ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1906. ‘MOST OF THOSE WHO PROTESTED had Seen disciplined at home FOR INFRACTION OF THE RULES —DR. AMOS FOX. Petition by Soldiers for Investigation Creates a Big Sensation. NO ACTION TAKEN YET BY THE HOUSE The Georgian Recently Made Private Investiga tion of the Home. -Mott of the men who signed the petition netting an Investigation of the S .Idlers" Home were Inmates who at one time or another had been disci* pllned for drunkenness or some other Infraction of the rules,” said Dr. Amos Fox Saturday morning. Further than that he would say nothing regarding the reading In the fc.aise of representatives Friday of the petition drawn up by Inmates of the t .Idlers" Home, asking for an Investi gation of the management of the'lnttl- tutlon and protesthft against harsh treatment. Insufficient, food and other alleged Ills which has caused consid erable of a sensation £ll over the state. The Soldiers" Home was built by the people of Georgia end wag largely the result of work by Henry W. Grady. It bar alwaya been a cherished Insti tution. and the charges of mismanage ment brought out by some-of the In. mates has aroused a great deal of In terest. The appropriation of $7,500 for a new hospital was paused by the house Fri day, despite the fact that several In mates of the home protested against It as unnecessary. During the discussion of this m. ure In the house. Mr. Hlllkln, Wavne, read the petition from twenty of the Inmates of the home. No In vestigating committee has a* yet been appointed. • THE GEORGIAN HAS MADE INVESTIGATION OF HOME. Several days ago a representative of The Georgian, learning that complaints had beep made -of conditions at the home, paid a visit to that institution and made a number -of Inquiries as to the treatment of the Inmates. Not only was the superintendent Interviewed, hut direct questions were addressed to the voters;,1* echo are In the home, and who should have no object In conceal ing conditions. No definite complaints of present conditions Were made, though almost every men made some reference to hla dissatisfaction under the former superintendent, John A. Thompson. The present superintend ent, Captain Hobert L. Barry, himself a veteran, gave every evidence of hav ing the Interest of the men at heart, though he admitted that he could not provide everything desired from the funds at hla command. "Superintendent Thompson was a former police captain.** said one Inmate of the home. "His training did not fit him to care for Invalid and aged men. such as were in his charge. We were treated very harshly sometimes." It was stated that one man was" dismissed because he cursed Amos Fox. treasurer of the home, although Dr. Fog was not present at the time. This man had subsequently been per mitted to return lo the Institution. Complaints About Formsr Food. Complaints of the quality of food formerly served were made, and It was »".ated that sometimes meat tgaa pur chased which was not In good condi tion. No complaints as to the food served at present were heard. An Inspection of the home showed that the rooms and corridors are kept e rupulously clean. The rooms now "reed for the hospital are bright and runny, but are on the second floor, where it would be difficult to remove the patients should fire break out. They are too small for the accommodation ■f the eight or ten patients usually • nfined to their beds and the sick men <unnot have the privacy desirable. It hvi been urged that tlie hospital can • removed to the library room, but this room appeared to be too small and I’ not located In a desirable position. captain Barry talked freely of the tome and Its conditions. He stated "htrt he had taken charge on August 1 and had not had time thoroughly to familiarise himself with details, but he believed the inmates were fairly satis fied under hla management. He said le was, trying to treat them like gen tlemen, not prisoners, was using per suasion Instead of harshness and had not had a moment’s trouble with any man. “Left to Treasurer Fox." Captain Barry was not certain Just how much money was at hla disposal for the use of the home. These mat ters were left to Treasurer Amos For. “Dr. Fog does all the buying. When ever we want anything we write an rder and be bwye It and sends It out." 'aid Captain Barry. No, he ha* not refused ue anything we asked for, that 1 remember. I think be buys a good vitality of everything. I don't know anything about the accounts. He draws “SHOULD INVESTIGATE," SAYS BUSH IN HOUSE Mr. Bush, of Miller coua y, brought up the Soldiers' Home mailer in the house of representative! Saturday morning. In voting on the Gor don statue measure, he caller! attention to the fact that no attention had been paid by the bouse to the petition presented by the Inmates of the home. "The house has discriminated against those veterans," he said. "Who aay they have been mistreat'd. I don't know Amos Fog. but I don't care what Fox It Is, I think si should listen to the appeal of these old soldiers." BASEBALL 6 Atlanta--100 000 002 0-3 Nashv’lle-030 000 000 0-3 "I AUDIT ACCOUNTS," SAYS WM. S. THOMSON t William 8. Thomson, rUm president of the board of Iruatee* of the Soldiers* Home, stated Bator lay that there waa no ground for the state* ment made in the petition that the treasurer's accounts were not audited. “Every month Dr. Fox brings to me the bills contracted during that month and they are carefully gone over by me, as chairman of the finance committee., and then at the quarterly meeting the committee aa a whole goes ovea them. Aa far aa 1 have been able to judge from an examination of the goods purchased he gets far better values for the money expended than I could as an Individual/* “Do you know anything of the personnel of the men who have signed the petition. Hr. Thomsonr* "No, I am not familiar with asy of the names except that of Clarke. He made a number of complaints some time since, which, on Investiga tion. we found to be groundless. 1 shall be very glad indeed If the leg islature will appoint an Investigating committee. We have Investigated matters out there several times and find everything aa well as possibly could be for the amount of money we have to speqd. Dr. Fox has his heart In the work, and being a veteran, la devoted to the home, and la one of the beat friends that It has.

Although the South has been varia bly prominent In the literature of America for a hundred years, thl* sec tion has been conspicuous by Its ab sence from Hie department of the drama.

Nixon A Zimmerman bellsve It will be. the South will have entered a wedge which will make easier the reception of Its dramatic efforts.
