BETTER HOSPITAL

. LONGIf
Urges County and City To
Combine On Modern
Structure.
LT
Councilman T. D. Longlno, chairman of
tho hospital committee and ex-offlclo mem
ber of tho hospital board, Will appear be
fore the county commissioners at the next
'session of the board to urge the erection
of a magnificent oew $100,000 combination
cltr and county hospital.
Councilman Longfno Is chairman of the
commlttoo appointed by the hospital board
to coufor with the county commissioners
relative to this matter.
* With City Warden Thomas Evans, he has
been working several months perfecting de.
tails of the plan, and now he feels that
ho can convince the board that ouch «
hospital should be built.
•The county of Fulton,” he stated Mon
Pinn is 10 erect a nen
white people at some good
hospital to accommodate 250
and to convert the present G
day morning. ”bas no place for her nick
people, and they can not ho taken to Grady
hospital.
“Poor people won’t submit to being taken
to the poor house when they are III, nor
to the hospital at the convict camp. When
people need hospital treatment, tbs county
should havo a suitable hospital to send
them to.
“My plan Is to erect a new hospital for
’ * __ * ‘ location, tola
white people,
. present Grady hospital
to a negro hospital entirely.
•‘Atlanta has btft one municipal hospital,
and It has only 125 beds. Augusta, with
half the population, has a white and a
negro hospital, the former with 130 beds
and the tatter with 80. Here In Atlanta,
the negroes and white people nre herded
together In one hospital, and that an old-
fashioned affair, with an utter lack of ac
commodations.
••Atlanta Is forty years behind the times
In hospital facilities. With the present
hospital devoted to negroes, and a new
combination city and county hospital able to
accommodate 250 white people, this city
would have something in the hospital line
worth while.
• This ward system in hospitals, such as
Is In vogue at Grady, Is out of dote. Every
patient ought to have a separate room.

Vienna Correspondent Says
Francis Joseph is
Stronger.
London, Oet. 14.—The Vienna corre'
spondent of The Express says that Dr.
Neueaer, the throat specialist, and Dr.
Kersell, the emperor's private physician,
are In constant consultation. They have
refused to sign optimistic bulletins
which are Issued by the official news
agency.
Realising that they are misleading,
the people nre unduly pessimistic nnd
are expecting an immediate catastro
phe. The Inflammation of bronchial
tubes has spread downward, and, It Is
said, has caused congestion of the
lungs. This, however, Is not admitted.
The Vienna correspondent of The
Times takes a more cheerful view of
the emperor’s health. He says ho has
excellent authority for stating that his
majesty on Sunday morning displayed
humor of a kind usually Indicative of
returning health and strength. He was
visibly stranger and freeher when he
arose at 8 o’clock, after eight hours’
sleep.

New York, Oct. 14.—One of the moot
startling of the disclosures made at the
government investigation Into the af
fairs of the Standard Oil Company
came today when a witness testified
that for several years the company has
had a bureau set aside for tho sole
purpose of keeping down the price* of
rival concerns.
The bureau, which was under the
supervision of W. E. Bemas. was given
every detail of Information concerning
companies rivaling the subsidiary con.
cerns of the Standard Oil Company by
spies In the employ of the latter corpo.
ration.
Reported Prices.
The startling Information cams from
H. G. Westcott, vice president of the
Standard Oil Company of Kentucky. He
testified that he had often made re
ports as to the prices of oil charged by
rival companies In his state, and he for
warded the reports to the statistical
bureau of which Bemas had charge.
After Mr. Westcott left the witness
stand, a government official connected
with the Inquiry said:
Known to Government.
For years we havo known of the
existence of the bureau, but have not
before been able to find out anything
about It. When It was created It meant
a beginning of the end for the oil
compunlos who remained Independent.
I regard Mr. Weatcott’e testimony as
the most Important we have had at
the Inquiry.”
It was further learned that the bu
reau Is still In existence and.la located
on the sixth floor of the Standard Oil
building at No. 26 Broadway.
Mr. Bemas. however, left shortly be
fore tho Inquiry was started, and Is
now salil to be In Japan.
Kellogg Probes Loan.
‘ In an effort to throw some light
on mysterious loans amounting to 66.-
000.000 credited to James McDonald,
former London manager of tho Anglo-
American Oil Company, Attorney Kel
logg today called A. H. Bralnerd In the
Inquiry before Commissioner Ferris.
Bralnerd Is comptroller of the Stand,
ard of New Jersey, the parent company,
and of six “sub" companies.
The balance sheets of the latter con
cern showed accounts carried as bills
receivable to McDonald for 190B-'06,
amounting to 82,652,113.06.
The witness said while the accounts
were on the books he did not know
whnt they meant.
“I received word from the secretary
In London that the loan would be
mUj °’ Knew Ver/Little.
'•Was It approved by the directors?”
"I suppose It was.”
Mr. Kellogg tried to make the wit
ness recall details of the loan, but hla
efforts were fruitless.
"Did you ever learn that theso
amounts were advanced to McDonald to
carry stock of the Manhattan Oil Com
pany and other supposedly Independent
concerns,” asked Attorney Kellogg.
“I never did.” answered the witness
Innocently. John D. Archbold I* one of
the directors of the Anglo-American
Company, according to tho witness, but
Bralnard could not tell Just what In
terest He had In tha management of
the concern.
