CONGRESS- weary
Patience Near Exhaustion on
Mexico Policy.
May Take Hand Demanding
Wilson Do Something.

Washington, May 15.-While con-
eress has been silent in the Mexican
situation during the difficult negotia-
tons between General Scott and Cen
eral Obregon, it is freely predicted
today that congress may this week
voice a demand for more definite and
positive action than President Wilson
is displaying. A senator in close touch
with the situation, admitted in dis
cussing the whole problem that the
sentiment of congress was overwhelm-
ing that it was time for the United
States to be firm and act firm and
meet the problem squarely of restor-
ing order in Mexico-not merely po-
Icing our own border.
Sentiment Strong
This particular senator even admit
ted congress was losing patience with
the attitude displayed by the president
and predicted that if a resolution went
before the senate, with any consider
able backing behind it, authorizing the
president to use the army and navy in
restoring peace and order to Mexico,
it could not be stopped. The sentiment
is so strong, it was admitted, it would
so through despite the opposition of
the president or administration
The administra ton is still undecided
as to what course to pursue in Mexico
and clinging to the hope that some
thing may come out of the negotia-
tons with Carranza

Murder Narrowly Ayerted in
Topeka Last Night.
Poor Shells All That Saved the
Lives of Three.
NAN WAS STABBED 8 TIMES
This Angered Dave Chester and
He Went After Gun.
When Cartridge Didn't Explode
No Triple Crime.

Good foot work and two bum shells
are all that stood between Dave Ches-
Ter and three murders last night, ac-
cording to Joe Holman, deputy sheriff.
Chester did his part but Levi Gibbs
and Bess Toots were too fast for him
and when he attempted to unload both
barrels of his shotgun into an inter
fering relative, both shells failed to
explode.
Chester and Levi Gibbs got into
trouble at Gibbs house over Bess
Toots. Both men were drinking. ac-
cording TO officers, and temporarily
Gibbs had an advantage through the
possession of a pocket knife Chesler's
anatomy indicates that Gibbs plunged
the knife blade into him about three
times, once puncturing a lung and
twice making holes in his back.
The stabbing ruffled Cheslers tenn
per and he left tie house. He went to
his own abode, loaded up his double
barrl shotgun, placed two extra shells
in his pocket and returned to the Gibbs
house.
Come on out here and I'll lick you
on less ground than you can stand on"
he shouted at the window through
which light showed.
Gibbs didn't venture out but Chester
could see some one moving about in
side. He walked up to a window. He
knew there was a table in front of the
window at which Gibbs. and Toots
might be sitting. He knew there was
a bed directly in line with. the window
at the other side of the room. He
aimed low and pulled both barrels.
The charge tor out the first window,
clipped the top half off the lamp
chimney, put out the light. riddled the
clothes on the bed and went out
through another window.
Both Fail to Explode.
A relative rushed up to stop the
trouble but before he could reach the
scene Chester had put two more shells
in his shotgun. He aimed at the pro-
testing relative and pulled both trig-
gers. Both shells failed to explode.
They show the marks of the hammer
and Holman says he never before knew
both shells to fail to discharge.
Officer Gaines of the Union Pacific
had heard the shooting and hurried to
the scene. Chester also pulled the
shotgun on him but Gaines calmly
knocked him down and took the gun
away from him. He called Joe Hol-
man and Holman took Chester to the
county Jail where his knife wounds
were treated.
= search was made for Gibbs and
the woman. No trace of them was
found. The house was deserted. All
their haunts have beer searched but
they are not in any of them.
THAT fellow Gibbs must have left
that house in nothing flat when the
shotgun went off, commented Hol-
man.
The gun and shells are at the sher-
| ifs office. All of the parties con-
! ed a year ago in connection with an
alleged incendiary fire at Rossville.
i Gibbs is a police character The Gibbs
/ house is at 1908 West Laurent street.
