Varney, l'ormer Salem C'liit-r of Police, Is Xanicd for State Parole Officer. SALKM, Dr. Si. K. Or., Jan. 22. (Special.! Dee Steiner. warden of the state penitentiary here since last May. loday relinquished his duties at that institution ' and will be reinstated as superintendent of the Oregon state hospital. Under an agreement -with the state board of control Dr. Steiner resigned temporarily as superintend ent of the hospital last .May and was appointed warden of the penitentiary by Governor Olcott. It was the under standing at that time that Dr. Steiner should be reinstated at the hospital at his pleasure and his action today in asking to be relieved of his duties at the penitentiary was in accord ance with this agreement. Governor Olcott stated today that D. H. Compton. now state parole officer, will succeed Ir. Steiner as warden of the penitentiary on Feb ruary 1. and Percy A. Varney, who recently resigned as chief of the Salem police department, will be ap pointed parole officer to succeed Mr. Compton. Mr. Compton has been parole officer during the entire ad ministration of Dr. Steiner and is thoroughly conversant with the duties he will have to perform in his new position as warden. Mr. Varney has acted as chief of police of Salem for the past five years, and his duties in this capacity have fitted him for the position of parole officer, according to the gov ernor. In severing his connection with the penitentiary preparatory to re turning to the state hospital. Warden Steiner today submitted to the ex ecutive a report outlining some of the accomplishments of his admin istration. Poor DiHclpllne KoudiI. His report in part says: "During the early part of last year you ordered me to assume the war denship of the Oregon state peniten tiary with instructions to establish some definite prison policy. I found the poor discipline obtaining at the penitentiary was largely caused by an undisciplined organization of em ployes. Vulgarity and profanity was rather the common rule of addressing inmates, and a general disregard for the visiting public. Kmployes were going about airing their personal ideas of management and peddling gossip, showing open disloyalty and unfitness for the work. These indi viduals have been weeded out ar fast as the occasions presented themselves. In this connection, however, 1 lo not wish to cast any reflection upon two former officials at the prison who resigned voluntarily to engage in other lines of endeavor. "Along with the cleaning of the personnel came about cleaner sani tation and order. Handkerchiefs, tooth brushes, combs and mirrors were furnished the men, and their use was demanded. Personal physical en counters which were ram-pant have been practically eliminated. "With a good working organization, the one big element to assure success is work, without which no prison can hope to maintain discipline or good feeling. T have found a task for every able-bodied man in the prison and I want to say in behalf of the prisoners that they responded well and are glad of the chance to work. The result of my recent visit to the many prisons of this country shows that practically all. with the exception of the one lo cated in Minnesota, have problems similar to those confronting the Ore Kon penitentiary officials. Safe I'rtnon IV reded. "Oregon will never get the best re sults until it builds a prison designed along business lines and constructed safely to hold its inmates within proper wall. 1 lie industries tor the prisoners should be earned on within the walls of the prison as far as possible, as it is unfair to the men and the public to place any unnecessary temptations for the men to break custody. "T hope the next legislature will equip the prison with a wood work ing plant, so logs eor.ld be shipped in and worked up into fruit boxes and farmers' utensils. The slabs and waste could be used for beating. This wot Id in no way Interfere with any outride industry, as the output would be very small. It is a shame that this free water power flows through the prison yard unused. "During the past year we have had 10 escapes, most of whom were re turned within a few hours or days. I Only three of these men remain un caught. For comparison in this re gard I attach the prison escape record for the past few years: 1916, 23; 1317, i; ISIS. 25; 1919. 10. "I am pleased to inform you that the prison and inmates are going good. When you ordered me to the penitentiary you said 1 could hire or discharge whom I pleased, and it is due to this free hand which has made it possible to bring about such results as now obtained at the peni tentiary. "I wish to thank you for your counsel and advice during the past several months and have carried out your orders, I respectfully ask to be relieved from the wardenship of the penitentiary that 1 may go back to my life's work." if : f : I v t - f? - V v I if v - - ?

The law yer objected to answering on techni cal grounds and was sustained by the court. "The estate is valued at $28,000. The petition held that Dr. Smith was un able to protect the interests of the estate and nlso lock out for affairs of Jacob Oiiiliford. as he had been doing, because of the fact that Mr Gulliford had an $18,000 claim against the estate of his deceased son.

The proposal of the Associated In dustries was made in a letter signed by Scott . Henderson, president of the organization. It set forth the losses to both sides incurred through the constant industrial clashes dur ing the past year and suggested that future, difficulties be settled by an ai-bit ration board.
