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 motorman, 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 £y a Georgian reporter If she desired to make a statement, Miss Sanderson replied; ‘‘I have nothing whatever to say this matter.” Asked if she Intended to submit 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 coin* mission, was seen nnd asked his opin ion concerning the complaint. He re- piled: “I know nothing o( it.’* The chairman was asked if he had not been Informed of the complaint or bed not learned of it through the news papers. To this query he replied: “Don’t Road Paptrs.” “No one has told me anything about It and I don’t read the newspapers.” He wos further questioned us to whether the police commission would take cognisance of the complaint, and replied: "I don’t know.” After his conference with Chief Jen nings Wednesday morning, Motorman 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 Miss Sander son Informed him he would have to pay $15 as expenses for his niece to Cincinnati, nnd 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 he re turned to him. McKinney also declares the matron Informed him he would be allowed to hear 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 lie had forwarded railroad fare to Cincinnati io 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 late much unfavorable qomment has been aroused regarding the prevailing custom In the police department of sending girls and children -to tfye Cincinnati Institution OLD (Mi ALL TOO SMALL FOR ITS PURPOSE Ainimms «*rear nnutnern itniironu rom ps n.v vs. Davis.

The great Inadequacy of the 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 tip entrance to the city hull was blocked and the sidewalk outside crowded with people who had come to nay their water bills.

He might not make a big noise about what he Is going to do, but judging from present indications, several needy famines who would not care to have the world know’ of their need will be made happy on Christmas morning. And this happiness will come through the Associated charities, although that institution will not act as Manta Claus. During the past few' days several At lantans. with more than enough money for their own Christmas, and people who delight in making ptfiers happy in a quiet way, without ostentation, have called upon Meeretary Logan, of the Associated Charities, for names of those to whom a merry Christmas would not come unless it came in this manner. I In his office Secretary Logon has lists of people In Atlanta who ure needy. Many of ihese 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 thoj several charitably Inclined persons In touch with the Associated Charities want to help. As a result of the Inquiries made. Secretary -Logan lias furnished names . and procuration* are now being made to make the Christmas day a happy one for several families. There might be others who want to names from Secretary Logan. H known who would appreciate a merr Christmas. Changes on Central.
