SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2*.
USUAL DEFICIENCY
IN U, S,
Uncle Sam's Expenditures
Are Heavier Than
Receipts.
Washington, Dee. 28.—At the rate
thing* are running now the treasury
department will have to exhibit a defl
clt on June 30, when the current fiscal
year ends. The nrst six months
this fiscal year will soon end and will
show an excess of expenditures over
receipts of from 38,000,000 to 38,000,000.
The receipts for the first half of the
fiscal year are considerably lower than
for the corresponding period of the last
fiscal year, about 380,000,000 In round
numbers. Expenditures In December,
up to the close of business December
jf, were nearly 37,000.000 behind De
cember, 1006, up to the corresponding
date In receipts.
The decline In customs receipts made
up a large part of this deficiency, these
being about 35,600,000 lower thus far ■-
December than In the same period
year ago. For the month of December
thus far Internal revenue receipts have
fallen about 32,000,000 behind those of
the came period a year ago.
The working balance In the tress,
ury, as shown by the latest treasury
statements Is only 38,533,677, a remark
ably low point. But a few years ago I
was thought essential to have a work
lag balance of about 360,000,000.
This situation has led to suggestions
that It will be necessary, for the treas
ury to call on national banks for some
of Its deposits now In the hands of
the banks. This step, however, would
be met with vigorous protest from the
bankers. In view of the financial situ
ation. It Is also suggested that a fur
ther Issue of 3 per cent certificates of
Indebtedness be made or that treasury
checks be Issued directly against de
posits In national banks.
To Inspeet State Troops.
Within the next few weeks a United
States army officer will be detailed to
make the Inspection of state troops as
required by law. Under the new Dick
law the army ofilcsr will make the In
■peotion alone. Heretofore General w.
G. Obear has aided, but this Is not re
qulred of him as quartermaster general
of the national guard of the state.
BUTLER A8K8 PROTECTION
FOR COLORED MA80NS,
To the Editor of The Georgian:
As grand master of the colored Free
and Accepted Masons of the state and
Jurisdiction of Georgia, I feel It my
duty to say a few words to the public
relative'to the work of that fraternity
at this time, when the halls of colored
organisations are being blown up and
burned. -
I wish to give ths public ths assur
nnce that wherever In this state Is
teund a^Atasontc. lodge'working under
the Jurisdiction of the Most Worship
ful Unicoi Grand Lodge of Free httd
monument.Jo. honesty, good citizenship
and purity. •
The T.OOO' members of that fraternity,
■nattered over ‘the entire state, are
largely made up of aome of the best
end meet law-abiding colored men In
the stats—men who have mads them
selves a part of tbs communities In
which they live by owning their homes
end living honest and respectable lives.
These men meet as Masons and work
as Masons to Improve themselvss and
to prepare to care for their widows and
orphans. They have- deprived' them-
■elvea and struggled, and have bought
30 acres of land at Amerlcus and have
built a home for their orphans on It,
end are also running an Industrial
school for the children.
In this way they are lending their
humble efforts to the state and aiding
It In Its endeavor to care {or Its poor
and motherless and fatherless children
sad keep them out of the chalngang*
I feel sure that those who are resptm.
slble for the destruction of lodge rooms
and halls of these struggling Masons
are not aware of ths greta good the
enter Is doing.
If any one should doubt what I am
•aylng, I ask that he write any of the
leading bankers and business men In
Amerlcus. Ga., where we spend hun
dreds of dollars every year for the eup.
port of our-home and Industrial school.
In order to Improve ourselves In Ma
sonry and raise funds to push our work
It Is necessary to hold meetings. This,
of course, makes It necessary to have
halls to meet In. In a majority of casee
pur Masons own thslr halls. These
have been purchased at a great sacri
fice. I do think It a great mistake, as
"ell as unjust, to destroy the property
of these poor struggling men.
It Is a serious mistake to destroy the
property off any people. They becom
dissatisfied, suspicious of their neigh
bore, lose confidence In the law and Its
Officers and will finally move away, thus
cresting a labor panic. A dissatisfied
People,, a people. suspicious of thslr
neighbor^ a hopeless people, ore a dan
gerous people.
I would urge that, as far as possible,
these people be made to feel that they
are surrounded by Jhelr friends—
friends who wilt see to It that their
Property, their halls and their homes
are safe. Then we will have a content
ed, law-abiding people In every sec
tion of our state.
I respectfully ask the officers of the
law to please see to It that the prop
erty of the colored Masons Is protected.
I would also appreciate the assistance
the white‘Masons in this endeavor.
Very respectfully submitted,
H, R. BUTLER, M. D.,
Grand Master.

