RED CHURCH GROUP
CITED FOR CONTEMPT
Factional Fight Over Control of
American Branch of Sect Takes
New Turn.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 3.-The con-
troversy involving control of the Rus
sian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church
in the United States, with its $40 ,0O0,-
900 of property assets, moved into
another phase yesterday. The de-
posed group, under Archbishop Roz-
destvensky, obtained a Supreme Court
order requiring the newly installed
dignitaries to show cause why they
should not be held in contempt for
having taken possession of the Cathe-
dral of st. Nicholas. The order is re-
turnable today.
The Rozdestvensky faction was
ousted Wednesday by a detachment
of police on a court order authoriz-
ing Archbishop Phillipovsky to take
charge of the cathedral and with it
the status of de jure head of the sect.
Notice to vacate having been ignored,
the aid of the police was sought to
enforce the order.
AdherentS of the Metropolitan
Platon. who had been in control of
the Cathedral of st. Nicholas, charged
the police acted in defiance of a tenn
porary restraining order they had OBJ
tanned from another branch of the
Supreme Court, and announced they
would seek warrants charging op-
preston.

HUMBLE RAT TERRIERS DISPLACE

Fe,Oer-FIappers' Favor
Turns to Liuelier Pups.

Every dog has its day. and just at
habitue of backyard and alley, is
breaking into canine society with a
flourish that threatens to push his
snobbish brethren of the poodle, peke
and other families into discard.
The mischievous bark of the short
haired rat chaser that long has min
gled with the clash of tincans and the
rattle of garbage wagons to the rear
now rings out audaciously from the
lounge in the drawing room or from
the cushioned rear seat of shining
limousines.
In other words, the mutt" is COM
ing into its own in caninedom. AT
least such is the indication In dog
records and substantiated by dog
fanciers of the District, who ought to
know.
While the new dog tags for next
year went on sale only this week,
records for the past year and the gen.
eral trend as noted by authorities
point to a preponderance in Washing
ton at present of licensed terriers of
the rat and fox variety.
Even the greatly populariZed police
dog is looking to its laurels these days,
IT is said. The German dog is just
managing to keep neck and neck with
its once despisod terrier cousin, ac-
cording to local pet dealers.
1t was but natural that the long
haired, fluffy type of dog should give
way to the inherently bob-haired ami
NAL, 1t is pointed out by those who
have made a study of the thing. Dogs
are slaves of fashion just as their
masters and mistreSseS are, and with
the advent of the bob-haired flapper
craze there came a corresponding revo-
luton in canine social ranks. The
short-h haired terrier suddenly found
himself called from his alley associa-
tions to the pinnacle Of all that is
ultra smart I'm dog circles.

Some of the most essential evidence
yet produced in support of the theory
or evolution as 1t concerns the descent
OF man, the result of original data
gathered by DIR. Adolph II. Schultz of
the Carnegie Institution, who may be
one of the chief witnesses at the
Scopes trial this month, is made
public for the first time in the latest
issue of the official journal of the
Washington Academy of Sciences.
In gathering observations to uphold
the claim that man Is descended from
common ancestor with the man-like
apes, DR.. Schultz centers his attention
on the mysterious changes which take
place in the human being during the
months before birth
1t now is an accented doctrine of
evolutionists that a human being be-
fore birth passes through certain of
the stages of the evolution of the race
itself from the first life forms-that is
that there are periods in the develop
ment of the human embryo when 1t is
somewhat like the embryo of a fish,
of reptile and of a mammal.
Has Tail Beofre Birth.
Among DR.. Schultz statements are:
1. Man, before birth, still possesses
true external tail. The same holds
good for the embryos of the higher
apes. The majority of individuals of
both species lose this tail before they
actually are born, although there are
individuals, both human and ape, who
come into the world with 1t and retain
1t through life. Among the illustra-
tions gathered by DR.. Schultz is one
of 12-year-old boy in French Indo-
China with tail nine inches long.
The orang-outang or chimpanzee with
81 tail is about as rare as a man with
tail, but individuals are known to
exist.
2. In the direction of losing his
tail, the orang-utan probably has gone
further than man. Dissection of the
body of an adult man shows that the
remnants Of a tail, concealed inside
the body, contain four or five verte-
brae. The orang -Nan has only two
or three vertebrae.
The Barbary ape, on the other hand,
has not progressed as far as either
man or orang- -utan, and carries
through life very short appendage,
which is believed to represent the
same thing as the embryonic tail in
the former two.
Bones Show Progress.
3. In the human embryo the collar
bones turn up so as to form two sides
of a triangle. In adult whites the
collar bones are almost straight
across, in primitive races they still
form two sides of a triangle, although
with considerably greater angle than
before birth. In the apes they retain
the same position in the adult as be-
fore birth. This, argues DIR. Schultz.
illustrates evolution in the making,
showing not only where man as a
whole is differing progressively from
the apes, but where the white race
is differing progressively from other
races.
4. The brain part in the head of a
man exceeds that of any other pri-
mate. Man cannot claim to have
the largest head, however, which re-
mains about in proportion TO the
trunk in all members of the primate
family. Relative to the size of the
trunks, the heads OF men and apes
at birth are larger than at any other
time of life. In none of them does
the head keep pace with the growth
of the body. This common physio-

