' : GOVERNOR JWAKES SPEECH Advocates Amendment to Law Per mitting Governor to Parole Pris oners Before Minimum ...... .. Penalty Has Expired. The following officers were elected at the regular annual meeting of the Ore gon Prisoners' Aid Society in the Unita rian chapel, corner of Seventh and Yam hill streets, last evening: President, "William F.

Murphy, Alexander Kerrt H. W. Hogue, Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., Dr; J. R. Wilson. M. Goodman, Judge A. I Frazer and Mrs. A. B, Rockey. A motion was entertained to place mora women upon committees than has here tofore been done, and President-elect WoodwauS promised to act accordingly. J. D. Lee presided In the absence of the president. Rev. W. S. Gilbert. Governor Chamberlain delivered an In teresting address "on "The Limitations of the Indeterminate-Sentence Law,' He aid In part: ' ' ' ' "Judges have not; as. a general rule, made a. very- extensive- use of .the law; not over 20 prisoners having been sent .to: the penitentiary under indeterminate sen tences. Many young men- are sent up for long terms for crimes which -are not heinous, and often ' for. the first otrense.' Judges are but human, and are liable to be prejudiced. The responsibility is then thrown upon the executive. to either par don the offender outright, which Is 'often not advisable, or else let him -serve out his long term. .The feeling that same one trusts him, which the parole inspires In the prisoner, often makes a useful citizen of an otherwise worthless crimi nal. Judges have been exercising the parole power vested in them with equally rood effect. I would suggest an amend ment to the present law, vesting more au thority In the Governor, so that he could parole a convicted person on the recom mendation of the prison authorities. As the naw now -reads, the minimum sen tence must be .served before the parole n be exercised ty the Governor. Many f the prisoners could safely be released m six months' time." - - - Governor Chamberlain then referred to prison practices under the present admin istration. "It has been my custom." he said, "to allow every inmate of the prison to. ad dress a letter to the Governor. It is the duty of the prison officials to see that these letters reach me, and they do reach me. All classes of letters are written and when several complaints have reached me, I meet the dissatisfied ones in the chapel and talk to them. We no longer put the striped uniform upon the pris oner as soon as he arrives. He is clad In a blue-drab uniform and only those who violate prison rules are forced to wear stripe. '. Rev. E. W. St Pierre, superintendent of the society's work, then read his re port, which was unanimously adopted. He dealt with the work of the society and outlined their method of caring for paroled men. "We have directly assisted 73 men during the past year," he said, "and, so far as we know, only two have gone back to crime." The closing address was by Judge Frazer. He spoke of needed amend ments to the Juvenile Court laws and of the allied principles of that law and the others under consideration. "I have invoked the indeterminate ientence law several times," he said, "but I prize the parole law much higher. Those who are just out of prison seek the association of criminals, but those who have never been to prison have no oc casion to do so." Mrs. Trumbull called the attention of the assembly to the need of a matron at the county Jail. She also announced that the money to purchase Instruments for the penitentiary band had been donated by Ben Selling. - APPEAL 1 1T LIVESTOCK CASE Interstate Commission "Wants Lower WASHINGTON.
