SECRETARY KELLoGG'S BILL
Committee of the Judiciary Gave
 Hearing On It Yesterday.

Committee of the Judiciary Gave
 Hearing On It Yesterday.
 Hartford, Feb 6-The bill providing for the appointment of probation oil cers was presented by Secretary hel- logg of the state board of charities, who explained it's provisions and urged it's passage at a session of the Judlcl- ary committee yesterday.
 Warden Garvan of the state prison was then heard in support of the meas use, which is based on the Massachu- setts law. He said that similar act was working we'll in a number of states. H. H. Spooner of Kensington followed in support of the measure. relating personal instances where the bill would have worked well. Rev H. H. Kelsey of this city was the next speaker, presenting statistics showing the working of the law in Massachu- setts The expense of the system in that state amounted to $70000 per year, but the state considered it mon ey well spent.
 Warren F. Spaulding, secretary of the Massachusetts Prison association, spoke of the practical workings of the law in that state. showing that it's aim was to prevent rather than to punish crime. His explanation covered the operations of the act at length, and he asserted that it worked we'll and de- spite it's cost was the means of saving money for the state. He thought that any state could always afford to keep men out of prison. The proba- ton officers were able to inform the court regarding culprits brought be- fore it and whether they were first off, lenders or confirmed criminals, and whether they were weak or wicked. Chairman Banks asked if all cases were investigated and MT Spaulding replied that owing to the limited num- Der of probation officers only cases of intoxication and similar minor offenses were investigated There were about fifty probation officers and those in the larger towns devoted their whole time to the work, these receiving a salary of $1 200 per year
 s. F. Thrasher, of the State Law and Order league, was heard in favor of the bill. saying that it was for the best interests of the state.
 No one appeared for the bill to re- peal the indeterminate sentence act, though there were several who would have been heard in opposition, includ- ing members of the board of state prison directors
 There was no appearance in favor of the bill to repeal the telephone act if 1899.
