BALTIMORE, August 3.-Defendine
the Maryland road system in COM
menting on the Michigan commissions
report on the $4,000 road thefts, Gov.
Albert c. Ritchie said:
THE excellence Of our road system
has been convincingly established, our
road work has been well and eco
nomically done, contracts have been
honestly performed and the State has
received a dollar value for every dollar
spent on its roads"
No "Higher-ups' shown.
Gov. Richie said that this report,
found by an unprecedented committee,
concnsively shows that there were no
so-called "higher-ups" involved in the
thefts, and the stealing was limited
to a little group OF dishonest employees.
Referring to the forced resignation
of Mr.. Mackall and his vindication, the
governor said:
1T was source Of genuine regret
to ne that Mr.. Mackall's resignation
ha:. to be accepted. and would ike
to repeat the confidence l have prev.
OuSly expressed, ana nave always ndu
in his honesty and integrity. But the
investigation could not be mede IN n
way which would completely be ~
cepted by the public If any one wso
himself was under investigation con-
tinued in control Of the personnel Of
the department and its records.
Expresses Satisfaction.
1T think that the members OF the
committee share my conviction tina;
Mr.. Mackalrs vindication could not
have been accepted as it now will be
had he continued to direct the COM
missions affairs. Nothing about the
report of the committee gives me more
satisfaction than its findings In this
regard"

strenuous objection to the decision on
the grounds that the location OF FIRE

chase q lot in a more suitable location

The motion for the resembling of the
permit was made by j. 4. Spaulding
and seconded by Maj. w. r. kicharos
While the commission was of the opin-
ion that the location selected was III
chosen both from the point OF view OF

that the movements OF the fire appara-
tus would be hampered every Sunday
morning and night and several week
nights by the parking of AUTOMOBILES
on both sides of the streets over Wnlch
the apparatus would have TO run by
persons attending services. He also
stressed the danger to the numerous

the MANY more who attend Sunday

ne already has offered to purchase the
fire plot at a profit and to donate $25
toward another location. This amount
will be increased to 500, he said, If

Aviatrix Is Conscious in
Cleveland Hospital:
Husband AIoof.
BY MERTON T. AKERS
United Press staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Aug. 30.-First VIC
tim here of the machines man made
to fly since the national air races
started six days ago, Lady Mary
Heath, Irish aviatrix, battled for
life today with a chance for recov-
cry.
Although her condition remained
very critical" Lady Heath re-
gained consciousness today for the
first time since she crashed. She was
reported fighting tenaciously for
life.
Lady .Heath's accident was the
first of any consequence at the air
races. -Four derby f1iers were killed
as they winged toward the show, but
with hundreds of airplanes flying all
hours of the day and night there
had been no crashes at the airport.
Lady Heath's skull was fractured
in two places, her body crushed and
her head Iacerated when the Great
Lakes airplane she was trying out
preparatory to taking part in a race
Thursday crashed through the roof
of a metal products factory and i'm
bedded itself in the roof.
Erwin Kirk, a mechanic flying
with her, leaped to safety, but in
jured himself slightly when he
jumped through the hole in the
roof to the aid of his pilot.
