GOVERNOR PROBABLY ONLY
 POWER TO GIVE PAROLES
Attorney General Utley Does Not Believe Board of Directors
 May Legally Act.
SpeciaI % The Star.

SPectdt 70 The star.
 Little Rock, Oct. 18.-In an opin- lon rendered yesterday upon the re- quest of Mrs. Margaret Ford. execu- tive secretary of the Commission of Charities and Corrections. Attornev General Utley holds that paroles rom state institutions are probably invalid without the sanction of the governor. He says:
 The committai of woman over the age of IS seems to be an act oI discretion on the part of the child court, after conviction of the offend CT. Where this discretion is ever- clsed, then the indeterminate san tence automatically follows. with tha provision that commitment cannot exceed three years, except in cases where the maximum term specified ny law was fixed by the trial court n which case the maximum term of Pehltentlary sentence is adopted of a felony for commitment.
 One convicted of felony bv 2 criminal court and afterwards com initted to the state farm for wonan 1oes not change her legal statns Committal to the state farm seenos 70 be merely for humanitarian and fe1ormatory purposes. I am there lore inclined to believe that all tbet part of Act No. 494 of 1919 which seeks to confer on the Board of m, aectors power to discharge Is in con m met with that part of Section 1s nf Article 6 of the state constitnt;on which eonfers upon the governor ths power to grant decrees, commuta conviction.
