FIRE TRAP, SAYa
O ELKIN
Committee Talking for $750,000
Institution Hears Old One
Classed as ‘Menace.’
A committee appointed bv Bigshop
(. K. Nelson to further investigate
the wmecessity for a new municipal
hospital in Atlanta fo cost about
$750,000 and to replace the old Grady
Hoepital attacked as a “fire trap
and a disgrace” actively took up the
work assigned to it Thursday and
will repor: to Bishop Nelson at a
meeting to he called Inter.
At the conference held Wedneésday
afternoon in the directors’ room of
the Lowry Naticnal Bank, and a!
wiich were present committees from
Council, the Atlanta Medical College,
Chamber of Commerce and the board
of trustess of Grady Hospital, it was
unanimously decided that there is
dire need of a new medical institution
and resolutions were passed request
ing that committees decide upon
plang of . procedure for placing the
question of a bond igsue to cover cost
of the hospital before the people at
the fall election and also to decide
upon the size of the institution de
sired.
Working Committee Named.
Bishop Nelsen, who was responsi
ble for the meeting and who acted as
chairman, appointed a committee
consisting of Dr. W. 8, Elkin, dean
of the Atlanta Medical College; A. R.
Coleord, City Counecilman. Mayor
Woodward, Dr. E. G. Jones. of the
Atlanta Medical College, and R, L.
Foreman, of the Chamber of Comi
merce, to look into the question of
the importance of such a hospital di
rect publicity, secure exact estimates
af the cost of an adequate institu
tion, prepare for the submission ol |
the matter to the Council and to,
muake definite recommendations at
the next nieeting. 1
Another committee was appointed
to act in conjunction with the com
mittee already appointed by the City
Council to confer with Fulton County
officiala with reference to making it a
joiat ¢ity and county institution. On
thig committee are Charles 8. North
en, Dr. Floyd W. Mcßae and Dr.
Charles E. Murphy.
Plans for a modern hospital suffi
clently large for the needs of At
lanta were presented by Dr. William
B. Summerall, superintendent of the
Grady Hospital. His estimate is
$7050,000,
Details of Plan.
At calls for an outdoor clinic build
fng with complete laboratories for
rescarch work, laboratory for the city
bacteriologist and chemist, a division
for clinics for both whites and blacks,
emergency operating room and of
fices for the County Coroner, which
would cost $100.000; a nurses’ dormi
tory, to cost $705,000; a contagious
diseuse hoepital, costing $60,000; two
buildings for the ordinary charity
work, one for white persons and the
other for colored, to cost §250,000:
children's wards, $50,000; Dboller
room, ltundry rooms, kitchen and
orderly’'s qnarters, 350,000, a private
pay hospital, $150,000; extra land and
inclospure. $25,000.
“A hospital buil{ upon that plan, Dr.
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 pay off the interest and
sinking fund on the bond issue.
arady Called “Fire Trap.” :
The récently added private hospital
has given great returns in the shert
time it has been in operation, said
Dr. Summerall, which leads him to
helieve the larger institution would
net still larger profits. At the pres
¢il time they are unable to care for
more than one case in ten at the pay
hospital.
Dean W, S. 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
ate to all patients and the general
public,” he said. “They can't attend
to 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
only two or three of such hurry-up
calls. At present there is no ma
ternity hospital in Atlanta for colored
women. It is a deplorable fact, yet
negro women have been picked up on
the street in serious condition, be
cause of their inability to get medi
cal attention anywhere in the city.”
Mayor Promises Holg.
“A modern hospital would be one
of the biggest ussets of the city and
would do much to advertise Atlanta.
Other cities not much larger are now
erecting hospitals costing as high as
six million dollars. Why can not At
lanta spend at least a million dollars
to hold her own? A municl
pal hospital would benefit all and the
taxpayers should be willing to stand
the small additional expense.”
Mayor Woodward promised his aid

