Collapse of Stone
Wall Kills Man
In Boston Suburb

Boston, June 14-(AP)-The col
lapse of stone wall probably
caused the death Of Arthur Clough
Of the Mattapan district, who was
found dead near the wall today. It
was announced tonight by Associat-
ed Medical Examiner William J.
Brickley after he had performed an
autopsy. He found that Clough's
death was due to internal injuries
received when two large stones fell
upon him, crushing his ribs and
skull. The medical examiner said
he believed that Clough and several
companions had built the wall in a
horseshoe shape and that the wall
collapsed after Clough had lain down
in the enclosure.
The police said they had evidence
that Clough and his companions had
been drinking.

CITES LESSON OF
PREPAREDNESS IN
BUNKER HILL FIGHT

Boston, June 14-United States
Senator William M. Butler, speaking
at the 15oth anniversary celebration
of the revolution in the Old North
Church here today. declared that
There is q lesson of preparedness
FOR all Of US III the battle 81 Bunker
HILL"
Preparedness which makes for
the protection Of our own people and
the defence Of our national sover-
eighty can never make for war" he
said. II bow to no man in my desire
for time in the world when swords
can truly be beaten into plowshares
but we cannot ignore, we must rec
ognize. that with the differences and
disturbances among and in the ma
tions Of the earth, the hour has not
yet struck.
Instead, this is a time which calls
for the exercise of great wisdom in
dealing with matters of information
al importance. It is not time for
great armies and navies. but time
for great understanding and intelli-
gence. 1t can never be a time for
entanglements in the affairs Of other
nations but it is, a time for friendly
and brotherly intercourse"
After pointing out that the nation
should take pains to instruct the
thousands of immigrants to this
country in the duties of citizenship,
he continued: IF as a nation we are
faced with any weakness it is be-
cause Of growing indifference of our
people to their opportunities to par
ticipate in the government. 1t is
shown in the failure of citizens TO
exercise their franchise at the bal
lot box; in the increasing disinclina-
ton Of men to make the necessary
sacrifice of their personal comfort to
serve in public office.
1.-THE enactment Of many laws" the
speaker said, which have aroused
the attention Of the public at large,
not only by reason of their variety,
but their surprising number, is
largely the result of indifference of
the public and its failure to bear its
proper part of it's citizenship respon.

Tennessee Bar
Would Call Off =
Prosecution Scopes

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 14-(AP)
Information has reached the city
through Nashville channels that at
the coming meeting Of the Tennes-
see bar association at Memphis q
resolution will be adopted asking
that Attorney General Frank NJ
Thompson refuse to prosecute the
case against John T. Scopes, Dayton
high school teacher accused OF vio-
lating the state anti-evolution law,
should it reach the supreme court:
Reason for the proposed action OF
the state bar is based on the theory
that the evolution case was brought
about by collision. and was not In
stituted with the idea of correcting
an illegal situation, an in the ver-
nacular Of the legal profession IS
moot.
Another angle to the Scopes case
is being discussed in legal circles
to the effect that when the hearing
opens at Dayton next month. Dis
trict Attorney General Stezart will
move for quashing the indictment on
the ground that the calling OF the
grand Jury in session by Judge T.
Raulston was illegal. Should the
motion prevail, the attornev general
will Immediately move for a new IN
dictment, it Is stated.
