SCOPES ATTORNEYS
RUSH AFF|DAWTS
FOR TRIAL RECORD
Will Get Substance of Ex-
perts' Testimony Before
Jury That Way.
By the Associated Press.

DAYTON. Tenn, July 18.-7While
Judge Raulston and attorneys for the
prosecution rested today after the
arduous duties of the week, counsel
for the defense of John T. Scopes.
charged with violating the Tennessee
anti-evolution statute, busted them
selves with the preparation of scien-
tific affidavits.
These will be brought into court
Monday for the purpose of entering
them into the record. Primarily they
will show in detail the theory OF evo-
luton in an endeayor to conform 1t to
the story of creation as recorded in
the Bible.
Shorn of all hope of producing their
scientific witnesses in court to testify
from the stand. defense attorneys,
after the ruling OF Judge Raulston
yesterday, resorted to this method of
having their testimony placed on rec
ord for the information of the presid-
ing judge and to reveal to the Appel
late Court the nature of the evidence
they would have submitted.
Raulston Approves Move.
Permission to do this was granted
by Judge Raulston yesterday after his
ruling that such evidence was not
relevant. Exceptions by defense coun-
sci followed. after which II was agreed
that the statements should be pre-
pared and admitted to the record.
While Dayton moved calmly and
seemingly unruffled about its business,
heated statements from members Of
the defense counsel seemed to indicate
that storm clouds were brewing in
those quarters. The first indication
came yesterday in the form of none
from Clarence Darrow TO Judge Raul
ston.
Several of the scientists called to
testify today We're preparing to return
TO their respective homes after plac-
ing their testimony in affidavit form.
Maynard NJ. Metcalf, former head of
the geological department of Oberlin
College, and first scientific, witness
for the defense, left early today.
The exclusion of exrert testimony
was characterized by John r. Neal,
chief counsel for the defense. as death
for the last hope of the defense" for
winning the trial.
Clarence Darrow was more ve-
hement in his declaration that the
defense would seek justice in the
higher courts" In 9, statement issued
late yesterday, he asserted that VII
liam Jenning Bryan was responsible
for shifting the scales in favor of the
prosecution.

Riff Propaganda Continues.

Abd-el-Krim is continuing his eff
fective propaganda, Riffian agents
poisoning the minds of the friendly
tribes against the French and trying
to upset the spiritual authority of the
Sultan. Some of the agents have
worked we'll into the interior, many
miles south of the Ouergha Valley.
The Riffian chief hopes that by stir
ring up the tribes to resistance he
may be able to reach Fez withou
having to use his picked regulars in
a bloody drive, or at least reserve
them to deliver a decisive blow
His tactics oblige the French to
keep unremitting vigilance. There
are countless small actions along the
front, and these, although usually
ending in serious slaughter of the at
tacking tribesmen, are wearing on the
defenders.
A strong force of Riffians has cut
the highroad at Ain Aisha and is
maintaining steady rife fire against
that post.

4 GENTLE HINT TO RI MANIA

II Is clear that Rumania regards Uncle Sam as a sort of rich uncle who dorsnt really need the money owed him. The Rumanian govern mcnt. in making refundng arrange ments with other nations but failing to do so with the money owing the United States, thereby gave notice that 1t did not think repayment to the United States was a prime es- sential just at this time,
 The fact that the Rumanian loans were made as relief measures since the end of the war means they were not war loans; but they were not re- garded as charity, either. It was a matter of putting Rumania on her feet. and now that she is on her feet we evidently are considered as grasping in limiting repayment ie common honesty.
 But Uncle Sam, not wishing to be more of an easy mark than he has to be. is throwing off a little foeler about the loans.
 There is an adage that an easy way to lose friend is to loan him money. Uncle Sam must be begin ming 10 think there is some truth ir it.

MORE PROOF WOMEN
 EQUAL MEN

Women nowadays are credited with being able 10 do most of the things that men are engaged in, so that it perhaps was not surprising to learn from Little Rock, Ark, that a woman who had been sen tcncod to life Imprisonment had ef- fccted her freedom by saving three bolts from the window of her cell.
 Of course, like most men who saw their way to freedom under such circumstances. che was no better able 10 retain it and was caught when she had fled as far as Memphis, Tenn.
 A woman jail-brcaker is at least novelty. But they don't get into jail as frequently as men.

