A(Continued from Page One) with every one of the defense's attacks on the evolution law’s constitutionality. Before commencing to real the decision he required the court room to maintain perfect silence and order. The judge then successively overruled contentions of the defense that the law was unconstitutional because the legislature was required to cherish education, that it violates the ! right of free worship freedom of speech, constitutional rules of legislative procedure, guaranteec against seizure of property without due proI cess of law. and all the other charges by which the defense assailed the act on the basis of the Tennessee constitution. j "I fail to see how this act in any wise interferes or in the least restrains any person from worshipping God in the manner the best pleases I him.” said the judge. ' "It gives no preference to any pari tit ular religion or mode of worship. Our public schools are not maintained as places to worship, but, on the 'contrary, were designed,, instituted, and maintained for the purpose of mental aud moral development and discipline. "I cannot conceive now the teachers’ rights under this provision of the constitution would be violated by the act in issue,. Thera is no law in the state of Tennessee that undertakes to compel this defendant, or an) other citizen, to accept employment in tlit public schools. The relation between the teacher and his employer are purely contractural and if his conscience constrains him to teach the evolution theory, he can find opportunities elsewhere." By William J. Losh, (U. P.. Staff Correspondent) Dayton. Tenn., July 15. — (United Press.) —With bitterness on both sides , increasing, the Scopes trial was due I to be the scene of the greatest strug[gly yet staged in the old courthouse, when the anticipated dispute over | admissability of expert, testimony is , launched. I This was expected to follow au announcement by Judge Raulston ot his decision ou a motion by the defense to quash the indictment against John IT. Scopes. No one has believed from j the outset that the judge would do other than dismiss the motion and call for. the trial to proceed. I This trial, .which started as a friendly test case in a carnival atmosphere, has reached the stage of, being as scrappy an affair as auy criminal ease | ever tried with both sides contesting

for every point. I Tempers are torn and tattered. ai-| ready counsel# have Indulged in better I words to each other, reaching a peak late yesterday when Attorney Gen era! Stewart angrily shouted at Ar-1 thur Garfield Hays, one of the defense k cOttMcl. to "keep our mouths shut. The tacctics of the defense are to press every opportunity. They have made an Issue of the daily prayer in the court, even though some of the defense staff are trank to admit that it Is costing their side many friends. They have introduced „ petition on behalf of visiting nonfundamentalist clergymen asking that thev be given equal representation with fundamentalist preachers tn ottering prayer. If the court grants this, it Is the intention ot defense counsel however, to object to it as they did to the other prayers. The ruling by Judge Raulston dismissing the motion to quash was ex’pected to steady the proceedings, but by no means make a peaceful affair of it. Immediately after the ruling defense counsel intended to precipitate the long awaited fight over admissability of evidence, despite the prosecution's announced determination to resist the argument until later in the trial. if Judge Raulston rules tbaat the argument must wait, Attorney General Stewart and Dudley Field Malone will make opening statements for their side as to what they expect to prove The jur>, which hus been whittling sticks in the courtyard for three days now. will at last be given a chance to sit in the trial. It will be sworn and Scopes, the defendant, will plead not guilty. The formalities completed, the prosecution will put its witnesses on the stand. Attorney General Stewart told the United Press today that it would take less than half a day to complete the prosecution's case. The defense will then attempt to put a scientific witness on the stand and the battle over evidence, if not previously decided, will be fought at this point. , A defeat on this point by the defense means, according to Stewart, that the trial will be over Saturday. Clarence Darrow will swing into action with his closing argument and William Jennings Bryan, whom the natives have waited vainly to hear so far. will sum up for the other side. judge Raulston would have handed down his decision on the motion to quash yesterday, except for the fact that one news agency sent out a news dispatch reporting that it had learned the judge had held the law and the indictment valid. When informed that certain newspapers were on streets with this dispatch. Judge Raulston indignantly deferred his decision until today, threatening the representative of the agency with proceedings of contempt of court and appointed a committee to ascertain for him whether the dispatch was based on information properly or improperly obtained or whether it was just a guess. Judge Raulston freely conceded that the agency had "the right to guess," but he said, "it was a very serious matter it they had improperly obtained their alledgcd information with which he would have to deal "as the law directs.”

COAL SITUATION LOOKS BRIGHTER I Optimistic Reports Come From Committee Rooms At Peace Conference ■ Atlantic City, N. J., July 15. — (United Press.) —The outlook for a settlement which would avert a general anthracite coal strike this fall was decidedly brighter today. Optimistic reports came from the committee room where operators and miners are in executive session. Where a few days ago it seemed that the views of the opposing groups were irreconcilable, virtual agreement has been reached upon one of the demands presented by the workers. The operators are understood to have listened favorably to a delnand that contract laborers be paid directly and entirely by contract miners rather than partly by contract miners and partly by companies. As this did not seem likely to increase the cost of operations, the owners' representatives raised little objection. A friendly spirit was said to exist. Today, however, conies the question of a 10 per cent wage increase asked by the miners and this many engender more difficulties. - o Jesse A. Poynter Dies Cloverdale. July 15 —Jesse A.
