fJIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN', PORTLAND, JANUARY 21, 1912. " m MURDERERS FIND LlflH IS CHAMPION Member of Parole Board Says There's Small Chance to Reform Forger. BEAT PUBLIC, LATTER'S CRY Petty Larceny and' "Second-Story" Mrn Classed Among Those Beyond HopeConvlct Now Out Called Bark to Prison Cell: SALEM. Or.. Jan. 19. (Special.) That forcers, petty larcenlsts and "second-story" me a are beyond reformation .by the parole board after thrlr flrat offense and that about the only cla of criminal who are subject to reform. re murderer la the opinion of J J me R. Linn, from the experience which he baa derived as a member of the parol board and aa an appointee of Uovernor West. OoTemor West waa responsible In the main for the Inauguration of the parole board through a bill which West fath ered In the Legislature and which waa passed largely through his Influence In the executive offices. It also became) known today that numerous men who were given paroles by the parole board are being received back at the Institution, but news of this la being carefully withheld and sup pressed, not only by Uovernor West himself, but by the officials at the State Penitentiary. Lias Attacks rmpal-a Talk. That the assertion of Governor West early in the campaign, that be Intended to parole and pardon enough prisoners to keep the cost of maintenance down. Is also branded by Mr. Linn aa a mls take and asa policy which waa not soundly based In Its Inception. "I am thoroughly satisfied from th experience which I have had In con nection with the parole board that all second term men who have been con victed of larceny, burglary, forirery and crlmee of that nature are beyond hope of reformation." said Mr. Linn today. Many of them are being received back at the prison. There are at least half a dosen men of this caliber who we paroled on urgent recommendation of people closely affiliated with the Pris oners' Aid Society and kindred organl aatlons who have been received back in a comparatively recent period. They are not worthy of particular considera tion and never could be reformed. "I am not branding- the parole sys tem as a failure, by making; this state ment, but I do assert trat such a clasa of men. when they come back to the Penitentiary a second time, are the same as though they came back for life. "Beat Public la Ala. "Nina times out of ten the murderer or the man who commits an assault with a Oadly weapon commits the crime because he has some specific ob ject In Tlsw directed at some particular person. It 1 highly probable that such a man would never commit another crime. But outside of this class there Is a great class of criminals who have only one object In Uf to beat the public. The parol board la now Issuing very few parole. On reason for this Is found In the fact that w do not be lieve In the policy of paroling men to save expenses and keep the cost of the prison down. The other Is that there Is little chance of securing; em ployment for paroled men. "The Governor has placed the entire responsibility of handling- criminals for parole on the parole board, and w In tend to see that, as far aa possible, the criminals who come under our consid eration are cared for to the beet Inter ests of the publlo and to the beat In terests of themselves. "No man can make irood on the out side nnless he has som congenial oc cupation to keep his mind away from crime. We Intend to release no more unless we are absolutely satisfied that they are furnished with such congenial occupation."

Hereafter oleomargarine instead of butter will be used at the Stat Asylum for the Insane.

Tbe oleo can be secured for II cents a pound and butter Is now at practically 40 eenta The maintenance fund I now about 19000 ahead of the appropriation. but Superintendent btelner says radical measures will have to be used to keep out the red figures during the coming year.
