RAIN COVERED WINDSHIELD
SAYS CHAUFFEUR AT STATION
Ed Hayes, sevent.sn-ysar-old negro
chauffeur «f the car that figured in the
tragedy of Monday night, occupies a
cell In ths police station, pending trial
before Recerdcr Broyles on the charge
of violating the road ordinance. Hayes
Insist* that the accident was unavold-
able and that he did all he could to
prevent It. _ - ,
His statsment, as given Tuesday
morning' to a Georgian rsportsr. Is as
follows: . *■
"Mra Moody, Miss Annie Woods and
Mr. Jake Johnson were In the car at
the time of the accident and I wag
driving them out home. When wi
reached the corner of Gordon and Lee
sts. In West End the first heavy down
pour of rsln came, and I Wss told to
stop the car. The passengers then got
out and waited until ths rain slocked.
We than started again, going out Gor-
dnn-sa Just befora reaching Holder-
ness-st. another hard rain commenced
to fall and beat with such force on the
wind shield I could hardly see out. A
short distance away I saw ths headlight
of a car, which seemed to me to be
standing at Holderness-st, As I ap
proached ths car I was running about
Iftesn miles an hour. Just before I got
to It, I slowed down to about ten miles.
"Just as I passed the front end of the
car something white suddenly appeared
In front or me. J didn't know whether
It was a woman or what It wae, ths
wind shield was go wet. But I prompt,
ly choked dawn my car, shutting off the
motor and lotklnr the wheels v[—- —
emergency brakee. But the car
stop. It skidded over the wet pavement.
A pair of new tires had just been pat
on the rear wheels In the afternoon and
they didn't have any chains on. This is
why the ear skidded.”
At this Juncture the chauffeur ex
pressed some doubt that he struck Miss
Edwards and Mrs. Dobbs.
A roadster was Just In front of ms,"
he said, “having pasted m. Just before
L got to the trolley car, and this auto
may bare struck the ladles. I know I
didn't strike but on, of them, anyway.
And my car didn’t run against her. It
just skidded against bar.”
Hayes says he has been driving for
Mra. Moody tor two and a half years
and that hs baa never before had an
accident.
“I have alway* been careful,” he sold.
T have driven along that earns street
eight and ten times every day for two
years and a half and this Is my first
accident.”
Hayes*ias been In police coart once
before, however, for speeding, and on
this occasion was fined $15.71. This
was on Morph 2t. this year.

SUunisn, Vs., Oct. 17.—After making
the longest day’s run of the tour Mon
day. the Glldden tourists got away till*
morning under lowering skies on the
shortest full day’s Jaunt of the tour.
The machines will be asked to cover
but a fraction over 00 miles today, less
than half the dlstanoe they covered
'ay. A schedule calling for.twenty
an.hour for th, big cars, eighteen
for the next division and sixteen for the
small cars was required. But let no-
bbdy supposo It will be an easy rub.
The roads from here to Roanoke arc
normally bad, but as It haa rained thru
this section for two days post they ars
likely to bo virtually bottomless.
It will be remembered that It was In
this section of the road thst so many
cars bogged tn tho Atlanta-td-New
York run last ■ year and many were
sewed up,so badly that cars had to be
sent from Staunton clear to Lexlngtoiu
some 20 miles, to haul them in. From
here to Lexington there Is bound to ba
trouble. From there on to Natural
Bridge the going should not be so un
utterably bad.
The morning run will bo 52 miles and
the afternoon jaunt to Roanoke only 21,
All the cars checked out In good order
end the start was more ausplolous thou
tho finish Is likely to be.
Over the Blue Ridge,
The going on Monday was good, as
the traveling Sunday warbqd. Monday
morptng found the tourtstg apprahen-
slve of a hard day's .work. But their
fears proved wasted., A %r •
The morning run, thn It carried th
cars nttr the Blue ftldgs, was flna go
ing. With a slow schedule In force and
with good muds under the tires, the
tourists rolled along smoothly and all o'
them checked Into Winchester for luncl
with time to throw away.
. In ths afternoon a higher speed ached
ulo was In force, but the roads were
perfect and no trouble was experienced.
Only on# car fnlled to. turn up In
Staunton, tho night control, on time,
nnd that was an B-M-F. That doesn't
count, tho, as the man driving It was
trying some stunts with a near-solid
lire anil naturally was having more
than his share of trouble with ine fast
schedule. Ho turned up early In the
evening,
A man would be pussled to figure out
finer roads, better dbontry nnd nlcor
weather than greeted the tourists Mon
day, After traveling down the Shen
andoah valley, ono Isn't surprised that
tM M
pm
surely live In some of tbe grandest
country- Going over tho ‘Blue Ridge
the clouds dropped down and obscured
a lot df wonderful scenery and likewise
made It rather messy running, for you
can't see twenty feet ahead thru a good
stiff Blue Ridge cloud. Once down to
the level of ordinary roads, tho country
began to unfold and all day the tourists
beat It between beautiful green fields
nd past farms of a prosperity so boun-
ful that It stuck right ouL
Harrisonburg a Crab Spot,
All along the road the people seemed
glad to see the tourists end there were
Impromptu celebrations galore every
where, save at Harrisonburg, Vs., Just
before Staunton was reached. And, by
:he way, stick a pin In the name of
IlnrrlsontMlrg and remember It U It
