died at - Fellows, California, March 5,
1923 aged 51. as a result of an auto
mobile accident—the blinding lights

is today reaping vast benefits from
his invention, even though Mr. Lita
ker did not share in them, having sold
out his interest in 1922. In fact, the
success obtained at Signal Hill is due
to the use of this particular hit. lie
was also the inventor of several other
minor oil appliances.
In 1920. 1921 and 1922 lie ran the
Fellows Hotel and also operated bar
ber shops in Fellows, hut later sold

DEATON NAKOWLY ESCAPES
DROWNING IN YADKIN RIYER
Car Washed Oft' in Flood at Ap
proach of Brid,go Over River at
Yadkin.
Spencer, March 18.—W. C. Deaton,
of .Charlotte, connected with the Char
lotte Ford Motor company, narrowly
escaped death by drowning near here
tonight when his automobile, in which
he was returning to Charlotte from
Greensboro, was washed off the fill
on the approach to the bridge over
the Yadkin river. Mr. Deaton's ear
was carried to a point in the flood
waters where if. was impossible for
him to swim on account of the swift
current, and the water too deep to
regain the shove by wading. He was
rescued after about an hour spent
clinging to the top of his ear. by being
pulled in at the eml of a rape attached
to a mule.
Mr. Deaton’s car was among sev
eral automobiles washed off the till
approaching the Yadkin bridge <tur
ing the day, all of the motorists
being rescued without personal dam
age. Mr. Deaton’s baggage, however,
was lost in the river.
Mr. Deaton had driven to Greens
boro intending to bring Mrs. Deaton
and child hack to Charlotte, after
their visit to relatives. Mrs. Deaton
however, was ill. and Air. Deaton
returned without her. It is consid
ered likely that, had Mrs. Deaton and
the child been in thi- car the acci
dent would have resulted fatally for
them*. Mr. Deaton, after his rescue,
\vas taken to the Young Men’s
Christian assicintion, given dry cloth
ing, and placed aboard train No. 35
for Charlotte. His Car was left in the
river.
The Hardaway Contracting com
pany, which is building a new high
way bride over the Yadkin here, sus
tained the loss of a considerable
amount of lumber and bridge mate
rial by the stuff being washed away
in the flood. Work on the bridge will
be delayed in consequence, it is
said.
The bridge over the Yadkin is re
ported as still intact.
(Train drews reaching iSpencer
-from points as far north as the Dan
river in A’irginia reports streams in all
section very high, and much work
done by work crews to weight down
In-idges to prevent tlieir washing
away. It is stated that several had
w*recks might have occurred hut for
the w ork done by these, crews.
The flood in the Yadkin Has reached
within nine feet of the 1916 record.
There have been frequent reports of
horses and mules being drowned, and
in one instance a horse and buggy
was swept into the Yadkin, the horse
being carried away by the stream,
but the driver being rescued.

Germany Must Beg For Peace, Asserts
the French Leader.
Paris. March 17.—Premier Poin
care will entertain no proposition for
negotiations with Germany until the
Berlin government makes it known di
rectly and officially to France that
she wants to negotiate, it was declar
ed today in French official circles.
Premier Poincare's altitude on that
point, a high official declared, remains
unite as firm a 3 at the beginning of the
occupation of the Ruhr.
Prom th*' same source it is learned
that all rumors of attempts to open
negotiation's indirectly are unfounded,
so tar as the French government is
concerned, and up proposition of any
kind has been brought to its attention.
Tin* impression gained from the
same source is that when Germany is
ready to make a direct official request
to negotiate, Premier Poincare will be
ready to consider any reasonable pro
portions.
Any attempt by a third 1 tower to
intervene or provike discussion of the
terms under which a settlement might
he reached with Germany, it whs add
ed, will he regarded by France as an
unfriendly act.
