GRIFFITH ARGUES
FOR PAROLE PLAN
Secretary Prison Reform League
Speaks Against Opinion of
Chief Galloway
RECORDS SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Work Done by New Organization
Is Declared to Have
Been Beneficial
Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, secretary
and treasurer of the Prison Reform
league, has entered an emphatic pro
test to the statements credited to
Chief of Police Galloway and Captain
of Detectives Paul Flammer, both of
whom were reported recently by a
local paper as expressing the opinion
that paroles were being granted too
frequently. He considers the chief's
declaration that "76 per cent at least
of the holdups and attacks on women
are committed by paroled men of this
and other states" a mere guess, one
that does much injustice, and one that
Is directly contradicted by all the evi
dence at his disposal. To a Herald
representative he expressed nimßelf
"Apart from the indisputable fact
that the attitude of the police and of
society at large toward the released
convict too often forces him once
more into crime, there Is every reason
for supposing that the man released
on parole will make a genuine effort
to lead an honest life. In the first
place, he, is not released until employ
ment for him has been found, and this
In Itself Is a most effective precaution.
Indeed, the difficulty of guaranteeing;
work for unknown, friendless men
often deprives prisoners of a privilege
to which their record entitles them.
ADVANTAGES OF PAROLE
"In the second place, men released
on parole have to report at regular
and short Intervals, and are thus
constantly under supervision. In the
third place, the fact that in this state
the prisoner, or his friends, must raise
a sum of fully $60 before release can
be obtained constitutes a powerful,
and frequently a most unjust check on
too exeat laxity.
"The clippings of the Prison Reform
league show an almost practical unan
imity of opinion throughout the
country in favor of a generous exten
sion of the parole system. Last year's
annual report of the state parole
agent was most encouraging, for it
etated that only 10 per cent of T77
prisoners paroled had failed to make
good The men paroled had earned
$521,642 and saved $115,166. Many were
supporting once more their famllie*
and dependent relatives.
"Com.menting on these figures in the
early part of this wear, Mrs. Hester
T. Griffith wrote The Herald that one
of the prison directors had informed
her that only 1 per cent out of the 10
per cent reported as having failed to
make good had been returned to prison
for actual crime.
CANADA'S FAROMS RECOItD
. "Similarly last year's congress of
the American Prison association re
ported that in Canada the parole sys
tem had received a most generous ex
tension during the past ten years;
that during that period 2515 prisoners
hade been released before the expira
tion of their regular terms; that less
than 5 per cent of the licenses granted
to paroled men had been canceled for
non-compliance with the terms of the
parole, and that of these cancellations
less than 2 per cent had been for per
petration of crime.
"The further fact that the entire
Subject was examined recently and
most exhaustively by congress, fol
lowing which a bill extending the pa
role system to federal prisons passed
the house of representatives with the
almost unanimous approval of the
press, Is deeply Ruggestive. I submit
that such a body of evidence as I
have briefly sketched is a far more
reliable guide than the haphazard ut
terance attributed to our chief of
police."
HANDCUFFS FAIL TO HOLD
INMATE OF COUNTY JAIL
F. McNutt, Charged with Wife
Desertion, Slips 'Bracelets'
The county Jatl has an Inmate who
cannot be handcuffed, the authorities
claim. He la F. McNutt, formerly a
deputy constable, who was bound
over to the superior court under a
$1000 bond Tuesday at Rolin on a
charge of wife and child desertion. Mc-
Nutt came to grief, It Is claimed,
through an affinity. Deputy District
Attorney McComas prosecuted the
case.
McNutt astounded the Rolln con
stable while en route to Los Angeles
yesterday by deftly unlocking the
handcuffs from his wrists while the
constable was gazing out of the oar
■window. They were quickly replaced,
but hardly had the officers taken their
eyes from him than he had shifted
them from Uls wrists and politely
handed them back with a cool "Here'«
your bracelets."
McNutt, because of his talent, Is In
one of the n.ost closely watched wards
of the county jail. He will be guarded
when he goes to his trial In the supe
rior court.
BOY ON BICYCLE INJURED
BY CRASHING INTO CAR
Kenneth Goodman, 15 years old, Bon
of H. H iwo'lman, a realty dealer, was
seriously injured yesterday morning at
Pico and Wilton streets, when he col
lided with a Pico Heights car of the
Los Angeles Railway company, while
riding on his bicycle. He suffered sev
eral lacerations about the face and a
contusion of the left arm. He was
take,n to hia home at 2415 West Twenty
third street, where he is being attended
by Dr. 13. S. Reynolds.
Kenneth and a boy companion, whose
name was not learned by the police,
were riding their bicycles along the
street. The car was standing still, and
when the boys rode patt It Kenneth
was forced to turn out of the way of
an approaching vehicle, and ran Into
the car.
RAILROAD HEAD DIES
MADISON, Conn., Sept. 28 —John G.
Parker, secretary of the New York,

