"Interisified study,? Dr. Jen-heged liquor party held on April
annly to Judge Hicks, federal
judge for eastern Tennessee, now
in Detroit, for a Jederal court or
der; In the case. ' 'r f.
In his lengthy ruling Judge
Gore did not discuss the consti
tutionality of the Tennessee stat
ute under which Scopes was in
dicted, but -gave his decision on
the question of his territorial jur
isdiction. He cited the United
States constitution and statutes
and numerous precedents, to up
hold his belief that he did not
have jurisdiction in the case. One
ground'clted "was thai' Dayton Is
thd eastern federal distrijcjL ,of
Tennessee, while his district is
middle Tennessee. ,
Listening to the decision of
Judge Gore, Scopes seemed unper
turbed. He said he expected the
trial at Dayton to begin next Fri
(dajr, according to schedule,, . .. -
Judge Gore, at the outlet of his
decision, pointed out that the pe
tition showed that the petitioner
is tinder indictment in Ithea coun
ty,) and that the case is pending
undetermined. H. stated that he
was ' of the opinion that he was
no justified In granting the "writ.
,. Two petitions were presented '
one In the name of John T. Scopes
and the other In behalf of Robert
; M. Wilson. Both were directed at
Governor Austin Peay, State's At
torney Thompson, and A. T. Stew
art, attorney; general for the 18 th
judicial district of Tennessee. ;
It was claimed that Scopes was
deprived under the Tennessee law
of .liberty and property without
due process of law. Wilson's plea
contendedthat the law deprived
him of , the right to properly edu
cate his children. Both contended
that enforcement of the lav is not

gradually. differentiate into many
faintly differing hereditary fea
tures. Again the process is grad
ual, or by steps so Bmall that sin
gle -ones are imperceptible.
"In higher organisms, the state
of knoweldge on this point is less
satisfactory. But the evidence so
far as it goes indicates that the
processes here are in agreement
with those, in lower organisms.
. "Apparently diversities . in ex
terna! agents inay, under condi
tions which seem rarely met, so
modify the germ cells that .they
produce progeny with changed
hereditary characters. Altogether
we find that even Independently ot
any mating process diversity, of
stocks is being produced but most
slowly and gradually.

lieved that the real cause of the
kidnaping was dne to the fact that
he had turned up a number of
stills recently for federal prohibi
tion agent W. E. Grubb.

Dr. Clark, who is more than 70

' From the smoke ot battle rising
from verbal-tilts between Gover
nor Pierce and Secretary of State
Kozer andfStatTreasurer Kay.
during which Governor Fierce ad
mitted that he" was In error by
blocking, the legislature's plan to
appropriate, $2 00.0 00 for the state
Industrial accident , commission,
contracts amounting to nearly a
quarter of a million dollars were'
awarded Monday by the state
board Of control for the erection
of a three-story ward at the east
ern Oregon state . hospital near
Pendleton and a two-story build
ing for the state, feeble minded
school at Salem. The argument
arore over the question of com
pelling contractors io 'carry on
state work nnder the -protection
of the workmen's compensation
act.
Governor Pierce was emphatic
in his demands.- that contracts
awarded by the board of control
should be awsrded only to con
tractors coming -under the state
industrial accident commission.
Both Secretary of State Kozer and
State Treasurer Ksy took the po
sition that the requirement should
not be included, as the law leaves
the matter entirely with the indl-
vidual contractor, and - that the
board shoulcPTrot set Itself above
the law.
" That 'the governor was directly
responsible for the position of the
accident commission, which Is
badly in need ot finances, was
charged ly .State Treasurer Kay. "
The govrnor admitted, indirect
ly, that his threat to reto any
me&sare passed by the legislature
giving such financial assistance
would be vetoed, was In error, an
that, he waa sorry for the occa
sion.
It was pointed out by:the ma
jority of the board that at the last
general election, by a 2 to 1 Tote,
the compulsory workmen's com-,
pensatlon measure was defeated.
Both Secretary of State Kozer and
State Treasurer Kay were in favor
of making such requirements pro
viding that the law, permitted the
contractor to hare part of (his
work under the state protection
and part under private Insurance.
The point was . stressed that the
contractor should not be com
pelled by his state contract to
take a financial loss by forcing
him to drop his other Insurance.
