the first of the eight troop trains bear

at 8:50 o'clock, just one hour late. On
this train were the howitzer company,

General George A. White, command

established brigade headquarters on a
knoll overlooking the entire military
reservation, where he can maintain a
personal supervision over the troops
which, under his direction as adju

the first place among national guard
organisations of the United States. The
general and his staff officers arrived
this forenoon and proceeded im

platform. After an exchange of

WILL LOSE CASE
FOR EVOLUTION
Swarm of Long-Haired Cranks
From Greenwich Village
Held Menace to Success of
Scopes Defense Scientists
Alarmed By Developments
NEW YORK, June 12. (A. P.)
While John T. Scopes, high school
teacher, was returning today from
New York to Dayton, Tenn., his coun
sel were brushing up on the intrica
cies of the rise of man and there was
much discusssion of the part radicals
are playing in arrangements for the
defense of Scopes on a charge of vio
lating the state law against teaching
evolution.
Clarence Darrow. Ratnbridge Colby
and Dudley Field Malone, associate de
lense counsel, viauea ine American
museum of natural history yesterday.
They saw in the Hall of the Age of
Man specimens showing the evolution
of man and the evolution of the horse.
They conferred with Professor Henry
Fairfield Osborn, noted authority on
evolution and president of the mu
seum, who promised aid in lining up
scientific witnesses.
When Scopes visited the museum
several days ago, Professor Osborn
warned him not to let radicals run the
case. Irfiter Scopes, as guest of honor
at a dinner of 300 so-called liberals
and radicals, said:
"I have mot here in New York the
most lovable bunch of people 1 ever
knew those who have taken up my
case." .
In this connection the New York
Evening Post says:
"Greenwich village is on Us way to
Rhea county. There shortly will de
scend on Dayton, Tenn.. the greatest
aggregation of assorted cranks, in
cluding agnostics, atheists, commun
ists, syndicalists and new dawners ever
known in a' single processison.
"The Scopes case, teachers, research
workers, biologists and other men of
science are being smothered in the
rush of long haired men and short
haired women, feminists, neurotics,
free thinkers and free lovers who are
determined to shine In reflected glory.
The vital issues of the trial In Tennes.
see are being lost In the stampede of
professional martrys and a swarm of
practicing egotists."
Some members of the Civil Liberties
union, which Is aiding the defense dis
agree with suggestions that the case
will he lost in spectacular fashion at
the first trial in order to arouse inter
est in evolution and to let the United
States supreme court pass on the con
stitutionality of the law.
These dissenters feol taht it would
be more beneficial to rout the so-called
powers of darkness right at the
start.
Arthur E. Hunt of ew York, co-author
of the book "Biology and Human
Welfare," from which Scopes taught,
has been amazed to learn the part of
his book was playing in the case. Mr.
Hunt said evolution Was dealt with
only superficially because the text was
intended for elementary students.
"Scientists don't speak of the general
doctrine of evolution as a theory any
more." he added, "it's a fact."
TENDS TO MAKE
rays to enter their bodies andf the
fashion continues, he avers. It is prob
able that Htatistics will eventually
show that they are the healthier of
the two sexes.
"I have no doubt," says Dr. Hill,
"j hut In the near future, both men's
and wo turn's clothing will be de
fttf(1 with a view to allowing the
body to receive as plentiful a supply
as purafble of the sun's rays."

The iidmfnintratJon will sunnort the

American rights," and "complb's with
its international engagements and
obligations," Kecretary Kellogg de
clared today in a formal statement.
"Our relations with tho government
(of Mexico) are friendly, but never
theless, conditions are not entirely
satisfactory," the secretary's state
ment said.
The statement was issued today,
after conferences with Ambassador

from Mexir-o City.
"We are looking to and expect tho
Mexican government to restore tho
properties illegally taken and to in
demnify American citizens," Mr. Kel

He said he had seen published re
ports that another revolutionary
movement was impending in Mexico,
and that he hopes very much that
"this Is not true."
"The government of Mexico is now
on trial before the world," the secre
tary said. "We have been patient
and realize, of course, that it takes
time to bring about a stnhlp govern
ment, but wo cannot countenance
violation of her obligations and fail
