EDITORS GO TO JAIL
 UNDER CENSORSHIP
 IMPOSED BY BRAZIL

RIO DE JANEIRO, July :. (P-1 A staff of censors has been distrib- uted among the local newspapers by the Brazilian government in order to prevent the publication of attacks on President Arthu Bernardes and the Brazilian government. An unoffi- cial statement secured at the foreign office explained the move as a guar antee for public order. "The public at present is an easy prey to news paper propaganda" it was explained, "and some Brazilian editors take un- justifiable advantages of the free dom of the press. If the new5pa- pers were not restrained, their con- tents would create a bad impression about Brazil when read abroad"
 Editors say that most of the cut ting is in copy dealing with admins tration policies and revolutionary plotting.
 The government power to stop publication of an unfriendly newspa- per was checkmated recently by Oc- tavio Kelly, judge of the federal courts in Rio, who made a decision when permits the reappearance of l the Correio da Manha, after ban of nine months The newspaper was closed last year shortly after the revolutionists were driven out of the city of Sac Paulo, and many of the editorial staff have been in jail. The owner and editor, EdmundO Bitten court, escaped after seven months and is now political refugee at the Chilean embassy. His son, part own CT and managing editor, has been confined for nearly one year.
 The decision of Judge Kelly was based on the opinion that the closing of newspaper by the government is violation of the private proper ty rights guaranteed citizens of Bra gil by the constitution The Bitten court claims to have lost $2O0,00( as a result of the ban against his newspaper.
 The city editor of o Jornal, an i'm portant commercial paper of Rio de Janiero, was arrested a few days ago
 the day after the censor stopped the appearance of story dealing witt one of the candidates for the forth
 coming presidential election.

FISH FORETELL WARM
 WATER SEASON ALONG
 U. s. ATLANTIC SHORES


 NEW YORK, July n (P)-Veter- an fishermen cheer sea bathers this season with word that this is appar- ently to be a warm water" year in shore
 The rate at which cold water mackerel have been passing this coast without making the usual stop and warm water bluefish have been Hooking in is advanced as the basis for the forecast.
 The oceans present heated fringe along the coast, as indicated by the predilection of these fnny water vanes, the one for cold, the other for moderate temperatures, is still fur ther borne out in the fishermen's mind by conditions at sea. They cite the recent contrast between overcoat weather reported in mid ocean by returning tourists and the rising mercury found on approach ing land.
 While the migration of fish and the behavior of the deep are largely matter of theory, practical anglers admit they nevertheless explain the present atmospheric condition by the Gulf Stream. The signs at hand show, they say, that the Gulf Stream mixed this spring in sufficient quan- tity with the cold currents coming down from the Arctic to moderate the latter as they flowed down their southen grooves The condition is therefore regarded as fundamental and correspondingly permenent, in- solar as Atlantic beaches are con- cerned this summer.
 The fishing smack sharps first be- came convinced of this when mack erel striking in off Cape May obvi- ously felt the heat and kept going. Instead of idling up the Long Island shore until about June 1 as is their wont, it was found they continued without pausing for breath to gain more congenial deep sea chills off Nova Scotia. Conversely, bluefsh and weakfish began to move land ward in response to the more at tractiye submarine cline.
 Last year it was just the opposite, fishermen recall. The Gulf Stream, according to their theory, did not mix sufficiently with the Greenland wa ter. The result was that mackerel abounded in local fishing grounds all summer something never known be- fore. Bluefsh and weakfish were commensurately scarce, and were only to be found, in fact, we'll out at sea.
 The Gulf Stream explanation of the periodic disappearance of various va rieties of fish apparently goes just so far. Anglers say complete mys tery surrounds some of the vagaries of sea beef" in it's moods and ac tions.
 Some years ago mackerel were Host" so completely for seVera years that the government establish ed a closed season to tempt then back. Now they are available il abundance.
 Bluefsh have been Host" off and o1 since 1914, so much so that their in
 certain appearances disrupted a flour
 ishing industry and largely caused
 the present dispersal of bluetist fleets.

TESTIMONY ON
SCIENCE BEING
ARGUED IN CASE
Darrow and Bryan Stating
Positions of Counsel
in Scopes Trial.

DAYTON, Tenn, July 16.-Argu-
ments regarding the competency of
scientific testimony in the Prof. j.
T. Scopes case are being made
today
The State rested in the case late
yesterday.
One scientific witness, DR.. May
nard Metcalf, former Professor of
Zoology at Oberlin College, was on
the stand when court adjourned late
yesterday afternoon. Metcalf's testi-
mony was not made a part of the
records as the prosecutions attor-
neys objected when questions of
evolution were asked. The jury re-
tired and the defense attorneys were
then permitted to ask questions
The defense hopes to prove by Met
calf there is no conflict between
theories of evolution and Chris
tianily.
Walter White, superintendent of
Schools, two school boys, and F. M.
Robinson, Chairman of the Board of
Education, were the witnesses for
the state.
Fight on Testimony.
DR.. Metcalf resumed the stand
at the opening of court this fore
noon, after the State made a strenu-
Gus effort to exclude scientific testi
mony as having no bearing on the
case.
Clarence Darrow stated the de
fense expected to show what evolu
tion is, as the jury cannot decide
the case intelligently unless some
idea is shown as to what it is.
DR.. Metcalf was withdraw wn tenn
porarily as Il witness and the jury
WAS excluded pending arguments
over procedure.
William Jennings Bryan, arguing
for the prosecution, said.
The only issue this jury must
decide is whether Scopes violated
the law. To permit testimony of
experts would be to substitute a
trial of experts fora trial by jury
The afternoon session opened
with Bryan pleading against admit
ting scientific testimony on the
grounds that it was prevalent to
the issue which was whether Scopes
did something prohibited by law.
