Scopes Pleads
Not Guilty Os
Case Under Wul
BY United Press Leased Wire

COURT ROOM, DAYTON, Tenn,
July 15.-John T. Scopes, "a, Day
ton school teacher. pleaded not gull
tv of violating the Tennessee anti
evolution law in Rhea county court
house today.
The central figure of the famous
trial sat in his shirt sleeves at the
defense counsel table with his col
lar open at the throat.
What do You plead - asked
Judge Raulston casually.
Not guilty. replied Scopes
counsel, John Il. Neal, without ris-
ing.
Not guilty echoed the judge.
With the Scopes plea the evolu-
tion trial was placed fairly under
way after five days of wrangling,
confusion and frequent adjourn
ments.
Scopes plea was made after pre-
siding Judge Raulston overruled the
defendant S motion to dismiss the
indictment.
Following the plea Attorney Cen
erai Stewart addressed Il brief
statement to the judge outlining the
prosecution s intentions.
The name of William Jennings
Bryan was brought into the trial for
the first time by Malone i'll his
statement but it was speedily strick k
en- off the record.
When Malone said there "is Il
clear distinction between God, the
church, the Bible, Il Christianity and
Mr.. Bryan,' the states attorneys
objected despite Malonc's remon.
strance that Bryan was the leader
of the prosecution and representa-
tive of many people and that he
could be signaIed out for such refer
ences.
The court ordered him to desist.
Bryan, speaking for the first time
since the trial began, said Il ask
no protection of the court and when
the time comes | shall answer and
show that these things have nothing
to do with the case in hand.
Bryan spoke in broken voice
and was loudly applauded.

COLORADO RIVER
OUTLOOK SEEMS
MUCH IMPROVED
1925 Flow Is Considerably
More Than One
Year Ago

That the Colorado water situation
is somewhat improved over a few
weeks ago and considerably better
than at this time last year is the
9ist of a report submitted TO the
Imperial Irrigation district by En-
gineer Ray Carbcrry.
Summer rains, and in some in
stances, veritable cloudbursts, in
the upper valleys Of the river have
brought about the increased flow,
and while il IS impossible to make
definite prediction for the remand
er of the summer, present indica-
tions are that wafer conditions may
mol be rs serious as at first feared.
Mr. CarbetrT' : report follows:
sslu view Of the below normal
snowfall data Is given by the eli.
matoIaeieaI reports, and the com
parative low discharge Of the Colo
RADIO river ON June -, l925, seem
ed To warrant fear that some short
age of water might be anticipated
about August /, or about j. days
easier tHa0 III 1924.
The conditions by comparative
discharge records OH june -, var
raated the estimated datc Of prob
able shortage rs August %

the general advanced condition of

The river discharge at una ON July
T. was 1000 second feet greater
than far the same date in 1924, aud
the fact that in the Colorado water

larger than ii leW ago. all Indicate
improved conditions.
While il is impossible To fore
east with ANY degree Of certainty
the discharge Of The Colorado river,
from available information the pre-
sent outlook for a greater water sup
ply in 80 than in 1929 is very
apparent, and seems sufficient to
predict that q reasonable quantity
