Shirley Made Engineer.

Annapolis
Henry G. Shirley, formerly chief
engineer of the State Roads Commits
sion. and more recently executive
secretary of the Highways Industries
Association, has been appointed by
Governor Richie TO his old post as
roads engineer for Baltimore county.
according to an announcement by the
Governor.
Mr.. Shirley succeeds the man who
succeeded him in 1912, William G.
Sucro. Mr.. Sucro's resignation, to
take effect May /, was offered to the
County Commissioners last week.
In order to secure the services OF
Mr.. Shirley, who has the reputation
OF one of the best roads builders and
experts in the country, the County
Commissioners doubled the salary OF
the office. Mr.. Sucro had been re-
ceiving $1,000 a year. Mr.. Shirley
will receive 10000.
Mr.. Sucro's resignation last week
came as a surprise The only reason
he offered was that he had accepted
a position with the Development and
Construction Company, OF Balti'
more. which presented broader fu-
ture for his work.
Under the original law creating the
Office OF roads engineer for Baltimore
county. the engineer was to be APP
pointed by the Governor for no spe-
cific time, but removable at the Gov
ernor's pleasure. The salary of the
office. under this law, was fixed by
the County Commissioners.
At the last session of the Legisla-
ture, the law was changed so that
instead OF being removable at the
pleasure of the Governor alone, the
roads engineer was made removable
at the pleasure OF the County Com
missioners.
1t is said, however. that this fea-
ture of the law played no part in Mr..
Sucro's resignation. 1t has been de-
clared that 1t was complete sur
prise to the County Commissioners
when 1t was offered
Mt. oHlTltH - HatINt Va " -
Virginia and received his early edu-
cation at the Charles Town Male
Academy and the Virginia Military
Institute. He served through the
Spanish American War with n regi-
ment of engineers. and later became
commandant OF cadets and professor
of mathematics at Horner Military
School. oxford. n. c. He left this
for railroad work. and was with the
Baltimore and Ohio at Cumberland
when appointed roads engineer for
Baltimore county about ! 5 years ago.
In 1912. Mr. Shirley succeeded
Major w. w. Crosby as chief en-
gineer OF the State Roads Commits
sion, a position which he held until
his resignation to go with the High
WAYS Industries Association in March,
1918.
Mr.. Sucro. native OF New York.
had been resident of Baltimore for
80 years when. as assistant to Mr..
Shirley in Baltimore county. he was
appointed to the latter's position
when Mr.. Shirley accepted the chief
engineers post with the State Roads
Commission.

Says Dry Law Is Enforced.

Thomas f. Stone, prohibition en-
forcement director for the Maryland
Ohio district. was emphatic in his
statement that enforcement of the
Volstead act. at least so far as the
territory he is expected to supervise
is concerned. has not been a failure.
He gave a clean bill of health. so to
speak. to the Maryland and Ohio per-
hitting Offices.
Whatever trouble in enforcement
we have had in these States" said
Mr.. Stone. has resulted from defec-
tive permits from other States. not
ably Pennsylvania and New York.

we have found here and in Ohio were
due to defective permits"

instituting suit against the Maryland
Racing Commission TO compel that
body to grant him a license to ride

short time when we heard the roar Of
waters and the flood Tapped at the
coach steps and began rising rapidly.

car. Some of US went up and down in
the cars quieting the passengers,
many of whom were screaming and
moaning and praying. A young girl

She said SIZE was from Chicago and

told her We would look after her and
it cheered her,.
'But-weli, I saw her swept away
as the water rushed into the coaches
and carried US out through windows
and doors.

An old lady sat in her seat, smiling,
just before the water flooded in on US.
She declared that if it were her time
to go. she was prepared, and kept on
smiling. l reckon she died in her seat

berth with his mother, consoling her.
She was praying.
I'm the water we clung to the coach

back and forth with the waves and
striking the coaches of the Missouri

anguish rose. I saw some people &C
to their deaths crushed between the
two trains
"A great pile of lumber came rush
ing down upon US sweeping over US,
striking some of those clutching there
with precarious hold on the cars
They were torn loose and went float
