Congress was swep by a wave of impassioned indignation today over the killing of American citizens by Mexican bandits near Chihuahua. Demands for action came from minority members and, while the administration leaders counseled patir ence, even Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, added that if, after a fair trial, Carranza failed to protect foreigners in The atmosphere was surcharged when the Senate and the House met, and the storm broke, quickly. Senator Sherman, Republican, of Illinois, introduced a resolution to express the sense of Congress that there should be intervention by the United States and Pan-American nations unless General Carranza could comply, at once to. a demand that he protect the lives and property of foreigners. In the House, Representative Dyer, of Missouri, offered, a resolution, asking President Wilson if he did not think the time had arrived to: abandon watchful waiting and' invade Mexico.

IS OF STATE SHOW UP HI Many of Them Tendered as a Gift to State of Missouri. Senator Simmons Gives Their History to Governor Major and Will Ask Governor Craig to Communicate With Him. (Special Star Telegrani) ashington, Jan. is.

Some unkind gentleman, or set of gentlemen, are again conspiring to cause trouble and embarrassment to the State of the old repudiated North Carolina' bonds signed by Gov. Holden and Jenkins. This time the bonds' have shown up jat the' office of Governor Elliott Major, at Jefferson City, Mo. Governor Major, who is In "Washington today, told Senator Simmons that several hundred of the bonds had-been offered his state and asked the senior senator for an. expert opinion as to their, value, Senator save the Missouri governor a history, of "the bonds and advised not to have anything, to do with them.

Governor Major that he would request Governor Craig', to furnish him a full and complete history of the repudiated bonds, te''ii circumstances -under which they were issued and why they, were repudiated by the State authorities. The bonds, it is understood, were tendered as a gift to the State of Missouri. They are of $1,000. denomination'" each. Several of them the batch now offered the state.

SEV EE REPUDIATED BOND 4f 1 Measure Passes Second Read- -7. out Division. OPPOSITION CRUMBLES Motion to Reject Measure Defeated by Vote of 431 to 39- Laborltes Join Nationalists in Withdrawing -Opposition.

London, Jan. 13- Amid scenes of up roarious enthusiasm the house of commons at 11 o'clock tonight, defeated a motion to reject the military service bill by a vote of 431 to 39. Immediately afterward the 1 house; acceded to the premier's request by passing the second reading of the bill without division. The vote was chiefly interesting oh account of the changed attitude of many of the 105 members who opposed it on the first reading. The debate was closed' by Arthur Henderson, president of the board of education, in a much applauded speech.

He closed with the. statement: "I have the authority of Earl Kitchener and the general staff that" we require at once not only the unmarried men -enrolled under the Derby system, no(t only the married men who are waiting to be called," but also the whole available part of lhe 650,000 men with whom this measure deals." The opposition in the house of commons to the conscription bill crumbled tonight tp a few conscientious objectors. A fortnight ago the anti-compul-sionists claimed 7200 votes, but on the first reading they were able to muster only 105, of whom more than one-half were Irish' When it came to tber second "reading of the bill tonight the Irish" Nationalists had withdrawn from the opposition. f--r The result appears-to have been due partlytQ evidences that country favors and partly to Mr. often displayed facility at conciliation.

The -riremier-i held. a crtn- er'eWtftiSfeffti eecomJLtte of the" house of cotjmi this' after-j nbon which he indused the three Labor' mernbers of the to withdraw their resignations temporarily and apparently made a strong impression on the members of the executive committee. The labor men asked for assurances that the bill should not be "used as a step towards general conscription or industrial conscription. Mr. Asquith gave the promise -that the bill would be.

modified to sofeguard it from any suspicion that it would be used for such purposes. After an appeal for labor's support he withdrew to permit the representatives to discuss their policy. The Nationalist members, after vot ing against the bill on the first reading, now take the attitude that it does not concern them, although they are opposed to compulsion on principle since It applies only to the- larger island.

R0HBI1 No Indication That United States Will Take Further Action at Present Time. WILSON STANDING FIRM Apparently Unchanged in Policy Consular Investigation Has Been Ordered. Americans Failed to Heed the Warning of Government.

Washington, 12. There was no indication tonight that the United States would tak any further action.in the case of the Americans executed by Villa- bandits in Mexico beyond its demand for apprehension and punishment of the outlaws or at the most to hold General Carranza responsible for the murders if it is shown that his officials were negligent in 'providing protection for the party. Wilson Unchanged by Attacks. Although the latest outrage stirred the simmering Mexican situation against the boiling point and 'dref an outburst of attacks upon the administration in Congress probably unequalled since the Huertat crisis two years ago, there was no outward sign that President Wilson was being' influenced to alter his policy. A proposal- Sherman Republican, for joint inter-t vwiiion py tne raa-Ainorican nauans which led in the recognition, 'of eral Carranza, was referred Without action to the Senate Foreign Relations committee.

While Secretary Lansing, in a. sta.te-ment, announced that "every step will be taken to see that the perpetrators of this dastardly crime apprehended and punished," he added that it was to be deplored that Americans had not heeded the State Department's warning against exposing their lives in the guerilla warfare territory In defining the right of Americans in territory under the sovereignty of another nation he declared that a non-combatant runs the danger losing his liberty or his life if he ventures into territory where the authority is uncertain. Leaders Defend Administration. Although the attacks in Congress upon President Wilson policy were almost unmeasured in terms, the ad-minstration was not without defenders among the Democratic leaders who challenged their 'critics to point out a better course and recalled that during the Taf administration resolutions proposing intervention were- vigorous ly opposed by the Republicans. The most significant development of the day's debate came In the Senate when Chairman Stone, of the.

