MOTHER Os RABY
CLEARS MERRITT
Dr. Smith Says He Will Show
Up Foes of Tuberculosis
Sanitarium.
Following an investigation of various
charges against Dr. S. W. 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 tp
have mistreated, and a tour 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
fault was 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. J promisd 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 to
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 supper con
tentedly.
It was the little five-year-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.
“I told the doctor to whip the child,
because she was very hard to control,”
said the flail 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 her.
But 1 guess the patient was wrong.”
All the witnesses to the affair denied
that the child was smothered.
There was a report that Dr. Merritt
had choked a woman, it reached the
ears of cltv 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 Ge orgian Terrace
to dinner as the guests of Dr. Merritt’s
mother
Wants Investigation.
"I am not denying that there is some
basis for all these renorts.” said Dr
Merritt. "That’s why I want an Inves
tigation to reveal the Incriminating
slanders. We have fed some of our pa
tients weinerwurst 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-Tubercu
losis association
He said that Dr Smith and Dr. Mer
ritt would not co-operate with his as
sociation and that the hospital was be
ing mismanaged.
Dr. Smith was not present al the
meeting, but when lie appeared befoie
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 -ill
agreed that It should make a thorough,
inspection and report on the hospital.
The hospital stands on one of th4
most beautiful sights around Atlanta,
the location of one of the batteries with
which Sherman shelled the city It has
101 patients at present. Twenty-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 Th*
children are all happy and playful.
The institution cost less than 140,000
.vet 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 inonev the institution has
not been duplicated in the United
States.” said Dr, Smith
There Y a negro ward in a separate
house.
"Do \ou have negro nurses sot
them. Dr Merritt was asked.
“No." he replied We haxt while
nurses. And we have nurse.-, not wom
en in uniforms.”

PAID FOR DYNAMITING
BRIDGES. IS CHARGED
I
INDIANAPOLIS. IND.. Oct. 24.
i That George O’Donnell, heretofore sup*
I posed to be dead, and formerly a mem
bet of Denver Ironworkers local, who
served a prison term for blowing up a
bridge at Somerset. Mass.. June 15,
1908, was paid for the job from the iron
workers' international dynamiting fund,
was the assertion of the district at
torney in Federal court here this morn
ing.
This alleged fact was brought out
dining the testimony of Police officer
William H. Medley, of Somerset, Mass.
Medley told of the dynamiting of a
bridge at Fall River, Mass., April 26,
1908. being erected by the American
Bridge Company, and the bridge at
Somerset, being erected by the Phoe
nix Bridge Company.
O’Donnell's prison term has expired.
He has been supposed to be dead, but
he is not.
J. G. Carver, of Trenton. N. J., time
keeper for the American Bridge Com
pany, told how a bridge being put up by
his company at Pelham Bay was dump
ed into the bay the night of February 3,
ISOB. when the guy clamps were re
moved.
Janies T. Lane, bridge superintendent
for the McLintic-Marshall Construction
Company, testified to the fact that dy
namite wrecked the Denison harbor
viaduct being constructed at Cleveland,
Ohio, June 22, 1910. Lane was night
watchman on the job that night.
MACON TO KEEP FIGHTING
FOR NEW CENTRAL DEPOT
MACON. GA., Oct. 24.—The failure
of the officials of the Central of Geor
gia and Illinois Central systems to give
a definite statement as to just w hen
the new depot will be built here has
spurred the citizens of Macon who are
behind the agitation to renewed efforts.
It is now certain that when the railroad
commission hears the petition from Ma
con a delegation will be present from
this city, representing the city council.
Chamber of Commerce and nearly all
of the trade and industrial bodies.
MISS BLAIR IS MAKING
BIG HIT IN "MADAM
Os the man? dramatic offerings that
have been seen at the Lyric, it is safe
to say that none measures up to the ex
cellent performance which Miss Eugenie
Blair is giving in "Madam X" this week.
The play was an immense success at
higher prices and it is not surprising that
its first performance at popular prices
should draw such large audiences and
please so well. Miss Blair has an excel
lent aupnort and the play Is presented in
a manner iluJ haves nothing to be de
sired,

deals with the incidents in the every day
life of a drummer on the road, and con
tains abundant material for laughter.

HIX OF S. A. L. LIKELY
TO BECOME HEAD OF
NORFOLK SOUTHERN
NORFOLK. VA„ Oct. 24.—That
Charles H. Hix. vice president and gen.
oral manager of the Seaboard Air Line,
will be chosen president and general
manager of the Norfolk Southern at an
early date, to succeed E. T. 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 the last week
indicates strongly that Mr. Hix will be
named.
The New York interests that control
the Norfolk Southern are reported to
be divided over Mr. Johnson and for
mer President F. S. Gannon, of the old
Norfolk and Southern, but both fac
tions seem, to be aWe to unite on Mr.
Hix.
There are some who believe: that Mr.
Hix, disappointed at not belhg made
president of the Seaboard Air Line
when W. J. Harahan was named to fill
that position several weeks ago, is more
than eager to go with the Norfolk
Southern, provided the salary question
is arranged satisfactorily,

It Is a Good Time to Be Fitted, Now That
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 chat Li Vida 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.
