The report of the Advisory Board
in the Matter of Paroles" states that
during the year ending Nov. 80, 1915,
the baord granted paroles to S5 appli-
cants and refused the parole privilege
to 10. Each applicant was carefully ex-
amined and no parole was granted in
any case without assurance being CIV
en- to the board that suitable EMPLOY
ment would be given to the applicant
during his parole period.
1t was decided by vote of the board
tnat. beginning with September, 1915.
the parole period Of all prisoners should
be uniformly fixed at one year from
date of release, unless the full term Of
sentence of the prisoner would expire
within a year from date Of release in
the event Of which the parole period
would extend to date Of expiration of
term OF sentence. At the April meet
ing q vote was passed requiring that
all applications for paroles must no

Since the indeterminate sentence

People on the street Friday evening
were attracted by very novel window
display in the south window Of F. L.
Hersey's shoe store. 1t was a bicycle
Of indeterminate age, but which is the
property of Frank Written of Western
avenue, and which was built like the
famous "one horse shay" to last in
definitely. The wheels are made Of
heavy wood and wrought iron, the
frame is very heavy and made of
wrought iron, as is the saddle, which
is mounted on long, horizontal spring
Of the same material. The front wheel
is three feet in height and nine feet in
circumference, while the rear wheel is
much smaller. the pedals are Of heavy
iron with a pair of wooden spools for
rollers, and the handle bars are plain
iron, no hand grips of any sort being
supplied. The tires are Of iron. and
the spokes are about as heavy as any
light wagon spoke. When the last mus
ter was held, some Of the soldiers at
tempted to ride 1t, but none Of them
succeeded in burning up the road to
any extent. Mr.. Hefsey very kindly
offers to let anyone ride it as far AZ
the postoffice. provided it is returned

What II. r. Thew Says About Tri.
angles First Program

1.-THE Lamb" from the Fine Arts
studios, directed by w. Christy Ca
banne, under the supervision OF D. w.
Griffith, is the five-reel offering. 1t
shows the Griffith hand, and is by far
the highest spot Of the program. 1t
features young Douglas Fairbanks.
who is another proof of the adage,
credited to the elder Pliny: "Once an
actor, always an actor" An excellent
actor on the spoken stage, transplant
ed to the screen he becomes a delight
to the eye. Such people help demon
strate that most of the unknowns who
have been made" by the screen, are
not yet completed. Seena Owen (she
that was Signe Auen) is one of those
to be exempted from any implied slight
to screen artists. Her work is good.
and we have had occasion before to
refer to her singular beauty; we re-
peat.
In going to Mexico to prove that
there is a touch Of the lion in his lamb
like nature, Fairbanks gives the direc-
tor opportunity to introduce the typ
ical Griffith effects. Long stretches of
plain, with lines of minute Yaqui In
dians creeping up on the beleagued
couple, the dash of great bodies of
cavalry, immense distances of noun
tain and valley with crowds of pigmy
people. and the burning of gunpowder
IN bulk. to which is added a machine
gun moving down the besiegers, make
for real thrills. One incident which is
sure fire" Is jump by Fairbanks

ers of Yaqui pursuer, and the dis

Alfred Paget. William E. Lowery and
Eagle Eye are also in the cast.
The Keystone Comedy, in two reels.
IS called MY Valet" Nominally it
features Raymond Hitchcock, under
the direction Of Mack Sennett. BY rea-
son of his inability to resist the TEMPT
alton to feature himself, Mr.. Sennett
mas lost chance to live up to his past
performance as great director. In
TOO many instances he has actually
taken the scenes away from Raymond
Hitchcock.
In producing this comedy it has been
necessary to disturb Mabel Normand's
peaceful life. She is thrown around like
bean in coal bunker, tied to a rock
while the surf rolls over her, ducked in
the ocean and otherwise handled with
hooks. Fred Mace is good. as are also
Frank Opperman and Alice Davenport.
The plot hangs about Hitchcock's plan

