Working Committee Named.
Bishon Nelson, who was responsi-
Hle for the meeting and who acted as
chairman, appointed a committee
consisting of Dr. W. 8. Elkin, dean
of the Atlanta Medica! College; A. R.
(‘alcord, City Councilman; Mayor
Woodward, Dr. ¥. G. Jones, of ihe
Atlanta Medical College, and R. T.
Foreman, of the Chamber of Com
merce, to look “into the question of
the importance of such a hospital, di
rect publicity, secure exact estimates
of the cost of an adequate institu
tion, prepare for the submission ol
the matter to the Council and to
make definite recommendations at
the next meeting.
Another committee war appointed
to act in conjunction with the com
mittee already appointed by the City
Counefl to confer with Falton Gounty
officials with reference to making it a
jofat ¢ty and countv Institution. On
this committee are Charies 8, North
en, Dr. Floyd W. Mcßae and Dr.
Charles E. Murphy.
Plans for a modern hospital sufli
ciently large for the needs of At
lanta were presented by Dr. Willlam
B. Summerall, superintendent of the
Grady Hospital. His estimale is
$750,000, .
Details of Plan.
It calls for an outdoor clinic build
ing with complete laboratories for
rescarch work, laboratory for the city
hacteriologigt and chemist, a division
for clinies 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 $75,000, a contaglous
digense houpital) costing $H0.000; two
buildings for the ordinary charfty
work, one for white persons and the
other for colored, to cost $250,000;
children's wards, $560,000; boller
room, laundry rooms, Kitchen and
orderly’s quarters, $50,000; a private
pay hospital, $150,000; extra land and
inclosure, $20,000. >
A hospital bullt upon that plan, br.
Summeral! said, would be adequate
for all purposes and a credit to the
ity 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 vears ‘vwuy off the interest and
sinking fund on the bond issue,
&-ndy Called “Fire Trap.”
The recently added private hospital
has given great returns in the short
time it has been in operation, said
Dr. Summerall, which leads him to
helieve the larger institution would
net still larger profits. At the prea
ent time they are unable to care for
more than one case in ten at the pay
hospital.
Dean W, 8. Elkin, of the Atlanta
Medical College, outlined the imme
diate necessity of a new hospital
“The Grady Hospita! is inadequate,
a fire trap, unsanitary and a men
ace to all patients and the general
public,” 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
only two or three of such hurry-up
calls, At present there is no ma
ternity hospital in Atlanta for colored
women. It i a deplorable fact, yet
negro woinen have been picked up on
the gtrect in serious condition, be
cause of their inability to get medi
cal attention anywhere in the city ”
Mayor Promises Help.
“A modern hospital wouls be ope
of the biggest assets 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 & million dollars
10 heold her own? A maunici
pal hospital would benefit all and the
taxpayers should be willing to stand
the small additional expense.”
Mayor Woodward promised his aid
You ought to make provision for a time when vou
may not be as prosperous as you are to-day.
Neither your good luck nor your earning capac
ity can last indefinitely. So by all means

Seventeenth Regiment Leaves
Fort McPherson Praising At

Continued From Page 1.
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
functiion, dancing with the grace that
seems to be the heritage of the army
officer and have captivated the heart
circles,
Atlanta, both from a business and a
social 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.”
Expressions 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
McPherson in preference to any other
army post in the L'nix_ed States.
Expect to Return.
Most of tfiem 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 War Department gave both
ofMcers 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,” said 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 (o
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,
“Kvery man in the regiment, 1
think, is 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 wonderfuily; in fact, the manner
in which Atlanta treats army men
has caused Fort McPherson to become
the favored army post of the country.
“Kvery officer wishes to be attached
to the Seventeenth and TFort Me-
Pherson, and 1 understand that the
War Department is fairly swamped
with requests for transfers from
other parts of the country to Atlanta.
“Hvery -one of the men, from the
highest officer to the latest recruit,
has a big place in hisg heart for At
lanta. 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 where soldiers are shown the
courtesies 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 hlke
us and like to have us in their Aty
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
L. ¥. 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
a 8 a vear will be sent to the Govern
ment prison at Leavenworth, Kans

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NBW ORLEANS, March 18.--Liver
pool shbwed strength with futures 3+to
4 points higher; spots 7 points higher;
sales, 14,000 bales. In tha face of this
continued and active spot demand, the
announcement in the press of poor and
declining trade sounds like a story
almed 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 erushed
from the crop of 1913, compared with
4,680,508 in 1912 and 4,'.\21.0?3 in 1911.
Total linters for crop 629019 bales in
'l9lBlbfigalnn( 602,324 in 1912, and 566,276
n " v 2
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{y as in the 16,600,000-bale crop of
1911-12; linters were 36.000 less than in
last yvear'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
er in the bale was reopened and regin
ned, which increased the ginning fig
ures. This also applies to Oklahoma.
Our market opened about 6 points
higher and ruled quiet. The gailn was
lost on dullness, as traders are waiting
for to-morrow's report. The market is
in good shape technically for the report,
which is expected to show between 14,-
100,000 bales without linters. The final
Census returns lagt vear without lint
ers were 13,480,530 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
Railroad and others for selling, there
was no advance of pressure from any
soyrce. 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

then moved up to 146,
