THE ATLANTA HEORCilAN >V\I> KEWS: (PROBERS PRAISE ASSOCIATED 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.

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 old man threw his arms about his son’s neck, and in sobs declared his belief in the pris oner's innocence.
