DAYTON, Tenn, July l1.-Within
Tennessee courtroom. Clarence Dar-
row of Chicago, had been made
Southern colonel. Circuit Judge
Raulston, who is presiding at the
evolution trial, bestowed the title, and,
as it was a decree of competent
| court, no appeal was taken by the
Illinois barrister. Instead he grinned
| like a Cheshire cat.
"Wil Col Darrow kindly step up
to the bench?' suggested the judge
after court had been opened with an
enormously long prayer by one or the
local ministers.

And Col. Bryan. too said the
Then the Judge and the two OPP
posing colonels all posed for their
pictures.
Tennessee was determined to be
neutral between the visiting counsel.
If Mr. Bryan was a colonel, col.
Darrow had to be created.
State attorneys quickly took up the
Judges lead and all during the first
session of court there was a playful
exchange with col" Darrow.

picture of the east Tennessee noun

slightly stoop- -shouldered coat off,
galluses holding up his baggy pants
a low-collared soft shirt and black
string tie-looked as if he himself
might have stepped out of the noun
tains hereabouts instead of coming
direct from the Boulevard Michigan.
His low, drawing voice added to the
effect Most of those in the court
room thought he had worn the title
of colonel for a long time, 1t slipped
so well on to his shoulders.
While Darrow strutted all day in the
limelight of jury selection, his OPP

Rrvan. shat quietly among the array
of counsel at the prosecuting table
and uttered not a word. Not an
audible syllable escaped his lips in
the courtroom. Some one said it was
the twenty ninth anniversary of the
commoner's cross of gold speech
at Chicago. If it was, Mr.. Bryan
celebrated it with a remarkable golden
silence.
Son Sits With Bryan.
Beside the Commoner sat his only
son, William Jennings Bryan. jr-, of
Los Angeles, who has been called into
the case as associate counsel for the
State Not many persons hereabouts
knew that Mr.. Bryan had a son, so
modest has been his life, but they took
a keen interest in him when he ar

sions about the eyes does he resemble
his eminent father. He is rather tall,
heavy set. about 80 years old, dis
tinctly on the good-looking side, wears
horn-rimmed glasses and tooth

But another reason for eclipse of
