PRACTICE ONE THAT IS NOT APPRECIATED aparlateaeat Morris of Associated Charities Points Oat the) Hard ship a ad Injustice of the Way of Other Cltlea. Superintendent Morris of the Bureau of Associated Charities does not believe the shifting of destitute or paupers from one county to another Is an effective means to any end. A case In point has Just been disposed of by Mr Morris. Mrs. Johannah McCarthy, 16 years of bk?, reached Omaha Wednesday morning;, without money and a stranger here. She was sent from the Union station to the police station, and in turn was referred to the Associated Chari ties. The old woman told several stories of relatives living- at Ucnver and Cripple Creek, but when questioned was unable to give either the name or address of even one of the alleged relatives. She also said she had been passed along; from county to county and now wanted to reach Colorado. On further questioning; she gave the name of a daughter at Avoca, la. Superintendent Morris telegraphed the daughter and the local authorities notified the authorities at Avoca that the old woman would be sent to Avoca. This case Is one of those that comes particularly under the Jurisdiction of the Bureau of Associated Charities. While rendering all necessary assistance in all Worthy cases. It Is within the prov ince of the bureau to protect the public against unnecessary calls for charity. No Locking- of Horns. Superintendent Morris wishes it distinctly understood that the bureau Is not locking horns with any other charitable interests, but Is rather trying to protect all legitimate charitable work of the city. On Tuesday complaints were received by Superintend ent Morris fnvm the St. James Orphanage, city mission and the Volunteers of Amer ica stating that unauthorized parties have bees soliciting contributions In the names of those Institutions. As a result of an In vestigation by Mr. Morris a number of South Omaha alleged charitable workers were brought ,be fore Captain Mostyn at the city Jail on suspicion of being the parties implicated. While no arrests were made at that time, It Is understood the confer ence with the police official had a salutory effect Mr. Morris said the article In the News of Wednesday conveyed a distorted impression In saying that the mission workers of Omaha and South Omaha have locked horns with Superintendent Morris of the Bureau of Associated Charities. "Such a statement is a wild one and not borne out by the facts," said Mr. Morris. i i I ! I . n h hW 1 1 u D fail rt II b-S . I 1 I .
