EVOLUTION DEBATE
AT STATE COLLEGE
THIS AFTERNOOH
Dr. Bailey and Professor
Metcalf to Discuss
Query Before a Large
. Crowd.
(Br Associated Press.)
Raleigh, May 17- The debate
between Dr. W. B. Bailey, pastor
of the First Baptist church of Min
neapolis, and Prof. Z- P. Metcalf,
representing the faculty of the
State College, on the query, "Re
solved, That evolution is demon
strated fact," will be held in the
assembly hall of the college here
at 4 p. m. today. The hall will
seat 1,600 people apd Inquiries for
reservations indicate that it wil. be
filled to overflowing.
The controversy between the
preacher, who is conducting serv
ices at a local Baptist church, and
members of the science faculty of
the State College started when the
preacher stated in a public address
that there was no foundation in
fact for the theory of evolution
and that no man could believe In
evolution and be Christian. Mem
bers of the faculty answered this
in the newsppaers and provoked a
challenge from the preacher for a
debate on the subject. The science
faculty immediately accepted the
challenge and sugeeted the form of
query.
Back of the local controversy is
a bigger fight in the Southern
Baptist denomination over the
teaching of - evolution in the
church schools. North Carolina
denominational publications have
been carrying on a vigorous fight
against Dr. William Lewis Potest,
president of Wake Forest College,
because be taught the .theory of
evolution in a class in theology.
Dr. Metcalf, of the college fac
ulty, announced that he would con
fine his discussion purely to the
scientific side of the question, de
claring that evolution was a scien
tific and not a religious matter.
Upholds Evolution Theory.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 17. Dr.
Cleveland Boyd McAfee, against
whom friends of William J. Bryan
are expected to advance Mr. Bry
an's candidacy as moderator of the
general assembly of the Presby
terian churr'j in the United States,
today upheld the theory of evolu
tion "from a theological viewpoint,
because, our religion is broad
enough to encompass all the. dis
coveries of science."
Mr. -McAfee was speaking at a
conference of presidents of 67
Presbyterian universities and col
leges held today in advance of the
assembly, which opens tomorrow.
- Dr. McAfee declared that con
ventional college training through
the substitution of sciences for
classics aims at economy and ef
ficiency rather than the develop
ment of personal character.
In connection with the election
of moderator tomorrow it. was
learned today that the question of
-Bryan's eligibility will come up as
he will be present as alternate
from Florida and not as a commis
sioner . '
TO OPEN UP ANOTHER
RESIDENTIAL SECTION
Another new residential street
and section is to be opened up here,
if present intentions of property
owners along the proposed new
street are carried out and it is be
lieved they will be and very soon
at that The new street would be
a western extension of Henderson
street, beginning at the intersec
tion of Fulton and Henderson and
connect with Mocksville avenue at
some point near the Mahaley place.
It is said the majority of prop
erty owners on the proposed street
have signified a willingness to pave
this street under the 60-50 basis
adopted at the last meeting of the
board of aldermen, this being that
the owner of property on each side
bear half of the expense, thus re
lieving the city of any street cost
Already a number of transfers of

Raleigh, May 17. It is expected

his work in the diocese' of North
Carolina and to eventually become
bishop of the diocese when Bishop
Cheshire shall have finished his
work will be a special order for

in session at the Church of the
Good Shepherd here.
The report of the special com
mittee appointed Tuesday to con
sider the advisability of electing a
coadjutor and ways and means of
financing his work was presented
by Rev. S. S. Boat, of Durham, and
was taken up at the opening cf the
morning session. The committee
recommended the election of a
bishop coadjutor before adjourn

mended that the expenses be met
by increasing from 10 to 15 per
cent the current expenses for epis
copal and contingent fund.

HUKFJ) LACY
GOES NORTH WITH
HIGHWAY BONDS
Six Million Sold Last
April to Be Signed and
Delivered ; School Loans
a
Are Made to Counties.
(By 0, J. Coffin)
Raleigh, May 17 The six
millions of Stat highway bonds
which North Carolina sold on the
. . m . ... . t . T
ztn or Apru me iiniens na
tional Bank of Raleigh, the Wa
chovia Bank and Trust Company
of Winston-Salem and New York
associates are to be taken to New
York today by Treasurer Ben Lacy
and there signed and delivered to
the "associates." Governor Mor
rison will join Treasurer Lacy in
New York, and soon the millions
will be on their way into the State
Treasury.
Nothing as yet has been heard
as to whether the bidders who have
sixty-day option on nine millions
more of these 4 1-2 per cent bonds
at the same price, 100.1, will pur
chase the remainder of the, issue,
but there is enough money on hand
now, so there is no worrying.
The State Department of Edu
cation has loaned a million dollar!
of the five-million dollar building
fund to 60 of the North Carolina
counties for use in building school
houses. This first loan is rather
in the nature of a refund to the
counties which went ahead with
their construction " program and
borrowed from local banks against
the money to be advanced by the
state.
It was intended and thought
that the money would be available
January 1, but when the bonds
were to be sold a question arose
as to their validity which went to
the Supreme Court for decision.
The court declared the bonds valid
and in April $1,000,000 of them
found purchasers. - -
Almost exclusively these "first
loans are for the purpose of build
ing high schools in rural commu
nities. Only $40,000 of the amount
goes to a city school and this, the
high school at Wilmington, is a
school for the entire county.
The counties and the amount of
their loans are as follows: Alle
ghany, $20,000; Anson, $14,000;
Ashe, $2,000; Avery, $19,000;
Beaufort, $27,600; Bertie, $20 000;

