OPERATOR MATTOX
DENIES BLAME

LYNCHBURG. Va, Dec. 1.-Tele-
graph Operator G. D. Mattox, who is
charged by officials OF the Southern
Railway with responsibility for the
wreck at Lawyers, has been located at
his home near Rangoon- Tonight L. d.
Mattox, a brother of the operator, gave
out the following statement:
MY brother was on duty at Rangoon
on the night of the 28th. He can
prove that he did not go to sleep and
that he did not leave the office two
minutes. When train No. 33 approached
he let it in the block between Rangoon
and Lawyers. He let 1t into the block
under instructions and he can prove
by witnesses that he tried three times
to get the operator at Lawyers in order
to notify him of the approach of No. 80.
He could not, however. get the re-
Spouse from the Lawyers operator. He
has agreed to show that he got the
block for No. 81. The day operator
can prove that he found him on duty
when he reported at o'clock to re-
lieve him. He did not run away after
the accident. He does not feel that he
is to blame and he has made no effort
to avoid arrest"

Schneider always considered DR.. Gard
ner a cleverer three year old than
Nealon, although his public form is not
nearly as good as is the Sain colts.
Schneider thinks, indeed, that Ban
nockburn has outbred himself in DR..
Gardner. If that is so, DR.. Gardner
does not need the size Weir seems to
think he lacks. Bannockburn was the
best horse the late John E. Mcdonald
Prince Charlie stallion Hayden Ed
wards ever sent to the races and, In
spite of very bad set of legs, he was
a firstrclass horse.

race at Bennings, but her ankle went
back on her the second time out, and
she has been sent to Blue Ridge farm
for the winter Next spring she will
be mated with Islington. Jennings
considers Dainty the best piece of
horsefiesh he ever saddled and parted
with her only after he became con-
WINGED that it was impossible to win
another race with her on account of
her bad leg.

NEW METHOD OF EXTRACTING OH

The acting British Consul at Cadiz
reports that French inventor has
patented in Spain a new process for
the extraction of olive oil, and has
offered the invention to a group of pro-
ducers in the Cadiz district. The pro-
cess is said to consist in extracting the
oil by diffusion In a specially prepared
water after the olives have been crush
ed. This is not to be confused with a
new process of absorption denominated
'procedimiento acapulco" which was
patented this year in Spain. Further
experiments are to be made in De-
cember next with the new seasons
olives, as initial trials made in Car
mora fell short of expectations, ow-
ing to the fact that only an inferior
quality of olives were then available
