of IA directors
out of possible II was registered at each
meeting That Is why the bank and It's
officers are proud. The latter say that the
Corn Exchange is bank where the
directors really direct.
Charles S. Calwell, president of the
bank, said today that he considered this
an unusually good record, and pointed out
that the percentage for attendance was
even greater than the figures would moi
cate. because during half the time there
were only l6 directors. Samuel Dixon
having died about six months ago
"Our directors are all interested in the
welfare of tie bHrk.' said Mr.. Calwell'
''They put aside other things and come
to the meetings faithfully because they
are enthusiastic about the work intrusted
to their care
Mr.. Calwel said that the average for
1915 was an Improvement over the pre-
yious year, when an attendance or l. out
of Is directors was recorded.
Another thing which the bank thinks
1t should be proud OF is that It Will not
lose a single director when the inter-
locking directorate clause OF the Clayton
act goes into effect next autumn.
That law blocks the interlocking or
directorates, but only rev corn EN-
change directors are directors OF other
banks and these men will resign their
other directorships to give all their time
to the Corn Exchange Bank.
