kentucky Senators Fight
Ban ON Darwin's Theory
Conferees to Report Unfavor-
ably on Bill 10 Prohibit Teach
ing of Evolution in Schools
Special Dispotch to The Tribune

LEXINGTON. KY, Feb. 7. Some
members of the Kentucky State Senate
are unwilling to help stop the youth
of the state being instructed on the
Darwinian theory of evolution. This
was evidenced this afternoon when the
Senate Committee Of Kentucky Stat
utes voted unanimously to report un-
favorably the Rash bill which would
prohibit such instruction in the Uni
versity Of Kentucky and all other in
stitutions supported by state funds.
The substitute bill would order tie
prohibition Of instruction in ans
theory that would tend to undermine
or destroy religious faith of pupils.
1t was then voted % to 12 to place tho
substitute bill on the calendar.
Supporters Of the continuance of
teaching the evolution theory are de-
clared to be growing daily in numbers
and those who favor it say the vote
will be close, but they expect to win.
Backers Of the measure which would
discontinue such instruction hold they
have the victory.

LONDON, Feb. I (By The Associated
Press.-Thc India Office issued an
official communication this evening in
dicating that 1T WAS the intention of
the government to adopt stern meas
ures to suppress the campaign Of civil
disobedience in India. 1t adds that no
government could discuss, much less
accept, the demands contained in the
recent manifesto of Mahatma K.
Gandhi. the Indian Nationalist leader.
The communication says:
"Thc alternatives that now confront
the people of India are such as sophis-
try can no longer obscure or Disguise.
The issue no longer is between this or
that propaganda for political advance,
but between lawlessness, with all its
dangerous consequences, on the one
hand and or the other, the mainte
nance of those principles which lie at
the root of all civilized government.
"Mass civil dsobedience is fraught
with such danger to the state that it
must be met with sternness and severity.
The government entertains no douht
that in any measures they may have
to take for suppression they can count
on the support and assistance of all

Synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old. and beautiful, is
the social secretary of the firta-
tous Mrs. Isa3ei Carter. at
"Crownlands." Richard Carter's
home. and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward, twen-
ty-four years old and Impression
able. fancies himself In love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carter's latest affair is with
young Anthony Pope. and the
youth Is taking 1t very seriously.
Presiding ove the teacups this
summer afternoon. Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party in the city,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance of Blondin at ''Crownlands''
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man Is an avowed
adventurer. living on the guliibility
of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense In his
power. n after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow a policy of neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her,. though. realizing she does not
love him. Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother. and she Is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet. She prays
to do what Is right. Blondin and
Harriet agree to keep silent about
their past relations.

scorn.

with laden hands. But the question
was. how much?
He was musing over this very point
and other matters of deeper moment
one morning when Harriet herself

her usual bright nod. but he thought
she looked pale and troubled.

to the point, "do you think Nina is

Richard looked at her silently for
perhaps two minutes. Then he said,
quietly:
"Mr. Blondin. eh?"

She turned to give him a parting
smile. with a desperate wish to tell
him half the honor and joy she would
feel in taking his name. In sharing his
responsibilities. but the pleasantly Inn

words upspoken. Harriet fed to her
