BIG MONEY MADE IN FRAUDS One Huckster Gets Pay for 3,89 Bushels of Potatoes, Actually On- ly 2,200—Only 12 Counties Have Appointed Sealers. MANY ind tricks of dealers the ordinary life have of Bret Harte back wall of creation in their communities as upright citizens, who sell bread, meats, fruits, vegetables and the other things that people eat every day, have been found to be most dishonest and unscrupulous in weigh- ing and measuring their wares when they deal them out to customers, and they are inclined to resent the charge when they detected. All this can be proved hy James Sweeney, the di- rector of the new division of weights and measures established by the last legislature. Mr. Sweeney has been in office than a year, and yet his discoveries of rank robbery, cheating and rascality are appalling. Thus far but 12 counties have ap- pointed sealers—Elk, Northumberland, Delaware, Cleartield, Crawford, Pot- ter, Schuylkill, Fayette, Luzerne, Un- fon, Lebanon and Lackawanna. But 10 cities have appointed men to see that the provision buyer is not swin- dled In weight and measure—Harris- burg, Pittsburg, Altoona, Meadville, McKeesport, New Castle, Wilkes- Barre, Bradford, Lock Haven and Scranton. Five boroughs, under an old law, are provided with detectives of the kind mentioned—Sharon, Van- degrift, Danville, Donora and Green ville. are dark thousands ive that that vain," in Pennsylvania who foods required to the heathen Chinese pinned to the Men regarded good, honest, “For w are sell sustain are less Slow to Co-Operate. All of the others have been Invited to come In; some say they will, some are hesitating and some are indiffer- ent; but they will all be glad to get under the law's protection in time, and appoint sealers of weights and measures, for the public will demand protection, and will not be satisfied until it gets it in the matter of the purchase of food. As showing the methods the dealer cheats the purchaser, Di- rector Sweeney has procurefl from various sections of the state a coflec- tion of weights and measures that have been condemned as defective, and has placed them on exhibition In his office at the State Capitol at Har- risburg.
