Active Head of Sanitarium
Tells Health Board to Go
Ahead and Investigate.
ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS MAN
j ATTACKS MANAGEMENT]
[Hospital Chief Denies Blocking
Efforts to Co-ordinate La
bors of All Workers.
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.
] Councilman F. J. Spratling, chairman j
lof the council committee supervising I
| the sanitarium management, will intro- I
| duce a resolution at the next meeting-j
of council asking foi an investigation. ]
Councilman A. H. Van Dyke will urge i
that the hospital be placed under su
pervision of the board of health.
Antagonism between the manage- j
ment of the sanitarium and the anti- |
1 tuberculosis society is responsible for 1
| the clash between Dr. Daly and Dr. I
I Smith. From statements made by both I
I physicians it is apparent that the two
I institutions are at swords' points.
Blocking Work,
' Says Dr. Daly.
Dr. Daly told the board of health
1 that the sanitarium was blocking the I
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
college clinics and the board of health.
This Dr. Smith denies, although he
adds ne tailed to state his objections
to the plan when ordered to do so by
the board of health.
“If there is anything wrong with the
management of the Rattle Hill sanita
rium we want to know it,” said Dr.
Smith today, “and I have asked Coun
, oilman Spratling to order a probe.”
Dr. Smith said that Dr. Daly was
miffed because he was refused a place
on the Grady hospital staff last spring.
This Dr. Daly denies. He said that he ■
1 did not. ask for a place on the Grady '
staff, but merely the use of the Grady I
] operating room for his work in connec
tion with the anti-tuberculosis society.
This was refused him.
Charges Rubbish.
Declares Smith.
“This charge that the Battle Hill
sanitarium is blocking the work of the
:inti-tubercul<isis socitey is rubbish,” is
the way Dr. Smith answered the
charges.
"There is no question but that the
work of the society is handicapped by
the attitude of sanitarium manage
ment,” is what Dr. Daly had to say.
That the management of the hospital
is not what it should be, Dr. Daly
maintained, and lie said today that he
would back his assertions that the
management was bail, if called upon
to do so.
In speaking of Ute management of
the hospital. Dr. Smith sail.:
I “The hospital represents an expendi- |
I titre of but $40,000 and it is doing as ,
I much work as other institutions which 1
cost the city $200,000. I will admit we |
do not have room for many of the pa- ■
tients that apply for treatment, but I
am certain, as head of the institution.
. that the management is not bad.”
The Battle Hill sanitarium. built]
jointly by the city and county, is under,
] the management of the council com- ]
1 mittee on hospitals and charities, of
I which F. J. Spratling is chairman. Dr.
, I Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist; |
. Dr. J. B. Kennedy, health officer, and
the mayor are ex-officio members of ]
j the supervisory board.
“NANCY,” PALMIST. IN
TOILS FOR FAKING “TIP”
Recorder Broyles today directed that
a case be made against “Nancy,” a
' palmist at 101 Gartrel! street, for vio
| lation of the fortune telling law.
, [ This action followed the trial of Tom
I Tolbert, a negro, who was arrested I
when the palmist is said to have de- I
scribed him to Amanda Fleming as the 1
thief who had stolen the latter's brace- j
let .'There was no other evidence 1
against the negro and the case was i

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. 5. —Robert
Gray was tried and convicted in Rart
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- I
ref between father and son over a
I 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 com
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 eniir
| load taking effect in the hip, causing
' the death of his father in less than
I 24 hours.
j The death-bed statement of the elder
Gray was no doubt the means of sav-
i mg Robert from being convicted on a
j 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 thsrt 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.
POLICE START WAR
ON STREET MASHER:
SIOO.OO FINE FOR ONE
j rhe street masher must go.
Both Chief Beavers and Recorder
I Broyles say so. Women and young
i girls, they declare, must be protected
I from insults in the street.
The effect of thia declaration was i
i manifested when Judge Brovles irn
j nosed a fine of $100.75 or 30 days on J. I
] P. Kimsey, of Gainesville, Ga„ accused I
I of addressing an insulting remanc io a '
i girl at Broad and Mitchel! streets. The I
' gill, who is employed downtown and
attends a business school at night, had
just left the school Thursday night and
was waiting for a car at the time of the
......
kI'I cailea fur help, and the
masher” hurried away. Determined
that he should not escape, however, the
] girl followed and says she kept her eye
on him until he entered a barber shop
in Mitchell street. She then pointed
out Kimsey to Policeman Randall, who
took the young man into custody.
