killed in the sudden and overpowering
attack by maddened Arab mobs, was
given today by travellers arriving here
from Palestine.
Their narratives described horrifying
scenes when the horde OF natives,
from outlying villages. descended upon
the town, broke into large Jewish
houses. slaughtered all the inhaoitanss
and mutilated the bodies.
Not even children escaped the fury
of the assault. Before the authorities
succeeded in restoring quiet, the attack

S. 600, and had run its deadly pillaging
wav throughout a large part OF the
Jewish section.
Nineteen Bodies in One House.
IT. was not until Sunday morning
that repressive measures were suf1i..
GENTLY successful to admit survey OF
the situation and to begin the gruesome
task Of collecting the dead. In one
house alone 10 bodies were found. an
some cases bodies were hanging from
windows, In others they had been
mercilessly thrown into the streets
In practically every instance death
was caused by swords or knives. Even
young children of 2 and years, many
Of them girls, did not escape the saw
aRery of the attack.
The police are credited with yoeman
work In collecting Jews from the eX-
posed sections and conveying them to
safer quarters, thus preventing even
more deadly work by the enfuriatcd
Moslems. Several hundred Jews were
taken from Hebron on the day OF the
outbreak. On Monday 800 more were
evacuated and on Tuesday. the re-

removed to Jerusalem. Tuesday aft

HOUSE HEARINGS
ON TAX REFUND
DUE THURSDAY.
S425, 1856, 900 Payment by
U. S. Depends on Com
mittee, Court Ruling.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. q The
house ways and means committee
will hold hearings Thursday on
resolution providing the government
consents to suit in the supreme
court by any state which paid
direct taxes collected from many
citizens and corporations during the
years 1866, 1867 and 1868.
It also stipulates that the gov
eminent shall contest the claims
solely upon the ground of the legal
ity of the tax, thus waving in adj
dition to other defenSes the statute
of limitations.
Records of the treasury depart
ment show that the total amount
collected during the three years
was $424,855, 900
Thus if congress should pass the
resolution and the supreme court
rule that the taxes were illegal,
the government would have to pay
this amount to heirs of the payees
or to the forty-four states paying
the taxes.
The resolution was passed I'M
animously by the senate last April
without debate.
Huge as are the sums directly
involved they probably are small
in comparison to the money that
the government may eventually
have to pay if the resolution is sus-
tanned.
Secretary Mellon has informed the
ways and means committee that it
will be impossible to estimate accu-
rately just how large a sum might
be collected from the government.
However. if your committee would
be willing to accept conservative
estimate, not based upon actual re-
search but representing merely the
treasury's oponion, it may be stated
that the amount which would be
required to settle all claims with
respect to internal revenue taxation
since 1868 alleged to have been il
legally collected or on which the
statutes of limitation have expired
against the taxpayers will aggregate
several hundred millions of dollars"
Mellon stated in letter to Repre-
sentative Hawley of Oregon, chair
man of the committee.
The taxes in question we're levied
against some 200 articles, both
manufactured products and raw
materials, to help war obligations.
Representative Hawley and sew
eral other prominent members of
the ways and means committee are
understood to be opposed to the leg
islation.

SCIENTISTS TO
FIGHT AGAINST
EVOLUTION BAN
Powerful Forces Join to
Combat Teaching Taboo
in Three States.
BY WATSON DAVIS


NEW YORK, Jan. Protesting
sgainst legislative and administra-
i've interference with the presenta-
ton Of the facts and theories of
science. and deploring the anti-evo-
. luton laws now on the statute
books of three states, the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science and the American Associa-
ton of University Professors have
announced in resolutions fighting
attitude against present and further
encroachment upon the freedom of
science and teaching.
AT the, November elections, Ar
kansas passed an anti-evolution law
by a large popular vote. Tennessee
and Mississippi previously had
placed a ban on evolution.
Even more powerful in some cases
are the unwritten prohibitions that
many institutions impose upon
teachers. with loss Of their jobs as
the penalty.
Notables on Committee
The special committee of scientists,
empowered with the delegated
authority Of more than 10000 SCENT
lists and more than fifty scientific
Organizations, consisted of Pro-
fessor Edwin Ct. Conklin, Princeton;
Professor S. j. Holmes, university of
California; DR.. Henry Fairfield
Osborn, president of the American
Museum of Natural History; DR.. r.
A Millikan, president of the Cal
ifornia Institute of Technology and
newly elected president of the
American Association for the Adj
vancement of Science, and DR.. j. G.
Merriam, president of the Carnegie
Institution Of Washington.
We deplore all efforts to restrict
the freedom of teaching and learn
ing in science" the resolution
stated. I'VE deplore such action
first because evolution in some form
is accepted by practically all COM
petent men of science the world
over, and. second. because the idea
Of evolution profoundly has so in
6uenced the thinking of mankind in
biology, psychology, ethics, social
science, and philosophy that no one
can pretend to have a liberal ed
ucation, who is ignorant of its
grounds and import.
Called Liberty Restriction
I'VE deplore these measures also
Tor a deeper reason, which should
appeal to all Americans of whatever
creed, who believe in intellectual
nd religious liberty. whether they
accept or reject the theory of evo-
luton: Namely, that such restric-
lions constitute a violation of
fundamental principle of freedom
ESSENTIAL to all progress.
What is taught as science should
be determined by qualified experts in
their fields rather than by popular
yote.Y
The university professors created
a special committee under Professor
Holmes to cooperate with the
scientists and issue circular to be
used in the campaign against edu-
cational intolerance.
