COMMISSION DECIDES
EXPLOSIVES CAUSED WRECK
Investigation of A. B. 4 A. Wreck
Results in Substautiation OF
Roads Claims.

Roads Claims.
Atlanta, Sept. 22.-The Atlanta
Birmingham and ATLANTIC freight
train wreck at Cascade crossing,
near Atlanta, on the night of Sep
tember 7, resulting in two deaths,
"was directly caused by the force
of high explosive" in the opinion
of C. M. Gambler, chairman of the
state railroad commission and
Woods H. Hudson, vice, president
and general manager Of the Atlanta
Car and Locomotive works, consti-
tuting a majority Of the special COM
mittee that investigated the wreck
to determine its cause.
William H. Turner, mechanic at
the Georgia railroad shops, the third
member of the committee, dissented
fom the findings Of Messrs. Gambler
and Hudson, and flied with Governor
Harwick minority report, setting
forth his reasons for attributing the
wreck. to defective equipment.
" The reports of the committee were
filed with the governor Wednesday
morning, and were made public by
him without comment. =. / >
The mapority report declares
that in the opinion Of it's author
Messrs. Gambler and Hudson-"th
explosive apparently was a compo-
sition with chlorate Of potassium and
sugar as base, placed underneath
or near the left rail Of the track in
the direction the train was moving,
at a point under or nearly so, the
overhead highway bridge on the
Fairburn road"
In the opinion of Messrs. Gambler
and Hudson the circumstances sur-
rounding the wreck indicate that
the explosive was placed under the
rail. -

SENATOR SCORES
HARDING FOR TRIP

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Am
erican people want more work and
less play" Senator Harrison, Demo-
crat, Mississippi, declared today in
the senate, in describing President
Harding's recent trip to-New York
on the presidential yacht Mayhower.
The trip was taken, he said, "while
millions of Americans were hang
ing their head in shame" because
men who "helped win the war" were
being offered on the acution block
in Boston.
"What the American people want" !"
the Mississippi senator said, "are
more results and fewer recommen-
dations; more meal tickets and few
er bread lines, more prosperity and
fewer poor houses"
Declaing that there were nearly
100000 persons out of employ
ment in the United States, Senator
Harrison charged that the Republi-
cans had failed to keep their cam
paign pledges of increased prosperi-
ty in the country.
Describing recent scenes on Bos-
ton Common when men stripped to
the waist were knocked down to
those bidding highest for their serv-
ice the speaker said that while this
was going on the president had ask
ed the senate to defeat the soldier
adjusted compensation bill.
>"Oh, yes, you promised adjusted
compensation to the soldiers" Sem
ator Harrison said to the Republican
senator's, "and you gave them the
auction block"
Mr.. Harrison made an oratorical
reply to President Harding's recent
enumeration of Republican accom-
plishments during the present ad-
ministration.
He took up Mr.. Harding's letter to
Senator Mccormick, Illinois in which
President aHrding referred to the
monumental achievements of the
G. o. p. both in congess and the
legislative departments
This letter, he said, was "concoct-
ed" by Messrs. Harding and McCor-
mick to be foisted on the people: It's
use in the New Mexico senatorial
campaign just closed was decided on
because Republicans were worried
about New Mexico, Mr.. Harrison as
serted. Reviewing the letter in de-
tail, he pointed out rnat nothing was
said in it about educing the high
cost of living, while credit was taken
for passing the emergency tariff
bill, a measure designed to increase
the cost\of living"
"We've been stuffed up on prom
ises ever since this administration be
gan," declared Mr.. Harrison, refer
ring to promised governmental econ
omies.
Chairman Lasker, of the shipping
board, is firing lot of cheap clerks
and employing men at enormous sal
aries, but expenses are not being re-
duced," he said.

Legally and theoretically there is no such
thing as betting on the races. Actually, it is
AS prevalent as it ever was The police
know it and try to prevent it, but the anti
gambling law is so framed that their success
is Indifferent Makers of handbooks who,
during the racing season, flourish in Jamaica
to such an extent that a brick couldn't be
dropped out of an Office window on Fulton
Street without striking one or two of them,
are arrested every day-and the next day
they are acquitted No matter how hard thew
work or how conscientious they are-and
no suspicion has ever been voiced that
Jamaica's sleuths not Woodworking and
honest-the decisions upon the law are
such that it is almost impossible for the Of
ficers to prove that man is bookmaker
even though one Of his pockets is full of coin
and another Of racing slips
There is no secrecy in Jamaica as to who
the bookmakers or where they can be
found. Everybody knows them The police
know them, too, and do not hesitate to arrest
them. One Jamaica "bookie'' is arrested once
OF twice each week during the racing season,
and probably once month during the re-
mainder OF the year, but he has yet to face
his first conviction, although everybody knows
what his business is. It simply cannot be
legally proved.
Many stories are told each year in Jamaica
OF the sudden rise to fortune of some track
follower. An Italian barber was credited
with cleaning up $4,000 last year at the
Jamaica tracks. During this seasons spring
meet ne is understood to have dropped it all,
and then some. Jamaica streetcar con-
