Spectators
Kentucky Representative At
tempts to Attack Brother
OF Draft Stacker, on
Witness Stand. .
You're Liar Starts Row

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
| Washington, July ga violent
encounter between Representative
Ben Johnson of Kentucky and
Charles A. Braun, brother of Grover
c. Bergdoll, the draft Stacker,
broke up the Bergdoll investigation
in riotous disorder today.
Spectators, fearful of gun play,
were thrown into a panic and the
excitement which followed would
have furnished thrilling scenario
for an uncensored movie.
Hostilitics burst from a tranquil
sky while Representative Johnson
was questioning Braun, who oceu-
pied the witness stand. Johnson
didn't like the way Braun answered
questions.
"You aren't telling the truth" re-
marked Johnson.
Braun rose from his chair, leaned
across the table, looked Johnson in
the eye, and in even measured tones
said:
you're a liar"
Johnson leaped to his feet, reached
into his pocket as though about to
draw a weapon, and started around
the table after Braun. Women
spectators shrieked. For a moment
everyone in the committee room
seemed paralyzed.
Wife Stops johnson.
Mrs. Johnson, wife of the war
like congressman, was the first to
act. She threw herself upon her
husband, holding his right arm,
screaming:
"No, you must not do that"
A second later Representative
Peters of anime, chairman of the
committee, became participant in
the fracas. He tackled Mr.. john
son foot bali fashion, pinning John
son in vice-like grip. Two more
of his colleagues, Representative
Flood of Virginia and Representa-
tive Luhring of Indiana, rushed to
his assistance. Johnson, struggling
with the fury of madman, was ON
the verge of shaking off his cap
tors. when husky captain of ma
rines went to their aid.
Meanwhile Sergeant-at-Arms Joe
Rogers who happened to be in the
room, took charge of Braun. He
started to lead him out Of the ROOM
This added to Johnson's fury. He
cursed with the vehemence of pi-
rate.
Am I not going to have a chance
to settle with that 2" he
shouted. won't this committee let
me punish him; that hag-hating
The committe members and the
marine captain held him tight.
Thrown Through Door.
By this time, Braun. in the Gu,
tody of Rogers: ha dreached the
door. A shriveled little fellow, about
half Braun's size, dashed up and
shaking his fist at Braun, shrieked:
I'D like to get hold of that skunk,
your brother"
Rogers grabbed him like a fash
and threw him throught the door.
That ended this bit of play.
The big sergeant-at-arms led
Braun out of the capital and told
him to go home. Braun wept as he
walked away. He told how he had

Offer Fiscal Autonomy.

Otter Fiscal Autonomy.
London, July 23.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The outstanding
feature of the governments Irish
peace proposals to Eamonn De Val
era is a concession of fiscal auton-
omy, it was stated on high authority
here today.
The position of Ulster is amply Sc
cured.
A meeting of the Dali Eireann for
the purpose of considering the Brit
ish offer is looked for next week, but
Sim Fein leaders here appear to
feel that 10 days or more will elapse
before notable developments can oc-
cur. Meanwhile publication of the
proposals is not anticipated unless
Premier Lloyd George and Mr.. DE
Valera reach an agreement to that
effect.
Smuts Again to Front.
Two important points which seem
to have considerable bearing on the
negotiations, are first, whether an
other meeting between Sir James
Craig, premier of Ulster, and De Va
lera can be arranged in Ireland, and
second. whether an amendment to
the present home rule act would be
satisfactory to the Irish republicans,
should such a solution be advanced.
A comprehensive statement cover
ing the entire negotiations is ex-
pected to be. made by Mr.. Lloyd
George in the House of Commons
next week.
Gen. Jan C. Smuts, the South Afri-
can premier, is expected to leave
London for Ireland earl ly next week,
probably Monday, to place his serv-
ices at the disposal, of both Eamonn
De Valera, the republican leader.
and Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier, during their critical considera-
ton of the Irish peace proposals
made by Premier Lloyd George.
Ulster Unperturbed.
Belfast. Ireland, July 23.-(By The
Associated Press. )-Ulster at the
moment is not concerned with the
negotiations being carried on by the
British government with the Sim
Fein. it is declared in unionist quar-
tiers here. These negotiations, it is
generally assumed by the public,
deal with fiscal and financial ques-
tions. 1t is conceivable, political
circles say, that in certain eventuali- |
ties Ulster would become involved,
but that stage of the proceedings
has not yet been reached.
Fresh developments in the political
situation here were lacking today.
No anxiety was expressed in un- |
ionist quarters because they regarded |
the position of Ulster as secure,
holding that there is no question
either of the granting of republic
or the abandonment of the northern
Irish Parliament.

dence.

Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver troubles, ner- vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish Kidneys.
 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 at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces p of lad Salts from any pharmacy: take g. tablespoon in a glass of water be- fore breakfast and in a few days your Kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it 10 longer causes irritation thus ending bladder weakness.