LOVES HER DADDY
 THE BEST OF ALL
Miss Mackay Wouldn't Leave
 Him for Any Man

New York, April 16,--Miss Ellen Mackay, society debutante, says she has not met the man for whom she would leave her father.
 Returning yesterday from Europe, on the steamship Olympic she proudly linked arms with her fath- CT, Clarence H. Mackay, president of tho Postal Telegraph Cable and Commercial companies, and when asked specifically about report that she was engaged to Irving Berlin, composer, denied the rumor with the assertion that it was natural for people to expect a girl to marry soon after she made her debut.
 T am not engaged to any one" she said.'
 T don't understand how such report could be started. It is true that l have met Mir, Berlin at Q number of parties, but l have met many men at social events, and don't see that this calls for the cre- ation of something out of nothing,
 "The truth of the matter is that Il I were 10 marry. I would surrender the companionship l have with my father. If I married l would leave dad alone and l cannot bear to think of parting with him. I have not mel the young man would marry anc give up my father"
 A newspaper reporter who asked If Miss Mackay might marry a pool man some day, demurred when sh' asked if he intended his question a a proposal. ~

PRESIDENTS RECORD AS HAND SHAKER

The greatest hand-shaking bee In the history Of the American presi- dency is under way. Statistics arc not kept as to the actual number of hands various presidents have shaken but it Is certain none have ever surpassed NIr Coo}ijEo's totals the past week.
 The President seems 10 like i,, He apparently does not fear another viper with a hidden pistol under a bandaged arm, such as shot down the great Mckinley. Asked by his aids to foregO excessive handshak- ing. the President merely grinned, braced his feet and kept right at it. His shake" is said 10 be the quick est and most gripping ever seen in the White House.
 Why visiting citizens to the capital insist on shaking hands with the chief executive is a mystery to every one until he himself takes a pleasure jaunt to the Pearl of tiss Potomac,

Washington justice depart ment is getting stacks of appeals for mercy for poor old Doe Cook. His arrival at Leavenworth, penni- less, broken down and pitiful, with his pathetic bundle of fancywork under ms arm, just as the oil in- dictments against Albert B. Falll. the Dohenys and Harry Sinclair were being quashed,r seems to have struck a. good many people as a little too raw coincidence.
 In connection with the dismissal of the indictments against the ex- secretary of the interior and the multi millionaire oil men accused with him, some rather unkind things are being said about the justice de- pertinent.
 These true bills were thrown oug because o. E. Pagan, departmental Indictment expert, was in the grand jury room when they were voted on' despite the fact that the oil inquiry had been taken out of the depart ment's hands and turned over to special counsel. Now, If Pasan's presence invalidated the indictments why was he there? Didn't he, as an indictment expert, know any better? Or did somebody deliberately want the indictments to be invalid?
 One or the other of these two surmises must fit the situation.

THE WHEELER BILL AND
 PUBLIC SENTIMENT

There has been much illumination pro and con regarding the Wheeler bill and at the state house hearing much of a yitrioic nature gained currency.
 The basis for being for and against the bill or it's amendments is altogether predicated upon per sonaI opinion, Radical prohibition lsts who oppose indulgence in any thing stronger than ginger ale favor the bill on general principles, re- gardlcss of whether or not it can be enforced suitably and fairly; those who favor the occasional drinking of hard liquor are opposed to any more stringent regulation of personal liberty.
 Whether 1t is possible to enforce law which large proportion of citizens regard as obnoxious remains the chief practical obstruction 10 bone dry connections such as the Wheeler bill or it's proposed amend ment. It would be much easier to enforce such a legal instrument in many western states; indeed, h. diana and Nebraska this year passed legislation that goes further than the Wheeler bill. But there is no doubt that there is a bigger proportion Of prohibition sentiment in western rural states than there is in indus trial Connecticut.
 So far as facilitating the searching of premises is concerned, this un- American procedure will be froWncd down upon in every community where the belief that mans home is his castle still prevails. If refer endum were taken it would be found that Nutmcggers want none of this inouisitorial remnant of medieval times. As everyone is very well aware, the homes of the poor would he much more frequently searched than the mansions of the rich.
 We are living in foolish times, We show an inclination to pile law upon law. hoping to change human na- ture in the process and failing dis mallv as each new legal stone le placed in the pyramid. Thomas Jef- ferson said that society is best gov erncd which is governed the least but the modern Jeffersons, and the modern Hamiltons, and the moderr Iincolns-all weak derivatives o' ilustrious men of vision ane acbievements-reverse the process and think a community is governed hest which has the most laws. Wha really happens Is that more laws art Ignored.
 Before prohibition became a na tional institution the campaign against the liquor traffic was gain ing rapid headway. Many states hat purged themselves of demon run and others were on the brink; bu some others were giving slight evi dence of such a tendency.
 Came the passage of the nationa law and immediately the impossibI was attempted by transferring th social custome Of such states as ha desired prohibition to such states a did not desire it. Social reform b force has made just about as muc headway in such states as cou have been expected The mai trouble seems to be that many goo people expected too much.
