IT CAME UP OVER LITTLE BOY

Hawesville, Ky, June Crank
Adkins is dead and his brother, Will
Adkins, is dying as the result of
wounds which they received from a
gun in the hands of their father at
the Adkins home place, about five
miles from here, this afternoon. A.
H. Adkins, the father, is being
guarded at his home by the Sheriff
and will probably be brought here
to Jail tomorrow.
The trouble is said to have start
ed this afternoon when the brothers
went to their fathers place to in
quire into reports they had heard
that Wills son by his first wife, now
living with his grandfather, had
been mistreated According to the
story told by Mrs. A. H. Adkins,
and the child in question, the men
had finished their talk and the two
sons were leaving when the elder
Adkins told them not to come back
again when under the influence of
liquor.
Will and Frank then returned to
the house and the father seized
pistol. He is said to have gone
through the house, followed by his
sons, and after climbing the yard
fence. sought refuge in an orchard
behind the house. The sons in the
meanwhile are said to have armed
themselves with hoe and Ratchet
and it was when they approached
with these weapons in their hands
thai A. II. Adkins fired.
VIII Adkins fell first with a bull
let through his abdomen, and a mo-
ment later Frank was pierced by
three shots, two in the chest and
one in the hand.
Frank died in few minutes and
doctor from here operated on Will
Adkins in an effort to save his life.
Following the tragedy A. H. Ad-
kins himself notified the Sheriff by
phone of what had occurred and
then awaited the arrival of the Off
GERS.
Frank Adkins leaves a wife and
four children. Will Adkins has been
married twice, but has no children
by his second wife.

MONEY AGREED TO BE
ADVANCED TO GROWERS

Lexington, KY. June 5.-The So
luton to the problem of financial
troubles of the Tobacco Growers AS
ISOLATION, the new organization
formed here recently for the in
crease of the prevalent prices for
Burley tobacco, was reached here
when in conference with President
Frank M. Mckee, of the association,
d. C. Mills. chairman of the Cleve-
land Federal Reserve Bank, agreed
to an advancement from the bank
of seventy-tive per cent of a certain
valuation of the tobacco of the dis
trict to the growers through the new
association.
A detailed explanation of the sit
uation here was given to the repre-
sentative of the reserve bank byPres-
ident Mckee along with a statement
of the requirements of the new as
ISOLATION. Provision was made
for the valuation of the tobac-
co to be made through the Tobacco
Growers Association. the local
banks and perhaps an agreed third
party.
It is not even required by the re-
serve bank, according to the story,
that the tobacco be deposited in a
bonded warehouse, but that 1t be
safely stored and insured.

"The illness from which King

4 FRENCH AIR FLOT|LA
ATTACKS HEADQUARTERS
OF German Grown Prince
Bombs and Hail Of Steel
Arrows Fell.

London, June 5.-Swooping from
on high in the gray light of early
dawn, a rench air fiotilla, compris-
ing 30 aeroplanes, dropped IT'S
bombs on the field headquarters of
the German Crown Prince.
& The air squadron left its base be-
hind the French fines while 1t was
dark, and between 4 and O'Clock
appeared above the German head
quarters. Amid a hail of shell and
shrapnel the aviators took turns
dropping their supplies of high ex-
plosives and. their work ended, flew
away unframed.
The French night communique,
received here from Paris, fails to
state the location of the Crown
Princes headquarters. Besides
bombs the airmen loosed a hail of
steel arrows, several thousand being
thrown. A number of the bombs,
1t is stated, reached their mark, but
no estimate of the damage done is
possible.
Outside of this daring sally there
was little activity in the western
theater to-day. Violent fighting
continues in the German field work
known as the ''labyrinthe." south
west of Neuville-St. Vast, and the
French report further gains in the
trenches and cross trenches of this
maze. Berlin reports that lively
fighting is still going on in the re-
gion north of Arras, the struggle for
the. sugar refinery at Souchez. which
already has changed hands several
times. being particularly violent. At
last reports the French held this po-
sition.
Repeated rench attacks in the
Souchez-Neuville front. which at
times ragged hand-to-hand, were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to the at
lacking forces. Berlin reports. The
German War Office also states that
the Teuton artillery was forced to
destroy the tower of the Church of
st. Martin in Ypres. as artillery OBJ
servation posts had been discovered
there.
On the British front around Ypres
heavy lighting in which the Germans
claim the advantage, has been going
on around the village of HODGE, a
point strongly fortified by the Brit

AMERICAN NAVY is NOT
PREPARED, SAYS FISKE

Annapolis, Md, June Rear
Admiral Fiske, who attracted wide
spread attention by his statements
to the House Naval Committee on
the lack of adequate naval equip
ment, and who later retired from
the Office of aide for operations in
the Navy Department, spoke at
length on the unpreparedness of the
fleet, here at the Naval Academy
Alumni dinner. Admiral Fiske
spoke of the needs of the navy and
the necessity of making laymen real
lie them.
He said in part: Reasoning on
the assumption that the United
States desires that the navy shall be
able to guard our coast effectively
against the only kind of attack that
would be made. the navy must OBJ
tain several types of vessels and in
struments that We do not now pos
sess Cor possess only in insufficient
measured; must learn to use them.
both as units and as members of
one great unit. with skill at least
equal to that which foreign navies
already use them; must enlist and
efficiently train as large force of
enlisted men. active and reserve. as
our probable enemy would send I;
and must develop a general star or
some similar agency as skillful and
experienced as theirs"

MORE PIERS NEEDED
FOR CANAL TRAFFIC
Congestion So Great Third Be-
Ing Built; Plan Fourth.

