BRYAN IN new ATTACK
ON DARWIN'S THEORY
Commoner Answers Statement Made
by Forty Prominent Americans
Regarding ScienceA
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Washington, D. G. = The joint dec
laration issued here Saturday by 40
prominent Americans, holding that
there is no antagonism between Sci
ence and religion, was assailed by Will
liam j. Bryan in a statement published
today by the Evening Star. 1t was
given the Star yesterday by Mr.. Bryan
during a short visit to Washington.
Those who signed the declaration, in
GLIDING Secretaries Hoover and Davis,
three bishops and other leaders in the
political, religious, business and scien-
tific world were said by Mr.. Bryan to
have "put up straw man and then
assaulted it with big words
"There is no antagonism between re-
ligion and real science" continued Mr..
Bryans statement. Science is CLASH
fed knowledge, therefore nothing is
scientific unless true. No truth can
hurt the Bible. No truth can harm
Christianity Our objection is to un-
supported guesses put forth by sci
entists in the name of science. The
guess to which we most object is that
man is q descendant of the brutes."

North Carolina by making the state

Carolina permitted a citizen to receive
one quart of liquor every two weeks,

Phillip PLANS FOR
HEART TO HEART TALK
Will Seek to Interest Farmers and
Business Leaders in the Work
of Wisconsin.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

Milwaukee, of Wisconsin
and business men of Milwaukee and
members of the Association of Com
MERGE are to have heart-to-heart talks
on the tax problems confronting the
state of Wisconsin, according to E. L.
Philip, president of the Milwaukee
Association of Commerce, Mr.. Philip,
former governor of the state, is Of the
opinion that the farmer does not quite
understand the tax question as it af-
fects the business man. The former
chief executive of Wisconsin believes
that business concerns in this state are
taxed too heavily and he feels that
with the exchange of views between
the business men and the tillers Of the
soil from time to time an understand
ing might be reached which in the end
would result in a proper solution of
the problem to the benefit of the state
in general.
Several corporations Of Wisconsin
have been mentioned. from time to time
as likely to leave the state because of
what is claimed to be drastic taxation
laws as affecting corporations. One of
these, located in Kenosha, recently
removed to New York.
1t is the plan of President Phillip Of
the Milwaukee Association of Com
merce to invite delegations of farmers
from time to time from various sec
tions of the state to Milwaukee to dis
cuss the taxation question as it affects
Wisconsin with a view to bringing
about tax legislation which will be sa-
tisfactory in the end to all concerned.

count of the strikes and communist
activities appear at present to be
conferred at Dortmund, where the in
habitants passed night of terror and
the communistic elements today were
striving for the upper hand. Workers
guards there took up positions in the
streets and searched all passers-by,
ostensibly for fire arms, but many COM
planned that their money and valu-
ables had been TAKEN Numerous
fights grew out of the searching and
many persons were hurt.
The terroristic methods at Dortmund
were preceded by bitter fighting be-
tween the communists and blue police
at nearby mine where communist
emissaries tried to induce the pump
men to leave so that the mine would
be flooded. Police attacked the com
munist forces and drove them away,
after two of the police were killed and
eleven wounded. The communists
were armed with hand grenades which
they used effectively.
The strike is spreading into the
Rhineland. At Duisburg the metal
workers went out today.
The situation at Hamburg is SO seri
Gus that the authorities have prohi-
bited the sale of alcoholic drinks.
Other industrial centers are consid-
ering similar action.
At Dusseldorf the security police
had clash today with striking street
car and gas work employees.

