CASE In COURT

did not exist at the time that the
papers were served, and cited several
cases of similar character which es-
tablished presidents in like actions.
In each of these, according to the
defense attorney, the paddock order
was withdrawn.
District Attorney Powell attacked
the two main points raised by the de-
Tense in a vigorous manner. There
is nothing to assure us" he said
shat Rein won't be back there to-
morrow morning to continue his old
tricks unless the paddock is made per
manent. The defendants show that
they have encouraged him by signing
his bonds, accepting his rent. The
court does not have to show that the
nuisance continued up to the time the
papers were signed.
Dancing In Grocery Unusual
"The defendants knew what Rein
was doing in their property. They
read the papers, They saw stories
of his arrests. They even signed his
bonds. They knew that a grocery
store out in the woods with no homes
nearby at all could not. prosper. One
does not ordinarily find dancing go
ing on in a grocery store. A land
lord should know what is going on
in his place"
With the closing of the testimony
the court declared his intentions of
giving out his decision at a later
time.

KenOshG County Woman Operates
Mission In Midst of Warfare
Miss Katherine L. Schaeffer Writes of Difficulties of Keeping
Mission Open in Center of
Chinese battle-ground

To conduct successfully mission
In foreign land is in itself no sim
pie task but to operate a mission in
the center of district in constant
warfare and still carry on the work
of the church is recognized as an al
most herculean task. Yet a Kenosha
county woman has been able to do
just that. Miss Katherine l.. Schaef-
fer, formerly of the town of Somers,
and now missionary at Kachek,
Hainan Island, China, spreading the
principles of Christianity to the ma
tives there, is located in a district
which at present is in the center of
the hostile area. And the warfare
isn't of the spasmodic kind. Every
little while some new general takes
it into his head to corall his army
and go out for little excitment,
and the inhabitants of the nearby
territory suffer
The Mission of which the Kenosha
county woman is the leader is the cen
ter of refuge for most of the women
folk and children in the neighborhood.
And it is in this way that it is
able to do so much good for the help
less inhabitants.
Long Time to Get to Mission.
Miss Schaeffer relates that she re-
turned to Hainan last November after
a brief sojourn here, but was unable
to proceed to Kachek, an interior town
in which the mission is located, until
Sfay of the following year. The mis-
sion station had been closed by Ameri-
can authorities pending the settle
ment of the international diplomatic
rift hat had occurred between Ameri-
ca and China following the death of
the American Byers at the hands of
Chinese bandits.
In January of this year, according
to Miss Schaffer, American Consul
Hamilton came to Hainan and remain
ed there for four months. During this
time he negotiated a satisfactory set
tlement and then Miss Schaffer was
able to proceed to opening the mis-
sion station.
Consul Hamilton advised that our
property here should be enclosed with
a wall" Miss Schaeffer continues in
her interesting story of the past few

where the supreme court hears cases
in September.
In connection with the perfection
of the appeal it was pointed out that
a new lineup of lawyers may be found
when the case is heard in Knoxville.
John r. Neal, as senior counsel was
expected to represent the defense but
his associates may not be those who
appeared in the trial court.
DIR. Neal said that he was not pre-
pared to announce who would speak
for the defense at Knoxville.
Frank Thompson, attorney general
of Tennessee will by virtue of his Of
fee, represent the state in the case.
Might Try in Both Courts.
A possibility was indicated that an
effort may be made to have the evolu-
ton issue tried concurrently in state
and federal courts.
A petition from Robert M. Wilson,
Rhea Springs tax payer, is available
for presentation to feeral court
setting forth the contention that the
anti-evolution statute deprives him of
the right to properly educate his
children in the public schools in VOL
alton of the provisions of the consti-
tuition of the United States.
John R. Neal has announced that he
will present this petition to Judge Ben
Hicks, United States district court, at
Knoxville when a favorable opportun-
ity offers.
Scopes who will not appear actively
in the case until December, when his
bond is returnable, will probably start
soon on a lecture tour.

In Washington Too.

Washington, D. C. Treas
ury officials were ordered by a local
court today to show cause why the
salaries of school officers here should
not be withheld because of the teach
ing of scientific doctrines alleged to
reflect on the bible.
The defendants are Frank White,
treasurer of the United States; James
R. Lusby, disbursing officer of the
District of Columbia, and Daniel j
Donovan, auditor of the District of
Columbia.
They were ordered by the District
of Columbia supreme court on the
petition of Loren H. Wittner a tax
payer, to appear and show cause on
July %.
The suit brought. by Wittner was
based on provision in the last Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill.
In that bill, said Wittner's petition,
congress provided that no part of the
money appropriated should be used
to pay salary of "any superintendent
who permits the teaching
or of any teacher who teaches
disrespect for the Holy Bible"
Hold Back Pay.
Under that provision it is sought to
stop the pay of Frank w. Ballou, su-
perintenent of schools in Washington,
and w. P. Hay, head of the depart
ment of biology and chemistry. A
list of examples is given by Wittner
in his petition as instances in which
Hay taught, and Ballou permitted him
to teach, things described as conflict
ing directly with statements made in
the Bible.
The following examples were in
cluded in the list offered by Wittner:
That man was created from the dust
in one day and that woman was made
from the rib of Adam.
That the dead body Of every human
being that ever lived will be resur-
rected alive on judgment day.
That the first man fell because the
first woman believed what a snake
said about eating forbidden fruit.
That Jesus Christ arose bodily from
the dead when no blood was left in
his veins.
Dispute the Facts.
That God made all the dus of
Egypt turn to lice as a punishment
for the hard heartedness of an Egyp-
tian King.
That God turned every drop of wa
ter in all Egypt into blood to punish
the Egyptian King.
That Jesus turned water into wine
That God turned Lots wife into a
pillar Of salt.
That the earth is fiat and on q
foundation.
That when Joshua commanded, the
sun and moon stood still.
The appropriation bill provision
cited was inserted by Representative
Summers, republican, Washington, at
the last session of congress and oc-
casioned no debate.
Two other provisions in the rider
against the teaching of partisan poll
tics and statement that the Ameri-
can government is an inferior form OF

Dayton, Tenn A misdemean-
or case, carrying as a penalty to the
guilty offender a fine of $100 and
costs of the trial, brought an expen-
diture to the defenders of John Thorn
as Scopes of approximately $4,000.
The actual court costs are estimated
at we'll over $500 or more than treble
the fine assessed by the court for vio-
lation of the statute.
BY far the greatest expense of the
trial, however, has been the cost of
bringing expert witnesses who were
not allowed to testify, from different
parts of the country, defraying their
railroad fare, their hotel bills and
maintaining home for them in Day
ton after their arrival here.
