For the past week a survey of the
peach crop has been made and many
growers have listed their supply with
the bureau of markets for disposal.
It is the purpose of the bureau to
bring the consumer in direct touch
with producers and th first quota
tions issued to-day cover the peach
crop. They are;
One hundred carloads of two-inch

The bureau of markets has made
an exhaustive survey of the potato
crop conditions and advises farmers
not to hold potatoes too long, if they
are offered a fair selling price. The
crops of other states are being held
and there is danger that outside sup
piles may be shipped into the state
later and cut down local prices. It
is the vice of the bureau, the De
partment of Agriculture and the food
committee of the Pennsylvania Pub
lic Safety Committee that farmers
should market a fair percentage of
their crop at once if they are able
to obtain fair prices.
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.
Twelve prosecutions were to-day
ordered by Commissioner Foust, who
declared that he would break up the
rotten egg traffic in Pittsburgh if an
aggressive campaign and repeated
prosecutions would bring the guilty
ones from cover. 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

by claimant la of a technical char
acter, to which he Is especially
trained. 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

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CHIEF GARDNER
IS DISMISSED
Eight Councilmcn Fire For
mer Justice From His Job;
Best Interests of Borough
Thomas V. 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."
Councilman MoEntee, chairman of
the borough police committee could
not be located this morning. Qulncy
Bent, general manager of the Steel
ton and Lebanon plants of the Beth
lehem Steel Company was out of
town to-day and no comment on coun
cil s action could be secured from
him for this reason. Mr. Bent is
greatly interested in maintaining
grpod order in the borough and it is
"i SC. he recently compliment
ed Chief Gardner on the great im
provement in this direction, since
Gardner assumed office.
