PICKARD YOU can't net away from the Ten nessee evolution case, it you read the daily | tapers or listen in on the I radio. Although Dayton is disappoint ed in llie numher of visitors attract ed by tlie trial, there are swarms of reporters and news photographers there, all exceedingly busy, Oonslder j able progress was made in the first week of t lie ease. The defense made I another attempt to stop the trial by j asking .Judge Kaulston to quash the , indictment on the ground that the i anti-evolution law is unconstitutional, in denying the motion the judge ruled that the law does not violate the right of free worship or free speech, and does not violate section 1 ot the four teenth amendment to the federal Con* ! stltution which provides that no man shall be deprived of his life, liberty i or property except by due process of law, and that all men shall enjoy equal rights under the law. on every point brought up by it the defense was overruled. Though defeated in this matter, the motion to (piasli gave Clarence Darrow his tirst good chance for oratory ami argument, and It also laid the. ground f?>r currying the case on up to the Su preme court. The Chicago agnostic made a stirring speech in which he asserted that unless constitutional guarantees were upheld in this case, unless the anti-evolution law were killed, the liberties of ehurch ami pres* and school would he taken away. lie described the theory of evolution as a wonderful conception of the processes of life in which was a Cod who did not stop when he made the first man out of dtist, but works on forever and for ever. Hi' declared the fundamentalists were leading America back to the Six teenth century of ignorance and bigot ry and denounced Bryan :is "the man responsible for this foolish, mischiev ous and wicked act." There were many sharp exchanges between counsel, but during the lirst ? days Mr. Bryan generally kept his sea?. hiding his time. In another matter tl?e defense met early defeat. Judge Raul ston started in by having the day's proceedings opened with prayer. To this Darrow and Malone made formal object ion, arguing that the case was one in which the state claimed there was a conflict between, science and re ligion ami that prayers might unduly influence the Jury. The Judge ruled against them, saying this was a mat ter wholly within the discretion of the j court. Attorney Hays for the defense ; asked that other ministers than the fundamentalists of Dayton be selected j to deliver the prayers, and on Wednes I day the invocation was by Rev. Dr. Charles F ram-is Potter of New York, j Universalis!, who was expected to be 1 a witness for the defense later on. The ' Jury was sworn in and Attorney Cien | oral Stewart briefly slated the case | of the prosecution. .Mr. Malone fol i lowed with a statement of the de , fense's case in the course of which he i said : I "While the defense thinks there is ;n cotifl i ? t between evolution and tlie ' Old Testament we believe there is no conflict between evolution and Christi ? anity. There may he a conflict lie i iween evolution and the peculiar ideas of Christianity such as are held by 1 Mr. Bryan, the exangellst leader of the ! prosecution; but we deny Hint the j evangelical leader of tlie prosecution : an authorized spokesman for the ' Christians of the United States. The ? defense maintains thai there is a clear ' distinction between (lod, the church. the Bible. Christianity, and Mr. Bryan. "We shall prove our philosophy and principles from the lips of witnesses j who are a part of the prosecution.** i The court here sustained objections i of the state to the mention of Bryan by name, whereupon Malone. calling that gentleman "the evangelical spokesman of the proeeention." quoted from an article w rill en i?y Bryan -0 years ago on Jefferson's ideas of religious free I Expect Leipzig Fair Will Set New Record Leipzig, Germany. ? The Leipzig fair to be beld from August .'50 to Septem ber !? promises to surpass any previous Leipzig expedition. It is expected the attendance will be nearly double that of the spring fair, at which there were more than 180,000 business men from all parts of the world, w.ih 14,000 exhibitors from 18 countries. <lom. In this article Bryan said that religion docs not need the support of government to overcome error and that any attempt to compel people to accept a religions doctrine by act of law does; not make Christians, hut hypocrites. Malone added: "We of the defense ap i peal from his (Bryan's) fundamentalist views of today to his philosophical views of yesterday, when he was a modernist, from our point of view." Seven witnesses for I he state were called to the stand, some of them being pupils of Scopes. They testified that Scopes taught the theory of evolution, and this heing all the