MAN

PRISONERS

VIOLATE PAROLES

Out of Every 100 Paroled Only 57 Fulfil Obligations.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 19. Out of very one hundred prisoners paroled under the Indiana indeterminate sentence law from the three state penal Institutions, fifty-seven fulfill their parole obligations, twenty-six violate their paroles, two die, six are automatically discharged through expiration of sentence, and the other nine are under supervision at a given time, according to statistics just made public by the state board of charities, and covering the sixteen years since the law was enacted. The indeterminate sentence fixes the minimum and maximum terms of imprisonment prescribed by the statute for prescribed crimes, and the parole boards of the state Institutions are given a wide latitude in granting paroles and in withdrawing paroled prisoners from liberty. At the state prison approximately 26 per cent are parole prisoners; at the reformatory 15 per cent, and at the woman's prison 28 per cent are paroled. An immense saving of expense is

accomplished through the paroling of

prisoners who Immediately become self-supporting, whereas the average cost of keeping a person in prison is $172 per year. A striking feature of the report shows that the percentage of women

who violate their paroles is practical

ly the same as in the case of men. Paroled prisoners are entitled to retain all their earnings for their own use while at liberty.

Corner of Main and Sixth Street Still Called "Farmers Exchange"

Old Market Corner At One Time Was the Center of Business Activity in the Village of Richmond.

Have you ever noticed the number of farmers who have their headquarters at the corner of Sixth and Main streets, who fill the public hitch rack3 with their teams and who cause the merchants in that vicinity no excuse for complaining that business is dull? This is one of the busiest corners on every Saturday afternoon. Farmers bring butter, eggs, chickens and other produce for disposal to the dealers and in turn take their pay, in a great many cases, in trade for groceries and other necessities. Much opposition was raised by the city officials to the farmers hitching their horses at this corner as it was said that it caused much congestion of traffic for the wagons and buggies extended fully a third of the way across the street, but it seems that the objections have been overcome. Old Market Center. This has been the old market corner and the center of business activity since the first settler came here for the purpose of establishing a trading post. It is used to be a general commodity exchange and here the settlers would bring their surplus produce and barter for an article of which they did not have a plentiful supply. In the early days of Richmond, what is now South Sixth street, was known then as Marion Btreet and the farmers would bring their loads of wood to town for disposal and the line of wagons of wood sometimes extend south as far as where South A street is now. The sticks of wood were cut in lengths

of four feet and the cords usually were measured, before sold, by some person of authority who received 10 cents per cord for measuring. On marketing days or when all business was transacted, the settlers would often stand around and tell all the latest happenings, no matter how trivial, for news in those days was a luxury as there were no newspapers and circulation of events went very slowly. Every scrap of gossip was eagerly listened to and the farmer in turn carried it back to his family. Many Fights. Often disputes would arise and would end up in fistic encounters when the marshal would then have the pleasure of showing his authority by taking the peace disturbers in custody. As the trading post grew to a town and that in turn to a city, new business houses were established farther east, drawing many farmers away from the old corner but with the grocery, dry goods, drug and department stores, along with the market house and numerous livery barns, located near at hand, many farmers still do their trading there and it has been termed the "Farmer's Exchange."
