TODAY, NOVEMBER b. Charges Hospitals Being Operated to the Advantage o! Certain Physicians to the Disadvantage ot Others After Two Years of Service As Chairman of Hospital Com mittee Councilman, Mr. T. W. Pilcher Makes Startling Charges. Wants Money to be Handled Differently. SAYS THE HOSPITALS’ AFFAIRS BEING RUN WITHOUT ECONOMY AND WITHOUT SYSTEM Mr. Pilcher Said Dr. W. D. Jennings, Police Surgeon Paid By the City, Not Allowed to Practice in City Hospital. Dr. Jennings Confirms Statements and Makes Sensation al Charges Himself. In a resolution introduced in coun- | cil Monday night for the city coun cil of Augusta to take charge of the finances of the city hospitals, instead of handing over to these hospitals a lump sum of money each year to be expended solely at the discretion of those in charge, Chairman Thos. W. Pilcher, of the hospital committee of council, makes some grave charges against those who control these in stitutions. For instance, Mr. Pilcher says that the physicians in charge are lacking in system and in business ability, and in consequence there has been extravagance in expenditures. Mr. Pilcher also says that the rules and regulations governing the hos pitals are such as to prove of advan tage to certain physicians, some of whom pay' absolutely no taxes into the treasury of the city, and to the disadvantage of other physicians, some of whom pay large taxes. The councilman from the Third, who has been chairman of the special hospital committee for two years, gave it as his opinion that there should be a change. He said that the city paid a lump sum of $20,000 annually to the faculty of the Medical Department of the University of Georgia and $25,000 for conducting the hospitals and that $500,000 had been expended in build ing the New University Hospitals. With such an enormous expenditure of mosiey, Mr. Pilcher said, that coun cil should have something to say about how it was expended and his resolu tion is to the effect that all monies taken in by the hospitals should be paid into the city treasury and that all monies paid out should be on vouchers from the collector’s and treasurer’s office, as all other expen ditures are made. Practices Denounced. Mr. Pilcher denounced in unmistak able terms the alleged practices at the hospitals, and said: ’’Why the city of Augusta has a police surgeon employ ed by the Civil Service Commission to look after the members of the fire and police departments and all accident cases connected with these two de partments and he isn’t even allowed to practice in the city hospitals.” Mr. Pilcher fairly shouted as he asked, “Do you mean to say that this sort of thing is right?” "Why they bar him from practicing in the hospitals 1 do not know, but It is a fact that they do and I think it is an outrage.” Before Mr. Pilcher’s resolution was voted on Mr. (’. Henry Cohen, city at torney, was asked for an opinion as to the rights of the hospital authorities and medical faculty in the agreement with the city entered into when the orphan asylum site was secured. Mr. Cohen said that he was familiar with the agreement at the time but that it had been a long while since he had read it and he could not say anything positive as to its provisions with re ference to the money that the city is to pay. Mayor Hayne stated, at this stage of the proceedings, that about the time the city entered into this contract council was so enthused over the idea of rehabilitating the medical college and building the new hospitals that It was liable to have entered into an agreement for almost anything the doctors wanted. Mr. Pilcher said that he did not think a contract which would allow the city no voice In how the city's money was being expended would be legal and binding. The matter was finally referred to the city attorney for investigation and will be taken up at the next meeting of council. Dr. Jennings’ Statement. Dr. W. D. Jennings, police surgeon, was communicated with by The Her ald Tuesday morning ar,d asked about the statement of Mr. Pilcher that he was not allowed to practice in either of the city hospitals. "That is true,” said Dr. Jennings, Says Blind Tigers Prowl About City on Sunday in Guise Grocery Merchants Councilman T. W. Pilcher Makes Rather Sensational Charges. However, His Ordinance to Close Up Soft Drink Establish- ments, Etc., on Sunday Wa3 Killed. Councilman Pilcher, of the third ward, Introduced an ordinance In city council Monday night providing for stores of all kinds In Augusta, with the exception of drug stores, to remain closed on Sunday and that the drug ■tores not be allowed to sell anything except drugs on prescriptions made out by accredited physicians. Mr Pilcher made an Impassioned speech In favor of his ordinance. He stated that on Sunday night, coming 1n the city tliroug Ninth street, he counted a large number of stores open. He ■tated that in these stores many times there lurked blind tigers. The council man from the third stated that mail of these grocery and fruit stores whlcn held soft drink licenses merely as a pretext for opening on Sunday, had runners who would go out with half pints of whiskey, sell them and then bring back flie money, receiving the'.' commissions on the sale. Mr. Pilcher said that It waa not right