observation is that 1t is not,-far from

ATHEISTS PLAN
LEGAL FIGHT ON
ECCLESIASTICS
Quote Washington as
Aid to Campaign

NEW YORK, April 9.--The organ
ICED atheists Of the country are plan
ming series Of legal attacks upon &c.
clesiasticism, according to a statement
issued today by Charles Smith, presi.
dent Of the American Association for
the Advancement of Atheism, Inc
with national headquarters at AZ Vesey
street. A fund Of 100000 is being
raised among atheists for the purpose
Of instituting several legal actions
and spreading propaganda in the col
leges.
'Our suit to remove the chaplains
from the houses Of congress and the
army and navy is but the first move
OF a compaign to cleanse government
Of religion" Smith said. 1--WE are now
preparing for our second suit and will
hle 1t shortly after decision is hand
ed down in the present case.
U. S. No Christian Nation.
I'VE chose to bring action to re-
move the chaplains from the federal
payroll first because It seems to us
that their employment is clearly ille-
gal. We consider that payment of
public moneys to priests and propa.
gandists Of creeds is plainly perver-
sion Of public funds. Christianity
would rise in arms If an atheist were
made chaplain Of the senate or the
house. Who can conceive Of a NOLAN.
medan as a chaplain on one of our
navy craft? We must keep in mind
what George Washington said: The
Omitted States is not a christian nation
any more than 1t is a Jewish or
Mohammedan nation
I'VE are raising 100000 for the
purpose Of instituting legal actions
turnout the United States. Our asso-
citation will bring suit in Oak Park,
Illinois, before the close Of the present
term to restrain the school board of
that city from dismissing school chill
dren for religious instruction during
school hours. Our attorney in Chicago,
Richard ]. Cooney, is prepared to test
the weekday religious issue in the
supreme court of Illinois and secure
a final decision in the matter" he
continued.
Organizing the Students.
"a portion Of the fund being raised
will be devoted to our work in the
colleges. The students, with the aid
of members of the faculties, will con-
duct branches. The names Of the Of
ficers of the branches at Yale and the
University of Kansas will be an
nounced within few days. We have
encouraged and are standing behind
the suits brot by members of our
Damned Souls branch at the Univers-
ity of Rochester against Clinton N.
Howard, who used slanderous Ian
guage. in condemning the students
from Rochester pulpit. From now
on Christianity must behave itself"
Smith concluded.

ATLANTIC. CITY, Sept. 14-After a
day Of rest from the dreaded training
grind, Jack Dempsey will resume work
tomorrow in semi privacy, with hun
dred or more newspaper correspondents
and camera men as the only spectators.
The gates of the Greyhound race

Dempsey says that by working in

received by the champion with a grin.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14-Arrange-

forward today without interruption.
The Injunction issued by the Indiana
court last night e $ ira mi Jack
Dempsey, the worlds heavyweight
champion, from fighting before he car
ries out the contract of the Chicago
Coliseum club to meet Harry Wills, is
not effective in Pennsylvania unless
action is taken in this state, said At
torney General Woodruff today.
"It is merely matter of news in the
Pennsylvania courts. 1t has no legal
effect" Woodruff said.
To be on the safe side in the event
legal action is taken here, Tex Rickard
today arranged a conference with
Mayor Kendrick for tomorrow at which
steps will be taken to oppose any move
to stop the bout.
The city's legal adviser will be pres
ent.
Rickard pointed out today that the.
officers of the Chicago Coliseum club
would have to put up bond of at least
$3,00O,000 as a guarantee against loss
to the defendants if suit were
brought here.
The gate receipts, it has been esti-
mated, will exceed $1,5OO,000, and the
state requires a bond of double the
amount of possible loss in the event
the suit were thrown out of court and
there was financial loss.
"They haven't money enough to pay
the premium on such a bond" said
Rickard, "and L doubt whether the.
Coliseum club will attempt to press the
case in this state'
