WASHINGTON. Jan, 2O.-Chair-

Washington lawyer, staged a fist
fight, ending in threats Of gun play
in the District Committee room OF the
Capitol to-day during which John
sons face was badly bruised and
Shields received heavy blow on the
jaw.
AS the men were separated John
son broke into the adjoining room
shouting Give me that pistol. Let

Committee members closed the
doors between the two rooms but the
Kentuclian opened it and made an
effort to follow Shields into the hall
way. Shields was hurried out of the
room by members of the committee.
The fight was the result Of John
sons characterization of Shields as
a lobbyist and Shields retort that the
charge was false.
Johnson struck the first blow and
a dozen blows were exchanged be-
fore the two men could be pulled
apart.
Shields appeared before euhcom-

support of bill to permit policemen

Dodson's Liver Tone is a mild

as a reliever of constipation, sour
stomach, billiousness and sluggish
liver. 1t works gently surely,
harmlessly. If a bottle should
ever fail to give satisfaction Smith

paid without question.
The price Of Dodson's Liver
Tone is so cts. per bottle. Be sure
you get Dodson's Liver Tone and

guarantee and that may contain
harmful drugs. adv.
