STORE AT SELECT
is BURGLARIZED
Blood Hounds Are Used In Effort
To Run Rogues To
To Earth

The general store of Sam James,
at Select, was entered by thief or
thieves Tuesday night and merchan-
disc consisting of drygoods and gro
ceries estimated at not less than
$4,000 in value was carried away by
the midnight thieves.
Mr.. James came to Hartford We'd
nesday and made known his loss and
the County Officials communicated
with Deputy Sheriff Ed Bandy, OF
Greenville, Muhlenburg County, and
he took the first train for Beaver
Dam, with his two blood hounds
Sheriff Bratcher met Mr.. Bandy and
his man hunters at Beaver Dam and
conveyed them to the scene of the
robbery at as rapid rate as possible,
where the dogs were given their
rein, when they at once took up a
trail and without bobble followed 1t
for about three miles, being lost
when building was reached, without
the discovery of thief or the miss
ing merchandise.
The officers were confident yester-
day afternoon that the guilty parties
or party would in the end be caught,
yet at press hour we could not get
further information concerning the
matter.

REFORM IN PRISON
PAROLE INSTITUTED
Personal Hearings Given,
pulp Dead, Art, With
Board

Frankfort, KY, April 6.-An era
of prison parole reform, apparently
free from political influence or sus-
picion of brokerage, was ushered in
this afternoon when committee of
the Board of Charities and Correc-
lions sat at the Reformatory and per-
sonally heard applications of prison.
ers for parole.
Joseph P. Byers, Commissioner of
Public Institutions, Chairman Edward
w. Hines and DR.. w. A. Garfield, DR..
Samuel HALEY and E. S. Tachau, Of
the board, and Secretary Brewer
spent the afternoon in session. Mem
bers of the board, to whom the ex-
perience was entirely new, were un-
equivocally committed to the system
after the hearing.
Politicians, lawyers, weeping wives
and sympathy-beguiling children, who
in times gone by supplied the only
personal touch in parole sessions OF
the board, were absent. The papers
were there and the prisoners them
selves appeared to support their ap-
plications.
Straight Story Required.
A straight story, emitting none of
the unfavorable details, obviated a
delay for the board to obtain some
further facts from court records, as
proved necessary occasionally when a
prisoners own account revealed him
in the light of prosecuted innocence.
The straight story didn't seem to nit
igate against the convicts chances.
Commissioner Byers made it plain
that prisoners hereafter will know
that they obtained their paroles at
the hand of the board and not thru
the influence of a friend, and that
they are responsible to the board for
their conduct. To each one this was
explained, as we'll as the fact that
the parole agent is their friend and
will help them over difficulties if they
ask for it; but be ready to bring them
back if they violate their paroles.
Frank Discussion Held.
Details of the crime, the prison rec
ord, circumstances surrounding them
before their incarceration and family
connections that may effect their
conduct and welfare when they go out
were discussed.
A prominent citizen from a Cen
trail Kentucky city called on the
board in behalf of negro, who viii
be recommended for parole, but the
gentleman found himself burdened
with responsibility before he left,
for the board exacted the promise
that he would take personal inter-
est in the negro and that parole
agents could look to him for COOP
Grafton. This was the first step in
the plan to ally volunteers and all
social and welfare agencies with the
parole system.
