The following officers were elected at

gon Prisoners' Aid Society in the Unita
rian chapel, corner of Seventh and Yam
hill streets, last evening: President,
"William F. Woodward: vice-president,
Ben Selling: secretary and treasurer, Mrs.

Pague, Judge A. F. Sears, Jr, Rev. E. P.

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. -

grand Jury that within- the last week he
had received advices from New York to
the effect that he was to have the power
to settle all claims In which it was de
cided the company is liable at 100 cents
on the dollar. Last week he told the
grand Jury that he had been instructed
not to pay over 75 cents. His first instruc
tions were 60 cents, but they were later
changed.
Manners proceeds -to settle all claims at
100 cents except those in which the com
pany's counsel, H. C. Quinby. who also
testified before the Inquisitors, says there
is a doubt as to the company's liability.
This the grand jury considers a distinct
victory for the policyholders which has
resulted from the Investigation begun
by the Jurors.
