Population of Two State
Penal Institutions Prove
Point.

Ninety-two per cent of the mis-
demeanor commitments in two In
diana penal institutions for the ifs
cal year ending Sept. 80, were per-
sons born in America, and so per
cent were native HooSiers, accord
ing to statistics compiled by John A
Brown, secretary of the state board
of charities.
Only 518 out of total Of 6,527
were foreign born.
These figures indicate that even
the idea that most bootleggers are
foreigners" is entirely fallaciouS
For there were 3,443 commitments
for violations of the liquor laws.
1893 Less Than 20 Years
Out of the total of 6,527, there
were 1895 white and 1912 Negro, as
the tabulation shows.
The correctional department of
the Indiana woman's prison here
received BIT commitments and the
Indiana state farm at Putnamville,
$3.50.
There were 799 less than 20 years
old, 3,743 from 20 to 30, 1875 from
30 to 60 and 200 more than so.
Figures refer to the number of
commitments rather than the num-
Der of different persons, some of
whom were repeaters.
OffenseS Are Varied
Offenses Of which these men and
women were found guilty were as
follows: Criminal attack 6, robbery
81, assault and battery 562, burglary
SO, forgery SO, larceny 1,245, sex Of
lenses, except criminal attack "a,
violation of liquor laws 3,443 and all
others, including violation of city
ordinances, 1,105.
AT the close of the fiscal year,
there were 1880 men and women
actually present in the two institu-
lions. There were 1926 men at Put
namville and lis women at Indian
apoliS.
In comparison with the year be-
fore this was decrease Of 1873 pres
ent on Sept. 80, but an increase of
288 in the whole number of COM
nitmentS.

and in SO far as Is known at this time
the Coast Artillery arm Of the service

The Field Artillery will not be repre-
sented at Camp Perry next year by an
