|NPARLEY AGENDA
Secretary Hughes Proposes
Rewording in Pan-American
Conference Program.

! Suggested changes in the agenda Of
the proposed program for the fifth
: Pan-American conference, to be held
/ in Santiago. Chile, in March, were
made yesterday by Secretary of State
hughes to the program committee OF
/! the Pan n-American Union. as means
Of bringing the members OF the COM
mittee into agreement on the two pro-
posals of incorporating in the agenda
, the Uruguayan proposal for Pan
/ American league of nations and the
Chilean plan for the reduction of ar
maments by all American countries.
Secretary Hughes compromise sug-
Scstions were In the form of changes
i in the wording of the program which
was not agreed upon when 1t was
presented to the governing board of
the union Wednesday and an impasse
was brought about.
Discusses Armament Reduction.
The Secretary Of state suggested
/ that the proposed armament >reduc-
tion should be carried out in Just
and convenient manner. rather than
lin equal proportion. which latter
wording. originally advanced by
i Chile. was found unacceptable by
! Brazil. Mr.. Hughes also suggested
/, that "enuHciation of the convenience
of procuring by effective means
closer associa ton of the American
republics to promote common inter-
eSts" should he substituted for the
jUruSraHan proposal that "there should
be formed an American league If ma
lions based on Il complete equality OF
all countries so associated. In
place of the proposal for obligatory
arbitration among American republics
the Secretary recommended decla-
! ration favoring juridical settlement
! of all questions arising among them.
He also proposed a new wording for
the agenda rela ting to the cncroach-
, ment of outside nations on Amer
; lean countries. so that an agreement
might be reached on this subject.

gcstions. Secretary Hughes has found
a way TO bring about agreement by

AthOl Man Found Dead.

The funeral Of James Bradley,
who was found dead in the cellar
Of his home at Athol, was held
in Coeur d'Alene, last Friday
afternoon, Rev. McCabe officiat-
ing. Interment was made in For
est cemetery.
The following account of the
death Of Bradley was given by
the Press:
James Bradley, 60 years old, a
bachelor, was found dead at his
home in Athol at 6 80 last night
Nov. s, by Constable Frank Will
liams Of Athol who investigated
the report of Ross Veatch that
the door Of his house had been
open all day. Bradley was found
at the foot of a steep flight Of
steps leading from his kitchen to
the basement, with his skull frac-
tured. His head was bent under
his body until it touched his chest
and he was lying on the back of
his neck and head.
Bradley was last seen in a
store in Athol early Tuesday
evening. Apparently he had gone
home to prepare his supper, as
pork chops and other edibles
laid out on his kitchen table, and
had started to the basement for
further supplies.
He is believed to have reached
for an accustomed hold on the
wall while making the descent,
missed it and plunged headfirst to
the basement floor, eight feet be
low, where his head came into
contact with a doorsill. From the
position of the body it is believed
that he never moved after he
struck the floor.
A report was made to Sheriff
Quarles soon after the body was
discovered and Deputy julius
johnson and Coroner R. B. Moon
ey Immediately left for the scene
to conduct an investigation.
1t was decided not to hold an
inquest, according to Coroner
Moeney, as it was a PLAIN case
of accident.
A search of Bradley's CORES
pondence and search OF the
house failed to reveal any trace
of relatives, and inquiries amone
his acquaintance disclosed thai
he had never mentioned any.
