DAYTON, Tenn. July 22.--In-
terest IN the worlds greatest mis-
idemeanor case, which developed
into passionate warfare between
religious fundamentalists an d
apostles of science during the
trial of John Thomas Scopes, to-
day reverted to the constitution
atty of the Tennessee anti-evolu-
ton law under which he was con-
victed.
Counsel for Scpes were drafting
a "bill of exceptances" for presen-
tation of their appeal of the con-
viction to the Tennessee supreme
court. The appeal will be filed
at Knoxville, within thirty days.
Five Points in Bill
In the, higher court, defense at
torneys announced, they will fight
chiefly to have the law declared
unconstitutional. Every weapon,
however, will be used to reverse
Scopes convection, including ali
the exceptions" taken during The
eight-day trial, The bill OF ex-
ceptions" will include five principal
points. as follows:
l. That Scopes was convicted un-
der an unconstitutional law. which
denied him his guarantees of re-
ligious liberty, freedom of thought
and sacredness of property rights;
2. That the law was doubly an.
constitutional because it was sin
definite containing such contro-
versial terms as the Bible and
the STORY of creation" and the
debateable phrase, Flower order OF
animals;
3. That Scopes was denied fair
trial because the court excluded all
expert defense testimony, interpret
ing the indefinite" law;
a. That he also failed tc get q
fair trial because the court rulGG
he need only be convicted of teach
ing a theory which denied the
Divine creation as recorded in the
King James version of the Bible;
and
5. That the jury was preiudice.i
by the court allowing fundamentals
list prayers at the opening of each
session.

Loren Wilmer. y. S. Clerk,
Brings Action Against
D. c. Officials

The conflict between religion
and science, exemplified in the
Scopes anti-evolution trial in
Tennessee, today came squarely
before the Federal courts of the
District Of Columbia.
Declaring that children in the
National Capital were being
taught "disrespect of the Holy
Bible" Lorne H. Wittner, clerk
in the supplies office of the Inter-
nal Revenue in this city, asked the
District Supreme Court to enjoin
the city's fiscal agents from pay
ing to instructors who teach the
evolutionary theory of the origin
of man in conflict with divine
creation.
Forbidden, He Says
Teaching of evolution, Wittner
said, was expressly forbidden by
Congress in the last District ap-
preparation bill, which provided:
THAT no part of this sum
shall be available for the pay
ment of the, salary of any su.
perintendent who permits the
teaching of, or Of any teacher
who teaches, disrespect of the
Holy Bible"
In his bill of complaints, wittner
cited thirteen specific instances of
''disrespect to the Bible" through
teaching from the approved text
books on natural science. One of
the books singled out was Hunters
Civic Biology,1 for the teaching
of which to his high school stu
dents John T. Scopes was con
victed in Dayton.
Daniel j. Donovan, auditor;
James r. Lusby, disbursing OF.
ficer, and Frank White, treasurer
of the United States, were named
defendants. Frank w. Ballou, su.
perintendent of schools, for APP
proving, and w. P. Hay, head Of
the department of biology and
chemistry, for teaching theories in
cited by Wittner.
Is Test" Case.
The Injunction was filed admitted
" as test case, In much the
same spirit as the Dayton trial was
started to determine by law
whether evolution can be taught by
teachers paid from public funds.
Wittner described himself as a
Federal taxpayer" but said also
he was somewhat Of a hberalist
and wanted this thing settled"
THE only way to settle the issue
raging between Fundamentalist and
Modernist is to test it out in the
courts" Wittner declared.
He said he approved OF the
handling OF the Scopes defense by
Clarence barrow.
II the injunction Is denied.
Wittner said, there would be no
question Of the right of instructors
here to teach natural science. even
though the theories conflicted with
the Bible.
Cites Charges.
Washington children are being
taught disrespect to the Bible.
Wittner said, because the approved
text books:
/. Doubt and contradict the
teachings of the Bible.

NEW YORK. January 15.-The
American Ambassador to Spain, Al
exander P. Moore of Pittsburgh, re-
turned on the Mauretania yesterday
for q. two-month visit after a years
service in Madrid.
He would not comment on a rumor
that his trip home might be in con-
nection with a possible succession tc
the Paris post upon retirement of Mr.
Herrick.
Il wanted to get home in time tC
witness the inauguration of the san
est man in America as President" the
Ambassador said, "and 1 expect tC
return to Spain, country for which
I have a great affection"
Mrs. Mildred A Martin. niece OF
the Ambassador, who has been with
him in Madrid said she came home
for a much needed rest.
Uncle does nothing but entertain
. and it keeps me busy she said. Il
believe he actually inspects the no.
tel registers to see if any new Amer
s leans have arrived whom he might
ask to the house"
Mr.. Moore laughed and then re-
called the amazement Of certain
Spanish politicians who could not
understand how the Amba ssadOr. as
a Republican appointee, could enter
tain John W. Davis, a defeated Demo
cratic candidate.
Il told them Mr.. Davis was my best
friend as he made it possible for
Coolidge to win by 100000 votes, y
he said. And the joke went all over

The Spanish people felt that the
peace and stability of the world had

He said there was no tension with

spAcinI nisnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, January 1.-THE full
bench of the State supreme court
ruled that an operator of an auto
mobile does not have to be visibly
Intoxicated to be arrested for driving
while under the influence of liquor.
The decision overruled the exceptions
of Earl O. Lyseth of Lowell. who was
sentenced to the House Of Correction
for six months.
THE commonwealth is not required
to prove the defendant was drunk, -
says the decision of the court. TT is
wholly immaterial whether the de-
PENDANT exercised due care to avoid
injury to other travellers. He could
be convicted even if there were no
travellers on the street.
Whatever difficulties there may be
in framing a definition of inebriety,
which falls short of. or constitutes,
drunkenness, there is a distinction
between the crime on the one hand
and merely being under. the influence
of liquor on the other. which is
recognized in common speech, in
ordinary experience and in judicial
decisions"
