MACKALL PLANS FIGHT ON
SIGNS ALONG STATE ROADS
He Also Aims To Have Those Placed
In Fields Removed.

Having settled his controversy with
State Forester Besley by an agree
ment under which the State Roads
Commission is to have jurisdiction
over all signs along the right of way
of the State roads, Roads Chairman
Mackall is preparing to buck" the
Standard Oil and other concerns
including tire companies, supply
houses and general mercantile con-
Germs which have signs along the pub
lie highways, even if they are on pri-
yate property.
Most Of these signs, to attract at
tention, profess to give some informa-
ton about the roads or the distance
from one point to another. Much Of
this information is misleading, it is
claimed. For instance, at one point
on the Annapolis Boulevard are two
advertising signs within Is feet Of
each other. One states that the dis
tance to Baltimore is 16 miles and the
other Is miles. Neither is right. Mr.
Mackall says the same condition ex-
lists at other places along the State
roads
Some days ago he took up the mat
ter with Attorney-General Armstrong
and asked if there was some way the
Roads Commission could control high
way signs, even if they were on pri-
vate property, especially those signs
which professed to give information
concerning the State roads. As a re-
sule Mr.. Armstrong is preparing n
bill to be sent to the General Assem-
bly, by Mr.. Mackall.
Those who have put up these signs
ordinarily pay the landowner a small
sum for the privilege, and also for
maintenance. Mr.. Mackall wants
them to come down, especially those
which contain facts, or alleged facts,
as to distances on the roads He states
that the Roads Commission itself will
give all the signboard information
necessary.

DENY HOLDUP OF TOURISTS
FOR OPENING NATIONAL ROAD
Ohio Men Say Cost Was Double What
they Were Paid for Removing Snow


w. w. Wilcox and Frank Daven-
port, members of the Davis Wilcox
Construction Company, Spencerville,
O., enroute to Bessemer City, n. c.,
to perform a contract to build eight
and one-half miles of concrete road,
stopped in Cumberland for few days
where they stated to the Cumberland
Evening Times man that they were
the persons who opened the National
Road for tourists from the Pennsyl.
vania line seven miles east toward
Grantsville following the storm which
effectually closed the road to traffic.
They resented the accusation that the
attempted to force payment for their
services. They say they were stop
ping at the same hotel with the ma
rooned tourists and it was suggested
that they use their outfit to open the
roads and each tourist would pay his
proportion of cost
The contractors employed four
trucks, two automobiles, tractor and
teams in the work of removing five
feet of snow and made the road clear
for the beleaguered autoists. They
state the work cost $126 and they
were paid $5 by each of the II tour
lists, or $55, being willing to stand the
balance of the exnense themselves nc
they were as anxious as the others to
get through. One of the tourists kick
ed on the payment and he was given
his money back, according to Messrs.
Wilcox and Davenport. They sus-
pect he is responsible for the 'hold-
up" charge

OAKLAND WAL

Broadway A. c. Forced to Bite
Dust Before Brilliant Shoot
ing of Scott, Rice and Bolden

The fast Broadway ATHLETIC Club
of Meyersdale, Pa, was dec iively
defeated by Oakland A. A. on the
local floor Tuesday night in game
which was nip and tuck until well
along in the second half, when the
locals put up rally resulting in sew
eral field goals in quick succession by
Scott, Rice and Bolden, giving them
= comfortable lead and consequent
victory over their opponents. The
comparatively easy victory of the
Oakland five over the Meyersdale
i've is considered quite a feather IN
their caps, inasmuch as the latter
club held the crack Taylor Tinmen to
a one-point victory earlier in the sea-
son. The shooting of Rice and Scott,
who Gagged seven and eight field goals,
respectively, together with the fast
floor work and passing of Hoyt, Boil

THIS VETERAN WOULD END WAR
McHenry Howard, 83, Who Fought
for COnfederacy, Talks of Leaders

