STATE CLAIMS EXEMPTION.
Trinder Needs All Instructors Posd-
 ble to Care for Trade Glasses.

Trinder Needs All Instructors Possi-
 ble to Care for Trade Classes.
 Ten instructors in the state trade schools have been included in the first draft and, it is understood. State Su- pervisor Trinder is already making plans to claim exemption for them on grounds of occupation. Professor Harry p. Vessels of the Vocational High school is one of the drafted men who came under the partial direction of the state and the state trade school authorities will probably ask to have him excused from service.
 One of the grounds that the state authorities will probably use in it's claim is that the United States gov ernment has asked that all trade and vocational schools be used to the maximum capacity in order to turn out skilled mechanics for war work and in order to successfully manage the schools experienced teachers are necessary.

TO MEET WITH FARMERS
Mayor Quigley Would Consult With AgTfclllturists About Potato Crop and the Price.

and the Price.
 In order to arrive at a definite understanding with the farmers Mayor Quigley stated today that with in the next week or ten days he ex- poets to call a special meeting of farmers and market gardners in this vicinity to take up the consideration of the potato crop and it's disposal. The mayor intends to explain to the farmers that the city potato crop. estimated at several thousand bushels, is not for the purpose of flooding the market and forcing the price down 50 low that the other producers will not make any profit, but rather to be used to stabilize the price and to foil spectators.
 The mayors idea is that if the price of potatoes this fall is pushed 50 low by an over production or the flooding of the market that the farmers can not make any profit they will re- fuse to plant them another year with the result that year from now the oity will suffer. It is to secure an estimate of the potato crop and to arrive at an estimate of a fair price that the mayor will call these farmers into consultation. He says he has al- ready spoken to several who favor the plan.
 Mayor Quigley also stated that ho has been advised that at the next meeting fthe council on Wednesday evening a resolution may be pre- sented asking that the council attempt to fix the price of the potatoes raised at the municipal farm. The mayor objects to such 8 measure and will advise that the matter be left entire ly in the hands of the food committee and the farm committed

CROOKED OFFICIALS
 WILL BE PUNISHED
CroWder to Prosecute New York
 Board Removed by President
BRIBERS ALSO IN DANGER

Naturalized Aliens Who Claim De
 pendents in Europe May Not Be
 Able to Secure Release from Sor-
 vice Through New Ruling.
 Washington, Aug. Members of the New York local selective board were relieved yesterday after an in Quiry into the manner In which dis charges from draft had been granted will be prosecuted, officials of the provost marshal generals office said today.
 Up to this time the New York in- cident is the only one where any Ques- ton as to the good faith of a local board has been raised. Officials said, however, that prompt steps to bring offenders to book will be taken on tho slightest suspicion of irregularity.
 Whatever action the New York board may have taken improperly in cases before it will be recti1ed before the district board. If 1t Is shown that fraud or bribery was employed to ob- tain a discharge from the old board both the board members and the in- dividuals will be liable to prosecution and 1t was indicated today that the government would seek to make such cases an example against future att tempts to evade the draft law.
 Case of European Depemdan4s.
 Officials have in preparation a sup plemental ruling as to discharge for registered men. mostly naturalised aliens. supporting relatives in Europe
 The difficulty is that afhdavits re- quired cannot be obtained from any foreign country in the time allowed. This has made necessary . ruling to establish a policy.
 Indications are that discharges will not be granted in many cases of this kind. For one thing, oflcials say, the soldier will have $25 a month at least to contributte to his family during his service in the army. That is more than the average foreigner sends home. It can be argued also, that because of the war situation the American dollar has almost doubled it's old purchasing power abroad.
 Behind all this, however, is tho fact that the interests of the country are paramount. The authority to grant discharge for dependents was moor porated in the act to prevent such dependents from becoming public charges of the United States if the bread winner were taken away. No family in Europe can become a pub lie charge on the United States and it was thought likely officials would not go behind that fact as the interest of the individual Is not involved, but only the interest of the government.

Dr. spahn Not Seeking Reelection.
 Berlin, Aug. 10. via London, Aug. ll.-ls the Catholic centrist party re- ceding from its attitude, taken in re- spect to parliamentary reforms in tho course of the recent cabinet cr4sis? This query has been suggested bv the decision of Dr. Peter Spahn, leader of the party in the Reichstag, not to seek re-election to tho ReichstaH, which conclusion has been forced since accepting the post of Prussian minis ter of justice. With that appointment his mandate in the Reichstag auto matically expired by constitutional provision, but he is privileged to so before the voters and seek re-eleo- tion.
 In section of the press and in his own party 1t was taken for granted he would continue as party leader in the Reichstag as his reelection was as- sured. Gernania, organ of the cen- trist party. is now authorized to an- nounoe that Dr. Spahn will not be Q candidate. This has removed ono of the parliamentarians from the Prus- sian ministry and Bundesrath, as Dr. Spahn in the capacity of minister of justice, also qualified for membership Tn tho federal council.
 His action for tho time being makes it unnecessary to change the imperial constitution, which does not permit simultaneous membership in the Bun- desrath and Reichstag and also pos session of the Reichstag mandate while holding a governmental position. Dr. Schiller. one of the national lead CTS who has been appointed under secretary of the imperial finance min istry, also will not seek reelection to the Reichstag.
