WOLVES NOT FEARED
Canadian Species are Declared Not
To Be Man Killers

Toronto, January 25.-lCorrespon-
dence Of The Associated Press.l-
Wolves are not man killers. This
is the unanimous opinion OF trap
pers contained in food of letters
to Toronto newspapers, following
publication of a report that there
was danger to live stock, and pos
sibly humans, along the northern
boundary of the United States be-
cause of the large number of wolves
driven southwark toward civilization
by a hard winter. The writer's con-
firm reports of the increasing num-
Der of wolf packs, but declare there
is no confirmation of attacks on
trappers and hunters.
w. It. Thompson, dealer In furs at
Ignace, replying to an inquiry about
a story circulated in December OF
the killing of two Indians and a
white trapper north of that place,
writes: 1--WE do not know OF this
here, as 1t is supposed to have hap
bened about seventy miles north,
but personally I do not think there
is anything in it. Wolves are very
mum erous around here, but l have
lived in this country for twenty five
wears and have yet to hear OF any
one being killed by wolves"
Tom Saville, trapper at Goeama,
in the Sudbury district, writes: II
never like to cast gloom on a good
story, but that one about the Indians
being torn to pieces is going too far
All these So called wild beasts are
scared stiff at the sight Of a man y
Saville tells about meeting pack
of about twenty, face to face in a
binding snow storms and adds:
"The leader, a big, grizzled, long
legged old chap, looked me over
from a distance of about twenty
feet; the rest of the pack ranged
alongside of him, their tails straight
out for Just about as long as it
takes to stiffen them with fear.
Then they broke; they Just fiatten-
ed out on the ice and few-twenty-
one Of them"

ST. LOUIS COUNTY
SCORED IN REPORT
Reckless Spenditure of
Moneys Is Claimed
SURVEY is MADE
State Public Examiner Brown
Publishes Result of Recent
Investigation
Associated Press Dispatch.l


st. Paul, February 7.-Extrava-
gance in expenditures, and lack OF
efficiency in the carrying on OF the
business of st. Louis county are
severely criticized IN a report pub
lished today by Garfield Brown
state public examiner. The report
covers the examination OF the af-
fairs of the county during the period
of February ], 1921 to June 30, 1922.
Although in no instance of alleged
illegal or irregular expenditures Is
the individual amount Of large pro-
portions, the aggregate OF these
minor sums brings the total 10
thousands Of dollars, the report
states.
The sheriff's office is the butt OF
tina most severe criticism, especially
regarding the method OF handling
the transfer of prisoners. 1t Is
charged that there were many dup
locations of expense in this Office by
deputy sheriffs or other appointed
officials.
Deputy Sheriffs Mentioned
The report states that the claims
of deputy sheriffs for travelling eX-
penses are poorly vouchered and
that many claims are poorly item
lied. Some Instances were reported
where the deputy on a trip with a
prisoner would charge hotel bills
and rooms, despite the fact that re-
ports showed he was back in Duluth
the same day.
In many instances, the report
charges. the sheriff charged for a
full days board for a prisoner when
il was evident from the records that
lad furnished only one meal
I'm some of these instances, the
county pays for the board OF the
came prisoner at either Hibbing or
Nirginia for the whole or fractional

URGED PRISON LABOR
.asc Automobile Association Would
Have II On Highways

Operation of rock crushing plants
by the state penitentiary through
hummer prison camps was urged by
a convention of the Minnesota state
Automobile association, attended by
l25 delegates from eighty automo-
bile clubs, meeting at the town house
of the Automobile club for Minneapo-
lis today. The resolutions commit
tee. which submitted the recommen-
dation, declared that such operation
would reduce the cost Of permanent
roads 25 per cent.
The convention also urged that an
automobile driver who fails to stop
and return to a person hurt by his
machine be made guilty OF a felony;
1t is a misdemeanor now.
Because Of fear that the jury trial
that would follow If driving while
intoxicated were raised to felony
would result in so many decisions
favorable to the driver, the conyen- :
ton freld justice would be better
served by leaving the classification
as a misdemeanor. But the conven-
ton urged that the municipal judges
exact the extreme penalty.

elected president and a member OF
the executive committee. Other OF
