"I hope the Senate committee will secure the report that Secretary Den by has demanded from Admiral Sims," said Senator Harrison. "I hope Congress will take immediate action if Secretary Denby fails to do anything to him if he was quoted cor rectly." Senator Harrison said that Admiral SimsV'ought to be got rid from the navy if he was quoted accurately and he also reiterated his demand for Am bassador Harvey's "recall." Noting that Secretary Denby had called upon Admiral Sims for an expla nation within 24 hours, Senator Harri son said that no official of the gov ernment had taken similar action as to Ambassador Harvey. "He has not been called down hv the President or the Secretar of State or any other official," said the Senator YORKE TELLS OF WRECKFEELINGS Young Men in Wreck State Man Took Lantern from Bridge to Water Potatoes. When questioned as to what it felt like when one is in an automobile wreck Frank Yorke, one of the young men who was hurt in Thursday night's smash-up near Waxhaw, declared, "There is no feeling." "That is, "he continued, "in refer ence to my own personal jenationb Thursday night, I never realij-ed what had happened until 1 crawled ou from under the car. The wreck happened so suddenly that my mind simply retusod to work while the excitement was gj ing on. "We were going about 20 -miles an hour when the wreck occurr-i I We were casually talking among ourselves when suddenly the bridge loomed up in front of us. There was no light to warn us of the danger. Across the front of the bridge was nailed a heavy board and up against this bushes had been piled. "We put on brakes, but despite the fact that the tires were sliding, we crashed into the bridge. No one had time to realize what was happening. We only kenw a disaster of some kind had overtaken us. Those in the back seat were thrown entirely free of the car. Gilder Craver and myself who were in the front seat, held on. I do not know what happened ex actly, but the car overturned and slid up on the bridge. Gilder and I were both pinned under it. I was in such a posi tion that I lost everything I had in my pockets except a few bills. Silver, keys.and everything else rolled out While the car was sliding upside down my nose was where the wheels should have been. "It was a few seconds before I collect ed my senses and realized what had occurred.- Gilder was begging some, body to lift the car off of him, but in a few seconds he managed to crawl out through the door. I escaped in the same way on my side. "It was Roger Craver who had the presence of mind to call-out our names in order to see if everybody was con scious. We all answered to our names, and that made-us feel somewhat more at ease. We were all bruised and cut, however, and Charlie Skinner, with a broken leg, was suffering terribly. Roger then went to a nearby farm house and telephoned to the Blake Auto company for an ambulance. We arrived back in Charlotte about 4:30 a. m. The wreck oc curred a little after 10 o'clock the night before. ; v - , . J "Why we were not all killed I do not see. It was a close call. According to the young men, a man had taken the lantern off of the front of the condemned bridge in order to see how to water his potatoes- They declared that had they been going fast er they would have reached the middle of the bridge and fallen through into d Kuwey some reet below. cm3?1"' Wil?y Moore, Avho attended Mr. bkinner at Mercy hospital where he was taken, stated that it was a miracle how he escaped with his bff.

The threat was made that he would call for the police. Massey brok? from the sudden grasp of the manager and ran. Half of the pedestrians on Nodth Tryon street joined in a chase for him. . He was caught after a threa blocks' run. He spent the night in the city jail anj was unable to communicate with friends or with his boss man. He ap peared in court without counsellor with out the advise of friends. Massey is black but he had an honest face and he gave every indication of telling a straight story. He had been looking at the rings and -held two in his hand when the manager ap proached, he testified. One ring was in the palm of his left hand; he was at tempting to get the other one off of a left finger", he said. He pulled out his right pocket with his right hand. No rings were in that pocket. He pull ed out the left pocket with his left hand and as he held the cloth of the pocket the manager saw a ring in the palm of the hand, according to the testimony. - The manager " claimed that Massey had been hanging around in the store for about an hour. This evidence and the fact that he ran when the threat of an arrest was made went against him in court. He told policemen thai he ran because he, had fear of being arrested, having never been in trouble before, nor even suspictoned of wrong doing. . After Judge Jones had expressed the opinion that Massey was a "good dark ey" and imposed a sentence of 60-days Solicitor T. C. Guthrie, Jr., agreeing with Judge Jones in the opinion '.hat Massey was a "good darkey," : rec om mended that he be put under a sus pended sentence.

A spectator in the courtroom who knew the section forenv.n volunteered after the tflal to get in touch with Robinson and ask him to help the ne gro out. The defendant made an impression on court attaches and spectators by his general appearance and demeanor in the court.

It was brought out as an incidental bit of testimony during tho tiial that Massev passed Judge Jones during his race Thursday afternoon. The judge, stepped out to grab tht fleeing negro but his speed and size caused his hon or to hesitate. KEYNOLDS' BODY Catawba River Fails to Give Up Body of Youth Who Sank Thursday.

When questioned by Solicitor Guth rie as to how he came to Charlotte, h replied somewhat after the fashion of the historical woodcutter: "I cannot tell a lie, sir. I came by the train, sir. The truth is the light, sir." "Cut out that 'truth is the light' busi ness," demanded the solicitor, "and an swer my questions." "My intentions have been thus, sir," he replied. "For the truth is the light, sir." When asked if he came on the rods of the train, he exclaimed. "I cannot tell a lie, sir. I did not. I toured ex tremely close to the rods, sir.

Unable to stand "the truth is the light, sir" any longer, the solicitor sprang up and cried: "Tour honor, I move we put old "Truth is the Light" on the roads. What do you think about it?"
