Eighteen Vessels at Market Wharf

Quite number of watermelon Lad en-

in the docks at the wharf market. 1t
was estimated that they had aboard
about 10000 melons, the largest num-
Der that has been at the wharf at one
time for week or longer. The return
of warmer weather has increased the
demand for the fruit and yesterday
they were selling at s1s per hundred
for selected melons. Reports received
from the melon-p producing country
state that good melons are becoming
rather scarce, though it will be three
weeks or longer before the water
melon season will be over.
Many of the vessels now employed in
running melons will return to their
home points to overhaul and make
ready for oyster running to this city
and Baltimore. or to start dredging
service when the season opens in the
middle of October.

EXPLAINS THE REMOVAL
OF POSTMASTER CLARK
Head of Post Office Department
Gives Reason for Change at
Silver Spring, Md.

A statement was made public today by
Postmaster General Burleson in answer
to number of inquiries concerning the
recent removal from office of the post
master at Silver Spring, Nd. The state
ment is as follows:
THE increased volume of postal bust
ness makes it necessary to exact of post
masters careful handling Of accounts, so
as to avoid confusing private and public
funds and to protect the revenues.
The unsatisfactory conduct of many
postmasters in this regard has made it
necessary to change officials in a num-
Der of instances recently, even when
the honesty of the official was not
questioned. Among these is Silver
Spring, Md, where the son, Oliver H.
P. Clark, has been superseded by his
father, Oliver B. Clark.
Silver Spring Is Senator Blair Lees
home post Office. and he alone has been
consulted with regard to the appoint
ment. Mr.. Oliver B. Clark. the
incumbent, is man of integrity and
good reputation in the community. and
will give the Office his personal atten-
ton. and the patrons of the Silver
Snrine Office are therefore assured of
the very best postal service"
