MACKALL DENIES
BUFFERS CHARGES
Tells Grand Inquest Road
Fund Shortages Were
Found Before 1920.
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 14.-There
were populations in the State Roads
Commission by an employee prior to 1920
and no publicity was given to the mat
ter. 1t was testified before the grand
inquest, sitting in the Statehouse here
yesterday, by John N. Mackall, former
chairman and chief engineer of The
commission. This was prior to Mr..
Mackalls regime, and the only audit of
the books made to date by Tiaskins &
Sells has been back to that year.
Mackall occupied the stand for the
entire day. He said he never gave away
any trucks or other surplus war ma
terial, nor did he authorize any one
else to give them away He denied that
he had ever authorized more than two
salary advances, or that he had i'll

chasing agent now serving a peniten-
tiary term, to falsify vouchers in regard

also that he received two thermometers.
paid Tor by the commission. and failed
to make reimbursement; that commits
sion employees dumped several loads Of
top SOIL on the lawn OF his home, for
which no charge was made
The former chairman also told the
inquest that he now regards the gift of
desk set paid for out of State road
funds to salesman of road patching
material company as not very wise OF
prudent, and TINT he now regards the
purchase Of silverWare out of State road
funds. as planned in connection with
the Grain Highway opening, as i'm
proper.
He denied that he had ever been in
toXicated on trip to Chicago, or at
any other time. He also denied that he
had signed or initiated every salary ad-
vance for Butler. Butler had testified
that Mackall knew of all of them and
approved them. The only two advances
he had ever authorized were one to
Butler of a months salary, when the
latterS wife was said to be i'll. and the
other was to Charles l.. Robbins. an
other employee, who has been convicted
of stealing the commissions funds at
the time he was married.
In regard to the money which Mackall
admitted owing the commission for
services or commodities. he explained
that he had not paid these bills be-
cause he did not wish to change in anv
way the records of the commission as
they stood just prior to the Inauguration
of the investigation.

AIRS. Steiner, and Carl Budwesky. coun-
sci for Mrs. Francis, asked a demurrer
to the indictments. When this was re-
fused the motion to quash was made.
In his argument Capt Mackey said
that the members of the special grand
jury that returned indictments against
the two women were selected from per-
sons standing around the building and
had not been selected by the court.
Three of the members of the Jury
were officials, he said. and the others
were spectators who had been seen there
and selected for this reason
Having been sworn, Sheriff Howard
w. Fields said that he had drawn the
members of the jury from a list fur
nished him by William H. Duncan. clerk
Of the court. The list, Duncan said,
was made up upon instructions from
the court
Judge Smith offered to prepare an
affidavit as to his participation in the
selection of the special grand jury.

ADHESION OF STAMPS
WlThSTANDS RIGID TEST

A new method for testing the adj
hesiye qualities of postage stamps has
been successfully developed by the Blu
reau of Standards.
Stamps are affixed to envelopes and
then placed in a drum or barrel, which
is then rotated at low speed by means
of electricity, and the tumbling of the
envelopes within is comparable to very
rough handling. The test is carried on
until the envelopes are worn out around
the edges. Since this treatment is much
more severe than is ever encountered in
the mails, it is evident that stamps that
are not shed during the test have salts
factory sticking qualities.
Approximately 700 stamps taken from
the regular production of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing from time to
time have been tested in the barrel
tester and not one stamp was shed, al
though envelopes were badly worn.
From these results it is evident that the
sticking qualities Of the stamps now be-
ing made are excellent and that In most
eases, nonadherence Of stamps now be-
ing produced is due to faulty afflxing.

were SuplcTDSl,
At the same time Bogley stated, the
commission was veil aware CT the
clause in its charter requiring it in
due course of time to restore the ground
disturbed as nearly as possible to its
original condition" which was cited by
the county commissioners in directing
their attorney to forward the citizens
complaint, and added that the sanitary
commission intended to follow up the
contractor who is performing the work
to see he tulfillS that requirement.
Work Now Progressing.
The contract for laying of the sewers
and water mains in the Berwyn Branch
vile section. it was explained, was
awarded to firm in Richmond, Va.
One Of the partners assumed charge of
the work when it was started, but the
laying of the mains did not progress
as rapidly as was expected under his
direction. with the result that a few
weeks ago another partner took charge.
and the work has since gone forward
according TO schedule, Bogley says.
It was this slowneSs in getting the
mains connected which has caused the
bitches to remain open for periods of
time that seem unreasonable to the resi-
dents, according to Bogley.
Pointing out that the law requires
them to restore streets "as nearly as
possible" to their original condition after
sewer-laying operations, the member of
the sanitary commission explained that
in the case Of longitudinal excavations
it was practically impossible to restore
the earth so that the street would be
exactly as it was before.
In the case of cross-sections, how
ever, where the excavations go across
rather than along street. the sanitary
commission or its contractor packs the
earth down when the ditch is refilled.
Some OF the streets in the section iil-
volved are so narrow that the digging
of a sewer virtually closes the street,
Bogley declared. Although he. admits
improper method on the part of the
contractor may have caused some Of
the trenches to cave in, as claimed by
the citizens, Bogley is of the opinion
that the nature of the earth itself was
probably the. reason for the trenches
becoming unnecessarily WIDE

HAVOC IN CANE FIRES.

HAVANA, March IA R).-Enormous
cane and cattle losses from 90 raging
cane fires between Holguin and Santi-
ago de Cuba were reported here last
evening by train arrivals from the fire
area
The first fire broke out Monday
near the town of Cueto. Since then
1t has swept miles through cane
fields and cattle pastures to fire guards
near Cacocum. Other fires dashed by
high wind are blanketing the prov
ince with smoke.
No estimates of the losses were avail
able, but witnesses declared they are
exceedingly heavy, as the fire hit the
richest section of the province. Efforts
to halt the conf1agration will be USE
less until the wind dies down.
