Wwkly Fifty-fourth Vfar. no. on 0 o MAKE PLEA WiHiam Jennings' and His Son Urge Court to Exclude All Testimony of Scientists Claim Experts Have No Place in Trial Defense Claims Science Vital to Case ' COUUT ROOM, DAYTON, Tenn., July 16. (By the Associutod Press) William Jennings Bryan made his first court argument In the John T. Scopes case this afternoon. He ad dressed 'the court in support of an effort by the state to have scientific testimony excluded. !H!s was the first argument of the afternoon. His son, William Jen nings, Jr., Herbert E. Hicks and Ben T. MacKenzie had spoken for the state in. the forenoon, with Ar thur G. Hays presenting the conten tion of the defense that the testi mony of scientists should be ad mitted. - Mr. Bryan opened by saying that he had not thought It proper before in the trial to take part in the discus sion, lie felt, he said, that In dealing with questions of law, the state rcpre sentative should speak. "But today," said Mr. Bryan, "we came to a decision on which the length of this trial will depend. If the court holds, as we feel It should hold, then we may reasonably expect that the case is neuring an end. "I have been tempted to speak." he said, 'but have resisted the temptu- "on-" He recalled that he had been re- ferred to by almost every attorney on the other side. . "I have been charged," he said. "with bping the arch conspirator In rcngtous pigoiry. .Tnis question is so imDortnnt betweejr thn-retlarious - nnd irreligious that even 'the invoking of lilvine blCBstng upon it has been -regarded as partisan. . r - "The statute defines' exactly what the people of Tennessee Intended and defined as unlawful and needs no intrpretatlon. "That there might be no ambiguity, no confusion of thought, the legisla ture .was careful to define what was meunt by the first part of the statute. "If the teacher taught that man was a descendant of any lower form of life he violated the statute und we have-the confession of the defendant that he knew that he was violating the law." - The speaker recalled the testimony of Walter White and r. E. Robinson, Intended to show that Scopes did know what the law meant and real ized that he whs violating It. COURT ROOM, DAYTON, Tenn., July 16. (By the Associated Press) Dr. Muynard M.

Clarence Dai-row stated then that the defense expected to show that the Bible was not In conflict with the theory of evolution. "We expect to show what evolu tion Is," he Bald : "We submit," he said, "that the Jury cannot dectOe the case Intel ligently without knowing what evo lution Is." William Jennings Bryan, Jr., marked his first appearance before the court. He characterized the ex- pert testimony suggested by tho de- fense. "the weakest, the most ca- pable of ' abuse atfU theemost dan- gerous." -He said Sr. DarjoV In the J.oeb- Leopold trial characterized experts as "purveyors of perjury." During his son's sj.oech.

Rhodes, Who was employed by the girls' father, was arrested In Klamath Falls Monday and has becii held, in jail there.

U.S. AIRMEN PREPARE JO FIBHTMOORS President Painleve Gives Per mission to American Avia tors to Form New LaFayette Escadrille Will Sail for Africa Before .the End of July. PARIS. July 16. (A. P.) The now LaFayette eacndiillo of American forces formed .to assiat the French in their fight against the Moroccan rebels has received the sanction of Premier Painleve and its organizers hope It can leuve Toulouse for the front before the end of the month. The escadrille will consist of ten planes and twelve pilots and will have its base at Fez. The list of fliers is not complete hut it includes several experienced pilots and observers who saw service at the front in the World iar. Among them are Granville A. Pol lock of New Orleans, Charles W. Ker wood of Philadelphia, Major Rogers of Pittsburg, Charley Sweeney of Seattle and Paul Rockwell of Atlanta. Pollock and Kerwood were members of the original LaFayette escadrille. The Americans will enter the ser vice under the banner of the Sultan of Morocco who has an excellent and well equipped air service of his own. Thoir offer to serve was "for the u ration of the present emergency," but the regulations of the foreign legion cal) for five year enlistments, hence their enrollment under the -tubal. . Detailed reports from French quar ters show that Abd-Kl-Krim, the rebel chief, in preparing for another drive is pursuing his tactics of wear ing out the French-trjops by forcing their conatuht shifting along the front to meet sudden attacks at unexpeced points.
