SACRAMENTO, Cal., July 16.
Possessing clews purporting to
f how that I. V Rhodes, now held
in jail in Klamath l-'alls. had ab
ducted Junto and Esther Brad
Khnw, 14, and 12-year old daugh
ters of A. W. Ilradshaw, Tule
lake sheep man, and was holding
them prisoners in some out-of-the-way
places, Klamath Kails and
Modoc, county. California, officials
are putting forth vvery effort to
locate the prison of the two
girls.
The nature of the clews the
officer declined to give out, but
expressed confidence that the two
girls would be found alive within
the next 24 hours. The theory
that the girls had been harmed
or had been killed also was scout
ed. Rhodes, who was employed
by the girl's father, was arre-steed
in Klamath Falls Monday and has
been held in jail there. He de
nied knowledge of the girls'
movements or present where
abouts, but the offlceri say they
obtained information which tend
ed to connect him with their dis
appearance and present absence.
The girls disappeared from the
sheep camp ,on lower Tule lake
a week ago. Rhodes also is eaid
to have left the camp about the
rame tinre, and this fact directed
suspicion toward him and his ar
re.st followed.

The injured are:

Prune buying will probably start
'Within the next week or ten days.
It was stated this morning, and it
Is expected that buying will con
tinue on a flow basis for several
weeks. Little competition Is ex
pected In early buying, and the
(trice, It Is predicted, wil be around
T cents for 30-3 'is.
Indications, It has been pointed
out, are that buyers will be in the
field within the next two weeks, of
fering prices on the choice crops.
From prices announced by Califor
nia and oilier concerns, it Is pre
dicted that the buying price will
open at about 7 or 7 cents for
the large sizes, dropping on smal
ler sizws corresponding to tne
highest prices paid last yeur.
It Is usually the case for buyers j
to secure contracts on a few of the
orchards w here choice crops an I
produced, and then the buying :
closes down for a brief period. I
This, it Is stattd. will probably be!
the case au'ain this year. J
Prunes, it is stnted, have shown
a good recovery from the winter
freeze in this county, and In spite I
of early predictions of practically ';
crop. 11 Is estimated by County '
Agent Cooney and others closely
lit touch with the conditions, thatj
the crop will run between six and i
seven million pounds. The prunes ,
are expected to be of large size j
and of excellent quality. i
Pear buying Is quite keen, and
pear growers are "sitting pretty."1
pears are bringing a high as $7.r '
graded, or $70 and $72 orchard
run on ones and twos, which is
considered a very good price. j

COl'KT KOOM. Dayton. Tenn.,
July 111. Wllllum Jennings
llryan uiado hln first court argu
ment in the John T. Stopea case
thla afternoon. He addressed the
court In eupport of an effort by
the state to have scientific testi
mony, excluded.-
Ilia was the first argument of
the afternoon. His son. William
Jennings llryan, Jr.. Herbert E.
Hicks and Hen T. McKentie had
spoken for the state In the fore
noon session, with Arthur O. Hays
present tug the contention of the
dtiftnse that the testimony of the
scientists should be admitted.
Mr. llryan opened by saying that
he had not thought it proper be
fore In the trial to take part In the
discussion. He felt, he said, that
In dealing with questions of law
proper he thought the state's au
thorized representative should
speak.
"Hut today." said Mr. Bryan, "we
came to a decision on which the
length ot this trial will depend. If
the court holds, as we feel It
should hold, then we may reason
ably expect that the case la near
Ing the end."
"I have been tempted to speak."
he said, "but have resisted the
temptation."
He recalled that he had been re
ferred to by almost every attorney
on the other side. "I have been
charged." he said, "with being the
arch conspirator In religious bigo
try. .
"This question ta ao important
between 'he rellgioiiB and irrellgl
oiiaV I hat even, the Invoking .of. ilk
vino blessing upon it has beeu re
garded as partisan.
"The statuto defines exactly
what the people of Tennessee in
I end.-d and defined aa unlawful and
needs no Interpretation.
"That there might be no ambig
uity, no confusion of thought, the
legislature was careful to define
what was mount by the first part
of the statute.
"If the teacher taught that man
was a descendant of any lower
form ot life he violated the statute
and we have the confession of the
deenilant that he knew that he was
violating the law." I
The speaker recalled the testi
mony of Walter White and F. B.
Itohinson Intended to show that
Scopes did know what the luw
meant and realized that he was vio
lating it.
"If the children of today believe
some of the things taught in the
schools, they are taught to scoff at
the rellKion of their fathera. I
"No person has the right to say
that they shall rob the children of
their faith In tlod and send them
to their parents Infidels."
The court asked Mr. llryan If ho
thought evolution involved the
question ot tne. virgin uirin oi
Christ.
"I am perfectly willing to answer
your question." said Mr. Bryan,
"but 1 do not think evolution de
serves to be called a theory, It is
an hypothesis."
"Evolutionary theory has fnlled
and today there Is not a scientist
who has traced one flpecles lo an
other and yel they call us Ignora
muses and bigots because we won't
throw away our Hlblea.
"Not only have they no truth,
hut they cannot find the beginning.
"Chi-iHtlitii evolutionists said that
(lod was back there somewhere,
hut Ihey do not say where he was.
"Kvolutlon that begins with
nothing and ends nowhere," waa
a description Mr. I'lyan used.
"And yet Ihey would undermine
the rnllii of Ihese little children
In Hist Cod who stands back of
everlhlnc." he said.
"If the iliiory is lh;,t (lod did not
create the ceil then a could not
be reconciled with the Bible,
could H?' Judge liaulston asked
Mr. Bryan.
"Certainly not." he answered.
"More than half the scientists
do not believe th -re is a person
al Cod.' he said, "according to let
ter went to one of their number."
"Thla doctrine of evolutloi die
pules the very thought of the
virgin birth, eliminates the resur
recilons and the atonement." be
answered the court's question.
"They leave no nfii for uilraclea
and the Bible teems HU miracles
Thev deny by lualc every truth of
every Christian rellr.oii."
Mr. Hrvan quoted fi im a speech
by Mr. Harrow in a Chicago case

