Huey Suggests Plan
 For the Erection Of
 $65, 900 Hospital
Would Build Sanitarium for the Treatment of Tubercu losis County's Land at Ketona-City and County Should Appropriate Sufficient
 Sum for Maintenance

Erection of ss5,ooo hospital to be maintained by the city and county for the treatment of tubercular pa tlents is suggested by Thomas E. Huey, member of the county board of revenue, to offset the abandon ment of the Red Mountain sanita- rum.
 Announcement of E. NJ. Tutwiler, Jr., president of the Anti- Tubercu- losis association of Jefferson county. that the sanitarium is to be discon- tinued as soon as the patients can be disposed of, has aroused the city, county and civic organizations to ac- tion. MT. Huey was appointed a com- mittee of one by the board of revenue to work out plans for the care of the ecunty's patients.
 Meeting Called
 He conferred with the city com mission the last of the week and the commissioners favored the idea of erecting a hospital. ". V. M. Rob inson Jr., has called a meeting of the Inter-Club council for 10 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to decide on the action to be taken by civic organiza- tions. pr. J. D. Bowling and the board of health also are cooperating in the movement.
 The Red Mountain sanitarium. While IL QlQ great WorK, could only care for about 35 patients, 1t is stated, while the number of tubercu- lar persons in the county exceeds goo.
 MT. Huey, who for many years has been deeply interested in the fight against the great white plague" when interviewed yesterday made the following statement:
 Huey,s Statement
 Although the abandonment of Red Mountain sanitarium has attracted public attention. 1t Is difficult for people to realize completely what a verv great loss this will mean to the community in general.
 The Red Mountain sanitarium has. however, been existing from hand to mouth for number of years rendering much humane service and doing much good in disseminating usetul knowledge, but at all times it has been compelled to exist on the voluntary contributions of the people through the sale of Red Cross seals, etc.
 The constant uncertainty of main- te1ance funds has been the discour- aginR factor that has finally in- duced those who have fostered this enterprise to direct their resources into other lines of health work.
 There Is plan which seems to be easy to bring to fruition. That is,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-18

instead of making annual donations to the work of the eradication and treatment of tuberculosis, let the people of this community concentrate their efforts right now in raising s65.000 in cash. With this amount a permanent and modern tiled stucco sanitarium containing 100 beds can be erected.
 Permanent Maintenance
 ''If this plant can be erected by the people of this city and county. through voluntary donations, clearly then 1t would be the duty of the board of revenue and the board of city commissioners to Jointly appro- priate [. sum sufficient for the per marent maintenance of such an in stitution. An annual appropriation of S20.0o0 per year from each board Cor total annual appropriation of S40,000) will maintain 100 patients
 Both of the present boards. think. are sympathetically responsive to this work, and 1t is probable that they would maintain such an insti- tuition.
 The county owns land near Ke- tona that Is peculiarly adapted to the this character. At the highest point of this tract is a wide plateau sit mated at an altitude of perhaps 15o feet above the city, on which there is splendid water. This Is located approximately eight miles north of Birmingham and one mile west from the Mt. Pinson paved highway. Here Is to be had at little expense milk, eggs, butter and vegetables and all the essentials for care and treatment of the disease.
 Such an arrangement would, in a very large measure, be a constructive advance from former methods of pro- viding for people who suffer from tuberculosis in this city and county. Not only does the community owe this as humane obligation to those less fortunate members of society, but as an economic consideration and as means of protection to the pub lie health this plan should be con- summated.
 There will be no difficulty in my opinion in raising s65,o00 for the construction of a permanent building, provided maintenance of same by public money is guaranteed by the authorities. There are many public spirited men of wealth who will un- derwrite the proposition. An annual appropriation of S40.000 will be eight times as much as has been heretofore l-been made. but there are numerous easons which make it justifiable."

Public At Loggerheads
 Ouer Auditorium Location
Many Arguments for and Against Proffer of Smith Heirs for Site But Knights of Grip Take No Formal
 Action on Subject Which Is Gaining Interest

With a motion before the assembly urging the city commission to turn down the offer of the Smith heirs of a site for 8 city auditorium and another faction equally as strong in opposition to the resolution, the sec- ond special invitation luncheon of the Travellers Protective association at the Hillman adjourned yesterday after a stormy session of speech making.
 Hardly had the resolution been introduced by Sam c. Bowman, local attorney and member of the T. P. A. than several seconds to the resolu- tion were uttered in unison and dis approval was voiced at the same time by others. A resolution to adjourn without a vote being taken was passed by a substantial majority.
 The first speaker of the luncheon was John A. Adams. local manufactur- CT, who, in opening the meeting pointed out the many advantages of Smith park, the central location to the population being his chief topic.
 "The auditorium should be built for the toilers, the upbuilders of Bir- mingham, just as much as for any other section of the city, and to cen- trally locate 1t for the masses, Smith park is an ideal spot" said Mir. Adams.
 Hill Ferguson. local realtor. spoke against the selection of Smith park, following the address of MT. Adams. MT. Ferguson said thar the paving around the Smith park site would cost the city s50.0o0 alone with many other added expenses.
 "An auditorium at Smith park would be unfit for opera, conventions and all social gatherings" said Mir Ferguson, the distance to the park being too great for crowds to go."
 J. A. Rountree took the Smith park side, saying that conventions could and would come to Birmingham if the auditorium was located at Smith park. Birmingham Is too big to

