and the three upper floors only were
swept. On the ninth floor 50 bodies
were found; 63 or more persons were
crushed to death byv jumping and
more than 30 clogged the elevator

minutes. Before the engines could
respond, before the: nets could be

been for the wreck. His sweetheart,
Miss Elsie Shippey, of Pasadena, Cal.,
who was on the train with him, and
to whom he was to have been mar
ried, in Jacksonville, remained at the
wreck throughout the day" and night
watching the efforts of the rescuers
to recover . Watson's body.
The cars plunged into the river
without a moment's warning to the
sleeping passengers, when an axle on
the engine suddenly snapped when
midway of the trestle. The locomo

URGING EX-
V. AYCOCK
REPORTED MOVEMENTCOF CER
TAIN DEMOCRATS TOURING
HIM OUT FOR SENATE
THREE-CORNERED FIGHT
Raleigh, N. C, March 27. Judging
from the talk one hears all about the
city and through the State offices
there is a steady development in the
reported' movement of certain "pro
gressive Democrats" to bring out a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate to oppose both Senator Simmons
and his present avowed opposing
candidate, Governor W. W. Kitchin.
The most strenuous political contest
within party lines that has probably
ever been known in the State has
been assured for some time in the ,
Simmons-Kitchin race for the Senate
two years hence and now the indica-.
tions of a three-cornered fight still
further complicates the situation.
The latest estimate of the situa
tion is that certain influential Demo
crats terming themselves "progres
sives are making a determined
search for a third candidate, who they
believe could walk away with the
nomination for the United States
Senate in a three-cornered fight. Ex
Governor Charles B. Aycock is said
to have received hundreds of letters
the past few days from all parts of
the State fronr 'Democrats urging him -to
become a candidate and assuring
him that they believe he could win
and in doing so avert what they be
lieve v.'ill be a Kitchin-Simmons con
test within the party that micht roal-
ly destroy Democracy as a dominant
political factor for the time In this
S ate. Ex-Governor Aycock is an out.
spoken advocate of the re-election of
F. M. Simmons to succeed! himselt
in the Senate and not a great while
ago declared in newspaper inter
views that he could in no way be in
duced .to become a candidate for the
United States Senate, especially if his
personal and political friend, Senator
Simmons, asked to be returned,
which he "is doing quite aggressively
at this time.
It is said that whether Governor
Aycock decides to get in the race af
ter' all or not the "progressives" re
sponsible for the pressure being
brought to bear cn him are determin
ed to get an opponent for Simmons
and Kitchin.
E. J. Justice, of Greensboro, former
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, is being mentioned with spe
cial frequence's a possible candi
date. Chief Justice Walter Clark 13
also much in the limelight in this re
spect and there are numerous sur
mises as to whether he could be in
duced to give up the Chief Justiceship
and try for the Senatorshlp. There is
much speculation as to just who is
behind this "progressive" movement,
a frequent expression of opinion be
ing that National Committeeman and
Editor Josephus Daniels is . particu
larly interested in the movement.
