Grady Head Declares Pay Feature
Would Support Entire New
Institution.
Continued From Page 1,
Details of Plan.
It calls for an outdoor clinic bulid
ing with complete laboratories for
résearch worlly, laboratory for the city
hacteriologist and chemist, a division
for clinics fur both whites and blacks,
emergency operathg room and of
fices for tie County Coroner, which
would cost $100.000; a nurses” dormi
tary, to cosi $75,000; a contagious
disease hospital, costing $50.000; (wo
buildings for the ordinary charity
wark, ona for white persons and the
ather: for coiored, to - cost $250,000;
children's wards, $50,000, boiler
room, laundry rooms, kitchen and
orderly's quarters, $60,000. a private
payv hospital, $150.000; extra land and
inclosure $15,000.
A hospital bullt upon that plan, Dr
Summerall sald, would he adequate
for all purposes and a credit to the
eity 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
40 years puy off the interest and
sinking fund on theg bond issue
, Grady Called “Fire Trap.”
The recently added private hospital
has .gl\'endgrem returns in the short
time it has been in operation, said
1, Summerall, which leads him to
helieve the larger institution would
net still larger prcrfl\n. At the pres
ent time they are unable to care for
maore than one case in ten at the pay
Lospital,
Dean W, 8. Elkin, of the Atlanta
Medical College, outlined the hnme
diate necessity of a new hospital
“The Grady Hospital is inadequate,
a fire trap, unsanitary and a men
ace 1o all patients and the general
public,” he said. “They ean't attend
10 even a small part of thes cases,
There are about itwenty ambulance
calls every day and with the present
Aacilities it Is impossible to answer
only two or three of ‘such hurry-up
calls, At present there is no ma
ternity hospital in Atlanta for colored
women. 1t is a deplorable fact, yet
negro women have heen picked up on
the sireei in serious condition, be
cause of their inability to get medi
cal attention anywhere in the city.”
Mayor Promises Help.
“A modern hospitai would be one
of the biggest assets of the c¢ity and
would do much to advertise Atlanta.
Other cities not much larger are now
erecting hospltals costing as high as
gix million dollars. Why can not At
lanta spend at least a million dollars
10, hold her own? A munici
pal hospital would benerit all and the
taxpayers should be willing to stand
tmq small additiviial expense”
. Mayor Woodward prdnised his aid
in securing the bond issue and said
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 its erection 25 years ago, told
uf “the necessity for new quarters.
Colonel Lowry told of the beginning
of the Grady Hospital. Only $6,000
was donated by the city and the bal
ance was raised by private subscrip
tion, he said.
Question of Bond Issue.
The question of whether the bond
issue should be submitted to the vot
ers together with the numerous other
bonds which come up at the next
election, or separately, was fully dis
cussed. 1t was suggested by Mayor
Woodward and others that the hos
pital bonds be separate, to allow the
voters Lo express their desire more
clearly as to whéther 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,

Lefore returning to 17ort McPherson.
The regimental equipment, includ
ing the hospital supplies, the wagons,
stock, camping equipment And com
missary and quartermaster’'s supplies,
was sent ahead of the regiment in a
special train that left Atlanta on the
Southern Wednesday afterncon at §
o'clock,
The equipment train carried 81 en
listed men and three officers, and was
under the command of Captain . B.
Stone, Jr. These soldiers comprised
the machine gun platoon, the regi
mental detachment, teamsters and
stable men, and the quartermaster's
detachment of 28 me:r. :
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 Eagle Pass. The
third train will go through Montgom
ery to New Orleans and thence over
the same route as the two preced
ing it,
Fort McPherson 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
tailroads to have the necessary (rains
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 megp whe have
been 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
seems Lo be the heritage of the army
officer and have captivated the hear!
cireles.
Atlanta, both from a business and a
cncial standpoint, is sorry to see the
regiment leave, 'The officers 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,”
Ixpressions of regret that they are
to leave Atlanta, possibly never to
return, were freely made by officers
of the «Seventeenth Thursday. Vir
tually every one declared that if given
their choice they would choose Fort
MciPPherson 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 bov
der, basing this belief on the fact
that the War Department gave both
officers and men orders to leave their
wives and personal belongings in
Atlanta.
Major George W. Martin declared
that there is little grounds for the
rumors that the regiment is to be
ordered into foreign service after its
duties on the border 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,” sald Major Martin. “and the
fact that we have been directed to
leave our families here gives us
grounds 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,
“Fvery man in the regiment, 1
think, is sorry to leave Atlanta,” he
sald, “although naturally they are
pleased that they have a chance to
gO, Lo the front. Atlanta has treated
us wonderfully: in fact, the manner
in 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 Seventeenth and Kort Meo-
Pherson, and | understand that the
War Department is fairly swamped
with requesis for transfers from
other parts of the country to Atlanta.
“Kvery one of the men, from the
highest officer to the latest recruit,
has a big place in his heart for At
lahta, We all wish to be returned
here when our duties are finished on
the border. .
Guard of Fifty Left.
“There are few places in the coun
try wherp soldiers are shown the
courtesies the men of this regiment
have recelved .in Atlanta. The hos
pitality of the South is evident at all
times, In other cities, which have
ArmMY posts, army men are sometimes
cunsidered more or less of & nulsane,
but in Atlanta we are all egotistical
enough to believe that the people like
us and like to have us in their city.
And we like to be here”
The four trains carried a total of
836 men and officers, leaving 30 men
#t the post under command of Mujor
L. F. Garard, as a guard. The prison
ers who have a few days to serve
wiil be left in the guardhouse untii
thelr time expires and then probably
will be discharged from the army,
whtle those whose terms are as high
as a year will be sent to the Govern
ment prison at Leavenworth, Kans

