It calls for an outdoor cliffic build

for clinics for both whites and blacks,
emergency operating room and of
fices for the County Coroner. which
would cast $100.000; a nurses® dormi

iifease hospital, costing $50,000; two
huildings for the ordinary charity
work, one for white persgons and the
other for colored, o cost §5250,000;
children’s wards, $50,000; boiler
room, laundry rooms, kitchen and
orderly’s quarters, $50,000; a private
pay hospital, $150,000; extra land :de
inclosure, $25,000,
..A hospital built upon that plan, l'rv|
Summerall said,» would be adequate
for all purposes and a credit to the
city instead of the disgrace which
the Grady Hospital is now. The pri
vate pay hospital, he said, would
more than pay for the maintenance
of the entire hospital and would in
30 years vy off the interest and
sinking fund on the hond issue.

Dean W, 8. Elkin, of the Atlanta|
Medical College, outlined the imme- |
diate necessity of a new hospital, |
“The Grady Hospital is inadequate, |
a fire trap, unsanitary and a men
ace to all patients and the general
publie,” he said. “They can't attend
10 even a small part of the cases.
There are about twenty ambulance
calls every day and with the present
facilities it is impossible to answer
SRly two op three of such hurry-up|
calls, At present there is no ma

Mayor Promises Help.
“Atvmodern hospital would be one
of the higgest assets of the city and
would do much to ndve‘tifle Atlanta.
Other cities not much larger are now
erecting hospitals costing as high as
slx million dollars. Why can not At
lanta spend at least a million dollars
o hold her own? A munici
-rfil hospital would benerit all and the
taxpayers should be willing to stand
the small additional expense.”
" Mayor Woodward promised his aid
in securing the bond issue and sald
he would fight for the passage of the
proposition should it be placed before
the voters.
Colonel Robert J. Lowry, who has
been a trustee of the Grady Hospital
since itg erection 20 years ago, told
of the necessity for new quarters.
Colonel Lowry told of the beginning
of -the Grady Hospital. Only $6,000
was donated by the ¢ity and the bal
ance was raised by private subscrip
tion, iu- sald,
Question of Bond lssue.
The guestion of whether the hond
issue should be submitted to the Yot
ers together with the numerous other
bonds which come up at the next
election, or separately, was fully dis
cussed. It was suggestei by Mayor
Woodward and others that the hos
pital bonds be separate, to allow the
volers to express their desire more
elearly as (o whether the hospital is
wanted, A two-thirds vote is neces
sary for the passage of the bond ques
tion. The committee of five appointed
will attempt to decide this matter,

