Hospital Chief Denies Blocking
Efforts to Co-ordinate La

Dr. Claude M. Smith, active head of
the Battle Hill sanitarium, 'today In
vited a complete probe of the manage
ment of the sanitarium as a result of
a clash with Dr. R. R. Daly, of anti
tuberculosis clinic.
Count liman F. J. Spratling, chairman
of the council committee supervising
the sanitarium management, will intro
r’u ea resolution at the next meeting
of oum i! asking for an investigation.
Councilman A. H. Van Dyke will urge
that the hospital be placed under su
petvision of the board of health.
\ntagonism between the manage

tuber< ilesis society is responsible for
the Hash between Dr. Daly and Dr.
Smith. From statements made by both
physicians it is apparent that the turn
Institutions are at swords’ points.
Blocking Work,
Says Dr. Daly.
Dr, Daly told the board of health
that the sanitarium was blocking the
work of the society in its attempt to
follow up tubercular patients. The op
position of the hospital management,
he said, was to sidetrack a plan to
co-ordinate the work of the society, the
t ego clinics and the board of health.
This Dr. Smith denies, although he

to the plan when ordered to do so by
the board of health.

Smith today, “and I have asked Coun

Dr. Smith said that Dr. Daly was

DAY OF CHISES IN
BfILKANSBROIL
Anniversary of Bulgarian Inde
pendence Expected to Bring
Declaration of War.
VIENNA, Oct. s.—This is the day of
crises in the Balkan situation. Aus
trian diplomats anxiously awaited news
from Bulgaria that they predicted
would determine peace or war between
the allied kingdoms and the Moslem
empire. The anniversary of Bulgarian
independence was celebrated at Sofia
today and fears were openly expressed
here that Czar Ferdinand and his ad
visers would use the occasion to pro
claim war on Turkey, appealing to the
patriotic spirit of the Bulgarians.'
One diplomat thus summed up the
situation today:
“If actual war is not proclaimed by
night we can hope for the best. Even
if war is declared there will still be a
chance, but a slight one. The powers
may have influence enough to prevent
hostilities if they act in unison.”
Austrian railway officials declare war
is absolutely certain and all shipments
for Servia and Turkey that come in
Switzerland were held up at the Aus
tro-Swiss border today.
Turkish People
Clamor for War
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. s.—Prac
tical confirmation of the reports that
Bulgarian troops have crossed the
Turkish frontier were secured here to
day. The war ministry announced that
there had been skirmishes between Bul
gars and Turks on Turkish territory.
There was no information available,
however, that the main Bulgarian army
had moved into Turkey.
Gtand Vizier Ghazi Pacha declared
that the Ottoman government would do
everything compatible with dignity to
avert war. although he declared that
Turkish outposts had also reported the
invasion of Turkish territory by Greek
and Servian troops, and that it would
be necessaiy for the government to
maintain its prestige by force of arms
if these reports were true.
Although the grand vizier said that
conservatives in the government are
opposed to the Young Turks’ demand
for immediate declaration of war, the
spirit of the people must be reckoned
with and the populace is almost as a
unit in calling for war.
A r-markable feature of the public
demonstrations here is the great num
ber of women who take part in them.
Hitherto women have remained in the
background when affairs of moment
were in the balance in the Turkish cap
ital, but in this instance they ar
mored either by patriotism or the
twentieth century spirit of unrest.
ATLANTA, GA., SATUR DAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912.
Son Is Sentenced to
Term of Three Years
For Death of Father
Trivial Quarrel Over Scratching
Chickens in Hart County
Led to Killing,
HARTWELL, GA., Oct. s.—Robert
Gray was tried and convicted in Hart
superior court and sentenced to a term
of three years in the penitentiary for
killing his father on May 28.
The tragedy was the result of a quar
rel between father and son over a
trivial matter. The elder Gray was in
censed over the fact that some chickens
belonging to a tenant working for his
son had been scratching up his corn
which had just been planted. Taking
his shotgun he went to the field to kill
the fowls, when his son interfered. Hot
words and blows followed. Picking up
the gun which his father had laid upon
the ground, the son fired, the entire
load taking effect in the hip, causing
the death of his father in less than
24 hours.
The death-bed statement of the elder
Gray was no doubt the means of sav
ing Robert from being convicted on a
charge of murder in the first degree.
He stated that he believed his son had
no intention of pulling the trigger of
the gun, and that he was the victim
of an accident. The fact, however, that
Robert did the shooting with his fath
er’s own gun. which he picked up from
the ground, was evidence enough to dis
prove the plea of accident, and the jury
returned a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter.

