SOCIETY HOLDS KEY TO LIFE OF PAROLED MEN k Woman Expert Says ex-Con-victs Go Straight if Given Fair Chance. TURNING POINT VIEWED By MARGERT REX. Written for the International News Service. NEW YORK, June 17.—Circumstances oftener than vici usneas, is the cause of crime. And good fortune is just as frequently attributable to this strange combination of erents. Men baTe stumbled over rich bits of ore: the t.ell dug for water may spout wealth-bringing oil; the auto that hits a man and injures him may perhaps bring a benefactor who will change his whole life. ; Through an odd series of happenings the Prisoners Relief Society of Washington, I>. C., was brought into being by FI E. Dudding, who had once been a prisoner himself. Recently I heard his history and that of the organization from its secretary, Mrs. S. H. Mclntire, now in New York City. Mrs. Mclntire, who is well informed on the various aspects of criminology, discussed some of them with me. * “Nine out of ten crimes are caused by circumstances,” declares Mrs. Mclntire. “Sometimes these circumstances occur early in the victim's life, tile re-dt of poor home surroundings. Then we call it bad environment. But It's really circumstances. Under the stress of excitement men and women commit crime—for the first time. Maybe a prison sentence follows. RELEASE IS MAN’S TURNING POINT. "Then after rel°ase or parole comes the delicate question of handling the exconvict. That will be the whole turning point of his career. “We claim that society is at fault for the second offender. “The general public must be educated to accept the view that the ex-convict can be made its worthy asset instead of a creature to be shunned and feared. That attitude Is greatly to blame for the | second offenders. Heretofore it has been j “Once a criminal always a criminal.’ All wrong. All that Is needed is a helping i hand. “Give ex-conrlcts a second chance and 90 per cent will make good. “The Prisoners' Relief Society was j started \>j a man who was given a second chance by his employers. But he felt i after awhile that his presence perhaps was embarrassing to them, so he resigned 'of his own free will. “This Is E. E. Dudding, head of our organization. To defend hlmselt In a qnarrel he killed his uncle. He had to go to prison for a short time and, though brief, the term made him an ex-convict “He devoted himself to the convict, and now he Is very successful in helping other men to come back. “The ex-convict is not afraid to tell his tronbles to Mr. Dudding because he knows he Is understood when he learns that his projector was once behind bars himself. , "The paroled prisoner is better off than the released man. because to secure parole : a man must have a job awaiting him ; when freed. "FIRST FRIEND" LOOKS AFTER MAN. “We get the released man a ‘first : friend’ In whatever city he wishes to ! •go to. That means the ’friend’ will get him a Job, and only the employer Is to j know the secret of the prison term. “This means a lot to the convict re- I leased with onl ya cheap suit of clothes j and $5 in his pocket. “Such a man must be rescued or he; will return to Jail as a second offender, I a hardened criminal. “Our society, which aims to do Just j this work of rescue, was founded about j seven years ago. Now many Important ! men and women are back of It. They cooperate in getting Jobs for those brought by circumstance Into crime. We have helped over 50,000. men and women -’both, since our beginning. “Men eligible for parole, or abo"ut to

He feels the world is against him and he is not far from right in his judgment. He finds it hard to deal with people. MR. BIDDING GIVEN MANY REBUFFS. “That was the identical experience of our head. Mr. Dudding. Though bis firm in Chicago, was very willing to take him back, others were not so kind. Ho was made to feel his disgrace by customers and associates, so he has consecrated his life to helping other men. “In Washington alom? we have placed 000 ex-convieta. One man, formerly a safe cracker, is now the trusted and respected cashier of a big corporation. He has gosie straight, and so can anyone who wants to and who geta a little help. “The helping hand is the one thing that will prevent the first offender from going back to prison. That will protect not only the ex-convict, but the public that scorns him. too. “The Prisoners' Relief Society looks after the family of the Imprisoned man while he is In Jail, thereby sustaining their courage and preventing them from getting unfortunate ideaa about the Injustice of thnigs and perhaps committing crime themselves.” To Rule Monday on Peggy’s Appearance CHICAGO, June 17 —Judge Sabath. who Is hearing the demand of Peggy Joyce, pretty Follies girl, for SIO,OOO a month alimony from J.
