HOPS TO VOTE ON POETRY IN HUGE CONTEST Prizes Too High, Say Judges —Question Up to Local Walkers.

WATCH, HOPS! Watch the HOP news carefully. Next week, an important announcement will be made, vitally affecting all HOPS. Something will be staged on a. downtown street some noon day next week. That is, if the police let us. JUST READ ABOUT HOPS EVERY DAY AND YOU’LL FIND OUT.

By Ross H. Garrigus. Fr™ RANK POOLE, 1942 College Ave., sent a special delivery u—l letter containing a poem about "MY HARROWING EXPERIENCE AS A PEDESTRIAN." Personally, I'm against poems. The judges hinted they were, too. "Well, if it won that first prize of sls and a roller skate, it would be right high for poetry," said Coroner Paul F. Robinson, who has INVESTIGATED many poet-murders. Frank Flanner, undertaker, and Police Lieut. Lewis Johnson, the other judges who will pick the best letters, said the second prize of $lO | and a vaulting and the third r prize of $5 and a sliding pad might be all right. But the judges all said it was a ticklish problem. "It ain't our contest,” they said. "It's the dear Pedestrians. Let ’em vote on it.”' That suits me. All those who are in favor of Frank's poem being admitted on equal FOOTING with all other letters, telephone me, Main 3500 or write me a letter Also say if you want it printed. Decision •Adll be announced Monday. • * Safety zones are traps so HOPS can be killed six and eight at a time, says a HOP, who is too scared to give his name. * * • Here’s the letter it was written on gorgeous pink paper: |“”“1 AST Monday I was standing I in one of the marble-rings 1 I painted on the pavement around the circle which some humorous foe of the HOPS named “SafetyZones,” but in reality only traps laid there so t|hat the HOPS will congregate and the motorist can get rid of five or six of them by using the same gas and foot pres sure he would have to use to get one. An airplane passed overhead. “Seeing the endless line of HOP extinguishers passing by on the street, I put confidence in the words "safety zone,” and decided to watch the airplane. A passing motorist in Ia closed F-O-R-D (which was translated for me by one who was formerly an anti-HOP, but failed to meet one of his payments on one the HOP snufflers and was thrown. out of the order, as meaning "Frighten OR RUN DOWN,'” seemingly jealous of my apparent “at ease look,” stretched his neck out to see what I was watching. "The result was that he took the shine off one of my shoes and almost the toes from my foot. But as I was one of those careless HOPS who failed to forward the stick of gum for a book of appropriate things to say in such case, all I could do was to smile and beg his pardon for being in his way. But I don’t think he accepted my apology, because he maintained that look of j T’ll-get-you-the-next-time.’ “I'm afraid to sign my name to this letter as I fear I am a marked HOP, but should this win the sls in gold and a roller skate or any other prize given, please notify me through your columns and I'll meet you at the Union Station, where you can give me the award and I will immediately buy a one way ticket and get out of town.” • * Send in your letters to The Indianapolis Times, care HOPS. Rules: Keep all letters within 200 words. Give name and address. It’s sure an easy way to win sls. HIGHWAY FACES DELAY I Railroad Fails to Obey Order of Commission.

