WILL DISCUSS
SEW PENOLOGY
Subject as Related to High
Cost of Living Before Ameri
can Academy Political and
Social Science.
New York. —Included in the annals
ot the American Academy of Political
and Social Science, which were made
public here today, was an earnest
plea for the abolition of the convict la
bor system; substituting a system of
prison production for governmental
consumption only; and the applica
tion of the prisoners’ earning to the
support of their dependent families.
This new penology was originally
advanced by an organization devoted
to the study of prison conditions, and
was later adopted as a plank in one
of the great political parties. It
espousal by the American Academy of
Political and Social Science places it
before the delegates to the coming
convention of that body in Philadel
phia April 4-6 as one of the vital sub
jects which will be discussed during
the academy’s investigation of the
high-cost-of-living. 0
The Academy’s advocacy of these
new rnles of prison regulation is fur
ther set forth as follows:
Pardoning Power,
"One of the most objectionable
points of our present prison system is
the pardoning power. The general
argument is that a governor has too
many important matters as the exe
cutive of the state to enable him to do
full Justice to the petitions for par
dons and commutation of sentences.
Fundamentally the matter is much
more serious than the incursion upoh
the governor's time. The sense of
Justice of any community is very keen
and not by any means always In pro
portion to the facts. Particularly sen
sitive are the people, to the apparent
abuse of the pardoning power. The
board of pardons should be delibera
tive and not hasty in its action. It
would be subject to criticism and
scrutiny of the people of the state
from the standpoint only of this as its
sole foundation. Such a pardoning
board should be non-political, and
composed of men of high integrity and
sound Judgment.
Convict Employ.
"Then comes the question as to how
best to employ the convicts. Un
doubtedly the convict contract labor
system should be abolished and the
prisoners should be set to work to
produce articles solely for govern
mental consumption. Farming and
outdoor life wherever possible are of
course advisable throughout the
country.
“Prisoners should receive a reason
able amount for their work and should
meet their own maintenance cost out
of their labor. Over and above their
maintenance Cost, (maintenance in
cluding all expenses attendant upon
‘running an s institution or convict farm
such as salaries, wages, food, cloth
ing, lodging, but not large improve
ments such as additional buildings,
etc.,) the surplus should be used for
the prisoner or for his dependent rela
tives.
"At present when a man has served
his term in prison he is simply turn
ed out into the world, with his prison
record barring him from honest em
ployment and often times forcing
him again into crime in order that he
may live. It is highly desirable that
some plan for properly handling the
•discharged convict situation should be
adopted.”
ID TRY DARROW
THE THIRD TIME
Last One Lasting Over Two
Months Resulted In Disagree
ment. Cost Has Been Heavy.
Loa Angelei. —This Is the third
time Darrow has been placed on trial
In Los Angeles, since his defence of
the McNamara brothers, who pleaded
guilty to charge of blowing up the
Los Angeles Times building.
The result of Darrow’s first trial
was acquittal. That verdict was fol
lowed by an outburst of approval by
the spectators in the court room,
Judge Hutton himself Joining in the
Congratulations of the famous Chi
cago lawyer. But Darrow was prompt
ly re-arrested on another count—the
bribing at a McNamara Juror by the
name of Bain.
The second trial lasted over two
months, resulting In a disagreement
The jury, out over thirty-eight hours,
stood eight for conviction and four for
acquittal.
Mr. Darrow demanded an imme
diate new trial. He wanted at once
he said, to clear his name. This was
on March 8. Judge Conley set the
date for the new trial and Darrow was
admitted to SIO,OOO ball, the bond hav
ing been deposited for him when tine
Indictment was returned against him
in 1911.
It is estimated that the two trials
of Darrow hate cost the county of
Los Angeles $40,000 and Darrow $25,-
000.
DIU HIM CHIDES
WIFE II1910; SHOT
Geo. McCord, With Mrs. Noble
Puts Three Bullets In Hus
band Sunday.
Dublin, Ga. —Dave Nobles, of this
city, was shot three times Sunday af
ternoon in an affray caused by the
attentions of George McCord, to
Noble's wife, who was present at the
time the shooting took place.
Nobles and his wife have been sep
arated for some time, and she is at
present suing him for divorce. He
had been much wrought up over the
matter, and Sunday afternoon saw
his wife with McCord and several
others leave the city in an auto. He
hired a car and followed them, meet
ing them about two miles from Dub
lin, near the Oconee cotton mills.
Nobles told the man driving his car
to stop. He then jumped out on the
ground, waving his pistol at the car
containing his wife and McCord. The
car was stopped, and both Nobles and
McCord began shooting, which one
shooting first is not known.
McCord was not hit, but Nobles
was hit three times, one shot enter
ing his hand another his shoulder and
a third going near his groin. He is
not seriously wounded, however. No
one in the car with McCord did any
shooting but him, and the party im
mediately went back toward the coun
try, leaving Nobles and his driver in
the road. Up to a late hour they
had not been heard from and no one
seems to know where they went. Be
sides McCord and Mrs. Nobles, Dr. N.
L. Bradshaw, a veterinary and his
sister-in-law, Miss Russell, both of
Dublin, were in the car.
Nobles was brought to the city and
given medical attention. He has ev
ery chance to get well, as his wounds
are not as serious as at first thought.
He has been greatly worried ovec
the trouble between himself and his
wife and is said to love her to dis
traction, while she seems to care
little about him and haß narrowly
missed having trouble before.
