STATE REFORMATORY

Almost Swamped With Orders for Supplies Fromi State Institutions. In a letter to Governor Marsfttell, Major D. C. Peyton, superintendent of the state reformatory, at Jeffersonville, has set out that three days following a recently published statement from the Governor that the va* - ious other state instiutions should purchase supplies manufactured in the reformatory whenever practicable, he has been almost swamped with institution orders. “If these orders keep up in the way tihley have started,” he wrote, "the question of contract labor at the reformatory will be a question no longer. We now ha\y all we can do and could use many of the men -now let out under contract. If the institutions keep up their orders, it would be inadvisable to renew any of the labor contracts we now halve, as all our men can be kept“*busy on this work.”
