OITY TO RULE ON GRADY PAY CASES] Hospital Board Decides It Has No Power to Change Regula tions and Asks Relief. At the monthly meeting of the board of trustees of the Grady hospital at the Institution’s annex yesterday the mem bers discussed the question of whether the hospital should open Its doors to private patients of reputable physi cians and the extent of the board’s pow er In making rules and regulations. Four of the hospital’s medical board, firs. Willis F. Westmoreland. Cyrus W. Strickler, 1.. P. Stephens and W. A. Crowe, appeared with a resolution re questing that the board of trustees re scind a rule permitting private patients to use the hospital. The position of the committee was that such an arrange ment made affairs at the institution chaotic and was a thoroughly bad and |. disorganizing practice. Another point which the situation suggests, according to Dr. Westmoreland, Is that since pri vate patients are admitted at the rate of 525 a week for board, the Grad.' Is put in the position of running In com petition with private sanitariums. Left to City Attorney. \V. S. Elkin, of the board of trus tees, moved to amend the hospital's by. law on this point so as to satisfy the medical board ami at the same time re lieve the hospital of an iibarrasslng situation. Trustee W. E. Martin ques tioned the board's power change the rules. "That point has been decided by the city attorney.” declared F. J. Spratllng, "and he says the board can pass any rules It wishes that are not in conflict with city ordinances.” Mr. Martin and the others then con sented to let the city attorney settle the matter. Superintendent W. B. Summerall’s report for June showed an average of 136 patients in the hospital per day. an average cost per patient of? 1.56. and a total of 371 ambulance calls. Dr. Sum merall reported that a defective and ' noisy elevator outside was giving trou ble and had even caused patients to leave the hospital. "You can hear it now.” declared Dr. Summerall as the lift started up. "That's a saw. isn’t it?” inquired Mayor Winn. "No, that's our elevator.” explained Dr. Summerall.

'COIThuFF IS a FIGHTER; [ SPEER A SCRAPPER, TOO ! - —1 Interest in the acrimonious controversy now waging between •tndge Emory Speer and Colonel W. A. Huff is not confined to M<ii mi. Both men are widely known, having for many years iHI important part in polities and in public affairs. Here follow character sketches of the two: Huff, at 81, Still Has a Punch As a rule, whim a man finds himself 'vnh the weight of 81 years on his shoulders, he gives up the fighting game and prepares to spend the remaining years of his life peacefully. But not so with Colonel W. A. Huff, of Macon. For years and years down in Macon he has been known as a man "ith decided opinions and a man who never hesitated to express them In plain words and "ho would fight at the drop of th ■ hat. Yes. and he will drop the hat himself. So when he told United States Judge I Emory Speer a thing or two and wrote v. hat many other people In Macon would like to have written but who lacked the nerve, those who know Colonel Huff were not surprised. there are thousands who remember the time whin Colonel Huff and Wes ley Patterson jumped about this state and several others In special trains and private cars trying to dodge high sher iffs and shoot out their differences as Southern gentlemen used to settle dis putes. Both men were anxious to fight and nobody could have been more anx ious than Colonel Huff. Hasn't Lost Fearlessness. That was years ago when Colonel Huff was not burdened with the weight of hts 81 .'ears. But while he may have lost some of the physical strength and activity he possessed at that time,, he has lost none of his fearlessness and his Inclination to fight for what he believes to be right. When lie was mayor of Macon, back in the seventies, he made tilings move, and under his administration the town progressed. It was Colonel Huff who put Macon's noted Central City park on the map, and 1' was he who started | holding the big state fairs there. And up until this day Colonel Huff lias j fought for the preservation of this park and for the perpetual holding of state fairs there. He has never hesitated, too. to fight for tilings he had a hand in doing when he was mayor. Thm sent him to the legislature from Bibb and he kept things moving in the capitol. He was always on the job, and whenever he saw or thought he saw I somebody trying to slip something over, he iiad things to say in a manner all his own. A political campaign in Macon with out Colonel Huff taking a prominent part Is like a show with the scenery and costumes shipped by mistake to an other town. A political campaign in Macon would not be interesting if the colonel was not espousing somebody's ! cause or rather trying to put a crimp I in the other fellow. He's Some Speechmaker. He can make a speech which sizzles and which will make reporters work their pencils on note paper with fever ish anxiety. Frequently he has made | such speeches in Macon meetings and I has expressed bis opinion of men pres j ent and their actions. He knew when I he marie these speeches that he was Ha - ' hie to have to defend himself, but he ! didn’t mind doing that. Sometimes his opinions about public men . nd their actions would be too hot for the newspapers to print. Or maybe thev would be too long and only a short svnopsis could be printed. Then Colo nel Huff would have his expressions prin'.iil in hand-bill oi pamphlet form, and lie would see that the,' were thor oughl> distributed. Only recently he attacked his two i olleagio s on the Macon board of water commissioners in this manner and told things in his frank manner. He has had troubles, too, has < ’olonel Hutt’. His troubles would have crushed many a man ami sent him to his grave. But 'Colonel Huff has a spirit which neither 81 'ears nor sickness nor loss of fortune can crush. Once Wealthy Man. There was a time "hen he was one ’of Macon's wealthiest citizen*. His i home was the show place of the town land he took a leading part in the in | dustrial activities.

