Egan Will Assign Men on Auto Cases at Own Judgment. Secretary of State Perry has made a change in the re- Jations between the automobile de- partment and the state police. Here- ore, Rowe Wheeler, a state police- man, ' has been attached to the de- partment to attend to the special Worl of detecting violations of the wutomobile law, to asist in prosecu- tions. and to attend the hearings hold by the secretary of state. He was specially_assigned for this work | Py Themas F. Egan, superintcndent {0f the state ‘wolice.' In the future when the department needs the ser- vices of a state policeman, the super- ntendent will be asked® to assign a man and the selection will be left to his judement. Mr. Wheeler no longer occupies a desk in the auto- mobile department. he automobile of the department, ch was bought by the state for its use, will no longer be at the dis- posal of any member of the state nolice department, except by permis- on of the secrefary of state or his depu At present the car is in ridscport being overhauled.

In the fu- tire there will be no cash paid, but orders will be given on the state treasurer. This, in the opinion of Mr. Perry, is a more business-like way and he. thinks it will give great- er ‘satisfaction than the old system. At midnight Wednesday night the time for making application for 1917 markers expired. Recsipts _up _ to Wednesday amounted to $359,537.1 For the same time last year receipts amounted to $276.832.63, or an in- crease this year of _$82,704.48. Through the malil, the department has received 21997 orders and in | addition there Lave been 5216 per- sonal applications. These make 2 total of 27,213 orders. The de- partment has been able to send out {19,877 markers to those who or- {dered through the mail. This leaves 2,120 orders unfilled. In addition to these, however, there are sev- eral thousand orders for markers to {be delivered until April 1. The de- partment expects to finish up its work of filling orders for markers within a comparatively short time. The department states the protec- tion afforded owners of cars for using last year's markers extends only to those who had their appli- cation in the office before January 1 and not to those who neglected. sending them in.
