Tenn., August §, By the Assoc KNOXVILL! 2400 H.P. E ngine, Mightiest Ever Built, Will Be Placed in Barling Bomber By the Associated Prese DAYTON, Ohlo, August 8.—The Dayton News says that an airplane motor, capable of furnishing power for the Barling bomber, the world's largest alrplane, is beinz bullt for McCook Field. Tt will be the most poweriul gasoline engine ever con- structed. Officlal Government bulletins show that the contract to build the motor was let recently to an Indlanapolis englneering firm. The motor, accord- ing to the specifications, is to be 2.400 horsepower, “X' type with four banks of cylinders. - - How huge-and powerfyl the pro- posed motor will be is- shown. by comparison. The Liberty motor, re- puted as among the most powerful, is ‘rated at 400 horsepower. The Barling bomber is equipped with six Liberty.motors. Details of the motor | have been guarded with secrecy by McCook Fisld officials. Comparing It with Liberty motors, the gasoline consumption of the.new power plant would be approximately 120 gallons an hour. Tennessee’s anti-evolution statute was directly attacked.in a bill filed yester- in United States District Court for James Robert Wiison, a resident of day Rhea County, on the grounds that the law is in violation of the first section of the fourteenth amendment of the | Constitution of the United States. | Gov. Peay, State Attorney General | rank N. Thompson and A. T. Ste art. attorney general for ihe eight-| eenth judicial circuit, are named a the defendants the bill, which, ac- cording to allegations, is a civil cause arising in equity more than $3,000, est and cos The bill, filing of which has been expected for several days, as a part of the general attack against anti-| evolution laws, was signed by John R. Neal, Clarence Darrow of Chicago, Bainbridge Colby of New York and Frank B. McElwe of Rockwood, Tenn., as solicitors for the complainant. Position Sharply Changed. The bill departs entirely from the position taken by the aftorneys for John T. Scopes in the Dayton trial in | that it flatly declares that the story | of the creation as taught in the Bibie | is contradicted by the theory of evo- lution. The petitioner. Wilson, who avers that he is the owner of $50,000 worth and involving exclusive of inter of real estate, and is the head of a | family consisting of his wife and 5| children, from 6 to 18 vears of age, | also states that he does not believe | that the theory of the creation as given in the Bible is true, and that he objects to it being taught to his chil- dren. This part of the peti “Your petitioner further avers that | he is not a bellever in the story of the creation of man as given in the Bible and does not accept sald story | as a true story of creation, but he is! @ believer in the sclentific’ theory of | creation popularly known as theory of evolution. That he does not desire | 10 have his children taught the story | of creation of man as given in thef Bible, and if said statute is inforced | he and all other citizens of the State of Tennessee. who believe in the theory of evolution rather than in the theory of the creation of man. as| given in the Bible, will be compelled fo withdraw their children from the public schools of said State, and such children will be deprived of the oppor- | tunity to obtaln an education to the great and irreparable damage of your petitioner and other citizens of the State of Tennessee In the same situa- tion and thereby your petitioner will be deprived of his liberty and property without due process of law and will | be denied the equal protection of the law.” The bill was filed by Dr. John R.| Neal, senior counsel in the Scopes trial ‘at Dayton. The petition prays for an injunction, temporarily re- straining the State officers from in- forcing the evolution law and for a final decree and judgment declaring the statute void and unconstitutional, and as such must be heard by two district judges and a judge of the| United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals or Justice of the Supreme Court. Dr. Neal had an fmmediate conference with Judge Xen Hicks at Chambers. After a short discussion with Judge Hicks, Dr. Neal left the offices appar- ently satisfied. He stated that the | application by the -petitioner for a| certificate to bring the visiting Sudges | to East Tennessee district would be | filed later at a date convenlent to| Judge Hicks ! The bill also has no connection with the one filed Wednesday at Chattanooga on behalf of young Scopes. “That petition was merely a copy of | the one on behalf of Scopes’ refused by Judge Gore at Cookville. While both the bills pending in the district court may be heard together at Knox- ville or some other place in the di: