MORE ROOM NEEDED,
SAYS CR. GEO. EAVES
January Work of the Anti
Tuberculosis Association
36 CASES HANDLED
Many Turned Away on Account of
Lack of Facilities—Funds Are
Low—Cites Some Typi
cal Cases
to the IMitor of The Age-Herald;
1 have a kind of savage Indignation
In submitting to the. people of Birming
ham the appalling report of our work in
January. Jt supports our earnest con
tention that we must have more room
It also proves that we must have more
sustaining members, more ready money
for current expenditures. All the money
raised during tile past two months has
been set aside to be used only- for neces
sary building and improvement work.
Jut that leaves our maintenace expenses
•ntirely dependent on public funds.
May I ask our friends to enroll as
s sustaining members” and send in $1 pr
more every month? The expenses go on
• <1 the time, but the monthly income
series too much. I have now WOO new
membership cards ready to fill in. The
first to were issued to pupils of the pub
lic schools; Hie other 19*) await appli
cants.
In the sanatorium ‘during January we
handled 36 patients. Tills is the banner
month for winter. It indicates at least
lt<i> begging admission in the spring, (inly
r .lie of these 36 paid anything. Only five
were aide to make full payment. W e ask
a patient for the cost only of his own
treatment. We make no profit on any.
At the bare cost these 36 patients would
mean an outlay for the month or 3800.
Kut that Ones not provide for nurses,
dispensary, ofilce, or incidentals. And 37
of the 36 paid nothing.
r have had to buy new flies for all
tut tents, as a temporary expedient,
|K>C.
The clinic today has added eight more
to th* waiting list. One poor woman was
»ent home to die, ami Incidentally fur
ther to infect her family. Already her
husband has the disease, and lmth of
them, probably also their four children,
might to be in the sanatorium or in a
proper tuberculosis hospital. We had
jto room for then i.
A girl of fourteen years was sent to
tic o». Saturday. We were able to admit
her. Today a girl of 15 applied, with her
lather. He is far advanced. The child
has apparently been infected from him
end Is an incipient case. We have no
room for either. Both ought to be ad
mitted. They go on the waiting list.
A poor Greek applied today. He will
probably die. We have "no room" for
film. Perhaps 1m could lie sayed. He
has a family.
Truly this Is a work of agony and
dire tragedy because we are still so
limited In resources. 1 believe we shall
pet the space for larger work. But
more friends wo must have, giving us
more money. One newly married couple
are sending me $2 every month, which
means two sustaining memberships.
Tills Is a thank offering because 1
helped the young man to find work, One
young law'yer sends us his |1 a month
regularly. But why should not a thous
and people do the same? We have very
lew of these monthly payments.

REFUSES TO APPLY
MISSOURI BLUE LAW
St. Louis, February 4.—The St. Louis
court of appeals today refused to apply
the Missouri “blue law" to save a local
merchant from paying for an advertise
ment in a Sunday newspaper.
The merchant sought exemption from
the debt on the plea that the publication
of a newspaper on Sunday was a violation
of the Sunday law.
The court of appeals ruled that as the
merchant was n, party to the contract for
publication of his advertisement on Sun
day, he could not invoke the Sunday law
to obtain release from payment.
A similar cose before the Kansas City
court of appeals was decided in favor if
tlio ftdvcribw and Ur© subject will be
taken to the state supreme court for de
termination.
came to us in .January or February.
1912. .She was far gone, her father had
five other children. This child had con
tracted the disease in nursing her
mother, who died of tuberculosis. We
liava* cared for her therefore all these
month's, knowing that it was a losing
fight. She asked to be taken home on
the 24th, and died two days later. But
by caring for her all those months we
have probably stamped out the disease
in that family.
Case 172 is a lady who had to leave
her whole family in care of others in
order to stay with us. She was re
garded as a hopeless case by friends,
but is recovering. She has gained 32Vi
pounds.
In case No. 175 we know that death
is approaching. But there are nine oth
er persons in the house from which i
this patient comes. He will die. Others
In the home may be Infected already.
We shall keep In touch with that fam
ily, re-examining as necessary.
Case No. 176 is a child of 12, a girl
whose life is being saved because when
the homeless family arrived here there
was in Birmingham such a sanatorium,
and we determined to prevent that child
continuing to wander and beg in the
streets and roads, as the whole family
had been doing.
Case No. 16b is making a wonderful
recovery. She is a young woman of 19,
astonishing the specialist who lias
charge of her.
Case No. 185 wag in a hopeless state
when he was admitted on December 21
last, a bright and splendid young man.
He had spent all his resources seeking
health in the west. He died in Indiana
about the 15th of January, going there
at the urgent request of his father.
Pity of pities, that when he was first
taken sick there was no sanatorium in
all the south.
Case No. 1S6 has gone home greatly im
proved in health, and with Joy in his
heart, to attend to business.
Number 1S7 has gained IS pounds, and
is still on the upgrade. He is a young
man of 21, and will recover if he is care
ful and patient.
Number 202 is the father of No. 176. and
is apparently recovering. He is a pilgrim
aud a stranger in the earth, a man of
the open hills, but, alas, a clear case
of the great white plague. His disease is
not pulmonary, but there was nowhere
else for him to go, and he was dying.
He may recover.
How much longer must such people
knock at our doors and be told that we
have “no room" for them? The number
of applicants increases. Today, as I said,
brings eight more. And even without
the increased cost of a sanatorium to hold
a hundred cases, we are already rpend
ing more than we are receiving. Our
nursing force Is greatly overworked, and
we are engaging an additional nurse.
We cannot avoid increased expenses with
increased nativities. We are in the fight
to win.
I append the figures for January in the
sanatorium:

