MOB MOVES JAP
MILL WORKERS
Orientals Put in Trucks,
Sent Out of County
in Oregon
(By the Associated Press)


TOLEDO, Ore. July 13.-Overcoming
the resistance Of armed guards Of the
Pacific Spruce Corporations mill at To-
ledo, Ore, mob of about 400 men,
women and children rounded up the
company's Japanese laborers yesterday,
loaded them and their belongings into
motor cars and trucks and carried them
beyond the county line, leaving them to
shift for themselves.
No weapons were used in the fighting
with the guards. but fist fights were
general, and several Of the mill force
and townsmen were severely beaten.
Martin Guermer. Charles A. Buck and
w. S. Colver, alleged leaders of the mob,
were arrested and the mob dispersed
The names of at least so other partici-
pants were taken by officers, it was
said.
The trouble was the elimination Of
disagreement of several weeks stand
ing between certain laboring groups and
the company over the, employment of
Japanese labor at the company's saw
mill The march on the spruce mill fol-
lowed a brief but fiery mass meeting
in the streets at which agitators ha-
rangued the crowd. The mob was led
by a man waving an American flag.
None of the Japanese were injured.

BURNED TRAIN
Bodies From Wreckage
After Oil Fire on M.-
KIT. Near Taylor Be-
lieved to Be Tramps
{ BY The Associated Press)

TAYLOR. Texas. July 13.-Three bod
had been recovered early today from
the debris of the MKT. freight train
which was wrecked and burned four
mills south Of here Sunday afternoon.
Eighteen oil tank cars and two box cars
were destroyed, the total loss mounting
into hundreds of thousands of dollars
The bodies were so badly burned that it
is thought Identification will be impos-
sibe.
About all that is determined is that
the men were either white or Mexicans.
1t is declared they were not negroes.
All are believed to have been tramps, a
party Of whom is said to have boarded
the train north of Taylor.
The wreckage was still burning this
morning, but officials on the spot stated
they believed all bodies had been recov-
cred. The bodies were brought to an
undertaking establishment at Taylor.
Funeral arrangements have not been
made.
The fire on the train started yester-
day Immediately following series of
explosions which were heard distinctly
at Taylor. Flames then shot into the
air to a height of several hundred feet.
The train was carrying so cars and
no trainmen were in the vicinity Of the
explosion. None of them was hurt.
The cause Of the explosion is a matter
Of conjecture. the general opinion being
that one of the tramps was smoking
and ignited oil or gas in one of the
tank cars. The cars were loaded with
gasoline. An accurate estimate of the
loss to the railway company could not
be made by officials here, but it was
stated that the disaster probably was
the most serious the road had ever suf-
fered.
Passenger trains are being routed
around by Austin over the International
Great Northern tracks. The main line
is expected to be cleared of the wreck
age some time today or tonight.

DAYTON, Tenn, July 13-The
Methodist Episcopal church (North)
here was pastorless today as a result
of week end activities in the evolution
controversy. The minister, Howard
Gale Byrd announced yesterday that
he had withdrawn from the charge
after members Of his congregation
protested to him against the proposed
preaching in their church of DR..
Charles Francis Potter, Unitarian
clergyman of New York City.
DR.. Potter, exponent of modernist
doctrine, who became widely known
through series of debates with Dr..
John Roach Straton, New York City,
spokesman for the fundamentalists,
had been invited by Mr.. Byrd to oc-
cupy his pulpit on Sunday morning.
DIR. Potter accepted and announced he
would speak on the subject "Evolu-

When approximately so of the
church's membership of 81 made pro-
test to the pastor, warning him that
DR.. Potters appearance might cause
disruption of the congregation, the

Million and Half Securi-
ties to Be Used in Prof.

The board of county commits
sioners today called an election
for Tuesday, August Is, to vote
on the question Of floating the
bond issue Of 81, 100000 for the
purpose of CARRYING out the
Cameron County flood control
project.
1t was at first thought that
August % Saturday would be
selected as the day for the cleo
ton, but the court members
changed the plan.
The bond issue was the first order Of
business before the court when it open
ed for the regular July session this
morning. County Judge Oscar C. Daney
had all details arranged in advance, MEM
bers Of the court having previously con-
sidered the appointment Of special
judges for the election.
The bond election is called in com
pliance with the law passed by the last
session of the legislature authorizing
the remission to Cameron county for a
period of 25 years all ad valorem taxes
in excess of ten cents. Cameron coun-
ty, according to Judge Dancy, will be
called upon in 1926 to pay an increased
: x of 20 cents in connection with the
issue, but he ancipiates that this in
crease will be for one year only.
The state advalorem tax has been 35
cents almost from time immemorial,
says Judge Dancy, of which amount 25
cents will be remitted to Cameron
county.
In order to be certain that all pre-
liminary details in connection with the
issue are in legal order, Judge Dancy

An old woman who waved a green

Court Hears Defense
Move to Quash Bill
On Evolution Charge

. States. Of the others. one set forth
"that the indictment is so vague as not
to inform the defendant of the nature
and cause of the accusation against
him."
Claim Statue Indefinite
A second claim said "that the statute
upon which the indictment is based is
subject to the same infirmity because
it is so indefinite as not to enable the
defendant to know what is forbidden
and therefore amounts to delegation
by the legislation of power to courts
and juries to determine what act shall
be held criminal and punishable
There is no legislative warrant for
the delegation of such power to courts
and juries Of the state" it was claim
ed, and added the act violates the
whole spirit of both the state constitu-
tion and the constitution cf the United
States and against the policy of the
law" Section n, article 2 Of the state
constitution was violated. it was claim
-. The provision cited reads:
mo bill shall become a law which
embraces more than one subject. that
subject to be expressed in the title
Mr.. Neal called attention of the court
TO what he termed general lack of in
formation as to the power of the court
to rule on the constitution. He said
many otherwise well informed lawyers
did not know that the court this au-
thority and was sworn to uphold it as
an officer of the state.
He called attention to the language
Of the Bible in telling the story of crea-
tion and said that every one might have
different Interpretation of the 'di.
vine story of creation"
Hayes Speaks for State
During Mr.. Meals argument, the at
torney general moved that the jury re-
tire. This developed mild clash be-
tween Attorney General Stewart and
Clarence Darrow. Mr.. Darrow at first
said 1--WE do not object Mr.. Stewart
replied sit does not matter whether
you do or not. The court is the Judge
Of that. \" After a general exchange of
comments from attorneys Dudley Field
Malone and Arthur Garfield Hays, the
court ordered that the jury be permit
ted to retire.
1--WE know the legislature represents
the majority in Tennessee, but we re-
present the minority" said Mr. Neal in
concluding.
Former Attorney General Ben G. Nc
kenzie made the first argument for the
state, defending the constitutionality
OF the act in question. He said reli-
gion could not be taught and neither
could a doctrine. The veteran noun
tain lawyer used many SMILES and col
loquilisms in his plea.
'Noww Mr.. Hays" the aged Tennes-
see lawyer drawled, ''has dragged in his
proposed statute which would hang a
man on the courthouse lawn, an act not
nearly as much akin to the evolution
law as he says we are kin to the mon
key" Mr.. Malone filed an objection
with the court to Mr.. McKenzie's argu-
ment, suggesting that it was not being
restricted to the issue. He also sug-
gested that the speaker not refer to
