PIREs AUGUST 1 AT MAR
ouETTE AND STATE MAY
BUY EQUIPMENT.

Marquette, Mich, April 7.-As a re-
suit of a conference between Ira Car
! ley, Of ingalls,, w II. Johnston, of Ish-
peming members OF the board of con-
troll of the Marquette prison, e. A.
Thornton, of Chicago, president of the
Marquette Box & Lumber company,
which holds a contract at the prison,
and Warden Russell there is "a strong
probability that after August / the box
factory at the prison will be worked
on state account.
Warden Russell a few weeks ago
served notice on the officers of the
BOX & Lumber company that he would
move for the cancellation of their con-
tract, because they had failed to fulfill
its terms by keeping the number Of
men contracted for busy at all times.
In response to this notification. Mr..
Thornton attended the meeting Of the
board of control here wednesday. and
the matter was gone into thoroughly.
The company's contract expires
August 1. when the box factory will
have been operated for five years, but
the company has the option of extend
ing it for an additional five years. It
lis improbable. however. that il will
try to exercise that option. The mem
bors OF the board of control and the
warden outlined to Mr.. Thornton We'd
nesday the feeling that exists i'm the
legislature against the continuance Of
the contracts in the prisons. and ad-
vised him to make a deal with the
state if possible for the sale of the
equipment of machinery. and surren-
der the option for renewal Of the
contract
A Deal Outlined.
Mr.. Thornton was convinced. after
the matter had been gone into thor
oughly, that this would be the wisest
thing TO do if he could make salts
factory sale. II was agreed between
him and the board OF control that in
the event the legislature authorizes
the deal the plant shall be valued by a
board OF experts. one of which shall be
appointed by the board and one by the
company. the third member 10 be some
disinterested man chosen by the other

The board of control instructed War

and they left for there yesterday ar

Were introduced Early.
The executive ideas were expressed
in a series of more than thirty bills
and these all were introduced promptly
at almost the beginning of the ses-
sion. Governor Osborn intended there
should be no opportunity to evade
responsibility by the cry of delay in
the introduction of his measures. He
anticipated some such trouble as now
faces the legislators in the stress Of
business and volume of waiting work.
His bills were in in time for action.
And he will point out to the two
houses, it is said. that the people
have demanded a great majority of
the reforms provided for i'm the ad-
ministration measures and he does not
intend TO be held responsible for the
failure of the legislature to do It's duty

people at home.

framed as to make It plain TO the law
