DORSETT LEAVES
ACLEARED DESK
Market Chief Goes Away on
a Speaking Trip and May
Quit; Sexton Resigns

E. B. Dorset. who has been acting
chief of the state bureau of markets
without receiving any money for sal
ary or expenses and who was passed
up by the State Commission of Agri-
culture when it confirmed other ap-
pointments yesterday. left Harrisburg
early to-day without saying whether
he was coming back. Mr.. Dorsett
cleared his desk. tore up old papers
and telephoned that he would keep
some speaking dates. He refused to
talk about the failure of the COM
mission to act on his appointment
after Governor Brumbaugh had urg-
ed it and when he had been given a
hearing. So did the members of the
commission. The Governor will not
talk, either
Friends of Dorsett say he was
knitted by friends of the Governor
and that personal animosities in the
commission shelved him.
The fact that Governor Brum-
baugh did not show enough resent
ment at the rejection of Dorsett to
demand some designations was much
commented upon to-day. The terms

man, and II. T. Moon, Morrisville. ex-
pire next year. but White has been
out of joint with the Governor ever
since the veto of the "bleached flour
bill. Lewis b. Sexton, Rome Brad
ford county, has resigned. but every
one on the Hill denies knowledge of
1T. NJ. l.. Bushong, of Quarryville,
chief opponent of Dorsett, is a friend
of Congressman w. w. Griest.
The whole situation growing out
of the Dorsett appointment, which
was made by the Governor himself
is one of the most remarkable ever
known on the Hill. Dorsetts assist
ant. j. Wallace Hallowell, Jr., Phila-
delphia, was confirmed as were Henry
L. Klugh, Harrisburg, chief clerk
Frank j. Williams, chemist, and Drs.
e. II. Yunker and John Graham,
pointments have never been heard
of and no statement as to where the
men hail from has ever been made.
+. Il. DCrsett represents a wing
in the Changers that is opposed to
the groups of A. Nevin DIETRICH and
John A. McSparran, one of whom
is part of the state government and
the other is much flattered by ad-
ministration men. These men have
never been for him. The bill Great
ing the State Bureau of Markets
was presented by Senator Sproul.
Dorsett comes from Mansfield, Tioga
county, and is a friend of f. A. Van
Nalkenburg. The opposition to Dor
sett among some of the members of
the State Commission of Agriculture
on personal grounds seems to have
fitted in very handily for some of
the people at the Capitol. 1t should

by Draft Ruling

Conferences are being held to-
day between draft officers, Captain

Borwn and Adjutant General Beary
regarding ruling by the Adjutant
General that state policemen are not
to be classed down the list of men

are executive officers, but must be
classed. as other men of draft age.
Under ruling by Mr.. Brown it was
held that the State Police were to
be considered executive officers and

them on those grounds. The effect
of the new ruling, say state officials,
will be to take many men of the
State Police. Protests will be made
to Washington.
