THE -HOB5ING OBEGONIAN, .FRIDAY, . JUNE 1 27,. .1913. HONOR SYSTEM PRISON . NEAR' END Within Walls' Board of Con trol Will"; Rule, : but West ' . Claims;".Say"- Outside. ''. GOVERNOR POINTS TO LAW Beautify Hair ' and Complexion State Executive Declares Statutes Favor Hira With Convicts : Away . From Penitentiary Full Pub licity of Paroles Due. v SALEM. Or., June 26. (Special.) 'The Board of Control today agreed that all paroles, pardons and other news of a public nature at the state peniten tiary, should be made public, and that the 'Honor system" within the prison .virtually should be abandoned. Governor West insisted that the law Save him the right to continue the "honor system" with convicts working outside of the prison, but Treasurer i Kay will ask for an Interpretation of the law on this subject from the Attorney-General. '. . Superintendent Lawson was put in ' complete co,ntrol of. the prison, and will be responsible for all transgressions of rules by the men. The board gave him ' no instructions as to how to govern the , Institution, and, if he desires. It is be lieved he can establish an "honor, sys tem" of his own. Governor Iisna Statement r In a formal statement preceding the meeting of the board the Governor characterized a statement that he had abandoned the "honor system" as with out foundation, and 'called those giv ing It currency "crooks." Heretofore Information at ' the penitentiary has been withheld by order of the ' Gov ernor, and news from the institution has been obtained through various out side channels. The report that the sys tem had been' abandoned was based on a clause in a written statement by the Governor, which follows: "The records will show an increase of 50 per cent in our guard force dur ing the month of June over that of the .month of January. Since the first of "June, about which time most of the 'honor men' were called in, we have been working nearly all our outside men under guard, yet in spite of this we are short more men for the month of June .than we are for the preceding month." "Red Hot" Session Held. The open session of the board1 fol lowed Its redhot executive session early In the day, at which the Governor pro duced a law passed by the people at the last election giving him power to detail convicts . from the penitentiary to road work and work at various in stitutions. In the original bill creat ing the Board of Control there was a clause repealing this law and giving tne board the control of convicts. How ever, the clause was left out in re drafting by a committee. As a result the Governor Insists that the law passed by the people is still in effect. Treasurer Kay, however, is. doubtful about this being so and will have the law construed. If the Attorney-Gen eral' holds that the Board'3 of Control bill repeals the law passed by the people Mr. Kay will insist UDon the board having control of all convicts and that when any are assigned to road work they shall be subject to rules ana regulations formulated by the board. The statement read bv the Governor immediately after he called the board to o.rder, in part follows: Inasmuch a the purpose of the meeting of the Board la that of discussing Its "fu ture policy as to the handling of convicts at the Oraron Stata Prison, that institution being, and having been since the third day of June, under the management of the Board, please let me suggest that what ever policy is adopted by the Board be made of record in order: 1 That the public may know the views oi ine .uoara ana tne members thereof in reference to the treatment of prisoners. 2- That the warden may be fullv and clearly advised as to the wishes of the Board. 3 Not only that the prisoners may be fully Informed as to what tho Board ex pects of them In the way of good conduct and service, but as to the attitude of the soara toward them when such good con duct and service have been faithfully ren dered. Policy Is Announced. It Was my Wish that th In nr h. Rmn1.l1 through the McArthur bill so. as to place the detailing of prisoners for institutional and road work in tho hands of the Board of Control and section 12 of the said bill as originally Introduced as provided, but for some reason never made known to this of fice, the said section was auletlv flrnnn. from the substitute bill later Introduced. It may have been that someone, having over looked the prison labor law passed by the , people, thought by dronDine said section 19 from the substitute bill he would crucify the "honor system." However, through the failure to repeal the said prison labor law passed by the people, It is still possible to worn prisoners at state institutions and upon county roads and the- law pravldes that such prisoners shall be detailed by the Gov ernor. . - I. therefore, wish to announm mv nnlti-v The "honor system" will prevail in all road i camps and at all other institutions where no prisoners are employed. Regarding his denial of his' intention io abolish the "honor system,!- the Gov ernor in his formal statement save: "Those who are trying to crucify this humane policy will never have the pleasure of heading It off, as I intend rurtner to extend the policy through the opportunity presented by the recent k adoption of good roads legislation." (Martyn's Health Guide.) Dull, stringy haif is the result of shampooing with items containing free alkali. Tou can easily overcome these faults and have beautiful, soft, glossy, healthy r hair by using as shampoo a teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of. Hot water. This makes enough for a shampoo unless the head is very dirty. - Continued use of this simple, Inexpensive and pure cleanser and toner insures a 'healthy head and long, attractive, easily managed hair. For pimples, blackheads, sallowneas, oily skin and swarthy appearance use spurmax lotion, which can be made at home for a small sum. It tones the skin, brings out a beautiful, healthy glow and softens and refines the tex ture while reducing the pores. It takes the place of pore clogging face pow ders and cosmetics with most beauties of the' day. Mix 4 oz. of spurmax with pint hot water, add two teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Allow'to cool and apply with - palms of hands, rubbing gently until dry. It seems part of the skin when on and protects against wind and sun. Adv. nouncement made of the" proposed hanges to be made by the board of higher curricula. "In training engineers we feel that it is one of the professions that re quires the stiff est sort of work in all around Intellectual ability, and would differentiate it from the manual arts. Harvard is requiring degrees from the arts department befqre students may enter the engineering classes, and here at Oregon we ought to require five or six years for graduation in order to turn out men of the best training for such responsible positions. "On the other hand, the division that the board of higher curricula has sug gested is that adopted by the State of Indiana, and from our viewpoint is the second best. It is still two months before the board will make a final decision, and in the meantime the uni versity will endeavor to show the board that the university is the proper place for-the teaching of the higher branches of engineering."

The suit to restrain the city from pay ing the special fund warrants drawn to- defray the expense of improving Icying: avenue b issuing- warrants on the general fund was practically de cided in favor of the defendants by Judge Campbell, of the Circuit Court today, when he denied the motion of the plaintiff asking for a judgment on the pleadings. ; "After the .contractors had started work on the ' Irving-avenue improve ment," said the court, "the Council found that, if continued, it would de stroy a vast amount of property and thus render the general taxpayers li able for damages In a large sum. ' In order to prevent that damage, the Council stopped the improvement, as the best step, in its judgment, to guard the general taxpayers against heavy financial losses. "While it is true," the charter pro vides that no street improvement can be. paid for out of the general fund .. . still it was found in this case that the general taxpayers would Buf fer greater injuries by a continuance of the Improvement than by stopping it and paying for the work done. . . Where a Council did this in good faith and without any " evidence" of rraud, I do not think a court of equity should set that compromise aside. It simmers down to a simple matter of justice and that means the warrants In question should be paid." Manual Training Proposed. ROSE BURG, Or.. June 26. (Special.) A proposition to equip the local schools with maunal training and do mestic science-courses is being agitated here by members of the School Board and citizens.