Eyes Getting Closer.

logical popularity Is considered fur
ther evidence of the close relation
ship between the primate group.
Eyes Getting Closer.
5. When g. man or an ape is born
the eyes are set comparatively far
apart. During growth they come
relatively closer together, a progress
sive sign. In this respect some of the
apes have bested man. having mar
rover spaces between the eyes than
more primitive humans.
6. In man, the orang-utan and
the gorilla the relative size Of the
ears decreases after birth, while In
other mammals 1t increases.
7. There are a number of close cor
responsiveness in the development of
the hand, both in manlike apes and
in man, which are believed to uphold
the theory of direct relationship. Man
has a proportionately longer thumb
than any monkey or ape, but in all
primates the thumb becomes gradu-
ally shorter in relation to the hand
length as growth advances. This proc
ess has not advanced so far in man
as in some Of his alleged relatives.
Some monkeys have lost their thumbs
altogether after birth, although these
are present in the embryo, showing
that they are part of the historical
inheritance of the race. Some indi-
viduals of these monkey tribes retain
thumb after birth in much the same
manner as some men retain tails.
8. In all primaries with the excep-
ton Of white men and possibly few
other humans the fourth finger is
longer than the second. This holds
true especially for negroes. In respect
to the hand, the negro is considered
closer to the sinian stock than the
white. The change in the form of the
hand is adduced as evidence of the
progressive evolution of the white
race III this respect.
Webbed Toes.
9. In a number of monkeys there
is a web between the second and
third toes. In the human embryo the
toes are webbed at some stages OF
development. Occasionally humans
are born with webbed toes.
The peculiar conclusion to be drawn
from some of DIR. Schultz's ohserya-
tions, scientists here claim, is not alone
that men are rather closely related to
the higher apes, but that the opes, In
some respects, have progressed further
from the original ancestor than has
man. In respect to the thumb, for
ancestor of man and monkey was
probably considerably closer to man.
AN almost endless number of other
embryological findings" Dr. Schultz
says, could be added to these scat
tered data. Embryology is capable OF
producing valuable corroborations OF
the evolutionary theory, as well as
shedding new light on the ancestral
conditions of the human body. The
outstanding conclusions can be sum.

striking resemblances between man
ape and monkey in early development
and their frequently close correspond

origin for all primates, including man
Furthermore, there exists ample evi

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3.-The Ma
fional Education Association will not
join with the American Federation of
Teachers in the movement for repeal
of the Summers amendment to the
District appropriation bill.
The federation initiated the cam
paign at its ninth annual convention,
in Chicago Tuesday, because it be-
lieves the Summers rider, which for
bids the teaching of .disrespect to the
Holy Bible, partisan politics and that
"ourS IS an inferior form of govern
ment," corresponds closely to the Ten
nesSee anti-evolution law.
Declines to Take Definite Stand.
Throughout all of it's proceedings
this week the n. +. A. has steered
clear of taking a definite stand on
the monkey business in Tennessee,
although numerous attempts were
made to bring the question before the
representative assembly. The resolu-
tions committee also purposely avoid
ed the subject.
While some members of the Dis
triCt's delegation are understood to
favor academic freedom, which the
federation contends the Summers
amendment seeks to curb. they believe
ii would be useless to ask the \. L. A

view of its conservative "hands-off' -
