NERVES IN DAYTON ALREADY FRAYED Judge, Lawyers and Every- one Else About Ready . to Snap. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. DAYTON, July Every- hody connected with this Scopes trial s getting Maybe it's the hot, maybe it is just the natural heat of eternal conflict. In any event, the words which are being bandied about are as ng as the superheated air in the ercrowded room. It wouldn't be a bit surprising if some day soon somebody hurls a brick. A lot of ructions have been started in times agone on much less provocation. When a gentleman of the old South tells a gentleman of the effete East in open court to ‘“keep your mouth shut™ it is coming dangerously near to fighting word: And as vet the “lawsuit” really hasn't started. The pre] naries are still in progres: Even happy Judge Raulston is getting all unstrun shown by the fact that just because an Eastern reporter took a “hunch” and telegraphed his papers that the judge was going to overrule the defense’s motion to quash the indictment, he stopped the pro. ceedings and threatened dire punish- ment for “contempt of court” and all that sort of thing r Tenn 15. the stifiing weather; jumps. May Open Doors to Experts. Now there is the further hunch go- ing the rounds that, after siding with the State on the sufficiency of the in- and the constitutionality of ion law, Judge Raul- hold for the defense that scientific and. expert testimony cer- tainly is called in the case and will open wide the doors for the visit- ing savants. This will have the ef- fect of prolonging the case indefinite- 1¥, but the judge and the lawyers said the experts and the “cranks” all seem to be enjoying themselves and Day- ton’s progressive merchants and hotel keepers are simply thrilled. Even the defendant does not shrink or shrivel up at the thought of a long drawn-out hearing. Some one has suggested that he might be given leave of absence to go on a lecture tour while the trial is in progress, the one condition being that he shall return home some time during the late Summer to hear the sentence of the learned court pronounced upon his luckless blonde head. The de- fendant is not an heoric figure. He is just a nice, Ic boy. He hasn’t worn & coat or a hat since he came back some weeks ago from his epoch-mak- ng visit to New York. But he cer- would “go big” on the chau- cuits just about now, and it seems a shame he cannot reap some gort of financial harvest from his acholastic whirlwind anti ston will Prayer Maker. And then there is all this quarreling about opening the court with prayer. Tt was indicated in these dispatches several days ago that the defense was going to object to a daily invocation. Some folks thought Clarence Darrow wouldn't have the nerve to get up in open court and voice such an objec- tion, especially after the fundamental- ist demonstrations which have swept the courtroom from time to time and have shown which way the sultry re ligious winds are blowing down these Tennessee vall They reckoned without_their I The Chicago lawyer knew he would be a second Ajax defying the light- ning: he knew that hot curses would be heaped upon his aged head and drooping shoulders, but he stood up there and had his say, and then mo. hody wondered that Dayton’s lighi went out and the water supply sud- denly failed. Dayton will never be the same until Darrow leaves. Even then it may be marked for life. That Darrow is an agnostic has been writ- ten deep in the court records of the county. State counsel hurled the word at the defense. Malone and ®ome of the others hotly resented the charge. Darrow accepted it with that dry, provoking smile which plays al- ways so close to his lips Another Row Women Crowd Court. The farmers opening day of called down here. were at court on the “the lawsuit” as it is But nowadays the audience is made up almost wholly of the womanfolks. Some are tourists from the North and West and they wear knickerhockers and bobbed hair. But nobody seems to mind and the women all love Mr. Bryan., They are anxious to see Darrow, too. They wouldn't miss him for the worid, but they hate him The ver battles hetween counsel these last few days have been highly edifying to the populace. Everybod it seems, has been waiting for “things to_warm up. Some laws ain't it, boy?” exclaimed one delighted farmer as he slapped his neighbor on the back These Tennessee folks like to | &0 to court even when there's nothing particular going on It mall won. der that at present they are in their glory. Visitors have to catch up with the court vernac down here. You have got to learn, for instance, tha court never “mee “adjourns.” It just naturally “takes up” and “lets out.” It is all right to smoke in the qourtroom until court “takes up,” but after that it is verboten The com pliance almost one hundred per cent, but every now and then a cop has to threaten to “drag somebody out of here direc There are signs Judge Raul- ston is beginning to tire of the depre. dations of the moving picture and still cameramen the courtroom every morning. For a time the movie men actually sat on the bench. It looked ! as though at any moment they might | aven use th> judge as a tripod. The | judge seemed to like it fo a time, but familiarity invariably will breed some sort of contempt, anl today the court avow=>d he would aliow 15 min- utes for picture taking and no *mo’." To the c 41 observer, anxious to see the trial move a little faster, that seems fair Most courts wouldn't be o tolerant al 19 | MEXICAN LOAN SIMPLIFIED | Revenue From Tobacco Tax Will Help Redemption.

