THE MORNING OKEGOMAN, TUESDAY, NOVE3IBER 28, 1922 II PILE FOR OREGOTJ URGED Warden Lewis Says Present Statute Is Unworkable. REFORMS ARE NEEDED Practically All Prisoners Held to Be Entitled to Benefits of Act When Eligible. SALEM, Or., Nov. ST. (Special.) Revision of the state parole laws tso that all persons sent to the peni tentiary, exclusive of those serving life terms, may receive time deduc tions for good behavior, was recom mended by James E. Lewis, warden of the Oregon prison, in his biennial report completed here today. At the present time certain classes of pris oners, because of the nature o their crimes, are not eligible for parole or release until they have served their maximum sentences. The present parole law," said Mr. Lewis in his report," has been changed so many times that it is very difficult to interpret and, ac cording to the opinion of the attorney-general, does not allow pris oners who have been previously convicted of crime to be paroled. Neiv Law Advocated. - "It is my recommendation that this law be repealed and that an entirely new law be drafted con taining the principles of the present law, but so worded that there can be no misunderstanding as to its in tents and purposes, and that all pris oners except those sentenced for life and those convicted of crimes of violence, 6hould be subject to parole. "The good time allowed on mini mum sentence is an incentive for the prisoners to be good in order that they may be eligible for considera tion sooner than if they failed to live up to the rules and regulations of the institution. I belieye those sent up for crimes of violence who, according to the law, are compelled to do the full sentence, and others who for various reasons are obliged to do the maximum time, should re ceive good time deductions from feaid maximum sentence, providing the warden thinks they are entitled to such credits. This gives them something to look forward to and an incentive to behave themselves. Inmates Kept Employed. "We try to keep all inmates em ployed at something and at the same time endeavor to furnish a reason able amouht of recreation, such as baseball Saturday afternoons dur ing the summer months and motion picture shows twice a week the year round, except during the very hot test summer months, the state fur nishing pictures once a week and the Universal Film Exchange, Inc., of Portland furnishing the prisoners one set of films a week, gratis. "T. O. Bligh and son Frank al ways furnish the inmates a few good shows during the holidays, for which they deserve much credit; The prisoners stage a show of their own once a year. A large part of the eplendid morale of the institution is attributed to the recreation received by the inmates." CHICAGO GREETS TIGER (Concluded an Page , Column 1.) with great pleasure to visiting the ex-president at Washington next week. Asked if he planned to talk in this country about the league of nations, he replied: "I am ready." But when one questioner asked him if he approved of the league, he replied: " "That is a more complicated question." Clemenceau retired at S o'clock after his customary supper of soup, cheese and five-minute eggs. He planned to rise about 4 and begin final work on the address he will deliver at the auditorium to morrow afternoon. He will speak here to the biggest audience he has ever faced. The auditorium holds about 5000 and seats have been unobtainable for days. Ampli fiers have been set up so that the crowd outside can hear. His speech will also be relayed from a radio station that has a sending radius of 1500 miles and thousands of mid dle west farmers who keep in touch with events by radio are expected to listen in. SEX ATE EIRE AGAIX DKAWY Uilelicock Leads Off in Icbate by Attack on Clemenceau. WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 27. The Tiger of France again came under fire in the senate today, when his utterances on his tour of the United States were the subject of a conflicting debate, which was en livened by an interruption from the galleries by a negro soldier. Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Ne braska, ex-chairman of the foreign relations committee, led off in the debate with an attack on M. Clem enceau and on French policies, and was joined in the criticism by other senators, while Senator Myers, dem ocrat, Montana, came to the defense of the aged French statesman. Sen ator Owen, democrat, Oklahoma, also expressed sympathy with M. Clemeneeau's mission to America, but criticised French policies. It was during Mr. Hitchcock's at tack upon the war-time premier in connection with alleged atrocities of black French colonials in Ger many that the negro soldier, who later gave his name as Lucien Jones, a patient at a government hospital near here, rose in the gallery and sought to question the senator. Vice-President Coolidge banged the gavel and senate atendants rushed forward and restrained the man, so that the Question wan QDvaH but excitement prevailed in the sen ate. The negro soon left the galleries, but returned for the rest of the debate, while Senator Heflin. demo- Special for 2 Days 23c Reduction Per Box on Hood River Apples direct from the growers.

There had been discrimination, the Alabama senator shouted, declaring that in the past women had been ejected from the galleries of both the senate and hoHoe for In terrupting debate, while this time the disturber was permitted to re main. Senators Curtis, republican, Kan sas, and Hitchcock, however, ex pressed the belief that the negro had acted through ignorance, and no action was taken in the case. Senator-Hitchcock especially crit icised the statements of M. Clem enceau in reference to the quarter ing of French "black troops" on the Rhine, declaring the former pre mier's denials of the use of these troops had been disproved. He also attacked the . French reparations demands on Germany. Senator Myers, in defending M. Clemenceau, deplored Senator Hitch cock's criticism of the French states man and commended French pol icies toward . Germany. Senator Owen, although criticising French policies, expressed sympathy for M. Clemeneeau's mission, saying the visitor was "making a pathetic ap peal to America." He declared, however, that M. Clemenceau was largely responsible. through the -ersailles treaty, for present European difficulties and predicted that the American people would not co-operate with France while she continued her present policies. Nevertheless, he added, he be lieved the "visit of Clemenceau will be of great value in the discussion, frankly, honestly, fearlessly" of matters under public discussion ae a result of the former premier's utterances. Senator Hitchcock, replying par ticularly to M. Clemeneeau's state ment that no black troops remained in Germany, presented figures to show that 23,000 black colonials were in Germany last month. 'The Nebraska senator also said the reparation demands upon Germany were "impossible." Senator Myers declared he resented having M. Clemenceau "rebuked and assailed," and added that he was in complete agreement with M. Clem eneeau's argument "that America erred in not joining the league of nations." The Montana senator also deplored what he said were "expressions of sympathy for Germany" by Senator Hitchcock. "Every dollar laid on Germany in reparations should be collected, and I have no sympathy with the whin ing of Germany against France." said Senator Myers. Senator Owen expressed sorrow that Clemenceau, Lloyd George and others at the peace table had "wrung concessions" from ex-President Wil son and caused resentment in this country with sentiment resulting in rejection or the Versailles treaty. "The French leadership is slowly isolating from the French govern ment the sympathy of the world," he declared, "in spite of the fact that the American people have felt a great and sentimental friendship for the people of France." Senator Owen said M. Clemen eeau's visit might "open the door" to a better understanding between European nations and the United States, and he suggested inviting French, British and Italian leaders to this country for a conference. Declaring that M. Clemenceau "ex torted much" from Woodrow Wilson in the making of the Versailles treaty, Senator Owen said America would not support a "policy of greed, brute force and injustice be tween nations"- and that America could not co-operate with France in the present state of affairs.
