THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. RICHMOND, IND FRIDAY, DEC. 17, 1920,

h IN PRISON FACTORY; WORTH IS PROVED By Associated Press) JACKSON, Mich., Dec. 17. "Don't cut the wire or climb the fence. If you want to run away use the gate." This is the sign hung on the fence at the brick and tile factory conducted ry the Michigan State Penitentiary - and that is a constant reminder of the honor system in rogue at the prison. The brick and tile factory Is located 18 miles northwest of th nrisnn anH

f5 "honor men" are employed. There; in no warcnman, uie superintendent and a number of yard foremen being the only "free" men in the Institution. A number of the prisoners are serving life sentences. A railroad runs within 200 yards of the Drison Dronrtv and t-rfieht train stop nearby to take water. Allowed to come and go almost at will but few of , the prisoners have left the property,) aespue tne ideal chances offered for escape. There have been no escapes at the factory for the past four months. A wire fence encloses the property but the gates are left open day and night Govern Themselves. Inmates at the institution virtually govern themselves. About eight months ago, or soon after the factory was put in operation one of the men escaped and later was caught. He was returned to the factory and asked to address a mass meeting of the Inmates. The permission was granted him and he proposed an "honor club" among the prisoners that would serve to enhance the honor system. Members of the club, under its by-laws, were to aid one another In living up to the honor system. The club was - formed and the inmate who escaped j was elected president The club named committees whose function it is to settle disputes among the men and promote good fellowship and understanding between prison officials and inmates. "The sign on the gate appeals to the honor of the men," said Warden Harry L. Hulburt of the prison. "They know we trust them and but few men will violate that trust" QUAKER NET TOSSERS FACE TOOTH PULLERS ' Earlham basket tossers will advance another notch In their season's schedule when they meet the Indiana Dent al college five at the coliseum Friday j night. Although Coach Mowe would made no prediction, dope gives the Quakers a good chance to come out of the contest with the big end of the score. , The Dentals have been defeated In one game this year by Pat Page's warriors from Butler. In this game, however, the Butlerites were able to come out on top only by superior foul pitching for their opponents scored a greater of field goals. The Dental team is composed of veteran material and can be counted upon to put up a stiff scrap. Coach probably will start the game with the same line-up as last Friday night, Carey center; Lawler and Hall forwards, and Johnson and Beck guards. Mowe was well pleased with the. showing made by the team against Antioch but also was able to detect some faults. During the past week he has attempted to smooth out these wrinkles by working with individuals and with the team as a whole. The dentals are expected to show a better system of attack than did the Ohio five last week and are also expected to use the five-man defense. Squad Formation. Among the subs Hadley and Goar have been showing up well and will in all probability be given a chance against the tooth-pullers. The squad will consist of Lawler, Hall, Carey, Beck, Johnson, Goar, Hadley, Townsend, C. Kellum and Eades. The Earlham game is called for 7:30 p. m.. allowing the high school game to start about 8 : 30. General ad-! mission will be 50 cents and reserved seats 75 cents. Seats may be reserved at the Westcott Pharmacy until 6 p- m. ROB WARSAW tEGATION WARSAW, Dec. 17. It was learned today that the American legation here was robbed Monday night of approximately 3,000,000 marks, or about $5,000 and several valuable documents. Chests and safes in a large room on the second floor of the old palace occupied by the legation were broken open. The stolen money belonged chiefly to the American government, but various attaches of the legation also lost some money. Quite a few do not agree with Burleson, who says his "postal administration has been one of continuous and permanent progress and improvement. Since 1860