| AT the present time there are 100

| ed The bank commissioner, Irving T.
Vernon of Portland says:
! Il feel that the department may be
able to better investigate some Of the
applicants for registration as soon as
small appropriation secured at the
! last session of the Legislature becomes
available. although l feel that the
amount given is hardly sufficient for in
telligent and thorough investigation.
las there is no session Of the Legis-
lature until 1917, I purposely refrain
from making any recommendations at
this time. reserving until the next re-
port many matters which will then be
submitted for the attention Of your
Excellency.'
The State Hospitals
Governor Curtis was very much graft
| fled by the financial accomplishments of
the Augusta and Bangor State Hospi-
tails and he did not hesitate to speak
his mind on this question, at the coun-
ell meeting Friday DR.. Forest c. Ty-
| son, superintendent Of the Augusta
State Hospital, was present at the aft
| ernoon session when his report was
| presented and Gov. Curtis complimented
him upon the reduction in the per capt.
ia expense brought about under the
management of DR.. Tyson and Steward
Samuel N. Tobey. The cost per capita
at the Augusta institution was reduced
from $4.34 per week during 1914, to
$4.02 per week during 1915 and result
ed in a saving of about $4,000. At
| Bangor the cost was reduced to Ala,
reduction of A cents from the per
capita cost per week for the preceding
| year.
The Bangor State Hospital reported
the daily average number Of patients
as follows: Men, 1887; women, 29L7;
total. 631.4. This accounting shows an
increase of IS over the daily average
| for 1914.
| In 1915 considerable number of i'm
provements were made at the Bangor
| institution and notably the renovation
of two wards.
The report of the Augusta State Hos
pital is the 18th annual report. 1t
states that there were 95S patients in
| the hospital at the beginning of the
year 1915, Of which SIG were men and
/ 442 were women. There were admitted
during the year, 21S men and $50 wo-
men, a total of 36S, which is 43 more
than the population of 1914. The total
number OF cases treated was 1926, IS
more than in 1914. The daily average
number of patients was 9s7, an increase
of IS over 1914,

NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON
JANUARY 7

The Governor and Council at their
meeting Friday heard the majority
and minority reports of the Board OF
Trustees Of the Woman's Reformatory
on a proposed location for the reform.
atory and committee of three coun-
cillors was appointed to examine the
proposed location at SkoWhegan. At
ter Luther Maddox Of Boothbay Har-
Dor had aired the troubles of the Dog
fish Commission again, the meeting
decided to attempt no settlement OF
the commissions disagreement at the
present time and postponed action I'M
til such time as the commission should
agree upon it's course Of action or UNI
til it appeared that a situation IN
Washington called for the attention OF
one Of the two members who are de-
termined to go to the national capital.
Gov. Curtis commended the manage
ments of the Bangor and Augusta state
hospitals for bringing about marked
decreases in per capita expense in the
year 1915.
Will Not Lose Funds
To quiet any alarms which might be
given by the fact that number of ap-
propriations were not properly in
cluded in the 1915 and 1916 appropria-
ton bills as made up by the 77th
legislature or by the fact that it has
been impossible to prepare to make
use Of certain appropriations, included
in the 1915 appropriation bill, when
would ordinarily lapse at the close OF
the year. the Governor stated that IN
the absence Of the Legislature the
Governor and Council had certain du-
ties to perform and that part OF their
duty. in his opinion. was to carry on
the business Of the State. Realizing,
therefore. that such action is not ex-
actly according to the letter OF state
documents but knowing the intent OF
such documents the Governor and
Council will later draw orders trans
ferring these appropriations to the
1915 appropriation bill so that the in
stitutions interested may have the
funds intended for them-as In the
case of the Woman's Reformatory
which has not touched $4,000 appro-
priated for 1915, as in the case Of the
Sanatoria whose appropriation was in
cluded In the 1915 bill in full instead
on divided between the years 1915 and
1916" and several other cases.
