DETROIT, May 26.—The burning
of Father Charles E. Coughlin’s
original Shrine of the Little Flower
at Royal Oak, Mich , last March 17
Is being investigated as a possible
terroristic activity of the Black Le
gion in its fight against Roman
Catholicism, Prosecutor Duncan C.
McCrea said this afternoon.
“The burning of Father Cough
lin’s shrine is a definite part of our
investigation,” McCrea said. “We
have not, as yet, found anything
definite to connect the fire with the
legion, but we are pursuing our in
quiry in that direction.”
The original shrine, a one-story
Wooden structure where the radio
priest gained international fame for
his sermons against Wall-st brokers,
international finance and politics,
was destroyed early on the morning
of St. Patrick’s Day. Its loss was said
to be $30,000 but Father Coughlin
characterized its “intrinsic value as
Irreparable.”
Coughlin Not Available
At the time, the priest said there
Was no reason to suspect incendiar
ism. Reports of Royal Oak fire
officials bore out his contention that
the blaze resulted from defective
Wiring. Father Coughlin was not
immediately available for comment
pn McCrea’s announcement.
McCrea emphasized that his in
vestigation of the Black Legion’s
activities, which today had spread
to reports of bombings and arson
during recent months, had not turn
ed from other channels into that of
the shrine fire. But he added:
“It is one of those things we are
examining carefully.”
What his investigators had turned
tip concerning the Shrine fire, Mc
jDrea did not disclose.

NORMAL SCHOOL
LEADERS RESIGN
Quit After Dean Is Fired
in Probe of Alleged
‘Diploma Mill/
Central Normal College, Danville,
today had anew president, Dr. C. H.
Griffey, and anew registrar, Chester
Elson, a Danville high school
teacher, following an investigation
of charges that a former dean had
operated an alleged “diploma mill”
in the school.
Trustees have canceled the con
tract of Dean N. W. Pinkerton. The
resignations of President Waldo
Wood and Registrar Valentine
Pleasant have been accepted.
“The school board exonerates
President Wood and Mrs. Pleasant
from any alleged irregularities. Not
a dollar paid out for credits has
been paid into the school, declared
Otis E. Gulley, school board chair
man.
Dr. Pinkerton, who had taught
at Central Normal 10 years, could
not be reached but he is said to
have denied the charges in a state
ment to the State Board of Educa
tion and its investigators.
“All of my acts were done by and
in the knowledge of Dr. Wood and
sometimes at his demand. If any
credits were sold, I don’t know by
whom or for whom,” he is said to
have declared.
Seven Statements Claimed
Meantime, the teachers’ licensing
division of the Board of Education,
through Clarence L. Murray, direc
tor of teacher training, disclosed
that further inquiry into diplomas
and licenses issued by the school
would depend on the action of the
State Board of Education meeting
in June.
Floyd I. McMurray, state super
intendent of public instruction, de
clared that he believed not more
than 20 licenses of teachers were
involved, and that in only seven, or
possibly 10, had money been paid.
He said licenses of Central Nor
mal graduates would be studied as
they came before the licensing di
vision
Mr. Murray said that statements
had been obtained from seven stu
dents of the normal school, and that
in four of these it was alleged that
money had been paid for credits
which were not received or for
school work which had not been
done.
President Wood denied charges of
Dr. Pinkerton that he knew of the
alleged sale of credits.
Gov. McNutt said today he had
known of the Danville situation for
some time and had urged the State
Board of Education to “clean out”
the school.
“I think a thorough investigation
should be made of each case where
money Is alleged to have been given
for credits not earned. I do not be
lieve the licenses should be revoked
without a hearing,” he said.

Mounting anger seemed to point
clearly to anew period of dangerous
tension. Great Britain was spot
lighted once more as pursuing poli

Anger was expressed not only be
cause Britain put a cruiser at the
disposal of the Emperor, but at the
prospect, which Italians regard as
a. certainty, that with his arrival
London will become a focal point
for a campaign of anti-Italian
propaganda.
Under the surface, indications are
that Italian leaders are alarmed at

