Blame for Wreck Fixed on Ope
ratorat Rangoon.
Lynchburg, Va.. Dispatch, Not. 80th.
The cause of the awful wreck
near Lawyers Depot 10 miles
south of this city, yesterday
morning, in which President
Samuel Spencer and his party
of prominent New York and Bal
A ' lilt 1
nmore men tost tneir lives, is
laid absolutely at the door of C.
D. Mattoax, the operator who
was in charge of the block tele
graph station at Rangoon, Mat
toax, who disappeared after be
ing relieved less than an hour
after the wreck, has nof been
found, despite the fact that rail
way detectives have scour d the
country around the wreck and
his home at Sandy Level, in
Pittsylvania county, some 40
miles from the scene of the acci
dent, on a small branch line of
the Southern.
An official of the Southern
Railway late this afternoon
stated that the company was
desirous of apprehending Mat
toax in order to secure a state
ment from him that might throw
some light on the causes that
led him to allow two trains in the
same block at the same time.
This official was not prepared to
state today whether or not the
company would take steps to
prosecute the missing operator
and he did not then know if he
could prosecuted under the
laws of the State of Virginia.
An examination of the tele
graph sheets kept at the Ran
goon and Lawyers block offices
by the representative of The
Associated Press discloses the
fact that Mattoax train No. 33,
the Jacksonville express, upon
the block, the train passing his
station, getting a clear track
from him at 6:00 o'clock. , The
operator at Lawyers, the next
station ahead, claimed that Mat
toax did not ask him for a ''clear
track" for No. 33, and he there
fore, did not know this train had
"passed Rangoon. The block
sheet at Lawyers bears out this
claim. The sheets at both offices
show that the operator at Ran
goon asked Lawyers for a clear
track for No. 37, a Washington &
Southwestern vestibuled limited,
and the Lawyers operator, not
knowing No. 33 was in the block
gave No. 37 the right of way at
6:14 and No. 37 passed Rangoon
at that time. Simmered down,
if Mattoax at Rangoon, had re
ported train N. 33 in the block
at Lawyers, then there would
have been no accident, because
the operator at Lawyers would
have held No. 27 at Rangoon un
til the Jacksonville train had
cleared the block at Lawyers, no
matter how long the delay1 might
have been between the two offi
ces. ladies' Skirts and Jacket at cost at W

Changes In Endowment Bank
Knights of Pythias.
CbralctU Observer.
Pythians throughout the State
will he interested in learning
something about toe changes in
the endowment rank which goes
into effect with the new year. At a
meeting of the supreme council,
held in Chicago some time ago,
it was decided to establish anoth
er class in "jihe endowment rank,
known as the fifth class, the pre
sent class being the fourth class.
In the new order of things, tho
maximum amount of insurance
available is $5,000 which can be
secured in policies of $500 and
upward. It provides further
more that those who are carry
ing $3,000, the present limit; or
less, may take out new insurance
in the fifth class in any amount,
just so the maximum is not over
stepped. There are changes in
the rates and a more careful phy
sican examination is required.
In the fifth class there are
five options. Option a provides
insurance with a level premium,
very similar to that given in the
old line companies. After three
years the policy becomes incon
testible and on nonpayment of
the premium, a paid-up policy or
extended insurance may be se
cured. The rates rre less than
those' in the level premium com
panies, such as the New York
Life, the Mutual Life, the Equi
table; the Penn Mutual, Mutual
Benefit, Northwestern and the
like. Option B"offers a twenty
year paid-up policy, the privi
leges being the same as in option.
A Optians C D and E offer term
policies, and others, all planned
after those in vogue with the
level premium companies.
Mr- George H. Royster, of
Greensboro, endowment bank
organizer tor .North and. bouth
Carolina, was in the city yester-
terday, and in conversation with
an Observer reporter, stated that
the literature descriptive of the
changes would be sent the offi
cers of each lodge throughout
the State at the earliest possible
moment.