talions were ordered to (‘uba, stay
ing there two years andtwo months
Lefore returning to Fort McPherson.
The regimental eguipment, includ
ing the hospital supplies, the wagons,
stock, camping equipment and com
missary and guartermaster’'s supplies,
was sent ahead of the regiment in a
special train that left Atlanta on the
Southern Wednesday afterncon at )
v'eloek.
The equipment train carried 81 en
lated men and three officers, and was
under the command of Captain . B,
Stene, Jr. These soldiers comprised
the machine gun platoon, the regi
mental detachment, teamsters and
stable me¥, and the mAuartermaster’s
detachment of 23 mer. '
Railroads Caused Delay.
The first and second trains will be
routed® over the Southern for New
Orleans, via Birmingham, and from
New Orleans will be sent over the
Southern Pacific to Kagle Pass. - The
third train will go through Montgom
ery to New Orleans and thence over
the same route as the two preced
ing 11,.
IFort MePherson has been alive with
the hustle and bustle of preparation
since the official marching orders were
received a week ago to-day. For two
or three days, however, the regiment
has had its equipment in such shape
that it could have left at a moment’'s
notice, and most of the delay has
been on account of the inability of the
railroads to have the necessary trains
ready.,
The “town’” of Fort McPherson
turned out en masse to see the sol
diers leave Thursday, and several
hundred people went out from Atlan
ta for a last look at the men who have
Leen familiar sights on the streets of
the city for “the last eight years,
Soldiers Well Liked Here.
They will be missed in Atlanta
both officers and enlisted men. The
officers have adorned many a social
function, dancing with the grace that
geems to he the heritage of the army
officer and have captivated the hear!
cireles,
Atlanta, both from a business and a
social standpoint, is sorry to see the
regiment leave. The oflicers have
made a host of friends among the
best known men in the city, and the
general good character and intelli
gence of the enlisted men has given
the regiment the name, in army cir-
cles, of being the "high-brow regi
ment of the service.” ;
IXxpressions of regret that they are
to leave Atlanta, possibly never to
return, were freely made by officers
of the Seventeenth Thursday. Vir
tually évery one declared that if given
their choice they would choose Fort
McPherson in preference to any other
army post in the United States.
Expect to Return,
Most of them seemed to think the
regiment would return to Atlanta af
ter a few months’ service on the bor
der, basing thig belief on’ the fact
that the War Department gave both
officers and men orders to leave their
wives and personal Dbelongings in
Atlanta.
Major George W. Martin declared
that there is little grounds for the
rumors that the regiment is to be
ordered into foreigir service ufter its
duties on the horder are completed.
He expressed the belief that even the
Secretary of War has not determined
what disposition will be made of the
regiment,
“We, are all hoping that the regi
ment will be sent back to Atlanta af
ter we get through patrolling the bor
der,” said Major Martin, “and the
fact that we have heen directed to
leave our families here gives us
‘grunmh for believing that such will
"be the case. We have no reason to
believe that we will be ordered into
foreign service or to another fort.”
Major Martin Praises Atlanta.
Major Martin paid/a big tribute to
Atlanta before he entrained for the
Southwest,
“lvery man . in the regiment, |
| think, is sorry to leave Atlanta,” he
said, “although naturally they are
pleased that they have a chance o
&0 to the front. Atlanta has tteated
us wonderfully: in fact, the manner
lin which Atlanta treats army men
has caused Fort MePherson to hecome
| the favored army post of the country,
| “Every officer wishes to be attached
to the Soventeenth and Fort Me
| Pherson, and | understand that the
War Department is fairly swamped
with requesis for transfers from
| other parts of the country to Atlanta.
| “'Every one of the men, from the
highest officer to the latest recruit,
has a big pilace in his heart for At
lanta. We all wish (0 be returned
here when our duties are finished on
the border
Guard of Fifty Left.
‘There are few places in the coun
try where soldiers -are shown the
courtestes the men of this regiment
have received in Atlanta. The hos
pitality*of the South Is evident at all
times, In other cities, which have
Army posts, army men are sometimes
considered more or less of a nuisance,
but in Atlanta we are all egotistical
enough to believe that the people like
us and litke to have us in their city.
And we like to be here"
The four trains carried a towal of
536 mien and oflicers, leaving 50 men
at the post under, command of Major
L. K. Gagard, as a guard. The prison
ers who have .. a few days to serve
will be left in the guardhouse until
their time expires and then probably
will bhe discharged from the army,
while those whose terms are as high

; DAILY COTTON LETTER
i NEYW ORLIANS, March 19.-—Liver
pool showed ‘strength with futures 3 1o
4 points higher; spots 7 points higher:
sales, 14,000 bales. In the face of this
continued and active spot demand, the
announcement in the press of poor and
declining trade sounds like a story
aitmed at the holders of raw material
on our side.
The Census report published the fol
lowing this morning: 4,753,395 .tons of
cotton seed crushed and to be crushed
from the crop of 1913, compared with
4,589,508 In 1912 and 4,921,073 in 1911,
i’l‘nml linters for crop 629.019 bales in
[ 1012, against 602,324 in 1912, and 566,276
{ in 1911,
These figures show how much closer
the delinting of seed is practiced, and,
hence n:ore-seed crushed. The amount
of linters is no guide to the size of the
crop as in the 16.500.000-bale crop of
1911-12; linters were 36.000 less than in,
last vear's crop of 14,000,000,
l The amount of seed crushed this sea
son 18 3.7 per cent more, against which
the given lint per acre is 5 per cent less
than last vear.
The following adviee from Texas at
| tracted attention: It states that some
cotton that wuas damaged by bad weath
er in the bale was reopened and regin
ned, which increased the ginning fig
ures, This also applies to OKlahoma.
Our market opened about 5 points
higher and ruled quiet, ‘The gain was
lost on dullness, as traders are waiting
for to-morrow's report. The market s
in good shape technically for the report,
which is expected {o show between 14,-
100,000 bales without linters, The final
Census returns last vear withont lint
ers were . 12,488 539 bales.

