GOVERNOR DECLARES KELLER WILL GO TO - WORK IN MORNING (Continued From Page One.) time no provision of the law authoriz ing the appointment of a parole of ficer for this institution, a$d also as the act of the last legislature provid ing for such officer seems to be vague as to from what source the appoint ment of such officer is to be made, I -would request to be relieved from making the appointment at this time of such, officer as requested by bis honor, the governor, at your last meet ing, at which time my resignation was accepted. I would request that such appointment be postponed until the date my resignation takes effect. May 1, 1915. - "I believe that the new law provid ing for a parole officer provides that . ne snail live at the penitentiary and J shall be provied with quarters here. iciiuchicu uy u majority or tne state-board of control, I have today appointed Frank Davey. to succeed Tom U. Wilson, bookeeper at this institu tion at a salary of 125 a month, and have increased the duties of J. S. Mur ray, stenographer, by adding the Ber tillion work and allowing him the $15 per month allowed for this work. These arrangements apply during the balance f my term here. "It .has been suggested that Mr. Davey will be allowed the use of the residence occupied by Mr. Wilson.' In asmuch, as it will soon be up to the new. warden to arrange quarters for the new deputy warden and parole of ficer. I would request thaU.no as signment of these cottages be made at the present time, as the law, does not provide for the bookkeeper, and any arrangement I might make at be present time might tend to handi cap, the incoming administration. "My deputy warden is at the pres ent time occupying these quarters, and the quarters are really very cramped for two families, unless repairs and additions are made, therefore my re quest that no assignment be made at this time." - TO CVJtX A COLS tX OHZ OAT Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets.
