BRYAN MAKES
ARGUMENT IN
SCOPES TRIAL
Verbal Battle Wages Warn,
Over Admission of Scien-
tific Testimony

Courtroom, Dayton. Tenn, July 16,
--CP)-William Jennings Bryan
made his first argument in the
Scopes case this afternoon. lie ad-
dressed the court in support OF an
effort by the state to have scientific
testimony excluded.
Argument on the question of
whether scientific testimony shall
be admitted in the trial Of John r,
Scopes occupied all of the morning
session of the case Of the young
school teacher charged with teach
ing evolution theories and will con
tinue in the afternoon. Court ad-
journed at ll:45 to 1880.
Bert Mckenzie, former attorney
general, spoke in support of the
states opposition to the admission
Of experts testimony. He contended
the admission Of scientific testimony
was outside the issues involved.
The question Of when Judge Raul
ston will rule on the admission Of
testimony came up just before Nc
Kenzie began to speak. II may not
be able to decide this today" Judge
Raulston said.
"We trust you will decide at
once" said Mr.. barrow. Mr.. Malone
broke in: "Your honor, we have
brought witnesses from a great dis
tance; they are busy men and we
would like to have this settled at
once"
"Well," said the court. "we'll see.
l will hear you, General Mckenzie" "
The>court room was thrown into a
gale of laughter by Mr.. Mckenzie S
emphatic denial that the language of
the Bible is ambiguous. Quoting
from the story of divine creation
the speaker said: "This is much
more reasonable story to me than
that God threw a substance into the
sea and said 'in six thousands years
III make something out of you"
Questioned by Arthur G. Hayes
during his argument, Mr.. Mckenzie
asked Mr.. Hayes: "Do you believe
the divine story of creation?"
"That is none of your business -
shouted Mr.. Hayes.
"Then don't ask me any more i'm
pertinent questions" said Mr.. Nc
Kenzie.
At the suggestion Of the court
apologies were exchanged between
the two lawyers.

New York. July l6.-R-Dcmands
for a straight per cent increase in
freight rates for the northwestern
railroads instead Of an IL per cent
advance previously suggested. prob
ably will be formulated at confer
cnces in New York for which repre-
scntatives Of the western roads are
now gathering.
Hale Holden, president of the Bur
lington, arrived in New York yester-
day and asserted that the western
carriers would base their claims for
a per cent increase in rates on the
fact that two years ago they volun-
tarily offered the shipping public re-
lief through a 10 per cent cut in rates
on, farm products. Recent develop
ments, he said, indicated that it was
now the railroads turn to seek re-
lief.
Mr. Holden conferred informally
with Howard Elliott, chairman Of the
Northern Pacific, and directors Of
both this road and the Burlington.
Later conferences are expected to
bring together executives Of these
companies together with officials Of
the Great Northern; Chicago and
Northwestern, and the 500 Line as
we'll as the receivers for the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul. Their joint
request for rate revision probably
will be laid before the interstate COM
merce commission in September.

gone down he found that on going
down a slight incline that he had no
brakes. The drums had contracted
as they cooled and the brakes would
not hold. He had to take them up
again.

between the adjacent rails at each

heat. The workmen finally pred
the rail loose and as the pressure
was relieved the recoil threw the

duck for safety.
