RAILROAD WARDS
Hospital Matter Involves
Several Questions of
Poliev.
The abolition of the pay wards of
the Grady lloaplta) and the erection of
a railroad hospital are given an the
causes of (he latent movement against
the Grady Hospital un«J its manage
ment.
The two members of council tvho arc
in the lead of this fight are Council-
men Pearce and Longino, both of whom
are phynlclann, the latter twlng chair
man of the council committee on hos
pital and charities, and ex-officio mem
ber of the board of trustee* of the Gra
dy Hospital.
The fight of Dr. Pearce In against
the existence of the board of trustees
and not on Us personnel. Hln ntand is
thut since the board has expressed It
self um being opposed to the abolition
of pay wards, the only way council
can accomplish thin Is to abolish the
board.
Dr. Longino. on the other hand,
while In favor of abolishing pay wards
at the hospital. In opposed to the man
agement of the hospital. He naya that
there are rules against allowing young
and Inexperienced physicians and sur
geons performing delicate operations
at the hospital, hut that, from what In
formation he has gathered, this rule
Is flagrantly violated.
Alderman Joseph Hlrsch, who Is
president of the board of trustees, says
thut there Is hardly a big hospital of
any kind, charitable or otherwise, that
has not pay wards; that If these are
abolished those who now pay
country, charitable and otherwise, bus
pay wards. It Is light we should have
them. A young clerk, away from his
family, can not afford to pay $3<» and
$4U a week for treatment at a private
sanitarium, and we take him In for a
nominal sum.
"We collect now $7.5« a week for all
railroad patients. If we abolish the
pay ward we will have them Just the
same, only we will collect nothing.
Last year we turned $7,000 into the
city treasury C4>ll«vted fruiu pay pa
tients.
"We are now negotiating with *the
railroads, looking to the erection by
them of a railroad ward, at their **wn
expense. They will continue to pay
for thq patients, who will be treated
In their own wards. When beds are
empty In the railroad wards we will
put other patients in them.*’
Despite the protest of t'ouncllmun
Longino at the meeting of the board
of trustees, the medical staff and the
officers of the board were re-elected.
The Medical Staff.
The medical staff Is composed of the;
following members; Dr. Dunbur Roy,
Dr. \V. A. f’rowe. Dr. James B. Baird,

Prior to the election of the medical
staff the officers of the board of (run

hospital medical board, when seen
Wednesday morning nnd asked for a
statement, suid:
'I don’t know what members of the

myself that 1 have always performed j

the necessity of calling the attention

and she will tell Incidentally what ihe
knows of Mrs. W. W. Donaghy,’ who
was told about by The Georgian and
the Associated Charities on Tuesday.
Mrs. Donaghy came to Mrs. McLen
don some time ago with a proposition
to help this union, hut Mrs. McLendon
made u few inquiries as to Mrs. Don

to enter no arrangement.
At Ihe next mee.ing of the Willard

There are two plans which Mrs.
Donaghy Is reported to work. One Is
to give an entertainment for the benefit
of some Institution and to guarantee so
much money snd assume the resimnsl-
blllty of selling the tickets und furnish

her own tickets printed, which gener

In the collection business It Is be
lleved she hands over about 40 per cent
for the local charity and retains as her
share about 60 per rent. These are tho
amounts given us the opinion of an en

Donaghy
It has since been learned that neither
Donaghy nor Ids wife will give out
their address and they are hard to com

At one tlm»* Donaghy accumulated con
