LYycHBuRG, VA, June Especial. IA
change in the United States Signal Office here
is reported that will assume larger proportions
of importance il it comes TO pass than would
ordinarily occur. j. n. Ryker has been in
charge Of the signal Office here since Septern-
Der. 1899, and by his voluntary work has done
much to improve the service here. He has
been largely instrumental in calling the atten-
ton of the Agricultural Department 90 the
importance of the weather reports to the
farming interests and the cooperation of the
State Board of Agriculture secured.
DIR. T.. A. Craighill, Of this city, who has
for years taken an active interest III the mat
ter, and who was appointed director OF the
State Weather Bureau by the agricultural
board. was seen by The TIMEs' correspond
ent at his residence this evening. He is In
state of indignation, and says that it will
be- a calamity to the State to have
Ryker removed at this time and that
he will not serve as director il he
is so removed DR.. Craighill has shown
his influence with the move to establish this
State service and he is naturally Disguised at
the likelihood Of change just rs the matter
has reached contamination. In view of the in
creased work in the office, by reason OF this
added service, all assistant was asked for. and
the request was ostensibly granted by the
appointment of |. G. Gardiner. who arrived
today To his own surprise. however. and that
of Sergeant Ryker, he found here his pro-
motion to a similar rank with that of the Off
Ger in charge. DR.. Craighll. judging by all
precedent in like matters pertaining TO this
department. takes it to mean that Ryker will
be removed. and hence his Indignation.
The weekly weather crop bulletins tele-
graphed THE TINES every Saturday night is
bent. Ryker is generally popular here The
observers are reticent as regards the report.

ROANOKE. Va, June Especial. Some

charges of neglect of duty from drunkenness
on patrol to carelessness in other directions

club wielders, including the chief. The force
