Fails to Get Anti-Darwin Reso-

The choice between Moses and OAR

William jennings Bryan who

Presbyterian general assembly meet

hypothesis of, the origin of the

to establish q materialistic, evclu-g
tionary philosophy of life or disre-
gard or attempt to discredit the

BryaT,s resolution rejected by. a
two to one vote, was more direct
and subject to no evasion or mis-
Interpretation. 1t declared no part
of the educational fund should be
paid to any school that teaches or
permits to be taught "as IA proved

The fight over evolution forced
by Mr.. Bryan eliminated in a de-
bate that will be. church history.
DR.. John Willis .Baer, chairman of
the sassembly's standing committee
on education, led the liberalists.
] The debate was not confined to
these two participants but was
joined in by many of the intel
lectual lights of the church. The
position taken by those opposed to
the Bryan resolution was that a
belief in evolution and Christianity
both was not impossible and recon-
ciled the two.
AS for Mr. Bryan, his ardor was
not dimmed; he cites the fifty year
fi~ht for woman suffrage and pro-
hibition as exemplifying the strug-
gle it takes to win sometimes.

There is enough insulin in sight to

u. S. Witness Gives Account of
Grading Work at Noank
Plant. l..

The Government through the
Emergency Fleet Corporation was
not expected to rebuilt or recon
struct Morse's ship yard at Noank
to adopt it for the purpose of con-
structing ships during the war for
the Government, according to Nor
man c. Finninger, an expert ac-
countant of this city and said to be
the Governments star witness in
the Morse conspiracy trial today in
ford, presiding.
Witness in his statement offered
in evidence yesterday, giving, the
transactions at the ship yard with
regard to the building of Govern
ment and private boats, quoted 400
Items, aggregating $121,000 and
charged them to the account for
private business"
Cross examined today by ATTORNEY
Nash lockwood for the defense,
witness referring to an item of. 1921
for grading said that the building
of Government ship needed no
grading and that if the Noank' yard
had been a going plant, the proper
amount of grading should have been
already done before and no extra
charge should be made for such
work.
do you mean to tell this court
and the jury that grading is not
necessary preparatory to the laying
of a keel of Government ship the
witness was asked.
Finninger replica that he could
not answer that question, beyond
saying that his report on the matter
showed his interpretation" of what
the records reflected" Witness adj
mitted that he made his examina-
ton of the books of the Morse con-
Germ upon which his reports are
based five years after the work re-
ferred to in his statements had been
done. He said that he was not able
to state whether or not some of the
material charged by him in his state
ment to private business" had been
used in connection with the build
ing of Government ships. He said
in many cases the requisition slips
were missing, and therefore could
not tell from his. own observation
what was used for Government pur-
poses and what was used for pri-
vate business. -
The statement in question showed
items for the building of quarters for
Workingmen at the Noank plant, the
men to be employed in the carrying
out of the contract with the Ship
ping Board. Witness said he thought
the expenses incidental to the build
Ing of these quarters constituted an
increased value of the plant and
should not be charged against the
Government. Finninger was asked
whether he was familiar with the
contract of the Shipping Board and
the Noank plant which contained a
clause providing and covering items
Snch as making necessary changes 1
or additions at the plant to adapt it
for the purposes stated in the con-
tract-that OF building ships for the
