rflE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1912. V - ii . OF 58 ESCAPES, 40 ARE 8Y HONOR IN Governor West's Prison Re form System Shows This One Concrete Result. RECORD IS FOR 18 MONTHS Two Tears, ISIO ana 1911, Most Prolific Period tor Fugitives- Be fore, Show Only 22 Convicts Taking "French Leave.' SALEM. Or.. Dec. 4. (Special.) After 18 months of the so-called "honor system" of Governor West one concrete result has arisen from the practical -workings or the wnoie system. ia 1m th fay. ttftt three-fourths of the escaped convicts during; the portion of the biennial period, rrom wmcn records are available, were "honor men' Dur ing these 18 months there were 68 prisoners who escaped from the Insti tution. Of these 68 prisoners 40 were "honor men." These "honor men," under the sys tem Inaugurated by the Governor, were employed outside of the prison at va rious institutions and on road work and were unguarded In their employment. The scheme of the Governor starting Jn April with eight men out on "honor" has developed until more than half of the inmates of the institution have been at times placed under similar condi tions. The result has been wholesale escapes. While prison officials have placed the blame for this large num ber of escapes on the fact that there have been great numbers of men un guarded around the various institutions and on road work in isolated camps, nevertheless It has been pointed out that this unguarded position of the con victs has resulted in the wholesale es capes. In IS Months B8 Escape. During 190S and 1910. when the es capes were more numerous than ever before In the prison's history, but 28 men escaped. During the next 18 months there were 68 escapes. An average for the 18 months shows that there were approximately 91 men out on "honor" each month during the en tire time. This number fluctuated greatly, however, month by month. Starting with eight men In April, 1911, following is a rocord of the men out for the 18 months: 1911 April. 8; May, 30; June. 7; July, 82; August, 90: September, 129; October, 7; November, 96- December. 134. 1912 January, 101; February, 83; March. 107; April. 132; May, 87; June. 105; July. 109; August, 99; September, 80 This brings the number up to the conclusion of the biennial period. During those two years there were 68 escapes from the prison. Of this number 40 were "honor" men. As a comparison, during the entire preceding two years representing the same period of time, there were but 22 escapes. Of these 22 escapes some were . trusties, but most of the escapes were from the State School for the Feeble Minded, where the convicts were work ing under guard in the construction of the new buildings for that Institu tion. 10 Fugitives Returned. During the period represented under the present administration out of the men escaping 16 have been returned to the Penitentiary and some are serving time in other prisons outside of Oregon. One of the honor men was killed by falling under a train near Eugene. Penitentiary statistics show that about one-fourth of the total number of men who escaped, escaped from the prison itself or from the prison farm and grounds while the other three fourths were from- other institutions, road work or other outside work. Vir tually three-fourth of the 68 escapes were made by the "honor" men. Some of these were from the asylum, some from the asylum farm, some from the tuberculosis sanatorium rock crusher, others from the camp Benson road work near Shellrock and others from the Crater Lake road work in Southern Oregon. A large share of the diffi culty In the escapes of honor men was had at the State School for the Feeble Minded from which place bad breaks were made during the preceding two years. One Terrorises Country. A large number of these men were placed at work at these Institutions and the escapes became numerous. It was from here that Jesse Hall escaped and terrorised the country for several days, until he was captured in Benton County on his way to the Coast. Finally the men were withdrawn entirely from the Institution, Super intendent Smith protesting against keeping them further. The annual average of escapes for the two years when the "honor" men have been in use is placed at 20, not couatlng the men who have been re turned to the prison. For the preced ing two years the annual average of escapes was 11. VANCOUVER MILL RESUMES Pittock & Leadbetter Plant Soon to Employ 10 Men. VANCOUVER. Wash, Dec. 4. (Spe cial.)

Town Went Dry Nov. K. VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. 4. Spe cial.) One vote cast for Dr. Louise Wright, a woman candidate for Mayor EE - ELECT MAYORS OF PROGRES CITY UPBUILDING. OUtV. Mayor-elect R. G. Smith of .Grants to Crescent City and to have the the Grants Pass end of the line. John R. Haster, who was re-elected won out over H. T. Botts by a small of the town of Camas, about 12 miles east of beie, would have elected her to that high office, as she was defeated by that one vote. The successful candidate was Mayor J. W. Duvall, who has served two years. Four hundred and one votes were cast. Mayor Duvall receiving 201, and Dr. Wright 200. As the final- vote was so close, there has been some talk of a recount, but It Is not probable that there will be, each side being satisfied. As Councilman, H. S. Clark and Wil liam Strunk were elected. Mr. Duval is dry that is, "I am not thirsty, understand me," he said to night, "but I stand for a dry town." Friends of Dr. Wright make the as sertion that some of the "opposition circulated the report that she was put up by the whisky element, and that she was in favor of a wet town, but this is preposterous, she said today. "They just did that to defeat me, she added. "I guess we did not work bard enough. But we made no espec ial effort. Had we, I think the result would have been changed." Mr. Duvall, who is superintendent of the bag department of the paper mill in Cam as, said that ha did not ask a single man, or married man, either, to vote for him. During the past two years since he has been Mayor, he has seen a large number of improvements made, streets graded and cement sidewalks put In, and this, friends say, has made ene mies, made many enemies of those who do not desire to pay taxes for progress. The town went dry November 5. LEBANON WOMEN TRY RUSE With Single Ticket and Little Inter ' est Suffragists Play Trick. LEBANON, Or., Dec 4. (Special.) The suffragists of Lebanon attempted to steal a march on the men voters at the city election Monday and came near doing so.

The women then got together and agreed to put forward two of their own number for councimen and began to turn out in large numbers at the polls and were writing In the names of the two candidates. This gave the men a good scare but the women did not have time to get enough of their number out to make the scheme work and the three men were elected. The ticket elected was as follows: Councllmen, B. L. Cotton, W. O. Mc Clain and J. S. Northrop; Recorder, J. M. Burtenshaw; Treasurer, R. W. Green.

CASTLE ROCK GETS DRY MAYOR Election Settles Question Which Had Worried 'courts, Even. CASTLE ROCK. Wash.. Dec 4. (Spe ciaL) If this town Is not as dry as a bone within the next few months. It will not be the fault of her citizens, who have twice spoken their desires to that end In no uncertain terms. On November 5 the town was voted dry by a majority of 49 and at the election yesterday a drjr Mayor and two Councllmen were elected by an almost two to one vote. A contest suit was filed by the "wets" a week or two ago, and this was tried out in Kalama Mod. day, but the Judge reserved his decis ion until he could look up some au thorities. The election yesterday set tles the matter, however, for there was already one "dry" member of the Council, so it is a settled fact that no more licenses will be issued, no matter what the court's decision may be. George Taylor is the Mayor-elect and C. A Learning and P. S. Dykeman are the new Councllmen, while E. E. Man sell was elected Treasurer. A factor in the heavy vote for the dry ticket is claimed by some to have been anger at the old Council for passing an ob noxious and burdensome sidewalk or dlnance. but this is only conjecture, The people want the town dry, and they are going to have It.
