By ROBERT F. GORMAN
Conditions almost unbelievable were
disclosed yesterday during the inspec
tion of dairy farms in the vicinity of
Harrisburg from some of which sup
plies of milk come to this city.
The inspection, made by officials of
the City Department of Health and a
representative of the Pennsylvania
livestock Sanitary Hoard, is only one
of the numbers on the program which
the local health bureau is carrying out
In a campaign to get better milk for
residents of Harrisburg and especially
the babies, whose foundation of life
Is pure milk.
Filthy cow stabler, unsanitary barn
yards anil impure water were onl> a
few of the things wliich the inspectors
found and which play an lni]H>rtant
l>art in the production of milk for the
consumers.
In the inspection party were Dr. J.
M. J. Raunick, city health officer, Dr.
H. Ridge, milk hygiene agent of
State Livestock Sanitary Board;
l")r. G. A. Zimmerman and Dr. Wil
liam V. Hughes, locftl'rood inspectors.
More than 125 miles of roads Were
covered during the day and this only
marks the beginning of a vigorous
campaign which will be waged against
careless milk producers shipping their
supplies to Harrisburg dealers. Yester
day morning farms and milk houses in
the vicinity of Linglestown, Penbrook
and Shoop'sChurch were visited. In the
afternoon the inspectors went through
the Cumberland Valley as far as Oak
ville. To-day's trip was made to an
other section of the valley.
Worst Condition round
The worst condition by far was
found yesterday morning between
Penbrook and Linglestown where the
tenant of the farm is now ill with a
very malignant form of typhoid fever.
The man until a few days ago when
he became confined to his bed, milked
the seven cows on the farm and pre
pared the milk for shipment to a deal
er In a neighboring borough who sup
plies great quantities of milk to Har
risburg where it has been advertised
as "pasteurized milk." Dr. Raunick.
however, when he visited the supply
house yesterday told the proprietor
that the milk was not pastuerized and

MAYOR ROYAL MAY
RUN FOR RE-ELECTION
Decision Handed Down at Wilkes-
Barre Permits Mayors to Suc
ceed Themselves in Office
If an opinion handed down yester
day by Judge Fuller, at Wllkes-Barre,

eligible i'or re-election as mayor of that
city, according to this opinion, written
by Judge Fuller, and handed down
yesterday directing that a pre-emptory
mandamus Issue to the county com
missioners compelling them to place
his name on the primary ballot as a
candidate for mayor.
The case was decided twenty-four
hours after It was argued. The de
cision represents the unanimous
opinion of Judges Fuller, Strauss,
o'Boyle and Woodward.

a commission form of government In
third class cities, supersedes the act
of 1889 regulating third class cities.
The act of 18h5» says the mayor of a
city is not eligible to re-election for t.ho

decides that this clause was repealed
by the act of 1913.

PLEBIAN BAKER PUIS
NOBLEMAN IN JAIL
Hat Reputed Member of Bulgarian
Royalty Arrested For De
manding SIOO From Him
ECHO OF TEMPTRESS CASE
Nothing But Trouble Since Noble
man Refused to Flee With
Best Friend's Wife
rfrark dn.yß, indeed, are these for the
nobility.
At least this is the opinion of Milan
Angeloff, said to be a scion ol' a Bul
garian royal family, who, it will be
recalled, declined to listen to the
wiles of a pretty temptress because
she was the wife of his best friend.
A few days ago Milan was in court,
a prominent witness in the suit of
pretty Streszio Kvanoff, one of the
prettiest girls in Steelton's prosperous
Bulgarian colony, against her hus
band, Spiridion. At that time Milan
testified that he had declined to give
ear to the plea of pretty Streszio to
flee with her to California —on account
of his friendship for her husband.
Many letters from Streszio to Milan
were read in court.
Milan, according: to his story then,
camp to this country May 22 in order,
it is said. to escape military service at
home. He was befriended by Evanoff,
whose wife later wrote the letters
which figured in the court case.
These letters, it appears, were car
ried from pretty Streszio to the no
bleman by Strezo Dirnetrof, a haker.
And it was Dimetrof. the plebian
baker, who is causing Milan's trou
bles.
Raker anil Nobleman
To-day the baker appeared before
Squire Gardner to complain that the
royal Milan had demanded SIOO from
him and made dire threats against
his life in the event of a noncompli
ance with his request. Not even to
a king would be give up a hundred
dollars, declared the baker, and he
didn't like to be threatened. There
fore, he appealed to the American
law.
Now. while his European brothers
are girding on their swords and pre
paring to march away to the battle
field. Milan Angleoff, said to be Milan
of the royal blood, is languishing
away behind staunch Dauphin county
prison bars, there to stay until the
baker's charges against him are set
tled.
Dark days, indeed, are these for the
nobility.
Rev. William H. Marshall
Gravely 111 as Result of
Stroke of Few Days Ago
The Rev. William H. Marshall.form

and Newvllle African Methodist Epis
copal churches is seriously ill at his
home, 629 Boas street. The Rev. Mr.
Marshall is suffering from the effects
of a slight stroke which he received
late Monday night and several physi
cians are constantly in attendance at
his bedside. Blood pressure of the
heart is causing the physicians grave
anxiety. At 1 o'clock this afternoon
it was reported at the Rev. Mr. Mar
shall's home that his condition was
slightly improved.
The Rev. Mr. Marshall is widely
known throughout this section of the
State although his work among his
people both as an educator and as
minister has been particularly notable.
For nine years prior to his appoint
ment two years ago to the Cumber
land county charges, he served as
Harris African Methodist Episcopal
Zion's pastor. He is now principal of
the Calder school Building.

The fall of Tjembers: is being fol

to l>e driving the Russians eastward,
while to the west the armies of Em

the country northwest of Przseyl, near
the Russian border, and as far noith

north and finally in the center before
the city.
Hostilities are continuing with vary
ing intensity along the whole Italian
front. An official communication from
Rome states that Austrian attacks at
several points were repulsed. The re
port mentions no further advances by
the Italians except for one small gain
and apparently the invasion of Austria
has been checked by the reinforce
ments brought in from the Galician
front.
The Turkish forces in the Caucasus,
Which rpcently have undertaken a new
offensive movement, are said to have
won a fresh victory. Announcement
from Constantinople says the Turks
