Chaplain Permitted to See Men and
Talk on All Subjects Except Par
dona and Paroles, He Says,
SALEM, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
State Treasurer Kay today anndunced
that criticisms of rules regulating
chaplains at the State Penitentiary
were unjust. Rules adopted by Super
intendent Jllnto several weeks ago
were considered somewhat stringent by
tho Board of Control, and they were
immediately changed, to eliminate all
objectionable features.
Under the modified rules chaplains
may talk to convicts on all subjects ex
cepting those relating: to paroles and
pardons. They may not visit the pris
oners in their cells, but may send for
convicts at any time during the day
and one night each week. Mr. Kay
said the attention of the board was
called to tho rules soon after they were
made by Mr. Minto. and a provision for
bidding chaplains to converse with con
victs on any subjects but religion was
immediately stricken out.
"The present rules are satisfactory to
the board." continued Mr. Kay, "and
there can be no cause for criticism. A
change in rules was made necessary be
cause one or two liberal provisions were
abused. I have heard no complaint by
chaplains of the rules now in force.
The criticisms evidently were based on
the first draft made by Mr. Mlnto.

The document points out that tha

"Every infringement by force," it
says, "of the autonomy and independ
