DAYTON, Tenn, July 22.-While
Dayton relapsed into its wonted
tranquility and its hosts of visitors
melted away, the Scopes case today
started for the United States Su-
preme court along two broad ave
nues.
Sooner of later probably within
IS months, that tribunal will hand
down q decision on the validity of
the Tennessee anti-ev0lution law
which alone was at stake III the his
toric progress just ended.
Meanwhile, drives for anti-evo.
hutton laws will be started in at
least seven states. as soon as then
legislatures convene, according tt
statement given to the United
Press by William Jennings Bryan.
The Scopes ease itself will go to
the Tennessee supreme court at
Knoxville for hearing at its Sep
tember session. If this court up
holds it, it will travel thence to
Washington. If it overturns it, the
issue still will go to Washington
through pafallel proceeding III INC
federal court which was started be-
fore the trial here BACON.
The attack through the federal
court will travel via the United
States court of appeals at Cincin-
natl. Legal opinion here seems to
hold that the outlook for reversal
of the anti-evolution law by the
United States supreme court is du-
bious, despite the professed opti-
mism of the defense staff.
Bryan did not specify what seven
states We're marked out for the
fundamentals anti-evOlution drive
He merely left the implication that
they were the states in which the
legislatures met soonest.
The commoner predicted that the
evolution issue will be more intense
a year from now. Since he has al
ready appeared before several legis
latures in support of anti-evolutior
and compulsory Bible reading bills
it was assumed that he meant he
would continue personally to wage
/ his fight on them.