tic regions of Sweden and is now being
perfected by the inventor, Mr.. j. w.
Sandstrom, chief of the Swedish wea-
Their Bureau.
Mr.. Standstrom in an address just
delivered before the Swedish Physics
Society declared that polar explora-
ton ought to be raised from the level
of hazardous sport to that of we'll
equipped scientific research. The ex-
plorer needs swift and reliable means
of transportation, dependable plant
for the preparation of food, comfort
able bed, table at which to work, a
darkroom for developing photographs,
etc, and these advantages are all pro-
vided by the new motor-sleigh.
This new vehicle is an adoption of
the principle of the tank. Sufficient
supporting area is given to the cater
piller treads to carry three-ton cargo
over loose snow several feet in depth.
A So horsepower gasoline motor pro-
pels this strange craft at the rate of
seven miles an hour. The interior of
the car is fitted out compactly with
folding beds, patent kitchen, and other
Special equipment which scientist
needs in sheltered place. 1t is

CHILD INJURED
in STRANGE WAY
Little Betty Kent Falls Out
of Automobile Satur-
day Evening.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Little Betty Kent, the four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dexter Kent,
$50 Prairie avenue, is recovering at her
home today from injuries received
Saturday evening in one of the strang-
est automobile accidents of the year.
While returning from Antioch in the
Kent sedan, Betty had the misfortune
to fall out of the car and though Sc
verely injured it is considered little
short of a miracle that she escaped
critical injuries if not death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kent were in the front
seat of the sedan while younger
brother and Betty and neighbor child
were in the rear seat of the sedan.
1t was thought that both rear doors of
the car were double locked.
Door Blew Open.
The children had been talking and
playing when one of the rear doors
of the sedan became Jared open as
the car was being driven on the Gen
eva road only few miles outside of
the city. Betty attempted to close the
door and was thrown out of the car
and hurled into the ditch at the side
of the road.
The other girl, frightened, called to
have the car stopped and told that
Betty had fallen out, Mrs. Kent, star
tied by the news and the fears aroused
therefrom, tainted.
Hurried to a Doctor.
The father frantically hurried back
along the road and found Betty hud-
died in a heap at the side of the road.
She was badly bruised and scratched
but no bones were broken and it is
believed that she suffere no internal
injuries. She was hurried to ply
sician's care in Kenosha and today is
declared to be out of danger.
Mrs. Kent is likewise recovering
from the shock attendant to the acct
dent.

HAYNES DECLARES
NATION GOING DRY
Says Less Reason to Worry Over the
Rum Fleets Than Over the
Home Concoctions.
CBy Associated Press Leased Wire)


Washington, D. C. = How the United
States has "dried up" under prohi-
bition, despite rum running and boot
Logging was the subject of statistical
statement today by Federal Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes. He gave out
figures showing that major imports of
distilled spirits to the nearby liquor
smuggling sources altogether amount
ed to slightly over 1 per cent to pre-
prohibition American withdrawal.
cit is readily seen that there is less
occasion to worry over the rum fleet
smugglers than over domestic concoc-
ton of fraudulent spirits. If a great
er amount is struggled in than these
figures show, it is certain that expan
sion comes by means of adulteration
and rectifcation, or is synthetic stuff
struggled out and in again. The per-
centage of good liquor found in gov
eminent confscation amounts to less
than one per cent. Recent magazine
and newspaper revelations bear out
this statement"
Commissioner Haynes figures show
ed 1,624,136 gallons of spirits exported
from the United Kingdom to Canada
in 1918, before prohibition against 813,-
105 gallons last year. The Canadian
imports so far this year show a reduc-
tion of about SO per cent from the
1918 rate, he added. United Kingdom
imports to the West Indies and Bahia
mas showed an increase from 94,140
gallons in 1918 to 350,311 gallons for
the first four months of this year or
at an annual rate of 1,050,933 gallons.
eff the entire amount was struggled
into the United States" said Commits
sioner Haynes, at would equal less
than three fourths of one per cent of
the tax paid liquor Withdrawals for
consumption in the United States for
the fiscal year, 1913, which amounted
to 140,289, 424 gallons.
"Stories broadcast regarding the
large amount of liquor being SNUG
gled into the United States are valu-
able to the bootlegger to foist his pois-
onous ware on the public as genuine
imported stuff for which he gets a
fabulous price. In the same manner
the embassy fiction used in Washing
ton to help sale of bootleg liquor"
