SMITH MH FDRPRDHE OF BATTLE BILL Active Head of Sanitarium Tells Health Board to Go Ahead and Investigate. ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS MAN 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. Spratiing, chairman of the council committee supervising the sanitarium management, will intro duce a resolution- at the next meeting of council asking for an investigation. Councilman \. 11. Van Dyke will urge that the hospital be placed under su pervision of the hoard of health. Antagonism between the manage ment of the sanitarium and the anti ttibrri ulosis society is responsible for the clash between Dr. Daly and Dr. Smith. From statements made by both physicians it is appar. nt that the two institutions are at swords' points. Blocking Work, Says Dr. Daly. Dr. Daly t-old the board of health that the sanitarium was blocking the work of the society in its attempt to follow up tubercular path nts. 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 hoard of health. This Dr. Smith denies, although he acids he failed th 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 Battle Hill sanita rium wc want to know it." said Dr. Smith today, “and I have askad Coun cilman Spratiing 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 lid not ask for a place on the Grady staff, but merely the use of the Grady 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 anti-tuberculosis 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 w hat Dr. Daly had to say. That the management of the hospital is not what it should be. Dr. Daly fhaintained, and he said today that he would back his assertions that file management was bad, if called upon to do so. In speaking of the management of the hospital, Dr. Smith said: "The hospital represents an expendi ture of but $40,000 umd it is doing as much work as other'instltutions which cost the city $200,0J0. 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 mittee on hospitals and charities, of which F. J. Spratiing is chairman. Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist; Dr. J. B. Kennedy, health officer, and the mayor are ex-officio members of 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 Gs.rtrell street, for vio lation of the for.une telling law. This action followed the trial of Tom Tolbert, a ne ;ro, who was arrested when the palmist is said to have de scribed him to Amanda Fleming as the thief who had stolen the latter's brace let. There was no other evlden against the negro and the case was dismissed.

Son Is Sentenced to Term of Three Years For Death of father ————— Trivial Quarrel Over Scratching Chickens in Hart County Led to Killing. HART \\ ELL, 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 u, | the gun which his father had laid upoi j the ground, the son fired, the entir i load taking effect in the hip, causin' i the death of his father tn less than I 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, j He stated that he believed his son had j no intention of pulling the trigger of I the gun, and that he was the victim iof an accident. The fact, however, that I Robert did the shooting with bis fath ers own gun, which lie picked up from I tiie ground, was evidence enough to dis j prove,the plea of accident, and the jury I returned a verdict of voluntary inan | -’laughter. POLICE START WAR ON STREET MASHER: SIOO.OO FINE FOR ONE The street masher must go. j Both Chief Beavers and Recorder I Broyles say so. Women and young jgi'ls, they declare, must be protected I from insults in the street. (lie effect of til's declaration was | manifest'd when Judge Broyles itn l posed a fine of $100.75 or 30 days on J. 1 P. Kimsey. of Gainesville, Ga. accused of addre ting an ins iltiug r. mant io u giri at Broad and Mitchel! sir -ets. The girl, who is employed downtown and attends a business school at night, had just ' U; thi school Thursday night and was waiting for a ear at the time of tiie alleged insult. The girl called for help, and the “masher" harried away. Determined that he should not escape, however, the gill followed and says siie kept her eye on him until he entered a barber shop in Mitchell street. She then point'd out Kimsey to Policeman Rpndnll, who took the young man into custody. Kimsey denied he was guilty, pro testing that it was a case of mistaken identity.

OPPOSES MEH IN LOVE BATTLE Mrs. Lula Mclvet, who lives on Fra sgr street, today is free, but pondering ;i warning from Recorder Broyles, fol lowing a dramatic scene in police court [in which T. B. Pinkston, a young man I 22 s * a. s of age, 16 Connally street, took ■ sides with Mrs. Mclvet against his mother when the latter charged the woman with "enmeshing" her son and also luring her font teen-year-old daughter into cheap theaters. The rema kable action of the son brought forth a scathing reprimand from the court. "Your inotJier lias a thousand time* more sense than you have, and you should take her advice and let this woman alone," said the recorder to I young Pinkston. "Likes” Pinkston “Very Much.” "Anyway, she's old enough to he your mother," he added.

Judge Broyles said the evidence was not sufficient and dismissed the case of Mrs. Mclvet, but warned her that he would give her the limit of the law if jshe should be convicted in his court. INTENSE FEELING IH mm RAGE Steady streams of visitors into the campaign headquarters of the two mayoralty candidates marked the prog ress of the campaign today. F> ling 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 race, while there were three hot contests in tiie first primary. Expect Only 7.500 Votes. The average of the 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 Tiie Geoigian 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 cle ks 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 larget 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. Dr. 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. Al (H SIA, GA., Oct. 5.—A1l engineers on the Georgia railroad went out on an order to quit operating trains at 5:30 o’clock this aft ernoon. The order was issued by Frederick A.

K Scott, president of the Georgia railroad, wired Governor Brown about 2:30 this afternoon that, the situation along the Georgia road was growing more serious all the time, and asking the governor to wire the sheriffs and mayors along the road to use extra diligence to see that order along the road is maintained. The governor declined to accede to Mr. Scott’s request, holding that, un der tiie law, he could not take the Ini tiative In matters of that kind.
