DAYTON, TENN., IS ON ITS WAY TO BE FAMOUS Town Wrought Up Over Pending Evolution Case Trial. Bu United Press DAYTON, Tenn., May 26.—Dayton is plunging pell mell on its way to fame. The trial of John T. Scopes teacher of both science and football at the Dayton High School, who was indicted Monday for teaching evolution in violation of the State law, will begin July 10, and by that time Dayton expects the eyes of the world to be glued upon this com munlty. The indictment was all that had been expected from the grand jury; If it had not been returned, Dayton would have considered the fact the greatest civic disaster in history. Scopes himself admits violating the law recently passed by the Legislature prohibiting teaching In schools supported by the State of "any theory that denies the story of divine creation of man as taught in the Bible and teaches. Instead, that man descended from a lower form of animal life." Students who tftok science courses under Scopes during the last school term furnished the evidence to the grand jury onVhich the true biil was based. Read* From Genesis In charging the special session of the grand jury, which was hurriedly called in apparent fear lest some other envious Tennessee city steal all Dayton’s glory by establishing a test case of Its own before the Rhea County grariH Jury here got around to Scopes case in August, Judge John T. Raulston read from the first chapter of Genesis, from the first to the thirty-first verse. He also read the anti-evolution act. It was said that Scopes personally had urged his pupils to testify against him, inasmuch as he was popular with them all and they were reluctant. Boys Testify Jack Hudson, a 16-year-old junior, testified that on April 16, Scopes explained Darwin’s theory of evolution In his classroom, and Howard Morgan, a sophomore, advised the grand jury that the Instructor had even gone so far as to explain the origin of the earth and to claim that discoveries of rock fossils revealed the plant and animal life were at first very simple and gradually became more and more complex until man himself finally was evolved. "This is evidence,” young Morgan quoted Scopes as saying, “that all life sprang or was developed or evolved from a one celled animal.” Other students cofroborated this testimony. Said Scopes: “The verdict was as I had expected. I am pleased with it. The question involved in this case Is one that will have to be decided some time and might as wfell be now I believe that a study of the theory of evolution is needed to reveal to one that glories of God and His works.” STEP MADE TO CODIFY LAWS Regulations on Plumbing in New State Code. The administrative committee of the State building council today adopted an inclusive code reguating installation of pumblng in public buildings or buildings to which the public s nvted. The commttee, composed of the State fire marshal, health commissioner and chairman of the industrial board, authorized the printing of 6,000 copies of the code. The committee, authorized under Acts of 1923. will further codify the State building law under similar classifications. Eventually, It is fexpected the new codes will be enacted Into laws. Dixon Bynum, industrial board chairman, said the plumbing code contained nothing revolutionary In character. MASONS OPEN MEETING F. and A. M.
