Miss Ruth Sanderson, police matron.
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.

The elty hall has become so crowded and
Inadequate hi spr.ee that It may l>c neces- J
sar.v for several departments of. flu* elty
government to move to other and more
eninmodlous quarters.
The Chamber of Commerce has already j
decided to move. Quarters for the chamber^
are now being selected and by the first of
the year the moving will Ik* aerompllshed.
The present quarters, In addition to being
unseemly • of Higiit. are Pm* small nnd
cramped.
The waterworks department will proba
bly make n decide*! effort to kick out of
the old building early In next year. As
matters now stand, five clerks, two book
keepers and the secretary of the water
works have to work together in one office,
4ox$) feet.
The great Inadequacy of tin* present of
fices was forcefully brought home to the
waterworks officials and to all officials of
the city government who happened to wit
ness the spectacle on Monday, when the
entrance to the elty hail was blocked and
the sidewalk outside crowded with people
who had come to nny their water hills.

There are approximately 100.00) entries
made In the l>ooks of the waterworks office
at the elty hall every month. Fifteen thou
sand customers pay wator bills every
month. Three or four thousand of these
pay their bills !u person on the loth of

which the illseoiiut of 23 per |w*r ceut is

•Santa Claus I* not going to forget
Atlanta's poor. 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.