trict, they have no connection,” Dr. Neal stated. “The bill filed today on behalf of Mr. Wilson is a different cause altogether,” the attorney continued, | “and I consider- it a more important one in the fight against anti-evolution law than even the Scopes case at Dayton. Bill Entirely Different. ““The additional bill filed at Knox- ville is framed in entirely different language from the one filed at Chat- tanooge and proceeds from an entirely | different legal angle. It has been| most carefully prepared and will be carried directly to the Supreme Court of the United States, in event the trial judges do not declare the anti- evolution law unconstitutional.” Wilson, the petitioner, stated that he is a member in good- standing of a Southern Methodist church. “I am not seeking any publicity in this matter,” Mr. Wilson stated today, “but I do insist that I am entitled to have my children receive a modern education in the public schools of Tennessee. The fact that I reject the story of the creation as taught in the Bible has nothing to do with my full Cupid Cuts Ku Klux Membership; Two Visitors Made One Arraved in full regalia of the Kian, harles E: Harris, 40, 2 contractor of Lusitea,. No Y., und Miss Mildred L. House, 23, of the same town, visited Col. W. A. Kroll, the license clerk, und secured a permit to be married. Miss House is also a member of fthe Klan and wore her robe and cap. They were accompanied to the courihouse by Carson G. Sanders and Dorothy L. Lueas, both o/ I the latter being a halfsister of the bride-to-be. Both of the \witnesses were attired in the Kilan regalia. It was the first Klan couple to appear for & license. Accompanied by the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Horace J. Lucas and some friends, the bridal party left Tthaca last Thursday in twoe motor cars stopping at Harrisburg and Get- tysburg on thelr way to Washington. They expected to begin the return trip Sunday evening or Monday morning. The couple had hoped to have a min- ister from Ithaca perform the cere- mony, but he d not been authorized to marry in Washington and a local clergyman had to be selected. The couple then decided on Rev. Carroll Maddox of First Methodist Protestant Church and went to his home, at 518 :;‘lnurth street southeast, for the wed- ng. KLAN REQUEST DENIED. Order Wanted Special “Days” at Philadelphia Exposition. PHILADELPHIA, August § (@).— A request from the Ku Klux Klan to set aside three days during the sesqui- nnial exposition here next year as “Klan days” was refused by the executive committee of the exposition. In declining to recognize the Klan as an order at the independence cel- ebration, Ernest T. Trigg, vice pres dent of the exposition, wrote Paul M. Winter, local field representative of the Klan: “It would be neither good bustne: nor good policy to authorize special days which for any reason, good or bad, might lead to misunderstanding or prejudice, and accordingly, al- though the necessity is regretted, vour request cannot be allowed.” Tipperary Town Starving.

The Navy has Been helping train Coast Guard cadets to battle the rum fleet. ‘But the Coast Guard and Navy got in a mix-up over payment of the cadets’ expenses. These two new features came to light today in a decision of Acting Controller General Ginn, who held that the Coast Guard should train its own cadets. He said transfer of $5,000 from the Coast Guard to Navy funds for training the new rum warrors during the first quarter of 1925 was *not authorized Several Coast Guard recruits are now in training at the Hampton Roads naval training statlon. Coast Guard officlals indicated today they will appeal to Controller General McCarl for a reconsideration of his dectston. It is sald to mean much to the Government in the battle against the rum smugglers. But if the worst comes to the worst, it 18 presumed the Navy will have to stand the ex- penses of training the Coast Guard men, and the Coast Guard will have to fall back on what facilities it has at its New London academy, now overcrowded. Says Guard Must Do Training. “The duty appears to devolve upon the United States Coast Guard service to train its own personnel,” said the decision. The law, according to the decision, ‘does not contemplate the transfer of moneys from one department to an- other ‘operating as increasing the ap- propriations of a recipient department by an amount estimated as necessary to cover the cost of anticipated ex- penditure in connection with the hap- pening of contingencies which may in- volve expenses not contemplatedswhen |appropriation estimates were made.” The decision was sent to the Secre- tary of the Treasury and holds up the transfer of appropriation warrant No. 8, which would have switched the $5,000.