McHenry Howard, 83, Who Fought
for Confederacy, Talks of Leaders
The Baltimore News of last Friday
morning contained an interview with
Mr.. McHenry Howard, well-known
Baltimorean, who maintains his sum-
mer home in Oakland, that is illumi-
mating, showing as it does that those
who were once engaged in war are
now its most bitter opponents. The
article appearing in the News reads
as follows:
ANY movement that tends to end
war should be supported in every
way possible" This statement was
made by McHenry Howard, one Of
Baltimore's most prominent and vener-
able citizens; one of the rapidly
dwindling ranks of distinguished Con-
federate veterans. Mr.. Howard, who
passed his eighty-third birthday on
December &c, is far from robust, but
his charming courtesy is a thing that
neither fades nor perishes and there
is still much about his bearing to re-
call the erect and gallant soldier.
He has been retired for some time
from active affairs, but when the
weather is fine he usually spends sew
eral hours in the office downtown. His
interview was apropos of today's cell
ebration of the birthday of Gen. Rob-
ert E. Lee. ~
ut is most fitting that the memory
of General Lee be perpetuated and
venerated," he said, "for he was. a
very great man. did not know him
very well personally, as l was very
young at the time was in service. I
came into much closer contact with
Stonewall Jackson. Jackson was not
man whom one was apt to be fond
Of, since he was retiring and aloof,
but everyone who served under him
had the greatest respect for him and
admiration for his ability.
war is a very bad thing and it
ought 10 pc ended Tor all time. | do
not think that the soldiers Of the
World War had any more to endure,
in some particulars, than the soldiers
Of the Civil War. For one thing, I do
not believe that they suffered so much
from hunger and thirst and the IA
tigue on long Marches
Mr.. Howard's first service in the
Civil War was with the First Mary
land Infantry. Later he was on the
stats of Gen. c. s. Winder, Gen. Geo.
H. Steuart, Gen. Isaac R. Trimble and
Gen. Custis Lee. For years he has
been president of the Society of the
Army and Navy Of the Confederate
States. Formerly this organization
always celebrated Lees birthday. but
in recent years these events have been
discontinued owing to the fact that
death has cut the membership down
from something like 1900 to a mere
pathetic handful of 80 or so.

Broken Tank Truck Caused Wreck

A broken tank truck form on a
coach of Baltimore and Ohio train No.
53 is thought to have caused the de-
railment of the two locomotives and
two cars of that train at Bloomington
early last Wednesday morning. After
four hours delay the train proceeded
to Grafton, minus one of the express
cars.
Derailments or wrecks, it has been
explained by railroad officials, are oc-
casioned from one or from a combi-
nation of causes, which occasions a

SCHOOL" is PROPOSED
FOR HEALTH OFFICERS
Instruction Designed to Render More
Effective Aid Given Country Doctors.

lHStTuCtlOH DeSlSHeu 10 Ren0er More
Effective Aid Given Country Doctors.
Short courses of training in less
known branches of the diagnosis and
treatment of disease probably will be
arranged for deputy State health off
GERS following discussion of the pro-
ject at a meeting of the deputies at
the State Health Department Satur-
day.
The object of the proposed training,
officials said, is to give more effective
aid to county health officers and rural
practitioners in difficult diagnosis and
treatments. Deputies agreed as to
the value of such training, and indi.
Gated their desire to take it up at the
first opportunity.
Accurate diagnosis of incipient tu-
berculosis, in order that cases may be
subjected to earlier treatment, is one
of the principal branches in which in
tensive training is desired. Another
is the use of the Spinal puncture,"
employed in tests and serum injec-
tions for spinal meningitis, and also
for infantile paralysis.
Practice in intubation, or insertion
of breathing tube, used in cases of
laryngeal diptheria, also has been pro-
posed. While no places of instruc-
tion have been fixed upon, it was said
to be likely that tubercular diagnos-
tic training would be given at one of
the State institutions for treatment of
tuberculosis.

SENATOR ROBB Is
AFTERBAUCHMAN
Would Require Commissioner to
Turn Titling Fund Over to
Treasury.

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 25.-While the
measure calling for an audit Of the
automobile titling funds of Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles E. Austin
Baughman was being adopted by the
House, another attack on the Commits
sioner was made yesterday in the
Senate.
The assault in the Senate came in
the form of bill introduced by Sena-
tor David A. Robb, Allegany county,
providing that all funds received
from automobile titling should go in
TO the general State treasury, instead
of remaining in the possession of the
Commissioner.
The Robb bill would strip Commits
sioner Baughman of control and eX-
penditure of the funds which, in the
first 16 months under the titling law,
amounted to approximately $190,O0O
Under the present law, excess money,
remaining after expenses of enforcing
the titling law, continue in the hands
of the Commissioner. Senator Robb's
measure would compel the Commits
sioner to turn all titling collections
over to the State Treasurer each
month and pay his expenses by war.

drawn on the State Treasurer.
Sponsors of the bill declare it will
take away from the Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles a sum estimated at
S25 600 which he otherwise might eX-
pend as he saw fit. The titling fund
heretofore has been utilized in meet
ing the cost of the State police. Un-
der the bill introduced last week, how
ever, the State police force costs are
provided for in the budget
State Auditor Gillespie will make

Jail sentences for persons operating
motor vehicles while under the in
fluence of liquor are provided in

W. Bankert, of Carroll county.
For the first offense fines of $1O0 to
$1,000 or Imprisonment for 80 days
