A MAN BURIED ALIVE
JAMES MAJOR DEAD AS RESULT
OF ACCIDENT.
Was at Work in Excavation wheu,
Banks Caved In-Coroner
Takes Action.

James Major, colored Of BANDS court
northwest was buried alive in a sand Die
at the intersection of Grant Circle and Hi.
nois avenue, Petworth, about 10 o'clock
THIS morning. He was taken out dead
about half an hour later. Coroner hewitt
was notified at once of the accident and he
will make an investigation this afternoon.
The body has been removed to the morgue.
AS the banks Of sand closed in on Major,
several OF his fellow workmen stood on
solid ground, out of danger. but powerless
to aid him. These men were Allen Young,
colored. Of 1918 ga street: William Penn,
colored. sos Gordon avenue northeast; John
Buchanan Of 1919 81 street northwest,
Benjamin jackson of Is F street north
west, Frank Jackson of Is F street north
west, Charles L. Stewart Of 1918 9h street
and George Smith of 1919 81 street all
OF whom were working outside of the pit.
The pit Is a small one being only about
ten feet In diameter and about twelve feet
deep. The work OF excavation has been
going on for some time. and usually but
one man has worked in the pit. Major was
so employed this morning, and was using
denly. without warning to him, the banks
on all sides began to give way-first from
one side and then from another. Major
was helpless. Finally, sand came from all
directions and he was pinned down and
completely covered up. Caught like q rat
in a trap there was absolutely no path Of,
escape.
Attempt at Rescue.
When the running of the sand ceased tho
seven men named did what they could to
help their companion. who was suffocating'
in the closely packed sand. He was buried
under several feet Of it. and as each shoveis
full was taken out more sand would run into!
II place. 1t was slow work, but the men
worked hard. hoping they could reach Ma
jor before life was extinct. Each urged the
other on. although the work was exhaust<i
ing, and they strained every muscle.
For half an hour they shoveled sand, and
then the body OF their companion was 10.
Gated. When they first touched II they re-
newed their efforts and soon released the
body. An examination was made to see X
Majors heart was beating, but no trace OF
life could be found. and the exhausted men
laid the body of their companion beside the
pit In which he lost his life.
The police of the tenth precinct were no
titled Of the accident. and Policeman Green
was dispatched to the scene. He made an
investigation and notified the coroner.
When Coroner hewitt was told OF the &C.
cident he ordered that the body be removed
to the morRue at once. and also requested
that the police photographer go to the scena
and secure a picture Of the cavern. He ex-
planned that as many similar accidents had
occurred in the past few weeks he thought
special attention should be given this one.
1t is not improbable that an inquest will bel
held to determine the exact cause Of the acs'
cident. a.,

REV. EDWARD B. BAGBY.

Rev. Edward B. Bagby, pastor of the
Ninth Street Christian Church, this city,
has received a unanimous call from the
congregation of the Franklin Circle Church
Of Christ Of Cleveland, Ohio, and 1t Is
understood that he Is giving it favorable
consideration. The call was extended
through the executive council Of the Cleve-
land church last Monday night. Mr.. Bagby
was invited to preach at the church last

made was such that a unanimous call was

He received his early education in Rich