Ing there two years and two months
before returning to Fort McPherson
The regimental equipment, includ
ing the hospital supplies, the wagons,
stock, camping equipruent and com
missary and quartermaster's supplies,
wad sent ahead of the regiment Y a
special train Phat 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. Thege soldiers comprised
the machine gun platoon, the regi
mental detachment, teamsters and
stable men, and the quartermaster's
detachment of 23 mer.
Railroads Caused Delay.
The first and second trains will be
routed over the Southern for New
Orleans, via Blrmingham, and from
New Orleans will be sent over the
Southern Pacific to Eagle Pass. The
third train will go through Montgerm
ery to New Orleans and thente 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
Las 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
furned out en masse to see the soi
diers leave Thursday, and several
hundred people went out from Atlan
ta for a last look at the men who 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 to be the heritage of the army
officer and have captivated the heart
cireles,
Atlanta, both from a business and a
goclal standpoint, is sorry to see the
tegiment 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 «‘-ir
cles, of being the "high-brow regi
ment of the service.” . g
Expressions of regret that they are
to leave Atlanta, possibly never to
return, werce freely made by officers
of the Seventeenth Thursday. Vir
tually every 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 this belief on the fact
that the V‘éur Department gave both
officers and men orders to leave their
wives and personal belengings in
Atlanta. y
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 bellef that even the
Secretary of War has not determined
what disposition wil 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 familles 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,
“Every man in the regiment, 1
think, i 8 sorry to leave Atlanta,” he
said, “although naturally they are
pleased that they have a chance to
g 0 to the front. Atlanta has treated
us wonderfully; in fact, the manner
in which Atlanta treats army men
has caused Fort McPherson to become
the favored army post of the country,
“Every officer wishes to be attached
to the Seventeenth and Fort Mec-
Pherson, and 1 understand that the
War Department is fairly swamped
with requests 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 M& place in his heart for At
lanta. ye 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 where soldlers are shown the
courtesies the men of this regiment
have received in Atlanta. The hos
pitality of the South iz 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 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 50 men
at the post under command of Major
1. F. Garard, 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 be discharged from the army,
while those whose terms are as high
as a vear will by sent to the Govern
ment prison at Leavenworth, Kans.
MACON PLANTS TREES.
MACON, March 19.--More than
1,000 trees and 500 hedge plants have
been set out by the city in the last
six weeks in pursuance of a planting
campaign inaugurated by City Coun
cil. 1t is planned to put shade trees
on every treeless street and fringe all

NEW ORLEANS, March 19.-—Liver
pool showed strength w'th futures 3 to
4 points higher; spots @ 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 =ounds 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
4,585,508 in 1912 and 4,921,073 in 1911,
Total 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 more seed crushed. The amount
of linters is no guide to the size of the
cm{» as in the 16,500,000-bale crop of
1911-12; linters were 36.000 less than in
last year's crop of 14,000,000.
The following advice from Texas at
tracted attention: It states that some
cotton that was damaged by bad weath

Our market opened about 5 points

SMALL CHANGE IN
PRICE OF STOES
By CHARLES W. STORM. |
NEW YORL, March 19.-—The sgpecu
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 ihe
Government against the Lehigh Valley
Rallroad and others for selling, there
was no advance of pressure from any
source, The bear rumors, directed
against United 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,
Reading, .another ‘doaler.”” began at

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: ‘‘Spe
cialists in wheat said that the market
would have had a good decline had it
not heen for the strength in corn, but
others are looking for a revival in the
export demand and believe that bears
wi'l be disappolinted over the breaking
of the dry weather in the Southwest,
“Sentiment on corn was so unani
mous y bullish last nl(fhl that a num
ber of conservative traders were inclined
to look for a small setback, believing
‘pat the technical pos'st n in the market
was much weakened W yesterday's ad
vance, but the best posted operators
2aid they saw nothing weak in the sit
uation 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 shipmerts are ex
pected to be smaller this week.
Corn advanced on Liverpool cables,
light estimate for Argentire shipments
to-morrow,. firm cash situation, small re
ceipts and good buying by commission
houses, 3
Bartlett-Frazier Company says:
“Wheat-—-We look for a narrow mar
ket to-day,
“Corn-—-Speculative longs are mora
confident than ever and the sellirg pres
sure dces not increase. .
“Oats—-\We believe prices to be large=
Iy dependent on acticn in corn.
