BR|BE TO
COLBY TO QUASH
! CR|Bb|NG CHARGES
Applicant Who Had Notes Dur
ing Civil Service Test Wanted
Him "to Fix Things"

A public statement is expected from
the Civil Service Commission at its
meeting tomorrow In regard to the at
tempted bribery of Chief Examiner
Gardner Colby by one of the competi-
tors in an examination held recently
in Jersey City, who offered the ex-
aminer $500 to fix things" when Mr..
Colby had caught him "%cribbing." The
facts have been laid before Attorney
General Wilson, but no prosecution Is
likely, as he states that the case is
not strong enough and conviction
would be improbable.
According to the statement made
yesterday by Mr.. Colby the man asked
to be allowed to go out during the ex-
animation. When the papers were
turned in 1t was discovered that he
had notes written on scratch paper.
Mr.. Colby said that the man declared
he was very anxious to get on the
eligible list and offered the 5000 to
have his papers considered with the
rest.
There is no provision in the law
under which the man may be prose-
cuted for 'tcribbing,' although it is
possible to take action against the per-
son who furnished the information.

PENNSYLVANIA HAS
PAROLE LAW THAT
RELLSTAB URGED
Statute Provides for the Lib
Grafton of Prisoners Pend
ing Good Behavior.
Especial to the Evening start


TRENTON, May Ex-Governor Stuart,
of Pennsylvania, has signed the Tustin
parole and probation bill, which passed
the last Legislature there recently, en-
bodying the views advanced by Judge
Rellstab, of this city, who is anxious
to have similar legislation enacted here.
The new law provides that persons con-
victed of crime other than murder, ad-
ministering # poison, kidnapping and
other crimes of violence, may be re-
leased by the courts on probation sub
ject to the supervision of a probation
officer, and if they have been fined, the
money may be paid in installments
The probation period shall not be longer
or shorter than the maximum imprison-
ment provided by law for the offense
involved.
Under the new law indeterminate
shall be given to p~enitentiary
prisoners, the court naming a maxi
mum and a minimum penalty. At the
end of the minimum time the governor,
on the recommendation of the board
of inspectors, may direct the release on
parole of the prisoner.
This system is being tried not only
throughout the United States, but In
New Zealand, where it has worked sue
cessfully. In 1907 1t was found that all
but sixteen States had some sort of a
probation system. and that the plan had
the highest hopes of Its pro-
moters. In Massachusetts 1t was found
that the method was also a financial
success.

KANGAROOS AS PETS.

For some time past there has been
a great desire to be original in ones
pets.
Dogs and cats are as popular as
ever, of course, but people have taken
a fancy to other animals as well, liz
ards, prairie dogs and wen rarer ami
mails such as emus and young alliga-
tors.
And now the kangaroo craze has
taken hold, ever since the beautiful
Countess of Warwick started 1t. She
has a very fine specimen at Warwick
Castle.
Any one who has a little pasture
land available car keep a kangaroo,
and it will be found both gentle and
teachable. Some years ago we heard
a good deal about h boxing kan
CARGO, and people thought then the
kangaroo was difficult to train, but 1t
really is as easy to train as a dog, after
1t gets over it's shyness.

CHICAGO, May 24.-Richard +.
Crane, multi millionaire, like Robert
Louis Stevenson, author, believes more
n.en are spoiled than made by college
educations. The multi-millionaire, who
spent his early life in labor, having
little time for study" feels much more
strongly on the subject h the
famous graduate of the University of
Edinburgh, for he favors putting the
torch to the universities supported
wholly or partly by the various States.
The occasion for this latest express
sion of the views of Mr.. Crane, who
made his millions in building elevators,
is that members of the Legislature
asked his advice on the question of In
c.easing the appropriation for the Uni
versity of Illinois. The university was
organized in 1867. This years appro-
priation was $2,S 0 900. For fifteen years
the appropriations ave averaged ST.
600, 00o.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Crane
says;
'sTnstead of teaching young men to
seek labor they cause them to despise
it. and the students leave the schools
with the feeling that they are too good
to work and are smart enough to make
their living By their wits. Instead of
-alpropriating funds for such institu-
lions it would be a good deal better for
the State to put a torch to them and
burn them down."
