'LENIENCY FOR
KEN0SHA MAN
Governor Blaine Commutes
Sentence of j. Paren
of KenOsha.
ROBBED NASH HOME
Paren Sentenced to Ten Years
on Burglary Charge After
Robbing Nash Home.

Joseph Paren, sentenced in the mum
icipal court of Kenosha county in 1920
to serve 10 years in the. state prison
after conviction on charge of burg
larry, was granted executive clemency
in a decision handed down by Cover
nor Blaine today, according to mes
sages from Madison. Governor Blaine
has committed the sentence of Paren
to three years, which time is now
practically completed.
Parent was one of several prison
ers whose sentences were committed,
but was the only one of the list from
Kenosha. Governor Blaine also grant
ed four pardons. These were for Julius
Moczynski, sentenced in municipal
court, Milwaukee county, to four years
in the house of corrections; Irving
Moulthrop, from jefferson county,
serving three year term; Amelia
Bodenhagen, Milwaukee, serving q
three year term on a charge of arson
and Adolph Lovrine, sentenced in
juvenile court in Milwaukee to one
year in the industrial school on a
charge of truancy.
Paren's Record Here.
Police and other Kenosha officials
were very much astounded at the ac-
ton of Governor Blaine in commut-
ing the sentence of Joseph Paren, as
the latter was considered one of the
most dangerous men ever sentenced
from a Kenosha COURT Paren was
found guilty of staging a hold-up in
the former Schlitz hotel here where
by he took diamond pin from a man
there; investigation at his room here
showed him to be the man who had
entered the home of Charles w. Nash
on Durkee avenue several days prior
to the hold-up.
Paren was also the man who while
being taken to prison attacked former
sheriff Joseph Meyer on Northwest
ern train just out of Milwaukee when
he attempted to escape from custody.
At that time he hit Meyer over the
head with the handouts by which he
was shackled to the officer, and only
the work of the train crew prevented
him from escaping.
Not His Real Name.
"The police department here con-
sidered Paren dangerous man." de-
clared Secretary of Police Meissner
in discussing the communication Of his
sentence. "When he was arrested he
had revolver in his possession and
he frankly confessed that had he been
accosted by anyone while he was in
the act of robbery, he would have used
the weapon. Paren is not his real
name; he told US that but declared
that we would never know what his
real name was"
Robert Scharte, the man who several
years ago was sentenced to prison af-
ter trial in the circuit court on a
charge of burglary, at which he con-
Quoted his own defense, was denied his
petition for pardon. He was one of
twenty-five to whom the governor re-
fused to extend clemency at this time.

PERMIT BADNESS
AT ALLENDALE
Boys Naturally Not Angels
Are Allowed to be Bad
at Lake Villa.
ONLY, MUST NOT SMOKE

Thirty years experience as director
of the Allendale farm has convinced
Edward L. Bradley, at Lake Villa, of
badness" in boys.
Upon the 26O acres of land and wa
ter of the farm, badness" is &C.
counted natural part of the devel-
opment of Captain Bradley's 100 boys.
Years ago Mr.. Bradley devoted him
self to new ideal in boy culture,
and his faith, he says, in the inherent
goodness of American youth has yield
ed increasingly great returns.
Foundation of the farm, according to
Mr.. Bradley, might be taken as pro-
test against the institutionalism which
oftimes attempts to reform boys into
''un-natural little angels" The other
extreme was at first the policy at the
farm, and it has changed but slightly.
The boys here are of the normal kind,
Mr.. Bradley says, made from snaps,
snails and puppy dog tails" They are
encouraged to be themselves.
Few "Don'ts" at Allendale.
There are few warnings or S'dont's"
ten law which no one violates. The
boys may lie, steal, throw stones
normally, and pay for it only as they
might in the best of homes, but who
ever dares smoke cigarette treads
dangerous ground, and perhaps num-
bers his days at Allendale.
Nothing so limits the future of a
boy as the cigarette" Captain Brad
I've believes. ~That is the only thing
we will not tolerate"
Some boys require special atten-
tion," the director admitted "Some-
times we fail to handle them. Then
we hand them over to the boys them
selves and they always bring them
around
Expelled Only Two Boys.
''In all our years we have had to ex-
pei only two boys. We say to the
boys: Here he is, if you can put up
with him, if you want to give him a
chance, if you will take the response
bility for his conduct we'll keep him.
''They take him and soon the OBJ
jectionable qualities disappear. They
take pride in being their brothers.
keeper"
A list of natioalities of the boys on
the farm includes nearly all the names
in the league of nations. Among the
hundreds who have gone out from the
school, are many, the director says,
who are drawing salaries of $4,000 and
$1,000 year. "And they are fine
family men" he adds.

ITALIAN WARSHIPS
LINGER AT CORFU
Italy Says Ships Are Just Cruising
and that Big Ships Have
Gone Home.

Corfu Italian ships of war still
lie at anchor in Corfu harbor, but have
no communication with the shore.
A great service of public thanks
giving was held here today attended
by priests from all parts~of the land.
A Rome dispatch last night said it
was officially denied that Italian
dreadnaughts were still in Corfu har-
Dor. 1t added that some small units
of the Italian fleet were still cruising
near the island, but that they were
beyond the territorial waters.

Baldwin Praises
Work of League

London - Premier Stanley Baldwin
in addressing the premiers of the en-
pire at the opening of the imperial
conference today paid tribute to the
work of the league Of nations in con-
nection with the Greco-Italian dispute.
If the league had not existed and acted
as it did there would have been war,
he declared.
The Washington armament confer
ence exceeded "our most sanguine ex-
pectations," he said. These results,
he added, were due in great part to
the dramatic proposals with which
the United States government con-
fronted the conference.

HUGHES PLAN STILL
BEFORE EUROPEANS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary
Hughes proposal for the reference
of the reparations problems to inter-
national financiers for recommends
items based on economic conditions
is considered in Washington as still
before the allied governments The
opinion of administration officials it
may yet open a way to reconcile the
views of Great Britain and France
on the course to be followed.
A White House spokesman stated
moving t. the Preparations crisis and
could not move unless the powers
concerned showed a desire that it
should do SO. Ultimately it is hoped
that a way to be helpful will be
opened by action OF the French or
British governments.
At the State Department it was
said Secretary Hughes suggestion
stood unchanged. 1t was evident that
officials did not believe that occu-
patton of the Ruhr region by French
and Belgian forces had operated to
prevent the carrying out of such a
project as Mr.. Hughes suggested, if
practical test of the French plan for
forcible collections did not come up
tc French hopes.
In effect the view taken by adj
ministration officials appears to be
that If the French theories in regard
to German capacity to pay prove
sound there will be no reason for
further American initiative in the
matter, if not the Hughes suggestion
may we'll serve as the basis for a
new allied conference to plan some
other course
