Thursday morning declined to'discuss the complaint made to Chief Jennings by Paul McKinney, of 11 Park avenue, a street railway motonnan. that the matron misrepresented facts to him concerning the Home of the Good Shep herd In Cincinnati and overcharged him for expense money In sending his seven-year-old niece to the home last August. When asked by a Georgian reporter if she desired to make a statement, Ml88 Sanderson replied: “I have nothing whatever to say >n this matter.” Asked If she intended to submit a report to the chief, giving her side of the controversy, the matron answered: “I have no report of any kind to make." Chairman Terry, of the police com mission. was seen and asked his opin ion concerning the complaint. He re plied: "I know nothing of It.” The chairman was asked If he had not been informed of the complaint or hed not learned of it through the news papers. To this query he replied: “Don’t Read Papers." “No one has told me anything about It and 1 don't read the newspapers.” He was further questioned as to whether the police commission would take cognisance of the complaint, and replied: ”! don’t know.” After his conference with <1def Jen nings Wednesday morning. Motornmn McKinney expressed his intention of consulting a lawyer with a view to fil ing formal charges against Miss San derson, but as yet this has 'not been done. McKinney asserts that Mis# Hander- son Informed him ho would have to pay $15 as expenses .for Ills niece to Cincinnati, and that he afterwards learned the child’s railroad fare cost but $4.90, the matron purchasing a charity ticket. He says he thinks the difference In the amount should be re turned to him. McKinney also declar *s the matron Informed him he would be allowed to bear from the child at least once a month, while In reality he has heard nothing from It and can get no answer to his Inquiries. McKinney Informed the chief be had I forwarded railroad fure to Cincinnati to have the child returned to him. but that he had heard .absolutely nothing from the Institution. The complaint of McKinney Is Inter esting from the fact that of Inte much unfavorable comment 1ms been aroused regarding the prevailing custom In the police department of sending girls and children to the Cincinnati, institution.

He might not make a big noise about what be Js going to do, but judging from present indications, several needy families who would not care to have the world know of their need will be made Jmppy on Christmas morning. And this happiness will come through the Associated charities, although that Institution will not act ns Santa Claus. During the past few days several At lantans. with more than enough money for their own Christmas, and people who delight In making others happy In a quiet way, without ostentation, have called upon Secretary Logan, of the Associated Charities, for names of those to whom a merry Christmas would not corn** unless it came In this manner. In his office Secretary Logan has lists of people In Atlanta who are needy. Many of these persons would not have It known to the world that they are about down and out. They still have pride, though they haven’t much of the world’s goods. And It Is these people that severAl charitably inclined persons in touch with the Associated Charities want to help. As a result of the Inquiries made. Secretary Logan has furnished names and preparations are now being made to make the Christmas day a happy one for several families. _ There might be others who want to spread happiness abroad on Christmas day. And If there are. they might get names from Secretary Logan. He knows who would appreciate a merry Christmas. Changes on Central.
