HARDING SEES, HOPE IN AGREEMENTS TO OBEY LABOR BOARD President Now Has Lever- age to Require Submission on Seniority. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, |Aug. 2 (Copy- right).—President Harding does not consider the reply of tho railway executives an insuperable barrier to a settlement of the strike. The im- portant fact to be borne in mind is that the railroads have agreed to the first point in the compromise; name- ly, that they will recognize and obey the decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board. Bound by that pledge they cannot therefore refuse to obey such decision as the board may make {in the future the mooted question of seniority rights. In other words, the President has the leverage now to require the rail roads to submit to the Labor Board the settlement of the seniority prob- lem. T. De Witt Cuyler, head of the railroad executives, would have ferred that procedure and so told Mr. Harding last week at the White on pre- (Continued on Fourteenth Page.) i SENATORS AGREE TO SPEED TARIFF Passage This Month Seems Assured by Decision of Leaders, WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Passage of the Administration Tariff Bill by the Senate this month seemed to be almost certain to-day as a result of agreements reached separately by Re- publican and Democratic leaders. Immediately after the Senate con- vened, Senutor Simmons, minority leader in the tariff fight, presented a proposal for a final vote Aug. 19. At the same time majority leaders made ft known privately that they had con- ferred last night and agreed to pro. pose two alternate dates to the Demo- crats, Aug. 15 and Sept. 1, with the eariier date mostly in favor. After considering the Simmons pro- posal, Republican leaders decided to make a counter proposal for a ‘inv! vote on Aug, 15, instead of Aug. 19. | and to shut off debate beginning Aug, U1, RED'S 24,000 LEAD cu 9000 BY LONG IN UNDECIDED RACE sees Wilson Man Gains Rapidly After Cities Are Counted for Senator. JOUIS, Mo., Aug. 2 (Associated P. Senator James A. Reed's lead over Breckinridge Long in the race for the Demoeratic nomination for United States Senator receded at noon to-day to 15,098 as additional county pre- cincts favorable to the former Assist- ant Secretary of State reported from yesterdsy's primary election. Returns “from 2,690 out of 8,848 precincts in the State gave Reed 159,730; Long, 144,682. The Reed-Long race has eclipsed everything else in interest. Reed, running behind in the early hours of the count, took the lead early to-day when St, Louis and Kansas City, his two strongholds, came in with their thousands of votes. His lead reached nearly 24,000 at its peak, but with the two big cities practically complete and additional country returns com- ing in, Long began overhauling him. Political writers estimate the con- test will be settled by 2,000 to 4,000 votes, either way. It 1s certain it will take complete returns to determine the winner. In the Republican Senatorial race, William Sacks, advocate of light wines and beer, led R. R. Brewster, “Old Guard" candidate, by 2,779 on returns from 2,007 out of 3,848 pre- cincts. Practically all of St. Louis, Sacks’s stronghold, had reported, while more than 1,700 country precincts where Brewster was strong were still out. Incomplete unofficial returns indi- cated fourteen of the present Con- gressmen, thirteen Republicans and one Democrat, have been renomi- nated. All four of the women candi- dates for Congress apparently have been defeated. 2 MORGAN LEADS STUBBS IN KANSAS PRIMARIES TOPEKA, P. —W. Kan., Aug. 2 (Associated Y.

CALLS EXTERMINATORS. Cafe Offers $1,000 Reward for Perpetrators of Whole- sale Poisoning. With six already dead, more than 100 ill, some of them seriously, as the result of eating arsenic-filled food at the Shelburn restaurant, No. 1127 Broadway, Monday noon, District At- torney Banton is pushing his investi- gation of the wholesale poisoning. A reward of $1,000 has been offered by owners of the Shelburn Restaurant for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for putting the poison in the food. On advice of Harry Oshring, attor- ney, of No. 1176" Brosfiway, tha P 9prietors to-day posted the follow- ing notiee on the windows of the res- taurant: “This establishment will be closed for a few days in order that we may take steps to insure the safety of our patrons. In the’ mean time, we are working in conjunction with the pub lic authorities in order to detect the perpetrators of this dastardly crime. “We will pay $1,000 reward for any information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of any such person.’* At first it was thought the arsenic was mixed only with the fatal pie crusts, which chemical investigation showed contained the poison in deadly quantities, but scores of telephone messages from relatives and frieads of persons stricken were received at the District Attorney's office to-day which tend to show that many other articles of food served during Mon- 's lunch rush hour also contaiaed poison. Relatives of the following persons, still seriously ill from the poison, called the District Attorney to-day and told what the stricken ones had eaten: Julia Sullivan, No. 2142 Am- isterdam Avenue, ham sandwich, rolls, coffee, milk; Francis White, same ad- dress, shrimp salad, rolls and butter; Billy Heiler, No. 80 Lafayette Ave- nue, Brooklyn, beef a la mode, rolls, coffee; Morris Nellinger, No, 120 Can- non Street, eggs, corned beef, coffee; Charles Name, No, 735 Fifth Street, ham and eggs, coffee; Louis Berschrif, 2 Bath Beach, bananas and cream, rolls, \coffee; Alex Werner, No. 462 102d Street, Richmond Hill, soup, roast beef, rolls; George A. Cohen, No. Remington Avenue, Arverne, pea soup, coffee, rolls; Nat Slater, poached eggs, coffee and rolls; 4 Benjamin Cooperstein, No. 363 East 5ist Street, Brooklyn, tongue sandwich, huckleberry pie, coffee. Detectives from the West a0th Street Statlon to-day brought to the District Attorney's office Louis Fried- No, 176 De- man, twenty-two, of lancey Street, who had worked as an assistant pastry cook in the restau- rant, and questioned him. He could throw no light on how the arsénic became mixed with the fatal lunch- eon. Mr. Banton learned that an ex- terminating company had been em- ployed to keep the restaurant clean and has sent for officials of this com- pany to learn the methods used, Four of the victms died In terrible (Continued on Second Page.)

