COURT FORGIVES HIM AND
Court
DAYTON, Tenn, July 21 (AP).—
The first sensation of the seventh
court day of the Scopes trial came
when Judge Rsulston cited Clarence
Darrow for contempt of court as a
result of remarks made by the Chi-
cago lawyer Friday. He was ordered
‘to appear before the court to an-
swer yesterday morning. However.
at the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion. Darrow gained the door and
extended an apology for his remarks.
The overture from the visiting at-
torney was accepted and Judge and
lawyer shook hands.
When court convened after the re-
cess Attorney General Stewart an-
nounced he had conferred with ment,
.bers of the defense counsel following
the citation. and that Mr. Darrow de-
sired to make a statement.
' Sorry He Said It.
"Of course. Your Honor will re-
member." said Darrow. “that what-
ever took place was hurried. one
thing following another. andxthe
truth is I did not know just how it
looked until I read over the minutes
as Your Ildnor did. and when I read
them over I was sorry that I had
said it.
“On Friday I determined. immedi-
ately on reading it. over. to tell the
court Just what I thought this
morning. In the meantime I had
seen one paper which stated that
the court thought that I was trying
to get in position where I would be
held in contempt, and they thought
so. and the like, and I was at a less
what to do. but I knew Your Honor
wanted to be heard first.
Never Before Hit by Court.
"Now. I want to say that what I
say is in good faith. regardless of
what Your Honor may think it is
right for you to do. But I say it be-
cause I ought to say it for myself.
I have been practicing law for forty-
seven years and above been pretty
busy most of the ime in court, and
I have had many a case where I have
had to do what I have been doing
here. fighting the public opinion of
the people, in the community where
I was trying the case—even in my
own town. and I never yet have in
all my time had any criticism by the
court for anything I have done in
court." .
He. added that he thought he had
gone further than he should have
gone. and “so far as its having been
premeditated or made for the pur-
pose of insult to the court. I had
not the slightest thought of that."
His continued that he had never.
perhaps. been in a community
where his religious ideas differed as
Widely from the great mass as here
but. nevertheless. he had never been
treated better, kindlier or more hos-
pitably.
“Now I certainly meant nothing
aganist the State of Tennessee." he
said, concluding:
“Personally I don't think it con-
stitutes a. contempt, but I am quite
certain the remark should not have
been made and the court could not
help taking notice of it. and I am
sorry that I made it. ever since I
got time to read it, and I want to
apologize to the court for it.".
Judge Raulston. in accepting the
apology. paid a high tribute to Ten-
nessee and the illustrious men the
State has produced. He continued:
"The‘Man that I believe came into
the world to save men from sin, the
Man that died on the Cross that
men might be redeemed. taught that
it was godly to forgive, and were it
not for the forgiving nature of God
Himself 1 would fear for man.
“The Saviour ~died on the Cross
pleading with God for the men who
crucified. Him. I believe in that
Christ. I believe in those principles.
I accept Col. Darrow's apology."

