all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
Nile, nervousness, dizziness, sleepless-

The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full OF sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation Of scald-

Four ounces of Jad Sally from any
pharmacy; take tablespoonful ina
glass of water before breakfast. and
in few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,

as Motorists Gather

A dead man dangled for nearly an
hour yesterday at the top of tele-
phone pole beside the Kew Garden Ho-
tel, Kew Gardens, Queens, while motor
lists on Queens Boulevard stopped their
cars to see how his body was to be re-
leased from the maze OF deadly wires.
The man was John Worth, lineman
employed by the telephone company,
who lived at 1888 Oxford Avenue
Ozone Park, Queens. Worth and a help
er had been sent to make some repairs,
The helper remained on the ground,
while Worth assembled the Ofoot mole
equipped with climbing irons and a
life-belt, but without rubber cloves
1t is believed that he inadvertently
carried a,4o0 volts. Boys returning
from ball game were the first to notice
ms plight as ne hung head downward
among the wires, supported only by his
belt and irons. They told Worth's help
er, who notified the police.
BY the time Hook and Ladder Com

lance from Mary Immaculate Hospital
reached the spot. the throng of auto

Railway Union Heads
Order Wage Referendum
Men Urged Not to Strike, but
Labor Boards Award Is
Called Too Small

CHICAGO. July 24.-The order for 2
nationwide referendum by railway en-
ployees on the wage award Of the Fed
eral Labor Board was completed to-day,
with a strong plea against a strike, at
a meeting of the executives of the rail-
road brotherhood before they de-
parted.
"The Labor Board" the order states.
"is the highest court of appeal in this
controversy. No higher tribunal is
created by the transportation act, and
it's decision must either be accepted or
rejected without further negotiation"
1t adds that, although the award is
much less than the men are entitled to-,
more than "a per cent Of them have
agreed to accept 1t.
An appeal is made to the federated
shop crafts, (which constitute not more
than % per cent of the total employees
of the railroads." to vote in support of
the action of the majority.
The Chicago Yardmen's Association,
including seventy delegates from the
"outlaw" organizations of the country,
voted unanimously to reject the award
because it Contained no provision for
the seniority rights" of the men who
struck last April.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BEDFORD, N. Y. July 24.-Flatirons,
carving knives, rocks, fists and heavy
sticks were used to-day in clash be-
tween the white and black inmates of
the State Reformatory for Women. The
riot began at 10 a. m. and continued
with undiminished fury until 5 y. m.
1t required the efforts ofsfive police
men and ten state troopers to restore
order.
1t was said last night that the list of
injured includes twelve girls, both
white and black; three policemen and a
matron.
Anna Group, q white inmate, escaped
from the reformatory while the riot
was in progress. Two white prisoners
Anna Negelsky and Irene Miller, es-
capped last night. Anna Group is re-
ported to have been caught tonight at
Mount Kisco.
New Superintendent Resigns
This afternoon Miss Florence Jones,
recently appointed superintendent of
the institution, announced that she had
sent her resignation to the board of
managers three days ago. She said
that to-day's outbreak had nothing to
do with her resignation and that for
weeks she had not felt equal to the
duties required of the superintendent
unless she were given free hand and
allowed to use discipline.
The riot began in the reformatory
laundry. 1t is said that Mary Peters
a white girl, became engaged in an
argument with a negro girl. They
soon were striking each other and pull
ing each others hair. Several white
girls rushed to Mary's assistance
negro girls took hand and free-for-
all fight developed. The negresses
armed themselves with carving knives
while the white girls threw flatirons
Several were knocked down and in
jured.
After the battle in the laundry had
been under way for fifteen minutes al
participants withdrew to the lawn out
side the laundry building, where both
sides were reinforced, until at least 1OC
persons were fighting. The negro girls
were greatly outnumbered by the
whites.
Calls Bedford Police
After making futile efforts to quell
the riot Miss Jones put in a call for
the BEDFORD police. Police Chief
George Mills and four patrolmen re-
sponded.
The policemen sailed in and the bat

1T was dangerous to the crews and that
there might be loss of life. Under

Sir Thomas in High Spirits
AT the outset, when the Victoria
started down the Ambrose Channel for
the starting line, Sir Thomas was in
higher spirits than on any previous day

blowing heightened his hopes of win

that it was a regular shamrock day.
He indicated in his conversation that
his one great chance of winning the
Americas Cup lay in the brisk weather
then prevailing.

Admits Killing Mother;
Father Died for Crime
Ontario Farmer Confesses to
Evangelist Seven Years After
Execution of Parent

TORONTO, July 24.-The self-con-
fessed murderer of his mother--a crime
for which his father was hanged seven
years ago-Arnell Love, twenty-five, a
Ceylon (Onto farmer, is in jail here.
During evangelistic services in his
home town Love went forward and de-
clared he had dubbed his mother to
death because she had reprimanded him
for keeping bad company"
Young Love was one of the principal
witnesses against his father, Henry
Love, who was convicted by jury at
Owen Sound, Ont. While the evidence
had been mostly circumstantial, the
father on the scaffold made what was
believed to be confession.
The son grew up prosperous farmer
end the tragedy apparently was buried
in oblivion until he told the evangelist
the Rev. c. N. Sharpe, that he killed
his mother with stick of wood and
hid the body in the cellar, where it
was found later.
Love then gave himself UP to the
police, who are investigating his story.

LONDON, July 24.-Interest in the
Irish situation to-day centers not upon
the continued occasional rioting in
Belfast, but upon an anticipated pro-
nouncement by the government of a
new policy toward Ireland.
Two long and important Cabinet
meetings, attended by Lord French, Sir
Neville MacCready and Sir, Hamar
Greenwood, to-day may have resulted
in determination of the government
on a definite new policy, but no of
fetal pronouncement was Forthcoming.
There are rumors of serious differ
ences Of opinion within the Cabinet on
the subject. Several members of the
Cabinet are said to favor a fight to a
finish, while it is believed that Pre-
mier =. Lloyd George stands for con-
citation.
Although some sections of the press
said to be close to the Premier repre-
sent him as open to proposals for some
sort of home rule with protection for
Ulster" an official statement issued
to-day following conference between
him and the parliamentary committee
of the Trades Union Congress shows
that the Premier took the attitude that
British labor is assuming too much au-
thorlty when it attempts to negotiate
for dominion home rule for Ireland.
Question Up to Irish
"There is only one body of opinion
that can make an arrangement" the
Prime Minister declared, "and that is
the organized opinion of the Irish peo-
pie. Where are the Sim Feiners ?"

length, but the Premier refused to con-
