Scopes attorneys filed petition for
a federal Injunction to halt the Day,
ton trial before the federal court
here this afternoon 4
DAYTON, Tenn, July 6.-The statt
of Tennessee took the offensive today
in the evolution case when the Rhea
county court met to select a Jury
panel for the trial of John T. Scopes,
youthful high school teacher, on
charges of violating the states anti
evolution law.
Sixteen justices of the peace, COM
prising the court, convened TO NOM
mate twenty-five citizens of Rhea
county as the first jury panel.
The prospective jurors were chosen
under the Oldest rules in American
jurisprudence, each justice being le-
gally empowered to name his person
al choices. The resulting venire will
be certified by County Judge B. Cor
don Mckenzie, and served with sub
poenas for appearance in court next
Friday.
Under the Tennessee law, the state
and defense each has but three per-
emptory challenges and after that all
|repections must be made for cause.
This limitation, it was universally ad-
mitted, will make the selection OF a
jury comparatively easy.
If this venire should be exhausted
without jury being selected, the
presiding Judge is empowered under
the law to call additional veniremen
out of the courtroom or from the
street. In this manner, the jury. will
be chosen. The simplicity, It was
said, results from the fact that
Scopes offence is only misdemeanor
and does not even carry Jail penalty.
While the panel is being drawn, a
wave of unrest swept the town due
to the defense's announced intention
to seek a federal Injunction stopping
the trial. At an early hour no such
move had been made by Scopes him
self or by any Of the Dayton attor-
neys.
Scopes however, has signed the
papers necessary for the filing of a
federal injunction, leaving it to his
attorneys to take whatever steps they
deem advisable.

KLUXERS COON
TRIAL FOR RAPE
AND KILLING

NOBLDSVILLE, Ind, July 6.-An
impenetrable maze of rumors and
counter rumors yelled the atmosphere
here today when the so-calIed Steph-
enson-Gentry-Klenck murder trial got
under way before Circuit Judge Hines.
The defendants, David c. Stephen
son, deposed grand dragon of the In
diana Ku Klux Khan, Earl Gentry and
Earl Klenck, stand charged with muir
der in connection with the death of
Miss Madge Oberholtzer.
Refused Girl Aid.
It is conceded by the prosecution
that the girl bought the poison and ad.
ministered it herself swhile alone. 1t
is charged, however,i in the four
counts OF the indictments against the
three defendants that, first, she was
kidnapped and "by force of arms and
duress was forced to take bichloride
OF mercury and refused medical atten-
ton by defendants" II
Second, that the defendants refused
to permit her to summon medical aid.
Third, that the injuries and wound
inflicted by the defendants fastened
her death.
Took Poison.
FOURTH that the poison was self-ad-
ministered while she was mentally
distracted because of Ill treatment by
the defendants.
Following legal technicalities the
court ruled that Gentry would be put
on trial first. This ruling has caused
the prosecution to confer as to the
best methods OF procedure. 1t was ru-
mored that the charges against
Klenck and Gentry may be dismissed
and Stephenson placed on trial.
No matter how 1t turns out both
sides expect it will take a week to
select a jury.

Anti Johannes Rintala
Is Held In $1,000 Bail

Duluth, Mimi, May 26.-Antti
Johannes Rintala is held in $1,000
bail, set in a bearing before Immi-
grafton Inspector o. S. Remington
after his arrest in Two Hafbors on the
charge Of illegal entry. Rintala was
accompanying his 10 year old daugh-
ter on a tour of the country. SINCE,
the daughter is an accomplished
singer and has been in concret in
various parts of the United States.
This arrest comes on the heels of
the prosecution of Mrs. Sauna Kan
nasta, who aside from being charged
with mal-entry, is also held under
the wartime Passport Act. Mrs.
hannaSto, who like Rintala, is Fin
msh, was arrested on the information

of the proceeds of the entertainments
going to the aid of Finnish claSs-war

Observe Telephone
Golden Anniversary

Fifty years ago this week-on June
2, lS75--Dr. Alexander Graham Bell
inventor of the telephone, for the first
time succeeded in transmitting sound
over his new invention.
However, it was not until March of
the next year that he. uttered the
words, "Mr. Watson, come here; |
want YOU" which have since become
famous as the first ineligible SEN
tence heard over an electric telephone
and which marked the beginning of
telephony.
Telephone men, the world. over, are
already making preparations to COM
memofate this event i'm 1926 and to
erect an appropriate memorial to DR..
Bell. This will be built in America,
it is expected, for it is here that the
telephone was invented and where its
development has reached its highest
state.
Dir. Bell followed his fathers voca-
ton, teaching the dumb to speak. This
work carried him far into the me-
chanics of sound where he conceived
the idea Of the telephone.
Although there have been refine
ments of the instrument, the principle
of the telephone of today are those
found by its discoverer.
Even with an inventors optimism
it Is doubtful that DIR. Bell, while he
was tinkering with his coils and wires
could have forseen the gigantic COM
munieation systems of to-day with
their investment of approximately
$4,000, 100000, their more than To-
100000 telephones, their 100000
miles Of wire and their $4,000 owners.

Post Office Clerks
Speeded Up; Unionis;s
Resist Sweating Plan

Washington, June 2.-Oficers OF
the National Federation of Post Office
Clerks are protesting against attempts
by the post office department to eN-
tend the Chicago speed-up system.
"What a pity that oificialdom-
accept the last syllable if you prefer
must constantly blunder and blum
der" writes Thomas +. Flaherty, edi-
tor of the Union Postal Clerk. The
labor editor says that oificialdom
never learns-and never forgets.'
AT the very time" he said, when
there was a fine chance to capture and
hold that precious quality called
service morale, we see this stupid
bureaucracy imposing a harsh, i'm
practical, harassing system to DIVE
the distributor faster and faster
One of the most effective blows
against the postal speed-up system
was made by Congressman Clyde
Kelly of Pennsylvania, who carried
the fight for the recent postal wage
increase through the house of repre-
sentatives.
"The so-called scientific efficiency
is measured by minutes or hours, bat
the postal worker must measure by
his life," said Mr.. Kelly. THE speed
expert counts on l00-yard dash, but
the postal worker is embarked on tho
race of life Real efficiency does not
depend on a brilliant squirt for a few
years. 1t means retaining a man
best powers through all his working
life.
1.-THE process by which the weight
of mail handled as the test of eff
cheney is not scientific. lis only OBJ
iect is to produce speed and has moth
ing to do with the quality of work per
formed. 1t defeats itself, for 1t is
sure to reduce quality.
81 am everlastingly opposed to the
practice of standing over men with a
lash in order 70 compel them to keep
going under such pressure until they
collapse. The tests are always made
more difficult as they are met by the
employees. The final pace is beyond

such system makes impossible the
