Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee Finds Complaints Are
Groundless.
Hirers of the Atlanta Associated
a t itles discussed with gratification
rsday the thoroughgoing indorse-
r:it of their work by the special
mmittee of the Atlanta Chamber of
inmerc?.
The committee, named as the re-
of several minor complaints in
spect to tho Associated Charities’
othode, found the complaints to be
soundless and discovered so much
commend that they reported at
i'gth on tho good work of the or-
■ nation, and urged that contribu-
iis for charity be given to the As-
«.< luted Charities in preference to
similar body, because of the cer-
nty that it would be judiciously ex-
; rnded.
Only two criticisms were offered,
.e was that the organization prob-
h >ly erred in being too painstaking
i he keeping of some of its records
Change Recommended,
was recommended that certain
the records in respect to treatment
cases be less voluminous. In this
■•>»y it was thought clerical expenses
would be minimized.
Another recommendation was made
at the record? of disbursements of
r.ds to individuals be made more
omplete by obtaining a. receipt from
lif* recipient.
Referring to the work of the Asso
rted Charities, the report says:
It Is our opinion that the best work
eing done is along the lines of treat
ment and* prevention of diseases
• ntong the poor. The association di
es this work into two phases. First,
■ treatment of diseases in the indi-
i.ual family, second, undertaking to
lease and improve the general fa-
llties for treating and preventing
senses and sickness in a community,
specially in relation to the poor.
"In regard to the flfcst phase, the
<»soclation endeavors always to see
| that every needy family concerning I
! whom there is any indication of dis-
i ease receives medical attention. In
l securing such treatment for these
! People, they use the Grady Hospital,
college clinics and the services of pri-
vate practitioners. For tlie month of
October. 1913, almost 100 cases were
referred for treatment to private
practitioners who gave their services
free.
“During the past year the associa
tion expended more than $600 for
medicines alone, which they distrib
uted to the poor, and a large sum of
money was used to supply suitable
eyeglasses. During the past year the
association lias secured the services
of physicians for 958 families and di
rected to clinics and places in the
hospital members of 557 families, se
cured nurses in 140 families, and fur- f
nislied glasses and medicines to mem
bers of 583 families.
“The second phase of the medical j
work has its relation to the Improve- j
ment of the general facilities and the |
prevention of disease.
Students Aid in Work.
“They have recently organized a
medical students’ committee, among
the fourth-year men of the Atlanta '
Medical College, whose members they ;
use to supplement the work of the |
two city physicians. These student*
volunteer for work in the homes of i
the poor of the city, where it is not j
always necessary to have a more ex- j
perienced/doctor. From this commit
tee they hope to develop among the |
students such appreciation of thej
need of hospital social service that, in j
time, a department of medical social j
service will be established in the Gra
dy Hospital.

Morbid Women Storm New York
Courtroom and Battle Guard,
but Are Rejected.
X E VY VO R 1<. Dec 11. — Women
stormed the court of Judge Foster
to-day in an attempt to attend the
trial of Hans Schmidt, the renegade
priest accused of murdering Anna
Aumuller, and precipitated a near
riot.
When the trial began Judge Foster
barred the morbid and curious from
his room, but more than 100 women
appeared to-day and stormed the
door in a body. They were ordered
away by the bailiff on guard at the
door and then they “rushed” him.
Several got by the guard, but oth
er court attendants rushed to his aid
and they were driven out. When
they were ejected several of the
women became hysterical and had to
be led from the building.
Schmidt's aged father was spurned
by the defendant to-day. The older
man, who came from Germany with
his daughter to aid his son, wept
when he was told that Schmidt would
not see him.
“I w r ill see m.v sister, hut 1 don't
want to see my father,” said the
prisoner. "Why should 1 see my
father? I don't care anything about
him.”
Baler he changed his mind and the
father and sister went to Schmidt’s
cell together. The old man threw his
arms about his son’s neck, and in
sobs declared his belief in the pris
oner's innocence.
The sister also wept and begged
her brother to assure her he was in
nocent, hut he refused to answer.
