 by Dimes that Joseph Kelly, alias H. A. Greer, MabePs chauffeur, did the shooting with Miss Normand's reyoI- yer. The chauffeur when arrested sai that the party had been drinking heav fly and that Miss Normand was in an intoxicated condition and the chauf- teur sought to take her home. He al- legged that Dimes interfered and tried to smash him over the head with whiskey bottle, when he pulled the rer volver and fired to save himself from injury. It is said that Dimes will re- cover
 This is the second shooting affray Mabel NOrmand has been involved in, she being the mystery woman in the William Desmond Taylor murder case at Los Angeles year or so ago. It will be remembered that Desmond was shot and killed at his bungalow in a lonely spot in the hills near this city at which time he was in com pany with Mabel Normand. The iden- tity of the assassin was never reveal ed. It was stated some time after ward that Desmond Taylor was en- gagged to the movie actress and that the engagement had been broken off.
 Hollywood movie circles are much agitated over the recent affair, realiz ing the unpleasant notoriety accruing from an affair of this kind.
 The infatuation of Kelly for Miss Normand, his employer and his jeal- busy of her wealthy Denver acQuain- -ance are said by the police to be the motives that prompted him to shoot Dimes. It is alleged that Dimes is an tdmirer of Miss Purviance. He has 'een twice divorced though only 33.

Discomfort Now Sweeping Over Z. S.;
Congress Is Target for Resentment

some one to tell them the A B G of 1T all
over again. The campaign orators this fall
going to find the most fallow fields that ever
were set before them, and going to face
more voters ready to be swayed way
another, regardless of previous party convic-
tions, than at any time in history
In a general way, the people inclined
to blame Congress for the confused state of
their minds, for the confused condition of
legislation for the confused condition of gov
ernment affairs. and for a confused condition
of public opinion. The beclouded situation
growing out of this maze of confusion, is be-
ginning to, have its effect in business lines
and this is arousing added resentment, for
the effect cannot be analyized accounted for
in any other way
Cannot Understand Leaders.
The people of the hinterland cannot under
stand why it is that they read day after day
of the Republican United States Senate be-
ing arrayed against the Republican President
1t is especially confusing to them to see the
republican senators voting against President
Coolidge and then going out to make public
speeches, lauding him as the savior of the
people in the coming election The "opposi-
ton of the Democrats, while it may be de-
plored in some instances for the delay it may
have caused, is quite generally understood.
The antics and the tactics of the Republicans
especially the so-called leaders in the Sen
ate, the things which not understood
explain.
1t is perhaps a harsh word to say, but one
quickly gets the impression even in the slight
est contact with the people at large, of
growing contempt for Congress. 1t is a
contempt which does not augur well for the
sacredness of American institutions, for
the sanctity of the coordinate branches of our
constitutional government.
Evening star., 1924-05-25

President Coolidges chances in the coming
election depend entirely upon how far he can
dsassociate himself from responsibility for
latter-day conditions in Congress-how we'll
he can explain the inability of the Executive
this time exert the proper sort of leader
ship, or dictatorship, if you will, over the
Legislative branch.
Trickery UnsettIes People.
Senators and representatives who have made
recent brief visits to their constituents have
had foretaste of what is in store for them
at home. Juggling with the bonus, Juggling
with the taxes, Juggling with farm relief, jug
Cling with government expenditures and pro-
posed juggling with the tariff-legislative
trickery, in short-have had unsettling
effect upon the people and upon business.
Many voters who in 1918 and 1920 loudly
cheered the idea that Congress should be freed
from the executive WILL freed from the domi-
nation of the President, outspokenly wish
in its place, making it do quickly the things
it ought to do and keeping it from doing the
things it ought not to do
People Ready to Strike.
Republican leaders in the various states
waiting anxiously for word from Washington
to how the acts of the Republican leaders
in Congress and the views of the President in
the White House to be reconciled in the
Republican national platform These leaders
know that the people anxious strike
out in some direction. They believe that direc-
tion will be toward Congress, but how far
Congress be condemned and Republican
President be made certain of election? That is
the worry today. and it is a very real one.
The Democrats meantime are smiling prodi-
giously. They love the predicament of their
Republican brothers.
But when you ask them what they are going
to do at New York they shrug their shoulders
and say they do not know.

~ ETURN1NG from ten-day trip into
- the great American hinterland, the
N writer has brought back with him
deeply engraved impression of the
discomfort of the people. They are dis
contented in confused sort of way. 1t is
wrong to suppose that they not interested
in politics and not talking it. The smokerooms
of the trains hum with it. The lobbys of the
hotels are beehives of political discussion. The
women meeting at luncheons and teas and
threshing it all out
The most casual survey of the country finds
the people, not only discontented with the way
things have been going at Washington, but
resentful we'll They do not know yet
just how they going to express this
sentiment, but the desire to express it
how and somewhere is condition and not
theory that the two big political parties have
got to deal with.
1t does not take seer to that if
personality of the Roosevelt type were to take
the field this year thiry party ticket and
platform containing only the words "a
plague on both your OLD houses" he would find
a following which might easily sweep the
foundations from under both of the
grand political divisions of American life.
La Toilette Cannot Succeed.
This personality however, does not exist
Senator La Toilette cannot get away with it.
He has caught the imagination of only lin
tied number of persons in a narrow belt. There
apparently is else to lead the cause.
Consequently the resentment must find its
expression at the polls within one or the other
of the two old parties
The developments in Washington have been
SO long drawn out that even the more intel
ligent types of men and women have either
lost track of them have failed utterly to
grasp their significance. They are looking for