Kimsey denied he was guilty, pro
testing tiiat it was a case of mistaken
identity.

OPPOSES MOTHER
IN LOVE OBE
Mrs. Lula Mclvet, who lives on Fra
ser street, today is free, but pondering
a warning from Recorder Broyles, fol
lowing a dramatic scene in police court
in which T. B. Pinkston, a young man
22 years of age, 16 Connally street, took
sides with Mrs. Mclvet against his
I mother when the latter charged the
woman with "enmeshing” her son and
also luring her fourteen-year-old
daughter into cheap theaters.
The remarkable action of the son
brought forth a scathing reprimand
from the court.
"Your mother has a thousand times
I more sense than you have, and you
I should take her advice and let this
I woman alone,” said the recorder tn
' young Pinkston.
“Likes" Pinkston “Very Much.”
"Anyway, she's old enough to be your
I mother,” he added.
In admitting that she "likes young
Pinkston very much.” Mis Mclvet
’ frankly said that she had been intend
; ing to quit her husband, who is now
| working in Mexico. Mrs. Pinkston de-
I elated Mrs. Mclvet had been interfer
ing with her son. calling him over the
I telephone, and had caused her a great
deal of trouble. She also said the wom
an had enticed her girl into cheap thea
ters. '
Young Pinkston dented that Mr». Mc
lvet was "interfering with him.”
Judge Broyles said the evidence Was
not sufficient and dismissed the ease of
Mrs Mclvet, but warned her that he
would give her the limit of the law if I
she should be convicted in his court.
INTENSE FEELING
IN NWS RACE
Steady streams of visitors into the
campaign headquarters of the two
mayoralty candidates marked the prog
ress of the campaign today.
Feeling between the Woodward and
Chambers factions is intense. Many
workers are busy on both sides. Indi
cations are that the fight will reach a
very bitter stage within a few days.
Predictions of leading politicians are
that a second primary will poll a lighter
vote than the first, because there is but
one i ace, while there were three hot
contests in the first primary.
Expect Only 7,500 Votes.
The average of tile estimates of many
parties representing both factions is
about 7,500. The vote, in the first pri
mary was 9,500.
John H. Welch, a Woodward sup
porter, wrote a letter to The Georgian
today insisting that the Democratic
executive committee have one Wood
ward supporter as a manager at every
voting precinct in the city. The com
mittee provides for two managers and
three clerks at every voting place.
"No reflection is intended on the
managers and clerks of the last pri
mary,” he wrote, "but it is strenuously
insisted that it would not be fair to
have all Chambers men or all Wood
ward men as the managers and clerks.”
Wards Are Organizing.
Mr. Chambers said he had reports
from various wards in the city and that
larger campaign organizations were be
ing rapidly perfected. The new ward
organizations are an outgrowth of the
big citizens' meeting held in the cam
paign headquarters yesterday.
The Seventh ward committee was or
ganized at a mass meeting last night.
Dt John E. White was named chair
man.
Four Trains Mobbed on Georgia Rail
road This Afternoon at Lithonia,
Union Point and Harlem—Strike
breakers Driven Toward Atlanta.
'Assistant Grand Chief Burgess of the B. of L. E.
Declares His Men Will Be Ordered Off zMI
Trains if Not Afforded Adequate Protection
Commissioner Neil 1 Tries to BringAbout Peace.
Al GUSTA. GA.. Oct. s.—Engineers on the Georgia railroad will
.likely he ordered nol to lake out trains until strike demonstrations
i along the road are at an end. This is indicated in an interview today
] by Erederick A. Burgess, assistant grand chief of the Brotherhood ot
I Locomotive Engineers, who is here to represent the engineers. He
j promises to issue a definite statement later in the day declaring the
attitude of the engineers.
If the engineers are ordered to stop running trains, it will be on
the ground that their lives are in jeopardy and that the railroad com
pany is unable, to afford adequate protection to the engine crews.
Mr. Burgess said that he hail de
manded for the engineers ade
quate protection and that if it was
not secured he would not allow a
single engineer to go out until the
strike is settled. •
"We never engage in sympathetic
strikes,” said Mr. Burgess, "and if we
decide that it is best for none of our
men to take trains out on the Georgia
road we will do so because It is not
safe.
"The trouble at Dearing, at Union
Point and at other places is serious,
and I do not propose to take too many
chances. Our men have a contract, with
the road, but we can not carry out that
contract and at the same time have the
lives of our men in Jeopardy.
