STATE MOVES TO BAR SCOPES’ EXPERTS
MRS ARGUE
ADMISSIBILITY
OFEVENCE
Seven Scholars Awaiting
Result of Battle on
Testimony.
By the AMOclated Free*.
DAYTON Tenu. July 16.—The
state of Tennessee made a formal mo-
tion at the trial of John T. Scopes
here this morning to exclude testi-
mony of scientists from the trial of
the case. The defense was prepared
to put up a determined fight to get
testimony into the record from quali-
fied experts on the subject of evolution
and its relation to the Bible.
William Jennings Bryan Jr. open-
ed the argument for the state. He
was followed by Arthur G. Hays for
the defense with Attorney General
Stewart closing the statement.
Seven scientific scholars from afar
awaited the resulta of the battle.
As his witnesses. Attorney General
Stewart called to the stand Walter
White superintendent of Rhea coun-
ty schools and designated as official
prosecutor in the ease; two former
pupils of Mr. Scopes Harry Shelton
and Howard Morgan and F. E. Rob-
inson ehairman of the county school
board.
The youths admitted they had never
received to their knowledge any in-
jury from the instructions.

TVAYTON July 16.—The Bryan
Power and Light company con-
tinues to illuminate Dayton with the
pitiless white light of Hokum. .
In the words of Clarence Darrow
"Better men than we have been mon-
keys. ”
Dudley Fees Malone went on an
oratorial rampage when somebody
suggested that Dud carried the pic-
ture of a chimpanzee in back of his
watch.
The three wise monkeys of Day-
ton see no logic speak no logic
and hear no logic.
Darrow wired to Bull Montana
"Hurry to Dayton. We are losing
the case.”
Darwin only had a theory. Bryau
is trying bard to make it a fact.
Robinson's drug store now adver-
tises a Tennessee Sunday for thirsty
newspaper men. It’s worse than a
Hoboken Tuesday.
A mountaineer was about to shoot
a gorilla out of a tree when a movie
fan discovered that the ape was
Lon Chaney.
Darrow stands strong with the bill
billies. One moonshine chemist chin-
ned himself on his whiskers and said
“Well we might have come from
MRS. ETHEL BAYNES
IS GRANTED DECREE
By the AMOctated Presa.
NEW YORK July 16.—Mrs. Ethel
Jackson Baynes originator of title
role in the “Merry Widow” in the
United States was granted an inter-
locutory decree of divorce from
George McLeod Baynes.
The decree was signed by Supreme
Court Justice Cropsy of Brooklyn on
the report of a referee which recom-
mended absolute divorce.

monkeys but danged if we're goiu’
back.”
Dayton has milked the cow of pub-
licity dry. With Bryan getting the
cream as usual.
Darrow unloaded a bag of talk
against the opening the trial with
a prayer. The senior member of
the firm of Talk and Talk insists
that the only thing that should be
opened with prayer is an egg.
All the lawyers were good friends
last Friday. Now they're lawyer*
again.
Bryan refused a gift of a beauti-
ful ivory Japanese back scratcher. He
is still a fundamentalist.
Tennessee mountain detectives are
watching the town restaurant. Every-
body eating with his fork is arrested
on suspicion of being a Modernist.
If Bryan wins this trial every
Tennessee child will have to break
his slate and educate himself on the
sponge.
The dunce cap will be the crown
of office and the slapstick will be
the sceptre of authority.
Young Scopes looks as worried as
a rabbit in the open season. It didn't
help him any when Darrow patted
him on the shoulder and said “It's
all right young man. I have never
had a client hung yet.”
And he will keep his record clean.
This jury will never hang a man by
his tail.
