Mookey Am Cdmwi
Baltimore, Md.. Jon* t—A broad
plan of defense for Proinm John
T. Scopes, awaiting trial in Tiaamn
for teaching evolution in the public
high school in violation of tka law,
waa outlined here today at a confer
ence of defence counsel and distin
guished scientist* of Johna Hopkins
university.
J. W. Gaines, of the galaxy of legal
lights who will defend Scopes, an
nounced their case would largely cen
ter about the "dangerous" effect the
anti-evolution law would have on the
teaching of medicine.
Gaines went into conference im
mediately after arriving, securing all
of the latest data on the evolution
theory in an effort to round out what
it is claimed will be "iraodad" proof
that man and monkeys are first cou
sins.
"Man and the apes are related.
They are first cousins," said Dr.
Adolph Schults. associate professor
of physical anthropology, following
the conference.
"Man and the apes came from the
same ancestors, only man went one
way and the apes another. With the
development of man's brain came the
shortening of his tail which disap
peared entirely as evolution pro
grmirt."
Dr. Schultx flatly asaerted science'
•u solidly arrayed behind Prof.
Scope* hi the coming court battle.
"Science i* baaed on facts. We
prow oar conclusions before present
ing then to the public at aehoola and
college* and the belief is growing
that the time has arrived for a defin
ite stand against the ware of legis
lation which substitutes popular pre
judices for scientific facta." he Mid.

New York, Jane Ellis Island
offldtb yesterday nteiM that
mot* than 830,000 aliens lawfully en
tered the country daring the first
nine months' operation of the Selec
tive Immigration Law, although only
104,000 were admitted under quota
provisions.
The large number of exemptions
allowed under the Johnson law caus
ed the excess immigration, officials
explained. At least 200.000 other
■liens are believed to have been
■muggled into the country.
With twenty-three days before the
end of the fiscal year and with many
quotas nearly filled, immigration in
spectors expect a rush at aliens this
week. The Italian liner Cente Roe
»«, the Columbus of the North Ger
man Lloyd and the Cwiarder Aqui
tania, which docked Saturday, brought
1,000 aliens, most of whom had been
examined by nightfall. Five hund
red others are detained on Ellis Is
land pending further examination
and appeal.
