- g~ SCOPES' WHO'S WHO - LIST IS NOTABLE Antis Outnumber Pros, But Have Famous Men on Their Side, Too. i BY ROBERT T. SMALL. DAYTON, Tenn., July 10.—They are at grips at last—the evolutionists and the antl-evolutionists—and poor old Darwin undoubtedly is turning over In his grave. As the famous battle starts it is perhaps well to take Tnote of the principals to set out a sort of “who's who in Monkeyville,” as the natives are affectionately terming their town. The line-up shows a prepoonderance of legal talent on the side of the fundamentalists, numeri cally speaking, but the battle ranks of the evolutionists are close knit and they will give a good account of themselves against the embattled antis. Here, then, are the fighting forces: For evolution: John Thomas Scopes, high school teacher and prisoner at the bar, charged with violating the State’s new statute forbiding any one to teach anything which contradicts in any way the story of the creation of man as set forth in the Bible. Young Scopes is only 24 and now that he has suddenly discarded his horn-rim he looks just like any n of the boys around Dayton. The “Professor” still is in something of a daze that he should be the center of such a world-curdling controversy Darrow Heads Defense. Clarence Darrow, lawyer, of Chi cago, champlon counsel for the de fense; hero of the Loeb-Leopold legal battle, friend of the downtrodden, de fender of “Big Bill" Haywood at Boise, Idaho; defender of the Mc Namaras in the famous Los Angeles dynamiting case; defender of himself in charges growing out of that case philosopher, agnostic, 68 years old, tired and wanting to retire, but some- body is always getting into trouble and keeping the “old man” active. Some one has said of Darrow that he has been almost 50 years at the bar and has never lost a really big case. Judge John R. Neal of Rhea Coun ty, chief Tennessee counsel for Scopes; recently a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and likely to run again. A brilliant torney, & man of means, a winning personality, slight of stature, heavy sandy eyebrows and smooth-shaven whenever he happens to think of visiting_a barber shop, which isn't often. The judge has almost a studied disregard for matters of dress, but is held in high esteem. Dudley Field Malone of New York, special counsel for the Civil Liberties Union, one-time collector of the port under Woodrow Wilson and long a prominent lawyer. Mr. Malone not only has been active, but is generally credited with inducing Darrow to come into the case. May Get Wheeler Case. Arthur Garfield Hays of New York, neral counsel for the Civil Liberties Unlon, lawyer and liberal, it is under- #tood here, is scheduled to become ehief counsel for Senator Burton K Wheeler of Montana when the lat- fer's case is called for trial in Wash ogton the latter part of next month John L.

Mr. Bryan was first on the scene and has been exhorting the countryside-every day. He says evolution s an attack upon all religion and he feels that religion Bhould come above the schools and everything else, that there should be @ducation of the heart and soul above education of the mind. "It is & battle to the death,” says Mr. Bry 3P evolution wins, religion goe: Bryan long has been a lawyer, seldom appeared in court. {UAttorney General A. T. Stewart— .

Defense Attorney Quits. __ (Continued from First Page) nings Bryan provoked a burst of handclapping from spectators, pack- ing the courtroom. As the leading member of the prosecution’s staff of attorneys walked within the bar of the court he was greeted cordlally by Darrow and Malone. After the prayer Judge Raul- ston rapped for “order in the court” at 9:14. Sheriff Harris announced that court was duly in session. Darrow Removes Coat. George W. Rappleyea took his seat bv the defendant. Darrow took oft his coat. It was hot. Willlam Thompson of Chicago and New York joined defense lawyers. He announced he was assoclated with Darrow in the case. Activities of the court were held up for a few minutes while counsel for both sides posed with the judge on the stand. A dozen photographs were taken. Mr. Darrow was in his shirt sleeves. The others wore coats. Judge Raul- ston posed, holding his gavel aloft. The judge instructed the sheriff to seat all spectators and permit others to stand against the walls. “Mr. Attorney General, I am call- ing the case of the State of Tennessee against John Thomas Scopes,” an- nounced Judge Raulston. Crowd Stands at Prayer. The crowd rose as the judge's gavel fell. They stood during the opening prayer. amera men focused their aphers were given their in. ning. Visiting counsel ranged behind the judge and gazed into a snapping battery of picture makers. The crowd considered itself “‘at ease” and | disev the situation _ audibly. | “amera men retired and the judge hammered for order. Spectators sat | down, but the attorneys received a second admonition. The space around the judge was crowded with court| attaches A tow-headed 2-year-old boy sat on Judge Raulston’s desk and drew the jury panel. The judge broke his eyeglasses and was forced to leave the bench to get Mrs. Raulston’'s assistance in repair- ing the damage. The operation was successful. Judge Reads Bible. | Raulston’s voice rang out clearly as | he read the first chanter of Genests | to the grand jury. Men in the crowd | looked «t one another significantly as | he read the scriptural story of cre-| ation. Jurymen listened with heads| erect and grave faces. | As Judge Raulston was convening | court a blind musician stationed his | organ upon the courthouse lawn and began playing old-fashioned hymns A crowd assembled around him and soon began singing the tunes. As the music continued, others were | attracted to the scene, and while the grand jury was being empaneled in the courtroom above the faint sounds of old hymns drifted through the courtroom windows During the intermission the crowd | poured out upon the lawn and gath- ered in groups to discuss the trial de- velopments. The country folk reclined upon the grass. Mothers comforted waiting infants or cuddled their young in their arms. Debate Gathers Crowd. A debate arose between two cham- plons of the Bible. They argued a theological question lustily while scores circled them and listened closely. A grizzled, beared man left the courthouse exclaiming: “Didn’t that blessed old Bible sound good as he read it there to the grand jury?” Another troubador entered the iron-fenced lawn and set up compe- tition with the organist. His tunes were in lighter vein. The favorite sang the merits of men in many occupations and always concluded with the refrain: “But the farmer is the man who | feeds them all.” In the courtroom men availed | themselves of the recess opportunity to smoke. Two hundred or more re- frigndly judge with a keen sense of | humor, but imbued with the solem- nity of the proceedings before him. In addition, there are sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, clerks and the usual court attaches, but in the final judgment thev will have no part. | B e ———r Bacillus Acidophilus Milk For intestinal disorders Ask your physiclan abeut it Prepared by the i teach instead that man has descended THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, GRAND JURY REINDICTS SCOPES TO CORRECT TECHNICAL ERROR While Flaw Is Repaired. tained their seats, which were now at a premium. Women, who were finding seats in increasing numbers, used fans, hats and papers to com- bat the intense heat. Judge Raulston returned at 10:45 and the people outside began to troop again into the courtroom. A squad of blue uniformed police from Chattancoga entered the court- room and took positions where they could best maintain order. Prohibition Drastic. The law Scopes is charged with vio- lating prohibits the teaching of evo- lution theory in all universities, nor- 7nals and all other public schools of Pennessee which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds of the State. Section 1 declares that it shall be unlawful “for any teacher in any of the universities, normals and ail other public schools of the State which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds of the State to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to from a lower order of animal.” In section 2 it'is decreed that “any teacher found gullty of the vio. lation of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 for each offense.” The bill was passed March 13, and became & law when Gov. Austin Peay signed it March 15. Friend Caused Arrest. Scopes, a native of Paducah, Ky and graduate of the State Universit was teaching general science in the Rhea County High School, at Dayton, | when the iaw was passed. In the course of his duties he held a review in blology some 30 days after the! approval of the act, and a discussion | of the text book on biology and the so-called “anti-evolution” law in a drug store debate led to a warrant for Scopes’ arrest being sworn to by his triend, George . Rappleyea. A preliminary hearing followed and at a special session of a Rhea County grand jury Scopes was Indicted. | charged with a violation of the law Judge Raulston ordered special term of court to convene at Day- ton July 10 to try the case. Rap-| pleyen withdrew as prosecutor, and Walter White, rerintendent of | schools, was installed in his place. | Willlam Jennings Bryan became as sociated with counsel for the prosecu- | tion and Darrow, Malone, Hays and Bainbridge Colby joined the de- | fense with John Randolph Neal and John L. Godsey. Only Mr. Colby will | not be present at the Dayton trial, the | former Becretary of State announcing | Wednesday that he would not be able to attend.

