AUTO DRIVER KILLED IN ACCIDENT Julian Nixon Victim As Speeding Car Leaves Highway; Turns Over >Two Young Women Companions also Hurled from Auto, but Ap parently Escaped Serious In jury; at Hospital Here Grim tragedy swept in on i the heels of Hertford's most brilliant social event of the season last night, snuffing out the life of the bride's bro ther, and resulting in more or less injuries to two young women, One of them the sister of the bridegroom. Julian Nixon, aged 25, paid | with his life the penalty for yield- i log to the lure of a fast automo bile and a well paved road when, while traveling at high speed on the State Highway about four miles this side of Hertford, his Studebaker sport roadster escaped control, left the road and turned turtle, pitching out Its occupants before coming to rest, right side up, against a fence almost direct ly in front of the Perquimans County almshouse. Tlfc? accident occurred a few minutes after 6 o'clock. Two hours later, young Nixon was dead. His two companions were given first aid treatment at the almshouse, _and later were brought to the Elisabeth City Hoh Jial. where they are atUl under ?peatinent. Dr. John Saliba, sur PgVfca in chargo at the hospital. ' stated this morning that both! were suffering from shock, pain ful scalp wounds and a multitude of bruises, but that there were no I outward Indications of Internal In juries to either. The young women are Miss Anne Thompson Oakey, of Salem, i Virginia, and Miss Ruth Mason, of Roanoke, Virginia. Miss Mason was obviously in intense pain this , morning, and this prompted at tending doctorw to-be keenly on the lookout for the first Indication that she wan Internally injured. Miss Oakey Is a sister of Walter Oakey, whose marriage to Miss Marjorie Nixon, sister of Julian, was solemnized yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at the Episcopal Church In Hertford, with many in attendance. Miss Oakey had come to Hertford to attend the cere mony. Miss Mason was a teacher in the Hertford schools during the past term, and had stayed over for the wedding before returning to her home for the summer. According to reports current nt the scene of the accident last night, Nixon and the Misses Oakey j and Mason had left Hertford en routa to the country home of the Nlxons. He was a son of Thomas Nixon, wealthy retired farmer of Perquimans County, who now re- 1 sides- In Hertford, but who main- I tains his beautiful country place, idtwated oerhaps a mile east of the point Where the accident hap-, pened. - At this Juncture, tho story may i Tftff takfn up by Clinton Wll MliainH, colored, who wan an rye %itneas ot (be accident. WlillAai was busy butchering hogs in the Held In (root of the almshouse at tflO' time. His version of the tragedy follows: . Nixon, driving bin car at high b peed, passed a sedsn going in the | same * direction a short dis tance to the went of the almshouae. 1 Aa he passed It. his roadster Isft the concrete to tho" left, then swung to the right, turning over I completely sldewlse and pitching out the thrr#- occupants. Will lama ran out to the road, j and waa assisted by an unidenti fied man who happened along In an automobile In carrying the In- ! Jured Into the almshouse yard, i Nixon, he declared, waa conscious, { and when somebody mentioned , going after a doctor. Mid he didn't j want one for himself. He had a "big soft spot" In his Side, the i colored nisn said he noticed In i picking him up, and evidently hsd j been crushed In by the terrific fall. Nixon soon lapsed Into uncon-j aclousness. and died two houra 1 later. The glrla, too. were conaclous, and obvloualy had bean leas seri ously hurt than Nixon, though they were cut badly about the face, and head.

WADSWORTH IS SENSATION FOR WETS AND DRYS ChIIh for ltrpeal of Eigh 1 leenth Amendment and Subotitution of Law Giv I ing Power to Congreiw DRYS CONCEDE LOGIC 1 The y Prefer An Out and Out Statement liuatead of EfTortx to Modify Vol stead Act I!) I>\VII) UWKKM'K i?M. w? Tit* h?hikii | Washington. June 10? -Senatoii j Wadsworth'i* statement calling ? for the repeal of the eigh teenth amendment and the substitution for It of another I amendment conferring on Con jgress on the power to deal, with I the prohibition question has pro Idured a political sensation here, i The New York Senator Is the : first Republican of National prom inence In Congres* to go to the heart of the modification contro versy and derlarga frankly for the repeal of the eighteenth amend ment with a constructive alterna tive. In this respect even the "drya" concede there is mere logic In Mr. Wadsworth's method of at tack than in any of the crlea for modification of the Volstead Act which have been the basis of the prohibition agitation for several years. The drys have always preferred an out-and-out statement that the Isbuo cannot b? settled by modifi cation of the Volstead Act hut can only be changed when the eigh teenth amendment to the Constl i tution is modified. The fact that Mr. Wadsworth will make the fight for renomlna j t Ion and reelection on the plat form he has Just announced make* the race In the empire state of National significance, especially since the drys have aelected a candidate to oppose him on that I very ground. I Mr. Wadsworth's point Is that inasmuch an the framers of the Constitution conferred on Con gress such all-Important powers as .the regulation of interstate com ! merce. It Is wise to entrust to Con igress general powers over the 'manufacture sale and transporta tion of alcoholic beverages. His argument is that If the Constitu tion wore to be phraned In the , form of statutes It would have Ion* ago proved a worthless doc ument A parallel would have been tho enactment of an amend ment npeclfylng the exact rates 'that could be charged by railroads Instead of conferring on Congress the right to name a commission to listen to arguments and change 'the rates according to changing economic conditions. The Now York Senator'* pro poaal is that a simple conatltu llonal amendment giving broad power* to Cointreau la the logical way to handle thla and other ques tion* In which changing condi tion* mar call for different leg I Islatlon. Under the clrcumstan re*, he feela that the people have tied their own hand* and cannot really modify the Volatead act ?cry much unleaa they change the phraieology of the eighteen' h amendment too. The drya welcome a battle along tho*e line* becaune hoth the Weat i and Routh contain enough dry I state* to hlock any change In | the eighteenth amendment It j takea Juat one more atate than one fourth, namely thirteen atatea in all. to vote agalnat a change In the eighteenth amendment and the pmpo*al would be lout. The dry* feel they can alwgys command the I reto power. At for the weta they have begun 1 an educational campaign In the hope of persuading the dry states that the laaue la not *lmply wheth , er the country shall be wet or dry hut whether the constitution Itaolf i ahall be made the Niihject of leg- ' iRlatlon or whether Congrea* shall 1 he given general power* to legl* 1 late.
