labor and skill and involving re-
of vast Importance.
The selection Of Congressman
Sims for a place on this commits
sion closely identifies Tennessee
with an undertaking of national
scope and meaning. Wherefore
the reelection of Mr.. Sims to
the House at this time is urgent
if Tennessee is to be represented
in the governments attempt at
solving a problem in which the
whole nation is interested. The
defeat of Congressman Sims
would deny Tennessee this i'm
portant representation, for the
work of the commission will con-
sumo two or three years, and if
he is not returned to the Con-
gress his connection with it
ceases automatically. Congress
man Sims ranks next to Chair
man Adamson on the House
committee on interstate and
foreign commerce and he was
selected to serve with the chair
man on this commission because
of his intimate and thorough
knowledge of the subject matter
involved in the proposed investi.
cation. Another reason for re-
electing Congressman Sims as
well as all other Democratic
me m b ers of the House is
that the Democratic majority
in the House is now only
rs, and it is not certain that it
will not be reduced in the CON-
ing election, although President
Wilson wins his reelection. As
a matter of fact, the president
is stronger than his party in
several doubtful states like Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota, Kansas and Nebras-
ka, and the Democrats will need
every member they now have to
insure the carrying forward of
President Wilson's progressive
policies. The Eighth is the
closest Democratic district in
Tennessee. especially in national
elections, and if Congressman
Sims is returned this year he
will need the support of every
Democrat in his district.

T.Y. ROBBINS KILLED EARLY
THURSDAY BY SON N-|N-LAW

T. X. Robins, 40, substantial
23rd District farmer, and well
known in every section of Henry
and Benton counties, was shot
and instantly killed by his SON.
in-law, Crawford Wynns, about
6 o'clock Thursday morning.
Wynn is under arrest.
Details of the shooting are
meager. but from what can be
learned it seems that the trouble
has been brewing for the past
two or three years, and that it is
the outcome Of a family feud.
From what could be learned it
seems that Robbins had been
indicted in the circuit court at
Paris by Wynns. and that Rob-
bins had made threats on Wynns'
life for 80 doing. Robbins was
placed under bond to keep the
peace, but it is said that he made
the statement that he would
shoot Wynns on sight, and that
he had armed himself for the
meeting. It is understood that
Robbins had been out of the
county for several weeks and
had only returned the night
before the tragedy.
The killing occurred within a
quarter mile of Robbins home
in the public road. 1t is sup
posed that the two men met and
with few words the shooting
started.
Robbins was shot three times,
a double barreled shotgun being
used by Wynns.

RUSSIANS MOVING
 FORWARD SLOWLY
German Achievements Are Holding Up the Advance of the
 Slays

London, June 21.-The official commu- nication issued today by the German, Austrian and Russian war offices all in- dicate that, as had been anticipated, the Germans are making determined eff fort to resume the initiative lost by the Russian General Brusiloff's drive and create a diversion by a strong attack on General Kuropatkins armies in the north. especially in Volhynia on the Styr and Stokhod rivers in an effort to pre- vent the Russians receiving reinforce ments.
 Although up to the present the Ger mans are making no striking advances, they are clearly holding up their oppo- nents. Most stubborn fighting with fluctuating results, is proceeding around Gruziatyn, west of Kolki The Germans also are again attacking farther north, in the Smorgon district, and in the re- zion of Riga. Military experts say that it remains to be seen whether the Ger mans will be able to bring sufficient pressure in these sectors to relieve the hard pressed Austrians in Bukowina and enable them to make fresh stand on a new line.

streets with instructions to put down any disorders.
 At General Gonzales headquarters a victory for Mexico was being claimed The scene of the front room of the com- mandancia, where the younger officers were gathered, was holiday-like. Several of them, speaking of the battle, said: 'We won."
 They remained composed, however, and made little reference to the incident.
 Juarez first learned of the fight in a vague form in the early afternoon The civil population then began to pack their household goods.
 Many already had left for interior points by morning train in anticipation of the trouble. Others crossed to Fl Paso later in the day.
 CARRYING ARMS
 A curious scene of the late day was a procession of civilians carrying arms. In age they ranged from small boys, not as tall as their guns, up to old men. Most of them were in the ragged dress of the peon, but some belonged to the better class.
 Warlike activity was first noticed at the railway yard where a string of freight cars lay coupled to several day coaches that bore the name of the army corps of the north. A number of men were em- ployed in slowing sacks of beans and flouS forage and other army supplies. Late in the afternoon rather large body of Mexican cavalry passed through the town toward the hills. Many wagons filled with women and children were bound also in that direction.
 No instance of any attempt to molest any Americans was reported during the daytime. After dark no American is be- lieved to have remained in Juarez. A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT
