SCOPES Case
NOW BEFORE
HIGHER court
Defense AssaiIS Anti
Evolution LGw
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

STATE CAPITOL, Nashville, Tenn,
June 1. The battle Of modern
science to free itself of all secular
domination was carried before the
supreme court of Tennessee today to
test the eonstitutionality of Americas
first anti-eVolution law.
Brought to the states highest trib-
unal on an appeal from the conviction
Of John Thomas Scopes for teaching
Dayton, Tenn, high school last sum-
mer that man descended from low
err order of animals" the hosts of
science fought to have the law set
aside as violating Americas freedom
Of religious worship thought and con-
science.
Scopes in Chicago.
Scopes was absent, attending school
in Chicago, but brilliant array Of
counsel pleaded for a reversal of his
conviction. They pictured the Ten
nessee legislature as inaugurating a
modern Spanish Inquisition" in an
effort to restrict science while steep
ing the people in ignorance, lest the
truth might weaken christianity.
The plea for an unrestricted public
school system was opened by DR.. John
r. Neal, chief of local counsel. He
followed Charles H. Strong, president
of the Unitarian Laymens' League,
who interviewed as a "friend of the
court; Arthur Garfield Hays. of New
York, counsel for the American Civil
Liberties Union; Robert Keebler, of
Memphis, Tenn, Henry E. Cotton, of
Nashville, on behalf of the Tennessee
Academy OF Science, and Judge
Thomas H. Malone, of Nashville, who
also pleaded as a friend Of the
court"
In the background sat Clarence
barrow, famous Chicago criminal law
yer, whose defense of Scopes and evo-
luton featured the trial at Dayton
last summer. 1t was a different
Darrow, however, for he kept his blue
suspenders hidden and sat silent
while his colleagues held the spot
light. He will close the defenses
argument tomorrow after the state
has defended the law.
See Law Doomed.
After that, the August court will
ponder it's decision. Rumor here is
that the decision will not be handed
down until next fall, in fact, until
after the same five judges have been
reelected in August to another series
of eight-year terms. Among local
attorneys, the betting is two to one
that the verdict then will be to set
aside young Scopes conviction by
holding the anti-evolution law uncon-
stitutional.
The whole fight against the law, in
the arguments advanced today, was
that it violated both state and federal
constitutions. There was first, a three
fold technical objection that the bill
was so badly worded its meaning was
unclear and therefore a violation of
the state constitution.
The Scopes counsel argue that the
anti-evolution law deprived the young
teacher of his job without due pro
cess" and by denying Tennessee
scientists from practising their profes-
sion, would destroy science in the
state.

Scopes Loses His
Interest in the
Evolution Trial

John Thomas Scopes, who was the
center of the evolution triaP at Day

in the department of geology at the
University of Chicago, declared that
he lost all interest in his case and
will not go to Tennessee to hear the
arguments Of Clarence Darrow in the
appeal.

lion of them must get into the union

This summing up made a tremen-
dous impression upon the delegates.
They rose and cheered, they cheered
the speaker, but more they cheered
the determination to Organize the
Unorganized."
GurIey Flynn Speaks.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn reported for
the defense. She showed how nearly
300 had been arrested and that many
face trial with possible sentences Of
years in the penitentiary. A resolu-
ton for adequate defense was passed
amid much enthusiasm.
Robert Dunno reported for the
American Civil Liberties Union, and
laid emphasis upon the work that
must be done to preserve the few
rights that we are guaranteed under
the constitution.
Relief Work Advancing.
Wagenknecht gave an extensive re-
view of the relief work. He showed
how the relief committee is now car
ing for nearly 5000 families and how
the support has come in from the
unions and all kinds of organizations.
He showed the need for sustained eff
fort and for the great need OF taking
care of the children especially. Homes
and camps and kitchens must be ar
ranged for. Extensive plans are now
on foot for these ends.
Then the delegates broke loose with
their reports from their unions and
their organizations. Short speeches
full of pep and ginger, all of them
ready to go back to double their eff
forts so that the strike may be fought
out till the strikers win.

DETAILS IN COPPER BUILDING

While politicians are ranting on the pos
sibilities Of copper tariff and copper markets,
wise householders are putting copper cutters
on their houses and hoping for the day when
they can afford an all-copper roof AS matter
Of simple fact, every house in Arizona could be
rooted with solid copper within the next five
years and, aside from the beauty and service
ability Of the construction, the copper market
would be stabilized for the next two generations.
The human race is a strange species Of
insect.
Copper window castings, copper sills, copper
frames, copper construction in all public monu-
ments would seem to be the natural outlet for
the surplus copper in the copper state.
And yet we spend our money trying to ad-
vertise the state in silly pamphlets on seven-crop
alfalfa brought up from Peru while we wonder
how we can induce some other race Of people to
build houses Of the copper that is native to our.
own Arizona!

Banderhouer Medium grade silver
ores ranging from @ to 800 ounces
of silver per ton occur incidentally
with the richer silver ores that have
been widelp known among mining
for years. The silver content of
these ores may be figured in the
percentages of silver and not in
ounces as is coustomary. 1t is a
fact that shipments of ore can be
made from this property carrying
from 10 to 40 per cent metallic silv-
er content. This would require some
sorting, however, and most likely as
shipping policy we will ship ores
from the richer regions just as they
are broken, and ship larger quaint

LOCAL TRUCK BUSINESS
There is going to be plenty of
work for all the local truckmen and
it is expected that an agreement will
be reached among the truckmen
themselves at once as to rates and
divisions. This is suggested by the

give as much of the business as pos
