LAWYER EXPLAINS
 NEW TENN. STATUTE
Cantril Denies t FOrbds
 Teaching of Evolution ,F

Chattanooga, Tenn. July 6 R-- John T. Cantrill, president of ths Chattanooga Bar Association, has issued personal statement in which he s"ys that the Tennessee anti evolution law is narrow in it's scope and Goes not prohibit the teaching of evolution, as is generally sup posed" He said:
 "l do not believe and I do not think that lawyers generally believe that John T. Scopes or any other Tennessee teacher, has actually vio- lated the act by affirmatively teach ing that ssan has descended from a lower ord-r of animal. Any teacher may teacb shat there was no divine creation of ~nSthing, that everything in nature happened by consequence, and that the Rible teaching on every subject is falss from Genesis to rev elation and No will not violate the law unless h9 also affirmatively teaches that man has descended from a lower c~ier of animals.'
 Before he went to New York to consult the American Civil Liberties Union people and their attorneys. Scopes was quoted as saying: 'evo- lution does not teach that man sprang from a monkey and 1t Is said that he was questioned closely about the matter by a lawyer not engaged on either side of the case. and it was found that he had not gone so far as to teach that man has descended from lower form of animals and had not really violated the law"
 MT. Cantrill said the caption of the Tennessee law is broader than the law itself. Tt will be seen that the word 'evoluton' does not ap- pear in the body of the enactment. that the legislature assumes that to teach that man is descended from lower order of animal would amount to a denial of the story of the divine creation of man as taught by the Bible. Therefore in the last analysis the one and only thing that is made unlawful Is the teaching in tax-supported schools that man is descended from lower form of ani- mal.'
 The act has nothing 10 do with the general subject of evolution and nothing to do with the antecedent of any creature except man in that it simply undertakes to prevent any teacher from going back of the missing link in teaching the geneal- logy of the human family.x XXI
 The act was unnecessary, but probably entirely harmless"

CONGRESS ASKED
 ID TAKE ACTION
Federal Trade Commission Re- ports on Anthracite Industry

Washington, July Rp-Congress Is asked in report by the federal trade commission to take steps to re- store the anthracite industry to a normal competitive basis" and thus assure an adequate supply at req sonable prices.
 The report, dealing with past high prices of the fuel, viewed persist. ent efforts of the department of jus tice to' disintegrate the anthracite combination" as successful to a large degree and suggested similar action by congress to obvlate high premium prices In times of actual or antici- patcd shortage. Complete restora- lion of competition ins the industry. In the opinion of the commission, would be preferable to price regula- tion
 Of the SS,o00,oOO tons of anthra- cite mined annually. 7U per cent was said to have been produced by eight large companies, now or recently owned by or affiliated with railroads, and that the remainder was pro- duced by 100 independent compan- Is. The commission reported that the railroad coal companies publish cd prices periodically but that they failed to reflect current changes in supply and demand, while the indc- pendents simply took the highest price obtainable.
 Development of a public statistical organization to publish regularly in formation regarding the industry and coal prices was recommended, along with suggestion that greater price reductions be effected in the late spring and summer to encourage earlier buying by private consumers.
 The commission credited the high coal prices in 1922 to an actual shortage but similar top prices charged by independent operators in 1923 were held due to anticipated shortage. A wide range of prices at the mine in the fall of 1923 also was. declared to have enabled whoesal- CTS to exact large profits after the brief strike in September of that year. Speculation among whoIesal CTS was held by the commission 10 have figured in the high price. of an thracite in 1923, much coal being re- ported 10 have passed through two or more wholesalers before reaching the retailer.

Federal Officials Want Mail
Bandit to Finish Term-Con-
necticut Wants Him
BY international News service.

INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 20.-A legal
contest was anticipated today when
two New Britain, Conn, detectives
arrived here with instructions to
take Gerald Chapman, New York
mail robber. to Connecticut TO face a
murder charge growing out of the
Staying of a patrolman.
Three deputy wardens from the
Atlanta Federal prison, where Chap
man was a prisoner until December
30. 1923, when he made a sensational
escape, also were to arrive today to
take the bandit in charge.
While ii was believed the New
Britain authorities would meet with
little success In attempting TO super
cede Federal claims on Chapman,
kilograms received by the United
States marshal here indicated there
would be a contest.
The one hope of the Connecticut
authorities of claiming Chapman.
while he is under sentence in a
Federal prison, would be to appeal 10
Attorney General Harlan F. Stone
for the bandits release to face 4
murder charge involving capital pun
ishment, in the opinion of the United
States marshal here.
The prisoner today was certain he
had been removed to Atlanta.
Why worry about that?" he coun-
tered, when asked if he realized the
seriousness of the charge he faced in
Connecticut.
They'll take me back TO Atlanta
and I've only served a little better
than six months of q twenty-five

I'll be dead. more than likely, by
the time that is finished so what
would be the use of pressing the

that he shot the New Britain police

Although only thirty.seven, he is

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, Jan.
2O.-According to James +. Ben
nett, president of the Babcock
Printing Press Company of New
York, Eve, in the Garden OF
Eden, was a bootlegger.
In an address in Port Jervls

ciared, years ago the laws in
effect to restrict the liquor bust
ness were violated as much as
the Volstead law today is vlo-
lated. In fact, man has been
bootlegger since the dawn OF
creation. Eve was bootlegger
when she ate of the forbidden
fruit and today there are men
who do all they can to evade
the automobile laws, said Mr..
Bennett.
Men have always had a pen
chant for breaking the law, and
the dry law is no exception, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bennett.
