ANTI-EVOLUTION
LAW WOULD SCRAP
SCIENCE BOOKS
tspeeIaI 70 Ths DaIIy workerl


KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 19-Every
science instructor in the state high
schools and all science professors in
the University of Tennessee will be
subject to prosecution should the state
anti-evolution law be found consti-
tutional at the trial Of Professor J.
T. Scopes, young Dayton, Tenn, pro-
fessor for violation of the new law,
DR.. John r. Neal said today.
DR.. Neal, who has been retained to
head the defense counsel for Scopes,
has accepted the offer Of Clarence
Darrow and Dudley Field Malone to
aid in the defense. This trio Of legal
lights will oppose the prosecutors
headed by William Jennings Bryan.
Science textbooks prescribed by the
state textbook commission are based
on the Darwinian theory of evolution
and 20 textbooks used at the univer-
sity of Tennessee also contain
theories OF evolution, according to DR..
Neal.
Every instructor who teaches
science in the public schools with
the present textbooks is guilty Of VIC
lation Of the anti-evolution act" said
DR.. Neal, land If the statute is not
held unconstitutional by the court, we
shall insist on its enforcement by
prosecutions"

diction Of the federal courts and will
be heard by federal district Judge of
the northern district of Ohio. Deci-
sion will be made by the Judge with
out jury.
The workers of this country should
observe in this case how the prin-
ciples OF the constitution are violated
under pretense of defending and up
holding that document.
Under the American constitution
elections are held in which political
differences are decided by the ballot.
Severino has participated in elections
ever since he has been a citizen. In
1922 and 1924 he was the candidate of
the Workers Party for congress in
the 22nd Ohio district. In 1923 he
ran for city council and was in the
field again In the recent counciImanic
campaign, in the 4th district. But if
because of his political views, Seve-
rino is to be deprived of citizenship,
and thus of the right to be a candi-
date and voter, the principle of po-
litical expression thru the ballot will
be set aside in his case. II done in
his case, it can also be done in the
case of other foreign-born Commun-
lists; land others active in the labor
movement), thus preventing the Com
munists from exerting their political
influence thru the ballot.
Whether the Acknowledgement of
Communists is completely carried out
or not, the Acknowledgement of some
Communists is evidence that those
who attack the Communists under the
cloak of constitutionalism do not real
ly believe in the efficacy of democrat
ic government themselves, as they are
not willing to leave the question of
the right or wrong of the Commun-
lists to the decision of the ballot.
Why the Action Against severino3
OF course, this is not done from
any personal desire to place hard
ships upon Severino and his Ameri-
can-born wife and family. No; it is
because of his political beliefs and his
activities in the labor movement.
Severino is one of the thirty-one de-
PENDANTS in the so-called Michigan
case" which resulted from the depart
ment Of justice raid on the Commun-
list convention at Bridgeman, Mich, in
August, 1922. William z. Foster and
c. 2. Ruthenberg, have been tried al
ready in this case, on the charge of
violation of the Michigan criminal
syndicalism law. Fosters jury dis
agreed and Ruthenberg was convict
ed; his case now being before the U.
S. supreme court on appeal.
Max Burger, department of justice
agent, one Of the red specialists" in
the Michigan case, has been active in
the preparation of the case against
Severino, for cancellation of citizen
ship. This is evidently very closely
connected with the Michigan case,
representing an effort to revoke citi-
zenship preparatory to deportation
proceedings, and thus insure action
of some kind against Severino whe,

JOE BUSH MAY
Be 4 GR|FF

Having met with so much sue
cess in snagging Stan Covelesxie
and Dutch Ruether. Buclxy Harris
and Clark Griffith are now seeking
to complete deal with the st.
Louis Browns that will bring
another seasoned pitcher to the
American league titleholders. Joe
Bush is rumored to be the hurler
anxious to get. away from st. Louis
and being perfectly willing to ally
himself with the Griffs.
There Is also said to be "a hen
on" between the champions and
the Browns that will bring a
veteran outfielder, probably Baby
Doll" Jacobson, to the Griffmen.
However this attempt by Manager
Harris may fall by the wayside for
several reasons.
Joe Bush was traded to the
Browns by the Yankees last winter,
Urban Shocker going to the metrop-
oils in exchange for Bush, CASTOR
and Joe Giard. Bush made no
bones about saying that the deal
did not suit him, but he had been
In baseball too long to yelp much
and did his best for Sisler last
summer. His best stunt was to
hold the Griffmen to a single hit,
"a double by Walter johnson. He
was charged with fourteen defeats
to balance as many victories on the
season.
Manager Harris may come to
terms with President Griffith today,
before paying q brief visit to his
home in Pittston, Pa, but it is also
possible that he may delay until
both are together at Tampa, in
February. There is no serious diff
ference between them.

The Robins have announced that
Shortstop Johnny Mitchell has been
sold to the Chicago Cubs for the
waiver price of 1000. Mitchell was
purchased by the Brooklyn club
from Minneapolis In July. 1924. and
became the regular Brooklyn short
stop for the remainder Of the season.
Johnny also started last season
in the regular shortstop berth but
was later derailed by Horace Ford.
A brilliant fielder and q smart
player, Mitchell's failure to hit has
kept him out Of regular major
league job.

grabbed rabbit MaranviIle, vet
eran Chicago shortstop, when waiy-
ers were asked. Now the Cubs
nave taken Mitchell off Brooklyn's
hands.
1t viii be interesting to note
which player will prove the greater
