tions do not prohibit the wearing Of
silver chevrons by men who arrived
in the A. f. F. after serving more

MITCHELL TO STAY

and suggested remedial legislation for
recognizing tho depart mont. He said
he WAS willing t, veto the s1.7Oo.ooO APP

big divisions the Department of As"i'
cultur, and Department Of Farms and
Markets. II tho Legislature would pro-
vide for reorganization and pass a bill
making appropriation generously suf-
hcient for the reorganized depa rtment"
In this connection 1t became known
that John Mitchell, chairman Of the
Council Of Farms and Markets. a non
salaried office. and until recently chair
man Of the State Food Commission.
war organization which also was nom
salaried. and who Is also chairman OF
the State Industrial Commission. another
million dollar department, told the Gov
ernor to-day that he wanted to resign
all his State places and take a long
rest. Mr.. Mitchell is the former head
OF the United Mine Workers.
Gov. Smith refused to entertain the
suggestion that Me-. Mitchell leave the
State service entirely and 1t was agreed
that he retain his post as head OF the
Industrial Commission. but resign as
chairman OF the Farms and Markets
Council, continuing for the present as
one Of its members. This he did, and
w. Z. Dana OF Avon was elected chair
man, and Jonathan p. Day Of New York
vice-chairman. Gov Smith in his mes
sage declared the Council of Farms and
Markets lacks force and initiative and
seems to be chiefly concerned in the en-
forcement of regulatory statutes
AS cure, the Governor suggests the
Legislature pass a law giving the coun-
Gil power TO find "a man forceful and
able enough to reorganize the entire
department" and provide a salary "ample
enough to induce a man of the highest
attainments in these lines to take the
position"
Should the Legislature approve tho
Governors recommendation, 1t would
mean dismissal of Charles S. Wilson.
Commissioner of Agriculture. at $4,000
n year, and DR.. Eugene II. Porter, Com
missioner of Farms and Markets, at

Neighbors say there has been bad
feeling for some time between Mrs
Wansker and the Silverbergs. Mrs.
Waneker owned the house in which
they all lived. Their apartments on tho
second floor were separated by mar
row hallway and they used common

Wansker has had Silyerberg in court
four times ON various charges. She has
been complainant against others in
the neighborhood on half a dozen other
occasions in the past twelve months.
Three wee;s ago Mrs. Wansker sold
her house ia Louis solomon. Silverbers
promptly lea led the premises from him,
so that Ma Wansker became his tenant,
instead % his landlady. Silverberg had