to dUcrimi nnte, that If one gtore keeper had n right to >pen on Sunday then all of them had. He wm In favor of closing everything except reataurantg and drug atores. that the people who wanted their "dope’’ on Sunday should buy a case and carry It home, that /those who wanted to smoke should f buv their tobacco on Saturday night. Mr. Pilcher said that the blind tiger* which are conducted by the grocers •tores and fruit atands on Sunday lo In Injustice to the licensed near beer *»IOon keepers who pay 11,000 per fear to the city annually He said these men close promptly on Saturday night at 12 o'clock and respect the Sunday closing law' and yet when a drunken man Is ween on Sunday In ♦he neighborhood *' of these sa “but why I am barred I cannot say. I only know that i am barred. Re cently I sent a patient from police barracks to Lamar Hospital with a wound in the lungs, a very dangerous one, and the patient was returned to the barracks because I happened to be the doctor. Of course, 1 do not think I am being treated right. “There are a great many other things that could be told about the way that hospital is being run that would make Interesting reading.” The statements of Mr. Pilcher, the chairman of the hospital committee, and of Dr. Jennings will no doubt pro duce a sensation. Here is the Pilcher resolution: The Resolution. Whereas, The City Council of Au gusta has expended and contemplates expending in the erection and equip ment of the University Hospitals a sum In round numbers amounting to $500,000; and Whereas, It has entered into con tracts with the Medical Faculty of the University of Georgia aggregating $20,000 annually, which capitalized on a basis of 5 per cent will amount to $400,000; and Whereas, It has entered into a con tract to appropriate sums sufficient to maintain said hospitals which, under the present basis of maintaining hos pitals in the City of Augusta amounts to $25,000 annually, which capitalized on a basis of 5 per cent will amount to $500,000, making an aggregate in terest which the City of Augusta has in said hospitals and medical college a million and a half dollars; and Whereas, Under the system hereto fore observed the City Council of Au gusta has no control whatever over the expenditure of money appropriat ed for the purpose of maintaining said hospital; and Whereas, Past experience has dem onstrated that the physicians in charge of said hospital are lacking in business ability and system, and in consequence there has been a lack of economy in the expenditure of appro priations for that purpose; and Whereas, The rules and regulations governing the running of said hos pital are such as to prove of advan tage to certain physicians, some of whom pay absolutely no taxes into the treasury of the city of Augusta, and to the disadvantage of other physi cians, some of whom pay large taxes; and Whereas, The City Council of Au gusta has no legal right without the consent of the state legislature to del egate the expenditure of money to other than its authorized officers and employes; Paid Out of City Treasury. Therefore Be It Resolved, That In future the maintenance of said hos pital shall be under officers and em ployes selected by the City Council of Augusta paid out of the treasury of the City Council of Augusta, and that all expenditures shall he made on vouchers paid by the collector and treasurer as all other expenditures are made, and all purchases of sup plies shall be either by contract or re quisition, issuing from office of mayor of the city of Augusta as all other ex penditures are; that all Income de rived from pay patients or otherwise incident to the running of said hos pital shall be turned over to the col lector and treasurer of the City of Augusta as are other funds of the City of Augusta; and All rules and regulations governing said hospital shall be approved by the City Council of Augusta, and It shall be the duty of the hospital committee of the City Council of Augusta and the officers in charge of said hospital to see that said rules and regulations are properly enforced; Resolved Further, That nothing herein contained shall he construed as Interfering with the medical and sur gical control of said hospital. loons suspicion is Immediately directed to the saloon keeper and chances are some Innocent looking grocery store i'l causing the drunkenness. Some members of council took issue with Mr. Pilcher on the question of the blind tigers In the city on Sunday and, answering a question from Councilman Allen, Mr. Pilcher askel him If he knew what the police records showed with regard to blind tiger arrests on Sunday since the first of January.. Mr. Allen said that he did no. know and Mr. Pilcher retorted that he ought to visit police barracks and find out, Intimating that there were a considerable number of gro cery stores that sold whiskey on Sun day ami had been apprehended. While Mr. Pilcher's ordinance wal killed by an overwhelming vote and a resolution introduced by him a few moments after to allow every store of every sort in the city to keep wide open all the time had also been killed, still It was the sense of council that the present laws with regard to clos ing on Sunday be enforced by the Civil Service Commission and a