By Consolidated Press PARKDALE, Oreg., July 15.—"The only rational prayer an evolutionist can offer is: ‘Our father, who art in a cocoanut tree, hallowed be thy name.’ " Far from the crowded courtroom in Dayton, Tenn., enjoying the cool and quiet of his ranch in the Hood River Upper Valley, Billy Sunday awoke suddenly from a peaceful midday nap and delivered the above declaration The writer surprised the evangelist stretched out on the floor of his airy bungalow. Billy had dropped off into a snooze while “Ma'" Sunday, comfort- ably attired in a $1 gingham gown (she said so herself), read aloud to him. The Rev. Mr. Sunday had been urged to assist his fellow evangelist Bryan in the Scopes trial, but the lure of snow.capped mountains and his qulet ranch proved too great. He came West instead, but. like an old cavalry horse responding to gun powder, he leaped from the floor with a typical Sunday spring when he heard the word “evolution.” He turned his back for a moment RAULSTON DENIES + MOTION TO QUASH SCOPES INDICTMENT (Continued from First Page) and dug his fingers into his eyes like a small boy aroused from slum ber, then he shot out: “If man is evolved from a monkey, then why are there any monkeys mow? You can't answer that to save your life.” As nobody attempted to answer it, Billy grew less vehement and passed glasses of cold spring water. Then he continued, more mildly: “There's no case on regord where the species ever changed. Burbank develops plant life, but he cannot change it. That's not evolution, it's development. So with life. Seed turns to corn, but that is growth, not evo- lution. o teach evolution is atheism, for it denies the existence of God. Athe- ism is a public enemy. It destroys society and erects the evil. If one man has a right to break some law, then all men have a right to break some law. Evolution is bent on ejecting God from the universe. It it's evoluted, God did not create it. If God created it, it did not evolute. When you say creation you deny evo- lutlon.” Why, the idea is too silly to talk abou BRITAIN REFUSES TO JOIN RIFF WAR AT FFENCH REQUEST (Continued from First Page) proper it may abandon one plan and try another. In conclusion, he said “It is is further pertinently said that it is impossible to conceive the existence of a uniform system of pub- lic schools without powers lodged somewhere to make them uniform, and in tHe absence of express consti- tutional provisions, the power must necessarily reside in the Legislature, and hence it has the power to pre- scribe a_course of study as well as of the books to be used, and how they shall be obtained and distributed. Overrules Whole Motion. “We find neither reason mnor au thority that suggests a doubt as to the power of the Legislature to re- quite a_designated series of books to be used in school “The rule prevailing in Tennessee by which the courts are governed in passing upon the constitutionality of statutes is this: The rule of construg- tion that every intendment and pre- sumption is in favor of the constitu- tionality of the statute and that every doubt must be solvedgso as to sus- tain it, and where it is subject to two constructions, that which will sustain its constitutionality must be adopted. “The court, having passed on each ground chronologically and given the reasons therefor, is now pleased to overrule the whole motion, and re- quire the defendant to plead further.” At the conclusion of the reading of the decision defense counsel noted an exception to the denial of the quash- ing motion and then filed a demurrer, which embodied the same contention of the late motion to quash. Frank McElwee, Rhea County attorney, made his first statement for the defense in noting the exception. Judge Raulston then ordered a re- cess, and at the close of the recess recessed agatn until the afternoon ses- sion, announcing, however, the court would recénvene at 1 o'clock instead of 1:30 Defense Objects to Prayers. Rev. Charles Francis Potter, pastor of the West Side Unitartan Church, New York, opened the trial today with prayer. Dr. Potter was called to the platform by the court after President Stribling of the Dayton Pastors’ As- soctation had announced the name of the visiting minister as the choice of the association Judge Raulston yesterday _an- nounced that he would ask the Day- ton Pastors’ Association to nominate a minister to make the opening pray- er each day. This followed & protest from the defense at the custom of having a dally praver. Just after the brief prayer Mr. Neal of defense counsel gained the floor to make his attitude clear on the question of prayer in court. He objected, he said, to any religious at- mosphere in the courtroom during the trial of the case. Mr. Hicks of State counsel an- nounced that the State denies that there is a religious controversy in the case, and objected. in behalf of the prosecution, ““to this heckling” every morning on the subject of prayer. He asked that the court stop the daily protest and place it in the record Judge Raulston said he had had no regard for depominational lines in selecting ministers for the morning prayer. He hoped, he said, that these prayers would “do some good.” They will not hurt any one and “may helg Clarence Darrow noted an excep- tion to the remarks of the court. Apologizes for Attorney General Stewart ognized to say that he had made a re- mark in court yesterday that he Wished to withdraw. He had express- ed himself in a_discourteous manner to Mr. Hays of defense counsel, he said. I feel very much ashamed that I have not been courteous to Mr. Hays and there was nothing back of it but a little ruffled temper.” Mr. Hays.rose to say that he was happy to accept the apology of the at- torney general. He asked that the were made on Ain Aicha, one of the most important French points in the Fez protections, and at Bab Morouj, near Taza. Abd-el-Krim is straining every nerve in preparation to strike blow against the French before the Franco- Spanish co-operation becomes effective. All the Information gathered by the French intelligence service tends to bear out