There Was No Advance Pressure
From Any Source—Coppers
in Good Demand.
By CHARLES W. STORM,
NEW YORK, March 19 —The specu
lative element got a surprise at the
opening of the stock market to-day.
Although there was plenty of incentive
in the fresh anti-trust suit filed by the
Government against the Lehigh Valley
Raflroad and others for selling, there
was no advance of pressure from any
source, TThe bear rumors, directed
against U'nited tSates Steel Corporation
and other important stocks were absent
during the early day.
Lehigh Valley, which was the center
of speculative operation opened at 14515,
then moved up to 146,
Reading, another ‘doaier,”” began at
164 for the loss of ';, and then sold up
to 164%. American Smelting reflected
persistent buying, gaining %. The other
coper stocks were also in demand.
Amalgamateq Copper commenced g
lower, then recovered and registered a
gain.
Ther was renewed activity in some of
the specialties. Central ]lgihf_‘f gained
14, and American Tobacco advanced li.
Among the other gains were the fol
lowing: Union Pacific 2, Mexican IPe
troleum 1, United States tSeel common
;. American lLocomotive %, Rock Is
land common 's, Pennsylvania 'y, Cana
dian Pacific o 5 and St. Paul ly.
lorie lost 15, then recovered. 'Chesa

covered and made a gain.
The curb was steady. i

shhws fair over the Atlantics, continued
cold and cloudy over the rest of the
belt; some rain in east Texas and Ar
lansas; snowing in north Texas and
AMemphis; cold wave in north Texas and
Oklahoma, with freezing temperatures;
indications are for rain or snow in
Texas; dever cold wave; frost tempera

to-night; increasing southerly shifting
to brisk northwest winds on the Louis

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: ‘‘While the talent is devoting its
enforced leisure to various technical
problems, there is a persistent demand
fer the actual stuff and the price level
of contracts is thus raised, slowly but
surely. Stocks at interior towns dwin
dle fast, though those stocks must needs
consist in large part of grades, which
were thought to be unsalable a few
weeks ago. In the meantime the May
shorts, and especially in New York,
wonder what will happen when the
month rolls round. One does not read
ily see how the necessary reserves are
to be attracted by stiff discounts, but
the wise men may, have hidden sources
of supply.
“With the promuigation of the Cen
sus Bureau's report on ginnings to-mor
row, the main bone of contention con
cerning. the old crop will have been
taken away, and it will remain only to
guess at consumption, politics, finances
and similar riddles. But the new crop
will occupy a larger space in the mind’s
eve of the trade, and it would be
strange. indeed, if the distant months
did not become more and more active,
with wider and wider fluctuations in
consequence,'’
J. M. Anderson is optimistic and isn't
afraid to say so. *This pessimism has
been overdone,” he said. ‘“Underlying
conditions are good. and 1 expect to
see outward signs of their soundness
in the near future. Business is all right
in the Hnut%, and it is good in the
West; indeed. in pretty nearly the whole
country. Wall street gets into the
dumps and hinks the whole country
is as blue as itself and that everything
is going to the dogs. One of these
days Wall street will wake up and find
out how wrong it was. Politics and
Mexico Have been used as bearish fac
tors to a standstill. Meanwhile busi
ness is forging steadily ahead, and if
that is the case prices of stocks and
commaodities can not be kept down for
ever. Better times are coming and the
cotton market is going to benefit by
them.”’ "

GRAIN GOSSIP
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Sfie
cialists in wheat said that the market
would have had a good decline had it
not been for the strength in corn, but
others are looking for a revival in the
export demand and believe that bears
will be disappointed over the breaking
of the dry weather in the Southwest,
“Sentiment on corn was 8o unani
mous!y bullish last night that a num
ber of conservative traders were inclined
to look for a small setback, believing
that the technieal position in the market
was much weakened by vesterday’s ad
vance, but the best posted operators
said they saw nothing weak in the sit
nation and strorgly advised buying in
case of a break.”
