SCOPES VISITS CAPITAL.
Supreme Court and Constitution Hold
His Interest.

John Thomas Scopes, the young
Tennessee professor of science. whose
indictment for eXpounding the
philosophy of evolution in violation of
the law recently passed by the Ten
nessee Legislature has attracted the at
tention of the whole intellectual world,
came to Washington yesterday with
his chief counsel. Judge John r. Neal,
for a sightseeing tour"
After visiting number OF interest
ing places in Washington, the callers
finally stopped before the original
draft of the Constitution of the United
States. in the Congressional Library,
the document upon which Scopes and
his whole retinue of legal advisers
pin their hopes for a verdict that Will
remove from this country forever the
right of legislature to limit by
statutes a teachers freedom in the
classroom.
Scopes and Judge Neal came here
from Annapolis. where they had been
visiting, and late last night left for
| DAYTON. The visit was unheralded.
Plans Complete.
Judge Neal said plans for Scopes
| defense are complete and il was indl-
Gated that even if the case is won in
Tennessee, steps will be taken to have
| it aired again in the United States
| Supreme Court. to preclude the posi-
| bility of a parallel case arising in
another State in the future. Only a
! favorable verdict from the highest
| tribunal in the country could make
| that possible and Scopes and his bat
| terry of impressive counselors intend
! to do everything possible to obtain
| that.
Scopes took occasion to vigorously
| deny that he Is agnostic. The young
| professor declared that he had been
! raised in a highly religious Presby-
| terian home and always had retained
"a deep religious feeling" although
| he is not now a member of any par
| ticular church.
Both Scopes and his chief of coun.
sci Judge Neal, emphasized that they
| will make no attempt during the trial
to uphold evolution as disproof of the
teachings of Christianity. I'VE are
not fighting religion" Judge Neal said
and Scopes added that he even plans
to name several clergymen among the
| witnesses for the defense. We do
not hold that evolution and practical
religion are irreconcilable, the speak

To Plead Not Guilty.
I'VE do hold, however, Judge Neal
|
this point, that it is no crime under
| Tennessee law or under the Constitu-
tion of the United States for man to
hold and teach the scientific view OF
his origin. We are only resisting the
effort to restrict such teaching in our
State. Some of the clergymen who
will testify offered their services; 9th
ers whose views are known to be OF
assistance to us were invited to the
| trial"
Reports that Scopes would plead
guilty to the indictment in order tc
get the case before the Supreme Court
were declared to be erroneous. Scopes
will plead, Judge Neal said, not guilty

having taught evolution in the high

the prosecution of William D. Shep

young millionaire, William N. McClin-

hampered by instructions from the

This point for the prosecution was
won after d heated argument yester-
day before Judge Thomas J. Lynch
in the judges chambers between the
six State and defense attorneys.
But the State must prove the
"corvus deficit" - that McClintock
lived, is dead, was murdered, and with

From Drs. Rufus Stolp and J. Her

cross-examination gained the admis-
sions that the young man sickened
and died during an epidemic OF typhold
fever attributed to eating tainted sea-
food. DIR. William d. McNally. coro-

said further that no medical science

BASE BALL POOLS
FLEEING TO COVER
Do More Business Since Ex-
pose, One Says, But Veil
Operations With Secrecy.

Swallowed by police and headquar-
ters detectives, promoters of the or
ganized base ball pools and their CHER
agents have thrown a veil of secrecy
around their activities, making 1t eX-
ceedingly difficult for the officers to
gather sufficient evidence to make ar
rests.
Prior to the expose of the preten-
tious lottery through which the oper-
ators "bled" about 100000 weekly from
gullible Washingtonians the little pool
tickets were sold without fear or Ia
yor. Now a player must have the best
of credentials to buy ticket.

The Police Department has been
pledged to a vigorous campaign 10
clean Washington of the new lottery,
which offers tempting prizes TO thoSe
credulous enough to invest 90 cents
In a game in which they have but
chance in S.0oS of winning the grand
prize Already the special officers
assigned to investigate the operators
of the pools have gathered consider
able evidence against them, but not
enough to justify the issuance OF
warrants.
Reports have come to the police
that a number of the more tlmld OF
the agents VINO sell tne pool tclhelS
have been frightened by the expose
and the subsequent police activity
and resigned. One agent, fearful, per
haps, that he was being trailed by
detectives, threw his current week S
supply of ticket into the tonneau of
an automobile parked near the
Southern Railway Building.
The owner of the car turned them
over to Capt. Ernest Brown of the
first precinct.
Business on Increase.
Promoters of the pools caught in
the net spread for them by the po-
lice will be prosecuted under various
sections of the District Code dealing
with lotteries, according to Assistant
District Attorney Ralph Given. The
penalties are severe, ranging from
one of five yeas imprisonment,
heavy fines, or bot. Those who sell
the tickets also arr subject to prose-
cution by the very same sections OF
the code.
Despite reports to the contrary, at
least one agent says he has benefited
financially by the expose of the base
ball pool. In letter to The Star
he admitted that he is selling around
$50 tickets d week, with his sales in
creasing steadily.

Obstacles Are Confronting.

The practical disadvantages of add
ing a new caliber of ammunition to
the supply line burdens are fully real
lied, and may ultimately prevent
adoption OF the seven-millimeter gun.
AS the Army is now equipped, only
the regular .3O-caliber cartridges are
needed for all rifles and machine guns,
and troops can be restocked with am
munition from any depot or dump.
This is a very high power, long range
type of ammunition, and not suited to
the probable short range use foreseen
in war for shoulder semi-automatics.
Furthermore, it has been found that
far better results in the way of sus-
tanned fire, economy of weight and
other particulars can be obtained with
the seven -millimeter caliber.
