Chaplin Is Floored in
Fight With Manager
OF His Former Wife

LOS ANGELES, April S.-Charlie
Chaplin's face today bore marks of a
hotel lobby fight here last night with
Louis Mayer, film producer and man
ager of Chaplin's estranged wife.
Mildred Harris Chaplin.
"Ask Mayer and my wife, they can
tell you," was Chaplin's statement
regarding the fray.
According to witnesses Chaplin
met Mayer in the hotel lobby ana
demanded he remove his glasses:
Mayer complied and Chaplin missed
a swing to the jaw. After several
exchanges Chaplin fell to the floor.
The film comedians nose showed
several deep scratches today.
Mayer said the trouble arose over
the settlement to be made with Mrs
Chaplin.
Mayer made the following state
ment:
THE whole trouble arose because,
since the publication in the news
papers of Chaplin's troubles with his
wife, he has been trying to intimi-
date her into settling with him for a
small amount. He sent his man to
the studio and tried to get settle
ment for very small sum. He

SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
sists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tons. The mild and healing influ-
ence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
seon realized. 1t stands the highest
for it's remarkable record of sue
cess.
An examining physician for one
OF the prominent Life Insurance
'Sss4loanies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are reject
ed is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people,
and the large majority of those
whose applications are declined do
not even suspect that they have the
disease. DR.. kilmers Swamp-Root
is on sale at all drug stores in
bottles of two sizes, medium and

ADOPTION FRIDAY

! WASHINGTON, April S.-Adoption

| tomorrow by the house was indicated
today when the rule limiting debate
| on the measure to nine hours was
adopted with some Democrats joining
| the Republicans in supporting it.
| The vote was 213 to 155. Imme-

| resolution itself was opened. 1t will
| continue until 5 p. m. tomorrow,
i when vote on the resolution is ex-
pected.
Declaring that the war with Ger
many was over and that congress
! should assert the fact, Chairman
| Campbell, Of the rules committee,
opened the fight for adoption of the
JOINT resolution. The galleries were
| crowded at the beginning of the
! debate.
Mr.. Campbell said the people were
! wearled by year and a half of life
! under an executive with war powers
In time of peace and longed for the
! freedom of a government with three
! separate and independent branches.
! Passage of the resolution, he con-
| tinued, would put the United States
back on normal basis without sac
r1f1c1ng Or surrendering any of the
rights or privileges to which it was
in the war. He added that grave do
| nestle questions make the proposed
action imperative.
The war is over" he declared
That is known by everyone Con-
gress is therefore within it's rights
in declaring a state of war no. longer
exists. Labor, industry, business and
| commerce are all impatient to re-
sumo status under the laws and
| conditions that pertain to peace 1t
is the duty of congress to Withdraw
from the president the powers grant
ed to him for war purposes. We take
no powers from him that belong to
him in time of peace. He is left With
the utmost freedo INTO negotiate a

of the senate, as provided in the
