LANSING. Mich, Oct. 2.-Statements
sent out to the press last night relative
to the Marquette prison are SO worded
as to be ridiculous. 1t is gwen out that
the new penal board may abolish that
institution, transferring its convicts to
the prison at Jackson, where there is
still plenty of room. The board, al
though invested with large powers, is
not yet q bigger body than the State
legislature, and could rot, OF course,
repeal legislative enactments. A cor
rect statement of the case is that Gov.
Wlnans has an impression that the
prison at Marquette was prematurely
established ana is maintained i'll de-
fiance of q policy of true State econ
omy. He and the board will thor
oughly investigate the subject and
make such recommendations to the
next legislature as they discover may
seem TO warrant. Another thing to
which the Governor and the new GEN.
trail Board of Control of State institu-
lions will look into the Office Of State
age, created in connection with the
State Public School at Coldwater.
There are no duties attached TO the
place which they think the county
agents of the Board of Corrections and
Charities cannot discharge with better
results than he, and the Office may be
LEI without an Incumbent Dy the new
board and his salary saved to the State.
