Governor Grants Parole.
Governor Ferris examined several
applications for parole. but granted
only one. Three others will be grant
ed as soon as the prisoners can file a
bond OF $500 each with the state
treasurer. The bond is to cover the
expense OF bringing the prisoner back
to prison in case he violates his pa
role.
The prisoner who was paroled is
Harry Waldman, sentenced frop
Wayne county, September z, 1911, for
one to Ave years in the Detroit house
Of correction for endorsement. He
is a third-termer, and the pardon
board recommended his parole.
John Middleton, William Harmon
and Charles Moore are the prisoners
who will be parroled as soon as they
can file bond.
Middleton was sentenced from Cal
houn county, December 8, 1918, for
one-half to fifteen years for burglary;
Harmon from Allegan county to Ionia
for two and one-half to five years for
larceny, and Moore from Wayne coun-
ty, November IT, 1911, for two to If
teen years in Jackson for burglary.
The latter is a third-termer and is
past sixty-three years of age.

to the Detroit house of correction. Oc-
tober IL, 1918, for two and half to
five years for entering a dwelling in

Democrats to Meet In State Capital.
Chairman Edwin c. Shields of the
Democratic state central committee
has called meeting for July IA in
Lansing, when plans will be made for
the convention and arrangements for
the campaign will be discussed.
Governor Ferris arrived in Lansing.
and said that Mrs. Ferris was consid-
erably improved.
The governor again refused to state
whether or not he could be candi-
date for reelection, and 1t Is believed
here that the filing Of his petitions the
latter part of July will be the formal
declaration that he is in the race.
However, in 1906 the Democrats Sc
cured more than enough petitions to
nominate Ferris, but two years pre-
vious to that time he had been defeat
ed by Fred M. Warner and refused to
make the race again. 1t was necessary
for the Democrats to call a state con-
vention that year and Charles H. Kim
merle was selected as the nominee.
Says Michigan 10 Safe From Plague.
According to DR.. John l.. Burkart,
secretary of the state board Of health,
there is small chance of Michigan be-
ing visited by the bubonic plague, now

leans. One report published had it
that there was plague of infected
rats at Seattle. II this be true, &C
cording to the doctor, the chances may
be increased, as trafic East direct

From the Southern epidemic now
on" he said, this state has practically
nothing to fear. Besides the persons
afflicted with the. disease, rats are
about the only carriers known. There
ID not enough direct trafiic to let rats
through here and, as far as individuals
are concerned. they would not get this
far north without being detected.
IL the Seattle report proves true,
