Reformation Iden Indorsed by Prison Congress-After Fight of Thirty Years. Washington, October 6.-After op posing for thirty years the efforts of American criminologists to induce the International Prison congress to in * dorse the principle of the indetermia ate sentence, which underlies the :'e formatory system, the European mem bers of the congress today yielded and resolutions advocating this system were adopted. The resolutions declare~d that the~ indeterminate sentence should be *ap plied to the mentally and morally de fective, and that it should also be ap * plied "as an important part of the re formatory system, to criminals, partly young delecates, who require refor mation and whose oiffences are du s' mainly to circumstances of an indivi dual character.'> The introduction of the system, it was provided, should be provided on the following conditions: Indivi'dual Treatment. "That prevailng notions of guilt and punishment are incompatible with the principle of the indeterminate sen * tence; that an individual treatment of the offender be assured; that the pris-I on board be so constituted as to ex cldude all outside influences and to consist of a commission made up of at least one representative of the mag istracy, at least one representative of the prison administration and at least one representative of medical science." It was declared to be advisable to fix the maximum duration of the sen tence only during such a period as it; might be necessary because of the. novelty of the institution and lack of experience with it. Foreign Delegates Won Over. h foreign delegates are said to hae been won over to the cause of the indeterminate sentence by observing its successful application during their ten days tour of the country prior to the meeting of the congress. Other important recommendations are: The extension of probation, with some central authority in each coun try' to exercise general supervision over probation work. The consideration of participation in criminal acts or agreements as an aggravating circumstance and the aug mentation of the power of the courts to increase the penalty for such of fences. Penal procedure for young delin quents different from that applied to adults, with especial care for the child's welfare, and with a view to keeping the child as far removed as possible from the atmosphere of f court or prison. Reformation Treatment. Reformation treatment, combined ' with a system of liberation and parole: ndrer suitable guardianship and sup-i ervision on advice of a suitable bo:: with special treatment for adolescent crimes su.ficiently long to permit of the full application of all possible means of reformation. Separate confinement as far as pos sible for prisoners awaiting trial and those serving short stences. Making parents responsible for the wrong-doing of their children; com pelling fathers to support their chil dren; allowing children to be taken from unfit homes and properly placed. A banquet was tendered to the for eign delegates to the congress tonight by the United States government, At- i torney General Wickersham repre senting the president. SALUDA COUNTY'S BOOKS. Report of Investigating Committee Charges "Careless Way of Do ing Business." Saluda, October 6.-The grand jury made its final presentment and report yesterday afternoon and was dis charged from further attendance upon the court. In the report of the spe cial committee, which is Indorsed by the body as a whole, complaint is made of the Condition of the tax exe cution hooks in the sheriff's office for the last two years. It is charged that his books are in an unsatisfactory coydition; that "the auditor or treas crer failed to show, when making up this book, on the executions whether th,,y were issued against real or per sonal property," and that by reason of tho "careless way of doing basl ,2s. the county has been losing money." Double Credits Received. It is further stated that "a numb-r of executions have been returned by the sheriff as partise holding receipts. some of these are correct amounting to $43.16 for 1908; the treasurer has been given credit twice for this amount, first in collecting the money and second a "nulla bona." The re port says that this amount has been refunded by the treasurer, and prn ceeds: "We believe-from this indiffer ent way of handling these executions the county has sustained other aid greater loses. Further examinations have satisfied us that for a number of years the treasurers have been re ceiving double credits on some of the executions." Claims Not Itemized. As to the supervisor's office the re port says: "We find a few claifns that have been entered and paid and not approved by the board. We find a number of claims made out agaist the county by different merchants that were approved, and paid and the accounts were not itemized. We are, therefore, unable to say whebher the prices paid for gods were reasonab!e We find in other claims the prices paid were more than the goods could imye been bought for at other places." Rewards Source of Loss. Complaint is also made . that the county has been paying too much t'.> persons who claim to have made ef riteffortsp-?pO HART Oshrdleut sh forts to capture escaped convicts or parties for whom warrants have been issued. It is charged that the county has not only offered rewards for the capture of escaped convicts, but has likewise paid extravagant expenses to parties claiming to have made efforts to capture such convicts. County's Indebtedness. As to the indebtedness of the county and its present financial condition th-e report says: "From the best informa tion obtainable from the books of the supervisor's office the county on the first day of anuary was owing $4 - 901 .67. The amount borrowed from January 1 to September 1 being $24, 276.76. Claims approved and paid amount to $14,323.13, leaving a debt of $14,554.54." The expenses of the chaingang and county home are placed at $12,000 for the 3ear 1909. The steward of the county hon'e is complimnented for the faithful perfor lrce of his duty, and favorab!e mee r tlcn is made of th. good work niow bei'g done on the "?ds by the ch-tin WATSON POSTPONES GIVING A DECISION Says Unforseen Complications Pre Tents Immediate Announcement in Regard to Federal Job.
