the judgment of the American officials
dealing with the matter.
Assistant Secretary White said that
Haiti was bankrupt with a national
debt of $30O00,000 when the United
States went there in 1916 and that this
had been reduced to $l9,000,000.

Of administration policy toward Nicara-

situation.

President was anxious to get aid and
assistance of Congress to find way

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The skin of celebrity, that of
the notorious odd Wolf" cattle
killer extraordinary of Arizona,
was exhibited yesterday in the
House by Representative Leavitt,
Republican, of Montana.
The wolf caused damage to the
Western cattle raisers estimated
at $4,000 and so much concern
that after he was caught by a
Government trapper last De-
cember, ranchers held a celebra-
ton and took the trapper to
Phoenix.
The skin was fully six feet
from the nose to the tip of the
tail, and Leavitt said the animal
weighed about $50 pounds.
The old Wolf" the Montana
Representative added, would pull
down and kill at least two cattle
each week.

Fort Becomes Bird Refuge

A PRACTICAL turning Of swords into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks has
taken place on q 57,O00-acre reservation Of the
Federal Government in Montana. This tract
was formerly the Fort Keogh military reserva-
ton, but has been transferred by President
Hoover into the Fort Keogh Bird Refuge.
The refuge viii be operated by the Biological
Survey Of the Department of Agriculture.
Within the area set aside is an artificial lake
Of some 70 acres which is already being used
as propagation lake for rm-water fish such
as black bass. It win serve for a resting point
for water fowl in the future, and yet will not
lose its present value for fish production.
At present, In the 57-00o-acre tract, there
are large supplies of sharp-tailed grouse and
ring necked pheasant Other wild fowls are
expected to flock to the reservation when they
learn, as they do in some mysterious fashion,
that therein lies safety.
