search a womans grip, throw away
things of no value to him and take
those things that he wanted. Mr.. Cur
tbs declared he would ahve killed the
porter had he had weapon.
Coroner G. w. Davis, at the request
of the Southern officials, went to the
wreck to hold an inquest, but found
the bodies had been removed. He
could not say tonight what steps
would be taken.
The Jacksonville express had the
right of way in the block. The en-
gine broke away from the train and
proceeded a mile beyond Lawyers be-
fore the engineer noticed he was with
out his train. 1t may be that when
he passed Lawyers the operator gave
Rangoon clear block without notic-
ing whether the rear end markers were
visible before he did so.
Operator Missing
In the absence of an official state
ment this explanation Is being accept
ed here. IT is possible that the Ran
goon operator let the Atlanta train
into the block on an order from Law
yers that the block was clear, the OPP
orator there thinking the trainless en-
gine clear of the block and the rear
train was past Rangoon before 1t
could be stopped when the mistake
was discovered. Should investigation
show that the Lawyers operator gave
a clear track without noticing the
absence of the rear end markers then
the cause of the accident was at Law
yers. Only an official investigation
will reveal this.
At 10:30 tonight it was ascertained
from a reliable source that ID. j. Mad
dux, the operator at Rangoon, who was
on duty at the time of the accident,
had disappeared. Railway officials
are trying to locate him.

SEVEN KILLED IN
TRAIN WRECK

They were literally covered with
heavy baggage thrown through the
partition from the baggage compart-
ment. They were badly hurt and all
sustained cuts and bruises.
The rescue work was begun as soon
as the news of the wreck was re-
ceived here. A special train was
quickly made up and doctors hurried
to the scene A fire engine from the
Lynchburg department was sent to the
wreck, but on account of conflagra-
tion here it was not dispatched until
$3.50 o'clock and di not reach the ac-
cident until an hour and a half later
because the relief train with the in
jured passengers had the right of
track between the wreck and Ran
goon, the nearest telegraph office.
Presidents Car in Rear
The Jacksonville train was composed
of mail car, con- Animation baggage
and passenger coach, two Pupmans
and President Spencer's car, which
was at the rear The sleeper in front
of Mr.. Spencer's car was wrecked, but
not burned. The regular day coach
and a forward Pullman were practic-
ally uninjured, but the combination
coach, second from the engine was
crushed and it was in this car that all
the negroes among the injured were
crushed. They were unable to escape
from the baggage hurld upon them
and many would have died but the
rescuers saved them.
Several cases were reported in which
persons ransacked the wrecked cars
for plunder. Some of the passengers
are said to have participated in this
and a large amount of valuables and
money scattered about the debris was
taken.
Mr.. Curtis, the jamestown, N. Y,
man who led the rescue work, In talk
ing to the representative Of the AS
sociated Press, said:
"It appeared to me that the passen-
gers who were uninjured were dazed
and they did not appear to realize
that something must be done. l talked
to them and they began to work. You
never saw men work harder in your
life.
Baby Not Hurt
"In the rear of the Pullman which
was smashed there was mother with
6-months-old babe. They were In

smashed. but, strange to say, they
were not hurt in the slightest. They
were gotten out and taken to safety.
think there were at least five bodies,
including Mr.. Spencer, that were cre-
mated. AS far as l know the train
attaches did not aid in the first relief
because they had gone both ways to
protect the two trains from other and
more serious trouble"
Mr.. Curtis has in his possession a
valuable case of jewels which was
handed to him by lady. He did not
know TO whom II belongs and why il
was handed him. 1t evidently is the
property Of some one of means, as II
contains q heavy set diamond ring

FIND FRAGMENT
OF OLD GOSPEL
PAPYRI MOST VALUABLE TO
LITERATURE
Discovery includes Words Not Found
In New Testament and Is Vle-
orous in Style and
PhraseoIogy
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov pa cable dis
patch to the TribunS from London
says:
1t now is possible to give further
details of the remarkable find of
papyri as q result of the efforts of
Drs. Grenfell and Hunt of the
Greco Roman branch of the Egypt ex-
ploration fund of Oxyrhynchus. The
find consists of no fewer than 1870
boxes of papyri ranging i'm date from
the second century b. c. to the sixth
century A. d. They comprise all
classes of literature, many fragments
of lost and even unknown classical
works and some most important frag-
ments unknown to Christian literature.
The most important find is q frag-
ment of vellum containing $50 lines
of Gospel which has a variation from
the authorized version. The subject
is the visit of Jesus and his disciples
to the temple of Jerusalem and their
meeting there with the Pharisee who
rebukes them for their failure to per-
form the necessary ceremonial of puri-
fication. In the dialogue which fol-
lows, which resembles in some respects
Matthew 1926 the Pharisee describes
with considerable fullness and detail
the formalities he has observed, where
upon Jesus delivers an eloquent,
crushing reply, contrasting outward
with inward purity.
Its Literary Value
With regard to the literary value
of the fragment the discovered makes
some remarks. He says:
Among the most remarkable fea-
lures of the fragment it is cultivated
STYLE picturesqueness vigor of phrase
ology, which includes several words
not found in the New Testament. and
it's display of curious familiarity with
the topography of the temples and the
Jewish ceremonies of publication.
There can be little doubt when the
fragment is published, as it shortly
will be, that there will be as much con-
troversy among theologians as was
provided by the discovery of The
Sayings of Jesus in another mound.
"Other Christian fragments of con-
siderable value were found. including
a vellum leaf of fourth or fifth century
of the lost Greek original of the acts
of st. Peter. which are known only in
Latin and leaf of papyrus of an un-
known version of the acts of ST.
John.
Finds Important
"The finds in the section of classical
literature are most important. The
first is a papyrus containing no fewer
than thirteen columns of over sixty
lines of paeans of Pindar in good
preservation and portions of several
volumes. Next in Importance is roll
containing about 100 lines of the trag-
edy of 'Hippolytus' of Euripides and
many fragments of Plato, the speech of
Demosthenes against Boethius and
some of the manuscript fragments of
the poems of Sappho.
Mention also should be made of an
,,nlxnnxyD history Of Greece which diff
fers in many respects from that Of
Xenophon."
1t will take a long time to unroll,
join and examine this important find,
all of which has been removed to Eng
land, but the explorers are to be con-
graduated on their brilliant harvest
of literature.

COAST TENNIS.

Two new coast tennis championships
were developed recently on the Hotel
Rafael courts: Melville Long wresteu
the title from George James, while Miss

finals OF the laGies' singles. The cham
pionship title went to Miss HOtchkiss
through the default Of Miss May SUIT!
ton.
Both matches were won In straight
sets, but were rather interesting con-
sidering the scores. The first match
between Miss Hotchkiss and Miss Dob
bins resulted In an easy victory for
the former. The little Berkeley girl
'outplayed her opponent from start to
finish, and 1t was evident from the In
oeption OF tho match that she would
win. Miss Dobbins drove splendidly
at times. but her opponents strong net
game proved too much for the south
ern expert.
The match between Long and James.
while rather one-sided. was closer than
the score would indicate. Long won
the first set easily. He took the first
two games, but lost the next two. James
failed to win another game, the set
going to Long. G-2.
James had an excellent chance to win
the second set, but was overanxious at
the critical moment and fell down mis-.
erably He led ut 5-4 and 4O-l5, but
instead of taking chances as he did AZ
all other times during the match he
played cautiously and g. ,e Long two
easy chances. After getting on an
even footing Long ran the set out cas-
lily by score Of 7-5.