A plan to make all busy intersec- tions safe for pedestrians by leaving an interval of time between the changing of the signal to enable those who are in the middle of the street to get across will be inaugurated Tuesday morning at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue. This was announced today by Act- ing Traffic Director I. C. Moller fol- lowing a conference with Inspector E. W. Brown, at which the desirability of bringing about more systematic regulation of both vehicular and pedestrian travel at downtown corners was thoroughly discussed. Plan Advocated by Star. The scheme which the traffic officials | finally decided to try out is substan- tially the same as was advocated by The Star through its columns and in moving plctures months ago, of hav- ing the traffic officers leave Intervals between signals for traffic from one direction to clear the Intersectlon be- fore releasing the flow of vehicles and walkers from the other direction. Col. Moller said that if the plan is successful at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue it will be put into effect throughout the city where traffic is regulated by policemen. Realizing that Pennsylvania avenue is too wide to enable pedestrians to get from one curb to the other with- out pause, safety zones will be painted in the middle of the street on each side and adjacent to the car tracks. When the system goes into effect Tuesday, there will be an officer at each of the four corners. in addition to the man at the semaphore. Here 18 Col. Moller's explanation of how the plan will work: Idea Is Explained. “When traffic and pedestrians are moving north and south on Four- teenth street and the officer is ready to change the direction, he will blow one long blast on his whistle. This will mean that no more vehicies will start across and no more pedestrians shall step off the curb. Vehicles in the middle of the intersection will contiue across as rapidly as pos ble and pedestrians who have started across will pause in the nearest safety zone at the car track. If the pedes- trian has passed the center safety zones, he will continue to the oppo- site curb, ““When the interesction is thus cleared the officer will give two blasts on the whistle, which will be the siz nal for trafic and pedestrians to start across east and west on Pennsylvania ® Te. The officer may turn the semaphore after the first blast on the whistle, but trafic in the opposite direction must not move until the two blasts are given.” Col. Moller said the four officers at the curb lines will be there to see that pedestrians do not start ecross at the wrong time. While pedestrians are crossing north and south the officer will be halting thoughtless pedestrians who might start across east and west into the path of a stream of veh When the direction changes they w halt the pedestrians from going north and south. Asks for Co-operation. In announcing the try-out, Col. Mol- ler made an urgent appeal to all who walk to enter into the plan in a spirit of co-operation. ™ “This is to be a sincere effort to make the crossings safer for pedes- trians, but it can only be accomplished if the pedestrians do their share by moving with the traffic. We will not keep the officers at the curb perma- nently, but they will be stationed there until the city becomes thoroughly f: miliar with the operation of the whi: tle arrangement.” v { At present traffic officers blow their whistles as they are about to turn the semaphore, but there is no sy: tematic_interval during which pede: trians half-way across may get to safety. More than six months.ago The Star made observations at various down- | town intersections which showed the necessity for a sufficient interval of time between the blowing of the whistle-and the changing of the sign to enable Both vehicles and pedestri- ans in the middle of the intersection to complete the journey before the releasing of traffic in the opposite di- rection.

COLE, AUTO MAKER, DIES OF HEART ATTACK President of Company Bearing His/| Name Rose From Head of Small Buggy Factory. | By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August §.— Joseph J. Cole, president and man- ager of the Cole Motor Co., died at a hotel here last night from acute dilation of the heart. Although ill for more than 2 years, Mr. Cole maintained complete charge of the plant which he watched grow from a small buggy factory to one of the largest and most modern auto- mobile plants in Indiana. Only Thursday did he become serfously ill, &nd even then physiclans did not| think his illness would be fatal. Mr. Cole, who was born in Con-| nersville, Ind., in 1869, was educated in the common schools of that city and later took a business college course at Richmond. Shortly after leaving school in that city he came here and was employed as a clerk in the Parry Buggy Co., now the Martin Parry Body Corporation. Later he became assoclated with the Moon Bros. in the manufacture of buggies, in St. Louis. In 1904 Mr. Cole resigned his posi- tion at the St. Louls Co. and returned to Indfanapolis, where he organized the Cole Buggy Co., which, with the advent of the automobile, became the Cole Motor Co.
