Laying particular emphasis on the

numerous other offenses into which the
Jury has inausitory power, Judge n. r.

which was impaneled yesterday morn,
ing at the opening session of criminal
court The Jury began its investi-
cations Immediately upon receiving the
charge and is expected to make its
initial report today Due to the I'M
usual rush of the farmers in this county
at the present time, it is very likely
that the Investigations of the court
will be confined strictly to the Jail doc
ket. thereby allowing the farmers
summoned before the court to return
to their work without any avodable de-
lay
The case of Edwin Martin, charged
with rape. who is now lodged in the
Davidson county Jail at Nashville for

BOLSHEVIKI OFFER
STRONG RESISTANCE
Poles Subjected to Heavy
Shellfire Before Kiev.

WARSAW, May 7. (By the Associated
Press. )-Bolshevik troops fighting In the
defense of the city Of Kiev have
strengthened their resistance consider
ably during the last "a hours: The
battle for the possession of the city still
is raging, according to latest advices.
The fighting is said to be particularly
severe northwest of the city, where the
Bolshevilli are using artillery stationed
just behind the front line entrench-,
ments, Other heavy guns are stationed
in the bridgehead territory there and
are directing, a heavy fire against the
attacking Polish and Ukrainians.
1t is assumed the soviet army Is
bringing up artillery from east OF the
Dnieper river, as shell fire is gradually
increasing as additional pieces are
placed in position. Railroad and high
way bridges in front Of Kiev were de-
stroyed by the retreating Bolshevih
but they are being rapidly repaired by
the Poles
Polish gains are reported along the
Dniester river, further south. Ukrainian
forces are driving southwark toward
Odessa and are reported to have cap
tured the village of Kamionka

ROAD BUILDING
At STANDST|L[
ALL OVER COUNTY
Delay in Shipment Of Gravel
Brings Serious Situation
Both in Shelby and Other
Sections.

Road building will come to an abso-
lute stop in the entire Memphis territory
unless railroads are able to supply more
cars Tor Shipment of gravel, concrete
mentS have been published on this sub
Ject but in every community taxpayers
are clamoring for better roads, seem
to think that perhaps other sections
have secured material
Il: W. Hale and Luther Jones, of the
Shelby county commission, had that
idea until they visited Illinois Central
railroad officials in Chicago and made
several trips over the Cook county
roads with state and county road en-
glneers. Railroad officials can give
no promise of immediate relief.
The dirt roads in Cook county are
IN almost as bad shape as our own"
said Mr.. Hale Fri lay 81 was surprised
to find that Cook county has about ZOO
miles OF dirt roads, and not much over
800 miles of modern hard surfaced
roads, although they claim to have 600
miles of the latter class. That figure
includes many of the roads which run
through the city limits proper, and
which should be classed as city streets.
No work on new road projects is going
on there. and engineers told us there
was no prospect of doing anything until
railroads could deliver road material"
Few Cars Received.
Mr.. Jones, who has charge Of the road
department, said that not more than 10
or II cars of gravel have been received
for Shelby county roads since the mid
die of April, although orders have been
placed for hundreds Of cars. There are
a few small gravel pits in the county,
but the Brunswick pit is the only one
with railroad trackage and it has been
closed down all this year for lack OF
cars and labor. The commissioners
have found that the Shelby county
gravel is not suitable for roads with
heavy traffic, although much of it has
been used on the less Travelled roads.
John Brown, chairman of the COM
mission, admits that the officials are
facing a situation hard to change,
Residents of every part of the county
are complaining" he said, land justly,
of the condition of the roads. The
spring softened the gravel roads. The
high price of lumber has caused the
cutting of timber, which is being hauled
over the county roads in heavy truck
trains, or with tractors, and these
heavy loads are cutting the best graV-

FIND STILL ALMOST
IN CITY OF JACKSON

JACKSON. Tenn. May T. (Spl)-
A large Illicit distllery, operated in a

was raided Thursday by S. p. Holt and
J. A. Deming, deputy prohibition agents
of Jackson, and the still destroyed, to-
gether with 100 gallons of beer. so gal
Ions of spent beer, and seven gallons
Of "moonshine" whisky. The prohi-
biton agents think they know who the
operators are, and arrest is likely to
follow The still appeared to have been
in operation for several months.
The great majority of stills located
by the jackson prohibition force, have
been in isolated sections OF the coun-
try, usually in a remote woods. The
location of this still was unusual i'll
that it was operated in a house near
the public thoroughfare and in the edge
of a town.

GOVERNMENT GOING
AFTER FAKE AGENTS
Federal Officials Angered at
Jobs Being Pulled.

After the untring efforts displayed
by government sleuths in the appre-
hension of violators of Uncle Sans
Eighteenth amendment. it seems i'm
possible that their thoughts should turn
10 other fields to conquer. According
to local internal revenue officers and
prohibition enforcement officers this,
however, is the case.
The particular brand of law opposers
that are thorns in the otherwise peace
full side of the local agents, are those
who have the audacity to pose as gov
eminent officers by buying different
styled badges from pawnshops, and in
thls way prey upon ignorance OF per
sons. Numbers of cases were reported
to the internal revenue office last month
and a general roundup of these self
styled government agents is expected
within the next few weeks.
When asked whether he would rather
| catch man with liquor on his person
or one of the impersonators of govern
ment officers, one of the agents, with a
look Of ill-cOnCealed pity at the Ques-
toner replied, Il would let a whole
carload of booze, with the man that
| owned II. slip by me any time If |
thought | could nab one of the guys
that is pulling all this funny stuff
around here"
Generally speaking. that assertion
seems to be the sentiment of the whole
internal revenue and prohibition en-
forcement force.
SO, Mr.. Reader, if you are lucky
enough to have a cellar full Of booze,
or even a little on the hip and are
| unluCky enough to have some guy come
up and say. II want YOU if is your
right as citizen of the United States
to demand the commission and Gre
dentials of the arresting officer. Don
be satisfied when he produces a badge,
| because anyone can buy a badge from
pawnshop, but only the real govern
ment agents have commissions and ere
dentials issued by the president with
a treasury department official seal
! upon it.
Don't give up your liquor without
absolute proof that it is going in Uncle
| Sans storehOuse, because how would
! you feel few hours later to see the
man that took it away from you sitting
| back in a chair calmly enjoying the
effects of the illicit beverage at your
expense?