resolution offered by Mr. Julian M. Smith, of the fifth ward, to this effect was unanimously carried. The ordinance permits soft drink stands, drug stores, cigar stores, fruit stands, news stands, etc., to keep open on Sunday. Those stores that have no right to keep open will be closed. $25.04 up suits to order, the finest woolens and style, In cut and make up the best. F. G. Mertins. ROUTINE MATTERS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL Large Amount of Business Transacted by City Fathers. The Bridge Over the Canal at D Antignac and Ninth Street. A large number of routine matters were considered by city council at its regular monthly meeting Monday The petition of J. C. Schmidt, ask ing that he be given employment on account of his long service In the po lice department, was read, and was received with considerable interest by members of council. Mr. Schmidt de clared that for a continuous period of twenty-two years and four months he was in the employ of the police de partment, and that when within two years and eight months of the time when he would have been retired on half-pay, he was striken with a pro longed attack of rheumatism, being forced to retire from the service. He stated that he is now in need of/eni pioyment and asked the city to give him work. On the motion of Mr. Pilcher, seconded by Mr. Moore, the petition was referred to the mayor withpporerw r er to act. The petition of P. F. Cosgrove, agent for the Gulf Refining Company, ask ing permission lo deliver gasoline to the Augusta Garage on Sundays when occasion arose for such, was declined. Mr. Cosgrove's reason for asking the privilege was that the garage's storing facilities w r ere sometimes not sufficient 11 > carry them through Sunday. Mayor Hayne stated that he was not in favor of encouraging unnecessary Sunday traffic, ami a motion to decline the pe tition followed. The petition of the Augusta-Savan nah Navigation Company, asking for improvements in the city wharf that would put the facilities in workable order by the time the operation of the new barges is begun, about December Ist, was referred to the committe on bridges and wharves. $5,000 Wanted.

The crying need of a bridge at this point, both for safety and for the sake of appearance and convenience was ad mitted by every member of council, but the consensus of opinion seemed to tie that inasmuch as it has remained in its present condition so long a time, U wBl not he impracticable to perm a few more months of it, at least until such times as the city shall have more funds at its disposal-all Improve ments that are not imperative being "Tor the question at this time. No action was taken on the measure. Take Up Car Tracks. The motion of Mr. Pilcher that he Street Railway Company be Instructed remove their rails and cross-ties from the abandoned Kolloek street clr line, between Telfair and Broad streets in order that this thorough toe might he improved, was unanl- m Mr RI Boyce e offered a motion, prodd ing that citv council permit moving picture houses to give shows on Sun davs from 1 until 6 and from 8.30 un tit u o’clock p. m„ hut was advised that an ordinance would be requ.red to grant mich privilege.

Academy Stacks Up Against Hefty College Lads Saturday —Locals Seeking Revenge. Richmond Academy stacks up against the hefty Georgia Military College aggregation Saturday, seek ing to revenge for the 25-0 defeat ad ministered to them in the early part of the season. G. M. C. will find the local team an entirely different propo sition from that they attempted to solve several weeks ago. There is no doubt but that the A. R. C. eleven has developed wonderfully and it Is hardly likely that the Mllledgevlllc crew has developed in like proportion. The great game the locals put up Saturday when the Savannah high team was downed, 19-11, has won for them hundreds of "boosters.” Every man who saw the game Is enthusiastic In his praise of the smooth-running machine the coaches have built up. Just now there is more football spirit In Augusta than at any time within the past several years. This Interest means great (hings lor the future Academy athletics. SEVERAL VACANCIES hi on m’ class Y. M. C. A. Hopes to Build up Attendance in Class on Tues day and Thursday Evenings. Other Glasses Prospering. There are several vacancies in the gymnasium class of the local Y. M. C. A. that meets on Tuesday and Thurs day evenings at 8:30 o’clock. The physical director, Mr. William Boy land, would be glad for young men who are not attending the gymnasium classes at present to make application to him for entrance Into this class It Is the desire of the aesoclatlon tc build the attendance of this class up to the standard maintained In the other classes. The membership of the Y. M. C. A taking exercises in the gymnasium 1* divided Into - number of classes. The class known as the "6:15 clans” Is a popular one and the attendance Is good. The work In It is of more an elementary nature. In the 8:30 class, meeting Tuesday and Thursday evenings, a good deal of apparatus work Is done and the In structions are more advanced. Games are played as well, and there la no reason why this class shouldn’t draw an attendance as large, if not larger than any of the others. Y. M. 0. A.

