Specia! Dispatch to The Tribune
MONTREAL, Nov. 17.-The City of
Montreal, which had been making ar
rangements for bond issue of So
100000, has decided not to go into the
market at the present time. All plans
had been completed to call for tenders
and advertisements had been sent out
for the proposed issue. Owing to the
unfavorable conditions in the bond
market In New York during the last
few weeks it has been decided that it
would perhaps be better to postpone
any action for the present.
The executive commission has made
arrangements for loan from the
banks In the meantime and announces
1T will not make any issue until March,
1928, at the earliest.

pany ct AL, known as the New York tiling
case, involving twenty-five corporations
and forty individuals engaged in the
business of furnishing and installing
in buildings wall and floor tiles shipped
in interstate commerce from other
states. The indictments charged, 4
among other things, that the defend
ants agreed to furnish and install tiles
only at non-competitive, arbitrary and
excessive prices; that in pursuance of
an agreement and understanding be-
tween the defendants and the manu-
facturers the manufacturers sold and
shipped tiles only to the defendantss

with organizations of workers engaged
in setting tiles not to work upon tiles
furnished by other than the defendants.
All but five of the defendants entered
pleas of guilty, resulting in four jail
sentences and the imposition of fines

MIDDLESBoRo, KY, Nov. 17.-The
Kentucky State Association of Baptists,
at It's annual meeting here to-day, went
on record against the teaching of the
Darwinian theory as TO the origin Of
man. The association represents nearly
500, 900 men and women of the state. It's
aetion marks the beginning of cam
paign against instruction in evolution
which will continue more than year
and is expected to play a large part in
the elections of members to the state
generally assembly next year.
Resolutions passed at the Baptist
convention were offered by DR.. J. w.
Porter, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, Louisville, largest in the state.
The Rev. DR.. Porter led the fight against
teaching Of evolution waged in the
Kentucky Legislature last February and
March. DR.. Porter also attacked the
campaign in this state led by William
Jennings Bryan, who made several
speeches in favor of continuing the
teaching Of evolution. Porter and
Bryan are almost doubles in appearance.
The Baptist resolutions, passed
unanimously, follow:

Suit Against Daughter
Judge Reduces $28, 900 Verdict,
Declaring They Tried 20
sMulcf Insurance co.

The jury in the Queens County SUI
preme Court returned a verdict of
S28 900 damages yesterday in favor of
Mrs Luella Gear, of 322 West Seventy
second Street, who was suing her
daughter, Mrs. Luella Chandler, of
Douglas Manor, for injuries suffered
while she was motoring In the latter's
car on June s, 1921. Justice Aspinwall
at once reduced the amount to $4,000.
81 believe mother and daughter were
in collusion to mulct the insurance
company" he said. II find the verdict
excessive, and will reduce it to $4,000.
Unless the attorney for the plaintiff
stipulates within ten days to accept
$4,000 | will set the verdict aside en-
.tirely."
Mrs. Gears lawyer mt once accepted
the reduced amount, and Mrs. Chad
lears attorney told the court that II
his client had told him the same story
in his office as on the stand he would
never have taken the case. According
to her original story" he declared
'she had good defense to the ac-
ton"
Under examination Mrs. Chandler
had said that she was driving between
forty and forty-five miles an hour,
that her mother had repeatedly asked
her to Glow down and that she had re-
fused to heed her warning.
The accident occurred at Woodside,
L. L., when Mrs. Chandler's car over
turned as she attempted to pass an
other car while she was lodging a
truck. Mrs. Gear was thrown out and
received several fractures, which kept
her in hospital for nearly month.

Kentucky Baptists Open Fight
To Gust Darwin From Schools

divine account of creation as given in
the book of Genesis, exalts the brute,
degrades man and dishonors God;
"Second-~Therefore, Be it resolved
by the General Association of Ken
tucky Baptists in session assembled In
Middlesboro, KY:
''First~-That we, as the representa-
tives of 275,ooo Kentucky Baptists, are
unalterably opposed to the teaching Of
Darwinism in any of our denomina-
tional schools or other schools for
whose support we are taxed.
"Second-That we as Kentucky Bap-
lists withhold all financial support
from any of cur denominational schools
where is taught the Darwinian or any
other theory of evolution that CON
tradicts any part of Holy Writ,
"ThirdThat this body memorailize
the Southern Baptist Convention to
withhold all financial support from
schools where the rationalistic theory
of evolution is taught as fact"
1t is understood that other religious
bodies may take up the cudgels against
teaching of evolution. Aspirants to
the General Assembly, it is said, will
be interrogated as to their stand on
evolution as soon as they announce
their candidacy, and enemies of the
theory will combat men or women who
declare in favor of continuing evolu-
tion instruction in educational insti-
,utions supported by public funds.
