KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview Of the subject, made the 40.
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are Re.
jected is because kidney trouble is 80 com.
mon to the American people, and the larps
majority Of those whose applications arc
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root q
toon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
"a herbal compound and we would I'd.
wise our readers who feel in need Of such d
remedy to give it q trial. It is on sale

ASKS COURT TO
stop DAUGHTER
SPENDING MONEY
Mother Complainant Before
Judge Kellogg to Recover
Estate Signed Over.

Judge Kellogg held a special ses-
sion in the superior court this morn
ing to dispose OF several matters that
were on the short calendar list and
had been adjourned to this date.
Prominent among them was the petit
tton for an injunction to prevent a
daughter from disposing of $40, 900
given to her by her mother which was
to have been returned on demand.
When the demand was made the cash
was not forthcoming.
This was the case of Mrs. Frances
Villas Carpenter against Mr.. and Mrs.
Bertram Shapleigh. Mrs. Carpenter
attached jewelry and Liberty bonds
about to be converted to the sum of
$4,000 belonging to the husband, CO.
defendant in the case with his wife.
Sannop & Wilder, attorneys for Mrs
Carpenter, were before Judge Kel-
logg, asking for temporary injunc-
ton restraining the defendants from
using any part of this money.
Attorney David Day, who repre-
sented the defendants, argued that
the plaintiff had already started a
suit in equity in the courts of New
York and cited number of decisions
to show that the court in which an
action is first brought, is the court
which has jurisdiction and that no
matter what proceedings were taken
here it could step in and render them
void at any time. He also said that
the supreme court had decided that
irreparable injury must be shown in
order to get an injunction in a case
of this kind.
Judge Wilder argued that all three
of the parties in interest were resi-
dents of Connecticut and that the
plaintiff, who resided in Darien,
should be allowed to take such legal
measures as were necessary to pro-
tect her interest as the statutes of
this statep rovided. He also stated
that Mrs. Shapleigh had threatened
to do away with the money and in
fact her own husband had testified
to that effect. Judge Kellogg took
the papers.

Yama Severely Cut

While walking in the vicinity of 447
Water street, shortly before noon to-
day, John Yama, 80, of 257 Gregory
street, was struck by large piece
of glass which fell from the window
frame on the second story. The
heavy glass slashed his right arm as
though it was cut by a sword. He
was Immediately picked up and rush
ed to the Emergency hospital where
it was found necessary to apply a

When Yama was brought to the
Emergency hospital in a faiting con-
dition due to the loss of blood. the

A resolution authorizing the presi-
dent to take over the lines probably
will be reported favorably by the
committee this afternoon.
The presidents views were COM

the legislation but making no refer
ence to the strike of Western Union
operators called for July by the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union of
America after the Western Union
had refused to abide by rulings of
the war labor board on the discarge
of union operators.
Letters of approval also were sent
by Secretary Baker and Postmaster
General Burleson, whose ONIONS had
been sought by the committee.
Members of congress said today
that the attorney general had advised
the president that he is without au-
thority under existing law to take
over the lines, and that if necessity
for action arose with congress in re-
cess he would he without power to
act.

Mr.. Judson is a native of Bridge
port, the son of R. NJ Judson and the
family resided at Old Mill Green. One
of his comments on this city was go
the effect he understood the old
court house had been remodelled into
an "antiquated city hall"
Owing to other engagements it
was impossible for ex-President VIM.
H. Taft to come here to attend these
hearings, which will probably last
two days, so Mr.. Judson. is taking his
place and acting in company with
Frank P. Walsh, chairman, for labor;
L. A. Osborne Of the Employers
group, and W. H. Johnson, of the
Labor group,
The wage controversy which was
the impelling cause that sent many
men out of work for three days last
week, rests now not between the
employers and the men, but between
the men and the government of the
United States.
This is due to the fact that Secre-
tary of War Newton D. Baker, issued
an order to the manufacturers direct
ing them not to pay the men the
increase they were due to get dating
from May 1 until the whole matter
Of the wage scale had been gone over
again very carefully.
Previous awards that the govern
ment has seen fit to give to the men
are as follows:
Toolmakers, IS cents; first class
machinists 6S cents; second class ma
chinists, planer hands and tool spe-
eialists 64 cents; lathe hands So
cents.
This board, known as the Walsh
board, is to act in the capacity of a
final tribunal and its decision will be
the last word. 1t was appointed to
care for just such disputes as has
arisen in this instance and it is hoped
that its decision will go far to curb
any tendency toward further labor
disturbances.
Attorney Hugh Lavery is counsel
for the Machinists and started to pre-
sent their side of the matter at the
hearing which opened at 1:30 this af-
ternoon.
