here last July. He worked as an in-
surance and real estate man, although
It was reported he was engaged in the
oil business. Early In July he was
arrested by the police while In com-
pany with the Ratliff girl; at least
that is the name the girl gave, which
appears on the police court record.
They were charged with lewd conduct.
Thc pair were arrested In a house in
the east part of the city where Vaughn
had rooms. The police were notified
at the time that Vaughn and a girl
were occupying the same room there
ear'll night. Vaughn gave bond for
his appearance as well as the girl, but
when the case was called the follow-
ing morning neither appeared and the
bonds were forfeited.
Two days later both were arrested |
on the same charge, neighbors bav- LliapU.r ln
ing again notified the police. The
couple failed to appear In eburt and
the bond was forfeited. It was about
tills time that County Attorney Dono-
hue was notified and asked to swear
out a warrant for the arrest of Vaughn
on a statutory charge. The county
attorney stated at the time that he
would proceed in the case if some per-
son would swear to tho complaint. It
was about this time that Vaughn and
the girl disappeared from the city.
According to the statement of Chas.
Allen, chief of police, who was work-

arrested and later released. Chief

At this meeting the membership
rolls of the Spugs—the society for tho
Prevention of Useless Giving— wero
thrown open to all residents of tlie
United States who might want to en-
rol) against tho foolisli Christmas
gift. Having grown from handful to
more than 5,000 within a few weeks
during the last Christmas season, the
Spug3 have outlined for this year a
national campaign and hope to est-
ablish societies in all cities end towns
throughout the country.
Mrs. J. Borden Harrimnn presided
at last night's meeting. District At-
torney Whitman, newly enrolled as a
member and Francis Crowninshield
delievered addresses. Mrs. Belmont
was the orator of the evening. Tho
original purpose of the society, she
said was to prevent compulsory giving
by girls in stores and factories to their
employers, the cost urn of collective
giving which the girls felt they could
not afford but which they could not
avoid without embarrassment and pos-
sivle loss of their positions- This
was one of the chief objects of the
society, she added, but not the only
one. Another prime 'atainment
,was a general cul-
tivation. by all classes of givers, of
more thoughtfulness and expression of
personality in making Christmas gifts-
“AVe do not disapprove of collective
giving when it is done on the spur of
the moment,”, she said, “or for some
particular cause, because then H
means that you have collected a sensi
of human fellowship of which tlie
money collected is but an expression.
AVe do approve of It when it is for the
man lower down Instead of for the
man higher-up.
“Some persons think we oppose
giving. For from tt; we do not oppose
giving, but. we advocate intelligent
giving—giving that is done with the
Christmas spirit of goodwill as dis-
tinguished from giving that, is com-
pulsory, from fear cr with tlie hope
of obtaining reward—whether that
reward be tlie favor of the man higher
up or advancement. The world at
large should put more of the Christ -
mas spirit into giving. Christmas
should he a time for every person to
“Some folks say to use, ’of course,
you want to promote useful giving-'
The word useful has many changes
of meaning. Usually when one thinks
of a useful present, it Is a present
decidedly middle-class or common-
place. So we do not attempt to
promote useful giving in the common,
ly accept definition of that word. Tho
thing we are really out to do is to
abolish something. AVe fee] that when
we have done that there will follow
good sense in giving and that every-
body will be profited thereby.
“AVe propose to decrease the cost
of the gift and increase the good will;
