6 MUST E-E TRIED BEFORE: MAN HANGS Governor to Respite McNaugh-l ton Until After Mrs. Flanders Faces Jury in Emanuel.' Governor Joseph M. Brown has ad dressed a communication to Solicitor General Alfred Herring-ton, who repre sents the state in the famous Dr. W. J. McNaughton murder case in Swains boro. informing the solicitor positively that Dr. McNaughton should not be hanged before the case against Mrs. Mattie Flanders, who was jointly in dicted with McNaughton for the mur der of Fred Flanders some three years ago, is disposed of. Information had come to the governor that a tacit agreement again to con tinue the case against Mrs. Flanders had been reached between the state’s counsel and the counsel for the woman. The governor, accepting this Infor mation for what it was worth, then placed the solicitor on formal notice of the executive attitude In the matter. The case against Mrs. Flanders must be called at the term of the Emanuel county superior court and disposed of, or the governor will res pite McNaughton until February. The governor Is determined that Mc- Naughton shall not be hangod before hte alleged accomplice in crime is tried. ■The understanding to continue the ease may yet bo reversed, and the case called during the present term of the oourt. It may be, indeed, that the gov ernor’s letter to Solicitor Herrington will operate to change entirely the stat us of things with respect to this ease, and a hearing may be had immediately. Although indicted more than two years ago. jointly with McNaughton, Mrs. Flanders never has been tried. RAIXIES in polk county. CEDARTOWN, GA.. Oct. 24.—Chair man J. B.

Merritt, su perintendent of the Battle Hill tubercu losis sanitarium, the virtual acquittal of the superintendent by Mrs. James Ingram, whose child he was said to have mistreated, and a tout of inspec tion that showed the institution to be in fine condition, Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist, today declared that he would trace to their source the many slanderous reports and show that the faulrwas with the accusers rather than with the institution Dr Smith and a representative of The Georgian made a visit to the insti tution yesterday afternoon and investi gated the numerous reports about mis management Smith Seeks Complete Probe. “We want a complete investigation, " said Dr. Smith. ‘Some outrageous slanders have been circulated against the institution and we want to know who is back of them. I promise to bring out some very interesting and illuminating facts before the council committee.’ Dr. S. W. Merritt, superintendent, denied the published statement that he had smothered a tubercular child tn stop its cries. He said he stifled the cries of a robust but Incorrigible child with a pillow -when it was disturbing the whole institution and all gentler methods of keeping it quiet had failed. The child was subdued in a moment and proceeded to eat its suppet con tentedly. It was tlie little five-yea;-old daugh ter of Mrs. James Ingram, the wife of a street car motorman, who is now in th hospital at the point of death “1 told the doctor to whip the child, because site was very hard to control,” said the frail little woman, in a weak voice, as she lay on her cot in the hos pital yesterday. “I heard from one of the patients that he had smothered het. But I guess the patient was wrong.” All the witnesses to the affair denied that the child was smothered. There was a report that Dr. Merritt, bad choked a woman. It reached the ears of dtv officials, it developed that Dr. Merritt had forced a woman to open her mouth to show whether or not she was dipping snuff, which is against the rules of the hospital. The woman left the institution rather than give up the snuff-dipping habit. She worked in the Exposition Cotton mills, but evaded Dr. Smith when he sought her to hear her complaint. Treatment at the hos pital Is free, but no one is kept there against their will. Another report heard by the investi gators was that Dr. Merritt and the head nurse left the institution at the same time for a day. The facts show ! that they went to the Georgian Terrae > to dinner as the guests of Dr. Me ritt’s mother. Wants Investigation. ”1 am not denying that there is some basis for all these reverts.” said Dr. Merritt. ’’That’s why I want an inves-’ tigatlon to reveal the incriminating slanders. We have n>d some of our pa tients weine.i w’urst and pork. They wanted it and were strong enough to eat it. You can’t tell some of them/are ill by looking at them.” The investigation of the institution was started at a meeting of the board of health by Dr. R. R. Daley, head of the medical staff of the Anti-Tubeieu losis association. Ho said that Dr. Smith and Dr Mer ritt would not co-operate with itis as sociation and that tile hospital was be ing mismanaged. Dr. Smith was not present at the meeting, but when he appeared before the board at a later meeting the board washed its hands of the whole affair. Dr. W. L. Gilbert, president of the board, said that a mistake had been made in asking- council for an investi gation. But councils investigating commit tee had already been appointed, and all agreed that it should make a thorough Inspection and report on the hospital. The hospital stands on one of tlie most beautiful sights around Atlanta, the location of one of the batteries w ith which Sherman shelled the .city. It has 101 patients at present. Tw'<nty-five of them are children, either slightly in fected or the children of patients who have no other place to go. They ate taught in an open-air school room. The children are all happy and playful. The institution cost less than $40,000, yet it is provided with 185 beds, more than the Grady hospital. It was built jointly by the city and county. Every thing is clean and attractive. ’For the money the institution has not been duplicated in the United States." said Dr. Smith There i« a negro ward in a separate house. “Do you have negro nurses fori them’.’" Dr. Merritt was asked * “No.” he replied. “We have white I nurses.

