ISCOFFERS AT EVOLUTION
THEORY CALLED IGNORANT
Ohio Scientist Says Enlightened
Churchmen Accepted Doctrine
World Over Years Ago.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 15.-Mod-
ern theorists who refuse to accept the
doctrine of evolution were charac-
terized as ignorant and prejudiced by
Prof R c. Osburn. president Of the
Ohio Academy of Science, in an ad-
dress before that body here.
Prof. Osburn. who is a member of
the department of zoology at Ohio
State University, said the more en-
lightened churchmen the world over
accepted evolution as one of the great
fundamental truths years ago.
only the ignorant and prejudiced
among them are left to butt their
heads against the wall of scientific
evidence" he declared. More than
fifty years ago English churchmen
knew enough to quit when proof of
evolution was demonstrated to them.
%Alt scientists agree on the fact of
evolution" he said. They disagree
on the method. This constitutes one
of the many prevalent misconceptions
relative to the theory. Many persons
cannot appreciate the fact that Dar-
winism and evolution are not syn
onymous. In refusing to accept the
idea that man descended from the
monkey they believe they are oppos-
ing evolution. They arei not. They
are but refusing to accept one of the
many theories relative to the origin
of the species. Whether the human
race sprang from man or monkey the
status of evolution remains un-
changed. Evolution is simply an ex-
planation of the way things have
come to be as they are together with

der which this has taken place"

MoNDELL FIRM FOR CUT.
Declares Kelley Bill Provides Suf.
ficient Naval Personnel,

Majority Leader Mondell has given
emphatic support to the Kelly bill
in a statement to the national coun-
ell for reduction of ornaments:
Il am in earnest" Representative
Mondell said, 'in my support of the
provisions of the naval bill as re-
ported by the committee on appro-
priations, because I think they are
in harmony with both the letter and
the Spirit of the treaty on the limi-
tation of armaments
THE provisions of the bill afford
us thoroughly manned and
equipped navy of the size and
strength contemplated under the
treaty. They will at the same time
provide for that reduction of the size
and cost of the naval establishment
which the conference contemplated
and for which the treaty provides.
"Unhappily there seem to be some
people who, while giving lip service
to the policy and provisions of the
treaty, are contending for naval
establishment which would in no.
wise reflect any appreciable reduc-
tion in naval size or cost by reason
of the agreement entered into.
81 am for an eighteen -battleship
navy we'll equipped and ready for
action. Such a navy the bill provides
for. I am also in favor of keeping
the faith, of respecting the spirit. as
well as the letter, of the treaty, and
of presenting in a tangible and un-
derstandable form of numbers and
expense the fact that navies are to
be reduced"

NEW YORK, April 15.-The mrs,

Uncle Sam has. been fired in the war
against liquor pirates.
The Mehalatos. former submarine
chaser. steamed into port last night
to announce that the first shot was
fired Thursday night when she en-
countered supposed rum runner hve
miles off the New York shores. II
was only blank shot, but it had the
desired effect, for the suspected craft
quickly doused all lights showed her
stern and sailed speedily in the di.
rection Of the Bahamas. The Meha-
latos followed the mysterious craft
for three hours, but gave up the pur-
suit with the appearance of rough
seas.
The Mahalatos. with Capt Howard
porter of the New York World aboard
was on her first voyage as vessel OF
the prohibition navy. 1t was dusk
when the mysterious craft was
sighted.
Every light on the submarine chaser
was extinguished. They drew close
and Capt Vessels hailed the strange
boat. receiving the>response that sht
was bound to Canada from the Ba-
ilamas.
In answer to his query as to whai
they had aboard came the surly reply
Come over and see, and the
stranger, a two-masted power boat OF
$50 tons. set her engines going ano
turned seaward.
1t was then that Capt Vessels fired
the blank shot that marked the open
ing of naval warfare by America &

EXTENDING USE OF RADIO
Naval Facilities to Be Available for
Press and Commerce Until =
June 80, 1925.


The bill extending use of the gov
ernments naval radio facilities for
commercial and press purposes until
June so. 1925, was signed yesterday
by President Harding.
me measure was finally passed by
congress last week. after having
been before that body for almost a
year: AS passed by the House it au-
tnorized the extension of the use OF
such facilities only until next June
90. The Senate amended it in acting
on IT in February by making the ex-
tension until June So 1927.
The compromise for extension until
1873 as provided in the measure given
executive approval today does not ap-
ply TO messages to China. The serv-
ice to Chinese stations will be terni :
mated January l. 1924. owing to inter-
national wireless agreements.
The bill had the support of many
business concerns and of various as
Sociations of newspaper publishers
particularly on the Pacific coast, who
held that private facilities for COM
munication with the far east were in
adequate to serve the needs of tie
United States and that such service
as was available in many instances
was excessively expensive.

There were many attacks on the ac-
curacy of figures supplied by the IN

respect to the enlisted treaty, strength
of Great Britain and Japan. Naval eX-

ANT|GON|SH GHOST
F|NDSADEFENDER
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
BIames Naughty Boy, Mis-
chievous After Death.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 15.-There really
was ghost in Antigonish. Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle declared.
Then he elaborated on the report
made by a psychic research expert
after investigating queer doings at
the home of Alex Mcdonald. in Gale
donia Hills, Antigonish county. Nova
Scotia.
The psychic research expert. DR..
Walter Franklin Prince. reported that
the disturbances in McDonald's home
were caused by Mary Ellen. his
adopted daughter. during altered
states of consciousness
Mnry ellen the Medium.
Mary Ellen was not the ghost. but
the medium of the ghost. which prob
| ably was that, Sir Arthur believes. OF
death could cure Of his mischievous-
ness.
Il was greatly interested in the
Antigopish di.--rhances." Sir Arthur
added. because At was almost a
duplicate of the great Amherst mys-
was a Nova Scotia case, with <mys-
terious fires, etc. Psychic research
people then. as in the Antigonish
case. said it was the work OF some
body in the house.
Il have no doubt at all that the
spiritualistic explanation of the Anti
gonish mystery was correct. Mary
Ellen, the medium, threw out some
power which was used by something
malevolent outside herself.
Eyes, there are malevolent spirits
on the other side. 'Mischievous' would
be better word. But, spirits. malev-
oient or mischievous. are not al
| lowed to do real harm. The Anti
gonish house really did not take fire,
! did it?
There's a law on the other side
that no spirit shall do harm to a
! mortal. They may alarm people. but
that is a good thing. 1t takes a
rough jolt to arouse some people to
realization of things"
