permits were issued by the department Tor

more than nine thousand persons.
From all Indications there will be larger

Washington, Feb. l9.-Far more
reaching in its practicabilty than
other means of prison reform is the
federal parole system, now in its
third year of application. Through
its humanitarian influence more
prisoners have been reclaimed to
manhood than ever has been thought
possible by the officers of the GOV
ernment who have had experience
in matters of this kind.
The federal parole system was
constructed upon the experience OF
The various states of the union which
have similar methods of treatment
for prisoners. 1t is under the direct
supervision of the attorney general
of the United States and Robert v.
La Dow, superintendent of the fed
eral prisons.
The law governing the application
of parole to prisoners treats all
alike. whether the convicts have been
men who formerly were prominent
personages or whether the most
insignificant. 1t applies to every pris-
oner held in federal penitentiary
who has been convicted of an of
Tense against the United States and
is sentenced to serve a term of one
year or over, and who has served

ident of the board OF parole may be
sufficient reason for revoking the or
der OF parole.
Paroles are not granted except up
on the distinct understanding thai
the prisoner agrees that he Will
not. during the term of the parole
frequent saloons or other places
where intoxicating liquors or bever-
ages are sold. that ne will not as
sociate with persons of bad repnta-
ton. that he will in all respects con-
duct himself honorably and work
diligently for himself and employer
and that he will live and remain al
liberty without violating the laws.
From the time that the prisoner
is released from the penitentiary
the board of parole aids him III
every way to make good. The
fact that he is released from the in
stitution or where he is to reside
remains secret. Every possible
means is taken to clear the convict
OF his former reputation and every
thing done to give him a new start
in life
At the department of Justice where
the records in every individual case
are recorded absolute prohibition is
maintained in respect to finding out
any information relative to the pa.
rolled man.
This step was taken by Mr. La
Dow and the attorney general lOl
the best interests OF the prisoners
and because of complaint received
from the prisoners themselves, In
sycral instances. it is said. the men
preferred to live out their sentences
rather than have the facts in their
case made public again.
Numbers of prisoners convicted OF
offenses against the United states
are held in state institutions. The
law of parole also extends to them.
In speaking of the working of the
parole system, Mr.. La Dow says
that the law is one of the best cures
for deeeneracy that has been pro
mulgated by the federal government
since congress has been establishd
its far reaching effects, he declared
are seen in every state in The union
where former Convicts are now liy-
ing exemplary lives.

SHu5TER WILL MAKE REPORT
Deposed Treasurer General of Persia
Tn Iell of His Irouhles

Washington, Feb. 19-W Morgan
Shus'er the deposed treasurergen-
eral of Persia, is expected in Wash
ingtOu today to report to the state
department. Mr.. Shuster was seat
to the Oriental country at the re-
quesi of the Persian government of
ficials 20 the state department for
an American competent to undertake
the task of rcorganizing the financial
system of the ancient kingdom.
Mr Shuster is greatly angered by
the charges made against him by NJ.
Mornard. and which are to the et.
feet that the Americans who mtil
recently We're connected with the
Persian treasury department were
guilty of fraud and left their books
in confusion. Mr.. Mornard, a Bel
2ian, was in charge of dhe Persi IN
customs. Mr. Shuster says he was
preparing to audit Mornards accounls
when the Russian ultimatum came
demanding Shuster's dismissal
81 believe that the ultimatum was
FASTENED in order to save Mornard,
declared Shuster. MY Office never
handled any cash, not even for the
payment of salaries. All the ac-
counts We're passed by the Persian
Imperial Bank, whose books prove
the honesty of the American admin
lstratlon.'
