Enright Abolishes
Offices of Two
Borough Chiefs
Wipes Out Manhattan and
Bronx and Richmond
Commands

Police Commissioner Enright, who
lives in Brooklyn, issued an order yes
terday abolishing the office of Borough
Inspector of Manhattan and The Bronx,
and of Borough Inspector of Richmond.
He did not disturb the Brooklyn Bor-
ough Inspectors office.
Inspector John j. O'Brien. who has
been in command of the Manhattan
and Bronx office, was reduced to Dis
trict Inspector, and sent to command
the Traffic Squad. Inspector Cornelius
). Cabalane, who was in command of
Richmod Borough and of the training
school at Police Headquarters, was sent
to Harlem to command the Sixth In
spection District. Two other inspec-
tors were reduced to captains and four
others were transferred.
The Commissioners only explanation
for the changes was the usual one
"for the good of the service"
At the same time he issued another
order combining the Bureau of In
formation, the Detective Bureau and
the Bureau of Missing Persons into
one Office. These bureaus henceforth
will occupy one large room on the
main floor of the Police Department
building. This change, Commissioner
Enrlght said, was made in the interest
OF the public's convenience.
John J. Collins and Richard O'Con-
nor were the inspectors who were re-
duced to captains. Those who were
transferred and their old and new sta
tions are: Edward |. Walsh, from the
18th Inspection District to the seventh;
Thomas F. Ryan, from the Sixth In
spection District to the 18th; James J.
Savage, from the 18th Inspection Dis
trict to the 8th, and Thomas Myers,
from the Traffic Division to the Sth
Inspection District
Captain George C. Liebers, of the
West Chester station, was promoted to
be an acting inspector and assigned to
command the 9th Inspection District.
Lieutenant Charles f. Schofield, train
ing master of the school of recruits,
was made an acting captain and given
command of the school.
Surgeon Patrick j. Murray was made
chief surgeon of the Police Depart
ment, and Edward T. Higgins, who had
been chief surgeon, was ordered to re-
port at Police Headquarters for duty
as surgeon.
At Headquarters last night it was
whispered about that the Est of cap
tains was due for many changes by the
Commissioner.

AutomobiHng
Government Goes Into Ques
ton of Fuel Consumption
by All Automobiles
By c. E. r. Scharps

Motorists Light Lamps To-day, p. m.
In connection with his Investigation
of the gasolene question, W. Champlin
Robinson, Director of Oil Conserva-
ton, has appointed Joseph Tracy, Of
New York, consulting engineer Of the
bureau of oil conservation of the
United States fuel administration, OF
which Robinson is the head.
Tracy, who is an oldtime racing man
and latterly consulting automobile
engineer, will conduct sanctioned tests
of automobiles. with reference to gaso-
lene conservation. Automobiles of all
types will be included in the invcstlga-
tions. The bureau is particularly anx-
ious to get data on the road perform
ance of motor trucks.
There must be scarcity of cotter
pins, along with other things that are
hard to get because there is war. This
conclusion is forced by the increasing
number Of accidents due to wheels
coming off automobiles in motion.
Some odd accidents result from this
particular form of mishap, curiously
enough, ordinarily without hurt to the
occupants Vi LHc CdI
The other morning, in the early
hours, a taXicab going north on Broad
way, about Fifty-sixth Street, lost a
left front wheel. The wheel kept on
its way, with a twist to the left which
sent it shooting across Broadway. 1t
hoped right over the curb and then
bounded, about four feet high above
the sidewalk, right through the win
dow of an automobile store. Not only
did it smash the large glass window,
but it spoiled the fender, running board
and finish on newly painted car in
the window
One unfortunate outcome of the ac-
cidcnt is that the automobile people
may not be able to have the same show
space as before, bccausc-again owing
to the war-it is difficult to get plate
glass in the size demanded If the
window has to be made in two pieces,
it will hurt the display value of the
space.
Downtown, on Sunday morning, a
car coming north on Lafayette Street,
right at Astor Place, lost the left front
wheel. 1t kept diagonally on it's way
and broke through the glass of a de-
partment store door. This was only
small pane of glass, comparatively
so the damage was not as considerable,
as in the other case.
Motorists meeting with this sort of
accident are lucky, not so much that
as a rule the folks in the car aren't
hurt, as if the flying wheel fails to
strike pedestrian. If it does, the
injury is likely to be terrific The
wheel and tire weigh good deal, and
the speed of travel adds another dan
ger factor.
A novel substitute for other coyeriny
for spare tires is a paint, sun and
water proof, to be applied on the extra
casing. Sun and moisture both arc
bad. for tires. and the spare should not
be left exposed to either. This paint.
which gives the tire a black finish, is
said to be non-injurious to the rubber
as, of course, it should be to be worth
while.
=, Applying the paint does away with
the need of special covers for the tires
and can be done very easily. A tire
taken from wheel, after puncture or
blowout, has to be cleaned and painted
before attachment as a spare. A new
casing, of course, does not need this
sort of attention.

by the exchange yesterday reported

noted in the primary markets, Rio

A later cable showed Santos 25 higher

points. with q moderate demand from

Cereals

Wheat.-The wheat trade believes
that the question of price for the sea-
son has been finally settled In con-
sequence farmers are selling wheat
more freely and the movement at pri-
mary points is assuming very substan-
tial proportions. Total receipts yes
terday aggregated 1851, 900 bushels,
compared with $4,000 the previous
week and 401 900 last year. The wheat,
however, is moving directly to the
mills, and so far there has been very
little accumulation at visible supply
points. The visible last week gained
only 371 900 bushels and the total is
now $4,000, compared with 9,984,000 a
year ago. Crop ACCOUNTS were very
favorable, as the drouth has been
broken in the Montana district by good
showers. Harvesting operations in the
winter wheat belt are progressing rap
idly. under ideal conditions and the
quality of the new crop is high. The
milling demand for wheat is very ac-
tive, as stocks of flour have run down
to very low figures throughout the
country and consumers are building up
stocks.
Corn.--New high records for the sea-
son we're established in the corn mar
ket yesterday, when the August posi-
ton sold at S1.64 and September at
Sl.e4A Il. Early in the day there was
decline of about cent bushel un-
der selling by traders who took a bear
ish view Of conditions on account of
very favorable crop advices and owing
TO the weakness in Wall Street as we'll
nrf, oc ~
drive. Subsequently, however, it be-
came apparent that offers were small.
anG when shorts attempted to cover
they were forced to bid the market up
Rapidly Cash markets in the West de-
clined early, but rallied with futures.
and many in the trade continue to take
very bullish view of the cash situa
ton at large. The visible supply in
the United States decreased 6S3,OOO
bushels, bringing the total to 1O.2OO.-
900, compared with 3,296,0OO wear
ago.
