THE PAROLE SYSTEM.
Statistics Are Prepared by Secretary
Butler, OF the Charities Board

Amos ". Butler, secretary OF the Board
Of State Charities, who has just returned
from a visit TO the indiana Reformatory,
at JefferSonville, has prepared statistics
howing the working OF the parole system
in the reformatory. The report covers the
period of time from the establishment of
the system. in 1887. until Oct. 81, 1888. The
whole number of men paroled was 400. OF
this number 10 have received a final dis
charge. The terms OF fourteen have ex-
pired, and they no longer report, and four
have died. The number of those who have
been delinquent In making their report 10
the parole board is thirty-one. Those who
have been returned for a violation OF their
parole number ten. and they are still In
confinement. Nine have returned and since
been discharged, while one was returned
and afterward transferred. Five men are
still serving sentences for crimes commit
ted while out on parole. Four were re-
turned and paroled a second time. The to-
tai number of unsatisfactory paroles
amounts to about 10 per cent. OF the whole
number paroled.
The financial statement shows that the
total amount OF wages earned by the men
on parole was SIS. $50. %, and board for 1876
OF the men for 5,552 weeks amounts to
$16.656. making a total of $50. 142. 90. There is
a cash alance on hand of $,2S3.S6. IL costs
the State sll6-11 to keep a prisoner for a
year, and therefore il is stimated that
there has been a saving to the State OF
$27. 900.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.


A large number of Democrats arrived in
the city yesterday morning and repaired TO
the Grand Hotel. where the meeting OF the
State Democratic was in session
for a short time. The visitors spent most
of the morning In gossip over the chances
Of various candidates, both Republican and
Democratic. for the different State off,
ces. 1t was freely admitted that the Dem
ocratic organization was not in nearly as
effective condition as that of the Republi-
cans. and much speculation was INDUCED
in as to who would occupy the place now
held by Parks NJ. Martin. Some held to
the view that Mr.. Martin would be ~re-elec-
ted. but others, who represented strong
Democratic counties, said there was a gen.
eral feeling that Mr.. Martin would not be
reelected because IL was desired to have a
more aggressive mar at the hem Of the
stare organization. InaSmuch as the
selection Of a new chairman will not take
place until after the reorganization Of the
committee, very little was dropped from
one politician to another, which would in
dicate how great the opposition to Mr..
Martin would be, because Ii was not de-
sired TO betray the strength of other men
so far ahead of the time for selecting the
cnairman. Mr.. Martin when asked his
opinion, said he knew of no opposition
10 himself and was sure of reelection.
1t was Originally Intended to hold the
OiStElCt conventions on jackson day
which falls or Jan. s, but as this would
come on Monday. it was felt that il
would not be possible for all the delegates
to reach the different places of meeting in
time, and so the date was fixed for Tues
day, Jan. 8. The committeeman elected at
the different district conventions will meet
In indianapolis on Wednesday OF the week
Following the district meetings and will
then elect a State chairman.
The district meeting will be held I'm the
following places: First district, Peters
burg; second district. Washington; third

The AppOrtionment of for
1906 VIII Give a Smaller Con-
ventiOn than in 1895.
CAUSED BY REDUCTION OF VOTE
PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE PAR
TY ARRIVE IN THE CITY.
Gossip Of the Conditions in the vari-
Gus Districts-P1nns for Reorgan-
fsation to BE Taken Up.

Chairman Charles s. Hernly, of the Re-
publican state central committee, an
nounced last night that the second week
in January will be Organization week for
the committed. and that at that time the
final details of the organization will be per-
fected.
Mr.. Hernly and his clerks have been en-
gagged during the last few days in making
up the apportionment OF the delegates to
the various conventions to be held in the
coming campaign. While the representa-
ton will be smaller In 1900 than in 1898, on
account OF the considerable falling off in
the vote OF both parties, Mr.. Hernly be-
lieves that the coming convention will be
large enough, as the tendency in a great
many States is to reduce the representation
rather than to increase it. In Pennsylva-
MIA, he avs, the representation is only
double the number of representatives and
senator's in the State Legislature. The pre-
vailing opinion seems to be, he says, that
the reorganization of the Republican party
OF the State will take place early in Janu-
airy. The precinct committeeman will prob
ably be elected as early as Jan. 5 or 6, and
the county chairmen about the Sth. This
will make II possible for the district meet
ings TO be held on the 10th, and the reor-
ganization of the state committee will then
take place on the 18th. 1t is the purpose to
complete the entire work of reorganization
In as short a time as possible. The fact
that there will be no opposition to the re-
election of Mr.. Hernly as state chairman
gives promise hat the work will be carried
on tremendously under his direction. To-
day the committee will be in session to fix
the details for perfecting the new organiza-
ton. One Of the duties of the committee
will be the apportionment Of delegates to
the next state convention. Owing to the
heavy slump in the total vote of 1905, as
compared with 1896, the convention will not
be so large. 1t Is customary to compose
the convention of one delegate for each 200
voters and one for each fraction of 100. On
this basis the total number of delegates I'm
1900 will be 1,434, making rs votes necessary
TO a choice.
THE APPORTIONMENT.
The apportionment, according to the Gus
tom. If indorsed by to-day's meeting, will
therefore result as follows:

