BEACH CLAIMS
HE'S INNOCENT
FORMER PUBLISHER SAYS FRAUD
/, CHARGED TO HIM WAS COM.
MITTED BY EMPLoYE.

Elmer II. Beach, formerly president
of the Business Mems Publishing Co.,
and who was arraigned Thursday aft
ernoon before Judge Swan on a charge
of fraudulent. use OF the mails. has as
mis- defense that the actions COM
planned OF in the indictment against
him were committed by an employee.
Beach was at the head OF the Bust
.ness Mems Magazine and the frauds
iare said TO have occurred in connec-
tion with a scheme for increasing the
circulation of that publication. An
automobile was offered as a prize for
khe greatest number OF new subscrip-
tions. II Is alleged that n check was
sent in for 1000 subscriptions by one
person and that In this way the per-
son who gave the check got a $4,000
auto for $1,000 while the legitimate
winner got nothing
The claim Is set up that the man
ngement OF the magazine was aware
>of this method Of winning the prize
hnd did not discourage It. In fact, II
II alleged that the check on one oc-
1casion was received from the winner
beveral days after the contest closed.
( Mr.. Beach retired from the presi-
dency OF the company very recently,
being succeeded by A. w. Knapp.
The offense, IL there was any, was
mot committed by Mr.. Beach, and the
latter WAS only aware in a general
yway OF the employees acts" declares
John w. Beaumont. attorney for Mr..
Beach. "The charge is purely tech
fncal one and | do not expect to see
,enything come OF it,"

N AYOR STUDYIN c
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
ohenses are released on good behavior
At present there is no parole sys-
TEN for such cases, the state pardon
board looking after states prison
cases only. II is probable that new
charter will be secured by Detroit
next year. after the new constitution
is in force. and asparole system can be
provided then.
The Cleveland system is said to
have resulted in much good. the re-
leased prisoners being carefully looked
after by a 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 10 the Cleveland workhouse for
disturbing the peace. drunkenness and
such offences are released on The
promise or going TO work. They must
turn their wages over TO the probation
officer, who sees that the families get
the money.
The percentage or re-committals Of
paroled prisoners is very slight.
In one Of Mayor Johnson's meet
ings last fall a man told Johnson that
his reason fer opposing him was the
fact that the workhouse had become
a 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 to
make money but to make men, he re-

not only local prisoners but also state

be under the direction OF the city