A number of leading physicians were
Interviewed on the proposition Satur
day, and. altho several of them heal-
tated to have tholr names used, all of
them favored the proposition anil all
were of tho opinion that no physician
should be elected a life-member of the
board.
Among those who favor the change
I* Dr. T. D. Longlno, who le a mem
ber of the board of trustees of the
hospital. Dr. Longlno said:
Dr. Longino Favors It,
1 havo always favored the rotation
eystem. Dr. Kendrick’s suggestion
strikes me as a good one.'
In speaking of the proposition, Dr.
W. C. Warren said:
”1 a in not personally Interested In the
matter, but the suggegstlon of Dr. Ken
drick is a good ono. The medical board
lies long been a close proposition and
haa not been unmlxed with politics.'
Dr. R. R. Klme said:
”1 havo not thought about the prop-
os t Ion to any great oxtent. but I do
believe that no physician has anv life
time right to serve on the medical
board of an Institution kept up by the
city. I believe the rotation system is
a good one.”
Dr. E. C. Davis said:
"I have not carefully considered the
proposition, but from what I know of
conditions generally I think tho Idea a
good one."
The board of trustees of
The board of trustees of the.hospital
will hold "a meeting Tuesday and- It is

At -If* meeting 'Tuesday the Bbaiir
will also take some action on the propo.
sltlon to allow “bedside teaching" of

Members of the medical board who
voted In favor qf the .proposition at the
meeting Monday night declined SatdN
day to make any statement In regard
to the matter upon 'tiro ground that It
would InvoWe' ft bitoteli of medical eti
quette to make public any matters
which come before the board In execu
tive session.
That "Bedside Teaching.”
It Is understood that the contention
of-the physicians who favor the plan Is
not that students shall be allowed to
practice In the charity wards of the
hospital, btit that they shall only he
allowed to visit patients In company
with skilled phy'slciahp and see opera
tion* performed for purposes of In
struction.
The proposition has caused consid
erable discussion among the public and
the outcome-ls awaited wlth much In
terest.
In speaking of the discussion Attor
ney Reuben Arnold said!
"The gentlemen on both sides of this
discussion are good friends of mine. 1
have read the Interviews In regard to
the matter and I must say that In my
opinion those who oppose the use of
the hospital by medical students have
the best of the argument. I do not
believe that the Grady Hospital should
be made the wcene of contentions that
would probably arise. If one Institu
tion were let In all would havo to be
let In under the law for there should
be nti discrimination, and this would
lead to a law giving equal recognition
on the hospital staff to all medical col.
gee.
"If the medical colleges desire hoe
pltals they should establish them,
think It Is wrong for unfortunate per
sons who are Inmates of the hospital
to be made a spectacle for medical
student* and have their Ills experi
mented upon. The bent thing for the
city to do Is to keep entirely out of tho
controversy and allow no college the
privilege."
Letter ef Defenee.
The members of the medical board
who voted in favor of allowing the
medical students the privilege of bed
side teaching In the charity wards at
the Grady Hospital.are up In arms, and
a'serious split between these and those
opposed to this idea It Imminent.
A member of the board stated Sat
urday morning that those favoring the
teaching had written a letter to Aider-
man Joseph Hlrsch.,president of the
board of trustees of the Grady Hospital
charging that the writer and those who
voted with him had been grossly mis
represented. and Intimating that other
members of the board were responsible
for these misrepresentations.