OLDFIELD PICKED
FDD GRAND PRIX
Betting Odds at Milwaukee
Shift When Famous Racer
Enters Contest.
MILWAUKEE. WIS., Oct. s.—At
10:09 o’clock Robert Burman, in his
giant Benz, was sent away first in a
field of twelve in the Grand Prix race,
the automobile classic of the year. At
intervals of one minute the other cars
crossed the starting line and the race
was on. The track was in the best con
dition it has been in since the racing
started. Drivers pronounced it both
safe and fast.
MILWAUKEE, WIS., Oct. s.—Twelve
drivers, considered the pick of the au
tomobile world, swung their big racing
cars to the starting line just before 10
o’clock today, the hour set for the run
ning of the grand prix, as a crowd of
200,000 cheered itself hoarse.
Conditions were considered perfect
for the premier automobile event. Thou
sands of gallons of crude oil were put
on the course, and laborers worked all
night and early today getting it into
shape. The course was closed at 8:30,
and 500 militiamen guarded it against
encroachers.
Barney Oldfield’s eleventh hour deci
sion to enter the race in a Fiat switch
ed the betting odds, for many in the
crowd believed that if anybody could
win a race at any time with any kind
of a machine, Oldfield is the man.
There was not a starter, however, who
was not liberally backed, and it was
hard to tell who was* the real favorite
with the immense throng. Ralph De-
Palma’s win of the Vanderbilt cup race,
following his Elgin victory, made him a
great favorite with the laymen.

BOARD FOR DEPOTS
MACON, GA., Oct. s.—ln many of
the stores of Macon petitions addressed
to the railroad commission in regard
to the depot conditions here are on
file and are receiving hundreds of sig
natures. The indications are that when

have been enrolled.
The petitions cite that passenger sta
tion facilities here are inadequate and
unsightly, and pray that the Southern

to build new depots or unite in a union
station.
The Chamber of Commerce will hold

Superintendent Brand Says Freights
Will Start From Atlanta And Au
gusta During Day—Trouble Likely
This Afternoon and Night Along Line.
United States Commissioner Neill Still in
Augusta Endeavoring to Bring About Peace
Engineers Not to Interfere Until There I
Danger of Injury From Strike Demonstrations
AT GI STA, GA., Oct. s.—The Georgia railroad passenger train
No. 1 left this city at 8:30 o’clock this morning for Atlanta. No trou
ble is being had witfajhis train and it should reach Atlanta on sched
ule time. A train left Atlanta for Augusta at 9:30 o’clock, according
to Superintendent W. 8. Brand.
No trouble has been reported on the Georgia today, but it is not
known what the afternoon and night will bring forth, as practically
all of the trouble has been had in the afternoon or at night
Superintendent Brand stated
this morning that he would start
freight trains out of both Augusta
and Atlanta at some time today,
but he did not name the hours.
The passenger trains out of Au
gusta and Atlanta are said to be
carrying both mail and passen
gers.
Nothing definite can be announced
in regard to the negotiations that are
now’ in progress looking toward a set
tlement of the strike.
Dr. Charles P. Neill, United States
commissioner of labor, is still in this
city and is holding conferences with
the railroad officials and w’lth the rep
resentatives of the conductors and
trainmen that are on a strake. Dr. Neill
is doing his best to bring about media
tion, but it is impossible to tell at this
time whether or not his efforts will be
successful. If he succeeds, it will be
known in a day or two.
Assistant Grand Chief Burgess, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
stated this morning that he had no
statement to make at this time. It is
generally understood that he will not
interfere until the engineers are in ac
tual danger of being Injured. None of
the engineer/* has been hurt, so far.
Passengers on Floor
To Escape Bullets.
Train No. 27 arrived in Atlanta last
night at 8:55 o'clock with four passen
gers, all commercial salesmen, who had
been given an exciting ride. They had
been sitting on the floor between the
seats for many miles in an effort to
avoid bullets.
The train was fired upon by a crowd
of strike sympathizers at Buckhead, a
station near Augusta. At Social Circle
another volley of shots was heard, but
none of the bullets struck the train,
and it is believed the crowd was merely
trying to frighten the crew. At Stone
Mountain the train struck a long
stretch of greased track on an upgrade
and the driving wheels spun and the
engine puffed for a long time before the
grease was overcome.
Dearing, the little station where Con
ductor Merrill was beaten up on Thurs
day night, was again the scene of trou
ble when train No. 28 from Atlanta
reached It last night. The road officials
had not made up this train with the
mail coach at the rear, as at first, and
strike sympathizers cut off all the
coaches behind the mall car w’hen the
train reached Dearing. They told the
engineer he was at liberty to take the
malls on to Augusta, but he must not.
move anything else. The conductor
telephoned t« headquarters for orders
and was told to bring everything or
nothing. The train spent the night at
Dearing.
Camak Siding Is
Filled With Dead Engines.
At Camak there also was trouble for
No. 28. The conductor found himself
tn a group of men who began a quarrel
with the evident intention of dragging
him into the row and beating him. He
was wise enough to jump back on his
train and signal the engineer to pull
out, without waiting to unload a ship
ment of ice.
Atlanta jobbers are beginning to feel
seriously the effects of the strike. They
are routing many shipments by other
roads, but can not reach local points on
the Georgia road. Grocers in these
points are complaining of running short
of foodstuffs, and the famine which
threatened residents along the line in
the noted firemen's strike of several
years | ago is imminent again. Auto
trucks are being used by some of the
jobbers to deliver goods up to 90 miles
away.
Fifteen locomotives are reported on
the siding at Camak, disabled by hav
ing the water drawn from the boilers
IXTRS