marks in Print, Attorney Tells Judge—
: First Time' He Has
Ever Been “Called? By
Win Suit Over 201m
Of Land; $1 Damages
NEW HAVEN. July 21.—-(AP).
A decision by Judge W. M. Pickett
in Common Pleas Court yesterday
in a suit over recovery of some land
20 inches wide and 40 feet long by
executors of an estate says that
Court street, which is in the city's
center, has no legally recognized
lines. other than those shown in a
written document under date of 17-
84‘.
“ In the land dispute which involv.
ed a narrow strip. the court makes a
finding in accord with those lines. A
number of efforts were made in the
last half century to map the street
on definite lines. thswourt points
out. but none of these lines we're
formally accepted. The executors
won the case and received also a
nominal 31 as damages.
CANCER. MEN ‘
ARE CAUTIOUS
iN STATEMENTS
Dr. Gye Believes Work
Done So Far Is Only
Basis for Big Possi-
bilities
LONDON... July 21,—(AP).
The
immense popular interest in their
cancer virus discovery has led to
several attempts to induce Dr. Wil-
liam E. Gye and Dr. J. E. Barnard
to add to their .public statements.
especially with reference to the
bearing their researches may have
on other diseases.
The tryo scientists have not re-
fused to talk but have been ex-
tremely cautious. dealing only in
general terms with the results of
their labors. Dr. Gye told one in-
terviewer that the work done thus
far was only a‘basis upon which to
start. but that it had opened big
possibilities.
"This clash of research." he. said.
“has reached a stage when it is big-
ger than a one man .‘y'i. Wethavo
data which will muite team work
possible in future experiments."
He added that he. was in posses-
sion of a mass of information. which
he would submit to competent cri-
tics. It is inferred from this and
other equal statement that the
two investigators think it likely they
are on the track of further discov-
eries. regarding which they are not
sufficiently confident to speak.
Some of the newspapers declare
theyw are experimenting in vaccina-
tion against cancer. and the Daily
Sketch says they have prepared vac-
cines from virus which had been
used to inoculate mice. with the re-
sult that the animals became im-
mune from cancer; at least all at-
tempts to give them cancer failed.
Neither Dr. Gye nor Dr. Barnard
has said anything confirmatory of
this. 7
The same paper believes they
have seen and photographed the
germ of smallpox and suggests their
investigations in this direction hold
out the prospect of a revolution in
the form of anti-smallpox vaccine;
tion. vaccine prepared from the ac—
tuu) germs of the disease being used
instead of calf lymph. Of this also
the two investigators have said
nothing.
Both Dr. Gye and Dr. Barnard
are to httend a meeting of the
Medical Association at Bath this
week. They will address the meet-
ing privately. but are not expected
to go beyond the statements pub-
lished last week in the medical jour-
nnl Lancet. .

for consolidation was killed at aspe—
rial election here yesterday. by a
three to one vote. The move for
consolidated governments is not a
Imv one for it has been agitated for
the past three years and Came to a
bald two years ago,-~only to go down
to an overwhelming defeat.
For the past few weeks the town
has been constantly active, with
both sides showing more enthusiasm
than is usually shown in the town
elections.
Separate voting places were pre-
pared for the town and the boroulh
in order to give the borough resi-
dents a chance to show whsther
they wanted to dispense with their
officers. At the borough polls 468
votes were cast. with 353 against
consolidation. At the town polls 1.-
053 votes were cast with 787 against
the new form.
Vacationers Return to Vote.
Scores of voters were away at the
shore or on vacations. but many
of them made special efforts to cast
their vote at the polls, which‘ were
open all day. The enthusiasm
shown by many who came from
miles away to cast their vote on the
negative side gave evidence 'early
in the day that New Canaan would
not have a consolidated government
this year. Although the move was
overwhelmingly defeated . t: was ex-
pressed here by those in i' ‘vor of the
plan that the machinery would be
immediately put in order in prepar-
ation for another vote two years
hence. '
It was the aim of the consolidat-
ed government to do away with
some of the town and borough of-
ficials and thus cut down expenses
in that way. The schedule as work-
ed out previous to the election pian-
ned for better roads, water supply
and fire protection. through the

$85,499“ FINES
FROM AUTOISTS
Connecticut courts imposed fines
of 385,270 upon 3.372 offenders
against the state motor vehicle laws
during the first six months of this
year. according to returns made to
the motor vehicle department by of-
ficials of the courts. In the corres-
ponding period of last year, the
courts imposed fines of 385.499 on
2,876 offenders. The average fine for
a. motor vehicle law violation this
year. therefore. is $25.28. which is
54.!0 less than the average fine for
such a. violation in the first hdlf of
.1924. In both periods covered. some
of the offenders were sentenced to
jail as well as find. but the record
of jail sentences kept by the depart-
ment for the past six months is not
yet complete. as some courts’ remain
to be heard from.
The fines meted out in the firs?
quarter of this year were consider-
ably heavier than in the second
quarter, the average for the months
of January. February and March
having been 834.85. The average
fine dropped to 824.75 for the
