Physician Declares the Present Su-
perintendent Should Not Be Re
moved Because of the I'm
fortunate Affair.

OAKLAND, Aug. 1S-Dr. J. ]. Mclean
DID, has expressed his views regarding
the financial wrecking of the Associated
Charities. DR.. Mclean was one Of the
original members of the association and
has taken an active part in its affairs for
many years. He declares that the present
distress is not in any sense the fault OF
the superintendent Mrs. H. l.. Kelly
whose resignation the board of directors
accepted. to take effect in two weeks
time.
DR.. McLeans statement contains the
following:
1t is impossible to overestinate the
necessity Tor a competent and suitable
superintendent and secretary The
early history of the organization was
greatly hampered by frequent changes
For anything like competency on the
part of such official expert knowledge
IS essential The early officials did
the best they could without that
knowledge, and while they were gain
ing the rudiments of it no one among
them has ever made so much progress
in this direction as has been made by
Mrs. Kelly.
l dc not hesitate to say that the or
ganization has been far more effective
under the present SUPPLEMENTARY
than at any previous period and that
because of the knowledge gained of
the general principles of charity or
ganiZations and of the wide acquaiEt-
ance with the needy class in our city
1T would be a great misfortune to
throw this away. Unless, therefore,
there exists. aside from anything III
the public knowledge, the most i'm
perative reason for a change, it would
be nothing less than a calamity 10
place an entirely inexperienced person
in charge of this most vital and i'm
portant work of experimenting the
wise administration of charities in our
city. The present financial embarrass-
ment is of course TO be regretted bGt
the general directorate and the other
officers of the organization must be
held much more responsible for this
condition of things than the superin-
tendcnt. who is only the executive
agent in carrying out the decisions of
the directorate.

Captain Betbeder Denies the Killing

Consul W. Y. Loaiza of the Argentine
Republic is in receipt of a cablegram
from the commander of the Argentine
training ship Presidente Sarmiento in ex-
planaton of the story exclusively pub
lished in The Call few days after his
vessel left this port to the effect that a
sailor had been killed aboard the ship by
the master-at-arms and the fact hidden
from the United States officials. a copy
of The Cali containing the story of the
killing was forwarded to Captain Bet
beder by Consul LoaiZa, with a request
for statement of the facts in the case.
The cable message received in answer to
this request. dated Yokohama, is as fol-
lows:
Argentine Consul LoaiZa, San Fran
cisco Cal: The sailor who was slightly
wounded aboard the Presdente Sar-
miento by the master-at-arms died of
pulmonary complications nine days
after our leaving that port and not
during our stay there. as stated in the
newspapers. Kindly rectify.
CAPTAIN BETBEDER
1t will be seen that while Captain Bet
beder admits the fact of the shooting he
seeks to absolve himself from the conse-
uuences attendant upon his neglect to re-
port the affair to the proper United States
authorities by denying that the sailor died
while the Presidcnte Sarmiento remained
in port.