Mrs. George A Werbe

Once an active opponent of women’s suffrage, Mrs. George A. Werbe, W. Vermont St., is now Democratic women’s chairman. "I certainly would have kept the vote from woman if I could have had my say,” said Mrs. Werbe. "But I didn’t, and now Ahat we have the vote, I think it is the duty of every woman to vote, and vote intelligently.” “You see, it seemed we American women had enough privileges, much more than those of foreign countries, and I thought we ought to be content.” Mrs. Werbe said she thinks women should not run for office, but "leave it to the men who have created such a fine country for us to live in and enjoy.” She was a cl liter member of the Seventh District Women's Democratic Club. ARGUE SCOPES CASE MONDAY (Continued From Page 1) ings yesterday when he commented upon the court's rulings. After Darrow had practically defied the judge to take exception to a r.emark to the effect that all decisions from the bench seemed to favor the prosecution. Raulston swallowed his anger and let the matter drop. Scopes Raisftig Fine But there was some speculation as to whether he might not feel it necessary to proceed against the querulous Chicago lawyer Monday. AJier Raulston reads the affidavits, J if he still believes the jury should j not hear their contents, closing j arguments will be made and the i jury will be given the "fate” o * Scopes. Scopes already is foraging for the SSOO fine he will undoubtedly: be assessed when found guilty ALL OVER BUT SHOUTING Lawyers Will Do This Before Jury in Arguments. By N. D. Cochran Times Staff Correspondent DAYTON, Tenn., July 18.—The amazing Scopes trial is all over but the shouting and that will be done by the lawyers to the jury who will have to determine the law and the facts from the shouting especially that of William J. Bryan. What he says in this vicinity Is both the law and the gospel. He conducted a campaign against evolution by speeches in churches and public places for nearly a week before the trial started. What the jurymen learned about evolution they got from Bryan before they became jurors. Except for the few moments it took for the prosecution to introduce its evidence the jurymen were absent from the courtroom throughout the eight days of trial. By the court’s orders they -could not listen to the loud speakers in the Courthouse square or attend any meetings. Anybody else in the county might attend court and learn something about evolution from attorneys for the defense but the jurymen who must pass upon the law and the facts and determine whether evolution is in conflict with the Bible were legally bound to remain deaf, dumb and blind. Bryan has absolutely dominated the situation. The moment the defense undertook to prove what evolution is he took personal charge and directed the bitter fight of the attorney general to keep out the evidence of noted scientists, educators and clergymen, who see no conflict between science and the Bible. One of the purposes of keeping out the testimony of experts was to shut off attorneys for the defense from even arguing about evolution to the jury. Boldjy announcing days before the trial that this was to be a “duel to the death” between science and religion and that the monster of evolution was to be dragged out into the open so it could do longer work is devilish purposes In the dark Bryan proceded to lock evolution intelligence and learning in a technical hoosegow and the jury was parked out of sight. CITY HEALTH BUDGET UP Board Will Have Special Meeting Monday Night—Sell loss Re-Elected. Budget of the city health department for 1926 will be considered at a special meeting of the board of health Monday night. It was decided Friday night. General fund levy of 10 cents will not be increased, it was understood, but there is prospect that the board will ask an increase of from 1 to 2 cents in the tuberculosis fund levy. Sol Schloss was re-elected president and Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the body at the meeting. Dr. Goethe Link will be. vice president, succeeding Dr. William H. Foreman, who resigned from the board and was succeeded by Dr. Thomas B. Courtney.

SCOTT CHEERED BY FRESH HOPE OF GOING FREE Detroit Telegrapher Declares He Witnessed Murder of Maurer. Bn l nited Press CHICAGO, July 18.—Fresh hope of escaping the gallows came today to Russell Scott, former millionaire, as his friends and attorneys frantically sought new evidence and witnesses. By the terms of Governor Small’s eleventh hour reprieve, Scott has six days in which to raise a "reasonable doubt” that he kilted Joseph Maurer, a drug store clerk. A telegram from James M. Ball, a Detroit telegraph operator, was Scott’s chief hope of going free. Small was expected in Chicago some time today to investigate Russell’s claim that it was not he, but his missing brother Robert, who shot Maurer. George E. Gorman, the assistant State’s attorney that won Scott’s conviction however, expressed confidence that Scott’s hopes would be blasted and he would finally go to the gallows. “We arrested all the eye-witnesses and got their testimony,” Gorman pointed out. “It seems Incredible that this man, ’Ball, could have been a witness and kept quiet about it all this time.” BALL READY TO TESTIFY Telegrapher, Who Claims to be Witness, Accusses Missing Brother. Bn T'nitcd ”rrss DETROIT, Mich., July 18.—Declaring that it was time to do his duty and save an innocent man’s life, James Ball, a telegraph operator, today declared he was ready to (go immediately to Chicago to prove that Russell Scott did not shoot Joseph Mauerer, a clerk, during a holdup. “It was in the store at the time of the shooting,” Ball said. "There was no hold-up. And, furthermore, Robert Scott and not Russell Scott did the shooting. Robert is much younger looking than his brother.” Mrs Sarah Ball, wife of the telegrapher, said he never told her about witnessing the shooting COUNTY BANKS ARM FOR ‘WAR’ Vigilantes to Battle Pandits Ordered.

Route to Tippecanoe Battleground.

Tippecanoe battleground north of Lafayette is full of histt rlc interest for the tourist. This entire section has numerous attractions including the city of Lafayette, and Purdue University. Distance from Indianapolis is about eighty miles. The touring department of the Hoosier Motor suggests the following route: Leave Indianapolis over State Rd. 6 driving through Lebanon to Lafayette. Drive due west to West Lafayette then north over the county road to Tippecanoe battleground. There is a detour about