Foreign Relations committee, himself a Democrat, declared that if General Carranza proved himself unfit to restore Order "there is only one thjng to do and that is to go down there armed and intervene." For the present he counseled leaving the situation in the hands of President Wilson. NOTE TO CARRANZA. Calls for Immediate Pursuit, Capture and Punishment of Murderers. Washington, Jan 12. Secretary Lansing, with the approval of President Wilson, today dispatched to Consul Sil-liman, at Queretaro, for presentation to General Carranza, a note denouncing the slaying of Americans near 'Chihuahua by Mexican bandits and upon the head of the de facto government for the immediate pursuit, capture and punishment, of the perpetrators of the deed.

The note urged the sending of troops to other districts where Americans are' ih danger oflos-ing their lives or property. 7 At the same time the State Department ordered an investigation of the murders with a view of determining whether they resulted from the failure of the de facto government to give proper protection in a zone known to be dangerous or whether the men lost, their lives as- the result of a bandit outbreak which could not have been foreseen. 7 Instructions toseek Information on this point were telegraphed to consular representatives in Mexico "and along the border. In the note to General Carranza, the killing, of the Americans was described as a dastardly crime committed in territory announced to be in control of the Carranza forces. The men wero killed, General Carranza was informed, because they were Americans after hi.

mey had gone into the who the consent- of the Carranza military authorities. Arrangements for bringing the bod ips of the slain men to the United States were made early In the day. Af-ter several messages had Teen exchanged, Secretary Lansing was advised from El Paso that General Gavira end Consul Garcia, of the de facto government, had arranged for a special funeral train. 7- Dispatches from El Paso also said that Carranza troops already were In pursuit of the bandits.

Jail Poors Battered Down. -1 Negro Hanged and Riddled With Bullets. BY 200 MASKED MEN Alleged Accomplices in Gurley Murder Taken From Cell, But Replaced. GOVERNOR WILL ACT. Asheyille, N.

Jan. 12. Governor 7, Locke Craig tonight received a report of the lynching at Goldsbofo. The Governor declared himseif shocked at-the occurrence and said would use every effort to. punish the perpetrators.

(Special Star Correspondence.) Goldsboro, N. Jan. 12. A mob os- -timated at between two and three Tiun-dred men, this morning between 1 and 2 -o'clock battered down the Jafl and, breaking the lock on the. cell door of John Richards, confessed murderer of Mr.

Anderson T. Gurley, who. was waylaid, robbed and murdered near Goldsboro last afternoon, removed Richards from his cell and carried -him to an automobile waiting on, the outside of the jail ground and then sneedilv rushed fh JyjeK the murder; ana, a- ope; around his body, striintr WTlm upW- sL tree limb, atter wivich his body -was, ridmed. with bullets. People living in the neighborhood of the jail for many blocks away were awakened by the wild screams of the other1 prisoners confined in the who (feared also, that too, were going to be killed.

In their hurry the mob at first secured the wrong negro whose pitiful screams and pleadings to the. angry mob to carry him to a light, where they would their mistake, perhaps -saved them from making a blunder. Streets Crowded Last Nig-ht. At 10 o'clock tonight the streets are crowded with excited people, discussing the lynching, but perfect order prevails. No credence is given to a ru mor spreading over the city that Isham Smith Ben Coley would also be lynched.

It seems to have been caused by the gathering into their armory hall of the two military companies, who are having an oyster roast and inspection. It Is alleged that Richards, beforo being killed, after, a short time given him to pray, made a full confession to the'l lynchers, in. which he implicated two other- negroes in the crime and stated that they were just as guilty as himself. At this hour.it could not be learned whether or not the accused negroes aro Isham Smith and Ben Coley, two negroes Richards implicated in his first confession. last Saturday, and who are confined in the county jail also, but were not molested by the lynchers this morning who seemed bent upon getting only Richards, who had confessed to having a hand in the murder.

Lett One Auto. The jail was "completely surrounded by automobiles, which had been stripped of their license numbers, and during the excitement, one of these was left in the jail yard, which is about all the clue the officers now have upon which to apprehend the guilty parties, as it is said every man in the mob either wore a mask or had a handkerchief tied over his face. The; mob, according to reports, went about theirundertaking very quietly and but' for the wild screams and pleading! of prisoners In the jail who seemed to be laboring under, the impression, that" they, too, were, going to suffer, the fate of -Richards, ho ono' perhaps besides the lynchers themselves would have noticed that" anything unusual was going on at the jail. As it was, the 7 news, spread like wild-fire and soon a large crowd had gathered about the jail, but soon dispersed and returned to their -homes, when an-officer otified them what had taken place, 'with, the exception of a few who still lingered, expecting that the mob' Would return 'and get more prisoners, should Richards make a con fession Implicating' any or the other prisoners confined in the jail. The fact that Isham Smith and Ben Coley, implicated 1A the crime in the first confession of Richards, were jnot lynched also Is no doubt due to the stirring-.

Robinson, pleading with the public to go slow and not take the life of any one charged with 7the crime until It was an assured fact that they were really guilty.