and tanks by cutting- the hose. The
freight train held up there was run
into a siding and. the air hose cut on
each car.
The conductor of Na 28. which ar
rived In Augusta early today after itsl
exciting run, was badly scarred from a
beating given him at Dearing. Several
glasses were broken in the windows of
the coaches. The Pullmans, which are
not the property of the Georgia com
pany. were uninjured.
Jobbers Hard Hit
By Strike Tieup.
Wholesale merchants who occupy
space In the big Louisville and Nash
ville terminal building, the concrete
structure in Central avenue, are up in
the air over Increased expenses follow
ing the strike on the Georgia road.
Their freight Is being routed into At
lanta over the Central and Southern
and neither of these roads can deliver
a car at the terminal building. The
Jobbers are forced to haul their freights
from the Central or Southern team
tracks to their warehouses, at heavy
expense.
The Louisville and Nashville, which
owns the big concrete structure, is a
member of the Atlanta Joint Terminals,
with the Georgia and the Atlanta and
West Point systems. Only freight com
ing in over these roads may be deliv
ered at the terminals. Even the West
ern and Atlantia, which is owned by
the Louisville and Nashville, is not per
mitted to enter the tracks at the termi
nal building. This road and the Sea
board equalize this by paying drayaga
expenses, but other roads make ths
shippers pay drayage.
Some of the biggest flour and grain
firms, with a number of important
grocery jobbers, occupy the Joint termi
nal building, and they virtually are bot
tled up by the strike.
MEXICAN TELEGRAPH

HUNDREDS IN FLIGHT
MEXICO CITY, Oct. s.—Re-estab
lishment of the censorship of the fed
eral telegraph lines caused deep anxiety
here today. Hundreds of Americans
and other foreign residents are pre
paring to flee. In fear that the situa
tion in this state is more serious than
the government has admitted. No cen
sorship has been placed on the cable,
but a rigid one has been fixed on the
land lines.
Nothing definite has been heard of
General Orozco for several days, and it
is reported that he has slipped to Cen
tral Mexico and has assumed the di
rectorship of an army, whose aim is
the capture of the capital itself. Noth
ing has been heard from General Huer

lieved that he had a leaning toward the
revolutionary side. It Is reported here
that he may have joined the insur
rectos.
A state of anarchy prevails In south
western Durango and southeastern Si
naloa. There are no troops available
for service there, and the British mines
have been abandoned. Foreigners are
without protection. Native women have
been ortured and slain, and brigands
are looting unrestrained.
