Prisoners Are To Be Placed
On Their Honor
And To Be 10 Charge Of
Only One Guard
First Effort Of State To Try
Out Honor System

Several weeks ago The Banner an
nounced on the authority of President
Allen w. Thurman of the state board
of administration tnat it was the in
tention of the board to send squad
of prisoners from the penitentiary to
the state sanatorium, east of this city,
to work on the grounds, to put them in
proper shape, and to improve the
driveways and walks on the premises.
President Thurman also suggested that
1t could easily be arranged to have
the services of prisoners in the re-
building of the road leading from the
state grounds to the Coshocton road.
In addition to doing the work men,
toned above, it now appears that the
state board of administration has an.
other object in view in sending the
prisoners here, and that is to give the
honor system try out in Ohio.
In some states, notably in Oregon,
the honor system has been in success
full operation, and prisoners are sent,
unattended by guards, to different
parts of the state to do public work
In but few instances have prisoners
violated the confidence so placed in
them and made an effort to escape.
Fhe trying out of the honor system
here will be watched with much in
terest, not only in Ohio, but from
without the state.
In regard to the sending of the pris-
oners here, the Columbus Dispatch
has the following news article:
Determined to give the much-dis-
cussed honor system thorough try
out, members of the state board of ad-
ministration have ordered that be-
tween Is and 20 penitentiary prisoners
be sent to Mt. Vernon within the next
few weeks, to farm the state tubercu-
losis farm of about 375 acres.
The prisoners are to be placed on
their honor, and will be accompanied
by only one guard, who will act more
in the capacity of a superintendent.
Among the prisoners will be several
serving life sentences for murder.
Charles Daigen, doing life sentence
from Trumbull county, will act as as
sistant superintendent of the farm
squad.
The prisoner-farmers will live In
quarters furnished for them at the tu-
berculosis hospital, and will work as
free men, without the least bit of re-
straint, such as experienced in the pri-
son shops. The state farm at Mt.
Vernon consists of nearly 375 acres,
of which nearly rs acres is in wood
land. Aside from the work of actual
farming, the prisoners will probably be
put at work clearing away part of
the woodland
During harvest time, more prisoners
from the penitentiary, will be taken to
the farm to assist In gathering in the
crops. The products raised on the farm
will be used at the tuberculosis hos
pital and at the penitentiary.
Sending of the 20 prisoners to the
Mt. Vernon farm without guards Is
the first step to be taken by the board
of administration in the full working
of the honor system among prisoners.
Providing the plan proves success,
1t is understood that it will be tried
elsewhere.

BAPTISTS
in CONTROL
OF SummpFlaRd Beach On
Buckeye Lake
viii Be A Permanent Place
For The Assembly
And Extensive Plans Are
Made For The Future
A Summer School Will Begin
10 June
And The Baptist Assembly
will Occur Later

Summerland Beach, on Buckeye
Lake, is evidently going to become
one of the most popular and attractive
places for summer residence, and va
cation, and educational opportunities
in this part OF the country, says the
Granville. Times The control Of
the place has now passed into the
hands of well known men, whose
ideals are high, and who are we'll quail
flied to make such ideals realization.
February ii, the Stockholders of
The Summerland Beach Improvement
Company held their annual meeting,
and elected new Board of directors,
This Board now consists of D. l..
Mauger, E. e. Haskins, c. ]. Rose, E.
w. Hunt, and ]. r. Davies.
The control of Summcrland Beach
passing into the hands Of these men
will at once give the place the con-
fidence of the people. The Ohio Bap-
tist Assembly, with all Of it's equip
ment has been purchased by this COM
pany, and now the Buckeye Lake
Chautauqua and the Ohio Baptist AS
sembly are merged into one and the
same institution, and will be known
as the Summerland Beach Assembly,
and also makes it certain that the
same character that has characterized
it in the past will be maintained in
the future. Why should there not be
built up here great Winona, or a
great Chautauqua? The place furnish
es every facility for such a great in
stitution. Already plans are being
laid looking to such a future. The
assembly this season will begin on
July 2S, and close on August IL. Some
of the very best talent on the pla'
form will appear on the program.
In addition to the assembly a sum-
mer school is being planned The
idea is to have the Denison University
faculty, or such part of it as is need
ed, to conduct summer school pre-
ceding the assembly. This plan Is
already very nearly matured, and
there seems to be no doubt that it
will materalize, and the school be
held. 1t will oegin about the middle of
June and continue six weeks, closing
the Friday before the beginning of II
assembly. "a
1t appears to be a very happy and
fine arrangements. There certainly is
no place in all the country where
such a school will succeed more than
here. In the first place, the fact that
the teaching force will be composed
Of the heads of departments of Deni-
son University, will give it at once a
standing in the confidence of students
and teachers who desire the advantag-
es of good school of this kind
Credits will be given by the University
to those desiring to enter that school.
Review work will be one of the prom
inent features of the school.
Besides all this, the beautiful loca.
tion, the Lake, boating, bathing, fish
ing, etc, all give such an attractive
opportunity for recreation, that the
advantages of the school and the op-
portunity for a summer outing will
be most beautifully and successfully
combined.

To Set Aside Conveyance


The Ahlstrom Piano Co. has COM
menced a suit in the court of common
pleas of Knox county against E. c.
Penn and John R. Penn. The plaintiff
claims that a judgment was secured
against e. c. Penn in the sum of
$112.55 in the court of Squire George
S. Harter. The petition further al
leges that the defendant E. C. Penn
conveyed certain lot in Mt Vernon to
John R. Penn for the consideration OF

for the purpose of defrauding the
plaintiff and therefore asks that the
conveyance be set aside and held null
and void. William A. Hosack is the