LIKELY TO BECOME HEAD OF NORFOLK SOUTHERN NORFOLK. VA.. Oct. 24.—That Charles H.

Lamb, re cently elected head of the Atlanta, Bir mingham and Atlantic, now seems a strong probability. There are still those who Incline to the belief that W. R. Johnson may be come the Norfolk Southern head. but the turn of affairs within tlte last week indicates- strongly that Mr. Hix will be named. The New York interests'that control the Norfolk Southern are reported to be divideel over Mr. Johnson and for mer President F. S. Gannon, of the old Norfolk and Southern, but both fac tions seem to be able to unite on Mr. Hix. There are some who believt that Mr. Hix, disappointed at not being made president of the Seaboard Air Line when W. J.

ChamberlWohnsoiuDußose Company Atlanta New York Paris It Is a Good Time to Be Fitted, Now Tha Mrs. Marvin Is Here, Demonstrating La Vida Corsets . We believe we reflect only what is generally conceded when we say that this Corset Department enjoys the supremacy of the field here in Atlanta. The reasons for this supremacy are not hard to find—once you start to analyze it, to get down to the whys and wherefores. Expert and conscientious fitters have much to do with it, women who know corsets, and what is more, know the human anatomy and are capable of selecting the models that are best suited to the many different figures that they have to fit. And then the corsets, the materials out of which we have built our reputation. Prominent, foremost of these have been La Vida Corsets We long ago recognized the ability back of these corsets, the genius for making the best. That we should recommend La Vida Corsets is only a mat ter of explaining their making, the materials and the splendid style that go into them. The La Vida people go to Paris for their models and then alter and adapt them to better suit the American woman. The materials, the coutils, the batistes, the brochets, the brocaded silks, the boning, are the best. Then the corsets are hand-made, which means their shape is lasting. You need never fear that La Vida Corsets will ever lose their original excellent lines. All in all, we know that Li Vidi Corsets mean satisfaction. We always feel that we have made a friend for the department when we fit a woman with a La Vida. And right now that Mrs. Marvin is here from the La Vida factory, it is an excellent time for you to be fitted. A few minutes with her and a whole season of corset sat isfaction will be yours! It will be time well spent. v ChamberlindohnsoiuDußose Company 1-. . s •’ ■’' > YOU MAY HAVE THE BEST Rooms for Rent in all Atlanta—-you know it—but the hundreds ol people who at this season of the year are looking for accom- j modations do not know it. • I It is up to you to tell them you can, if you advertise in "Rooms for Rent,” “Apartments for Rent” or the “Boarders Wanted” column of The Georgian.