Also Is Seen, By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 10.—It has been a long time since any occurrence in the United States has attracted such an amount of attention here as the pros- ecution of John T. Scopes, at Dayton, Tenn., for teaching the theory of evo- lution in violation of a State law. The incident has already been the subject of numerous cabled stories, and malled articles, and with the opening of the trial today the papers feature it with remarkable promin- encé. Some publish long detaled special articles from their correspond- ents in the United States, and others display the news agency reports, while most of the front papges bear pletures of Scopes and Willlam Jen- nings Bryan. No sympathizers with the anti-evo- lution ~ standpoint have expressed themselves publicly thus far, and all the editorial comment either treats the case in a humorous vein or pro- fesses amazement that the fundamen- talist view is serfously held by men of Mr. Bryan's position and attain- ments. Calls Law Fantastic. This, however, {8 not to say that bellevers in the literal text of the Bible do not exist in England, but the view of the ordinary Englishman is probably correctly gauged in the Dally Mall editorial today, which says: “In this country, where free ex pression of opinion has been so long a recognized right, and where the doctrine of evolution is treated as a purely scientific question, having | nothing to do with religion, the idea of prosecuting a man for preaching Darwinism would appear to be fan- tastic. * ‘¢ o ONLY TWO Charming 7-room and Bath Bungalows at $6,100 and Several More Equally Delightful 5-room and Bath Bungalows at $5,700 on terms far easier to meet than rent, at North Decatur Heights Water, Sewer, Gas and Electricity new sundivision facos the Ed. ad ewly toncreted ng from Bladens- This menston State by, instakingly buily un- supervision of the eatly T surrounded with con the prices given GASCH & GASCH, Builders Telephone Hyattsville 920 or 245 Agents are on the premises “bread” TRISCUIT If you like Shredded Wheat Biscuit, you will like Triscuit, the Shredded Wheat cracker.

Evolution Is God’s Method of Creating Man, Bishop Says British Divines and Scien- tists Shocked by Ten- nessee Law. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 10.—Some of Eng- land’s most noted divines and scien- tists condemn the Tennessee law for- bidding the teaching of evolution, in a symposium published by the weekly Nature. These views were assembled by the weekly because the trial at Dayton, Tenn., of John T. Scopes for teaching the theory of evolution is at- tracting almost as much interest in England as In the United States. Some of the opinions quoted say the Tennessee law s the result of “igno- rant fanaticism”; that it is a “medle- val gesture,” and a “curlosity in the history of civilization.” The Bishop of Birmingham s quoted by Nature as saying: ““As one who values intellectual freedom, I am shocked that Anglo-Saxon communi- ties should seek by legislation and prosecution to prevent the spread of knowledge. “As a Christlan, T am dismayed by a_movement which opposes a reason- able formulation of the Christian faith * * ¢ The normal, educated, Christian Britain regards the process of evolution as the machinery where- by God created man. Every divine of any eminence among us accepts this point of view."” 3 Nature quotes E. W. MacBride, pro- epace real Radiola Super-Heterodyne built into a suitcase! No antenna ot ground needed !
