STATE IS BETTER FEWER TO PRISON

Lynam-Moore Nuptials Solemnized I Charity Board's Report Shows Moral Workhouse Plan Impractical and Penal

Improvement More Paroles This

Year Than Last

Indiana people are growing better. At least a less number of them were sent to penal institutions thie year than last.

As shown by the annual report of the state board of charities, now being prepared for submission to the governor, there were 153 fewer men and women and fifty-nine fewer boys and girls committed in 1910 than in 1909. The number of new commitments to the two prisons and the reformatory for the fiscal year was 773, as against 926 for the preceding twelve months. A total of 375 boys and girls were confined this year, as against 434 last year.

Compared with the preceding year all the state, eleemosynary institutions show an increase in average population excepting the Central hospital for the insane, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' home, the school for the deaf, the state prison and reformatory. A greater number of prisoners were paroled from the two latter institutions than during the preceding year, cutting down the average attendance by 229.

Miss S. Ethel Clark, inspector of the license department of the state board of charities, reports to Secretary Amos W. Butler that the results obtained by authorizing the board to revise the work of institutions caring for children has been highly beneficial.

URGE PENAL Fi TOR JAIL INMATES

Farms May Meet Troubling Con­

dition in Many States.

Since the workhouse plan for county prisoners has been delared impractical, anew one, known as district penal farms has been suggested and is meeting with much favor from the State Board of Charities as well as city commercial clubs.

These clubs, led by the Richmond Commercial Club officers, will recommend to the legislature, that district penal farms for the employment of county prisoners, be established over the State. It will be suggested that the State be divided into about six districts with a farm of from 1,000 to 2,000 acres in each. The State Board of Charities seems to be in accord with the plan as suggested.

Mr. Butler, of the association, is heartily in favor of the district penal farms, believing that they will meet a condition that is troubling all the states in the union. In no state, it is claimed, is there satisfactory provision for working the county prisoners and this is because the persons sent to such institutions go for only a short time. Massachusetts is using a penal farm system with success in a few districts.