“I do not care how the adequate pro
tection is afforded. I am not a mili
tary man and have had no conference
with General Manager Scott in refer
ence to having the militia protect the
trains.
“I repeat that what we must have
before we operate the trains is ade
quate protection for the engineers.
Judging from what has happened dur
ing the last 36 hours. It would seem
that it will be necessary before, many
hours for me to order the engineers not
to go out with trains.
"I have had a conference with Gen
eral Manager Scott and have notified
him that our men must be protected.”
The Georgia railroad passenger train
No. 1 left this city at 8:30 o’clock this
morning for Atlanta. No trouble is
being had with this train, and it should
reach Atlanta on schedule time. A
train left Atlanta for Augusta at 9:30
o’clock, according to Superintendent W.
S. Brand.
Nothing definite can he 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 tn this
city and is holding conferences with
1 the railroad officials and with 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 effort! will be
successful. If he succeeds, It will be
known in a day or two.
Four Trains Mobbed
On Georgia Railroad
A mob of 150 to 200 strike sympa
thizers held up a Georgia railroad
freight train at Lithonia at noon today,
as it arrived at that station from At
lanta. and chased the strikebreaking
crew from the train, capturing one of
them.
As the freight pulled into the Litho
nia yards, men and boys, armed with
sticks and rocks, attacked It. The con
ductor and flagman Jumped from the
• train and started to run. The mob
gave chase, pelting the fleeing strike
breakers as they ran.
Leaders of the mob caught the con
ductor in the woods near the edge of
town. He was told to "beat it” toward
Atlanta and lost no time stalling. The
flagman and two brakemen were al
ready on their way, having outrun the
mob. They were also headed toward
Atlanta.
The male population of Lithonia is
made up largely of union stone cutters,
who are strong sympathizers with the
striking conductors and trainmen.
The mobbed train, deserted by the
strikebreakers, was pulled into a siding
by the engineer and is standing here
this afternoon.
Freight From Augusta
Hefd Up at Harlem.
A freight train which left Augusta
shortly after 12 o'clock today was held
up at Harlem, the conductor and flag
man beaten and the train placed in the
•Idetrack. The engineer was Thomas

Jones, of Augusta. The conductor and
flagman were strikebreakers and they
are said to have been driven toward
Augusta after being' beaten very badly.
The conductor, according to advices
from Harlem, received a severe lick on
the head with a brick.
It is stated that a large crowd gath
ered at Harlem waiting for the train,
and the conductor and flagman were
seized as soon as the train reached the
town.
The freight train which left Augusta
yesterday was able to proceed no far
ther than Dampania. one mile east of
Harlem, where the conductor and flag
man would have been taken off. but
they did not let the crowd get to them.
The two men ran tow’ard Augusta when
the crowd started toward them.
Two Passenger Trains
Mobbed at Union Point.
Passenger trains I and 2 were held
up at Union Point, and both conduc
tors were badly beaten and cut up this
afternoon. A big crowd of strike sym
pathizers attacked the trains as they
rolled into the yards. .
More strike demonstrations have ta
ken place at Union Point than at any
other one station on the road. This is
a junction point of the main line and
two branches, where the sympathy of
the people is largely with the strikers
The strikebreaking conductors and
flagmen made a request for protection
today. At the present time, however,
they are running without arms or pro
tection of any kind.
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 i»o
avoid bullets.
The'train was fired upon by a crow d
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 Slot
Mountain the train struck a lon~
stretch of greased track on an upgra.i ■
and the driving wheels spun and tile
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 tiain with the
mall coach at the rear, as at first, and
strike sympathizers cut off all the
coaches behind the mail car when the
train reached Dearing. They told the
engineer he was at liberty to take the
mails on to Augusta, but he must not
move anything else. The conductor
telephoned to 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
in a group of men who began a quarrel
with the evident intention of dragging
him into the row and beating him. H
was wise enough to jump back or. hi*
train and sigiral the engineer to pu'.l
out, without waiting to unload a ship
ment of ice
Atlanta jobbers are beginning to feel
seriously the effects of the strike. Th< >
are routing many shipments by other
roads, but can not reach local points or,
the Georgia road. Grocers in these
points are complaining of running short
of foodstuffs, ami the famine which
threatened residents along the line in
the noted firemen's strike of several
years ago is imminent again Au o
trucks are being used bj some of the
Jobbers to deliver goods up to 9U miles
i away.
