New Law Furnishes Serious
Problem In Blue Grass State.
ALL MUST SECURE WORK.
lndetermnate Sentence Measure Opens
Prison Doors to Men Guilty Of All
Kinds of Crmes-Farmers Anxious
to Employ Prisoners, as There Exists
Scarcity of Labor.

IIopkinsville, Ky.-Kentucky is fac.
ng the problem of caring for 4222 con
victS to be liberated at approximately
the same time and for whom 10 pro-
vision has been made. The prospect
Is viewed with varying sensations in
different parts of the state. In cities
and towns there is alarm, but on the
farms and plantations, where help is
scarce, no fears are felt, and i'll fact
the liberated criminals will be made
welcome for their labor.
This condition is brought about by
the new indeterminate sentence law
which is now operative in Kentucky
and which does away with the old
law by which the jury trying case
fixed the term of years for which Il
person should be confined. in the same
verdict declaring him guilty. AS it Is
now. the jury merely passes upon Il
prisoners guilt or innocence. and if he
is found guilty his prison term is auto
matically fixed by the law covering
the offenSe with which he is charged
Those sentences, Of course. range from
Il specified minimum number of years
to Il maximum. And it has been the
rule heretofore for the prison board,
with whom the power of parole rests.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, June ia res
olution for the issuing of $85,000
worth of bonds to be known as court
house bonds, was passed at an ad-
journed meeting of the Board of
Freeholders held yesterday after
noon. The bonds are to be eighty
five in number and $1,000 each.
They are to be dated from July l of
this year and to run for twenty years.
I The rate of interest on the bonds will
be determined at subsequent meet
ing of the board. The contract for the
repairing and extension of the court
house, was awarded to Contractor
George b. Rule, of this city.
Eugent Ross, who resides on the
River road, sent a communication
to the board in which he complained
about the dust from that road. He
also called the boards attention to
the manufacturers of automobiles,
who make practice out of using the
River road as speedway for the
testing of their cars. Mr.. Ross said
in his letter that some of the resi-
dents along the road suggested the
forming of shotgun brigade.
Director Gebhardt stated that oil
is now being placed on the River
road. In reference to using the road
for the speeding of cars, Mr.. Gsb-
hardt said that he called the atten@
ton of the manager of tie Simplex
Automobile Company to this practice
and he said he would see that the
practice would be discontinued Tho
clerk was instructed to commune
cate with the manager of the Simplex
Company calling attention to the
complaints which have been made to
the board.
Fred Snedeker from whom the
county purchased the farm on the
Cranbury Turnpike road, sent a bill
to the board for $449 for labor and
material used on the farm The
board claimed that the bill was ex-
cessiye and they had it reduced to
$500.
A resolution was also passed for
advertising for bids for building Of
the second section of the Roosevelt
Woodbridge road.
In view of the fact that the free
holders concluded that it was neces-
sary to procure the signatures OF
two-thirds of the property owners
along the approach of both sides Of
the proposed Convery place bridge at
Perth Amboy, before plans could be
approved and advertised for bids, the
freeholders took no action in regard
TO the matter yesterday. 1t was re-
ported that efforts were under way
to have Mr. Pardee sign the petition,
which in the opinion of the freehold
ers, would make the document legal.
Mr.. Pardee is in Philadelphia and 1t
is understood that his son will place
the petition before him today for his
signature. He owns practically all
of the land along the approach at
the south side of the proposed
bridge. According to the freehold
ers, the plans will be approved and
advertised for bids, Sust as soon as
the signature is obtained. This ac-
tion will probably be taken by reso-
| luton at the next meeting of the
board
