PAROLE PROVED SUCCESSFUL

Upon the suggestion Of Governor
Gunter, 277 inmates of the state re-
formatory at Puena Vista were pa
rolled last spring in order that they
might give their services to war work
upon the farms. According to re-
port just received by the governor
from Warden M. P. Capp, there were
only four in the entire number that
attempted to in any way betray the
confidence imposed in them. A num-
ber of boys, ranging in ages from 18
to '26, enlisted in the army and give
good reports.
Warden Capp reports that during
the past season the receipts for the
work of the PIT boys amounted to $13,
124.64. These boys sent money to their
widowed mothers, or sometimes to
their wives and children. It is esti-
mated that at least rs per cent Of the
money earned in this way was sent
home. While these boys worked out
they were being boarded and the state
saved this expense, which amounts to
about 5000 year for each inmate.
Warden Capp says:
"Our inmates thus supplied with
money have also been able to buy Lib
erty bonds and war savings stamps
to the amount of 81 200. For the Red
Cross they subscribed $50 and also
gave an entertainment in the interest
of that organization and raised $313."

Charges Filed Against
Draft Board Lawyer

Charges of violating professional
ethics in accepting $500 fee from a
drafted man were preferred yesterday
against Luke O'Reilly, a Brooklyn at
torney and member of the legal ad-
visory board of Loca. Board 58. The
charges were made by the Bar Associa-
tion of Brooklyn and were referred by
Justice jerks, Of the Appellate Divi-
sion, to Justice Garretson as referee.
O'Reilly is alleged to have accepted
the fee from MortoG Stafford, an un-
dertaker, of $50 East Fifteenth Street,
for having him transferred from Glass
A in the draft to Class B3. Stafford's
case is said to have been reopened,
with the result that he went back to
Class A.
stafford employed me as attorney to
appeal from decision which he
claimed was unjust" said O'Reilly.
"The board admitted that a mistake had
been made and reclassified Stafford.
sent him bill for $500, which he paid.
To prepare the case required many
hours of my time and much work.
believed that was justified in accept
ing a fee. The New York County Bar
Association does not dsapprove of
charging for such services. When in
formed of the decision here returned
the money!"

Federal Government
May Intervene to Stop
Strike on Subun,

"The United States government may
step in and end the wrangla between
the Board of Estimate and the Public
Service Commission if the two bodies
do not shortly reach an agreement so
as to end the strike of the subway
workers." said an official in close
touch with the situation yesterday.
This official said that not only was
the strike costing the taxpayers more
than $4,000 day in interes charges
on the $45,000000 of subway work
which is being held up by the strike,
but that every day was adding to the
delay in solving the city's transporta-
tion problem, and thus hamnering the
successful prosecution of the war
He pointed out that the war indus
tries carried on within the city were
so stupendous that the government had
forbidden the creation of any more
factories in greater New York.
"The subways, if work Is resumed on
them without delay" said The Trjb-
une's informant, "will be in operation
early next year. And if they are not
completed before the winter is over.
our transportation problem may be so
great that the getting of employees en-
gagged in war work to and from their
plants may be beset with difficulties.
"There are four passenger subways
under the river to be completed They
are of even greater Importance in the
successful prosecution Of the war than
the tube for freight cars the national
government is asking for to connect
Jersey City and South BROOKLYN"

Russellite Trial Draps
AS Defendants Testify

Small progress was made by the
government yesterday in its case
against eight followers Of tho lata
fastor Russell for conspiracy and OBJ
struction of the draft in the Federal
Court, Brooklyn.
Alexander II. McMi1lin, defendant.
testlhed that he had not read "The
rlnlshed Mystery" portions of which
are ar. alleged to be seditious, until after
lts publication and even yet has not
finished it. He swore also that in his
Home, the home of the religious or
ganlzation of Pastor Russell, he had
had nothing to do with the publishing
OF the book and has had no corre-
spondence of any kind with conscien-
tlous objectors or draft dodgers. The
government did not produce any evil
dence to the contrary
Fred II. Robinson, another defend
ant, produced $50 Liberty Bond from
his pocket in the courtroom yesterday
when asked by the prosecuting attor-
ney as to his share in the governments
war activities.
"1t was all I could afford to do out
Of my allowance of $15 month";" said
the defendant.
Counsel for the defence then ex
planned that the Peoples Pulpit Asso-
citation allows its workers that sum for
all personal expenses, including cloth
ing. Mr.. Robinson stated also that he
is member Of the Red Cross and
took course in the teaching Of
Americanization as outlined by the
Department Of the Interior. Accord
ing to his testimony, he believes in
this war.
The case will close next week after
the remaining three defendants take
the stand.

Osborn to Remain i'm
Michigan Senate Race

DETROIT, June 14.-The announce
ment in Washington yesterday by
Henry Ford that he would accept the
nomination for United States Senator
to succeed William Alden Smith, if
rendered him, was met in Michigan to-
day by statements from two former
Governors who had previously an
nounced their candidacy.
Chase S. Osborn, candidate for the
Republican nomination, in signed
statement issued here late to-day. as
sailed the: action of the Democratic
conference in Lansing Wednesday,
when it indorsed Ford, Republican,
calling it plan to disintegrate the
Republican party in Michigan. He
severely criticised Ford, who, he said,
was an ardent pacifist before the war
and spent thousands of dollars in ad-
vcrtising aimed to prevent America s
entrance into the conflict. He stated
he had NO intention of withdrawing
from the race.
Fred NJ. Warner, another candidate
for the Republican nomination, speak
ing at Inlay City, said:
II am sure Ford will be nominate d
and elected on the Republican ticket" "
He did not say, however, that he
would withdraw from the race.
