BRYAN S LAST
ADDRESS IS
MADE PUBLIC
Widow of . Great Commoner
- Gives Undelivered Speech
Against Evolution to World
Bigotry Is Denied Claim
Made That Science Destroys
Religion and Morality.
DAYTON, Teun., July 28. (A. P.)
Viewed by men (ram the mountains
and by women whoso shoulders were
bowed from toll, the still form of
William Jennings Bryan lay in sluto
late today in an -unpretentious south
ern home. ,
Quietly and with solemn faces the
caHt Tennessee hlllmen filed into the
Richard Rogers homo and, stepping
softly, moved Into the flower-strewn
front room, where . roclinod In Ills
casket the body of the former secrc-1
tary or mate, eloquent auvocato or
universal iieace.
They looked intently a moment at
the peaceful face of him to whom they
had looked and looked not in vain
as the champion of their Christian
faith. They looked upon tho proud
and noble features-under their glazed
covering and moved away, passing
around a lone se'ntry of the American
Legion, posted with arms folded over
his olive drab breast
DAY.TON, Tonn.. July 28. (By the
Associated ' Press.) "The Tennessee
rase." an-address prepared by Wliliitin
Jennies Bryan in defense of the Ten
nessee anti-evolution law which iho
lute 'commoner was prevented from
delivering at the Dayton trial because
of an early termination o fthe case,
was made known lo the world toduy
by Mrs. Bryan. -
"A sudden decision of the defense lo
submit the case without argument and
p permit a verdict ;of.uilty. prevented
the delivery of the speech, says an In
troductory nolo to Mr, Bryan's nd
drosB. A-. .' - -
"As it presents the Issues Involved
mid the requirements of the law pro
hibiting tho teaching In public schools
of any hypothesis that makes man a
descendant of any lower form of life.
It In printed for the information of the
general public."
Mr. Bryan declared In the address
that the case was no longer local but
It hnd assumed the proportions of a
battle-royal between unbelief that at
tempts Jo speak through so-cnlled
sicence and tho defenders of the Chris
tian faith speaking through the legis
lature of Tennessee.
'It Is for the Jury to determine
whether this attack uuoti Christian re
gion shal he permitted in the public
schools of Tennessee by teachers em
' ployed by the state and paid out of tho
public treasury," was a conclusion
drawn.
No Within Vkilnlcil
AsertlnL' that "this law does not vio
late any riKltts guaranteed lv any con
stitution to any individual," and was
not an interference with freedom of
conscience, Mr. Bryan indicted ovolu
1 tlon on five brqad counts the first of
which "Is that It disputes the truth of I
tho lBblo account of man' erentlon i
end "hakes man's faith in tho Bible as
the Word of God."
"This indictment we prove by coin
paring the processes described in the
evolutionary theory with tho text of
Genesis." he said. "It not only con
tradicts the Mosaic rocord as to tho
beginning of human life, but it dis
putes the Bible doctrine of reproduc
tion according to kind the greatest
scientific principle known."
"Our second indictment." the ad
dross said. "Is that the evolutionary
hypothesis carried to Its logical con
clusion disputes every vital truth of
the Bible. Its tendency, natural If not
Inevitable, is to lead those who really
accept it first to agnosticism and then
to atheism."
Darwin Is lUTuU'd
Hero Charles Darwin was referred
to to Illustrate what was meant by
this charge. - "I did -not In the least
doubt the strict and literal truth of
every word In the Bible." Darwin was
nuotod an saying of the period from
1S28 to 1931. Then, said Bryan; "tho

ROSEBURC. Ore.. July 28.
4 Wilbur Atkinson, 08 years old,
for 40 years a resident of the

dump tender at The Dalles, was
found this morning helpless and
slowly dying of starvation, at a f
point along the bank of the South
4 Umpqua river within a few blocks 4
4 of the heart of the city. For a
month he had lain ill with dls- 4
4 ease and too sick to work, and 4
4 for two weeks had tasted no food 4
4 other than a clover tea which he 4
4 brewed himself. His health 4
forced him to quit heavy work 4
12 years ago, he said, and he 4
remained in The Dalles, tending 4
the city dump for ton years. 4
Finally he was unable to do 4
that any longer and with his sav- 4
ings practically gone he came to 4
4 Roseburg in search of something 4
4 to do. At last, almost penniless 4
4 -and too proud to seek help or 4
4 charity, be crawled off to die. -

New Evidence in California
Crime Mystery Points to
Double Murderer, As Writer
of Hate Letter Maid's Tale
Refutes Theory.
BltAWLEY. Cal.. July 28. (By
Iho Associated Press) Officers un
covered evidence today which brand
ed us false the letter purporting to
have boon' left by John Trudon,
telling the story of a duel in which
ho killed Henry Kirk, July 18.
At the same lime other ovidenco
tended to provo tnat tho lettor round
in Trudon's pocket and bearing his
name as a signature was not written
by Trudon at all.
Today's revelations went a long
way In the minds of officers and In
vestigating newspapermen towards
substantiating the theory that botli
Kirk and Truden died at the handn
of a third party and that Truden
did not kill Kirk and then take his
own life as outlined in tho supposed
death nuto.
TJie latest definito cluo in the
mystery which has furnished one of
the most baffling problems ever re
corded In southern California's crim
inal annals, was the statoment toduy
by a maid at the Imperial hotel of
Imperial, a nearby town where both
Kirk and Truden lived, that alio
knocked on Truden's door at eight
o'clock Saturday 'morning, July 18, to
tell him the time and that Truden
replied saying that he did not wish
to got up.
This declaration flatly rofutes tho
statement in tho letter purporting
to have been written by Truden In
which it auid that he .and Kirk had
argued an .tlio Uescrt" Aear JaeuriVba
from - before dawn that ; Saturday

conditions In Europe are not yet
propltous for Initiating' a definito
move for a conference.
It was stated there' had been on
chunge In the status of the proposal
which thus far has been confined
to preliminary and rather IndcfThlto
suggestions from tho administration
that It would make an effort to
have the conference 'called whenever
there appeared to be any likelihood
of Its going through to u successful
termination.
It wus reiterated nt While Court
that president Coolidge, - although
hopeful that another armament con
ference can be arranged. Intends to
bide his time until European condl.
tlona become as stable as possible,
lie realizes that thoro probably
will never bo perfect conditions for
another conference but ho bollovos

to hold ono until the situation

Pr'esldont Coolidge did not want
to Inject the armament question Into

thought It advisable to hold his pro