THE LOST
Mrs. Kate Muller Recognizes n wrap
That Had Been Long Missing.

About one year ago Mrs. Kate Muller,
z5 Walcott street, lost a fur collarette.
Her mother hung II on a line on the porch
and that was the last seen OF it until yes
terday when Mrs. Muller got on an East
Washington-street car to cume down town.
There In the seat opposite her sat a young
woman with the lost collarette. She was
satisfied at first glance that IL was her
property and asked the woman where she
got IL. She replied that she had purchased
IL in Cincinnati, and then Mrs. Muller
asked TO see the lining. MRS. Muller then
claimed ownership. and when they got
down town asked the woman to go with
her TO a wholesale house where her hus-
band worked. Mr. Muller identified the
wrap and the bicycle police were called
for. The woman told them her name was
Alice DUNCAN. living at S23 Daily street.
She told conflicting stories of how she
came to get the wrap and she was taken to
police headquarters and detained for in
v~estigation or the case.

Nicholas FiIbeck Talks of Conditions
and Candidates.

Throughout yesterday afternoon and
night prominent Republicans of the State
kept coming in from all directions, but
the bulk OF them Will not arrive until this
morning.
Nicholas Filbeck. the State committee
man from the Fifth district, said he came
prepared to work for the reelection of
Chairman Hernly. He said the Democrats
i'm his district had one of the strongest or
ganizations I'm the State. but that If the Re-
publicans were not overconfident and sup
ported the ticket as they should, there was
no reason to consider Indiana as being in
the doubtful column in 1900. He said 1t
was generally understood in Vigo county
that there would be two candidates for
the governorship from that district in
the persons Of Senator Hogate, OF DAN
vile, and Representative Barlow. of Plain
field. He said both men had many friends
In the district, as did John l.. Grifiths, of
Indianapolis. Which of these would cap
ture the delegation he was unable to say.
but he felt that either Mr.. Hogate or
Mr.. Barlow would have first call on it.

In THE THIRD DISTRICT.
e. NJ. G. Hobbs Thinks n Republican
May BE Elected to Congress.

E.. NJ. C. Hobbs, who was the candidate
for the nomination for state geologist in
1898, reported that the Third district would
show big gains in the coming election, par
ticularly in the Democratic counties. He
said the party expected to draw so many
votes from Dubois and other Democratic
counties that the Republican nomination
for Congress from that district would be
something more than a joke. He said that
while il would be useless to quote figures,
1t was believed hat by active work the
Republican ticket might overcome the for
mer big Democratic majority in the Third
district and elect Isaac +. Whitesides as a
Republican to the next Congress. He said
that heretofore the question in making
nominations for Congress has not been so
much which good man the party would
choose as which good man it could draft"
for the place.
Mr.. Hobbs said that although the nomi-
nation was far ahead, he had been urged
10 make the race for state geologist in
1902. and that IL he could see his way clear
to the nomination he would allow his name
to go before the convention.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1899-12-13

From the above showing it appears that
there are several changes in the relative
number OF delegates awarded the counties.
For instance. Marion county. which had
1S7 delegates in lseS. will only have 116 in
1900. The next highest number Is Madison
county which has IS. as against AZ last
year; Vanderburgh is mex with So as
against 40 last year. Vigo has IS as against
40. Grant 81 as against 80. Allen 81 as
against AZ. and Delaware 30 as against 81.
Mr.. Hernly said that owing to the fact
hat IL has been customary to allow all
successful candidates for state offices a
second term IL they desired Il. II is unlikely
that there will be any candidates for state
offices except those OF Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. The state geologist,
while holding a four-year office, will not re-