Panama. Since the opening of the
canal a year ago the shipping in the
port of Cristobal, at the northern end
of the waterway, has increased SO rap
idly that the two 1000 foot steel end
concrete piers, costing $2,500y000 each,
ARE no longer adequate to care for the
vast amount of freight handled A
third pier is being built, and plans for
a fourth have been drawn up.
Frequently the congestion at the two
piers is so great that ships have to
wait their turn in order to get docking
room. This is causing considerable de
lay to traffic, especially that which
comes to the isthmus to be reshipped
to points along the coasts of Central
and South America. These broken car
goes are frequently delayed from a
month to six weeks.
1t had been thought that Balboa, the
southern terminus of the canal, would
become the most important transship-
ping port of the canal terminal. Two
1000 foot piers extending into the in
ner harbor, besides two long shore line
piers, were planned and are now in
course of construction. Officials now,
however, are of the opinion that this
will be far more than Balboa will re
quire for some years to come.
1t was expected that the South Amer
lean steamship lines would make that
their terminal port and that probably
some of the Atlantic connecting links
would pass through the canal to deliver
their cargoes at the Balboa docks; also
1t was thought that the cargo which
did not come through the canal in this
manner would be handled by the Pan
anna railroad.
The South American steamship lines,
however, suddenly decided to pass
through the canal and pick up their
cargoes at the Crlstobal terminals be
cause they learned they could use the
canal paying the tolls on a ballast ba-
sis one way, return with a full hold
and do 1t cheaper than if they made
Balboa their terminal The high tides
at the Balboa terminals also had much
to do with their decision. Besides,
freight rates on the Panama railroad
are said to be very high.

$25O,OOO,OOO IS
ASKED FOR ARMY
Secretary Garrison Wants That
Sum From Congress.
FOR DEFENSIVE PURPOSES.

Half a Million Trained Men In Five
Years Is Hope-Declares President
Wilson Will Try to Convince Leaders
Big increase Is ImperatiVe-Stoek of
Ammunition Recommended.
Washington.-The plans for the re-
organization of the army are nearing
completion and soon will receive the
presidents approval series of con-
ferences has been held at the White
House between the president, Secretary
of War Garrison and the chairmen OF
the senate and house committees on
military affairs.
The basis of these conferences will
be the report which Secretary Of War
Garrison is preparing with the assist
ance of the most experienced men in
the army. The purpose of the confer
ences will be to obtain the viewpoints
of the legislative leaders and to get
their approval of the Garrison plan.
The first and most important point
in relation to the plans appears to be
that Secretary Garrison will ask con-

gress at the next session for approx
mately $25O,OOO.OO0 for the use of the
army.
When Secretary Garrison appointed
a committee of ranking officers to go
into the questions they presented the
various needs of the army from their
viewpoint and then advised the head of
the department that it would require
5000 100000 this year to provide these
needs.
The secretary took the plans and an
alyzed them piece by piece until he has
finally cut the cost by $350,000,000.
As now worked out the plans provide
for an army built along the following
lines:
An immediate increase of between
25000 and 10000 men and 1000 off,
GERS.
The present enlistment terms to be
changed to the short enlistment, with
reserve provision which requires the
soldiers to return to the colors upon
call.
By the operation of this plan the
army at the end of five years would
consist of 100000 trained men-125, 900
In the service and $4,000 prepared to
join the colors at a moments notice.
The theory upon which this plan was
worked out was that the American
standing army should be for defensive
purposes only. In other words, 1t was
prepared upon the assumption that the
navy will be increased to such an ex-
tent that it can for long enough time
protect the two coasts against attack
to give the army a chance to build up
tremendous force with the 100000
men as basis.
The plan provides for the enlarge
ment OF the most important coast for
tIfications and the use OF the greatest
guns at the principal points.
general increase in all branches of
ordnance and the purchase of a stock
of ammunition plentiful enough to car
nv on an initial campaign.
In addition to the plan for the regu-
lar army there Will be a number of
suggestions for the standardization of
the militia. Because of the failure of
most of the state organizations to meet
the standards set down by the war de
partment it has been deemed inadvisa-
BILE to spend any great amount OF fed
eral money on these branches. 1t is
declared that President Wilson will
urge on the leaders that the proposed
increase is imperative

Some Forms of Rheumatism CurabIe
Rheumatism is a disease character

three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's lni-