Al Smith, who was discharged from hjs position as Deputy Commis- sioner of Markets and yesterday threw a hand grenade into the Hearst- Hylan trenches by declaring his re- moval was for his refusal to cam- paign among the Order of Elks up- State for Hearst, was still on the of- fensive this morning. Mr. Colgan virtually defled the Mayor to reply to the statement which was published in The Evening World of yesterday. “I will pay no further attention to what Commissioner O'Malley or Mr. Bent, head of the Contract Super- vision Bureau of the Board of Esti- mate, has to say,” said Mr. Colgan to-day. “I will not enter into a con- troversy with elther of them. The Mayor is the responsible head. He is the real boss of the job. Let him speak. Let him answer my state- ment and then I may have something to say.”” Speaking last night after the alle- gations he had made that he had been “‘canned’’ because he refused to work for Hearst's nomination had been published and the publication had not brought any reply from the Mayor, Mr. Colgan said: “The Mayor will not dare deny anything I have said. I am not in the habit of playing this sort of a game without an ace in the hole."* Mr. Colgan declined, however, to turn over tha card and show whether it was a ‘Black Diamond Ace." The color of it probably will have to walt for the Mayor to make a denial. Mr. Colgan to-day, however, made a denial of the allegations of Commis- sioner O'Malley and said the Washing- ton Market Men and the West Wash- ington liarket Men's Association would be ablé to tell in what condition affairs were pitor to his going into of- fice in 192) «4 compare them with conditions to-diy. The Mayor, up to the time of com- ing to his office, had not dented the story of Colgan. Francis P. Bent, former Alderman and great persons political and business friend and as- sociate of the Mayor, however, de- nied the statements of Colgan. He branded them as absolutely untrue. Colgan says he was sent for and asked to furnish a roster of the lodge of Elks to which he belongs and to make a trp up the State, expenses paid, and campaign in Elk lodges for Hearst.

It was pointed out in these circles that the Balfour note, disappointment to the French Gov- ernment, probably would have the effect of eliminating all consideration of a general European agreement re garding reparations und the Allied debts One reservation to this pessimistic view was that the Balfour commu nication might be a diplomatic move to place Prime Minister Lloyd George In the most favorable position pos stble for Monday's meeting in Lon- ton of the Allied representutives, and that it might be followed by other British proposals, S. which was a ON 75TH BIRTHDAY ALEXANDER GRAMAM BELL. @ by was) HARRIE Sy Beira.

First Used Dead Man’s Ear to Work Out Principle of His Device, SYDNEY, N. S., Aug. 2—Dr. Alex- ander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, died at 2 o'clock this morn- ing at Beinn Breagh, his estate near Baddeck. Dr. Bell's death was attributed to progressive anaemia, Ajthough the inventor had been In failing health for several months, ho had not been confined to his bed and the end was unexpected. Late yesterday afternoon, however, his condition became serious and Dr. Ker of Washington, a cousin of Mra. Bell, who was @ house guest, and a Sydney physician attended him. With Mr. Bell when he died were Mrs, Bell; a daughter, Mrs, Marian Hubbard Fairchild, and her husband, David, Q. Fairchild of Washington. ‘The inventor leaves another daughter, Mrs, Elise M. Grosvenor, wife of a ‘Washington magazine editor, Dr, Bell will be buried on top of Mt. Beinn .Breagh, a spot chosen by himself. Alexander Graham Bell lived to see experiments, which he began with a dead man's ear less than fifty years ago, result ina means of communtca- tion for millions of long distance tele- phone conversations daily in all parts of the world.
