QUIZ OPENS;
OTHERS ARE
DYING

OLNEY, Va, Dec. 2 0N.SN
With ten persons dead and three
others near death, investigation
was launched today into the
piling up of seven coaches OF a
Pennsylvania Railroad Norfolk-to-
New York excursion train here
yesterday.
There were 488 passengers on
the train when it jumped the
track and piled up in a twisted
mass of wreckage scarcely a hun
dred yards from the Olney sta-
ton.
The accident was believed to
have been caused by a broken
rail. The engine and first two
ears of the ten-car train passed
without mishap, but the thru
and fourth cars were deralled
and turned over. The last SIX
ears were derailed.
Sailor Is Hero
The third car carried white
and the fourth negro passengers.
It was in these two cars that all
the dead and most of the a. in
jured we're riding.
A sailor from the battleshlp
Oklahoma was the individual
hero of the tragedy. Although
badly injured, he rushed into the
third car where a panic had
broken out and took charge,
issuing orders and attending to
the injured.
He knocked down two men
who, apparently under the in
fluence of liquor, were fighting
their way through screaming
women and children in an effort
to escape.
The sailor was identified later
as Karl F. Chenowith, chief
boatswain's mate, who is at
tached to the U. S. S. Omaha.
His home is in Philadelphia.
The wrecked train, all coaches,
was one of the special excursions
run by the Pennsylvania railroad
at reduced rates. The coaches
contained about 500 passengers,
approximately evenly divided be-
tween whites and negroes.
Cold Hampers Work
The intense cold hampered the
rescuers in the work of reaching
the injured who were pinned be-
meath the coaches.
Wrecking crews were dis
patched from this city upon the
receipt Of the news of the wreck
at the diSpatcher's office.
The crash of the derailed train
as it tore Up several hundred feet
of track aroused the farmers in
the vicinity and they took the in
