here read with interest today the
statement of Frederick l.. Perry, sec
rotary of state, made yesterday dur
ing his first hearing to automobil
who have been in trouble under the
motor vehicle law, under his plan to
sit in the several counties. He said
he would not be lenient to operators
who have violated the law which
governs the passing Of trolley cars
which are receiving or discharging
passengers, and, as for persons who
have lost their licenses for having
driven recklessly while under the in
fluence of liquor, he will not restore
the licenses unless reliable witnesses
are able to assure him that the sus-
pended person has changed his habits.
In one case Mr.. Perry wrote to the
pastor of a church to ascertain per-
sonal facts of an operator who was
asking for return of a license which
had been taken away because of
liquor.
Licenses will be suspended in cases
where the operator convicted in the
lower court for violation has APP
