PAROLE SYSTEM
IN WISCONSIN
Ninety Per Cent of the Men Re-
port Regularly.
FEW RETURNED TO PRISON
Ralph Smith, President of the State
Board of Control, Says Men Are
Taught to Live in an
Upright Manner.

Madison.-"The parole system Of
Wisconsin is teaching men to live in
an upright manner outside of prison.
A man trying right living outside of
a prison is growing into right habits.
It is better to have him out than in"
This is the statement of Ralph
Smith, president of the state board
of control, in telling Of the success
of Wisconsin's parole law
1--WE take the men whom the courts
will not put on probation, whom the
courts say can not be trusted. We
train them in the prison until they
are capable of parole. This means
that the prison is a real reformatory. !"
Ninety per cent of the men who
are paroled from the prison at Wau-
pun report regularly to the board and
are given honorable discharges when
their time is up.
The parole law went into effect in
August, 1907 From that time until
February %, 1914, the state board has
passed upon 936 applications for pa
role from the prison, granted $50, de-
MED 445 and continued 8. Five were
withdrawn. But 46 of the $50 de-
faulted and SO have been returned to
the prison.

over 5000 Students at U. of W.

The enrolment at the University
of Wisconsin will exceed that Of last
year. At present the indications are
that it will have approximately $500
students in 1914: The number of stu
dents at the last summer session was
2,120. The fall enrolment was 4,432
students
At the opening of the second semes-
ter lit, drop of 70, entered. During
the year the short agricultural course
and the dairy course contributed
about $50 more students. This gives
a total of 1919 enrolled for the whole
of the year OF this number, how
ever, about 900 students were enrolled
in both the summer course and the
fall course, and these must be de-
dGcted. This places Wisconsin ahead
of all the schools in the country, ex-
cept Columbia, 9,840; Minnesota, g.
953; California, 6,817 and Chicago,
$500 The gain in enrolment over
last year in the Badger school was
about 600.

Her1 Of Elk for STATE.

Herd Of Elk for State.
A herd of elk are going to soon, be
grazing in the woods of northern
Wisconsin.
The office of the state game warden
has received notice from T. S. Parker
of the biological survey that the state
may have so elk from the Jackson's
Hole country or 25 from Yellowstone
Park at $40 and So a head respec-
lively. The Jackson's Hole elk cost
more because it is difficult to trans
port them to the railroad. These ami
mails, which were applied for by the
state, will be quartered in the north
ern woods, probably in Forest or Villas
county. They will be protected and
looked after by the state game war
dens and hope that they will rapidly
increase.
The federal government would not
allow the state to have the animals
until a law was passed protecting
them at all times This was done by
the last legislature. The animals will
be protected until they have grown to
such numbers that the federal gov
eminent will give permission to hunt
them.

Decide on Site of Buildings.

Following an examination of the
grounds recently purchased as site
for the new women's reformatory at
Fond du Lac, President Ralph E.
Smith of the state board of control
and Consulting Architect Allan D.
Conover decided on the location of
the several buildings, work on which,
according to Mr.. Smith, will be COM

init.
The administration building is given
a slightly location and will be erected
where the Sabel farmhouse now
stands The power plant will be To-
Gated 900 feet north, with several
buildings for inmates in line, and
a group just back of this line arranged
at intervals. The plan calls for ten

five or six of which are to be COM
pleted this year.

New York, March 5.--A story I'M

Austro-American liner Oceania when
the vessel arrived here. The captain
said that while the vessel was off the
coast of Algiers it ran into a shoaI of
bodies of men and women. They
were bodies of Arabs which were be-

an Arabian ship was wrecked.

Expect Increase In Insurance.


With numerous officials of coun-
ties, cities and school boards writ
ing to the department of insurance
for information, a large increase in in
surance on public property by the
state is anticipated for the year 1914.
Under the laws of the state, all
public property, state, county, munich
pal and school, can be insured in the
state fund, created for that purpose,
and which has behind it the state
treasury as a reserve. The law estab-
fishing such fund was passed in 1903,
and for the first nine years provided
Tor insurance OF state property only.
In 1911 the law was amended to in
clude county and local property as
ly widened All state property is now
insured in this fund-in fact has
been since 1903. Counties may insure
CoVrthouses, jails, asylums, poor farm
buildings, training schools, ETC., cities
all municipal buildings, and school
boards may insure school houses. The
insurance of school houses is con-
fined to those located in cities and
villages, for the reason that school
houses in country districts are now
insured in the farmers companies at
cost
At present risks to the amount Of
$17,067 ,8S907 are carried by the state.
OF this amount the insurance on
state property is $15,S96,372.57. In this
amount the principal item is one Of
S4,130,730 on the state capitol. The
insurance on state university build
ings is $3,267,73236
So far no cities have come in under
the law, but some 40 cities have cor
responded with the department with
that end in view. Public property may
be insured up to 80 per cent of its
value, but any amount below that fig
ure may be taken out.
The cost of annual insurance is go
per cent of the cost Of the same kind
of insurance in regular fire insurance
companies
