mly persons in the nam were Mrs.
Wilson, his wife, and Mrs. McAdoo.
kis daughter. The McAdaos had din
•d with the Wilsons shortly Mor.<
the ex-President hobbled into the
>tudy.
The ex-President sat facing a mi
rrophone, a delicate instrument, that
ronveyed his word* out of the house,
through the radi apparatus loaded on
> truck stationed in an alley, and
lience through powerful repeating sta
tions to the thousand* that awaited
bis message.
He spoke in a deep, huaky voice
that sounded *trange!y unfamiliar to
those who have heard Woodrow Wil
■on speak in the sharp, clipped accents
if vigorous health.
The former President referred to no
men and to no particular 0blicies in
lii* short speech. He dealt only with
the broad aspects of American for
rign policy as it has been pursued
«inoe the irreconcilability of the
American Senate sat on his program
defeated his purposes and sent him,
three years ago, into the seclusion
that has been the fate of every (treat
war loader.
The eve of the Armistice, bringing
with it the pregnant memories of
America's heroic dead. Mr, Wilson
thought should bring to the American
i>eople an exaltation of spirit that
would swoop away the "icnohility" of
* ^nt American policy and place the
lation once again on the crest of
idealism in international affairs that
lie voiced during the war.
Many time* during the long fight
jver the Treaty of Versailles and the
lioagoe of Nations after his return
rrom Paris, Mr. Wilson dec'ar >' that
unless America 'olio ved tbc lead he
had tnVtn civ!,;jsa:ion and mankind
would be "greatly wronged" and
America "deeply mortified.'' He used
the phrases in hi* brief message to
night. And they were listened to by
thousands.
He claimed, by inference, prophetic
tision. Four years ago he wamsd the
senate then in the threes of Utter
partisan strife, that unless H fortified
and endorsed the league the wortd af
fairs would hoc ow» chaotic.
When he made these ssee rt ions four
rears ago he was in the Ml poseessios
r»f all his faculties and only recently
returned from a European tour that

Mebane, Nov. S.—Miaa Ruth Rippey,
daughter of Rudy Rippey, of Haw
River, a pretty little golden haired
rirl of 14 aummera, ia dead and aavon
other poraona are faoinc treated in
hoapitaU at Ruriinffton and Haw
River, aa a reault of heinc ran down
hy four negro** in a Cadillac car a
evening about R:M o'clock.
The four m(tdw in the Cadillac
car which snuffed out the Ufa of Mlaa
Rippev and aent aeven other Al
man<H women and children to haa
pital* were Will Ford. S. D. Porter,
Rey Koy and John Henry Henry, all
of Winston-Sateen, with Henry at the
»tee ring wheel. It ia alleged that af
ter striking the party of
children aad scattering
the
of the Cadillac never
stepping the cm went racing on
toward Haw Hirer. After nauta(
probably a quarter of a mile, hwwm
the Cadillac ran into a Ford and ha
flight was hatted. In the confusion
which followed two of the nuriii es
caped. Ota, however, was later cap
tured and tonight only John Henry
Henry ia at large with officer* of this
and adjoining counties on the look
out for him. The'other three negroes
are in Jail at Graham.
"It was a pitiful sight." said a gen
tleman to your correspondent who
was on the sceae shortly after the
tragedy and who assisted in taing the
wounded to the hospitals. "Lying in
the road was the pretty, golden-hair
ed Rippey child covered with blood
and dying. Lying scattered around
her were other member* of the party
severely bruised and shocked."
That is the *torv tersely told. It
wan one of the wont tragedies on the
highways of Alamance aince the good
road system of North Carolina gave
to the county a paved artery and a
speedway. It is said that Mrs. James
Neese and Mrs. Cola Neeae were ac
companying their children and aome
of their neighbor's children to Trol
lingwood to a moving picture per
formance. They were about a quar
ter of a mile east of Haw River when
the Cadillac coming from the eaat
came along, it ii said, at a clip of 40
miles an hour. The ear evidently
struck the center of the group of ped
estrians since every member of the
party except one Neeae child felt the
impact of the bijt automobile. After
striking the party the car swerved and
graied a bank, but the driver, straigh
tening his machine swung into the
roadway and without stopping to ran
der aid to those ha had killed and
maimed shot hta ear forward at a
fast clip until he drove into the Ford
• short distance west of the accident.
The four netrroes. It is alleged, had
been to eastern North Carolina and
were returning to Winaton-Salan.

against the negroes on the part of|
