that this would handicap his league

He is eager to compete for the
w. c. Durant $4,000 prize for the
best suggestion as to how to make
prohibition effective and if possible
will devote some of his time at the
farm to that, he said.
Shumaker first became connected
with the Anti-Saloon league in Sep

he has been the head of the league.
Before his connection with the
league he was a Methodist min

Head of american Legion

full to be national commander:
but then, he has travelled far for
his years in other ways, too. He
has ben granted years levae of
absence from his work as dean to
carry on the duties of his legion
office. He won the appointment
three years ago, having the distinc-
ton OF being the youngest man ever
made a dean at Indiana.
Born in MartinSville in 1891, Nc
Mutt studied at Indiana university.
and was graduated in 1918, and
went to Harvard to study law. He
finished his law course in 1916. re-
turned to Indiana to become an as
sistant professor of law, and on the
outbreak of the war joined the
army, receiving his training and
commission as artillery captain at
Ft. Benjamin Harrison.
He was assigned to San Antonio.
and spent the remainder of the war
there, having won promotion to a
lieutenant colonelcy. He is now
colonel in the reserves and com
mander of the 326th field artillery.
1t was in San Antonio that Col
onel McNutt met his wife, then
Miss Kathleen Timolat. They were
married there in 1918, and their
trip to the legion convention was a
tenth anniversary of their honey
moon.

LEAGUE WON'T

Shumaker ASSaiIS Justices
for Sentencing Him in
Contempt Case.

Refusing to the end to haul down
his colors, the Rev. E. S. Shumaker,
superintendent of the Indiana Anti
Saloon League, today bitterly scored
the three supreme court justices who
sentenced him to sixty days on In
diana state farm.
Shumaker not only refused, in a
formal statement, to take back a
word of what he said about the
justices he branded wet" in his
annual report of Jan. II, 1926, but
also declared justice would not be
done until there is a complete over
hauling" of the courts personnel.
He issued the statement ito all
lovers of freedom of speech and
press, as well as all law-abiding
citizens throughout the state and
nation"
Believes He Was Right
Affirming that he honestly be-
lieved in the truthfulnesS of the re-
port which three justices held con-
temptuous, he said:
Il believed then and I believe
now that I was fully within my
constitutional rights as an Ameri-
can citizen in saying that the three
judges who held me guilty we'll can
be presumed to have been preju-
diced against me, and in common
decency should. on their own mo-
ton, have disqualified themselves
from participating in the case, since
they well knew I was powerleSs to
prevent their sitting in judgment
in this case, in which even there
would have been no conviction.

FAMED LAWYER
And RABBI ARE
HEARD BY 5000
Believer in Immortality Is
Crazy, Contention of
Chicago Attorney.
CLASH IN ALL POINTS
Mechanical Man Is Moron,
Declaration of City
Debater.
CLASH IN ALL POINTS
BY DAN Nj. KIDNEY

tIapOl MOTIFS M. Feuerl1cht fought
valiantly to save his own soul and
that of mankind Gf any from the
verbal agnosticisms of Clarence
Darrow, Chicago, famed attorney
for the defense in unpopular causes,
before 5000 Indianapolis citizens at
Cadle tabernacle Wednesday night.
rs Man a Machine?" was the
debate subject and Darrow took the
affirmative.
The rabbi did not attack Darrow's
mechanical man as one of straw,
but termed him a moron" barrow
returned the compliment by calling
that man crazy" who believes in
an immortal soul.
At IL p. m, these conversations
ended and a woman, pushing for
the door, was heard to say:
Il thought they were going to
debate"
Slack Lauds Speakers
Following an introduction by
Mayor L. Ert Slack, in which high
tribute was paid to each speaker,
Darrow fired the opening gun, with
a sort of muffled pop He said he
had lost his voice talking for AL
Smith, but soon he found it fairly
we'll.
He commended himself in the first
round with outlining the elementary
principles of evolution, as opposed
to creation by fiat, and pointed out
that in many respects all the uni
verse, including man, is made of
the same matter and functions IL
a machine like manner.
Rabbi Feuerlicht countered by
pointing out that the so-called
modern mechanistic concept is as
old as Archimedes and the early
Greeks.
1T is merely an attempt to ex-
plain life in terms of energy" he
declared. Because we live in a
machine age, we change the terms
and call it mechanistic. The under
lying idea remains the same.
Must Be Moron
mot everything that is logical is
necessarily true and that applies
to defense Of the machine man.
THE mechanistic man is neces-
sarily not a free and responsible
agent. Therefore, he can not be in
telligent and must be a moron"
The defense speaker then cited
mans control over machines, which,
he claimed, would be impossible
were he not endowed with some
thing greater This he termed the
human soul.
Progress would be impossible
without self-determination and self
expression. he concluded, and cited
Lindbergh's flight as an example of
the exercise of free-will and con-
troll.
Tears and laughter are peculiar
to mankind" Rabbi Feuerlicht said.
"They are not shared with animals
and are impossible to Televox."
Pump Exercises "Will"
Darrow challenged the statement
that animals do not laugh or weep
and cited a refractory pump as an
example of free will. Sometimes it
gave forth water and sometimes it
didn't, he declared.
Man calls something a soul, be-
cause he doesn't know what it is
and when he doesn't know where it
came from he says from God,'" he
continued. who made God? 1 am
willing to stop where I don't know,
instead of going one step farther
and then stopping.

