In Explanation Of Conditions
Which Have Aroused HUI
manitarian Women.

The following self-explanatory state
ment has been issued:
TO the members Of the Associated
Charities and the people Of the city
Of Clarksburg and vicinity:
The managing committee OF the
Associated Charities desires to correct
the statements contained in the Clarks-
burg Telegram of Tuesday, February
s, and the Clarksburg Exponent OF
Wednesday, February 8, with reference
to the work of the organization. and to
two particular instances in which 1t
has been stated that the Associated
Charities have not given proper as
sistince. The committee concelves
that its duty is to minister to the needy
and deserving poor Of the community
as best it can and not to enter into
controversies through the newspapers
or otherwise with persons who do not
approve OF the policy Of the organiza-
ton, The two cases referred to in
each OF the newspapers are designated
on The records Of the Associated Char
tiles as, first, the Postlewaite family,
second, the Cooley family. The facts
in each case are as follows:
First. The Postlewaite case. When
this case was first called to the atten-
ton of the secretary Of the Associated
Charities twelve pieces Of clothing
were furnished to various members OF
the family and two pairs Of shoes were
purchased for them. Since that date
through the effort OF our secretary, a
county order for $40 was delivered to
them and expended for necessities,
Shortly thereafter MIR. Postlewaite
died and a further investigation was
made by our secretary. AT that time
the secretary ascertalned that a Ger
tain amount of insurance was paid to
the family, and was ready and willing
to render such assistance as might be
necessary. However, upon thoroughly
Investigating, we were reliably in
formed that friends Of the Postlewaite
family in Parkersburg, from which
place the family had but recently
moved to C1arksburg), were willing
and offered to take care OF the entire
family. Our secretary then, as stated

tiles assumed the payment Of the rent
for the family for the month Of Feb
ruary and guaranteed the payment Of
the future rent for so long time as
might be necessary. However, con-
sistent with its rule not to pay the al
ready incurred debts Of those whom 1t
assisted, the Associated Charities
would not undertake the payment Of
rent already accrued and due, but en-
pressed its complete willingness to
make necessary arrangements for the
payment of all rent to become due IN
the future. The committee takes this
opportunity to say that it conceives
the desire of its members to be that
its fund shall be expended for present
and future assistance to those needy
and deserving, and not for the pay
ment of debts already incurred, and
for which there could be no Just re-

to these records any party interested
may have free access at any time.
The undersigned committee makes
this statement not by way of apology,
but by way of explanation to the mem
bers of the Associated Charities, whose
will as expressed and unexpressed we
are endeavoring to carry out.
Very respectfully yours,
L. K. RICHARDS,
L. P. SOUDERS,
L. A. JOHNSON,
Managing committee.
The following was issued Thurs
day morning:
I wish to state that the attacks on
the Associated Charities in our daily
papers, did not come from the

The committee desires to state that
both of the above cases arise on &C
count Of the head of the family being
afflicted with tuberculosis, and it has
rendered and It is the idea of the or
ganization to continue rendering as
sistance to these families in so far as
they may be deserving Of the same.
The Associated Charities has without
exception Investigated every case
brought to its attention and has en-
deavored to conscientiously render in
every instance that help and assist
ance which the applicant could in fair
ness to himself expect or demand. The
records of each Of these cases, as we'll
as those in about 1000 other cases that
have been brought to the attention
of the organization, will be found in
the Associated Charities offices, and

than half century. Letters are frequently

the same IDENTICAL system prevails,
so that II person sends cablegram

This gives an assurance to the public
in communicating to various remote
points, besides the administrative
control over the network fcable and
telegraph wires stretching around
the world. However the control IS
made automatic as far as possible.
For instance, when despatch is sent
from Spain to Turkey 1t passes
through many countries and over
many lines, the first country taking
out its portion, according to the
unions schedules, and passing the
balance to the next country; and the
passing along continuing until the
terminal portion is finally received
by Turkey.

This was refused by the Postlewaite

be the logical and best manner.
