PAROLE SYSTEM
Of CLEVELAND
THINKS PRISONERS SENT UP FOR
PETTY OFFENSES SHOULD BE
RELEASED ON GOOD BEHAVIOR
How PLAN WORKS..

Mayor Thompson Is studying the
parole system In vogue In Cleveland
by which prisoners sent up for petty
offenses are released on good behavior.
At present there is no parole sys-
tenn for such cases, the state pardon
board looking after states prison
cases only. 1t Is probable that new
charter will be secured by Detroit
next year. after the new constitution
is in force. and parole system can be
provided then
The Cleveland system 10 said to
have resulted In much good, the re-
leased prisoners being carefully looked
after by special officer who reports
on their behavior. A break In the
rules causes the offender to be sent
back TO serve out the remainder OF his
sentence. Most Of the men who are
sent to the Cleveland workhouse for
disturbing the peace, drunkenness and
such offences are released on the
promise OF going To work. They must
turn their wages over TO the probation
officer, who sees that the families get
the money.
The percentage OF re-committals OF
paroled prisoners Is very slight.
In one OF Mayor Johnson's meet
ings last fall, man told Johnson that
his reason for opposing him was the
fact that the workhouse had become
charge upon the taxpayers instead OF
being a source OF city revenue" re-
lates Mayor Thompson. johnson ad.
mitted that this was so. Our Idea is
that the workhouse Is not a place 10
make money but TO make men, he re-
piled. 1t costs money TO make men. "
The Detroit house OF correction has
not only local prisoners but also state
and federal prisoners. II parole sys-
TEN were adopted, 1t would probably
be under the direction OF the city
board of inspectors who have the In
stitution In charge.

STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT
MAKES INTERESTING REPORT
ON AFFAIRS OF AMERICAN
HEALTH G. ACCIDENT co.

Careless bookkeeping and a loose
system ofd doing business were testt=
fed to Saturday morning In Judge
Hosmer's court. In the case brought
by the state insurance department
against the American Health q Ac-
cident Insurance Co. OF which +. G..
c. Eyre is president and general man
ager.
The department has asked that a re-
ceiver be appointed for the company.
because OF the failure to file with the
insurance commissioner a report OF
the business done up TO April /. 1908.
The report OF Deputy Commissioner
Rowland, who had examined the books
disclosed the fact that Mr.. Eyre had
overdrawn his salary for several
years, and that he handled the affairs
OF the company more like a personal
business than regularly organized
corporation. In 1902 Mr.. Eyre drew
as salary SASS. In 1903, he drew &c..
637, in 1904. the amount was S7667, !.
In 1905. II was $4,000, In 1906 II drop
ped TO S6.l24, and In 1907 dropped
still further TO S4.S2S. The report also
states that Mr.. Eyre seemed to take
all he thought the finances OF the
company would permit. and when the
company became hard up he would
take money from his own pocket TO
carry things along. Many OF these
transactions did not appear on the
books. The report also mentioned a
Michigan Central bond for $1,000
owned by the company, which was
sold In 1907. but not entered in the
books until 1908
why wasn't the sale OF that bond
mentioned In the books until this
spring." Mr., Eyre was asked.
Negligence. | suppose
What about the interest on the
bond?" NM

Was it?"

''why?"

The court did not seem disposed to
view the situation as serious and the
application for a receiver will prob.
ably be denied.

FERRY FIELD. Ann Arbor. Mich,
May 23.-Central High school Of De-

ate track meet here today, closely
pressed by Detroit University school,
which, in spite Of the absence of
Mills. Tilley and Seymour, kept out
on account OF faculty rulings, put up
a grand fight. Central finished with
a total OF 80 1-2 points to 80 1-2 points
for University school. Lake Forest OF
Chicago ran third but well up with a
total OF q points.
When today's games started Lake
Forest had big lead. due largely to
the fine work OF Alderman In the
weights. Central began to cut that
lead down, however, showing wonder
full work in the runs. Not until Cen
trails team triumphantly carried away
the relay, the final event OF the card,
was the combat decided.
The 100-yard dash was all Detroit,
the Spiegel's OF d. U. S. finishing first
and third, and Widman, little brother
OF the famous Chuck" taking second
for Central. Lake Forest took firsts
in the quarter and half but Smith got
second for Central. in the latter
event. Then Garrels. another junior
