nounced today by John Hannah, Sec
rotary of the state board of control,
following approval by Governor Blaine.
All of the inmates transferred are un"
der 81 years of age, it is stated. The

Schoenwetter, 20; John Swart, 90; Fred
Holly, 20; Donald Pippin, 10, and Will

halen, serving term IN the prison and
found TO be too young 80 be trans
ferred to the refoTInatory was paroled
to the custody OF tne superintendent
of the reformatory until he becomes
old enough to enter the re&0rmatory,
it was announced.
''These, transfers will work to the
benefit Of the boys az it will not only
give them the greater educational ad-
vantages afforded at the reformatory,
but also because of the absence Of the
discipline of the rigid silence that
marks the prison discipline and the
boys will have more opportunities to
commune with their fellows and enjoy
that intercourse SO essential to the
happiness and well being of boy" a
statement by the board declared.
1.-The sole consideration that moved
the board to recommend and the gov
ernor to order, the transfer was the
age Of these boys, and that they may
be saved the consequences of the ef-
fects Of prison associated. Waupun
is penal institution where the pris-
oner must serve one half of his term

Jion Tor parole. The primary aim of
the reformatory is not to punish, but
TO reform so that those sent there de-
pend upon their record to become eli
gible for consideration for parole after
serving nine months

ately. Members of the board of con-
troll conducted an extended inquiry
into the records of each of those trans
ferred before recommending the ac-
tion, it is said. Following the inquiry

Man Whose Truck Killed
Clarence Jensen Charged
With Theft.
ARRESTED AT AMIGO
Sheriff Pabst Finds Beef and
Pigs Sold Here and
Stolen by Rodgers.

Charles Rodgers, found not guilty
by jury sometime ago of man
slaughter in connection with an auto
mobile accident when Clarence Jensen
was killed, has been arrested on new
charge of larceny of a truck on De-
cen!ber II, 1929. Rodgers was driving
BORROWED" truck at the time ne
struck Jensen who was riding motor
cycle, and in the new arrest, truck
also figures.
Rodgers was arrested Thursday at
Amigo, Wis, on a warrant from the
Racine Sheriff, after period of ten
days in which the Kenosha police and
sheriff's department have kept watch
on Rodgers home, 368 Grand avenue,
expecting his return here, in which
case he would have been arrested.
A Strange Case of Theft.
Rodgers, according to the complaint
made to sheriff Pabst by the Racine
sheriff, had on December IL, lasr
stolen an international ton and half
truck belonging to Earl Vivian of RAJ
cine county. Vivian is pork and beef
buyer, operating among farmers in
the county. Rodgers, it is alleged, stole
the truck, and loaded it with one half
of beef, three pigs, large canvas,
three beef and one horse hide.
He was suspected Of being the per-
son who had committed the theft be-
cause he had been working for Vivian
and did not return. The Racine sher-
if communicated with Sheriff Pabst,
and the latter found a number of cir
cumstances that apparently confirmed
the suspicion.
Find Pigs Sold Here.
By making inquiries about, Sheriff
Pabst learned that Rodgers sold, it is
said, a quarter of beef and a half a
hog here as we'll as canvas and
hides.
The sheriff went to the house TO
arrest Rodgers, but found that he had
gone north Whittier he was gone no
one knew, but it appeared that the
ghost squad" of the police depart
ment. had unwittingly FASTENED MS
departure in the following manner:
In the early morning of the
eleventh, and following the theft at
Racine, the ghost squad of the police
department stopped Rodgers as he
u1ONS up 70 HOuS0 III Tie IAGGTH1-
tional truck. The truck was then
loaded with beef, ETC., and the police
squad, which travels all night through
the city for the purpose of checking
up every suspicious looking person
and suspicious looking vehicle,
thought that the truck driven by Rod
gers before dawn looked suspicious.
They questioned him about the
truck, how it came into his possession
and SO forth, and Rodgers, known
to the police, had such good cline
that they let him go. At that moment
no word had been received from Ra-
cine about the theft which had taken
place there
When later in the day, word came to
Sheriff Pabst to arrest Rodgers, the
man was gone. Bulletins were sent out
Immediately from the sheriff's office
to other cities in the state, asking
that Rodgers be held, should he be
found, His arrest at Amigo Wis, is
the result
