Town Gets Case.
BY the Associated Press.


DAYTON, Tenn, May 2O.-F'irst
blows in Tennessee's famous evolution
fight have been struck.
The blows were literal, however, in
stead of legal, and were exchanged
between a proponent and an opponent
of evolution at a meeting of Dayton
citizens to protest against a contem-
plated move by Chattanooga to rush
TO court a case testing the Tennessee
anti-evolution teaching law ahead of
the trial of J. T. Scopes of Dayton.
An assertion by DR.. George Rap
pleyea, evolution leader. who swore
out the warrant for Scopes arrest to
test the law that man evolved from
lower forms of life, was resented by
Thurlow Reed. Dayton barber as a
reflection on his family, and he dashed
to tine restrum and attacked Rapple-
yea.

prominent individuals, including Will
liam Jennings Bryan, Dudley Field
Malone and Clarence Darrow, enlisted
in the fight which will center around
the Tennessee legislation, now
apparent that a pre-legal c is on
for the honor of staging til Ourt bat
tie.

the case of Scopes, who, as a biology
teacher in a county high school, dis
cussed the theory of evolution after
reading a passage from an authorized
State text book, does not meet until

sion at Chattanooga now and reports
from that point indicated that an
effort would be made to have Chat.
tanooga teachers indicted, with pros
poets of the trial opening in June.
A resolution adopted at the meeting
here threatened to boycott Chatta-
nooga unless efforts to change the
place of the contest were dropped.

the proposed test case were reported
reluctant to accept the honor of in
dictment.

u. s. FEARS BOOST
IN GERMAN TARIFF
End of Auto Trade Is Seen
as One Result of Policy
Now Proposed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 20.-Relatively large
tariff changes affecting the chemical
industry are contemplated by the
German government. This is prin-'
cipally because foreign countries
which, before the war, were exten-
sively supplied with chemicals by
Germany have since started their
own chemical industries, often with
government aid a..d high tariff pro-
lection. 1t is proposed that aniline
dyes will continue to be admitted
tariff free in Germany, but that the
tax on mineral dyes will be increased
In pharmaceutical products, only
medicines of inferior quality will be
given increased duties.
The proposed new tariff contem-
plates tariff increases on rye, wheat
barley and oats, in the hope of
stabilizing agricultural prices and
increasing production.
1t is also proposed to establish a
duty on meats, lard and fats, in order
to protect the German farmers from
the competition of imported Argen-
tine meats.
See End of Auto Trade.
Most morning newspapers reserve
editorial comment upon the proposed
tariff which contemplates sweeping
protection of industrial products, es-
pecially automobiles and tractors. and
the protection of agricultural
products.
The proposed tariff on automobiles
will definitely bar American cars
from the German market, American
business men here believe.
The Socialist and Communist news
papers and the conservative Boersen
Zeitung strongly attack the proposed
tariff, while the Catholic Germania,
read by many Catholic workers. and
the Democratic Volks Zeitung criticize
the agriculture tariffs.
Voerwarts says the tariff proposes
an alliance of the agrarian and in
dustrial interests and say the Social
lists were largely actuated by disap-
proval of the governments tariff
plans when they introduced a motion
of non-confidence in the government
in the Reichstag yesterday.
Tariff Is Scored.
The Rote Fahne says the proposed
tariff contains what "even a German
junker paradise has thus far not heard
CA duty on potatoes"
The Boersen Zeitung confesses its
grave disappointment that the indus
trial duties are so low.
The tariff proposes a duty of
! marks per 100 kilos about 220 pounds)
on rye; $50 marks per 100 kilos on
wheat; 2 marks per 100 kilos on barley
and marks per 100 kilos on oats.
A duty of 20 marks per 100 kilos is
proposed on frozen and canned meats;
"a marks per 100 kilos on bacon and
marks per 100 kilos on lards and
fats.
Some American busines men here
have been already inclined to view
the proposed new tariff policy as vio-
lating the most favored nation clause.
George F. Bauer Of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, who is touring Ger
many for the purpose of studying
trade prospects, said:
"A prohibitive duty on automobiles
as now contemplated. is an indirect
discrimination against American
trade"

OF $4,000 has been set for the fund Thonc reports
that to date the ordinary citizen has surpassed
the scientist both in the number and size Of contri-
buttons.
During the trial at Dayton, Scopes seemed to
have been pushed into the background. Apparently
he completely overshadowed by the dominant
figures of Clarence Darrow, the late William Jen-
nings Bryan and the others.
But the scientific world did not lose sight Of
Scopes. They were greatly pleased, first because
his courage in bringing the Tennessee law to test
and secondly, because of his quiet dignificd conduct
during and after the trial. His refusal, for example,
to capitalize the trial by going on the lecture plat
form pleased leading scientists.
As result, the scientists who had been most
concerned with the trial organized the movement
to raise the scholarship fund to enable Scopes to
carry his studies and obtain his degree of Doctor
Of Philosophy
Meanwhile, plans are being made by the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union to continue the fight
against the Tennessee anti-cvolution law. An advis-
ory committee consisting not only of scientists but
of ministers we'll has been appointed to carry on
the fight.