Chicago lawver'e speech In the
lM b lotiold trial. To Mr. Har
row's objection ihe Jii'lue said: "It
will not prejudice iu 9 irl."
Then it won't do any good,"
said Mr. Darrow.
The speaker referred to Mr.
Barrow's question to Haword
Morgan, school boy witness yea- ,
terday. If the teachings In school
had done him any barm. "Ha
should have asked his mother,
she knows whether H hurt her -boy.
The boy does not. ,
"Any member of a church la
a better qualified expert on tha '
Bible than any bible expert who
Is not a member of the church.'
"Amen," cried a voice from the)
crowd.
Mr. Darrow was on hla feet to
ask that the court stenographer
"get "that amen In tho record."
Mr. llryan referred to the fact
that eleven members of the Jury
are church members.
"This la not a mock trial," he) .
said. . ...
COURT ROOM, Dayton, Tenn.,
July 16. Dr. Maynard M. Metcalf,
professor ot xoology and long en
gaged in research in the field, re
sumed the stand at the opening ot
today's court suasion In the trial ot
John T. Scopes. He started his
testimony yesterday with the Jury
excluded.
Argument waa to follow on tha
competency of the testimony, the)
Btate resisting the effort of the de
tense to admit this testimony.
Before Dr. Metcalf could an
swer Clarence Darrow's first ques
tion on evolution, Attorney-General
Stewart objected to continu
ance of this, claiming the wltneaa
had testified' at length t ahoar thaw,
nature of the testimony.
It was said, however, that tha
court and attorneys were not in
full accord as to the procedure in
the case of the "test witness," tha
defense proposing to. put him on
the stsnd again If the evidence1
should be admitted.
The court requested Dr. Metcalf
to stand aside.
Clarence Darrow stated then that
the defense expected to show that
the Bible was not In conflict with
the theory of evolution. "We ex
pect to show what evolution is," ha
said.
"We submit," he said, "that Ihe
Jury cannot decide the case intel
ligently without knowing what evo
lution Is."
It waa announced that Arthur O.
Havs of defense counsel, would
make the argument for the de
fense and this led to a discussion
of the order in which the argu
ments would be delivered. During;
the discussion between the attorney-general
and Mr. Hays, tha
court admonished the attorneys to
j address the court Instead of each
! other.
I Resuming the attorney-general
Insisted that tbe fact that tha
state contentions must be accept
I ed precludes any testimony Ih-
tended to show that there Is or In
not a conflict between evolution
'theories and the story of divine
Icrestion as taught in the Bible.
William Jennings Bryan, Jr.,
(opened for the prosecution.
The Jury excluded from the
'court room yesterday during the
I testimony of Dr. Maynard M. Met
calf. "test witness", waa still out
of the room. Dr. Metcalf, a ioo
iloglst, gave testimony of evolution
j yesterday to show the nature of
I the evidence the defense would
! insist on.
