NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 13.-An
earnest young man, to which the
original copy Of the Constitution or
the United States seemed to appeal
more than movie and publicity offers
of a small fortune, was on his way
to Tennessee today, prepared to be
the self-termed goat" next month in
the widely noticed Tennessee evolu-
ton case.
John T. Scopes, the youthful science
teacher, accused of expounding the
theory of evolution to his class at the
Dayton, Tenn, high school, left New
York, the New York Times said, after
refusing offers aggregating S150,O00.
Then, stopping off in Washington,
on his way home after conferences
with defense counsel in New York,
the defendant evinced greatest inter
est in the glass-inclosed document Of
the American rights, and in the cham
ber OF the Supreme Court, where
eventually final decision in his case
may be handed down.
Refusing all money offers, which
included $4,000 for a motion picture
in which he would appear, because,
it was said, he felt the trial was a
serious matter. beside which nothing
else mattered, Scopes viewed the Su-
preme Court chamber with dis
tinctly thoughtful expression, it was
noted.
Meanwhile, arrangements for the
trial continued at Dayton.
The influx of newspaper writer's was
expected to be SO great that a tele-
graph company announced 1t had as
signed 10 operators to move the story
of the trial out of the little Tennes-
see town for world consumption. Will
liam Jennings Bryan, who will assist
in the prosecution in the Scopes trial,
gave further expression to his views
on science and religion in addressing
high school graduates at Miami, Fla.
Mr.. Bryan declared that science is a
great thing, but that religion is the
greatest thing"

Baltimore and Ohio and the New

700 pieces of sculpture, painting and
other works, mostly of the French,

closer to doing sosthan he did, was

G.. Wrigiey, Jr., owner Of the Cubs.
Early last year the Cubs put. on
burst OF speed that carried them
up through the first division and
landed them on June Ii in a tie
with the Giants for the lead.
They had youth and vigor in
their favor-they were, collectively.
the youngest outfit in the major
leagues-but. youth and vigor alone
could not help them when the
Giants. pressed for the lead, began
to lengthen their stride.
Experience was what the Cubs
needed and Killefer, smart. baseball
man that he is, could not supply
that. He held them up as long
as he could, but when they began
to fall back they fell rapidly and
the end of the season found them
i'll fifth place.
This year, it was expected in
Chicago that the Cubs would be
the runners up to the Charts, and
when they skidded badly and slip
ped down through the first division
and part Of the second division,
too, it was decided by Wrigley
that Killefer had outworn his USE
