Saunders went into detail in an- 1 swer to everything charged against Sier, and her friends tonight are jubi- 0 lant over what they consider the com- 0 c plete vindication -of herself.

I Members of the committee are now e working on their report. The full reIport of the testimony taken at the r proceedings will be furnished by the S e committee Monday by the stenograph- : a er, Augustus Deal. | g P (What will be the nature of their a report, and what recommendations regarding the operation of the hospital 3 will be made is not known. No mem- B ber of the committee will discuss the matter. j. It is generally expected that Dr. ^ Saunders will be completely exoner- t ated of the vague charges against her.! Her strong presentation of her case 1 \n her address to the committee on j Thursday, and her grilling cross-ex- j animation of the various witnesses j l which appeared against her developed 1 that the grievances her colleagues j held against her were principally the result of what has been spoken of as 'puerile" imagination. ? i Tie investigations of the committee ! c were directed principally to the oper- j r ation of that part of the asylum plant n 1 which is located within the city of I Columbia. Only incidental questions p regarding that part at State Park, o near Columbia, were asked bv the t committee. Replies to these queries c indicated that the witnesses, practi- ^ cally unanimously, regarded the site there as ideal for this proposed pur- . - - - 111 pose, and that further development j. | ? was advisable. , I r As a whole, though, the inquiry 10 dealt with the apparently successful j n ^-.effort cf Dr. Saunders to clear herjt 'character and reputation" of the i p charges which had been preferred j r against her. j s Principal result of the investigation j s so far has been to bring to Dr. Saun- i t; ders, a number of flattering offers of; r positions in large hospitals of the' 0 North, both public institutions and | g ouue insane asyiums. ur. Saunders j a i is noi considering resigning, stated j Dr. J. W. Babcock. superintendent of j the hospital, who has defended her i c ^ throughout tee investigation. j ^ The testimony of the numerous wito nesses appearing before the committee . will make a large book when printed. This in typewritten form will be presented the committee tomorrow for ^ perusal before completing their re- j port. Conversation with a number of per familiar with tho i ^ _ ..."4vu luv/io UJIUU5UI/ : out at the hearings indicated that the ; ^l^ollowing findings will probably be in- 1 v } corporated in substance in the report j [' of the committee: 1: That the cfnarges against Dr. Saim- a ders were not sustained; That the alleged over-stepping of the bounds of her authority was under 1 & ? the orders of Dr. J. W. Babcoek, the ; superintendent, and for the better- d ment of the institution and the com-j*1 Cnri r\f +V> o ir> motot professional jealousy seems to W toe the principal cause for complaint f against her; * That the present hospital plant is t far inadequate for the needs of the State; p That the further and immediate de- ; p velopment of the State Park part of ^ the plant is necessary; ! 0 That the hoard of regents should i 1 ake immediate steps toward equ ling the completed building at St; 'ark and remove there a* many he negro patients at the hospi '.ithin Columbia as possible: That a codification o!' rules setti o:th the duties of the board of : ;ents. the superintendent, the assi nt physicians and nurses as far ossible in detail is advisable; And the committee will probal rge that all officials take a grea' nterest in their work t.ian lieretofo Some persons seem inclined to t 'pinion that the committee will r< mmend some changes in persons !o far as regards the staff, this is tatements of committeemen indicai s improbable. iOVE REJECTED TURNS TO HA' rwo Bloody Tragedies ia Philadelpli ?Four Persons Killed.
