Warden Wolfer attended the
Prison congress at Denver, and
read a paper on ''The Parole
System in Penitentiaries.' The
warden Of the Minnesota peniten-
tiary is one of the best officials in
the country, and the Saltwater
institution is as we'll managed as
any in the world. The parole
system has been in operation in
the St. Cloud reformatory ever
since the institution was founded
and the plan was adopted for pen
ltentiary inmates two years ago.
1t is found to work well, and GER
tainly aids the unfortunates in
starting on a better life. The
paroled convict is released, several
months before his term expires,
with the provision that he will
obey the rules the prison man.
ayers prescribe. He IS found en-
ployment by the ragent Of the
prison board, and if he is indus
trious, sober and honest he finds
many friends to help him, as the
prison authorities make it a point
to enlist the assistance Of men in
al parts of the state. There are
many cases where the parole sys.
tenn has resulted in directing men
into honest paths of life, and per.
haps remove them from the
criminal ranks. If the conditions
of the parole are violated before
its termination the man is re.
turned to prison and has to serv
out his term. There is every in.
centive for the pafoled man to lead
a good life.

"a Tramp Falls off the
Brake Rods Of a Passen-
ger Coach and is @
Seriously In
jured. r.
The Victims Name is
James McIlvaney,
aged %, From
Mendoza, y
TIL l..~,.s. =

Another terrible accident occurred
Saturday at the Northern Pacific
depot about O'Clock. to a tramp
stealing a ride. The victim is a man
who gives the name OF James Nell
vaney, aged % years, and CLAIMS his
home to be at Mendoza, Ill. Hewas
riding the brake rods Of one of the
coaches on passenger train No. 8
east bound, which arrived at the
station about O'Clock this morning,
nearly two hours behind time. Nc
Ilvaney claims he got on the rods at
Fargo and rode all the way here. He
is not able to give a full account of
the accident, and how he came to
fall off, but stated that he thinks he
must have gone to sleep after the
train left Staples and rem aimed asleep
until it left the station here.
when the jerk of the train starting
knocked him off. The track shows
he was dragged about 200 yards
having fallen off above the depot,
near the spot where the other victim
OF similar accident several months
ago was found. and dragged almost
to the switch below the depot.
The unfortunate man was dis
covered by Rev. Geo. R Searles, pas
tor Of the Congregational church at
Willard, who got off the same train,
enrOute from Aitkin to his home.
He heard his cries as the train was
moving out and followed the train
down and discovered him just as the
last car passed over him. He inform
ed the depot employees OF the acct
dent, who Immediately summoned
the coroner and a conveyance and
the injured man was taken to st.
Gabriel's hospital.
Drs. Trace and Roberts made as
thorough an examination as was
possible. owing to the mans cond-i
ton, as he is suffering terribly
from the shock, and they are
of I. the opinion that he can
not survive. His wounds could not
be attended to, for to administer an
anaesthetic in his exhausted condi-
tion, would almost certainly provefa-
tai. The injuries discovered are not
necessarily fatal. His left leg is broken
above the knee and his left hip dislo-
Gated. He also sustained severe
scalp wounds and two fingers are
cut off his right hand. What the doc
tors most fear is the shock and that
he is injured internally. The latter
is very probable, as he was rolled
and dragged such a great distance,
and is now only able to lie in one
position. All that could be done at
that time for the suffering man was
to administer stimulants and await
the results OF the shock, which if sur
vived, his chances of life may be
good.
The injured man also stated to the
doctors this morning that he had
been employed on a farm near Fargo
and had in his possession a check for
1928, which he could not get cashed
until he reached st. Paul. He was
on his way home.
LATER-The injured man did not
rally from the shock and died few
minutes before o'clock this after
noon. Furtherexaminat ton showed
that both legs were broken and his
skull fractured. Coroner Trace tele-
graphed to the deceased's father ct
Mendoza, but has not yet received
g. reply.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-There |
is a great deal of comment in |
this city on Secretary Carlisle's |
sound money campaign in Ken |
lucky and Tennessee. 1t IS re-
garded probable here that he is
a candidate for the senatorship
in Kentucky and proposes to
fight it out on a sound money
platform. 1t is over a year
when change of administra.
tion will leave him without an

baby WELD more influence than
he does as secretary of the
treasury. At any rate, it is a
soft berth to fall into when his
present position ceases to exist.

Crime i'm this Country.

Wis SOaihshy y
A recent census report contains
many interesting facts in regard
to crime and its supposed causes
in this country. The statistics
presented are worthy ofstudy, but
there is little in them to warrant
the building up Of any theory up
on the subject. In the South At
lantic States, the division in which
education is least general, the per-
centage Of criminals is II per cent
Of the population, which is the
per cent Of the whole country.
But this includes both races. II
we limit our inquiries to the whites
alone it will be found that in the
South Atlantic States there were
only 2S4 white murderers to the
million in 1890, while in the
North Atlantic States there were
963 to the million. five take all
the prisoners or convicts in these
two sections the ratio Of convicts
In the North Atlantic States to the
million is only 1872, and in the
South Atlantic States 730. Now
this includes the two races, and
even the South makes the better
showing in the face Of the fact
that two-thirds Of her convicts are
negroes.
In Louisiana 45.s per cent. Of
the population are illiterate, but
the propcttion Of criminals is the
same as in the North Atlantic
States, where the number who
cannot read and write Is only one
eighth as large. Nebraska with
less illiteracy than any other
State also has less crime, but Kan
as has larger percentage Of
crime than any other State, and
vet its illiterates are only slightly
more numerous than those Of
Nebraska. In South Carolina Al
N every 100 cannot read and
write, but the percentage ofcrim,
is smaller than in the country a
large.
Intemperance, according 70 th,
census, i BY no means the chic
cause Of crime, for in the prison
/ viii be found that more Of th
conyicts were total abstaines thai
drunkards at the time Of their Al
rest. What effect total prohibi
tioa would have upon crime
unknown, because the experiment
lin Maine and other prohibition
States have never been fairly su,
cessful.
Nor can it'be said that crime
mainly due TO idlcness. The cer
sus reports shows that Of the pc
sons in sur prisons in 1890 Owe
50 per cent were engaged j
work when arrested, and IS n
cent. Of them were engaged in 0,
cupations requiring learning z
skill. Tbs proportion Of convict
who have received an academic {
college education is about u
same Us il is among the san
number Of persons who have ne
or been convicted Of crime.
But Il Is unnecessary TO pursr
the question. II Is enough
know that according 70 these 3
Iicial figures the percentage
crime is much smaller in d
South than II is in the North
eastern States, and that IL v
eliminate the blacks the Southei
criminal percentage is reduced
a very small ratio.
