Although he denied he was in an
automobile which figured in a
collision on X st. N. w. on Decem-
Der 30. Beach was identified by the
driver of the other car and by
stander.
The defendant suffered partial
PARALYSIS of the left side and spent
10 weeks in a hospital following an
automobile accident last August in
Baltimore. His testimony today was
rambling and involved.
He contended that IL is Impossible
for him to drive a car, because OF
his physical condition.
A witness for Beach, James
Corbett, was designated by Assistant
Corporation Counsel c. II. Gray as
"a party to a Damon and Pythias
agreement" when he took blame
for the accident and said he had
driven on the day IN question.
r L. Christian, of the 1900 block
Lamont st. n. W., driver of the
other car. and G. C. Billiard, a
witness, of the 1900 block Lamont
st. N. w. said that Beach drove
car past a red light and collided
with Christians machine.
They contended that Corbett was
not in the car at ali.
Both Beach and his wife said
they stayed home all day December
80 and that night went to dowE'
town theater.
The defendant showed the effects
of the accident which last summer
almost cost him his life, and oe-
cause of the difficulty he ex-
perienced in speaking, won an
expression OF sympathy from the
prosecuting attorney.
When he was asked what occupa-
ton he followed, he replied that the
serious accident in which he had
been involved had affected his
memory.

accident, Horace A. Baldwin, X

CASE IS
SET FOR TODAY

The Senate District Committee is
meeting today to consider what II
will do with the nomination OF Col:
Harrison Brand, jr., for second
term on the Public Utilities Comnls'
sion. .-.-.
The committee Is not expecting 10
reach any decision today on the con
firmation of Brand, but merely TO
determine how it. will consider tne
nomination, and whether puphc
hearings will be held.
This is the first meeting OF the
full committee this session. Several
other local legislative matters Will
probably be. taken up, including the
condemnation bill and the bill 10
establish q municipal airport.
AS the hour for Brands first test
before the committee approached,
opposition to him increased. His
confirmatio was strongly opposed
last night in letter to the com
mittee from Mercer G. Johnston
director of the Peoples Legislative
Service.
Johnston based his opposition to
Brand on three points: that Brand
gave favorable testimony on the
Wilson traction merger plan before
the House District Committee; that
he played an unheroic role in the
attempt of the street car companies
to get higher fares last summer;
and his general attitude OF being
unduly influenced by the North
American Company as against the
public.
Johnston said he would file a
supporting document with the COM
mittee in the near future.

MACKALL QUITS
AS ROAD HEAD

Complete reorga nization Of the
highway department of Maryland,
shaken during the last yeac by
scandal attendant upon the theft
of 100000 of it's funds has been
undertaken by Governor Albert
Richie.
The resignation Of John N.
Mackall, for nine years chief engi-
neer of the State roads commission,
has been submitted to the Governor.
and there is every likelihood that
it will be accepted Monday when
the new roads commission appointed
last night by the Governor holds
its first meeting.
The new commission. as announC-
ed by the Governor. consists of c..
Clinton Uhle, of Mt. Savage, AL
leghany county, chairman: Howard
Bruce, of Baltimore, Democratic
National Committeeman from Mary.
land, and John X. Shaw, Republi-
can, of Baltimore county.
Decision of Mackall to resign his
post, was announced late yester.
day following a lengthy conference
with the Governor. In announcing
his resignation the chief engineer
issued a statement defending his
administration, and declaring that
none of the many Investigations
conducted into the populations
have brought out anything which
even indicated reflection upon my
honesty, my character or my ability
as an engineer" He placed the
blame for the wholesale thefts of
road funds on the ineffective and
unsatisfactory" auditing system Of
the State.
Governor Richie issued a state
ment expressing complete conf.
dence in Mackal.

Flu Creating Phenomenal
Demand for Vicks VapoRub

Although the flu itself is not so
serious as in 1918, authorities
stress the Importance of taking
every possible precaution for fear
of the complications which invade
the weakened system after a flu
attack.
They urge, especially, prompt
treatment of every cold, as colds
lower the body resistance and make
it easier for flu or pneumonia to
get a foothold.
That the public is needing this
warning is indicated by the phe-
nomenal demand for Wick VapoRub,
the famous external treatment
which leaped to fame almost over
night during the 1918 epidemic. In
spite of tripled capacity, the Vicks
laboratories are once more operat-
ing night and day, and $4,000 jars
are now being produced every "a