Municipal Affairs
WILL HOLD CONFERENCE
ON SAFETY OF PUBLIC
Utilities Board Will Discuss Peo
ple's Protection from Rail
way Accidents
The first conference at which safe
ty devices for the the protection of
the public from transportation sys
tems will be held Monday afternoon
in the rooms of the board of public
utilities. Arrangements for such con
ferences were made several months
ago, but various matters have inter
ferred.
Representatives from all the steam
and electric roads in the city, as
well as city officials, will attend the
conference. These representatives
are H. B. Tltcomb, district engineer
Southern Pacific; H. C. Phillips, chief
engineer Santa Fe; E. M. Jessup, en
gineer Pacific Electric, G. E. Newlln,
attorney, Los Angeles Pacific; G. J.
Kuhrts, chief engineer Los Angeles
railway, and S. M. Hasklns, attorney,
Los Angeles and Redondo railway.
The discussion will be chiefly de
voted to protection at river crossings
and the matter of separation of
grades in other parts of the city will
be under consideration.
Conferences have also been arranged
by the board of public utilities with
representatives of the Los Angeles
railway on the cross town car line
that has been asked for on Alvarado
street, but which has been made out
of the question by the action of the
council in making Alvarado street a
boulevard.
Meyer Lissner, president of the board
of public utilities, said yesterday that
it looked very much as If there would
be no cross town car line, as there
would be a strong protest against
building such a .line in Vermont and
Western avenue is too far away. Other
north and south streets have not
been considered.
FIRE COMMISSIONERS MAY
DEAL IN PYROTECHNICS
Question of Protection of School
Promises Lively Debate
Fireworks are likely to be seen at
the meeting of the fire commission
this morning, for Commissioner C. O.
Hawley is not at all pleased with the
opinion that Emmett Wilson, deputy
city attorney, is expected to give in
connection with fire protection to the
school houses. It is expected that
Mr. Wilson will advise the board that
as rII the school buildings are of class
"D" construction, which permits of
frame buildings, the board of educa
tion is not required to exercise the
care that the fire commission consid
ers it should. He will probably advise
that the building ordinance will gov
ern cases of faulty exits or insuffi
cient stairways and that structural
arrangements may be demanded to
comply with the ordinance.
One interesting phase of the con
troversy between the fire board and
the board of education over school
house fire protection Is that Mr. Wil
son is also the deputy city attorney
assigned to the school department.
To fill up the gaps in the city's laws
where they affect schoolhouse protec
tion It Is probable that the fire com
mission will ask the council to pass
an ordinance requiring certain meas
ures to be taken for fire protection.
In addition to the schoolhouse mat
ter N. Banks Oregler, who has Just
completed the Cregier signal sstem In
the University district, will make
charges against certain employes of
the bureau of fire alarm, whom he
accuses of interfering with him in his
work, and trying to make his system
ineffective for the benefit of the Game
well company.
COUNCIL MAY RECONSIDER
STORM DRAIN PROTESTS
Gloom In thick chunks hung over
the board of public works yesterday
because of the action of the council
Tuesday In sustaining the protest
against the Alameda street storm drain.
The board, especially W. H. Humph
reys, had counted strongly on denying
the protest because the council's action
on this matter Is expected to settle the
storm drain question for the future.
It is possible that Mayor Alexander
will address a communication to the
council suggesting that the matter be
reconsidered, as he believes the pro
posed storm drain is a public necessity
and should be constructed. Several
members of the council who voted to
sustain the protest concluded yesterday
that they had made a mistake and
would vote the other way If it was
again brought up for consideration.
REPORTS ON PAVING WORK
In a report to the board of public
works yesterday City Engineer Ham
lln stated that the proposed paving
of Vermont avenue between Santa
Barbara and Slauson avenues was de
layed for the establishment of the of
ficial grade and the question of dedi
cation. He said it would be more than
a month before the official grade
could be finally established.
DENIES CITY'S CLAIM
A. J. Copp, Jr., denied with some
vehemence that the Copp building
projects on city land one foot, in a
communication he sent to the council
yesterday. He says he will resist any
attempt on the part of the city to
use the south wall of the Copp build
ing as a party wall for the proposed
city hall annex.
PAVING TO COST $125,000
The assessment district for the pav
ing- of Wilshire boulevard was ap
proved yesterday by the board of
public works. The pavement is to
extend from Park View avenue to the
old west city boundary, a distance of
two and a quarter miles. It will cost
about $125,01)0. /

News of the Courts
WILLS ESTATE MUST
DEFEND NEW SUIT
Complicated Transaction In
volved in Action Brought
by Robert Finney
Miss Madeline Frances Wills, recent
ly sued in the superior court for a
share in the $500,000 estate left by their
parents by her brother, Dr. W. Lo
Moyne Wills, was made a defendant
yesterday in an action filed with the
county clerk.
It is a tangled Affair and is the
action of Robert Finney, as trustee for
Harry Finney, who, according to the
w|ll of Ann Eliza Finnoy, Is her heir,
against Miss Wills and Louise E. M.
Brainerd, as executrix of the estate of
Mrs. Charlotte L. Wills, widow of
John A. Wills, the latter two being the
parents of Miss Wills and her
physician brother.
The complaint recites that John A.
Wills, according to his last will and
testament, made December. 21, 1891,
devised a trust fund of $4000 to his
wife, Charlotte A. Wills, to be In
vested In some safe company for the
benefit of his sister, Ann Eliza Finney
of Marysvllle, N. T. The Income was
to go to her during her lifetime, and if
it did not equal $300 a year the hus
band made It a charge upon his wife
to give his elster enough to make
the interest on the trust fund total
that sum.
It Is asserted that Mrs. Charlotte
Wills converted the sum her husband
desired to be a benefit to his,' Sister
to her own use, utterly disregarding
his Instructions for Mrs. Finney's
benefit and his desire that after her
death the $4000 was to be bequeathed
to her children.
The complaint in the present case
asserts that Mrs. Finney died April 3,
1905, and that the claimant in vain
has applied to Miss Brainerd for what
he asserts is due the person for whom
he acts as trustee.
Alleging that Mrs. Wills left her
daughter, Miss Wills, property in Los
Angeles valued at more than $300,000,
the plaintiff asks the court that it be
solfl to satisfy what he declares Is due,
according to John A. Wills' will.

Fredericks, Frank W. Blair, deputy
district attorney; E. J. Fleming, for
merly deputy district attorney; H. J.
Butterworth, clerk in Judge Willis" de
partment of the superior court; Louie
Sontous, Jr., and other defendants,
who number in all thirty-nine.
