JUDGE TOO BUSY

The Issues in the Scopes case are
profound and Judge Raulston re
fuses to have his nttention drawn
from them while ho nets as usher
for the spectators, he has announc
ed. Twice during the sultry yester
day afternoon voices arose from
tho perspiring crowd appealing to
the Judge for ch.lrs. As the jury
wiifl entering the box for the first
time since Its selection, the voice
of a newspaper reporter rang out:
"Can wo have chairs, Judge?
"Gentlemen, I do not believe the
whole court room should expect
the judge to look after chairs. Let
the sheriff do thnt. Appeal to the
sheriff," tho Judge replied.
A second similar request later
in the afternoon brought the as
scrtlon that "It Is foolish to ex
pect tho Judge of tho court to pro
vide chairs for everybody, to leave
tho bench and have everybody
movo back. Appeal to the sheriff
amd executive offices because
have as many responsibilities as I
can get away with without having
to attend to those details."

An official communication giving

the Waihington government's at

cabled to Paris for the informa
tion of French foreign officials.
Disclosure of the contents of
the communication was withheld.
It cnnlnfns information, however,
which Washington officials hope
will remove any possible misun
derstanding between the Ameri
can and French governments.
The legal status of the situation
is held somewhat In doubt by
local attorneys, but It Is unani
mously agreed that from a prac
tical standpoint the necktie pro
moters would find it Impossible to
collect their ?1.50, or any other
sum, even assuming that they had
the law all on their side.
The desclples of P-nrnum who
originally invented tho scheme
resorted to tho device, of having
each package inmtrcd. Apparent
ly their idea was to collect from
tho government, If possible, In
case they did not collect from the
persons to whom the ties were
sent. Postal authorities, how