TO AVOID FIGHT ON EVOLUTION (Continued From Pago 1) statute,” said Dow Voorhies, trustee of Perry Township. Middle of Road “As for Perry Township, we are trying to keep in the middle of the road. I believe in science and evolution both, and think there is a way of harmonizing them. I have not issued any orders concerning evolution teaching, and don’t intend to, as I am not expecting trouble. “If there is anything in the text book's on evolution or Its theory it will have to stay there and be taught, as the courses of study are outlined for our schno'*- hv *’ "I won’t say whether I believe man is descended Itoiii a but I think a great many have the characteristics of a jack-ass.” Trustee Walsman of Center township, aaid the only order he will issue will be for his teachers to "lay off” arguing the whole subject and teach what the courses prescribe. Other trustee said they hadn’t considered the subject of enough importance to get excited about it. Ban in Blackford The action or lack of action of Marion County trustees is in contrast to that of Blackford County trustees, who are "agin” any such new-fangled notions as a theory of evolution, and said they will discha any teacher who teaches it. 1 , t e 'our trustees today remained firm in their stand. Dispatches from other sections of the State Indicated the quartet of anti-evolutionists stood out almost alone in their proposal to discharge teachers who give instruction in evolution. “We mean just what we said,” declared Charles Pierce, Licking Township trustee. “We’ll fire teachers if they disregard our orders.” All rural grade schools and the high schools of Rowland Montpelier are affected. Action of the trustees aroused general approval in the rural districts. Mary Newlin of Gary, trustee of Calumet township, Lake county, Is bitterly opposed to evolution. “I will not have any instructor in the township schools here who teaches such a theory,” she said. At Goshen No dismissal of teachers In Elkhart county for teaching evolution is contemplated, county school officials there said. “So long as my teachers prove themselves proficient and conduct themselves as teachers should they are sure of their positions.” This is the attitude of Knox County trustees on the evolution scrap, expressed by Carter Boykin, trustee of Vincennes Township. W. W. Carter, county superintendent, said the trustees had never officially discussed evolution. The evolution question has never been brought before the trustees of Henry County, H. B. Roberts, county superintendent, declared at Newcastle He said no action on Darwinism was in prospect at the present time. At Warsaw A majority of the seventeen trustees of Kosciusko County declared they have no scruples against teaching evolution In rural schools of the county. No action toward banning evolution is contemplated, the trustees said. Evolution will not be a factor in selection of teachers in Marshall County, County Superintendent Steinbach said. “The township trustees are losing no sleep over evolution," he said. At Terre Haute “We're not teaching monkey business in Harrison Township schools,” Trustee William McGuirk of the township in which Terre Haute is located, said. ' "The only subjects taught here are (hose prescribed by the State board of education," he said.

fifteen miles just north of Lebanon. A little ndrth of this there is another detour. With exception of the detours, the route Is over paved roads. Purdue is situated at West Lafayette. The motor club recommends the following return trip: Returns to Lafayette over the county road and drive due east over State Rd. 29 to Roosville. Here drive south over State Rd. 44 to Lebanon, returning to Indianapolis over State Rd. 6. Return trip is eighty-five miles long. Roads are reported good.

FIND WOMEN AUTO DRIVERS ARECAPABLE ‘Competent as Men,’ Asserts Psychologist After Test. As automobile drivers, women are as competent, or more so. than men, according to a report of American Automobile Association, received today by Todd Stoops, manager of the Hoosier Motor Club. "Advent of millions of women drivers must be regarded as an encouraging factor, for the reason that actual tests conducted under scientific observation have proven women are capable of handling machines,” Stoops said. In a series of tests women scored higher in those qualities essential for a good driver. Dr. F. A. Moss of the Institute of Government Research, a leading psychologist, who made the tests, considered the two primary factors that constitute driving ability as follows: Two Factors First, the speed with which the driver reacts to danger and takes steps to avert it. Second, the consistency with which the driver responds in such a situation. Women showed a quicker reaction time than men. Tests were made with students of George Washington University. Society Myth "There is no basis for the assertion that women are more liable to become excited. It is largely a myth that society has fostered by playing up the idea that women are expected to be emotional. There is no physical reason why they should be,” the report said. “Physical strength is no longer a factor in favor of men since with modern machinery the element of strength is not called into play.” BARBER’S TRIAL TO END MONDAY Owens Takes Stand in Own Behalf—Court Adjourns. Fate of Louis Owens, charged with murder of George Robinson, Dec. 6, 1924, will rest with a jury in Criminal Court Monday. Owens, testifying in his own behalf, Friday, said he stabbed Robinson in self-defense with a pair of shears during an argument in the locker room of L. S. Ayres & Cos., where both were employed as barbers. This is the second trial of the case, the jury disgareeing at the first trial. Special Judge Charles S Wilstie Friday adjourned court until Monday. According to Owens’ story on the witness stand there had been ill feeling between himself and Robinson for some time preceding the tragedy. He said that during the fight in the locker room Robinson, a larger man, struck him and bit him. DISMISSAL OF TWORUMORED Sages Loath to Believe Statehouse Story. Political sages were loath today to believe the story that Governor Jackson is to expell Mrs. Vivian Tracy Whcatcraft, vice chairman of the Republican State committee, f*r>m her job as assistant State tire marshal. Political expediency, the politicians say, has caused Jackson and Mrs. Wheatcraft to make wry faces at each other. It also has been said Jackson is asking for the resignation of Dr. J. G.
