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.” HIRES ALL AUTOS TO FOIL HIS ABDUCTORS LITTLETON.

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, DUBLIN MINISTER MODERATOR.

Ch amber li n=Jo hnso n=Dußose Compan y Atlanta New York Paris * 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!
