DAYTON, Tenn, July % The Ten
William Jennings Bryan in defense of
the Tennessee anti-eYoution law, which
the late commoner was prevented from
delivering at the Dayton trial because
of an early termination of the case,
was made known to the world today by
Mrs. Bryan.
"A sudden decision of the defense to
submit the case without argument, and
permit verdict of guilty, prevented the
delivery of the Speech" says ar intro
ductory note to Mr.. Bryans address.
"As il presents the issues involved
and the reasons for the law prohibitir G

hypothesis that makes man descend

Mr. Bryan declared in the address
that the case was no longer local, but
that it ''has assumed the proportions
of battle royal between unbelief that
attempts to speak through so-called sci

seize COTTON;
MAN ARRESTED
Struggled Goods Found
on River Bank; Prac-
tice Is Light

lgnacio Launido is in jail in the Hi
dalgo county Jail at Edinburg through
failure to make $1,000 bond on a charge
of smuggling cotton across the Rio
Grande in violation to u S. customs
rules, and regulations of the department
of agriculture.
Launido was arrested following the
seizure on the north bank Of the Rio
Grande from Mexico. The question was
so serious due to danger of introducing
pink boil worm, that ginners Of the
Valley raised sum of money to pay
special customs officers, authorized on
application Of the local officers, and for
the payment of rewards offered for the
arrest of persons bringing cotton across
from Mexico.
The lack of smuggling this year is
due more to the fact that fairly
good price is being paid for cotton in
Mexico, as against the poor price last
year, Customs Collector VIM. Neale, in
charge of the local customs office, said
Last year the poor price across the
river made it much more advantageous
to smuggle the cotton to this side.
The only cases in which there il
desire to smuggle cotton is when the
farms across the river are many miles
from the Matamoros gins, and only &
few miles from gins on this side Of the
river, Mr.. Neale said
Penalty for smuggling cotton is peni
tentiary offense. as it is violation OF
statutes covering two departments. The
legal ports of entry for cotton are Sar
Francisco, Newark, N. j.. New York
Boston, and others, and inspection must
be provided there.
Launido was arrested by Customs In
spectors c. H. Wright, and Earl West
and Border Patrol Inspectors Jesse
Perez, Jr., and Glenn Durham, while

BIG CARGO OF
fine LIQUORS
Land SAFELY
Officers Had Warning
Steamer Was Loaded;
No Papers Found On
Vessel; Crew Arrested
(By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 28.-The
government S rum blockade off
the Atlantic coast has been run
by the largest liquor-laden yes
sci ever seized in New York
harbor.
Champagne, whiskey and cor
dials valued at $250,00O were
landed and gobbled up by boot
leggers before customs officials
knew what was happening.
When they arrived at the dock
at Dykman street early yester-
day they found the 2,000-ton
steamship Augusta empty ex-
cept for Is bottles of liquor in
the officers quarters.
The crew was lolling about decks in
kid gloves. Acting Captain Charles
Wilson and "a men were arrested. The
ship, a $25O,000 twin screw freighter,
was seized.
Edward Barnes, assistant soliciting to
the collector OF the port. said Wilson
should haul down the American flag
and hoist the black banner Of the pi.
rate. The ship had no customs papers;
none of the officers had license; no
log was kept and there were no ships
articles giving the names Of the crew.
| While cutter dashed toward the ship
at anchorage off the Statue of Liberty,
the helmsman fouled the wheel in an
attempt to beach the vessel off Hoboken.
The cutters captain swung so sharply
toward the middle Of the river that the
Augusta listed to an angle of 40 de-
grees.
| Customs officials described landing Of
the $500 cases of liquor as the most
daring rum running feat in the history
of prohibition enforcement. Two weeks
ago they were tipped off that the Angus
ia had taken liquor on from vessel
eight miles off New Orleans and was
headed for New York. t
| Despite precautions the Augusta slip
ped by the scores of coast guard block
ade ships, through the busiest parts OF
the harbor, transferred the cargo to
] lighter and sold the liquor TO retailers.

steady employment to skilled and un-
