SMITH EDGER FDRPROBE OF MULE Bill 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 dismissed. j 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. •• •• • • ■ ... , _ TOM WATSON ATTACKS MILITARY FOR THREE KILLINGS AT AUGUSTA AUGUSTA, GA., Oct. s.—Major Abram Levy, commanding the Third battalion. First infantry, Georgia Na tional Guard, today addressed a com munication to Governor Joseph M. Brown, calling attention to The Jeffer i sonian of this week, published by , Thomas E. \\ atson, at Thomson, in which an attack is made on Governor Brown, Mayor Thomas Barrett and the national guard. Watson declares the killing of Messrs. Baker, Dorn and Christie by soldiers on duty here last week is nothing less than murder. He says Governor Brown ordered out the troops without inves tigation.

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.

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.

'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 HOME EDITION 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE 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.
