WOODROW WILSON

In addition to the 167 votes to be cast by the Solid South in favor of Woodrow Wilson, yester- days Republican papers were kind enough to concede-. that the Governor of New Jersey would receive the electorial vote of the states of Delaware, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Indiana, Maine, South Dakota, New Jersey, Ne vada, Colorado and Arizona. The total electorial of those states is S6, which would bring the Coy ernors vote up to 253, just 13 less than enough to elect. Not, withstanding all these Republi- can figures, every paper of the east states that the betting is 4 to on Wilson. Whenever Wall Street gamblers bet on a man they bet to win their money and we cannot remember a time when they ever lost cent on bet.

FIRE DESTROYS THE
 FARRELL RESIDENCE

Sunday morning about three o'clock the residence of J. R. Harrell, which was on the corner of East Walnut and Third streets, burned. The fire was not dis covered until it had made such headway that the fire boys could do nothing with it.
 The fire originated in the rear ot the house, presumably in the kitchen. Cause unknown. The household effects in the two front rooms were saved, everything on the second floor and the rear of the house being destroyed.
 This residence was among Prescott's prettiest homes It was a two story building and was surrounded by a profusion of flowers and shrubery.
 Mir. Harrell carried some in. surance but we were unable to learn the exact amount.

Only Nineteen Per Cent Of the
Number Freed In Michigan
Fall to Make Good
REPORT FOR PAST TWO YEARS
Total Of Nine Hundred and Eighty.
Seven Men Let Out

Lansing, Dec 24.--According TO fig-
pres included in the report TO the
governor Of the advisory board In the
matter of pardons. which has just
been issued. II appears that I'm the
last twenty-three months nine hun
dred ana eighty-seven prisoners have
been paroled in Michigan by that
board, and of this number only one
hundred and eighty-eight have vio-
lated the conditions OF their parole.
This means that out of the total num-
Der OF prisoners paroled by the pres
ent board, but nineteen per cent have
broken their parole; and this is six
Fer cent lower than the record of the
pardon board during the two years
previous to this administration. Incl
dentally, IL is six per cent lower than
most of those In authority thought
could be attained as the wardens of
the prisons and members of other
boards have frequently insisted that
were psroled, there would always be
as many as twenty five per cent who
would fail TO make good.
Other figures of the report are
equally interesting. IL is shown that
out Of the lsS prisoners who have
broken their paroles. but 80 have so
far been returned To prison. Ninety
Two have up To the present time sue
ceeded in evading the clutches Of the
law, so far as is known by the Michi-
gan authorities; while five are known
To be- serving sentences in other pris.
ons. The cioseness with which paroled
prisoners are watched, is shown by
the fact that of the fun number who
broke the conditions of their releases,
but 20 per cent were guilty of commit
ting new crimes, while the remaining
50 per cent have had warrants issued
failed 10 live up to the requirements
imposed by the board.
The .ndeterminate sentence law pro-
vides that In sentencing a prisoner.
the trial Judge shall give him a max
imum sentence which is fixed by stat
ute; shall give him minimum SEN
tence that cannot be less than six
months and cannot be more than half
the maximum; and that he shall also
recommend what in his judgment is a
reasonable maximum. The pardon
board cannot act on n case until the
prisoner has served his minimum SEN
tence. Their report shows that on an
average Michigan prisoners serve six
months and twelve days over the min
imum fixed by the Judge before they
are paroled: and an average of five
months and nine DAYS less than the
reasonable maximum so fixed. Ii II
well known, however, that the men,
bers of the board rarely parole pris-
oner unless they have secured in ad-
vance the recommendation of the Judge
who sentenced him.
