WILMETT~ LIFE May 3, 1929 Board of Paroles Makes Big Saving of Taxpayers, Money Out of an appropriation of $1,362,000 voted by the state legislature for the work of the division of pardons and ' paroles two years ago for the twoyear period ending ] u ly 1, 1929, a total of $893,008.37 remain ed unexpended on April 1. This mea11s that approxi mately $800,000 or more than one-half of the entire appropriation will be turned back to the state. These figures were revealed by Hinton G. Clabaugh, of Winnetka, chairman of the pardon and parole board, in an a.ddress before the Chicago J ewelers' association at the Palmer house last week. "This deJ?ilrtment has the task of supervising the conduct of more than 4,000 convicts at iarge in Illinoi s on parole," said Mr. Clabaugh. "It i3 a large job. We had sufficient money to meet any contingency that might arise. We ar:e glad that no situation arose requiring greater expenditures. "It may surprise many of you to know that there are 960 men. and women in our two major prisons for murder, that our prisons hold 1,857 convicted ·o f robbery, 1,265 of burglary and 162 of assault to murder. Putting it another way, 69.9 of the total prison IJOpulation is made up of. persons con \'icted of crimes of violence. "It may also ·interes t you to know that in the last eight years 19,292 persons were sent to the prisons and re formatories of Illinois. Of these, 7,612 or 39.46 percent were from Cook county, while eight counties sent 57.15 percent and twelve counties 63.39 percent. "Between ] uly 1, 1926 and Decem her 31, 1928, a total of 10,553 cases, men and women seeking pardon or pa1 olt:, were reviewed.

Sailing just after the clOH of schools and colleges, these cruises have conaistently attracted younger people and families bound for a vacation together. They may be taken as a complete holiday in themselves (generous shore excuraions characterize the programs) or as a delightful new way toParia.

The very fact that the prison population is made up to an extent of 69.9 percent of persons convicted of crimes of violence might indicate that the 'tough ones' are not getting out. "And something els~-the population of the prisons of Illinois since July 1, 1926, has increased 27.11 P~.rcent. In' ten years the penal population at the three major institutions has increased from 3,052 to 7,442. The present population of Joliet, Chester, Pontiac, St. Charles, · Geneva and Vandalia is 9,103. That fact appears to prove that the business of crime is becoming more and more hazardous in Illinois." N. T.
