PAROLE LAW
TO BE URGED
Bill Prepared by Prisoners
Aid Society for Consid-
Grafton of Legislature
WOULD CREATE
BOARD OF PAROLE

Embodying many features of a
similar measure which was present
ed at the last session and failed OF
passage, the Prisoners Aid Society of
Delaware have had prepared another
Parole bill. making It possible TO
parole prisoners of the State, which
VIII be presented to the Legislature
next month. The proposed Parole
law provides for prisoners sentenced
for one year or longer except for
certain specified offenses, to be re-
leased on parole after the serving of
one-half Of their term, il parole is
recommended by the proper author
tiles. Life sentence prisoners may
be released on parole after serving
IS years of their term under the pro-
visions of the bill.
Paroling OF prisoners would come
under the supervision of a Board Of
Parole. of three members, created
under the proposed law. These
members would be appointed within
GO days after the act becomes law
by the judges of the Supreme Court
OF the State for one, two and three
year Germs and subsequent appoint
ments would be for three years. The
bill provides for the appointment of
a parole officer by the board.
The principle of the Parole Law
has already been endorsed by all po-
litical parties Of the State. the State
Federation of Women's Clubs and
other bodies. The bill has been en-
dorsed by the trustees of the New
Castle County Workhouse and War d
den Plummer. the latter having been
keenly interested in the bill before
the Legislature two years ago.
Under the will the paroled pris- I
oner would still be prisoner with .
In the limits of residence fixed by
The Parole Board and under the su- .
pervision Of the parole officer. It
would give him the opportunity to
support himself and family. instead
Of being a charge on the State. The
prisoner paroled would have limit
ID liberay conditional upon good +,
conduct and Industry.
AaA gAt laws nave OGtn tIItCLlNEly
IN use for several years in 81 States.
t IS pointed out by supporters of /,
he proposed law that the object Of
he State judicial system is not d
merely to infict suffering for crime. +,
'ut to reform the criminal and to ]
prevent the repetition Of criminal Z
cts. The best penal institutions are ,
administered with a view Of return
Hg prisoners to society prepred 10 ,
ollow law-abiding lives. it is con- I
ended. !
1t is pointed out that under a pa
'ole law prisoners may be tried |
out" under supervision and under
which give the strongest
Incentives for the formation OF
habits Of good citizenship and law
abiding life. Strong penalties are
provided for failures while success is
'ewarded. The moral effect of a pa
ole law upon the character of pris-
'ners is said to be excellent and en-
them to make the effort re-
iuired for the formation of good in
cad of evil habits.

CHARGES UP SOON
BY IAwRENoE NJ. BENEDICT,

United LPress Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l.-Enorts

dietary Committee to save Chief

and inconvenience of appearing as

ment hearings starting tomorrow

from Representative Keller, author

ing summoned.

Chairman Nolstead. Keller took the
committee to task for an alleged
general bad faith and criticised 1t
particularly for its failure TO in
clude chief Justice Taft in the first

pOenaes were issued Saturday.
Keller wanted Taft to testify con-
cerning the alleged uDhtnees for
public Office Of William j. Burns,
appointed by Daugherty as head Of
the Federal bureau OF investga-
tion.
Stating he had been advised "only
through the newspapers that the
committee had decided 1t was ''un-
necessary" to call Taft to the stand,
Keller demanded of Vo!stead:
what means have you of know
ing whether Chief Justice Taft is or
Is not material witness in proof OF
these charges that enables you to de-
eide in this peremptory fashion that
his personal testimony would not
throw further light on the trans
action? How do you know that we
are not going TO elicit testimony
from Chief Justice Taft on some of
the other charges? Docs your COM
mhtee presume to take the wholly
and high handed stand
that before you will summon any
witnesses you must know exactly
what they will testify top
Keller charged the committee with /
being biased and with having /
prejudiced" the case against +.
Daugherty.
Keller IS insisting that testimony
shall be taken first on the Burps
natter. The committee decided by
resolution 10 start on the charge
hat Daugherty has refused to prose-
,ute violators of the antitrust stat
ties, the first of the IA specifications
aid down by Keller, and go right
iown the line in order.

That cold may turn into Flu"
Grippe or, even worse. Pneumonia,

Rub good old Musterole on the con-
gested parts and see how quickly il

Colds are merely congestion. Mus

camphor, menthol and other simple in
gradients, Is counter-irritant which
stimulates circulation and helps break
up the cold.
As effective as the messy old mustard

You viii feel a warm tingle as lt en-