Colonel Paul V. McNutt Re-

City.

BN Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 49,
This city today welcomed home

Legion, elected last week at the con-
vention held in San Antonio, Tex.
From the Monon railroad station.
where Colonel and Mrs. McNutt ar
rived, parade moved to Indiana
university, where he is dean of the
law school. A program of speeches
followed.
The new commander is one of
those unhappy Americans whose
services during the World war were
highly essential but not at all spec
tacular or exciting.
Colonel McNutt knew too much
about field artillery for his own
good. Because of his knowledge the
army authorities kept him at San
Antonio. He was considered one
of the foremost theoretical field ar
tillery instructors in the country
and that was just his hard luck.
Colonel McNutt at 81, is youth

the surest about the things nobody
knows. Soul. immortality, free-will,
and all that are just words. They
don't mean anything.
THE only reason man thinks he
has soul and not animals or plants
is that man writes all the books.
"All this So-called free-will means
only that you can dc anything you
can do. On the other hand, you
can't do anything you can't do.
THE only way for man to get
what he wants is to not want what
he can't get.
Thinks He'll Live Forever
CAS- matter, I believe I will live
forever. The only thing is that I'll
never wake up to find that it's true.
Man giving himself soul is Just
proud flesh. Everything in the uni
verse is one and operates under the
same laws, including man. We
cannot know all that we believe to
be so, but we can say where our
actual knowledge ceases"
Rabbi Feuerlicht, in rebuttal, de-
clared that he could define the soul
only negatively, and since it is
spiritual and not material that
never would satisfy mechanist.
He termed immortality the full
f1llment of mans universal desire.
Darrow had the last chance and
termed mans desire for immortality
egotism and wish fulfllment con-
trary to nature.
Then, to make confirmation of
his mechanistic creed more mani
fest, he told his audience as a part
ing shot that he preferred to hear
automobile motors to Beethoven
symphonies.

criminal contempt.
He says the procedure of the
court, "by stretching the doctrine Of
inherent powers to a point never

is equivalent to saying that the
creature itself is superior to the

FINAL WEEK OF
BALL SEASON TO
START MONDAY

Another week of play in the FL
Centre Night baseball League has
gone down in the sports annals and
finds the Shell Oil team still cling
ing firmly to the top rung of the.
ladder with the Southern Sierras
team on it's heels.
The Sciots were put out of the
running for pennant honors whe1
defeated by the Coca Cola outfit.
The Southern Sicrras team was also
defeated but has entered protest
against the victory, official action
has not as yet been taken on the
protest.
The teams enter the final week
of play Monday night. The Sierras
face the stiffest assignment of the
leaders, meeting the Coca Cola team
while the Shell is very apt to be
upset in its final struggle with the
firemen.
While the Shell Oil is favored to
pull through on top, the Power
Company team has still a good
chance to tie up for the honor pro-
viding its protest of the Buick
game is won and a rcplay is order
