Prison Inmates May be "Promoted?' to Cottage Outside Prison Walls

SPRINGFIELD, III., Feb. 11. A plan whereby prisoners at Joriet penitentiary, by gaining merit, may be promoted from a guarded cell to residence in a cottage outside the walls, is announced by John L. Whitman, state superintendent of prisoners. He believes that many inmates of penal institutions rc capable of reclamation. The plan, as outlined tentatively by Mr. 'Whitman, will make it possible for the man who finds himself behind bars to benefit by application to his tasks and by showing himself trustworthy . No radical change is contemplated, it is announced, while the present prison equipment Is in use, the idea being to inaugurate the scheme when the Lew Joliet plant, located on a 2,000 acre tract near the old, is ready for occupancy. Progress is now being made, it is said, toward the completion of the new institution. In the life of every prisoner four stages will be possible, under the conttmplated plan, as follows: First. Confinement in a cell and without privileges. Second. Confinement in a ceU but v.ith certain privileges earned by good conduct. Third. Residence in a cottage outs'.de the prison wall with supervision lessened. Fourth. Residence on the prison honor farm with larger liberties and greater freedom. Must Demonstrate Title. It is hoped to rearrange the present Illinois system of parole so that every person who seeks to be paroled shall have demonstrated his title to such action before a petition will be acceptable. "When a prisoner goes in, under the new plan, he will be placed in class one without privileges," said Mr. Whitman. "Unless he shows qualities that entitle him to more freedom of action he will remain there. If, however, he gives evidence of a desire to do right, fulfill his duty as it is indicated to him end better his condition, he will be aided in every' way by the authorities." It is the intention to make a careful study of every man entering the prison. His record will be at hand. In addition he will be given a physical examination. A psycholoigst will observe his mental qualities, his tendencies and hi3 weaknesses. He will be allowed to state his preference as to employment, and tasks adapted to his abilities will be chosen for him. In short, there will be a systematic effort to learn everything possible about every inmate of the institution. Promotion will be on the basis of merits, and ii will not be impossible, Mr. Whitman stated, for bad conduct, to cause demotion. For several years prisoners have

been working on the honor farm with little restraint and few safeguards against escape. Under the scheme contemplated, according to Mr. Whitman, there will be less likelihood of desertion because the men reaching this stage will have been carefully tested as to their reliability and worthiness. The cottaga idea of housing trusted prisoners is new in Illinois. It is planted to build the cottages substantially and to have rom a dozen to twenty men live in each. Mr. Whitman hopes thus to teach convicts the art of living together and observing the ethics of society. The grounds will be policed aa are the streets of any village, but whether there is to be a system of selfgovernment in the village has not been determined. All in the village will be assigned to some sort of work as usual.

INDIANA'S SEED CORN IS AMPLE

LAFAYETTE. Ind., Feb. 11. Indiana will be able to supply the seed corn needs of all farmers within the state, indicate reports received yesterday and today on the" seed stocks and labor survey, which is well under way or complete in every county. This announcement was made today by C. Henry, state leader in charge of the Avork. Actual figures can not be obtained for several days, until word is in from, every county. " However, many counties are almost without seed corn and they will have to be supplied by those which have a surplus. The value of the survey will he revealed as the exchange system, extending from the United States Department of Agriculture, through Purdue University to every county in the state, is established. As soon as all reports are in arrangements will be made to shift the seed at once. Much. 1916 Seed Corn Left. Advices of men who have been working in the state under the direction of the extension department '6f Purdue, locating quantities of corn suitable for seed, indicate there is enough corn left from the 1916 crop to plant half of the acreage this year. C. E. Trover, one of the field men and an expert seedsman, who has been in every section of the state the last two or three weeks,' stimated that enough corn which will show a germination test of 90 to 100 per cent is 'on hand to plant a terth of the crop this spring. Seed for the remaining' forty per cent of the acreage will have to be obtained by individual ear test of the corn that has been saved by farmers throughout the state. A large amount of this will show 50 per cent germination, some of it-higher and some lower. The seed that will grow must be chosen from this only after the test has been made. This method is necessary to insure a good stand of corn this coming season when a bumper cmn is more necessary than ever.
