GEE by the Spokesman Review last

GEE by the Spokesman Review last
- week that the receipts from the
Kennewick strawberry fields this
year will be in the neighborhood of
ten thousand cars. That's some crop
even from this country of bountiful
crops. Bankers, if they believe the
reports, will soon be adding additional
storage room in their vaults and the
printing office will put on an extra
crew to print picking and packing
tickets.

EEELING that the people of the
county were entitled to know the
details of their business as handled
by the county officials, this paper
made arrangements with the paper
published at Prosser, whereby the Of
fetal news will be printed in both
towns. This will give the widest pos
sible publicity to the doings of the
county's hired men and the commits
sioners should be commended for
their acquiescence to the plan. We
believe taxpayers generally will voice
their unqualified approval Of the ac-
ton.

scopes, charged with violating the
newly enacted Tennessee law against
teaching evolution in schools of the
state, today was held for action by
the Rhea County grand jury by three
Justices OF peace who conducted pre-
liminary hearing Of the charges.
BOND was fixed at $1,000, but the
State expressed a willingness to ac.

ana the court acquiesced.
Inc defense was built up on a
| theory that the law enacted by the
recent Legislature was .unconstitu-

son, speaking for his two colleagues,
Justices Green and Wilbur, said: 1--WE
feel it is not within our rights
to p II the constitutionality or the
wisdo... of the law. The defendant is
at least technically, if not intention
ally, guilty; hence our decision to hold
him for action by the grand jury"
The case will go before the grand
jury in August.
! Law Passed i'm March.
The act Scopes was charged with
violating was passed at the last SEES
sion of the Tennessee Legislature and
became effective March II.
The preamble to the act designates
1t as an act prohibiting the teaching
of the evolution theory in all uni
versities normal schools and all other
public schools supported in whole or
in part by public school funds of the
State"
The act continues that ii shall be
misdemeanor punishable by a fine
of from 800 to $500 Ito teach any
theory that denies the story of the
divine creation of man as taught in
the Bible and to teach instead that
man is descended from the lower or

John Randolph Neal, counsel for
the defense, denied that the theory
of evolution is contrary to the story
of divine creation taught in the Bible

Would Save Filtered Water.


The great need of this system in
the downtown section pointed out by
those urging its establishment is that
at every big fire the entire equipment
of the fire department is necessary to
night 1t, thus leaving other sections of
the city exposed to danger. The high
pressure water system coming from
the pumping station and pumping
water from the Potomac would elimi-
nate the necessity of all but a few
engines. as the pressure would come
direct from the hydrants.
They point to the fact that prac-
tically every high building in the
downtown area has to have additional
pumping facilities to get water TO the
top of the building. If break oc-
CURED in the conduit from the reser-
voirs such as last year the city would
be helpless if a fire broke out, and
Mr.. Lea and his committee state that
this would be avoided and the filtered
water saved if the pressure system
pumping water from the Potomac was
provided.
1t is stressed by the committee and
Mr.. Lea that when six plugs are now
opened in the downtown area the wa
ter pressure is negligible and that
many engines pumping water into one
fire merely detract the force of each
others stream, With high water pres
sure a forceful and rapid flow would
always be assured.
Would Cost 81 500, 900.
The plan as suggested would call
for the expenditure of 81 800, 600 over
period of three years. This means
an annual appropriation of $500. 900 by
Congress. To install the system the
main would have TO be enlarged and
a pumping station placed on the river
front.
With so much governmental mate
rial and property involved it was
pointed out that the appropriation
would not even have to come as part
of the local budget and that because
of the danger to Federal property it
could be possible for the Federal Gov
eminent 10 appropriate the money
wholly from the Treasury.
1t is pointed out by those interested
that both Commissioners Oyster and
Rudolph, when presidents of the Board
of Trade, strongly advocated the sys-
tenn Representative Zihlman, chair
man of the House District committee,
and many other congressman have
also favored the plan.
Nearly two years ago the Wash
ington Board of Trade, the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce, the Mer
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton and practically every civic or
ganization and club in the District
advocated the high-pressure water
system.
Following the conference with the
Commissioners tomorrow, Mr.. Lea,
as a representative of the Board of
Trade, will endeavor to get the active
cooperation of these organizations
again in an effort to establish a high
pressure system here as soon as pos
sible. Isaac Cans, past president of
the Chamber of Commerce, states his
organization will back the move.

SAYS SHEPHERDS
WERE SUSPECTED
Letter Received by Olson
Purp0rts to Quote Mrs.
MCCIintoCk's Fears.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May "a second letter
purportinG to relate suspicious uttered
by Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock and
concerning William ID. Shepherd and
his wife, the former indicted for the
alleged murder of William N McCIin-
took, was received here today by
Judge Harry Olson. The letter was
written by woman in st. Louis. Mo.
Judge Olson, who was instrumental in
bringing about the Indictment of Shep-
herd, and who furnished evidence
which involved Mrs. Shepherd. refused
to make the letter public.
Numerous new angles of the inves-
tigation are being followed as the re-
suit of letter received earlier this
week from Mrs. NJ Osborne of Hous
ton, Tex. who asserted that Billy
McClintock had expressed the belief
his mother was poisoned by the Shep-
herds, and that they also intended
harming him. She also said that Mrs.
McClintock had referred to the Shep-
herds as human barnacles" and had
expressed distrust of them.

MI. Lea states that in 1922 the eSti-

and the tremendous value of merchan-
disc and materials in these buildings,
Mr.. Lea estimates, would place the
value of property endangered by a
large fire in the downtown area at
nearly $3.50 900 900. He states that
Investigations show that the Federal
Government has property valued at
about half this amount, besides the