Lamback Will Win Easily Over Mr. Walker. Tuesday is the day for the county, stale and national election. Through out the United States congressmen, senators and many other officers are being chosen. In Georgia 12 con gressmen ate being chosen, two Unit ed States senators, all of the state house officers, members of the gen eral assembly, county officers, etc. in Richmond county the only con test is for county treasurer. Capt. Geo. F. Lamback Is winning easily, appar ently over Mr, B. F. Walker. The polls will not close until six o’clock but tlte election of Capt. Lamback can be forecasted with accuracy. There is no opposition for the other county officers and would not have been for treasurer had not Mr. Wal ter E. Clark, the nominee, died. There seems to ht- no Interest In the constitutional amendments. The great majority of the voters are disregard ing them altogether in spite of the fu> t that the greater portion of them are important. For instance, it Is very important as to whether the county officers shall serve four years or two and also whether or not the county treasurer's office shall he abolished. The so called Progressive ticket, headed by Messrs. McClure and Hutchens, la polling hut a few votes in Augusta. A very light vote is being polled in the city and county. RESTRICTS TEACHERS AS WELL AS PUPILS City Law Says All Employees of Schools Must Show Satis factory Scar of Vaccination.

HEW CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FORMED Messrs. L. E. Palmer and W. T. Spivey Form the Palmer- Spivcy Construction Company With Offices in Augusta. Announcement Is made of the for mation of the Palmer-Splvey Con struction Company, a corporation of which Mr. L. K. l’almer and Mr. W. T. Spivey are the executive heads. The offices are In the Chronicle Building. They will do a general contracting business for which they are splendidly equipped because of the great amount of experience which both Mr. Palmer and Mr. Spivey have had. Mr. Palmer has been a contractor in Augusta for a great many years. Among the buildings he has erected are the modern high school building* at North Augusta and Aiken, 8. C., remodeling the Clearwater Bleaehery, erecting the building of the National Hank of Wilkes, at Washington, Oa ; and residences In Augusta for Messrs W. It. White, Geo. H. Lombard, Edw Sheehan, Jas. Farr, K. B. Clark and Mrs. Wm. Butt and Mr*. Clara Butt. Mr. Palmer has also erected a num ber of business buildings in Augusta and vicinity. Mr, W T. Hplvey Is a graduate of Georgia Tech and Cornell University, lie has had thorough training In de signing and construction work with the American Bridge Company, the New York Central Railroad Company and as superintendent on a number of buildings of steel, reinforced eon ctete and Umber In the North, P.ast end South. For the past year Mr. Spivey ha* been superintendent for Architects Preacher and Stoddart on the Empire and Chronicle Buildings.

ACADEMY TRAINING HARD FOR GAME WITH GEORGIA MILITARY COLLEGE Every Man on Local Team Determined to Win This Game, Which Will be Pulled Off Saturday, if Such is Possible—. Defeating This Team Would Mean the Evening up of Old Scores. Development of Cadet Machine is Remarkable, Says Coach Hutton of Savannah High. Head Coach Wilson and Assistants Learned and Danforth are straining every effort to get the Academy eleven In the best shape of the season for the tussle with the strong Georgia Mili tary College crow- next Saturday. Every man on the Academy squad is determined to win this game if It is within the bounds of human endeavor. It will be recalled that the previous game between these two aggregations was played under conditions adverse to the locals at almost every turn. Handicapped as they were, they held the 160-pound collegians to four touch downs two of these being on the most flagrant of flukes. Evening Up. Defeating this team would mean the evening up of every old score, except ing the Riverside game, and It Is plain ly apparent that the Gainesville hunch is entirely out of the class to which the local prep team belongs. In 1912 the Academy team lost only one game —this to Athens High. The Athens High eleven was defeated the same year in the return game and, last year, tvns defeated twice. In 1913, only two teams bested the locals Savannah High and Tenth district aggies. Those stains have been blotted out this year by 19-6 and 24-9 victories. So far this season, excepting Riverside, G M ('. alone has gotten away with the big end of the score. Hence the earn est desire to smear this crew all over the Warren Park gridiron Saturday Lessons from Savannah Game.

To remedy this, the athletic authorities have purchased a tnckling dummy and the players are getting the best kind of tackling prac tice now. The Improvement along this line will be most marked by the time of the G. M. C. game. The great lesson learned from the Savannah and Riverside games Is that the forward pass game Is the one at which the local eleven Is strongest. No team yet played against has been able to arrange Its defense to meet suc cessfully this style of attack employed by the locals. Every football otitic who has witnessed the forward pass formations say they are the best he has ever seen and that, by means of these passes, the Academy could most probably score on any of the minor Southern College elevens. Praise by Coach Hutton, Coach Mutton, of Savannah High, himself one of the best players evep turned out by Georgia Tech. Is un stinted In his praise of the local team. Hutton sava: “Mv team Is fully 25 per cent stronger than last year when we defeated you 20.7. The develop ment of the Academy team Is simply marvelous.
