futile sun and saw two sun-dogs -one

of snow crystals whisks against our

AS we plod through clinging,

forth into the driving snow.
Low-drifting clouds of powdery
white scurry across the fields. whis-

keen wind bites through our coats

it seems that we must be chilled to

GILLIAN AUTO PERMIT
REVOCATION SERVED

The drivers permit of Charles W.
Gillian, formerly chauffeur for Arthur
E. Sixsmith, has been revoked, and
notice of the revocation was served
on him December 1s last, it was re-
vealed at police headquarters today.
II was erroneously stated in yes
terday's Star that the permit had
been revoked, but that notice of the
action had not been served on Gillian.
The error was due to misinformation
furnished The Star from sources con-
sidered relia BILE. When a query was
put-to. police headquarters yesterday
to determine whether notice Of revo-
cation had been served on Gillian, it
was stated that the notice had been
sent to the second precinct to serve,
and afterward returned to headquar
ters with the information that Gillian
could not be located. In addition, it
was stated that there were no rec
ords available at police headquarters
to show that the notice had been
served. Today, when further inquiry
was made, the papers in the case
were found to have been forwarded
to Commissioner Oysters office, where
they are now, and that the papers
bore the notation that necessary
notice had been served on Gillian, De-
cember 1s.
Gillian, who was arrested and after
ward convicted on charge of reck-
less driving, December 9, is still EN-
ployed by Mr.. Sixsmith, but not as
chauffeur.