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, March 19.—Liver
pool showed strength with futures 5 (o
4 points higher: s%m.fl 7 points higher;
sales, 14,000 bales. In the face of this
continued and active spot demand, the
announcgment in the press of poor and
d\-vlinin’)(rmlv sounds like a story
aimed at the holders of raw material
on our side.
The (‘ensus 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,
Total linters for crop 629019 bales in
14913, against 602,324 in 1912, and 566,276
in 1911,
These figures show how much closer
the delinting of seed is practiced, and.
hence more seed crushed. The amount
of linters iy no guide to the size of the
crop as in the 16,5600.000-bale crop of
1911-12: linters were 36.000 less than in
last vear's cron of 14,000,000,
The following advice from Texas at
tracted attention: It states that some
cotton that was 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 to show between 14,-
100,000 bales without linters. The final
Census returns last vear without lint
ers were 13,189,529 bales.

There Was No Advance Pressure
From Any Source—Coppers
: I
in Good Demand.
By CHARLES W, STORM.,
NEW YORL, March 19.--The' specu
ative element got a surprise at the
opening of the stock market to-day.
Aithough there was plenty of incentive
in the fresh anti-trust suit filed by (he
Government against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad anc others for, selling, there
was no advance of pressure from any
source. The bear rumorg, directed
against 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 145%,
then moved up to 146. 2
Reading, another ‘doaler,”” began at
164 for the loss of 4, and then sold up
to 164%. American Smelting reflected
persistent buying, gaining %. The other
coper Stocks were also m demand.
Amalgamatey Copper commenced g
lower, then recovered and registered a
gain.
Ther was renewed activity in some of
the specialties. Central Leather gained
1, and American Tobacco advanced 4.
Among the other gains were the fol
lowing: Union Pacific %, Mexican Pe
troleum 1, United Siates tSeel common
‘e, American Locomotive 9, Rock Is
land common g, l‘mmsyl\'an?u 4, Cana
dian Pacific 5 and St. Paul 's.
krie lost 15, then recovered. Chesa
peake and Ohio began i lower, then re
covered and made a gain
The curb was steady.
Americans in London lacked vigor and
wWer narrow.
Canadian Pacific in London was
steady on covering. |
The tone strengthened in the last
hour. Gains ranging from fractions to
mowe than 4 points from the opening
were made. The market received stroig
support, United States Sfeel held
around 64, against 84 at noon. Amers
ican Agricultural Chemical was one of
the sirongest of the specialties, goirg to
5814, against 57 at the opening. Ameri
can Tobacco sold at 2543, against 250
at the opening.
The upturns which occurred shortly
after the opening were held all through
the forenoon. American Tobacco was
exceptionally strong, moving up 3% to
253. Amalgamated Copper, Steel com
mon and Southern Pacific advanced ’s.
Lehigh Valley %, Mexican Petroleum 1z
and Chesapeake and Ohio 5%. C(all mon

GRAIN GOSSIP
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: ‘‘Spe
cialists in wheat said that the market
would have had a good deciine 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 v bullish last night that a num
ber of conservative trarfers were inclined
Lo look for a small sotback, believing
that the technical pos'ffn in the market
was much weakened @ vesterday's ad
vance, but the hest posted operators
said they saw nothing weak in the sit
nation and strongly advised buying in
case of a break.”
Wheat was off a shade under reporis
of snow west of the Mississippi River,
private crop estimates of 110,000,000 to
150,000,000 bushels for Kansas and lib
eral Northwest receipts. Mo pressure
developed, however, as cables were
steady and Argentine shipments are ex
pected to be smaller this week.
* b *
Corn advanced on Liverpool cables,
light estimate for Argentine shipments
to-morrow, firm cash situation, small re
ceipts and good buying by commission
houses, .
Bartlett-Frazier Company says:
“Wheat—We look for a narrow mare
ket to-day. .
“Corn--Speculative longs are more
confident than ever ard the selling pres
sure does not increase.
“Oats—We believe prices to be large
ly dependent on action in corn.:
‘' Provisions—The market has a steady
undertone.”’