EXCHANGE SEATS
DECLINEjN VALUE
Present Market Value
Causes Gloom in Wall
Street
■ ■ ■-.
i New York, February 4.—A decline of
[ more than $50,000,000 in the total market
j value of the seats on the New York stock
exchange is one measure of the depths
of Wall street’s gloom.
The latest sale of a scat was made
for $48,000, which is precisely one-half of
the high recorfi reached In 1909.
On the assumption that $48,000 repre
sents the present marketable value of
a seal, the total shrinkage on paper at
least of the 1100 seats on the stock ex
change is $52,800,000. Last November a
seat was sold for $09,000. On the same
basis the decline in about three months
is $23,100,000. Neither during the panic
of 1907 nor during the “Rich Mans
Panic'’ of 1908 did the price foil so low,
$51,000 having then been the low level at
both of the periods. Dwindling business
Is the explanation of the decline in seat
prices. The intrinstic value of a seat
represents but a small portion of Its
price. The huge gray palace which Is
the home of the stock exchange and the
land on which it stands .are assessed at
$5,300,000, which represents an equity for
each member of less than $5000. There is
also a gratuity of $10,000, which is paid
to the family of a member who dies.
Other than this, the value of a seat con
sists merely in “good will,’’ or the priv
ilege of trading on the exchange and the
facilities offered to dealers. Wall street
has had three “lean years" in the busi
ness of buying and Felling stocks and
bonds. Business last year averaged less
than 450.000 shares of stock a day, where
as In 1905 the average was 900,000 shares
a day.
LUTHER SNOW GIVEN

In the first division of the criminal
court, Judge W. E. Fort presiding, Luther
Snow, negro, was found guilty of mur
der in the first degree and his punish
ment fixed at life in the penitentiary.

der, pleaded guilty to the charge and by

13 years in the penitentiary. The case
of John Epps, white, charged with crimi
nal assault, was tried before Judge S. E.
Greene and went to the jury lato-yes

