Conference Postponed.

Havana, November 30-The conference
between Governor Magoon and Cuban
senators and representatives chosen TO Of
flee at the last election called originally
for tomorrow has been postponed until
Sunday. The purpose OF this conference
continues TO be matter of speculation.
Governor Magoon still declines to discuss
1t save to say that he desires to con-
suit with the chairman in person. The
liberals are still confident that the gov
ernor intends TO require the resignation
of the members OF congress preparatory
to fixing a date for new elections

Out His Brains With
Pistol.

Atlanta November 30.-John f. Cooper,

OPERATOR BLAMED
FOR WHOLE TROUBL e
c. D. Mattoax Has Disappeared and All
Efforts to Locate Him Have
Been Futile.

Lynchburg, Va, November 3o.-The
cause of the awful wreck near Law
yers depot Thursday morning, in which
President Samuel Spencer and his party
lost their lives, is laid absolutely at the
door of C. d. Mattoax, the operator who
was in charge of the bic :, telegraph sta
tion at Rangoon. Mattoax, who disap-
peared less than an hour after the wreck,
has not been found despite the fact that
railroad detectives have secured the coun-
Try around the wreck and his home at
Sandy Level, forty miles from the scene
of the accident
An official of the Southern railway late
this afternoon stated that the company
is desirous of apprehending Mattoax to
secure statement that might throw some
light on the causes that lead 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 prose-
cute the missing operator and he did not
then know If he could be prosecuted. I'M
der the laws of the state of Virginia.
Allowed Two Trains In Block.
An examination of telegraph sheets
kept at the Rangoon and Lawyers block
offices, discloses the fact that Mattoax
allowed train No. 80, the Jacksonville
express, upon the DlOck, tne tram pass
ing his station and getting a clear track
from him at 6:06 o'clock. The operator
at Lawyers, the next station ahead,
claimed that Mattoax did not ask him
sfo- a "clear track" for No. %, and he
therefore. did not know this train had
passed Rangoon. The block at Lawyers
bears out this claim.
Simmered down, if Mattoax, at Ran
COON, had reported train No. 90 on the
block to Lawyers. then there would have
been no accident, because the operator
at Lawyers would have held No. 81 at
Rangoon until the Jacksonville train had
scleared the block at Lawyers, no matter
how long the delay might have been
between the two offices

Danvile division. late this afternoon, ex-
planned that the report that the engine
of the forward train had gone some dis

NINE COMMISSION
DISCUSSED PROPOSED new LAWS
PRESIDENT LEAVES FOR
BRIDGEPORT.

CHARLESTON. Oct. 2O-Nearly all
Of yesterday was spent in arguing the
question before the mining law COM
mission as to whether new miners
should be assigned to work with prac
tlcal miners for one year. National
Vice President Lewis and State Pres.
ident John Nugent contende1 for the
provision, as did William Warner,
deputy inspector. Former Governor
fleming. William LANG and Commits.
sloner Judy spoke against it. Mr.,
Lewis left for home at noon and the
miners lost one OF their best speakers.
John Roam, general manager of the
Sunday Creek Coal Co., made an ad-
dress asking for the enactment of new
laws. but it would be a mistake to
ask for too many, better n few that
will be enforced. He thought one
hrndrNd feet near enough for break
throughs.
The principal fight in the commits.
sion will be over the inexperienced
lalner proposition. The miners made
a fight for 1t on the ground as an
essential to the protection Of life.

THE wore esrrER.

~
The Warrington Record hits the
nail squarely on the Caput as follows:
Never before in any political cam.
paign has any party had such a
clInching argument as have the Re.
publlcans of West Virginia this year
in presenting the workings Of the new
tax law. The tax bills tell the tale.
All that is necessary to say to the
Democrats is watch your tax bills. =
If 1t is true that there are but two
things in this world tat we could
heretofore safely count on namely,
Death and taxes" We can add a
third sure thing in November great
Republican victory. The most con.
vincing speeches that can be made
this fall are spoken by eighty or nine.
ty per cent. of the individual tax bills.
They represent good savings to the
Republicans and Democrats. Cur.
tailed expense is money saved. And
money talks. Hence the reduced tax
bills of 1906 have merged into regular
political talking machines and vote
getters."

ANOTHER SENSATIONAL DEvEL
oPMENT IN THE WHARF

WHEELING, Oct. 2O.-After chaI.
longing the living Harry BIgler Neck.
ley to appear before her. and after Wig.
orously denying the accusation of her
mother, Mrs. James o. DAWSON, the
Bellaire woman, who was responsible
for the complications added to the
Wheeling wharf mystery by identify
ing the dead body found on the wharf
two weeks ago as her brother, left
Bellaire Friday morning.
Mr.. Dawson, upon learning the de
yelopments brought about by his al.
legged wife, came home from his work
at the BellaIre steel, plant Tuesday
morning and it is presumed that dur,
ing the day planned their flight, the

day night. The pair left no word as to
their destination and friends have no
knowledge whsre they have gone.
Prior to Mrs. Dayison's departure 1t
is said she called on the owner of the
house aud paid her rent. Later she
was seen with suit case and trunk
and it is believed she left. The actions
of the pair in leaving at this time has
caused much comment among Bellaire
people, and many believe the accusa-
tons of the mother OF the woman were
of such character as to cause them
to fear the law, compelling them to
pull up stakes and leave.
