AUTO PATROLS
RtADYF0R SERVICE
Go Into Commission Tonight, Giving
City Finest System in Country
Valuable In Accident Cases. /

The six new auto patrols, for which
Police Commissioner Croui has been
impatiently waiting. are now all ready
for delivery and will 20 into service
at the various precincts. Saturday
evening. The commissioner II now
satisfied that the Detroit department
has q patrol system second to none
In the country.
With the advent Of the new autos,
there comes also system OF first aid
In accident cases. The effect OF this
will be practically to drive some AMI
bulance concerns out OF business. The
police machines will be placed SO
that one can get to any part OF the
city at short notice.
One important matter was decided
upon In connection with the new autos
In a conference between Coroner Bur-
CESS and the police commissioner. Sat
urday morning. There has been much
criticism because dead bodies OF acci-
dent victims have been permitted to
lie In the streets awaiting the arrival
of q coroner. The police are now en-
powered to remove the bodies and
place them In the auto patrol. The
patrol will then stand az near as pos
sible to the scene Of the accident
until the arrival OF the coroner. This
will prevent the gathering OF morbid
crowds to view the bodies.
There are now seven auto patrols.
The commissioner, II he follows his
present plan. will station two OF them
at the central police station. The
remaining Ave will be distributed
among the precincts.

thing was wrong with the motor but

the Wright brothers, owners of the
machine, afterward, they advanced
the theory that the drop was caused
by the aeroplane getting In the path

Mr.. tombstone also declared that
there was no danger while in the air
