~The latest argument against
the use Of oleomargarine or other
butter substitutes that has been
presented to the House Agricultural
Committee, is that it is fatal to
matrimony in the agricultural dis
tricts Of the country, where the wo-
men out number the men. The
use OF artificial foodstuffs is said to
work havoc with the arts. of house
keeping. and butter making is said
to be already one Of the lost arts on
account Of the usurpation of oleo-
margarine. The argument is novel
even if it is not conclusive. ).

CHIEF CROKER rs OUT
HEAD OF NEW YoRK'S FIRE DE-
PARTMENT DISMISSED.
Tried and Found Guilty on Several
Serious Charges-Scrambl
for the Office.

Edward F. Croker, chief Of the New York
fire department, who recently was tried
series Of charges, was declared guilty yes
terday by Commissioner Sturgis and was
dismissed fran the service, the dismissal to
take place on December /.
Chief Croker was found guilty on the
charges Of failure to enforce the require
ments Of law for properly safeguarding the
Park Avenue Hotel; Of 'the conversion of
public property to his private use," Of con
duct prejudicial to order and discipline in
prosecuting and unjustly discriminating
against certain members of the uniformed
force" and of conduct unbecoming an Off
Ger and a gentleman and prejudicial to good
order and discipline" On the charges of
'incompetency as chief Of the department
In the management of great fires and Of
sending false reports he was acquitted.
Chief Croker declined to make any COM
ment on the sentence, but it is known that
he will fight the matter to the end. On
being Informed of Commissioner Sturpts'
action, Mayor Low issued a statement sus-
| tanning the commissioner and expressing
| the belief that he had acted in accordance
with the law and dictates of conscience In
his statement Mayor Low says:
THE charter places upon the fire COM
missioner and not upon the mayor, the
duty Of conducting all trials in the fire de-
partment, and it Is the sworn duty Of the
commissioner to make his findings upon the
evidence according to his conscience 1t
| is due to the provisions of the charter itself
| that the commissioner has been obliged to
| both formulate the charges and to try
them. The circumstances in this case have
| been such that l have thought 1t incumbent
| upon the mayor TO assure himself that the
chief has had a fair trial, and that every
opportunity was given to him to make
| his defense in the fullest possible way Be-
| ing satisfied, as l am, upon these points,
| there seemed to be no reason why this trial
| should not take it's course like any other
| trial held by the commissioners. The dis
] cipline of the department, in fact, required
| that this matter should be disposed of in tn.

years of age. and has been connected with

Of Deputy Chief Purroy was not on the
heroic record" Croker was appointed.
Deputy Chief Purroy continued In his posi-
ton until August last, when Chier croker
obtained a leave of absence for rest. Then
Commissioner sturgis appointed Purroy act
ing chief of the department.
Meantime, Chief Croker decided to remain
in this city and attend the trial or Chief
Ryan of the bureau of repairs. The COM
missioner then suspended him from active
duty. Chief Croker said then, that 1t was
an attempt to force him out of the depart
ment. He took the matter to the Supreme
cided that Commissioner Sturgis had no
power to relieve the chief, and Croker was
reinStated.