KOHLOSS BRANDS
PRESS REPORTS AS
RUM PROPAGANDA
Director, Upon . Return
From Wilmington, Say
No Warehouse Whiskey
Was Stolen. j;
Characterising recent press re
porta that over 80 cases of whisky
had been stolen from federal stor
ing Quarters in Wilmington as ab
solutely falsa and 'rum propagan
da," Prohibition Director K. A.
Kohloss, who returned this morn
insr from Wilmington where he has
been working on the case of Cap
tain Coleman, who was in charge
of the rum ship, the Message of
Peace, declared that it was an im
possibility for any whisky to be
taken from the warehouse in which
the stuff was stored.
Mr. Kohloss. with his attorney
A. H. Price, has been in Wilming
ton the past several days in Fed
eral court . Questions as to the de
termination of certain issues in
volved in the Coleman case were
raised. The jury, it will be re
called, decided , only one issue,
that Coleman was guilty of a vio
lation of the national prohibition
act and was accordingly sentenced
to six months in laiL The jury
failed to answer the question as to
what should be done with the car
go. Other side issues are pend
ing. It is expected that the charge
of conspirary, which was prefer
red against-Coleman at first, will
be pressed again.
The Federal judge yesterday
agreed, to defer decision in the
pending : issues , until the other
questions can be decided by a Jury,
Prohibition Director Kohlosti
branded aU reports to the effect
that whisky had been stolen from
the federal warehouse in Wilming
ton, as 'undiluted propaganda of
rum runners.' He said that three
men were guarding the room in
which the whisky is stored, day
and night each man working an
eight hour run and sleeping on a
couch directly in front of the door
of the room where the illinritimate
liquid is stored. In addition to
this, he stated, three heavy locks
are placed on the door of the room.
' Mr. Kohloss said if any of the
captured whisky had gone from
the warehouse, it had evaporated.

Big Sum of Money;
Father Died in Hunt
(Br Alexander Herman)
New York, Ma 17. A fortune
estimated at $200,000 goes beg

keeps her 12-year-old son in hid-
Vill her mother love conquer her
antipathy for the boy's father and
everything "pertaining to him?
Two New York lawyers are
wondering." They ara the execu
tors of the will of Ool. Frederick J.
Barrett fsmous surgeon, whose
country-wide search for his di
vorced wife and kidnapped son
ended tragically with his death re
cently. "He was hard-headed," says An
drew A. Fraser, an old friend, "a
real 'he-man."
But a frail woman beat himl
She kept him from winning back
their boy; and the father died
heart-broken.
War Breaks Up Horn
Dr. Barrett and his family lived
happily until the beginning of the
war. The physician enlisted and
was detailed to the base hospital
at Augusta, Ga.
Mrs. Barrett went with him. But
she found difficulty adjusting her
self to the new conditions. In
New York she had been living in
luxury; in the South she bad to
live on the meatrer salary of an
army officer. v The doctors new
work took him away from his fsnr-
fly for the first time in his life.
His wife began making friends of
her own.
Dr. Barrett sued for divorce,
then dropped the action. "He loved
his son too dearly," says a friend,
"to disrupt the family permanent
ly." "The boy was sent to a New
England school. He led in ath
letics. His father was very happy
for a while.
. "But conditions at home did not
change. A new action for divorce
was started and carried to a fin
ish. Then began a fight for pos
session of the boy. The father was
awarded his custody."
Lad is Kidnapped
While the youngster was home
for the Easter vacation in 1020, he
was kidnapped on Broadway. Af
ter a long time detectives reported
they had located him in Hollywood
with his mother.
Before his father could get him,
the lad was spirited to Arizona.
Another hunt. Once more the boy
was found and was with his father
for Christmas.
Dr. Barrett became ill. He had
to go South for his health. So he
took his son to Asheville, N. C.
But Mrs. Barrett loved the boy too
well to give him up.
A short time later, the boy was
seized on a street in Asheville and
ruahi d awav in an automobile.
In the midst of his new search
the father died bequeathing his
estate of $20,000 to the youngster.
The question is, will his mother let
him claim it?