WEDNESDAY. JULY 31, 1912. Judge Speer’s Talents Are Manifold Down in Macon. It has been said, the people are divided Into two sets —those who hate Emory Speer vehemently and abidingly and those who think the judge is all right and just about the smartest man In Georgia. He's the sort of man "horn one can not regard with apathy. You've just got to like him immensely or dislike him emphatically. Shout "Hurrah for Emory Speer” on •Mulberry street and one of two things will happen; you’ll either be puinmeled within an Inch of your rife or else lift ed on the shoulders of a dozen men and carried to the nearest near-beer em porium. where each In turn will buy you a difink and propose a toast. It just depends on which crowd happens to be around Fought For South, Graduate of Georgia He was a wonder at college, they say. And he fought four years In the Con federate states army before going to the I’niversitj- of Georgia, which grad uated him with highest honors in 1869. It took him just ten years after gradu ation to get to congress, though his campaign was one of the bitterest In Gem gla politics. He served two terms at Washington, then was appointed United States district attorney. After two years of this, in 1886. he was made United States judge of the Southern district of Georgia. He has sat on that bench for 27 years. and It Is a dull month In litigation when Judge Speer can not break Into the front pages of the newspapers. He has made some notable decisions, many of which have stirred up parti san feeling In his home town and hts section. One of the most Important decisions was that in which he dis missed a negro from the Bibb county ehaingang. holding tiiat ft was a viola tion of the Federal constitution to sen tence a citizen to Infamous punishment without trial before a jury of his peers This decigion In favor of a humble negro felon fanned into a flame the long smouldering animosity against Judge Speer because of his Republican politics. But the judge doesn’t worry about animosity. He lights buck. No Better Georgia Orator. As an orator the judge has no supe rior in Georgia. A scholar of rare at- ; tainments. he has the knack of ex pressing himself In the most beautiful and impressive English This, with a fine physique and an imposing pres ence, makes him a public speaker with but few equals in the country. He takes particular delight in en gaging in repartee from his bench, j Many a poor voting upstart of a law yer has felt the lash of the judge’s caustic tongue, though doubtless It has never been his intention to be unkind. There Is just one case on record In which Judge Speer has met his master at verbal byplay. An old negro, charged with illicit distilling, faced him one day. "What's your name?” asked the judge. “My name's Joshuway,” the darky replied. "Oh. you're the man that made the sun stand still.” the judge remarked. "Naw, sir, boss." Joshua replied, with infinite condescension in his voice. ‘Tse de nigger what made de moon shine." The judge let the case proceed with out further questioning gation over this caused the present con- I troversy. A few years ago, during one of the state fairs, Clonel Huff was thrown from a buggy and his leg and arm were broken. Nearly everybody said Macon had heard the last of Colonel Huff. For he was an old man then and few old men survive injuries he sustained. Bui he fooled them all. He fought a battle with death for weeks and months arid he won out. Although the marks of this tight still show upon him. he is very very active for a man of 81 years and the courage and the fiery spirit of a half century ago are still with him. ’CANDLER TO HEAD FAIR COMMITTEE i Capitalist Named by Commerce Chamber to Work for Geor gia Exhibit at 'Frisco.
