■ OF DOCTORS 15 SEEN HACK OF MERRITTCfiSE I Councilmen Say Charges Are Result of Feeling Between Anti-Tuberculosis Heads. A number of city councilmen de clared today that it was clear to them that the whole trouble about the Bat tle Hill Tuberculosis sanitarium was an estrangement between the managers of the Institution, Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist, and Dr. S. W. Mer ritt superintendent, and officials of the Associated Charities and the Anti-Tu berculosis association, Joseph C. Lo gan and Dr. R, R. Daley. Councilman G 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 health, 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 shown at the investigation yesterday, Mrs. Hilbert Eraser, a prominent social worker and the president of the Shel tering Arms, surprised the committee by 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 it. 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 tlje wom an 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 w-ent 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 all sorts of charges?” asked Dr. Smith. "No, I 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 had made such a statement. The investigation will he 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.
