DAYTON, Tenn., July 20.—An ef- fort to distinguish between science and the Bible and conform the two was the meat of a statement by the defense at- torneys admitted to the record of the Scopes case today. The statement was prefaced with the declaration that although the de- |fense, as lawyers, ““take no position on the truth of the storfes of the Bible, we wish to state that we should be |able to prove from learned biblical scholars that the Bible is both a literal and figurative document, that God speaks His parables, allegories, some- times literally and sometimes spirit- y.

For the first time members of the expedition can talk by radiophone at will without pre-arranged schedules e e 5 < between the ship Bowdoln and the given when Premier Painleve told | AR P ] steamship Peary. is on the Bowdoin and McDonald is on the Peary. “We are using phone exclusively between the Bowdoin and the Peary,” the message said. All that was necessary was to go to the transmitter, built like a_tele- phone, start the generators, and call out “This is WAP calling WNP." A loud speaker receives the voice on the Bowdoin, Reinartz, the radio expert, gets the call, goes to his transmitter and answers. McDonald asks for MacMillan, who goes to the trans- mitter, and the two men converse. “This evening we entertained the Eskimos at Popedale by letting them talk to their friends across the harbor on the Bowdoin,” McDonald's message added. “They're all like children and can’t comprehend what it's all about.” Western radio stations now are heard more distinctly each day by the expedition members, indicating the same conditions MacMillan found on his last expedition, when Western sta- tions heard his radio signals more frequently than stations elsewhere on the continent.

PRESIDENT AND KANSAN IN ACCORD ON REVISION 25 Per Cent Surtax and Inheri- tance Levy Abolition Goals of Republican Leaders. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. SUMMER WHITE HOUSE, SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., July 20— Pressing questlons of the day, the im- minent coa! sirike, taxation revision, acton on the World Court proposal by the Senate and a tentative logis- lative program for the next Congress, were taken under consideration today by President Coolidge in conference with Senator Curtis of Kansas, Re- publican leader of the Senate; other party leaders and friends at White Court. “I am confident that there will be no coal strike,” Senator Curtis said after the conference. ‘“The adminis- tration is doing everything possible to | that the efforts of the Government, {along with public opinion, will force | the miners and coal operators to an agreement which will keep the mines operating after September 1. Outlines Legislation. Senator Curtis declined to indicate in any specific way the legislative { program for the next Congress. He said that he would consult his steer- |ing committed before reaching an conclusion as to the priority of legis- |lation. However, he sald that the legislative program was most ap- { parent, that it naturally would include t is thought necessary, action on the World Court and ship subsidy in some | shape. | of reorganization of the executive de- partments of the Federal Government. He said today that he would use his influence to get the reorganization bill passed by the next Congress, Le- lleving if the departments of the Government are reorganized prop- erly there will be a great saving in money and greater efficiency in the conduct of the Government's business. Senator Curtis said that he intended to press reorganization legislation with all his power In order to save money“and effect the largest tax re- ductfon possible. Government departments, if brought about, a saving of perhaps, $250,000,- 000 might be madeé. This, with the present surplus of about $250,000,000, the surtaxes to 25 per cent, and would not oppouse going further in this di- rection if the revenues permit?" Senator Curtis came here this morning at the request of President Coolidge and will remain a guest at White Court for several days, or until he and the President have gone over thoroughly the situation and mapped out a program, rough, and reached a general agree- ment on the salient features of the { proposed new tax bill. Wants Surtax Slash. Both President Coolidge and Senator tion that taxes should be revised all along the line, so that relief from the tax burden shall come to the small as well as the larger taxpayers. President Coolidge insists that the normal taxes, now 2 per cent, shall be reduced slightly, but his great con- cern is over a decrease ithe sur- taxes. He has let it be known that he believes that the present maximum surtax of 40 per cent is driving money out of industries and business enter- prises and placing it in tax-exempt se- curities. The result of this, accord- ing to his way of thinking, is that prosperity is affected and that the Government is not obtaining as much revenue as it would if the surtaxes were lower. The general opinion among Republi- can leaders is that the surtaxes can be reduced to 25 per cent, although for a reduction below that figure, if the surpluses in the Treasury justify such a reduction. It is not probable that the next tax revision, to be un- dertaken by the next Congress, will | heritance taxes, the highest of which {is 40 per cent. Against Inheritance Tax. The position of Mr. Coolidge upon the inheritance tax is that such a tax jshould not be levied at all by the Fed- eral Government, but should be left to the jurisdiction of the several States. Now all but four States have an in- heritance tax, so that, with the Fed- eral tax a point of conflscation of wealth is reached in many cases. President Coolidge wants the Fed- eral Government gradually to retire that the States will relinquish their taxes on income in return for the abandonment by the Federal Govern- ment in due time of the inheritance tax. The conference President Coolidge is holding with Senator Curtis will deal not only with taxation, but will touch upon the situation among the farmers of this country. The admin- istration desires to aid the agricul- turists in any practical way, but.is opposed to the provision of the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill which provides for fixing prices of wheat and places the Government in business. The position of the administration is that the farmers should diversify their crops, improve their market facilities and adopt more businessiike methods of operation. The feeling exists today that the Government will not need to give any further aid to the farmers other than the loan facil- ities provided by the War Finance Corporation and the farm loan banks, | it the crop conditions turn out suc- | cessfully, as it appears will be the case, judging by the reports collect- ed by the Department of Agriculture and submitted to the President since coming to White Court.

At the Department of Agriculture, which was most prominently men- “illustrations” where field employes were receiving both cash salary and also items of subsistence or mainten- ance, it was said that the decision had been received, and was being care- fully studied. There was no indica- tion, however, as to what action will {be taken nor how soon. No declarations were forthcoming from the Departments of Commerce {and Interior regarding the matter. | These departments were mentioned in the controller’s decision as ones in which he “understood” such practices were in vogue. In some quarters it was pointed out that such fleld employes will have to take sharp cuts In salaries unless their work is of such high quality and responsibility that their salarles under the classification act might be raised several rates in the grade, or even from one grade to another. Em- ployes, however, may not be promoted out of line with the rest of the Gov- |ernment establishment, under classification act. The date of June 30, 1926, for final change in the salary situation was in- terpreted by some as a loophole left by the controller to have the depart- ments get Congress straighten out the matter equitably. But the decision of the controller plainly indicates that the sum of the extras and the cash salary must not be in excess of the salary the em- ploye would be justified in receiving in cash.

PARLEY ON SECURITY | URGED BY GERMANY France, However, Fears Guarantees Offered Will Be Un- satisfactory. By the Associated Press PARIS, July 20.—The German reply to the French security pact note, it is asserted, expresses the wish of the government to have the securit question discussed In an international conference. However, it is feared that the parts of the note dealing with guarantees for the countries on Germany’'s eastern borders and with Germany’s entry into the League of Nations™ will prove unsatisfactory, and that at best the notes will only lead to continuation of the negotia- tions. The reply is expected to be pre-| sented to Foreign Minister Briand| late this afternoon. Its text will probably not be made public for several days. because the French government wishes first to communicate with the other allied powers regarding it.
