Rotten Egg Law Violated. —Several prominent Pittsburgh business men and firms have been caught in the rotten eggs business through a cam paign which is being extended throughout Allegheny county by the agents of the dairy and food bureau of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

The prosecutions do not cover any of the cold storage agencies, but spread to the men and firms who have offered and stored consignments of liquid or canned eggs for storage. Odd Reason for Exemption.—Un less one of the district draft appeal boards in the western part of the state comes to the rescue, the book keeping and tax record svstem now in operation in the Auditor General's department is to go all to smash. One of the department clerks employed in this bureau of the de partment, residing in a western county, had the good fortune to be Crafted, and he passed the exami nation so successfully that he is in a fair way to wear Uncle Sam's uni form. and he has appealed to the district board to exempt him. If the board does not need his appeal, then it is to be laid at the board's door that it disarranged the State's finan cial system, that is, if the drafted clerk is to be believed. In his letter to the district board, claiming ex emption, he says: "The work done Mothers— Efffp?

Claimant Is thoroughly fa miliar with the syatem, which hu personally Installed, and over which he has supervision. The work done by claimant is of vast tlmportance to the efficiency and the successful administration of the department, und his training makes his service indlspenslble. The settlement system which he has Installed Is the key to the bookkeeping and tax record sys tem of the Auditor General's depart ment. He cannot be replaced by another person without substantial and material IOBS in the adequate effective operation of said Auditor General's department. His services are lndispensible for the reason that one of his assistants has already been taken from this work and is now in the military service of the United States. The department work would be seriously retarded and impaired If said claimant were taken, as it would require a long time to train anyone for the position, during which time the financial and analytical records would accumulate to such an extent that the department would materially suffer and be confused." Just whether the district exemption board will consider the claimant's petition for exemption as potent, the object being the saving of trouble for the State's financial operations, is to be determined. Auditor General Snyder does not appear to be worried over! the outlook, but has not been heard from as to whether he will Interfere to save the one "slacker on Capitol Hill whose services are indispenslble."

Gardner, who accepted the position of chief of the borough police, June 18, was dismissed last night at a special meeting of eight out of ten of the members composing the Steelton borough council. The vote on the dismissal of Chief Gard ner was unanimous on the part of the eight councllmen present. Council men Charles Relsch and Frederick Wagenbach. supporters of Chief Gardner, were unable to be present at last night's meeting. The reason assigned by Thomas J. Nelly, president of council, for the dismissal of Chief Gardner, was that it was "for the best interests of the borough." President Nelly also stated that council confirmed the ap pointment of Guy Behraan as patrol man and that Sergeant Hand was ap pointed temporary chief of police until the police committee could pick a successor to Gardner. Uppoaltloß Outspoken Opposition to Chief Gardner de veloped soon after he was appoint ed to the position. The first out spoken opposition came from Gard ner's literal enforcement of the new borough traffic ordinance in which the rich and poor exceeder of the speed limits, as provided for by this ordinance, were summed before Bur gess Wigfleld, and in most instances were fined. In Gardner's efforts to enforce this ordinance some of the most Influ ential men of the borough were caught and fined. It Is alleged that some of these very men opened war on Gardner through the police com mittee and his summary dismissal is the climax of their efforts. Other activities in which Chief Gardner figured was the raiding and closing of a number of vile resorts which have flourished on the West SUe unmolested for some time. Chief Gardner, when located this morning, declared ho did not know what charges were preferred against him at last night's meeting and the only comment he would make for publication was this: "Everv move I made In my police work has been with the intention of Improving con ditions in Steelton."
