ROM OF DOCTORS 15 SEEN BACK OF MERRITT CASE Councilmen Say Charges Are Result of Feeling Between Anti-Tuberculosis Heads. A number of city councilmen de ■lared today that ft was clear to them trial the whole trouble about the Bat >le Hill Tuberculosis sanitarium was n estrangement between the managers ot i he institution. Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist, and Dr. S. W. Mer ritt. «uperintendent, and officials of the Associated Charities and the Anti-Tu berculosis association, Joseph C. bo tan and Dr. R. R. Daley. Councilman r, H. Boynton, a member of the com mittee. said this was the gist of the matter. It developed at the investigation yes terday afternoon that after Dr. Daley, who is the chairman of the clinical staff of the Anti-Tuberculosis associa tion, charged mismanagement against the institution before the board of eaith, and Aiderman A. H. Van Dyke declared himself in favor of an investi gation, a number of patients called on Dr. Van Dyke to register complaints. When the source of the fight had been -down at the investigation yesterday, Airs. Gilbert Fraser, a prominent social worker and the president of the Shel tering Arms, surprised the committee bv a request to make a statement. Calls Evidence Rubbish. She declared that the evidence against the Battle Hill sanitarium was rubbish and that the committee ought not to listen to ft. Mr. Logan said he did not have any serious complaint except that Dr. Smith and Dr. Merritt seemed opposed to co operation with his association. He said that Dr. Smith was once somewhat rude to Miss Minnie Van Epps, of the Charities association, when she applied for admission to the hos pital for the mother of an Italian fam ily. Dr. Smith said the family was repre sented to him as paupers, while the husband earned $lO a week and a brother sls a week. He said they were saving their money. He said on in vestigation It was found that the wom ’•ii whom they wanted to get into the hospital did not have tuberculosis. The most interesting bit of testimony was the cross-examination of Dr. Daley by Dr. Smith. - Dr. Daley Under Fire. You say you have been hearing these complaints against the hospital since April and yet you have never told me or the committee in charge of the institution about them?” asked Dr. Smith. ' The charges were being investigated by a committee of the association and it was not my business to tell of them,” replied Dr. Daley. "Yet you went before the board of health and made them in my absence?” continued Dr. Smith. "I went before the board of health to try and effect an arrangement of co-operation, and you were not pres ent.” answered Dr. Daley. “When you found me not present you blew up' and made al! sorts of charges?” asked Dr. Smith. "No, 1 did not ‘blow up.'" answered Dr. Daley. "Do you remember speaking to me about your desire to get on the medical staff of the Grady hospital and using some very strong language in declar ing that only those on the inside could get those places?" continued Dr. Smith. "Don't look at me so straight. You an't intimidate me." replied Dr. Daley hotly. Dr. Daley then denied that he nad made such a statement. The investigation will be resumed next Tuesday. Acting Mayor John S. Candler, Councilman C. D. Knight. Dr. Merritt and others will be called as witnesses for the institution. GERMAN AVIATOR KILLED.
