 & A. Business Agent
By Associated Presa

Atlanta, Ga, Sept 14.-The state investigation into the fatal wreck of an Atlanta. Birmingham x Atlantic Railway freight train here last week was brought to close late today and the commissioners announced that on completion of certain tests they would prepare their report
 Attorneys for the road sought to show the wrecL was caused by an explosive being placed on the track of such acts since non union workers replaced striking union men last spring Counsel for the unions charged that the wreck, which caused the deaths of two tralnmen. resulted from defective equipment. Tilts be- tween counsel and witnesses became so lively at times that Chairman Candler once threatened to call off the hearing.
 Harry Hawkins, superintendent Of the road. told the commission today he sent out a general warning on the night of the wreck because or the actions of two men in Manches-
 
 to leave town the night before each previous wreck or attempted wreck. He did not name them. Witnesses for the road declared the engine wheel which was whirled some dis tance away in the wreck had passed inspection at the shops shortly be- fore that night. Another witness de- clared there was an explosion of such force that 1t knocked a Bible off table in a house quarter of mile from the scene.
 Tn bringing forward testimony re- garding the alleged loose wheel that union men claim caused the wreck, A. c. Whipple. business agent for the machinists' union, declared any member of the union guilty or placing an explosive under train would be expelled, but he was posi- tive in his statements that no such thing had been done. He declared such an act would merit hanging.
 w. J. Patterson, representing the interstate commerce commission will remain here for a short time longer inuuirinE, into the wreck.

AMERICA SUGGESTS FARLEY SUBJECTS FOR ARMS MEETING
United States T Ao ative In Dissr,. ss@sSS Confer ence oxn Proposing
 Meetng'S Objects
By Associated Press

Washington, September l4--The American government again has taken the initiative in the armament negotiations by suggesting to the other powers a tentative list of sub jects for discussion at the coming conference here.
 The proposal IS forwarded to the foreign capitals for consideration does not go the length, however, of enumerating all the specific contro- versies which this government con siders pertinent to the armament dis cussion. It is confined rather to a grouping of broad questions of policy without any attempt to speculate as to what particular cases may arise under them
 So far none of the invited nations has replied formally to the sugges- ton but officials are understood to have received encouraging reports of the reception of the list abroad. It was drawn up on the basis of exten- sive informal exchanges of views among the interested governments.
 The American communication has not been made public here and those in charge of the negotiations are de- clning to reveal it's content pending definite agreement in the final list which will comprise the text and linn itations of the deliberations of the conference. It is the belief here that such an agreement will be possible despite the short time remaining be- fore the foreign delegations start for the United States.
 By the device of avoiding mention of specific controversial cases off cials are understood to feel that the possibility of an agreement on scope and limitations will be greatly en- hanced Thus in the case of. China. the American suggestion is under stood to be that the integrity of Chi na be included in the list of eligible suoJects leaving the trend of the dis cusslon to develop whether the con Terence will be led under that head ing into consideration of such cases as Shantung.
 With the policy of China's integrity It Is believed the American govern ment is ready to include in the list such other broad subjects as extra territorial rights in China, the Si 6erian situation and problems of the Pacific islands.
 Such plan is in keeping with the oft enunciated purpose of the Amer lcan government 10 keep the scope of the conference as broad as practical ble ana thus forestall the possibility that some one of the participants may tie it's hands in advance of the conference in regard to specific con troversial cases. It is argued also that the scheme of permitting the conference to develop it's own scope nas peculiar a6aptability to the Tar eastern situation where several important questions now are under negotiation and may be settled before the delegates assembly here Noyem- : Der II.