stale desired to sh?W, it rested its case. The defense introduced t lie first of its witnesses, l>r. Maynard M. Metcalf, former pro fessor of zoology in Oberlin college, | Ohio. Attorneys for the prosecution objected to the competency of scien tific testimony in the case and, the jury heing excluded, the Judge had Doctor .Metcalf answer the questions the de fense desired to ask concerning the nature of the theory of evolution. He outlined the fundamental proofs of evo lution, and concluded: "The series of proofs are so convincing that any in formed ni:in cannot doubt the proba bility <?f man's evolution." Next day the attorneys began their arguments for and against t lie admis sion of expert testimony by scientists and others. William J. Bryan, .Jr.. opened' f ? ?r the prosecution. Bryan senior followed his son with an impassioned plea for revealed re ligion, for t lie Bible's account of crea tion and for salvation. He lambasted the scientists, most of whom he said did not believe in Cod. and made scath ing allusions to Harrow with partic ular reference to the Loeb-Leopold case. Then came Dudley Field Malone with aq eloquent presentation of the case for science and' a demand for freedom to search for the truth. He hud no words derogatory of the Bible or of religion, and he won fully as much applause as did Mr. Bryan. CIVIL war has really broken out ngaln in China, and this may pre vent the calling of a conference to re vise the treaties. Anyhow. France and Japan seem disposed to stand by Creat Britain in her objection to any such revision at this time, l'resident Cool blge's position, made public after a conference with Secretary Kellogg and reiterated by Minister MacMurray on bis arrival in Peking, is that the for eign powers and China must scrupu lously observe the Washington confer ence pacts and ihnt China must take I adequate measures for the protection of foreigners. The President also has | more than intimated that it would be wise to hold soon an international con ference to revise China's unequal trea ties. Although it was expected t lie civil war would first appear in the provinces of fhekiang and Iviangsu. where Chang Tso-lln was ? sending troops to combat the military governor. Sun Chuang-fang, it was in Szechuan pro\ ince that hostilities broke out. Yang Sen, the government general, at tacked rival commanders near ChunV king. Negotiations for the settlement of the Shanghai controversy arising from the riots and killing of students seem doomed to failure because the foreign ers t hemselves are quarreling. Peking refuses to treat with* Creat Britain alone in the matter. The Chinese charge that the foreigners In Shanghai have attempted to set up an independ ent state which is not responsible to any foreign government. The Latin and Scandinavian settlements assert that the Shanghai settlement Is re sponsible to the powers, who have the right to remove municipal officers, but the British, Americans and Japanese oppose this view. Municipal officials claim that neither the powers nor the Chinese have any right to Interfere In the Shanghai settlement. INC VICTOR KMMANUEL 0f Italy, according to an announce ment by the secretary of the Fascist party, has signed a general amnesty order, effective August C. which pre sumably will set free, among many others, the six Fascist leaders who are accused of the murder of Deputy Mat teottl. This news aroused the oppo sition parties to such an extent that sensational measures were planned to influence tbe king not to include those men in the amnesty. A document was fair will he the huge underground ex hibition hall, generally considered a k technical world's wonder.

In order to furnish the necessary space for the erection of a number of prepared for presentation to the king asserting that a Fascist terrorist or ganization similar to the Russian cheka exists In Italy with the approval of Premier Mussolini to get rid of the opposition leaders. The London Telegraph says there is in existence an energetic international campaign to overthrow Mussolini and the Fascist regime and that "occult forces, from Wall street to Vienna and from Milan to Moscow, are working to this end." They are said to have adopted the method of "boring from within" and tJo be well supplied with funds. DEFIANTLY refusing to resign at the demands of his political ene mies, Foreign Minister Stresemann of Germany will stand or fall on the success of his security pact negotia tions with Great Rritain and France, and he has drafted his reply to the French note, though its contents have not been made public. It is said Stresemann thinks his plan will en able Germany to free itself from the Rapallo treaty and Russia and would go far toward pre venting a war be tween the western powers and Russia fought on German soil.
