GRADY ROGPITAL
FIRE TRAP, ol
OR. ELKIN
Committee Talking for $750,000
Institution Hears Old One
‘ ’
Classed as ‘Menace.
A committee appointed by Bishop
. K. Nelson to further investigate
ihe necessity for a new municipal
bospital in Atlanta to cost about
$760.000 and to replace the old Grady
Hospital, attacked as a “fire trap
nd o disgrace,” nclively took up the
work: assigned to it Thursday and
wiil report to Bishop Nelson at a
meeting to be called later.
At the conference held Wednescay
afternoon in the directors’ room of
the Lowry Naticnal Bank, and at
whaich were present rommittees from
Council, the Atlanta Medical College,
Chamber of Commerce and the board
of truste>z of Grady Hospital, it was
unanimously decided that there i
dire need of a new medical institution
and resolutione were passed reqguest
ing that committees decide upon
plans of procedure for placing the
rsuestion of a bond issue 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 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 Medical College; A. R.
Coleord, City Councllman; Mayor
Woodward, Dr. E. G. Jones. of the
Atlanta Medical College, and R, 1.
Foreman, of the Chamber of Com
merce, to look into the question of
the importance of such a hospital, di
rect publicity, secure exact estimales
aof the cost of an adequate institu
jion, prepare for the submission of
the matter to the Council and to
make definite recommendations at
tie next meeting,
Another committee was appointed
to act in conjunction with the com
mittee already appointed by the City
Counell to confer with Fulton County
officials with reference to muking it a
ioint ity and countv Institution. On
this committee are Charles 8. North
en, Dr. Floyd W. Mcßae and DPr.
‘harles . Murphy.
Plans for a modern hospital suffi
ciently large for the needs of At
lanta were presented by Dr. William
B. Summerall, superintendent of the
tirady Hospital. His estimate is
$700,000,
Details of Plan.
#t calls for an outdoor clinic build
ing with complete laboratories for
research 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 £100000; a nurses’ dormi
tory, to cost $75,000; a contagious
digsease hospital, costing $50,000; two
buildings for tho, ordinary charity
work, one for \xhlfn persons and the
other for colored, to cost $250,000;
children's wards, $60,000, boiler
room, laundry rooms, kitchen and
orderly's quarterg, $60,000; a private
payv hospital, $160,000; extra land and
inclosure, $25,000,
A hospital bully upon that plan, Dr.
Summerall sald, 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,
Grady 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 pres
ent 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 s inadequate,
a fire trap, unsanitary and a men
ace 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 limpossible 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 strect in serions condition, be
cause of their inability to get medi
cal attention anywhere in the city.”
Mayor Promises Help.
“A modern hospital woulx be one
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 a million dollars
10 hold her own? A munici
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

Question of Bond Issue.
The question of whether the bond
issue should be submitted to the vot

election, or separately, was fully dis

wanted. A two-thirds vote is neces

Seventeenth Regiment Leaves
Fort McPherson Praising At

Soldiers Well Liked Here.
They will be missed in Atlanta
both officers and enlisted men, The
officer have adorned many a social
function, dancing with the grace that
seems to bae the heritage of the army
officer and have captivated the heart
circles,
Atlanta, both from a business and a
gocial standpoint, is sorry to see the
regiment leave The officers have
miade 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 sérvice.”
Expressiong of regret that they are
to leave Atlanta, possibly never to
return, were freely made by officers
of the Seventeenth Thursday. Vir
tuaily 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 monthe’ service on the bor
der, basing this belief on the faci
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,”” said Major Martin, “and the
fact that we have been directed to
leave our famiiies here gives us
grounds for believing that such will
be the case. We have no reason to
believe that we will be ordered into
forehlixn 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
go to the front. Atlanta has treated
us wonderfully; in fact, the manner
in which Atlanta treats army men
has caused Fort McPherson to becom®
the favored army post of the country,
“Kvery officer wishes to be attached
to the Seventeenth and Fort Me-
Pherson, and I understaud 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 big place in his heart for At
lanta. We all wish to be returnea
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, argly 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
8§36 men and officers, leaving 50 men
at the post under command of Major
L. F. Garard, as a guard. The prison
ers who have a few days to serve
will be left in ther guardhouse until
their time expires and then probably
will be discharged from the army,
while those whose terms are as high
as a year will be sent to the Govern
ment prison at Leavenworth, Kans.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLBANS, March 19.-—-Liver
pool showed strength with futures 3 to
{ 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 sdunds 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 crushed
from the crop of 1913, compared with
1,689,608 in 1912 and 4,921,073 in 1911,
Total linters for crop 629,019 bhales in
1913, 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
crop as in the 16,5600,000-bale crop of
unt"-w; linters were 26,000 less than in
last year's crop of 14,000,000,
The following advice from Texas at
tracted attention: It states that some
:L'uilun that was damaged by bad weath
|er in the bale was reopened and regin
i ned, which increased the ginning fig
| ures. This also applies to Oklahoma,
| Our market opened about 5 points
thigher and ruled quiet. The gain was
tlost 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
l(‘onnus returng last year without lint

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 cver ihe breakips
of the dry weather in the Southwest.
“Sentiment on corn was so unani
mous v bullish last night that a num
ber of conservative traders were inclined
to look for a small satback, believing
tiat the technical pos'et n in the market
was much weakened w yesterday’s ad
vance. but the best posted operators
saild they saw nothing weak in the sit
uation and strongly advised buying in
case of a break.”

Corn advanced on Liverpool cables,
