DARROW REPLIES TO
 BRYAN'S ARGUMENTS
Makes a Brief Response to "Commoner's" Final
 Message on Evolution

Lexington, Ky, July 29 R-Clar- ence Darrow, Chicago lawyer who upheld the theory of evolution at the John T. Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn, has answered, very briefly, the final message of William Jen- nlngs Bryan, fnndamentalist cham pion and his chief opponent at the Dayton trial Mir. Darrow came here for brief vacation and proha- bly, will remain two days.
 Like the message of Mir. Bryan, given out through the press by Mrs. Bryan on account of the common CTS death. MT. Darrow also issued his answer through the press and not In an address.
 "I have read what Mir. Bryan h. tended for his speech at Dayton only hurriedIy," Mr. Darrow said, but it impresses me as only the argu- montative statement of lawyer. He referred again to the Loeb and Leo pold case, and the philosophy of luetsche. He indicates that, in hIs belief, such philosophy may have been responsible for their act.
 "Lceb knew nothing of evolution or Nietsche, II Is probable he never heard of either Leopold did. It is true. and had read Nietsche. But because Leopold had read Nietsche, does that prove that this philosophy or education was re- sponsible for the act of two crazy boys?
 Isn't it peculiar that of the mil lions of young men and women who have attended univ ersities and col leges of the country and studied evolution and perhaps Nietsche, that only one of tEem should commit such a crime as Leopold did?
 If I remember right, about a week or 90 after Loeb and Leopold committed their crime a preacher poisoned his wife and woman her husband that they could be to- gethcr. Would any one claim that religion had caused this preacher 10 do the thing he did?
 "In this world, little, if anything, is accomplished without progress. To make Christians of the Chinese you would be forced to kill many of them. The invention of the print ing press was drowned upon and even cost some lives, but no one maintains that it has not done good.
 The building of railroads has cost many lives but they aided hu- manity. Each year automobiles kill more persons than are killed by homicides but that Is no reason they should be abandoned pack and parcel.
 ''The trial at Dayton has done several things which are significant. or the jurors who heard the case at Dayton only one of them had ever heard of evolution. Today in Day ton they are selling more books of evolution than any other kind, and the book shops Of Chattanooga and other cities Of the state are hardly able 10 supply the demands for works on evolution. The trial has at least started people to thinking
 To the Commoner, MT. DarroW paid a tribute, though the beliefs oj the two were far apart,

Andrews Plans to Stop Not Only Liquor Smuggling, But Also Other Contraband En. tering U. s.
Frontier Organization to Dovetail With Interior Prohibition Watch - Drys Confident of Sue. cess.
By The Associated Press.

S' SHV NShuCIoteu fTehs.
 Washington. July 29-In further ance Of his basic plan 10 choke of the liquor supply at its source, As. sistant Secretary Andrews of the treasury proposes to erect a line of defense on the north and south bor- ders that will dovetail in with the interior prohibition organization.
 Reinforced Patrol The assistant secretary began con- sideration today of a plan to rein. force the customs service border pa. trol to take care of the new defense areas. He had on his desk reports from all border collection officials, each giving suggestions and recom- mendations for meeting their par ticular problems.
 MT. Andrews apparently is conn mitted to a completely motorized border patrol system.
 Big Loss Annually 1 Treasury officials have estimated that the government loses between So,o00,0O0 and s15.0oo,Oo0 a year through smuggling and the plans under study would be aimed to pre- vent the illegal entry, not only of liquor, but of many articles of mer- chandse on which tariff duties are levied as well as the smuggling of narcotics and aliens.
 Long stretches of the American border now are unguarded because Of the slim number Of customs agents who can be assigned to the Dakota Montana Idaho and Wash ington areas, as well as along the Rio Grande and Southern Califor- nia districts.
 Cattle Struggled In ., The southern problem has been largely that of smuggling Of liquor, narcotics and aliens. Mir. Andrews feels that more men and faster means of travel would solve the sit- uation.
 While Mir. Andrews was engaged in his study, the board of temper ance, prohibition and public morals Of tho Methodist Episcopal church issued a statement declaring the as. sistant secretary was friend of prohibition because he is the enemy of lawbreaking."
 Thinks All Should Aid
 The board held that "every United States official. whether connected with the prohibition unit or the fed eral courts every investigating off, cer. every prosecuting attorney, every United States commissioner. every United States mashal should be A supporter of the American policy of liquor suppression"
 Although declaring Secretary Mel lon, "hecauso of his associations and in his interest in the whiskey bua. ness in former years, was not con- sidered by prohibitionists as the proper person to he in charge of en . forcement, the board said there was "circumstantial evidence" that hs was following policy of Absolute non-interference and of sympathetic support of his subordinates charged with the enforcement Of the volstead act"
 The assertion that prohibition is having It's last trial" was secuted by the board, which said prohibitionists would fight on until satisfactory en- forcement was obtained.

LIFE IN JAIL ON
 INSTALLMENT PLAN
That's How Police Describe
 Mason, Fake Check PasSer
HELD UNDER St,5O0 BOND
Prisoner Released From Cell Yes terlsy Appears in Police Court on Charges of Victimlzlng Four New Britain Merchants.

Benjamin Mason, formerly of this city, found It easy to cash checks about the city, the police say, with the result that he was arraigned be- fore Judge Benjamin w. Alling In police court this morning on charges Of obtaining money and goods un- der false pretences. He waived ex- animation and was bound over 10 the September term of superior court under $500 bonds.
 Nasons alleged activities in the fake check game here came to light last August when four checks were turned over 10 the police, each for $22 and worthless. An investiga- ton at that time resulted in war rant being issued for Mason, but it was learned. that he was serving q term in Massachusetts for similar activities in Springfield. The Hart ford police had first claim on the man when he was released from the Massachusetts jail, and the local po- ltltdSt from custody after being tried on the Hartford charges.
 Released From Jail Yesterday
 His term at the county jail was completed yesterday so he was turn ed over to the local police and brought here for arraignment this morning. That he has gained con- siderable knowledge of court pro- Cedure from the past was indicated when he stood up in the prisoners pen this morning and waived ex- animation on one count and reading of the complaints and examination on the three additional counts.
 Chief William C. Hart said that Mason Is wanted by the police oI other cities where he passed worth. less checks. It is uderstood that checks In great numbers have been cashed by Mason about the state. and because of his past terms for the oftense. the one he faces for the local charges. and other he will be called upon to face in the future, the police refer 10 him as the man who is serving life on the install ment plan"
 List of Victims
 Mason Is alleged to have passe worthless checks, each for $22, or A. H. Tertes of the La Belle Shoe company of 360 Main street, Kune Greenberg, proprietor of a store al 22O East Main street, NJ. Albert Of l12 Hartford avenue and A. Gold berg of S6 Church street. In each place the police claim he purchased merchandise and tendercd the checks in payment. receiving cash for the difference between the amount of the purchase and the ap- parent value of the check.
 Two of the checks were on the First National bank at Hartford and were drawn payable to Henry C. Cole on order of John H, Carter. The other two checks were signed John H. Mclean" one of them on the Connecticut River Banking Co, and payable 10 Henry c. Colby, and the other on the New Britain Ma tional bank. payable 10 Herbert Randall.
