PAROLES ARE VIOLATED. Lf OF GOOD EFFECTS ARE PLAIN Superintendent William IL Whittaker, of the Indiana Reformatory does not agree with the critics of the indeterminate sentence law who have been urging the repeal, or at least the amendment, of the law. Mr. Whittaker says the law as it stands and as it is being handled today is an excellent statute. Most of th6 attacks upon it have been based, he says, on a misunderstanding of the effects of the law.

Mr. "Whittaker. while In the city recently, gave figures from the records of the penal institutions showing that the attacks on the law have been unjustified. "It has been said that 27 per cent of the prisoners paroled from our two penal institutes; lapse lntov crime, said he. This statement is hardly fair to the law.

however. The records show that only 17 per cent of the prisoners at Michigan City violated their paroles during the year ending October Si, 1903, and 13 per cent was the record at the Reformatory. This makes an average of 20 per cent-for the two institutions. A carerul comparison of the statistics of the Reformatory in the last five years shows that good results have been accomplished in the reformation of criminals under the Indeterminate sentence law. and this should silence the criticism.

i Decreases Prison Population. "On October 1. 1898, the estimated population of Indiana was 2.451.8S4. On that date we had 92? men in the Reformatory, or 8.76 a thousand of the population. On October jl of the present year the population of Indlaina was estimated to be and on that date our inmates numbered 924, or 1.52 a thousand of the population.

But we are now receiving fewer men than we received five years ago. During the year ending October 1, 1838, there were received 605 men, or 2.47 a thousand of the estimated population of the State. But during the year ending October 1 1903, we received only 404 men, which snows 1.64 a thousand of the State's population. doubt that the general reason for this decrease is the Indeterminate sentence law itself. The confirmed criminal hates this law, because he knows that It lengthens his term of imprisonment The confirmed criminal, the man who has been sentenced again and again, is giving the State a wide berth, for he is well aware that if caught In this State and his record Is known society will be protected from him by his being compelled to serve out the majority oi his maximum term.

and often his lull maximum ternw- Men Who Keep Parole Not Heard Of. "It is true that the public always hears of the man who violates his parole who is only one out of five but never hears of the four who are making useful citi sens and are, in many cases, maintaining their which would otherwise be a charge upon the county for their "Another proof of the benefit of the In determinate sentence law is that men are now serving longer terms in prison and in our reformatories than they did under the old law. we have made a careful comparison, and find that the last three hundred men sentenced to Jeffersonville prison under the old law served an average of one year ten months and twenty-four days. The first three hundred men sentenced under the new law and ra roled served an average of two years two months and seventeen days. This does not count the year that the prisoner was out on parole and under the supervision of the board, which really makes his term three years two months and seventeen days." Funeral of Mrs.
