Say Situation Is Improving.

Officials of the bureau, in admitting
shortage of clerical assistance. say
that the situation is improving and the
work should be caught up within two
weeks. Congress has been asked by
the Commissioners to provide this de-
partment with four additional clerks,
as the present force. it is claimed.
is too small to meet the demands made
upon it.
Prior to Januarys1, when the new law
went into effect. a daily transcript of
licenses issued YVES sent to the police.
This practice will be continued and the
police would now be furnished with the
names of all those who have procured
licenses, but for the fact, it is claimed,
that the Office personnel has had more
work on it's hands than 1t could dispose
of. Clerks have been loaned from two
departments but this additional as
sistance was not sufficient and other
temporary clerks could not be obtained
for the reason that more than one hum
bred available employees in the District
building, or practically all that could
be spared from their regular duties,
have been pressed into service for the
draft.
21,OOO Licenses, 1900 Permits.
Since January / the bureau has issued.
in addition to approximately $1,000 auto
mobile licenses, nearly 1900 operators
permits, each of which required the
making out of an affidavit by some MEM
Der of the bureau personnel, and about
2150 miscellaneous licenses. Total re-
ceipts thus far are in the neighborhood
of 100000, and additional business to
the amount of 500, 900 is expected to De
done before the end of the present fiscal
year. -
In a single day the bureau has issued
as high as 1,200 automobile licenses. and
the time of at least two clerks, it is
said. would be required to furnish a
transcript of a days business of this
size to the police department. The Ii
cense bureau also is charged with keep
ing a record of all Intoxicating liquors
brought into the District by common
carriers, and other duties.

By the Associated Press. ....
NEW YORK, March 2. - William

were Gov. Whitman, Gov. Earl Milliken
of Maine and William L. Ward, repub-
Iican leader of Westchester county.
"Mr Barnes simply called to pay his
respects" said Mr. Hays when asked
about this meeting with the former
state chairman. "Our chat was most
satisfactory. as was also my talk with
Mr.. Ward of Westchester COUNTY.
Invited to Convention.
Gov. Milliken of Maine called upon

his state. and urged me to attend the

1 may be of service to him.
Senator Calder Is Host.
New York city republican leaders
made the acquaintance of Mr.. Hays at
a luncheon rendered by United States
Senator William Calder of New York
here today. Newspaper men were ex-
cluded, but Senator Calder declared the
affair was planned for the one purpose
of having the local leaders get in
touch with their recently chosen leader.
Senator Calder said Chairman Hays
favorably impressed republican con-
gressional leaders during his recent
visit to Washington and expressed con-
fidence that the party would unite
under his leadership.
Lafayette B. Gleason, secretary of the
New York state republican committee.
and James B. Reynolds. secretary of

new METHODS Herr:
AID TRAIN TRAFFIC

Further provisions to care for the
greatly increased number of travellers
at Union station were reported last
night by George R. Loyal, District traffic
administrator, to Director General Nc
Adoo
The magnitude of this increase is in
Dictated by the figures on ticket sales
contained in Mr.. Loyal1's report. These
sales for February, 1918, were 1885
per cent greater than those of Febru-
airy, 1917.
The aggregate sale of tickets for the
past month was s771,5S5.4s. as COM
pared with s337,sss.se for February a
year ago.
Further figures of the use of the sta
ton in the past month showed that an
average of more than 5000 persons
were served meals in the terminal
restaurant each day; that 15S,521 pieces
of baggage were checked during the
month; that $4,000 tons of mail were
handled; that ss.74s packages were
checked at the parcel room, and that
5O5,369 gallons of milk were handled
through the baggage department.
Changes in Operating Methods.
The changes made in the method .of
operation, supplementary to those an
nounced in January. to further facili-
tate the prompt handling of passengers
follow:
Punching of tickets at the gates
when transportation is being examined
by the gateman has been discontinued
to avoid crowding at the gates and to
ENABLE passengers to reach trains
promptly.
A check stand has been established
at the restaurant, where passengers
may be relieved of their handbags and
wraps while dining.
Better supervision of the red cap por-
ter service has been established, with
a view to the proper distribution of the
men.
Automatic parcel lockers have been
placed in the eastern side of the con-
course, where passengers may check
their own parcels, if desired, rather
than at the regular parcel room, on the
west side of the concourse. Other i'm
provements in parcel checking are con-
|templated.
Mr. Loyal also reports that out
bound trains. excepting those delayed
by waiting for connection with incom-
ing trains. now are leaving the station
100 per cent on time

Business Heavy; Help Short.

\ vast volume of business and a
shortage of clerical help are cited by
District officials as the reasons for the
conditions complained of and they ask
the cooperation of motorists in OBJ
tanning an appropriations from Con-
gress to secure adequate clerical help
to man the automobile license bureau.
1t is pointed out by officials that
licenses have been issued to about 21,-
O00 owners since January 1. The police
have been furnished with the names of
only about one-third of the number.
Cards containing the names of owners
and numbers of their cars which are
fled as permanent record, 1t is eX-
planned, have been only partially as
sorted and arranged alphabetically by the
license bureau.

COMP LAIN Of T|E-UP
IN LICENSE BUREAU
Owners of Stolen Autos Hand
icapped by Delay in Get
ting Tag Numbers.
HEAVY RUSH Of BUSINESS

Automobile owners who have had
their cars stolen recently are complain
ing that conditions in the automopiie
licensing bureau make a decided handl-
cap to the police in the recovery OF the
machines.
/ A recent case is cited to show that
ASSASSINATION caused a delay of at least
. two days before the police were able
properly to look for the stolen ma
chine.
The automobile in question was stolen
on the eve of holiday The owner did
not know the number OF his DlStrlct
license tag which is, of course, the first
aid to the recovery of the car. He asked
the police to get his license number
The police told him they had been 1ur-
nished only a limited list of automobile
license numbers, and had no list ar
ranged alphabetically to enable them to
look up a name and find the number.
License Bureau Behind With W rK.
II there was such a list. it was stated,
it was in the automobile license bu-
reau and that was closed in the even
ingsand all of the following day be-
cause it was holiday And when that
office finally opened it was dis
covered the owner in question states,
that the work of arranging the auto
mobile licenses by names. in alphabet
ical order, was so far behind that it
was impossible to find the name in
question without looking over a great
bulk of the cards.
That condition, it is stated. resulted
in a delay of over two days before the
number of the stolen automobile was
obtained, and therefore a material de-
lay in furnishing the police with an
important clue in its search for the
missing machine.
Motorists insist the records of the Ii
cense bureau should be kept up to the
minute, as an important link in crime
detection and recovery of stolen prop
erty, and that a greater degree of CO.
ordination between the license bureau
and the police department should be
worked out as an important part of an
efficient police system for the National
Capital