this assertion. The Riffian propaganda is especially active and appears ‘to be meeting with success, notably among the Tsouls and Branes in tHé Taza region, of which tribes further portions have gone over to Abd-elKrim. These defections are also beginning to have an effect upon the Tohiatas, a warlike tribe, whose abandonment would be a serious complication for the French. Intermittent along the line. fighting- continues all Although of a minor character, it is extremely wearing upon the troops, who are suffering from the heat and from the strain of constant vigilance. A French bombing plane broke down vesterday, forcing a landing three miles in front of the French lines near Taza. _Another machine went to the rescue, but its pilot, seeing the non-commissioned officers of the first plane surrounded by Riffans gave them up for lost. The two, however, came into the French lines later, having fought their way through the enemy lines with their carbines and bombs. Their plane, which was the first to fall into enemy territory. was destro ed by shots from French field pieces Gen. Wolf Is Reassigned. Brig. Gen. Paul A. Wolf, recently promoted, has been relieved from duty at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., and as- signed to command the 5th Infantr Brigade at Vancouver Barracks, Washington. _He will relieve Maj. Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn, also recently promoted, who will, however, remain on duty at Vancouver Barracks, pending further orders. State’s attorneys avoid reference to the States from which the defense at torneys came and their religious be- liefs. Mr. Neal asked the attorney general then to remove from the record a “gneering remark” alleged to have been made toward defense counsel. Richard Beamish, chairman of the reportorial committee appointed to in- quire into the premature publication vesterday of what purported to be the judge's decision on the motion to ent did not get the decision from the court’s stenographer and believed the information he sent out to be true. The committee recommended that the correspondent be not removed from the court. Judge Raulston asked the source of the information and was told that it came from the court through deduc- tion. Judge Raulston asked who the correspondent was and Beamish re- ported that it was William K. Hutch- inson of the International News Serv ice. Mr. Hutchinson was asked to | come before the court, and Judge | Raulston asked if he had a statement to make, explaining that he need not feel obliged to make a statement. Mr. Hutchinson said that he would prefer to make a statement to the court in chambers. Mr. Beamish. spoke up to say that Mr. Hutchinson was “thoroughly ethical.” The court announced that the news- paper men would be given a private audience.

SCOPES CASE SIDELIGHTS DAYTON, Tenn., July 16 (®).—The story was told in Dayton today of how Dudley Field Malone was aped by an ape. One of the animals brought to Day- ton by publicity seekers was carried to “The Mansion” last night for a visit with the proposed scientific wit- nesses for the defense, who are mak- ing the public house their headquar- ters here, the story said. Interested with the animal the scientists were said to have placed it in Malone’s chair at the table around which they were grouped. While they were discussing the ape and subjecting it to various tests Malone entered the room. The conclusion of the story was that Malone, disliking the farce, call- ed an automobile, bundled the ape and his master into it and sent them back to town. Dayton prepared for a flood and re- ceived a shower. The anticipated crowds have failed to materialize. Al- though hundreds of people have visit- ed the town within the past five days, since the beginning of the trial, the numbers have fallen far beneath the sanguine expectations of Daytonians.

The exchanges turn entirely on that point, since all of the powers signatory to the "Washington arms treaties and resolutions already stand committed to the principle of revision of the special rights enjoyed by their citizens in that country. The expression of French opinion that the “essential preliminary of the prospective revision ‘“is that China restore order and show she can main- tain it" is not entirely understood in Washington. The only thing proposed by Secretary Kellogg and given com- plete sanction by President Coolidge is that the preliminary study by an in- ternational commission of inqliry “in- to the present practice of extraterri- torial jurisdiction in China, and into the laws and judicial systems and the methods of judicial administration of China,” provided for under Wash- ington resolution No. 5, be initiated without dela: It is further provided in the resolution that the commission shall recommend to the governments “suit- able”” methods to improve the Chinese judictal . system and “assist and further the efforts of the Chinese government to effect such legislation and judicial reforms as would warrant the several powers in relinquishing, either progressively or otherwise, their respective rights of extraterritoM. ality.” The resolution includes both on the part of the western signatory powers and of China herself the specified reservation that none of the signatory powers shall be bound by the findings of the commission of inquirv and that each may accept or reject such of the commission’s recommendations as it sees fit In view of these clear limitations upon the nature of the inquiry to be made, the American Government has been able to see no merit in the con- tention that the inquiry should await more stable political - conditions in China. The Washington policy is based on the belief that inauguration of the ex- traterritorial inquiry would of itself aid in stabilizing the Chinese situation and help to pave the way for an actual curtailment of the extraterri torial privileges foreigners now enjoy and which have been continuously for regarded with hostility by ups in the Chinese population /O%J.In-:sc “Pledged to Quality” Fourteenth St. at New York Ave. During July and August—Close 2 P.M.
