The newly elected trustees OF the

in few days to elect a secretary to

prominent insurance m of this city,
was also mentioned yesterday, but he
stated last night that he was not
seeking the place. 1t is reported that
several of the trustees favor tender
ing the place to Mr., Bloom.
1t is most likely that the trustees
will fill tAe position without much
further delay, as it is absolutely ne
ceSsary that the secretary take hold
of the new organizat on and push its
campaign. Just when
President Hearn will issue call for

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 11.-Discussing
before the American prison congress
the case Of innocent dependents of
criminals, William H. venn, of De-
troit, parole officer of the state OF
Michigan, urged the abandonment of
the contract prison labor system.
In the state of Michigan the con
tract system is doomed" said Mr..
Venn. Its expiring gasp having been
slated by legislative enactment. Ia
most, if not all, other states it is held
in disrepute. especially among the
ranks of free toilers, whether organ
lied Or unorganized. When the state
the prisoner or his family receives the
profit from prison labor, and not some
contracting firm which pays to the
state the paltry sum of from IS TO Is
cents per day for the toll Of its wards.
the mouth of the objector is silenced.
Mr.. Venn outlined the compensation
plan operated in the Detroit house of
correction, which he said had me.
With general commentator.
Michigan may we'll be proud of one
Of it's penal institutions which is no;
orly self-sustaining," Mr.. venn con-
tinued, "but which has in vogue CO.
operative plan Of payment to all pris-
oners confined within it's walls for
periods of thirty days or over. This
IS the Detroit house of correction
which occupies the unique position
among not only the prisons of Michi-
gan, but of America as we'll, if not of
the world.
July 6, 1911, the Detroit souse OF
correction passed its fiftieth mile
stone. During the last 80 years over
81 100000 in profits We're turned over
to the city of Detroit, the families OF
I.tisoners and to the prisoners them
selves. Since 1880 the city of Detroit
has annually received sums ranging
from $9,016.S3 to $52,711.64. The orig
inal expenditure by the city of $780,
S41.36 has been turned back into the
treasury of the municipality, the in
stitution has paid its own way, and in
in the fifty years shown fine bal
ance of 81 254. 17S.15. In addition to
this showing. since July, 1901, the
prisoners have been receiving finan-
elal benefits ranging from $5,959.14 to
$9,670.SS annually.
In addition to amounts paid to
prisoners, some of which is sent by
the men to their families, provision is
also made for the families of those
who are imprisoned On the charge OF
abandonment. This is accomplished
under a statute which provides th a

, We should hesitate to accept the low
class of emigrants from foreign and
other nations without the care and

the country. More than one genera

most favorable conditions, social and
