Author of Attack Declares Teach

KNOXVILLE. Tenn., Ang. 7.
(By Associated Press.) Tenn-
es8oe'aanti-reTolutlon statute was
directly attacked today in a bill
filed in the United States district
court by Jamts Robert Wilson, a
taxpayer, on the ground that the
law ia in riolation of the first sec
tion of the 14th amendment of the
constitution of the United States.
Gorernor Austin Peay, State At
torney General Frank M. Thomp
son and A. T. Stewart, attorney
general for Rhea county, are nam
ed as the defendants in the bill.
The bill, whose filing has been
expected for sereral days, as a
part of the general attack against
the anti-erolution law, was signed
by John R.-Neal, Clarence Darrow
of Chicago,.. Bainbridge Colby of
New York and Frank B. McEI-
wee of Rockwood. as solicitors
'for the complainant
The bill is in no way inrolred
with the Scopes' trial held recent
ly at Dayton and in fact departs
entiiely from the position taken
by attorneys' for Scopes In that
noted trial, in that it flatly de
clares that the story of the crea
tion as taught In the Bible is con
tradicted by the theories of erolu
tion. The petitioner. Wilson, who
arers that he is the owner of
150.000 worth of real estate, and
Is the head of a family consisting
of his wife and fire children from
six to 18 years of age. also states
that he does not bellere that the
theory of the creation as giren in
the Bible is true'and that he ob
jects to it being taught to his chil
dren. ;
This part of the petition Is as
follows:
"Your petitioner further arers
that he is not a belierer .ln the
story of the creation of man as
giren in the Bible and does not ac
cept said story as a true story of
creation, but be is a bellerer In
the scientific theory of creation
popularly known as the theory of
rolutlon; that he does not desire
to hare his children taught the
story of creation of man as giren
In the Bible and if said statute Is
enforced he and all other cltixens
of the state of Tennessee who be-
Here in the theory of erolutlon
rather than In the theory of crea
tion of man as giren In the Bible
will be compelled to withdraw
their children from -the public
schools of said state and such
children will be deprived of the
opportunity to obtain an education
to the great and irreparable dam
ce of your petitioner and other
citizens of the state of Tennessee
in the same situation and thereby
your petitioner will be deprived of
hie liberty and property without
due process of law and will be de
nied the equal protection of the
law."
The bill was filed in the office
of Clerk Lee A. Beeler today about
ii o clock by Dr. John R. Neal.