Solicitor Tate Declares
 Construction Placed
 OnRemarks, Far Fetched
In Written Statement County Solicitor Denies That He Advocated Mob Violence in Any Form-States That He Has Been Misquoted By News
 papers-Stands to Uphold Law

Declaring that he did not advocate mob violence or masked committees when he advised citizens of rural communities to organize to prevent immoral conduct on the part of auto- mobile parties in sight of their homes, Solicitor Joseph R. Tate issued the following statement yesterday:
 My attention has been called to some of the Items and comment in the papers in regard to what l had to say concerning the immoral conduct near homes of people in the rural parts of the county, and the news paper constructions placed thereon, contending that 1 had advocated vio- lence and had advocated rough treat ment of people guilty of such im- moral conduct In the first place, what I did say was not anything like that published. In the second place, public road love making in auto mobiles, speening in automobiles, masked bands, and masked commit tee were not mentioned. and no violence advocated. encouraged, nor intended to be encouraged.
 The facts are that the people liv ing in the rural communities had been complaining about people driving automobiles up near their houses and there carrying on immoral and in- decent conduct, right in sight and almost in the presence of the oc- cupants thereof; and, because I ad- Vised committees to cooperate and endeavor to break this up, the news papers have seen fit to say that have been advocating mob violence" when, in fact. the people complaining have been threatening, for many months, to use their shotguns on these people guilty of immoral and indecent conduct; and, because I said If they do not stop 1t, they may en- counter rough treatment. l have ad- vocated that they do not use their shotguns, and I further advocate that the people guilty of this im- moral and indecent conduct do not carry on this kind of conduct in sight of the houses of the people,

cent way to operate a system so large and which has been and now Is practiced by the great corporations and other business interests, and our desire being to conduct the affairs of the board on business basis without fear or favor, we have adopted, and believe it to be to the interests of the county to maintain this procedure In spending public funds. keeping in mind always progress, and being ever willing and anxious to procure better and cheaper equipment for these buildings, we would therefore appre- ciate co-operation and information along these lines.
 "As to the suggestions of the grand Jury. we beg to advise that we have been doing. and will continue to do. the very things they suggest, except as to such standards as we have and feel are to the best interests of the citizens, and we would hesitate to de- part from this method. unless we be shown that practically all large busi- ness interests have erred in adopting such methods to secure the greatest efficiency and economy.
 Resolved, Tn t the county board of education adopt the above report of special committee appointed for the purpose of studying the report of the grand jury.

WEIGH URGES CITY TOEXTEND WORK
 OF MILK CONTROL
Says Huey's Plan For Hospital For Victims Suffering From White Plague Most
 Comprehensive

Immediate extention of the milk control system now under way in Birmingham and the provision of a tuhercular hospital for the county, were the urgent recommendations of Dr. s. W. welch. state health of ficer, during his stay in Birming- ham.
 When interviewed pr. Welch stated that the value of the milk control system in providing pure, unadulter- ated milk could not be overestimated and that it contributed more than any other factor in the decrease of Illness among infants. He indorsed heartily the plan of pr. J. D. Dowl- ing for an extension hope that the system and expressed hope that the city commission wluld make it pos sible with the small appropriation asked to bring the production and sale of milk to the highest degree of sanitation and cleanliness.
 Dr. Weleh also indorsed the plan of Tom Huey, board of revenue mem Der, to erect tuberculosis sanitari- um for the treatment of the white plague and said that public benevo- fence should not be taxed with the care of the sick when proper govern mental agencies could handle the situation.
 preventive measures are para mount to tubercuesis work" said Dr. Welch, "and if the nursing force of Jefferson county was doubled 1t would triple the efficiency of the de- partment in keeping the spread of the loathsome disease at maxi num-"

"The construction placed upon what was said is unreasonable and far-fetched. The idea that they should conclude that I advocate violence Is ridiculous. It is the newspapers that have changed the scene from near peoples houses to public roads, have changed immoral and indecent con duct to love-making in automohiles' and spooning in automobiles They put the mask on the committees and have heralded to the world that the solicitor of this county stands for yio- fence, who has spent his life's work
 in trying to uphold the law, while they have done all they could to dis credit and to bring him into disrepute and to destroy his usefulness as an officer and as citizen. They mis- quote and misrepresent me. writing as they please, They have the ad- vantage. It Is their paper. but I want to call their attention to their own willful and deliberate advocacy of violence, as printed by the Tribune 6Tampa) and as copied by The Age Herald:
 " If we had any voice to reach to Alabama we would urge these auto ists who might be interfered with by these vigilance committees, so-called, to take a good gun along, and on the first appearance of masked or hooded face, to shoot straight first and then investigated
 No one has masked anyone in this connection except the newspapers, nor has hooded any face except this for eign Tampa Tribune, which l presume Is well informed being as close as Tampa. Fla, to the rural territories near Birmingham, and has right to speak and has right to advocate that these people violate the laws by carrying guns and by shooting people. But this is only q fair illustration of the attitude frequently assumed by newspaper, when 1t Is a public of ficer or a matter of enforcing laws, and of upholding those whose duty it is to try to enforce them"