ORIENTAL CULT
HEAD,ARRESTED
Chicago. February 4.—Ottoman Zar
Adusht flanish, Oriental cult head, was
ordergfl today into custody by federal
officers. He is to be questioned con
cerning reports that he was preparing to
flee to New Orleans in violation of the
$10,000 bond on which lie was given his
liberty shortly after Ills indictment on
charges of using the mails to defraud.
The fedora] officials here received infor
mation that Hanish had dismantled his
palatlally furnished temple on the South
Side with a .dew to transferring the
headquarters of the cult to New Orleans.
Railroad Committee Meets
New York, February 4.—The executive
committee of the Union Pacific Railroad
company had another meeting today, but
it was unproductive of any result re
garding dissolution of that road from
the Southern Pacific. From the fact that
the mandate of the supreme court order
! ing the dissolution has been ordered back
to the lower federal court in Salt Lake
City, it was inferred that something in
| the nature of an understanding now ex
isted between the department of justice
and officials of the 1 landman lines. R. S.
Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific,
is authority for the statement that the
details of the proposed dissolution have
yet to be worked out to a satisfactory
conclusion.
Engaged Rather Young
East St. Louis, 111., February A.—
Miss Clara Carter Mallett and Mallett
Carter, born in the same flat here,
last Thursday, arc* engaged to marry,
the children are each five days old,
and the wedding is scheduled to take
place many years hence. It seemed so
remarkable to the parents of the chil
dren that the stork should visit both
homes within four hours, that they
agreed to bring up tiie children In the
knowledge that they were betrothed.
Daring Daylight Robbery
Jacksonville, Fla., February 4.—A dar
ing broad daylight robbery was com
mitted here today when a thief entered
the home of Mrs. J. C. Raahl, In the
heart of the city, and took diamonds and
jewelry value at $5000. l.ater the man
was arrested when trying to pawn the
gems. He gave his name as Bert Mason
of Tampa.

Served When New York
Commission Met to
Sign Contract
New York, February 4.—Thirty minutes
before the public service commission was
to have met. to sign the operating con
tracts for New York's $200,000,000 subway,
an injunction today was served, prohibit
ing the commission from taking action.
The injunction was obtained by Clarence
J. Shearn, counsel for William Randolph
Hearst. Hearst has been fighting for a
municipal operating plan.
George S. Coleman, attorney for the
public service commission, later applied
to the appellate divisiop of the supreme
court for an order to vacate the injunc
tion. The court, however, refused to
grant the order.
The injunction was obtained on the peti
tion of John J. Hopper, formerly candi
date for governor of New York, on the in
dependence league ticket. It is return
able February 0. By that time the op
ponents of the present plan hope that
the composition of the pbblic service com
mission will be changed and that Supreme
Court Justice McCall will have taken the
place of Chairman Willcox, who, they
believe, favors the contracts in their
present uu-ni.
Under He proposed contracts, the In
terboro Rapid Transit company, the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company and
they agreed to divide the cost of construc
tion with the city and to equip the new
lines in return for the privilege of operat
ing them for -Pi years.
In 19G6 all subway lines are to become
the property of the city. One advantage
of the plan, according to its advocates,
is that it would enable all the city s
subway lines to be operated as one with
a five cent fare and free transfers.
Its opponents argue that the plan fails
to give the city its due share of super
vision or of the protits of subway trans
portation. in return for the investment
of 180,000,000 in the new subways the Jn
terboro is to receive $6,335,000 a year,
representing its annual profits on the
lines now under operation and 6 per cent
to cover interest and sinking fund on
tlie bonds it will have to issue for-Its
share of the new construction and equip
ment If any surplus remains the city
also is to receive interest and sinking
fund on its investment. Any residue is to
be divided equally between the city and
the operating company.
The city was unable to build the sub
ways unaided because its debt lifnit
would have been reached before the nec
essary bonds were issued to finance com
plete construction.

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, February 4.—(7 p. m.l-1The
movement of the barometric areas has
been slight during the day. The interior
of the country is still under the influence
of a higli pressure area having its center
in the northern Rocky mountain section.
Under its influence very cold weather
prevailed throughout the day in the north
western valleys, with an accompaniment
of snow flurries, when the mercury fell
below the zero mark. Temperatures re
mained below zero throughout, the day In
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, “and
the northwestern Canadian border prov
inces east of the Rockies, and unseason
ably cold weather prevailed southward
to the middle and eastern gulf coasts.
In Birmingham the mean temperature
for the day was eight, degrees below the
normal, although the sluggish movement
of the northwestern high saved us what
might otherwise have been one of the
coldest days of the season.
I A low is forming along the Mexican
j border, which has started southerly winds
and rising temperatures over Texas. Wlth
j in a day or two it will be warmer again
in Alabama. However, cool northerly
winds will probably prevail in this state
through Wednesday, continuing the pres
ent spell of moderately cold weather till
that time.
Precipitation continued in the north
eastern states as an accompaniment to the
low barometric area moving out through
the St. Lawrence valley. Most of the
south was free from precipitation during
the past 24 hours. 'It will probably re
main fair In Alabama Wednesday.