This means that the government

PAROLE PARLEY
Lack of Space, Employment
for Prisoners Held
Biggest Handicaps.
RECALL KUNKEL REPORT
Institution Heads Seeking
Means to End Idleness
Among Inmates.
BY TRISTRAM COFFIN
The two greatest problems
faced in the operation of Indi
ana’s six penal and corrective
institutions are lack of space
and useful employment for
prisoners.
These facts were disclosed from
the last available reports by institu
tion heads today, as the Central
States Probation and Parole Confer
ence opened in the Claypool.
Indiana State Prison, Michigan
City, with a total of 103 acres and a
planned capacity of 2300 inmates,
has a population today of 2466 pris
oners.
Statistical reports show that the
average inmate at the prison is a
previous offender serving a 1 to 10
year term, 30 years old, married and
having one child, unemployed, lit
erate with education up to one year
in high school and in good mental
and physical health. He is Ameri
can born of American born parents,
white, uses alcohol, smokes and left
home in his 'teens.
Os a total of 2417 prisoners ques
tioned, 1004 were first offenders and
1413 were “repeaters.” jDf the same
total 1491 pleaded guilty, 863 pleaded
not guilty and 63 pleaded insanity.
Os 892 prisoners questioned at the
Indiana State Reformatory, Pendle
ton, 256 were first offenders, 486
were re-committed and 150 had pre
viously been guilty of misdemeanors.
Although the average cronological
age of the 894 reformatory inmates
was 22 years and 7 months, the aver
age mental age of 885 was 12 years
and one month.
Annual Cost Per Man $230
Prisoners over 30, except those
convicted of first or second degree
murder or sentenced to life impris
onment are sent to the prison.
Those from 16 to 30 generally are
sent to the reformatory.
The average gross cost for a man
each year in the prison, which has
an average daily population of 2375,
is $230.66.
In his report dated June 30, 1935,
Warden Louis E. Kunkel of the state
prison said:
“May I once more urgently re
quest . . . that you exert every pos
sible effort to secure necessary ap
propriations for new buildings.
“The hospital for criminal insane
is not of sufficient size to properly
care for a rapidly increasing crim
inal insane population. At the
present time we have a number of
men who should be housed in the
criminal insane hospital, but lack
of quarters prevents.
“Idleness presents a continual
problem and, at the present time,
plans are being made to further
eliminate the hazard of idleness
among inmates.”
Population of the reformatory,
with a capacity of 1400, is 2146 to
day. At the Indiana. Woman’s
Prison, Indianapolis, it is 149. There
were 1006 prisoners at the Indiana
State Farm, Putnamville, June 30,
1935; the average daily attendance
at the Indiana Boys’ School, Plain
field, is 478, and at the Indiana
Girls’ School, Clermont, 271.
259 Paroled Last Year
The State Clemency Commission
in five sessions from January, 1935,
through January, 1936, was able to
hear 1742 cases. Os this number
259 were paroled, 150 commuted, six
pardoned, 17 paroled and fines re
mitted, one commuted and fine re

PRICE THREE CENTS
Law Will Permit Scientific
Attitude on Sentences,
Prof. White Says.
FAIR TEST IS ASSURED
Address Is Heard by 450
Delegates Present From
40 States.
BY SAM TYNDALL
Through the newly created
Division of Corrections in the
Indiana State Department of
Public Welfare, it will be pos
sible, for the first time, to
give scientific determination
of sentences a fair trial, Dr.
R. Clyde White, Indiana Uni
versity Social Research direc
tor, said today.
Dr. White, who has supervised
numerous surveys and studies on
crime and penal reform, was a mem
ber of the Governor’s committee of
experts who assisted in the drafting
of the new Public Welfare Act.
He spoke at the opening session
of the third annual four-day con
vention of the Central States Pro
bation and Parole Conference in the
Claypool.
More than 450 delegates repre
senting 40 states are in attendance.
The conference, to continue for
four days in the Claypool, is ex
pected to bring more than 450 dele
gates here to create co-operation
between states in probation, insti
tutional care, parole supervision,
and rehabilitation of probationers
and parolees in general.
The program, in charge of Philip
Lutz Jr., Indiana Attorney General,
is to be composed of addresses and
discussions on nearly every phase
of parole and probation.
Scully Opens Conference
George T. Scully, conference
president, and superintendent of
Illinois parolees, delivered the open
ing address at 10.
Mrs. Sarah Schaar’s Legal Aid De
partment Supervisor of the Chicago
Jewish Welfare, also addressed the
conference.
“Through the new Public Welfare
Act,” Dr. White said, “Indiana now
also has the machinery for a thor
oughly modern administration of
penal and correctional institutions
and agencies.”
He said that the new act makes
possible the employment of a tech
nical staff to determine the fitness
of a prisoner for parole and gives
the state department full power to
obtain good supervision.
Clemency Law to Be Used
Emphasizing the difficulties of
good parole work, he said that, “if
parole can be granted according to
scientific principles, as we now be
lieve it can, and if the object of cor
rectional treatment is to restore the
offender to society and make a good
citizen of him, then there should not
be any arbitrary obstacles to the
application of a scientific treatment,
such as fixed sentences.
“Under the Welfare Act there
seems to be a way of overcoming
this obstacle sufficiently to give
scientific determination of sentence
a fair trial. This can be ac
complished through the law relating
to clemency,” he said.
“The Governor has the power to
commute any sentence. The Divi
sion of Corrections is required by
the law to initiate proceedings look
ing toward commutation of sen
tences, after which the Commission
on Clemency examines the case and
makes recommendations to th®
Governor.
Treated as Patient
“What is proposed here is that
the State Department take as its
major premise regarding the offend
er, the proposition that he is a pa
tient and should be treated with
the same scientific acumen as an
insane person would be treated.
“When the offender is ready for
parole, he is released as a conval
escing patient and is supervised by
a battery of experts, with the parole
officer of the county acting as the
family physician.”
Prisons are necessary evils and
they should play as small a part as
possible in the life of any person
who is expected to return to society,
Mrs. Schaar told the conference. She
said that, as at present constituted,
the prison has only a negative place
in the treatment of crime.
Mrs. Scharr stated that the train
ing of a probation and parole offi
cer should include an ability to ana
lyze personality and to use such
analysis in treatment.
“It should include a thorough
knowledge of community resources,
educational, vocational, religious,
recreational, medical and the like,
and should include skill in integrat
ing these resources in the service of
the probationer,” she said.
In his address Mr. Scully con
gratulated Indiana on being the
first state to recognize the value and
necessity of compacts between states
for reciprocal supervision and after
care of probationers.
He urged that the convention
adopt a resolution urging the co
ordination and standardization
among the states of the many and
various state systems. He said only
14 states have adopted intersttuj
compacts.
