Michigan, the auditor-general re-
fuses to Mr.. Simpson the relatively
insignificant sum of $500 a year.
During the six years OF the War
ner administration preceding Mr..
Simpsons appointment as warden,
The prison had an annual deficit OF
9e1, 400. Since that time, the insti-
tuition has shown an average an
nual profit OF $4,000. In the fiscal
year OF 1915 the profit was $4,000,

much or more.
